| Mr. Kraut’s jinx was an Egyptian sphinx
|
| It happened during the holiday to the Valley of Kings
|
| He got hypnotised like Peter Pan by the moon
|
| The strength of a smell made him quite dizzy soon
|
| And suddenly there were cobwebs all over
|
| And suddenly there were cobwebs all over
|
| And thoughts of forgotten riddles returned
|
| It was like Fata Morganas that weren’t
|
| When saucers seemed to carry him up to the sky
|
| Mr. Kraut, surprised, choked in a soundless cry
|
| Considering those imaginations
|
| Considering those imaginations
|
| And the pictures in his eyes began to swim
|
| When the extraterrestrials whispered to him
|
| Now he knew the strangers were there for real
|
| He wasn’t dreaming 'cause he still could feel
|
| When he pinched himself as a precaution
|
| When he pinched himself as a precaution
|
| And he thought by himself
|
| Wherever I stay
|
| Whatever I think
|
| Whatever I say
|
| Whatever I mean
|
| Whatever I dream
|
| I’m betrayed and sold
|
| I am controlled
|
| What will be there
|
| What will be there tomorrow
|
| What will be there
|
| What will be there tomorrow
|
| He was flying high for one night and one day
|
| He knew he was already light years away
|
| He was still disturbed and rather blind
|
| What kind of new world was he going to find
|
| But he felt they soon would be landing
|
| But he felt they soon would be landing
|
| And shapes of shadows were drifting by
|
| He felt like an animal, scared and shy
|
| The invisible ship by whoever it was steered
|
| Landed softly but immediately disappeared
|
| What the hell were they going to do with him?
|
| What the hell were they going to do with him?
|
| Somehow he was glad, but he was taken instead
|
| They carried him away for another night and day
|
| And after a while the darkness disappeared
|
| It was the moment of arrival he feared
|
| 'Cause he knew the journey was now all over
|
| 'Cause he knew the journey was now all over
|
| The enlightenment was shocking
|
| He was put into a zoo
|
| Plenty of beasts there
|
| And no way out of there too
|
| He was to be imprisoned
|
| For the rest of his life
|
| And all the loneliness
|
| Without a wife
|
| What a damned, what a damned damned damned future
|
| What a damned, damned damned future
|
| While he was pondering about his bad, bad luck
|
| About the hopeless situation he was stuck in
|
| The door opened a little and they thrust somebody in
|
| He stumbled over there to find out what it means
|
| What a gas when he looked there down to the ground
|
| It was a beautiful girl that he had found
|
| He took her tenderly by the arm
|
| And said to her, don’t feel no harm
|
| Don’t bother to worry, everything is okay
|
| 'Cause future ain’t tomorrow
|
| Future is today
|
| 'Cause future ain’t tomorrow
|
| Future is today
|
| 'Cause future ain’t tomorrow
|
| Future is today
|
| 'Cause future ain’t tomorrow
|
| Future is today
|
| Future ain’t tomorrow
|
| Future is today |
