Mr. Kraut's jinx was an Egyptian sphinx

It happened during the holiday to the Valley of Kings

He got hypnotised like Peter Pan by the moon

The strength of a smell made him quite dizzy soon

And suddenly there were cobwebs all over

And suddenly there were cobwebs all over



And thoughts of forgotten riddles returned

It was like Fata Morganas that weren't

When saucers seemed to carry him up to the sky

Mr. Kraut, surprised, choked in a soundless cry

Considering those imaginations

Considering those imaginations



And the pictures in his eyes began to swim

When the extraterrestrials whispered to him

Now he knew the strangers were there for real

He wasn't dreaming 'cause he still could feel

When he pinched himself as a precaution

When he pinched himself as a precaution



And he thought by himself

Wherever I stay

Whatever I think

Whatever I say

Whatever I mean

Whatever I dream

I'm betrayed and sold

I am controlled

What will be there

What will be there tomorrow

What will be there

What will be there tomorrow



He was flying high for one night and one day

He knew he was already light years away

He was still disturbed and rather blind

What kind of new world was he going to find

But he felt they soon would be landing

But he felt they soon would be landing



And shapes of shadows were drifting by

He felt like an animal, scared and shy

The invisible ship by whoever it was steered

Landed softly but immediately disappeared

What the hell were they going to do with him?

What the hell were they going to do with him?



Somehow he was glad, but he was taken instead

They carried him away for another night and day

And after a while the darkness disappeared

It was the moment of arrival he feared

'Cause he knew the journey was now all over

'Cause he knew the journey was now all over



The enlightenment was shocking

He was put into a zoo

Plenty of beasts there

And no way out of there too

He was to be imprisoned

For the rest of his life 

And all the loneliness

Without a wife

What a damned, what a damned damned damned future

What a damned, damned damned future



While he was pondering about his bad, bad luck

About the hopeless situation he was stuck in

The door opened a little and they thrust somebody in

He stumbled over there to find out what it means



What a gas when he looked there down to the ground

It was a beautiful girl that he had found

He took her tenderly by the arm

And said to her, don't feel no harm

Don't bother to worry, everything is okay

'Cause future ain't tomorrow

Future is today

'Cause future ain't tomorrow

Future is today

'Cause future ain't tomorrow

Future is today

'Cause future ain't tomorrow

Future is today

Future ain't tomorrow

Future is today
