Here I am

Not quite dying

My body left to rot in a hollow tree

Its branches throwing shadows

On the gallows for me

And the next day…and the next…and another day

You've got to learn to hold your tongue

They said the moon was his burning son

When the sun goes down and the die is cast

When the die is cast and you have no choice

We will run with Dirty Boys...

Say goodbye to the thrills of life
Where love was good, no love was bad
Wave goodbye to the life without pain
Say hello. You're a beautiful girl

Had to get the train, From Potsdamer Platz,You never knew that I could do that, Just walking the dead. Sitting in the Dschungel, On Nürnberger Strasse…A man lost in time near KaDeWe, Just walking the dead… Where are we now?

It’s in his scrawny hand
It’s in his icy heart
It’s happening today
Valentine Valentine 

If you can see me I can see you
I have seen these bairns wave their fists at God

Swear to destroy the beasts, stamping the ground

In their excitement for tomorrow…

I'd rather be high
I'd rather be flying
I'd rather be dead
Or out of my head

You look at me and you reach for the free blue sky
I look to the stars as they flicker and float in your eyes
And under these wings of steel the small town dies
Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed
That a small town girl likeyou
Would be the boss of me

Something like religion...Dancing face to face...Something like a drowning...Dancing out in space...No-one here can see you...Dancing face to face...No-one here can beat you...Dancing face to face

I gaze in defeat
At the stars in the night
The light in my life burnt away
There will be no tomorrow
Then you sigh in your sleep
And meaning returns with the day
Where do the boys lie
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood

Midnight in the Village
Seeger lights the candles
From Bitter End to Gaslight
Baez leaves the stage
Ochs takes notes
When the black girl and guitar
Burn together hot in rage
You've got what it takes
You say too much
Oh you will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire

Walls have got you cornered,You’ve got the blues my friend, And people don’t like you, But you will leave without a sound, without an end, Oblivion shall own you, Death alone shall love you, I hope you feel so lonely, You could die.

My father ran the prison,
I can only love you by hating him more,
That’s not the truth…And I tell myself
I don’t know who I am,
But I am a seer, I am a liar…
