World On A String [German translation]

You know I lose,

you know I win

You know I call for

the shape I'm in.

It's just a game you

see me play,

Only real in the way

That I feel

from day to day.

Although the answer

is not unknown,

I'm searchin', searchin',

and how I've grown.

It's not all right

to say goodbye,

And the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.

No, the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.

It's only real in the way

That I feel from day to day.

No, the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.
