Camera
Obscura
The last white man
pulling the trigger on the last emotion
Not if you care ...
Her soft eyes like
a splutter like the sun, a dancer
So clear, dancing,
dancing
Are you smart ...
Dancing
Not if you care for me
...
Dancing ... dancing
... dancing ... dancing ... dancing

When I wipe my
Dirty hands clean

Win
a Few
They
will give you what you need
They will run your life
They will get you where they want to
On the cross you'll die
Oh, what a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame
When
you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons ?
The
law has made it very clear
Save your breath for the next try
They will try you with fanatic threats
To make you sigh
Oh, what a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame
When
you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons ?
They
want your face for a magazine
They want my voice for their fears
I want the world's news to be
A different truth in different ears
What a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame
When
you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
They won't change the seasons

My
Funny Valentine
My
funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your
looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is
your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?
But
don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each
day is Valentine's Day.
Is
your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?
But
don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each
day is Valentine's Day.

Das
Lied vom einsamen Mädchen
Sie
herzte sanft ihr Spielzeug
Bevor sie es zerbrach
Und hatte eine Sehnsucht
Und wußte nicht wonach
Weil
sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Und wer von diesem Wein trank
Konnt' nie mehr gl¨¹cklich sein
Doch
einer sprach im Fr¨¹hling:
"Auch Du f¨¹hlst Lust und Schmerz"
Und brach ihr tausend Rosen
Doch sie brach nur sein Herz
Weil
sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Ja, keine konnt' so k¨¹ssen
Und doch so einsam sein
Was
blieb von ihrem Leben
Ein Lied, das niemand sang
Sankt Peter ließ sie warten
Zwei Ewigkeiten lang
Weil
sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Herz so tot wie Stein
Dann rief er: "Armes Kind, komm,
Sollst nie mehr einsam sein"
Translation
Tenderly
she cradled her toy
Before she smashed it up
A longing filled her heart
What for, she did not know
For
she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her mouth as red as wine
And whoever drank of this wine
Could never know happiness again
Yet,
someone spoke up in springtime:
You, too, know pleasure and pain."
He brought her a thousand roses
Yet she only broke up his heart
For
she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her mouth as red as wine
Yes, no one could kiss so
And still be so lonely
What
remained of her life
A song which no one sang
St. Peter kept her waiting
For ages
For
she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her heart as dead as stone
He called forth: "Come, poor child,
You shall never be lonely again."

Fearfully
in Danger
On
a dusty road you sit
Fearfully in danger
The intentions of my attitude
Have mastered the adventure
You'll
be placed in harmony
A degree of anger
You have landed painfully,
Fearfully in danger
In
a state of trance
You may come and dance
You may sing the void for me
Constantly
cold with fear
I know that I do not need you here
Does
it fit your fears
Does it suit your face
No,
you cannot grasp
The phase
Fearfully
in danger
Fearfully in danger

My
Heart Is Empty
"My
heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you"
A
man said that to me
That's how I know
Sometimes
love it does not show
Sometimes it does not even know
There is no witness to my anger
When it stabs until he dies
I am looking for the strangler
To help me, help me with my crime
Show
me the way to warning
Warning for the morning light
I will stab it with a knife
The blinding sun
The heartbeat for the time to come
The
honesty
That lies to you
My
heart is empty
But the songs I sing
Are filled with love for you

Into
the Arena
Bring
him into the arena
And let the lion win again
A triumph for the worst
Or for the better
Escaping
remains uncertain
Nemesis
unloaded kiss
A victim of his prophecies
Butwe do much believe
He may not wish all to see
The
dare
May be surrender

König
O
König, laß Dich leiten
Laß mich Dich begleiten
König, laß dich leiten
Laß mich dich begleiten
Auf
diesem weiten Strand
Ergreife meine Hand
Ich
will Dir alles geben
Das Dich am Leben hält
Ein Hoffen und ein Streben
Dein Blick bis in mein Zelt
Translation
O
King, let yourself be led
Let me escort you
O King, let yourself be led
Let me escort you
On
this wide shore
Take hold of my hand
I want to give you everything
That will keep you alive
Hoping and striving
Your peace is in my tent
