Gekommen, Um Zu Bleiben

You say: The higher they come
The harder they fall
So damn high up and still standing tall
You say: what's going on must come down
I say I'm calling the end
Without looking down

We're not leaving, but if we do
Then we'll go out in style
Sorry, but I said
We're here to stay

Here to stay
We're not going away
Here to stay
Like a perfect stain
Here to stay
We're not going away
Once that stain's in your jeans
It ain't coming out
Sorry, I think
We're here
To stay

And you sing thank you and goodbye
Waving flags for us to die
Cheers! Courage comes before the fall
Where there's speed, people wish for the bang
You tie us to the horse and ask us to drive it
Sorry, I said

We're here to stay
Here to stay
We're not going away

Then you say: Look, the end is near, now please face your final curtain
But we're smart, we stay here, for the faces that are outraged

These ghosts sing off-key and are hard to exorcise
Sorry, I said
We're here to stay
We're not leaving, but if we do, then we'll go out in style
Sorry, I said
We're here to stay
