Geisterjäger [English translation]

I'm counting the threads of dust on the ceiling

Fidget with my cushion 'cos it's not really comfy

Toss and turn into every corner

Looking for a place to find rest

There's springs inside my eye lids

I squint, they spring open again

My head believes it's a ghostbuster

Points its Geiger counter towards me

Clock strikes one, then four, then seven

Light has driven the darkness away

I'm tracing the little hand, from tick to tock

Thoughts stacking up like Tetris

Can't sort them anymore

My worries don't care about the time

Brats heckling inside of me

I know everything's gonna be alright

Life's like a bowling alley

Can't stop wiping my eyes

Hear the alarm clocks set off next door

Clock strikes one, then four, then seven

Light has driven the darkness away

I'm tracing the little hand, from tick to tock

Everything's gonna be alright

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Sleep, sleep, sleep
