Die letzte Ex [English translation]

You are the pure unreasonableness, live in Villa Kunterbunt 1.

You used to be a good girl, I used to be Underground.

You have once been the Queen of Kreuzberg in your blue dress,

with grandma's old pearl necklace and your grey Nikes.

We were sitting in the dark, staring in the light- for hours.

Downfall, we were talking about nothing, silence is gold, our kisses were platinum.

I have waited all years only for you!

But why are you saying break, when you mean end?

I thought you were my lifelong Plus One!

Why am I talking about marriage, you about freedom?

As if these were two contradicting lifestyles!

When everything presses on me, when there's no resort

the only thing I want is to go back to Bonny's Ranch!

The last Ex is the existence, I want to go back again,

back to Bonny's Ranch. My battery is going out,

my credit is spent, the old gates are opening

Welcome back home

My battery is going out, my credit is spent, the old gates are opening

Welcome back home

It's night again, I'm always awake.

The city is silent, only in my head there's a big noise

Love - hatred, sleep so close to each other

I was your mirror, you were the rock, which is breaking me!

The world screwed me up, like a white piece of paper.

Now I'm so blank, like the walls of my city.

When I jump, then just to land never again.

When I drive my car then I think of James Dean in "Giganten".

When everything presses on me, when there's no resort

the only thing I want is to go back to Bonny's Ranch!

The last Ex is the existence, I want to go back again,

back to Bonny's Ranch. My battery is going out,

my credit is spent, the old gates are opening

Welcome back home

My battery is going out, my credit is spent, the old gates are opening

Welcome back home

The wide, silent park, with boulevards of old trees,

leafs whisper endless echos, of trailed away dreams.

Everyone on his own, nobody's here, who's crossing my gazes.

Yet nobody is here, who disappoints me

Just sitting here, seeing how the light fades

we're projectiong us on the others - advertising columns.

The clocks are working, the hands of a watch are circling

Birth A, death B - we're living still brashly

No fame and no fans, no prominence, here you're just a human -

Welcome to Bonny's Ranch

Nobody's breaking up, no laws are there to restrain us, nobody's a stranger - here in Bonny's Ranch

My battery is going out,

my credit is spent, the old gates are opening

Welcome back home

My battery is going out, my credit is spent, the old gates are opening

Welcome back home
