[Intro - album version only]

Oh so far away

If just for one day

No matter how hard you try

Things slip by

[Verse 1]

Abandon it now!

We will walk together

A simple case

That we need to give in

For simple pleasure

On two-inch tape

We hear ourselves

As echos we fade

Below white noise

We recognize

And will find new joys

[Chorus 1]

Oh so far away

If just for one day

No matter how hard you try

Time slips by

Oh so far away

If just for one day

No matter how much you long

Things are gone

[Verse 2]

Come shut it down!

Let us walk together

It's simply greed

That we need to give in

With simple pleasure

On fading film

We watch ourselves

In clouds we vanish

Wallowing in dust

We recognize

No fear, just lust

[Chorus 2]

Oh so far away

If just for one day

No matter how hard you try

Things slip by

Oh so far away

If just for one day

Through time and space tread light

It's gonna be alright

[Outro - album version only]

Oh so far away

If just for one day

No matter how hard you try

Time slips by

Oh so far away

If just for one day

No matter how hard you try

Things slip by
