[Intro: German rap male MC, eerie music-box melody, a low machine hum] Sankt Agnes, Alter, twenty years gone dark One machine still hummin' in the back like a heart [Verse 1: German rap male MC, booming kick, menacing low bass, hard German flow] Halloween, digga, and the dare is on me Fence is cut behind the loadin' dock, I didn't need a key Down the hall where the gurneys sleep and the paint peels green Past the clocks that stopped at four on a ward nobody's seen Every kid in the old town knows the story by heart Feed the box a coin and it gives you back a missin' part Lena got her mother's ring, Tomas got his dog tag back Little Mia got a baby tooth inside a paper sack I said genau, that's a fairy tale, I ain't scared of a light But the coins were cold inside my fist and my jaw was tight [Hook: German rap male MC, full beat, chanted German hook] Exact change, drop it in the slot Gives you what you lost and it takes what you got Exact change, hear the coins go down Hummin' in the dark like the last light in town [Verse 2: German rap male MC, menacing low bass, eerie music-box melody] There it is at the end of the ward, the glass is glowin' white Rows of little metal coils and every slot is packed tight Not with chips and not with candy, Mensch, I lean in to see Every slot got somethin' in it that belonged to somebody Weddin' bands, a hearin' aid, a locket on a chain A pocket watch that's tickin' like it's callin' out my name Little sign down in the corner in a doctor's scratchy hand Exact change, it don't take bills, it's a rule you understand So I fed it what I had, every coin out of my coat Asked it for my nerve back and it hummed one low note [Hook: German rap male MC, full beat, chanted German hook] Exact change, drop it in the slot Gives you what you lost and it takes what you got Exact change, hear the coins go down Hummin' in the dark like the last light in town [Bridge: German rap male MC, coin spill, a pouring clatter of coins builds under every bar until the band slams back in] Krass, it starts countin', clink and clink and clink Every coin I fed it comin' back faster than I think Tray fills up and it's spillin' on the tile Then I see what's in my hand and I can't hold a smile Little white and shiny, rattlin' like dice Teeth, a whole handful, and they're cold as ice Run my tongue across my gums and the gums are bare It paid me back exact, every tooth I had in there [Final Hook: German rap male MC, full beat, hard German flow, the hum louder] Exact change, drop it in the slot Gives you what you lost and it takes what you got Exact change, hear the coins go down Hummin' in the dark like the last light in town [End]
