Frontperson - Ostalgie (Für C. Bischoff) lyrics

I forgot why we came (all night on the train)
Why we’d stopped and why we stayed
(full stop, drop the page)
Germany, by the Spree (My friend, now I see)
A useless thought, an awful way (my God)

An acrobat falls to me (and fails to see)
But tumbles off, not to remain (my love, oh)
Although I tried I couldn’t stay
(I want you please)
It’s not the time, it’s not the place
(it’s all wrong)

I saw i take
Thick fog in everybody’s faces no talk
Just games rules gone
You’ll have to find your own way
Cuz that’s just how it’s played
You sell your wares, I trade my name
(in the fall, I’ll wait)
It doesn’t stop, it never change
(How long will it take?)
Germany down the way (I forgot this place)
Grandfather clocks and shoulder blades
(so long)

A tattooed cross below the knee
(I saw you leave) broken ribs and pottery
(My love, what’s the need?)
In cardboard boxes locked away
(I want relief)
All our words start to fade (and I’m lost)

I saw i take
Thick fog in everybody’s faces no talk
Just games rules gone
You’ll have to find your own way
Cuz that’s just how it’s played

I’ll go you’ll stay
Off the map where nobody can find me

You’ll know i’ve paid
Off the map where everybody’s waiting
I’ll go you’ll stay
Off the map where nobody can find me

You’ll know i’ve paid
Off the map where everybody’s waiting

I’ll go you’ll stay
Off the map where nobody can find me

You’ll know i’ve paid
Off the map where everybody’s waiting
