Immer unter Strom [English translation]

No more than seven things in your luggage

Nothing on the compass but straight ahead

And every 100 kilometers take your helmet off to pray

Getting away is sacred to us

Arriving doesn't matter

And the only agony is the fear

That it won’t continue one day

Always energised

Always on the road and always late everywhere

What doesn’t move can’t be grasped

The ground under our feet is getting hot

Our skin becomes a tight shell, tense

Wherever we were, everything was always bland

Wherever we go it will be wonderful

And we can hope as long as the engine is running

Always energised

Always on the road and always late everywhere

Get me out of here

Take me where something else is happening

Take me back and forth

Take me where something is still alive

Get me out of here

Take me where it's different from here

Always energised

Always on the road and always late everywhere

It takes us two hours to get to Oslo

And to Zurich two and a half at the most

And yet there is always something that was there before us

And something that's gone again

And something that makes us stick around

That threatens us, that betrays us

Always energised

Always on the road and always late everywhere
