Das Gefühl

It sneaks up on me from behind again
And it asks me if it can help
It flatters me with plush and velvet and says
"Take a look at yourself"
The feeling is out of the box
And it looks so dazzling again
And life becomes a department store
I'll keep it on

Eternities come and go
I've tried them on more than once

Here too tight, there too strict
Somewhere it pinches me
Too quirky, not my style
The feeling doesn't suit me
I just look around
Just look around

The feeling creeps up on me again
Quietly asking me what I really want
And then it fools me in April
And says "Don't we have that!"
The feeling is like the latest trend
Hardly does it disappear and pass by
Then one laughs at it and thinks
"Oh, how foolish I was"

Eternities come and go
I've tried them on more than once

Here too tight, there too strict
Somewhere it pinches me
Too quirky, not my style
The feeling doesn't suit me
I just look around
Just look around

The feeling is out of the box
And it's already taking off my shoes
But life is not a department store
Because it doesn't take anything back...

Eternities come and go
I've tried them on more than once

Here too tight, there too strict
Somewhere it pinches me
Too quirky, not my style
The feeling doesn't suit me
I just look around
Just look around
