Lyrics to the single and the album track listing are posted below.





'Strange World ' - originally by Ké

Verse:
Is this our last chance to say all we have to say?
Hiding here inside ourselves we live our lives afraid
So close your eyes and just believe in everything your told
Cause in this land of great confusion it's easy to give up control

Chorus:

Strange world - people talk and tell only lies
Strange world - people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world - dream one-day we'll see the light
Strange world - believe and everything will be alright


Verse: And this is the place where everything begins and ends again
No secrets left to find no seven deadly sins
This world that we have wasted has kept us very well
When science now is sacred who will save us from ourselves

Chorus:

Strange world - people talk and tell only lies
Strange world - people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world - dream one-day we'll see the light
Strange world - believe and everything will be alright


Verse: Strange world people talk sometimes I wonder why
Strange world people kill still no-one hears their cries
Strange world burn these thoughtless tears out of my eyes, eyes

Strange world people talk and tell only lies
Strange world people kill an eye for an eye
Strange world dream one-day we'll see the light, ahh, ahh

Strange world people kill and people hate and
People talk and people kill - and still I wonder wonder why, why
