(chords clear)
I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back
I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go
But when you're close, you look through me just like a ghost
I like sleeping, I'm only safe when I'm dreaming
I need a new heart, this one's hollow, always scheming
Chorus #1: (chords distorted)
{section: Interlude}
[by the way, I don't know if this expression is right.
I'm German, you know... ;-)]
Play the same chords as during the verse, but distorted, 2x.

I'm going from strange to stranger, every year
I take it back, you're panicking, I take it back
I just don't know, I really thought I wanted to go
