The Notwist
"Pilot"


He's living next the rails.
He can tell you things
of different cars and trains.

Now he's trying the whole day
to switch off time
by causing train-delay.

Could be enough
if only he's the pilot
once a day.

Not a word to compensate.
Not a sentence to describe
this desperate state.

Not a picture to compare.
We step into a room
of opaque air.

Could be enough
if only we are pilots
once a day.
