Laura [English translation]

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'
