tsunami baby


the newest wave is coming baby
i don’t know if you know
what that means

i’m sitting here on the mountain baby
la france beats hawaii in the question of coasts
musk is fortunately already out again
professional experience absolutely required
3D in real-time becoming standard
and pink is the upcoming colour

i, high above, have the overbite overview
novels and film-trilogies are winning the race
whoever is clever prints the explicit lyrics
of the soundtrack promptly in various languages
my verdict on the water-levels blusters unrestrained
on the downward open laughing richter scale
see you tomorrow baby I’ll be right back after a short
application break with the latest insights

good for nothing
but ready for anything
i sit on the mountain baby
near the giant dishes
in clothes that calculate
and receive pictures
near the shining dishes
with which we browse the universe
in london they saw up cows
as artwork in bangkok they
have cockroaches as friends

the newest wave is coming baby
i don’t know if you know
what that means

if you want to know
what you should do baby
look for your own style
I will send you the catalogues
