Sopor Aeternus Helvetia Sexualis Lyrics

What if
is a game for scholars,
so: it was sheer necessity.
Nothing but chance that,
for reasons hidden to the world,
has led the two souls here.
Made them equal like dog and owner,
annoyed, but neutral, spend the night,
sharing the same bed they did slumber,
beneath two blankets ... side by side.

It makes no difference to explain,
how it all came to this,
'cause WHAT IF is a game for scholars,
approve and seal it with a kiss!

Quickly erasing your l___, all we inspire is disgust.
But then, of course, you can never be sure,
and that's the ghost that's haunting you!!!

Familiar causes made me shiver,
mainly with chill this foetus coiled.
Apologies did only soothe his anger,
but explanations could not avoid
him winding down the ancient form,
the spell of insecurity,
that liturgy, which cruelty pointed out:
the difference between him and me.

I can't be bothered to explain,
how it all comes to this,
because all causes are "familiar",
accept and seal it ... with a kiss.

The larch and not the morning-c___,
beheld two spoons our cook had graced,
and as our hero woke, he found
his left arm still around my waist.
He rose, and I, the ugly child,
born of the shadow-sphere,
allowed my thoughts to briefly travel
to a world ... too far from here:
where it's the c___ that greets the morning,
and piles have meanings unlike their faces here ... -
but WHAT IF is a game for scholars now, baby,
so try your best now to hide the tears.

He said, as he walked to the bathroom:
"I am not at all like you!!!"

"Well, I don't have the slightest idea
what you could possibly be referring to.
But rest a__ure, man, because whatever
this most dreadful thing might be,
be sure that our difference is more than obvious
to the world outside ... and me!"

Quickly erasing your l___, all we inspire is disgust.
But then, of course, you can never be sure,
and that's the face that's frightening you!!!"

I can't be bothered to explain, how it all came to this,
'cause WHAT IF is a game for scholars,
and it's called:
