I slipped away last night Took me away from sight and the place I know. All crushed upon my skin This mess I put you in and the punch I threw. (unordnung, faust) It was a strange reaction for someone like you to remain on side And in a chain reaction (kettenreaktion) I was down and calling for a place to hide.
I saw a broken arm Machines will all break down in the way I know. Mended and all made clean (bessern, heilen) I saw up on the screen all the stones I throw.
It was a strange reaction for someone like you to remain so sure And in a chain reaction I dissolve and break and then away I crawl
