Im letschte Tram

On the last tram so late at night
Heading to the end station
Many have buried their dreams
And many feel they deserve more

The sky hangs between the rooftops
The moon looks like a lemon slice
In the old town, they still fill the cups
And the girls sharpen their heels

The widows climb up
And the young bachelors
They climb in, it's not so clear anymore
They quench their longing
Each in their favorite bar

For me, they are somehow heroes
They have so much in common with me
We all have nothing more to report
Especially not on the last tram

You can't worry
On the last tram
No one can get closer
On the last tram
You have to take it as it comes
On the last tram
In such a late hour

And Madonna hangs on the wall
She looks at me, but she doesn't see me
And Mona Lisa smiles for many
She hangs next to the bank statement
Driving past no entry signs and street signs
Past the advertisement for a snake oil
False promises and fake pictures
Promises of freedom, promises of fun

How can a person endure the world
When they have to see so much crap
But I won't dwell, I won't torment myself
Tired feet and aching head

I thought you would wait for me
I thought I fit into your plans
Then I caught you cuddling with someone in the garden
And now I'm on the last tram

I can't worry
On the last tram
No one can get closer
On the last tram
I don't know what's coming
On the last tram
In such a late hour

If you still want to see me
You know where I am
I'm on the tram
You can board
For example, at General Guisan Square
Or at the Military Garden
Or at the Shooter's Garden
Or at Victoria Square
Or at the Gallows Fountain
At the Gold Field
At the Cemetery
Or even at the Child Eater
And it passes
Why do all stops have such sweet names

On the last tram
On the last tram
Everything comes out
On the last tram
There are no more flower bouquets
On the last tram
No one brings you the goods
On the last tram
The shot is fired
On the last tram

You have to take it as it comes
On the last tram
In such a late hour
On the last tram
It's no longer white
With the last tram
It's the highest time
On the last tram
Then you know what lies within
On the last tram
