[Tocotronic - The New Strangeness songtext lyrics]
I was told the time had come
And a strangeness had begun
And everything that once was here
All at once will disappear
And before the morning breaks
Many voices will be raised
And though no one is certain yet
Everyone is sure to fall in step
Well nobody knows when and how it will come
And whether you win or become undone
You want to be prepared
You've put some money away
And canceled the meeting on thursday
You're ready and willed to
Lead a different life
But at the moment it seems
No direction is right
It is never very easy from
One day to the next
You have to be sure that the dog is fed
And somewhere it has already begun
Even where I may go you could
Still walk in the sun
But then no one knew what it could be
But there were already signs and here
And there you could see
It was not only in places that it appeared
There were times of day when it was clear
In the hours after the sun went down
Change had come and it was all around
If the truth be told we can not deny
That what we used to hide
From now we welcome inside
And it was understood that best unconsciously
That something's unfold and
Something's happening
And only just now has it become
Too much to ignore that something has begun
The signs have been clear the time is here
And now a strangeness has appeared
And I lie in bed and I have to admit
I have a strong urge to turn around again
Outside where the night blends
With the daylight
See things coming through and
It concerns me too
And a strangeness had begun
And everything that once was here
All at once will disappear
And before the morning breaks
Many voices will be raised
And though no one is certain yet
Everyone is sure to fall in step
Well nobody knows when and how it will come
And whether you win or become undone
You want to be prepared
You've put some money away
And canceled the meeting on thursday
You're ready and willed to
Lead a different life
But at the moment it seems
No direction is right
It is never very easy from
One day to the next
You have to be sure that the dog is fed
And somewhere it has already begun
Even where I may go you could
Still walk in the sun
But then no one knew what it could be
But there were already signs and here
And there you could see
It was not only in places that it appeared
There were times of day when it was clear
In the hours after the sun went down
Change had come and it was all around
If the truth be told we can not deny
That what we used to hide
From now we welcome inside
And it was understood that best unconsciously
That something's unfold and
Something's happening
And only just now has it become
Too much to ignore that something has begun
The signs have been clear the time is here
And now a strangeness has appeared
And I lie in bed and I have to admit
I have a strong urge to turn around again
Outside where the night blends
With the daylight
See things coming through and
It concerns me too
