My own fault, I’m shedding tears
and sighing pain
Drove in too deep
another’s lane

My aims were aimed by me
to choose myself
But now I’m in so deep
no outs left

Round and slippery banks
Surrounding me on my flanks

I curse those who laid out this path
Soon my patience will burst into wrath
Mouthing of like a student gone bad
On this lane, in this lane, lane that.

But why I feel so discontent
pompous am I
Conditions in this lane
are normalized

No one will hit or rub against
do not complain
And if you wish then go ahead
you’ve got a lane

Plenty of food and drink
Into this cozy lane I sink

Lively gotten myself to believe
Not alone in this lane I weave
Just like that, wheel for wheel
And we’ll all go wherever it will

But someone yelled as if insane:
"Hey let me be!"
Began to argue with the lane,
stupidly

And in the heat he burned his stock
of warmth of heart,
And then his engine overclocked
and fell apart.

But he managed to warp both sides
And the lane got that much more wide

Then he vanished without a trace
The fool’s dragged to the dithch in great haste
So he won’t interfere with us
Those behind him following un masse.

And now it seems my turn has come
the starter’s dead
This ain’t driving any more
grinding instead.

I should get outside and push
not enough speed
Perhaps someone will save my tush
and pull me free...

But I am waiting here in vain
This is, of course, another’s lane

Oh I wish I could spit mud and clay
This lane ain’t mine anyway
Since I deepend it all by myself
Those behind have no hopes left

Then struck by piercing cold sweat
down to the bone
And I have moved a little bit
the side alone

And look this flank’s been washed away
by Springtime creeks
There is an exit from this lane
I am saved, I am free!

Under my tires I sling dirt
Into the lane from which I swearved.

You behind me do as I do
Which means don’t follow me
This lane is for me - not for you
Find a way that’s for you - not for me
