The Interimlovers Lyrics - Einstuerzende Neubauten

During one slip of the tongue 

there is big bang and total entropy 

from red giants to white dwarfs 

the whole scale 

of cosmic dimensions are falling 

from my mouth 

in the description of a kiss 

of the interimlovers 

of the interimlovers 

in the interim 

between microphone and macrocosm 

between genesis und sixsixsix 

inbetween and on the bttom of the sea 

between plankton und philosophy 

between semtex and utopia 

there they are 

the interimlovers 

in their communal mouth 

lives a hummingbird 

with each beat of its wings 

too swift for the eye to see 

cultures flourish and perish 

whole continents vanish 

I wade through the filth of mighty 

metaphors 

meta, meta, meta by metre 

with gestures far too wide 

for the interimlovers 

the interimlovers 

are lovers in the 

INTERIM 

between temporary and tempura 

between tightrope and sabre dance 

between chaos and with no course at all 

between semtex and utopia 

there they are 

the interimlovers 

right there in each others arms 

in the course of just one winking beat of an eye 

thirstily devour 

the last drop of light 

they are not there yesterday 

and tomorrow not yet 

the lovers 

the interimlovers 

they are not there yesterday 

and tomorrow not yet 

the interimlovers 

they are not there yesterday 

and tomorrow not yet 

es gibt sie gestern nicht mehr 

und morgen noch nicht
