Big Amounts

words and music by Udo Klopke

1. Standing on the waterline, separate the words from rhymes
Separate the right from wrong, and put it all in a perfect song

Boy meets girl, they fall in love
Wait, think we heard this one before
Muse falls down like sommer´s snow
Masterpiece, I need you now

Take a step back, pull yourself out
Things tend to look uniform in big amounts
Take a step back, too close to the wall
You can´t see the difference – in bigger amounts

2. The world was waste, without a form, “So, what to do?” asks himself the Lord
puts together some flesh and blood, a little bit of soul and heart

Looks down on all the work he´s done
On all the mess that´s going on
Something went terribly wrong
So he´s sending out a giant flood

He takes a step back, pulls himself out
Things tend to look uniform in big amounts
Take a step back, too close to the wall
You can´t see the difference – in bigger amounts

When you screw up the test, when your hair is a mess
When you took wrong road, hit the wrong note
When your well thought out plan went down the drain
Success is a liar, a bird on the wire
But the rain will fall down, on the king and on the clown
You came as a lion – and leave as a mouse

3. So, here I am, still in the line, a thousand windmills on my mind
But we all got a long way to go, where it ends – nobody knows

Take a step back, pull yourself out
Things tend to look uniform in big amounts
Take a step back, too close to the wall
You can´t see the difference – in bigger amounts
