After the red dawn came the yellow of the day,
During the night we were bluer1 than the color itself
Now everything is monochrome
Humans are electric,
since you're gone I'm out of power
It is true, in the end only scars will remain
The pain grows and shrinks with the seasons
Someday I will step on the stretcher too
You are and always will be my big questionnaire
When you screamed at me to fuck off,
when I screamed at you "What’s the matter?",
when you threw the phone,
the phone, which then burst open on my temple in slow motion
When blood dripped from the crack on my forehead on the floor
I left, got hammered that evening
When we made love in the ruins of the laptop
Dispute is followed by love
Tears are followed by a feeling that makes sad and addicted at the same time
Your smell was my home
Your true lies, your different points of view,
your perspective, sharp blue glaring at me
Your birthmark on your left scapula
The things you said to me, which I endured
The things I said to you, which you forgave
The sleeping world of the night was our playground
When the evening light is shining in exactly this color,
then I see a hole in the air where you were standing
Can you hear me wherever you may be
Stay where you are, I'll catch up soon,
so wait for me
/x2
In the cocoon on the nightly Autobahn with speed 200
We are completely alone,
we are completely safe
The stripes of light are our only witnesses
Both thinking:"Fuck the world!"
Unified loneliness, two egomaniacs
Two who barely sleep, one melodrama
You have a weakness:
Your "little helper" who helped you and helped you until you weren't yourself anymore
When we first met, you were four years older
When we separated, eight and the city a few degrees colder
Snorted too much, to much to function somehow
Food for your ego, anabolic for your psychic ticks
You slipped me away
The curse of the black American Express
Death on installments, bought with your fathers money
I wanted to hold you, but I was too young, was too dumb,
was to proud
In our on way we both couldn't stand it anymore
When the evening light is shining in exactly this color,
then I see a hole in the air where you were standing
Can you hear me wherever you may be
Stay where you are, I'll catch up soon,
so wait for me
/x2
When my Phone rang with your number
I didn't pick up the first time,
but did finally at the third time while cursing
When someone on the line asked "Who are you?"
An acquaintance of your?
He said my number was the last one
that you called before the accident
When your father, whom I've never met, said:
Your car, bridge, multiple overturns,
split seconds, no break marks visible,
suicide, 10. of May, funeral Munich
Then a click, silence with ringing ears
Thats how I froze in my inner north2
How I screamed at myself, how everything contracted inside me,
how everyone is glaring at me with accusing eyes
I wrote this song countless times,
scrapped it as often, never the right words
This time as well it's just not perfect enough
I'm taking the last train in Tokyo through Shibuya
In the flickering neon light,
in the windows I can see you
I want to be wherever my girl is
My ice cold angel
How often I've tried to repress you at any cost
Your classic Tiffany silver necklace
Till today I sometimes see your silhouette
in crowds of people
There is a deep cut where you one have been
But something is there
There is not nothing
There is light there you were
A glow, a really dim one
I can see it, but no one else can.
If you're at the great feast,
save the best seats for us
Then we can talk about your last sentence
If you're up above, wait for me in the light
If you're down below wear the dress with the vent
The checks my mouth wrote were not covered
I have searched, but there is no one that can replace you
And of cause the two of us weren't always perfect
Too many fights, too much drama, to much sex
You were my new world, I explored you
If I ever meet you again, then I won't ever leave again
Then I won't ever leave again
Then I will never leave again
I will never leave again
Then I will never leave again
Never leave again
1. 'being blue' means being drunk in german2. Prinz Pi talks in other songs about the 'needle'(his penis) of his compass deflecting, because he is missing his 'north pole'. The line here describes how he lost this 'north pole', because in german the sentence can also be reas as 'Thats how my inner north pole froze'
