Life and a Lover

Lyrics

He´s been wounded by love
And she hurt others too
Knows the paradise-birds
And the vultures of lust
So he grew…
So she grew…

Can´t you go for a walk
Without meeting an archduke
Who presents you a toad
In the form of an emerald?
Who forgives you and utters
A wedding proposal?
Can´t you live on your own?
Polymorphic and free?
En voyage – in adventures
A mismash is your head
Meeting point of delusions
Battlefield of two sexes
So what?

What the hell?
Why decide?
Life and a lover
So she cried
Why glue together?
Is this nature´s will?
Why firm me up?
I´m evolving still!

Can´t you jump to your feet
Tear down satin and pearls
Snatch your trousers and boots
Ride a horse or a jeep
Don´t you know it´s a fact
That clothes change the way
How we look at the world
And the world looks on us?
Superficial, you say?
Symbols of something hidden!
Clothes just keep up the surface
Of a secret, forbidden…
So what?

What the hell?
Why decide?
Life and a lover
So she cried
Why glue together?
Is this nature´s will?
Why firm me up?
I´m evolving still!
