20. Einstürzende Neubauten "Haus Der Lüge"
Sat Dec 8, 2012, 02:39 AM
Dec 2012



Haus Der Lüge

Haus der Lüge

Erstes Geschoss:
Hier leben die Blinden
die glauben was sie sehen
und die Tauben
die glauben was sie hören
festgebunden auf einem Küchenhocker
sitzt ein Irrer, der glaubt
alles was er anfassen kann
(seine Hände liegen im Schoss)

Zweites Geschoss:
Rolle für Rolle
Bahn für Bahn
Rauhfaser tapeziert
in den Gängen stehen Mieter herum
Betrachten die Wände aufmerksam
suchen darauf Bahn um Bahn
nach Druck- und Rechtschreibfehlern
könten nicht mal ihren Namen entziffern

Auf ins nächste Geschoss:
Welches, oh Wunder! nie fertiggestellt
nur über die Treppe erreicht werden kann



hier lagern Irrtümer, die gehören der Firma
damit kacheln sie die Böden
an die darf keiner ran Viertes Geschoss:
Hier wohnt der Architekt
er geht auf in seinem Plan
dieses Gebäude steckt voller Ideen
es reicht von Funda- bis Firmament
und vom Fundament bis zur Firma

Im Erdgeschoss:
Befinden sich vier Türen
die führen
direkt ins Freie
oder besser gesagt. in den Grundstein
da kann warten wer will
um zwölf kommt Beton
Grundsteinlegung!
Gedankengänge sind gestrichen
in Kopfhöhe braun
infam oder katholisch violett
zur besseren Orientierung

Dachgeschoss:
Es hat einen Schaden
im Dachstuhl sitzt ein alter Mann
auf dem Boden tote Engel verstreut
(deren Gesichter sehen ihm ähnlich)
zwischen den Knien hält er ein Gewehr
er zielt auf seinen Mund
und in den Schädel
durch den Schädel
und aus dem Schädel heraus
in den Dachfirst
dringt das Geschoss

Gott hat sich erschossen
ein Dachgeschoss wird ausgebaut
Gott hat sich erschossen
Ein Dachgeschoss wird ausgebaut
Lüge, Lüge
Ein Dachgeschoss wird ausgebaut


[font size="4"]house of lies[/font]

First floor:
Here live the blind
who believe what they see
and the deaf
who believe what they hear
bound and gagged to kitchen-stool
sits a fool, who believes
in all he can feel
(his hands in his lap)

Second floor:
roll after roll
length after length
in woodchip wallpaper
lone tenants stand around
observing the walls with frowns
searching row by row
looking for printing and spelling mistakes
they couldn't even decipher their own names

Up to the next floor!
Which, oh wonder! Never completed
can only be reached by the stairs





here are stored errors, which belong to the firm
and with which they tile the floors
upon these none may tread

Fourth floor:
here lives the architect
immersed in his plan of
this building crammed with ideas
it stretches from funda- to firmament
and from it`s foundations to the firm

In the ground floor.
there are four doors
they lead
directly out-of-doors
or more precisely: to the corner-stone
he who wants to can wait there
the concrete's coming at twelve
corner-stone lego
thought passages are painted over
in head-height brown
infamous or catholic purple
for better orientation

Top floor:
has some damage
in the rafters an old man sits
dead angels are strewn across the floor
(their faces resemble his)
between his knees he holds a gun
he aims it at his mouth
and into the skull
and out of the skull
and out of the skull's other side
into the roof's apex
drills that bullet god has shot himself
now a topfloor can be renovated
god has shot himself
now a top floor can be renovated
lies, lies
a top floor can be renovated

(to your thread title) and I like pop tunes with a catchy/HOOK melody, MUST have a melody, an obsessive/repetitive HOOK. AFTER the hook/melody, whatever the lyrics say might or might not matter. Both of these are kiss-off songs, the one in Spanish being fun and acted out in the video.
