silent groaning on the floor
   slight clicking out the light
   gentle squeaking of the door
   i am off in the night
  
   away away
   nothing's left to say
   i am far away
  
   kicking empty cans
   just around the corner
   maybe you look on me
   as a lonesome mourner
   while i'm drifting off
   along distant shores
   think i'm nothing but this tin
   because i don't feel anymore
  
   was it meant for me
   when you soared from that pole
   can you see what i can't see
   a resting place for my soul
  
   away away
   nothing's left to say
   i am far away
  
   kicking empty cans
   just around the corner
   maybe you look on me
   as a lonesome mourner
   while i'm drifting off
   along distant shores
   think i'm nothing but this tin
   because i don't feel anymore
  
   green feather on the ground
   he's been watching you
   proclamation all around:
   "only passing through!”
  
   away away
   nothing's left to say
   i am far away
  
   far away from now
   sorrows and grief
   way up in the sky
   you give me relief
   like the way you are floating
   conquers gravitation
   makes me overcome
   this leaden stagnation
  
   kicking empty cans
   just around the corner
   maybe you look on me
   as a lonesome mourner
   while i'm drifting off
   along distant shores
   think i'm nothing but this tin
   because i don't feel anymore
