Nena
Sui Generis
Baby
I want to see your face
Shining like a black slave
Smiling eagerly.
Far, far from home,
I have no one to accompany me to see the morning,
Or give me the injection on time
Before my heart rots
Or warm these cold bones, baby.
I want to see you naked
The day the bodies parade
That have been saved, baby
On some highway
With endless billboards
Thanking us.
And I really want you to laugh
And say it's just a game
Or kill me at noon, baby.
Entering the room, flying low
The lark is already near your bed, baby.
I want to stay, don't say anything
Wait until the shadows are gone, baby.
Can't you see my blue cape,
My hair down to my shoulders,
The fatal light,
The avenging sword?
Can't you see how pale I am? Can't you see?
I want to slowly burn
The candles of the ships anchored
In icy seas, baby.
This winter was bad
And I think I forgot my shadow in a subway.
And your legs getting longer
Know that I can't go back
The city is laughing at us, baby.
