Lieder [English translation]

I walked like an Egyptian

I cried with doves

I was a voodoo child

Like a rolling stone

In the forest of thorns, Mary sang for me

I died in your arms, Bochum '84

I never let the sun go down

In my wonderful world

[Refrain]

And I sing these songs

Dance with tears in my eyes

Bowie was my hero for a day

And EMF can't believe it

And I stand in purple rain

I want to be a firestarter

Whitney will always love me

And Michael won't leave me alone

[Verse 2]

I was welcome in the jungle

And a stranger in my own country

My personal Jesus

And insane in the brain

And I ask myself, when

Will I, will I be famous

Like Rio, my eternal king

I reached the end of the road

I was a loser, baby, but then

I held a cover in my hand

And on it was a flaming monk

Kurt Cobain told me that I should come as I am

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]

I was one of five boys

After "One Minute", it was over

I sang for no one but myself for an eternally long time

Then I met her

And she reminded me

We were worlds apart

And yet from the same star

[Bridge]

I walked like an Egyptian

I cried with doves

I was a voodoo child

Like a rolling stone

I never let the sun go down

In my wonderful world

[Refrain]

And now I sing my songs

Dance with tears in my eyes

Bowie was my hero for a day

And EMF can't believe it

And I stand in purple rain

I want to be a firestarter

Whitney will always love me

And Michael won't leave us alone

[Refrain]

Because we sing these songs

We dance with tears in our eyes

Bowie was a hero for a day

And EMF can't believe it

And we stand in purple rain

We want to be fire starters

Whitney will always love us

And Michael won't leave us alone
