The lyrics of my life are thus...

I am vacillating between
"if I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed; say something once, why say it again?"
and
"nothing to do, nowhere to go-ohh"

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

every day I walk alone,
and pray that God won't see me,
I know it's wrong,
I know it's wrong

I just want to have something to do
Tonight, tonight, tonight,tonight,tonight,tonight
Well allright.
Tonight, tonight, tonight,tonight,tonight,tonight
Wait-Now
Wait-Now
Hanging out all by myself
Cause I don't want to be with anybody else

Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet
Mister, show me the way to earth
The boys of Quadrant 44 with their vicious metal hounds
Never come around here no more

Go Goethe: "everything worth saying has already been said; one only has to do it again" (straight from memory so no actual quote;) and off course, he was referring to the classics of antiquity but then got around to say his say anyway, worthwhile or not, didn´t he, now? (He could also be extremely boring as proven in Meister Wilhelm´s Lehrjahre but then did Mephistopheles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethe%27s_Faust who can only be described as a dude with a dark sense of humour who coined more than one memorable line.

Prose rather than lyrics of course except for The King of Thule and Goethe´s infamous toilet wall lyrics http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/get_text.html?TextId=6568 and this gentleman gave it a try in engrish: http://johnirons.blogspot.fr/2010/10/collage-of-english-translations-of.html It´s all about Blake space, really, isn´t it? "To be a grain in a world of sand and wild heaven in a flower" as I once paraphrased it in my SF-fanzine.
