SEHNSUCHT

(HUNGER)


Let me ride out on a tear
Past your chin to Africa
Once more to the she-lion's den
Where I was at home back then
In between your tender long legs
Searching snow from just last year
Never does the snow appear

Let me ride out on a tear
In the clouds there is no bliss
A big bird gently slides his head
Back into a secret crevice
Inbetween your tender long legs
Searching sand from just last year
Never does the sand appear

Hunger connects
Just like an insect
Asleep you never sense
Right as it bites
Nowhere can it be good so
The finger slips to Mexico
Then down it sinks into the sea
Hunger has no mercy



ENGEL

(ANGEL)


Whoever is good on earth in their life
Will be an angel after death
In looking heavenward you ask yourself
Why you can't see them

"First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and lonely"

God knows I don't want to be an angel

They live behind the sunshine
Separated infinitely far away
They have to clutch at the stars
So that they don't fall from the sky

"First when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and lonely"

God knows I don't want to be an angel




TIER

(BEAST)


What is a man
What is a man
Who's between man and beast?
Can't seperate the man
What

He will go to his daughter so late
She is young and she's such sweet bait
Just as if he were a dog
With his own flesh and blood he will mate

What do you
Feel in you?
What are you?
You are a beast!

What is woman
What is woman
In between beast and man?
Can't seperate the man

She dips the feather in his blood
Writes herself so many lines
A lifeless letter from her childhood
As her father slept by her side

What do you
Feel in you?
What are you?
You are a beast!



BESTRAFE MICH

(PUNISH ME)


Punish me
Punish me
Straw is gold
And gold is stone
Your greatness makes me small
You may be my punisher
ja

The lord does give
The lord does take

Punish me
Punish me
You say yes
And I say no
Include me in your prayers
Before the wind gets any colder

Your greatness makes me small
You may be my punisher
Your greatness makes him small
You'll be my punishment
The lord god takes
The lord god gives
But he only gives to those
Who he also loves
Punish me




DU HAST

(YOU HAVE)


You
You have
You have me

You
You have
You have me

You asked me
You asked me
You asked me
And I did not answer

Do you want until death divides you
To be true to her forever

Never

Do you want until the death of her slit
To also love her in bad days

Never



BÜCK DICH

(BEND DOWN)


Bend down I order you
Turning your face back from me too
I don't need to see it now
Bend down

A biped who is on all fours
I'll lead him down on the floor
In quick-step we move along
I'm so displeased
Now crawling backwards to meet me
Honey stains his tights so badly
I'm so displeased, Sadly displeased

Bend down

I've no interest in the rest

The biped stuttered a short prayer
In fear of what I couldn't bear
Tried to bend down more and more
Tears we're running off to the floor

Bend down

Bend down I order you
Turning your face back from me too
I don't need to see it now
Bend down, you know how

Bend down



SPIEL MIT MIR

(PLAY WITH ME)


We share a room and the bed
Brother dear please go right ahead
Brother dear come touch me here
Slide to me so close and near

By the bed a big black hole
In they jump all the sheep
Much too old but I count them still
But I cannot fall asleep

Past my navel in the bush
Waiting there white fantasies
Brother dear come hold me tight
And shake for me leaves from the trees

Play a game with me
Give me your hand and

Play with me - A game
Play with me - A game
Play with me - Cause we´re alone now
Play with me - A game
Father mother child

My brother dear hand in pain
He rolls back over once again
My brother helps me now and then
So that I may sleep again

Play a game with me
Give me your hand and

Play with me - A game
Play with me - A game
Play with me - Cause we´re alone now
Play with me - A game
Father mother child



KLAVIER

(PIANO)


They say to me
Open this door
Curiosity screams
Whatever could it be
Back behind that door
A piano
The keys are all dusty
The strings are all untuned
Back behind that door
At the piano
But she plays no more
It is so long ago

On the piano
She's who I hear
She began to play
She took my breath away

She said to me too
That I'll stay with you
But it just seemed to be
She played alone for me
I poured her blood
In the fire of my rage
I locked up her shrine
They questioned in time

At the piano
She's who I hear
She began to play
She took my breath away
At the piano
I stand by her
But it just seemed to be
She played alone for me

They opened up the door
And how they cried
i heard her mother plea
Her father struck out at me
They tore her from her chair
No one believed me there
I was so insane
With the stench and the pain

At the piano
She's who I hear
She began to play
She took my breath away

At the piano
She's who I hear
As I began to play
I took her breath away



ALTER MANN

(THE OLD MAN)


He's waiting for the midday wind
And waves spread out so dull and slack
And with a hand fan every day
The old man smooths the water back

I cast a stone in just for fun
The water rings moved on the plane
So sadly stood the old man by
And swept the water flat again

In white sand the old man sat
Trembling as he smoked his pipe
Just the water and I know that
The fan is of a special type

Awareness sleeps volcano dreams
Reluctant I asked him why
His head hung low as if he slept
And the he said before he died

The water will be your only mirror
First when it's like glass can you see
How many fairytales you have left
For your deliverance you will plead

The fan was pressed to his breast
Just as death's grip seized up his hand
His fingers must have been so tight
The fan remained back in the sand

I call the old man every day
Should he come and deliver me
I stay here with the midday wind
And in the fan it is plain to read

The water will



EIFERSUCHT

(JEALOUSY)


Am I pretty
Then cut me in the face
Am I stronger
Break my neck in disgrace
Am I smarter
Kill me and eat my brain
I take your wife
Kill me and eat me all up
Just eat me all up

Am I honest
Then bite my tongue right off
Am I richer
Then take it all
Am I braver
Kill me and eat my heart
I take your wife
Kill me and eat me all up
Just eat me all up
And lick the table clean

We're cooking jealousy

Have I such tender skin
Tear it out in stripes
Have I the clearest eyes
Steal all the light
Have I the purest soul
Burn it in the flames
I take your wife then
Kill me and eat me all up
Just eat me all up

And lick the table clean

We're cooking jealousy



KÜß MICH [FELLFROSCH]

(KISS ME [FURRY FROG])


She keeps very still
To be fingered is all she will
Swelling in the dried out grass
Her misty eyes fill up fast

She's captured and can't breakaway
Never sees the light of the day
With lustful shivers as she pleads
The tongues of men to serve her needs

Kiss me

She bites in every tongue so tight
To be licked is what she likes
But as it leaves a bitter taste
She is seldom just embraced

She's captured

Kiss me

The tongue slides out from the mouth
And slaps her wild in ecstasy
Hard and long right up front
She bleeds so badly from her snout

She's captured

Kiss me
on my moistened lips
Kiss me
With it's bitter taste
Kiss me
