Haus der Lüge [English translation]

First floor:

Here live the blind

Who believe what they see

And the deaf

Who believe what they hear

Strapped to a kitchen stool

Sits a lunatic who believes

Everything that he can touch

(his hands lie in his lap)

Second floor:

Roll to roll

In wood-chip wallpaper

Tenants stand around in the corridors

Contemplating the walls attentively

Searching on it strip by strip

For printing or spelling errors

They couldn't even decipher their own names

To the next floor:

Which, oh wonder! Was never completed

And can only be reached by the stairs

-

Here lie errors belonging to the company

With this they tile the floors

Where none are permitted to tread

Fourth floor:

Here lives the architect

He goes on with his plan

This building crammed full of ideas

It reaches from funda- to firmament

And from fundament to the company

At the ground floor:

There are located four doors

They lead

Directly outdoors

Or better stated, to the cornerstone

There, who wants to can wait

The concrete comes at 12:00

Laying the cornerstone!

Laying the cornerstone, lies, lies, lies!

Trains of thought are painted over

In head-height brown

Infamous or Catholic violet

For better orientation

Attic floor:

It has some damage

An old man sits on the roof truss

Dead angels are scattered on the floor

(their faces match his)

He holds a gun between his knees

He aims it at his mouth

And in the skull

Through the skull

And out of the skull, outward

In the top of the roof

Permeates the bullet

God has shot himself

An attic floor can be expanded

God has shot himself

An attic floor can be expanded
