Try To Be Mensch lyrics

You had to get rid of your cat
As you said because of lack of food
You ain't got even money for that
You must be in a very strange mood

You fucked up your life
You fucked up your life
Your life is a mess
And I wonder why
You sit there and amile
Why do you smile?

Why did you show me your flat?
To think of it gives me the creeps
It's as dark as an asshole by night

Going with a stranger is a dangerous thing
For a pretty little girl of sixteen years like you
So keep your eyes open when they buy you a drink
'Cause drinking with a stranger is a dangerous thing

This town is full of young girls who didn't see the danger
Of going with a stranger in the night
They lost their virginity from fear of being killed

Springtime on the backseat of a small car
It's their first time, they are childhood sweethearts
They are working hard to get it done
Afterwards he cannot find his shoes
But never mind as long as I love you
And as long as you love me, too.

Wedding rings and five children
And a flat on the l6th floor of a new building
Daddy takes his youngest on his knees, look:

He wakes up in the morning with the sound of the rain
And a lot of misgivings like needles in his brain
He tries to remember what happened last night
But he has a misty mind and he cannot stand the light

He feels like a soldier lying shot up in a ditch
He is all alone and wonders: Where is that bitch?
He gets up and tries the kitchen, she is not there

She don't know what to think of that
Finds herself in an empty flat
He's gone away

Was there anything wrong she's done?
She don't know, just another one.
Who's gone away

Too much love, that's what he said, too much love, he can't stand that
Too much love, she drives him mad, too much love, that's what he said
He's gone

His letter says: "I miss you so

I'm out on the street, I stroll about town, and I don't know why
I find myself watching the ducks in this lake, and I don't know why
I don't wanna see you, I'm not in the mood, and I don't wanna talk to you either
I ain't got no food for the ducks and I ain't got no idea what to do

I'm just feeling so nervous and blue

I saw you with a gun last night,
who did you wanna shoot
There is no one to hate, there is no one to adore
There is no one in charge
of the state of this world
There's no god anymore

You are such a bore
You're behind the times
You play yesterday's game
You are looking for someone to blame
For the boredom in your little world
For the misery of love,
for the match selling girl

We are going under now
This is a rusty pail anyhow
Better save your soul
There's no port of call

My friend is under deck
She don't bother to notice that
So many nice guys there, and:
"Don't you touch my hair!"

There's a leak in the ship but she don't care.

I say: "Sweetheart mine!
You at least should come with me it's high time!
She says: "Have a beer!" and:

There was no stranger pacing behind me
When I came out of the movies deep in the night
And no Mack-the-knife was waiting 'round the corner, in the dark
No one asked me for money, no one made a remark
It was a warm and velvet midnight
I whistled my favorite song
The street lay blue in the moonlight
But I couldn't help feeling
That something was wrong

This is the last dance
This is the last dance
This is the last dance
So twist and shout
This is the last dance
This is the last dance
The bouncer is waiting
For you to cut out

It's the last chance for you, little teeny-vamps
To stumble around in high-heeled shoes
The last one to show that you're grown up and free
Then go home, Mom and Daddy are angry with you

When the dark clouds of sadness
Come down over you
When you wanna burst into tears
When your nightmares come true
When there's no friend in sight
Who's got time to spare
And someone should dry your eyes
Then I will be there

You shouldn't be lonely, sister
When you feel blue
Just give me a phone call, sister
And I'll cry with you
I'm your younger brother - only -
