Cruel is the shark
and cruel you were, too
At the end of the rainbow
the rain is getting harder
and floods in exuberance
just behind the train crossing
the street with empty bottles, stones and mud
And I walk along Kurfürstendamm one more time
Unfaithful is the sun
and unfaithful were you, too
With the purchase of a new life
you get a cigarette for free
I smoke it on the way home
so nobody gets bothered and secretly
I put your picture in a bin on fire with it
And then I walk along Kurfürstendamm one more time
On the first sunday after doomsday
Beautiful was life
Bad was the world
Good was the love
Bad the money
Vicious the dog and dear was the horse
But today it is the other way round
At the Kurfürstendamm
On the first sunday after doomsday
Up is where you are
and down is where I
wait in rubber boots for
the sky revolving around itself
every few hours
and for the passing of the time somehow
that one needs to grasp that one is still alive
And then I walk along Kurfürstendamm one more time
On the first sunday after doomsday
