Einstürzende Neubauten - Was Ist Ist (live)

What Is Is
Two things are endless: ignorance and space
None . . . . . . , just . . . . . everywhere
More . . . . . . and . . . . abound
Just love and the weather never, never end
We demand some change in our orbit
absolute liberation from Newton's gravitational mania
no gravitational bodily harm, or else flying's a heavy task
Put an end to continental drift, bring back Pangaea
What is is
What is not is possible
Just what is not is possible
We demand more . . . with our . . . charm
More . . . and . . . , pears, marzipan
We want even more . . , substances illegal
No monday leftovers, five-star minimum
A first-class bonus ticket from . . to Berlin
A crate of champagne, eco-vodka, eco-gin
A world house without walls, there must be enough space
A morning without hangover, no regrets, not alone
What is is
What is not is possible
Just what is not is possible
We demand a sundown for the Occident
Dance capacity, inexhaustible, the night after finds no end
without . . . . . . and beyond critique
a completely empty sky, enriched with music
We pencil black figures into our utopian calculation
We demand a deft hand and the appropriate touch
In the daytime stars as well, more stars in general
And today yesterday's men for underground work
What is is
What is not is possible
Just what is not is possible
We want to nibble, kindle, armble, gambol all along the edge
bulimic diet for the whole governing body
and . . . . . . . no lettuce heads
prison for John Everyman for forgery and treason
We demand letters are put back in the alphabet
so the likes of me can think amid the Babylonian babble
we demand . . . . and . . . . .
play the music really loud at least, so someone can believe us
What is is
What is not is possible
Just what is not is possible


The blanks were left on the lyrics so the audience would fill them in their own words...
