first I fell for you then I went with you thought I‘d stay with you ‚till the end of all time got a ring from you got that name of yours got child with you ‚till thea end of all time but than I ran from you if you‘d question why couldn‘t tell you still I‘m loving you and it feels like the end of the world but I remember the day when you asked me to come your way “to Vegas“ you‘ve said although “we could be happy without, just so“ ‚cause you said “this time‘s for real“ you said you were sure you want that I´ll be your wife you‘d even be jealous for the first time in life
but than you said you‘d be no longer my friend, you‘d be my enemy ! you said instead you‘ll be my enemy ! You give me them calls, real rude and mean my enemy, my enemy !! still I raise the child for you I want you to be proud of her and maybe a bit proud of me too my enemy ! my enemy ! and still I can‘t believe it‘s us…it‘s us still I cry for you sometimes I feel like I die over you got that name of yours tattooed right cross my heart now I let go of you I think I burned my soul -just a little- on you got a scar from you right cross my soul ‚till the end of all the time

when she woke up the other day she says I see the sun shine I spoke to her that that ain‘t true the sun is dark and blue the sun is dark and blue Dear the sun is dark and blue
when she woke up another night she said I see the stars sparkle I spoke to her it can not be the stars drowned in the sea the stars went down the ocean the stars drowned in the sea

scheen war mein Brautkleid wild war der Tanz das Haar umlegt von perlendem Mistelkranz scheen war die Nacht in Strähnen mein Haar die Frage hieß: kommst du? die Antwort war: ja! sag leuchtet er noch oder ist er am verglüh‘n Du schwankend, ich federnd und beide vor Glück wir fielen vorn über doch niemals zurück der Strauß am zerfallen die Blumen zerstreut doch schnell noch geworfen und niemals bereut sag leuchtet er noch oder ist er am verglüh‘n
wir stürmten das Haus voll Liebe und Wein die Gläser zerschlagen ich schrie: ich bin Dein
scheen war Dein Brautkleid wild war der Tanz Dein Haar umlegt von perlendem Mistelkranz
Du sangst scheenste Lieder und keins war für mich ich hielt es in Ehren Du liebtest, ich Dich
scheen war die Nacht in Strähnen Dein Haar die Frage hieß: kommst Du?
sag leuchtet er noch wie der Mond und die Sterne über Afrika
ich schwankend, Du federnd und beide vor Glück wir fielen vorn über doch niemals zurück
über die Schwelle gewankt Du hieltst mich trotz Sturz der Fall, er schien endlos der Aufprall, nur kurz
der Strauß am zerfallen die Blumen zerstreut doch schnell noch geworfen und niemals bereut
die Glieder, sie schmerzen die Rippe ist blau die Haut zerschunden Du Mann und ich Frau

uch mich nicht, such mich nicht * hab keine Geschichte, kein Gewissen, kein eignes Gesicht * Such mich nicht, such mich nicht * dreh Dich nicht um, zähl nicht bis zehn * dies ist kein Spiel mehr, laSS mich gehn * Such mich nicht, such mich nicht * will keinen Schlüssel, keine Zahlen * hab kein Gepäck und keinen Namen * Such mich nicht, such mich nicht * bin immermüde, muSS jetzt schlafen * mit dem Licht lösch ich aus, daSS wir uns jemals trafen. er Morgen: regnerisch und grau * Meine Augen: umnachtet in schwarz zu müde zu sehen * Das Gesicht: zugetüncht mit Farben die mir nicht gehören * Unerwartet: Deine Hände halten mein Gesicht und halten all dies Gewicht und waschen die ganze Farbe ab und alles wird klar * Klar wie der kalte graue Morgen

Eisblumen blüh‘n Eisblumen verweh‘n tu‘ Menschlein nicht hinterm Nordlicht hergeh‘n Es rieselt ganz leise Es funkelt so herrlich Und glitzert und blinkt Verlockend gefährlich Ein kleines Persönchen Zunext stolpernden Schritts Dann vorwitzig vorwärts ins Weiße es ritzt Mit Ins Sie Sie
Kufen wie Beilchen schimmernde Eis hacken und schaben reiben sich heiß
Es rast wie im Wahn Ein Donnern ein Krachen Unterm Eis winkt ein Schatten Verhallend Kinderlachen Erfrieren sagt man Sei als Tod ganz schee‘ Genau wie Ertrinken Und tut auch nicht weh
