Heute Tanzen [English translation]

Tolstoy, Tolstoy can wait

Kafka's got all the time in the world

literature's important

but we're not living by the letter alone

now and then the level may drop lower, too

No use hiding behind books all your life

tomorrow I can smoothly go on reading

but for today I have to be dancing!

William Faulkner's wrinkling his brow

Bulgakov is planning devilry

this life we really must shape on our own

but good books will be helping us along

Tomorrow we'll give ourselves again to grace & all that's good

then again it'll be about the big picture

but tonight our ears shall bleed

tonight we're going dancing!

… and headbanging!

When you are walking in the moonlight with a unicorn

and you meet some elves, you shall not regret it

Schiller's written a lot about music

that's how you can spot his relevance, too

and as we love rhythmic movement as much as books

tonight we'll go out again dancing!

Read!
