Do you know what it's like to be raped Like to be raped of passion? Do you know what it's like to be left Without a youth of your own? I'd like you to know That's why I go away Do you know what it's like to feel Like a child that's afraid of the sun? I'm a child, but your arms are too weak Your arms are too weak to hold me I'd like you to know That's why I go away

I'm sleeping in my boots again, I'm living off of cigarettes and words again There's tobacco on my lips again, the cinema shows pictures from inside again Try to forget all the world Try to forget that outside they are dreaming, too Well, I'm writing down all my thoughts, and then I feel alone and I walk out of the bar again The streets are cold, we stumble through the night, and then we wait for the bus again Try to forget all the world Try to forget that outside they are dreaming, too But there's nowhere to go, nowhere to stay We face the longest of all our days And the sun won't go down until we found the place But there's nowhere to go, nowhere to stay The sun shines through my window and wakes me up, sweat dried on my brows again I've been sleeping in my boots again, it's far too late to dream and dream of you again Try to remember all the world Try to remember that outside they are dreaming, too But there's nowhere to go, nowhere to stay We face the longest of all our days And the sun won't go down until we found the place But there's nowhere to go, nowhere to stay

You can call me, I won't be out tonight When I told you I'd be there for you I wasn't joking There's empty bottles all over the floor Grinning at me like I've made a mistake Did I mistake you? I told my friends that I wanted to stay at home And read a book, but I just stare at the phone The rooms are cold and the fridge is empty I think I will wait for another hour Then I'll probably go to bed The TV sings me a love song While I'm falling asleep The phone stays quiet It's getting late, the movies are over The soaps are, too, the heroes went to bed Somehow it's cold in here, maybe I'm just tired I'll have another beer and then I'll turn off the lights The TV sings me a love song While I'm falling asleep The TV sings me a love song The phone stays quiet

A deeper silence, white and blue as the water flows I think about you, and you in a land that nobody knows Oh can you hear me? Do you still sing our songs? It's not quite maybe, and candy on the tapes we made Dressed up in dreams was our favourite game to play You did me this favour You drank with me to the death of a clown You are still with us In all the songs that you played and smiles We hear that you're happy, so we're, too Not many letters, but out of sight ain't out of mind It's so much love, our blood kin, still alive We wish you were with us Are you still getting closer to fine? You are still with us In all the songs that you played and smiles We hear that you're happy, so we're, too

It is late in the evening Ginny is playing with the boys All the good friends are leaving Ginny hands me her toys I don't want to leave her Ginny is sweet and warm I always want to stay with her I don't want to go home Sirens scream through the evening Ginny got killed by the boys I got no one to believe in I broke all Ginny's toys Oh, no one will miss me Oh, when I have gone Ginny has always been with me Ginny has taken me home

Well

I woke up from sleep late this evening And the city seemed new to me All the good friends, they are leaving My smile has set them free I lit a cigarette in the moonlight My tears had dried on my cheeks Some are leaving for Berlin And some are leaving for Greece But the silence's still singing its songs for me I'm happy to hear you're so wild and so free And that you will never come back to me It's nice to be out here Remember the old man at the corner With his rags and his thumb in his mouth He's left for some place or other Since the lights have gone out I talked to him late one evening And asked him what I should do But he just couldn't answer For his eyes were pinned on you So I'll clean up my room and I throw it all away I guess this will take less than one day And I'll burn all the things that you left on your way To a place where everything's new It will be easy now that you've all gone If you got no choice there's nothing you can do wrong And if there is no war all the men can rest I guess I have found some peace Now I have time for all the letters That I promised to write since three years I can sleep all day, so please do not stay And please, my dear, shed no tears One thing: You know where to find me If you return some lucky day Maybe you won't recognize me But I'll be the one who always stayed So I'll open the door and I'll throw it all out Except for this one thing of which you're so proud I'll keep it, my darling, if you allow I'll keep your love

Sorry darling, there's not much I can say Just a question: Have you ever been fucked in this way? There's not much I can give, but with a little luck You ain't never had somebody better to fuck Oh and this is my sorrow, and this is my fear: If you had, then tomorrow you will not be here I ain't got no future, and I'm afraid this makes you sick of me I ain't got no hope, but I still have my dick We never talk, we just groan at night But if we ever tried to I believe that we'd fight Until somebody bleeds, and it won't be you So I fuck you again, there's nothing else I can do My darling Don't ever leave me, don't ever go You are the last one I have, don't you know You are the last one around here So please shut my mouth and fuck away my fear

And now I'm leaving your life Does it feel like there should be some apology Now all is wrong that was right I guess you could say it's lost some quality all in all There's just one way you can choose And some say that you either win or lose And I love the sweet smell of your hair But frankly, there wasn't much more there between us And I will leave with no trace Like you left no trace in the hearts that you conquered Like a girl without grace Like some idle machine you go on gossiping around yourself But I'm free to ride the wind To sing a song without being home at nine I'm free to talk aloud About politics, feelings and little queer smiles in the rain And now I'm leaving your life Does it feel like there should be some apology Now all is wrong that was right I guess you could say it's lost some quality all in all
