LYRICS (German, English on Youtube)
wie gletscher tau. es löst sich auf. kein eis mehr in der blutbahn. ich war mal raus. ging nix bei stau. weil ich nicht in mood war.
sonne wie ne supernova. stimmung wie ein schluck vom soda.
ich hab die fühlung. ich fühl die fühlung. mich treibt ein gefühl um. sag hast du auch fühlung? ...
