Lyrics:
HAUS DER LUEGE HOUSE OF LIES
-------------- -------------
ERSTES GESCHOSS: FIRST FLOOR:
HIR LEBEN DIE BLINDEN HERE LIVE THE BLIND
DIE GLAUBEN WAS SIE SEHEN WHO BELIEVE WHAT THEY SEE
UND DIE TAUBEN AND THE DEAF
DIE GLAUBEN WAS SIE HOEREN WHO BELEIVE WHAT THEY HEAR
FESTGEBUNDEN AUF EINEM KUECHENHOCKER BOUND AND GAGGED TO KITCHEN-STOOL
SITZT EIN IRRER, DER GLAUBT SITS A FOOL, WHO BELEIVES
ALLES WAS ER ANFASSEN KANN IN ALL HE CAN FEEL
(SEINE HAENDE LIEGEN IM SCHOSS) (HIS HANDS IN HIS LAP)
ZWEITES GESCHOSS: SECOND FLOOR:
ROLLE FUER ROLLE ROLL AFTER ROLL
BAHN FUER BAHN LENGTH AFTER LENGTH
RAUHFASER TAPEZIERT IN WOODCHIP WALLPAPER
EINZELNE MIETER STEHEN HERUM LONE TENANTS STAND AROUND
BETRACHTEN DIE WAENDE AUFMERKSAM OBSERVING THE WALLS WITH FROWNS
SUCHEN DRUCK- UND LOOKING FOR PRINTING AND SPELLING
RECHTSCHREIBFEHLER MISTAKES
KOENNTEN NICHT MAL IHREN NAMEN THEY COULDN'T EVEN DECIPHER THEIR
ENTZIFFERN OWN NAMES
AUF INS NAECHSTE GESCHOSS: UP TO THE NEXT FLOOR
WELCHES, OH WUNDER!, NIE WHICH, OH WONDER! NEVER COMPLETED
FERTIGGESTELLT
NUR UEBER DIE TREPPE ERREICHT CAN ONLY BE REACHED BY THE STAIRS
WERDEN KANN

HIER LAGERN IRRTUEMER, DIE HERE ARE THE STORED ERRORS
GEHOEREN DER FIRMA WHICH BELONG TO THE FIRM
DAMIT KACHELN SIE DIE BOEDEN AND WITH WHICH THEY TILE THE FLOORS
AN DIE DARF KEINER RAN UPON THESE NONE MAY TREAD
VIERTES GESCHOSS: FOURTH FLOOR:
HIER WOHNT DER ARCHITEKT HERE LIVES THE ARCHITECT
ER GEHT AUF IN SEINEM PLAN IMMERSED IN HIS PLAN OF
DIESES GEBAEUDE STECKT VOLLER IDEEN THIS BUILDING CRAMMED WITH IDEAS
ES REICHT VON FUNDA- BIS FIRMAMENT IT STRETCHES FROM FUNDA- TO FIRMAMENT
UND VOM FUNDAMENT BIS ZUR FIRMA AND FROM ITS FOUNDATIONS TO THE FIRM
IH ERDGESCHOSS: IN THE GROUND FLOOR:
BEFINDEN SICH VIER TUEREN THERE ARE FOUR DOORS
DIE FUEHREN THEY LEAD
DIREKT INS FREIE DIRECTLY OUT-OF-DOORS
ODER BESSER GESAGT: IN DEN OR MORE PRECISELY: TO THE
GRUNSTEIN CORNER-STONE
DA KANN WARTEN WER WILL HE WHO WANTS TO CAN WAIT THERE
UM ZWOELF KOMMT BETON THE CONCRETE'S COMING AT TWELVE
GRUNDSTEINLEGO! CORNER-STONE LEGO!
GRUNDSTEINLEGO! CORNER-STONE LEGO!
LUEGE! LUEGE! LUEGE! LIES! LIES! LIES!
GEDANKENAENGE, SIND GESTRICHEN THOUGHT PASSAGES ARE PAINTED OVER

ZUR BESSEREN ORIENTIERUNG FOR BETTER ORIENTATION
DACHGESCHOSS: TOP FLOOR:
ES HAT EINEN SCHADEN HAS SOME DAMAGE
IM DACHSTUHL SITZT EIN ALTER MANN IN THE RAFTERS AND OLD MAN SITS
AUF DEM BODEN TOTE ENGEL VERSTREUT DEAD ANGELS ARE STREWN ACROSS THE FLOOR
(DEREN GESICHTER SEHEN IHM AENGLICH) (THEIR FACES RESEMBLE HIS)
ZWISCHEN DEN KNIEN HAELT ER EIN BETWEEN HIS KNEES HE HOLDS A GUN
GEWEHR
ER ZIELT AUF SIENEN MUND HE AIMS IT AT HIS MOUTH
UND IN DEN SCHAEDEL AND INTO THE SKULL
DURCH DEN SCHAEDEL AND OUT OF THE SKULL'S OTHER SIDE
UND AUS DEM SCHAEDEL HERAUS INTO THE ROOF'S APEX
IN DEN DACHFIRST DRILLS THAT BULLET
DRINGT DAS GESCHOSS
GOTT HAT SICH ERSCHOSSEN GOD HAS SHOT HIMSELF
EIN DACHGESCHOSS WIR AUSGEBAUT NOW A TOP FLOOR CAN BE RENOVATED
GOTT HAT SICH ERSCHOSSEN GOT HAS SHOT HIMSELF
EIN DACHGESCHOSS WIR AUSGEBAUT NOW A TOP FLOOR CAN BE RENOVATED
LUEGE, LUEGE LIES, LIES
EIN DACHGESCHOSS WIR AUSGEBAUT A TOP FLOOR CAN BE RENOVATED
