Things come, things go
Sense and nonsense of life
Head in the clouds, head in the sand
Flown high and so often burned
Everything turns and it turns daily
The power in you carries and betrays you
Man in the mirror, hate or love
He drives you before him and he makes you tired
And you want to be someone else, who can that be, I can't think of anyone
And you don't want to do what you do
And yet you sit here again, writing all night
False pride, vanity
Your life, but no time for life
Filled books with this emptiness
Your nightmare on cloud 7

And I close my eyes
To all these questions
Because it's hard to carry the doubts
On your shoulders
So I close my eyes
To believe in something
Is it worth loving you
And loving life
Here on cloud 7

Things come, things go
Fear of falling, rather stand for nothing
In the flood of images see nothing more
And then go down with flying colors
Fly off in catacombs at night
Shoot off again in catacombs
And dive in the crowd
Believe in nothing but miracles
And you want to be somewhere else
Where can that be, you can't think of it right now
Thick skull and thin skin
Know everyone, but trust no one
Everything is said and no one wants to hear it
It would be so easy if it wasn't so easy
And all the contradictions silenced
My nightmare on cloud 7

And I close my eyes
To all these questions
Because it's hard to carry the doubts
On your shoulders
So I close my eyes
To believe in something
Is it worth loving you
And loving life

And I close my eyes
To all these questions
I'm tired of doubting
After all these days

So I close my eyes (Things come, things go)
To believe in something (Head in the clouds, head in the sand)
Is it worth loving you (Flown high and so often burned)
To love this life (Man in the mirror, hate or love)
Your nightmare on cloud 7

Here on cloud 7
Here on cloud 7
Here on cloud 7, 7, 7, 7
