When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep Ra-ta-ta-dow Ra-ta-ta-dow Ba-da-ba-da-dow Ba-da-ba-da-dow Will the heavy mortal urges sink into the silent deep? When the beating of the heart comes to a sudden, chilling halt Will the noise of all our thoughts vanish in the empty vault? Through the blackout curtains, the moon begins to gleam Piercing through the floorboards, a toxic, silver beam Yeah Wake up to the static Forcing open heavy eyes, the feeling's automatic A basic human longing keeps the fragile flesh awake Ski-bi-di-bop I feel the sudden ache Walking on the borderline, the fever starts to break Boom-bap Slippers dragging slowly 'cross the wooden floor Dropping from the world, walking to the lonely door Trading the cold release for a mind that starts to sway Zaba-daba-daba-doo-wop Consciousness is crossing the borderline today Listen to the water dripping, ticking from the sink Tick-tock Ba-da-ba-da-doo-wop Ba-da-ba-da-ding Is it clinging to the living, gasping for a breath? Or a steady little countdown leading us to death? When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep Will the loneliness we carry sink into the silent deep? Shoo-bee-doo-wah When the soul is freed from gravity and leaves the aching land It will scatter into dust, mixing with galactic sand Rat-a-tat-tat The piercing white of porcelain is burning in my sight Standing in this empty room, swallowed by the night I can hear the fragile vessel cracking at the seam Ski-doo-bee-dow The hollow core is filling with the shadows of a dream Shadows of a dream Shadows of a dream Shadows of a dream Listen to the water dripping, ticking like a clock Click-clack Knocking at the lock Is it clinging to the living, gasping for a breath? Or a steady little countdown leading us to death? When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep Ski-bi-di-bop-bop, falling too deep Will the heavy mortal urges sink into the silent deep? Will the noise of all our thoughts vanish with our final fault? Rehearsing for the silence in the darkness of the vault Brrrah Da-ba-da-ba-doo-wop, ski-bi-di-bee-bop Never gonna stop, letting the gravity drop A screaming urge between the living and the dead An echo ringing in the darkness of my head Let me carve this very moment deep inside the heart When we fall into the shadows of the long, eternal sleep Will the loneliness we carry sink into the silent deep? When the soul is freed from gravity and leaves the aching land It will scatter into dust, mixing with galactic sand Shoo-bee-doo-wop fading away Melting in the slumber before the morning shade Slipping far awaymore
