lyrics

Frame set - in ihm die Kulisse
Licht an und Bühne frei
for good and bad, for heaven and hell
Where the make-up artist works hand in hand
with the expecting crowd
Screaming for giving attributes to subjects
Where dramaturgy and direction are standing
in their own ways - and myself in the brilliant spotlight
Right into my face is a mask, hiding everything behind
All die Schönheit, all die Zerbrechlichkeit
(Director:)
Please turn your head to the left and smile into the camera
Please turn your head to the right and smile into the camera
Please, would you take my commands seriously!
(Actor:)
Naked from now on, but I give a damn about your commands
It's all in our hands
And you will burn like Babylon burned
Wenn hinter der Mechanik des Films
die Wirklichkeit Einhalt gebieten muss,
verbirgt sich die Erotik doch gerade erst
in der Abweichung von der Vollendung
Der Vorhang fällt und alles was uns bleibt
Sind die tristen Kulissen eben jener Bühne
Sind Bäume aus Plastik und Emotionen aus Stein
das Traumschiff aus Pappe,
dein Lächeln,
ein gottverdammter Schrei!
Wir brauchen keine Helden
Wir brauchen keine Schurken
Wir brauchen Menschen!
Die Bühne gesprengt, der Baum gepflanzt
Und er ward nimmer mehr gesehen!

Somehow having stumbled upon sort of a parallel dimension (for lack of a better term), they set out like a travelling circus to show it to the world, and the few who cared to look saw it, too, and they remember to this day. ... more
