One Person Playing Two Roles

If there’s no important business
I won’t see anyone
The events in the world outside
I won’t question any of them
Breaking the rules
Is my responsibility

Reality is too boring
Go for a vacation in the land of dreams
The content of made-up stories
Is not outrageous
What is outrageous
Is that you are take things too seriously

Don’t be too serious
Don’t be so uptight
How can you take random talk for the truth?

Don’t be too serious
Don’t be so naive
How can you take random talk for the truth?
I’m no god

Talking to myself
I am one person
But the dialogue
Is still divided into two parts
Two parts
Just as if there were another person

Acting out a scene
Playing both parts
A drama of dreams
Holds my life together
