Headcleaner Lyrics

Silence!

Generalmobilmachung!
Zwecks Dekonditionerung aller!
HEADCLEANER!

Nehmt Aufstellung!
Achtung! Unberechenbar ab Marsch!

Neue Wunder, neue Schrecken
Tornado für die Bindungen an Konvention
Für die Windungen
im Schädel, Wirbelsturm
als HEADCLEANER!
Kratzbürztend das Modergewürm!

Geronnene Gedanken, gefrorene taut auf
mit HEADCLEANER!

Hinter uns das All
Mit uns die Gemeinheit
gegen die Allgemeinheit
ist jedes Mittel recht
und billig nur das Mittelmass

Aufmarsch der geschlossenen Abteilung
Allen voran die drüberen Asketen
vollgepumpt
mit HEADCLEANER!

Es folgt das wilde Fu§volk
im kopf nur:
HEADCLEANER!

Die hälfte meiner träume ist kahlgeschoren
gewalt
warten
das erste treten gegen die tür
oder
der erste von offizieller seite
mit fragen
ein streichholz quer in meinem hals
kein satz
durch meine kehle
der nicht
brandsatz wäre
nicht warten
komme ungeschoren davon
soweit die träume

Ein Lied, zwo, drei:

[The following 12 lines are not printed in the booklet.]
'Cos nothing has been done that can be done
And nothing has been sung that can be sung
And nothing has been said so go get out and play the game
It's easy

Nothing has been named that can't be named
And no one has been saved that should have been saved
And nothing you can do but forget(?) yourself this time
It's easy

'Cos nothing has been known that can't be known
And nothing has been seen that ain't been shown
Nowhere you can be and that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

"All you need is HEADCLEANER!"

Das Recht zu kontrollierten Rasereien,
ein Spähtrupp, mit kosmischer Verruchtheit,
nimmt es für sich ein.
Er tränkt die Disziplin
in HEADCLEANER!
Letzte Windmaschine vor der Schlacht!
Hier fegt die Sturmabteilung aus
mit Hurrican
Tiefenreiningung - Auf Wiedersehen!
Zwischen grauen Zellen und in den Ecken
Wo immer Fungi sich verstecken
Sie machen Garaus
Es ist zu spät
Es wird Salve gegrü§t und niedergemäht
mit HEADCLEANER!
TABULA RASA!
TABULA RASA!
TABULA RASA!
HEADCLEANER!

dieses steht in flammen, jenes is
zusammengestürzt.

heftiger und dichter aschenregen.

aufgelöst in rauch und nebel.

es wird hell, was aber nicht der tag,
sondern herannahendes feuer; bleibt in der
entfernung: die finsternis kommt wieder.

die sonne kommt, trübe sonnenfinsternis.

alle gegenstände sind mit asche, wie mit
schnee bedeckt.

wir aber, die jetzt die gefahr kennen,
und solcher gegenwärtig sind, können uns
auch jetzt nichts entschliessen...

(Silence!

General mobilization
All subjects to be deconditioned!
HEADCLEANER!

Fall into line!
Attention! Unpredictable, forward march!

New wonders, new horrors
tornado for the obligations to convention
for the convolutions
in the skull, cyclone
as HEADCLEANER!
Wire brushes to the vermin trash!

Clotted thoughs, frozen now melt
with HEADCLEANER!

Behind us the universe
With us inhumanity
Against universal humanity
any means is right
and proper only the right to the mean average

On parade the psychiatric unit
over-the-top ascetics up front
pumped up
with HEADCLEANER!

Next in line the wild rank and file
just one thing in their heads:
HEADCLEANER!

one half of my dreams is shaved bald
violence
waiting
the first battering on the door
or
the first one from official quarters
with questions
a matchstick caught in my throat
no phrase
through my throat
which would not
start a blaze
don't wait
get a close shave escape
those were the dreams.

A song, one, two, three:

'Cos nothing has been done that can be done
And nothing has been sung that can be sung
And nothing has been said so go get out and play the game
It's easy

Nothing has been named that can't be named
And no one has been saved that should have been saved
And nothing you can do but forget(?) yourself this time
It's easy

'Cos nothing has been known that can't be known
And nothing has been seen that ain't been shown
Nowhere you can be and that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

"All you need is HEADCLEANER!"

The right to attacks of controlled frenzy -
a scout patrol with cosmic iniquity
takes it into captivity.
Discipline is soaked
in HEADCLEANER!
Last wind machine before the battle!
This is where the storm unit sweeps out
with hurricane
deep pore cleansing - never seen again!
Between grey cells and in all the furrows
where hidden fungus always burrows
they eliminate
it is too late
bombarded with salutes and mowed down
straight with HEADCLEANER!
TABULA RASA!
TABULA RASA!
TABULA RASA!
HEADCLEANER!

This here is in flames, that there has
completely collapsed.

heavy and thick ash rain.

dissolved in smoke and fog.

it's getting light, not a new day
but an approaching fire; stay at a distance:
darkness will return.

the sun is rising, gloomy eclipse of the sun.

everything is coated with ash
like snow.

we, however, who now know the danger and
who are aware of it, even we cannot yet make
up our minds...)
