Really Love That Nursery Rhyme

http://www.fln.vcu.edu/struwwel/pauline_dual.html

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

BloodDrunk

They say drinking is a way to die
But at the end... Dying is a way to drink

Unquenchable thirst burns you inside
The ruins of already burnt out mind
Inexhaustable craving for something
You're already crying

Degenerate drunk with a razor blade
Strung out spilling your own blood
Exterminate scars already made
Ready for another drink, can you wait?

Detoxing, here come the withdrawals
Maybe you've gone too far
Deep within things are getting hot
Can't deny, take another shot

Blooddrunk

Wasted again
All the pain inside will fade
Blooddrunk

You call me insane
Degenerate bloodrunk with a razor blade

Degenerate drunk with a razor blade
Strung out spilling your own blood
Exterminate scars already made
Ready for another drink, can you wait?

Blooddrunk

Wasted again
All the pain inside will fade
Blooddrunk

You call me insane
Degenerate bloodrunk with a razor blade

Roter Sand

One love, one promise

Said I would come back to you

well, I must sadly break it

His bullet is stuck in me

One love, two guns

One points into my face

He says I stole you

He doesn't know

That you love me

Red Sand and two rounds

One dies in a kiss of gunpowder

The second shall not spare its target

Now is stuck deeply in my chest

One love, one promise

Oh the blood runs from the mouth

And no one will avenge

Senselessly I perish

One love, two guns

One could draw faster

Well, it was not me

Now you belong to him

Red Sand and two rounds

One died in a kiss of gunpowder

The second which didn't spare its target

Now is stuck deeply in my chest

Red Sand and doves

Refresh themselves on my blood

At the end there is but an end

I am good for something finally

Red Sand and two rounds

One dies in a kiss of gunpowder

The second which didn't spare its target

Now is stuck deeply in my chest

Ich werde immer bei dir sein

Klavier

They tell me
unlock this door
curiosity becomes a scream
what could be behind it
behind this door
stands a piano
the keys are dusty
the strings are out of tune
behind this door
she sits at the piano
but she doesn't play anymore
oh, that was so long ago

There, at the piano
I listened to her
and when her performance began
I held my breath

She said to me
I'll always stay with you
but it only seemed
that she played for me alone
I poured her blood
into the fire of my rage
I locked the door
they asked for her

There, at the piano
I listened to her
and when her performance began
I held my breath
There, at the piano
I stood beside her
it seemed
she played for me alone

The door is open
oh, how they scream
I hear mother pleading
father is beating me
they take her from the piano
and no one believes me here
that I am deathly ill
from sorrow and the stench

There, at the piano
I listened to her
and when her performance began
I held my breath
There, at the piano
she listened to me
and when my performance began
she held her breath

And the shark, it has tears

And they run down from its face

But the shark lives in the water

so no one sees the tears

In the depths it is so lonely

And so many a tear is shed

And that is why the water

in the sea is salty
