Collapse Into Now
Hey now, take your pills, and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work.
Crash land, no illusions;
no collision, no intrusion
My imagination runs away.


I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me


I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight,
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day and then the day
becomes the night
I will make it through the night.


Hey now, take the U-Bahn
5 stops, change the station,
Hey now, don't forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand, million people
that's astounding
Chasing through the city with their stars on bright.


I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me


I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight,
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day and then the day
becomes the night
I will make it through the night.


I don't mind repeating
I am not complete,
I have never been the gifted type
Hey man, tell me something
are you off to somewhere?
Do you... want to go with me tonight?


I know, I know, I know that this is changing;
We walk the streets to feel the ground
I'm chasing: ÜBerlin


I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight,
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day and then the day
becomes the night
I will make it through the night.
