LYRICS (as performed at Frankfurt Batschkapp 20.11.86)

I don't believe in your good fortune

So your aftershave smells sweet

You are blessed with inner vision

But on your tongue is yesterday's dead meat

The face is the same

The voice is the same

But the person behind those eyes has changed

Dance with me big sister

Whirl me around again

When you throw me round through leapers

We might as well be friends

Torture that calling

The ending is near

With the one who fell

With the one who was brave

So dreamy in hell

It makes you rebel

But if you change your life

You'll throw me as well

Me as well, me as well

I don't believe in your good fortune

So your aftershave smells sweet

We are blessed with inner vision

But on your tongue is yesterday's dead meat

The face is the same

The voice is the same

But the person behind those eyes has changed

The face is the same

The voice is the same

But the person behind those eyes has changed

Dance with me big sister

Whirl me around again

Throw me round big sister

We might as well be friends

Some have life easy

And some have it hard

Some life is well fed

And some life is starved

My life is my life

So don't play with me

What goes on on the inside

Is something you'll never see
