Lieder

I walked like an Egyptian
Cried with doves
Was a voodoo child
Like a rolling stone
In the thorn forest, Maria sang for me
I died in your arms, Bochum '84
I never let the sun go down
In my wonderful world

And I sing these songs
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And I stand in the purple rain
I want to be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me
And Michael won't leave me alone

I was welcome in the jungle
And a stranger in my own country
My personal Jesus
And totally crazy in the brain
And I wonder, when
Will I, will I be famous
Like Rio, my king for eternity
I had reached the end of the road
Was a loser, baby, but then
I held a cover in my hand
On it a monk standing in flames
Kurt Cobain told me to come as I am

I was one of five boys
One minute out, then it was over
I only sang for myself, for an endlessly long time
Then I met her
And she reminded me
We were worlds apart
Yet from the same star

I walked like an Egyptian
Cried with doves
Was a voodoo child
Like a rolling stone
I never let the sun go down
In my wonderful world

And now I sing my songs
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And I stand in the purple rain
I want to be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me
And Michael won't leave us alone

Because we sing these songs
Dancing with tears in our eyes
Bowie was a hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And we stand in the purple rain
We want to be firestarters
Whitney will always love us
And Michael won't leave us alone
