[Verse 1]
I walked like an Egyptian, cried with doves
I was a voodoo childlike a rolling stone
In the spiny forest Mary sang for me
I died in your arms,Bochum '84
I never let the sun go down on me
In my wonderful world
[Chorus]
And I'm singing these songs
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And I'm standing in the purple rain
I wanna be a fire starter
Whitney will always love me
Und Michael won't leave me alone
[Verse 2]
I was welcome in the jungleand a stranger in my own country
My personal Jesusand totally insane in the brain
And I ask myself, when will I, will I be famous
Just like Rio, my king for eternity?
I had come to the end of the road
I was a loser, baby, but then
I held a cover in my hand
On it a monk that was in flames
Kurt Cobain tells me to come as I am
[Chorus]
And I'm singing these songs
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And I'm standing in the purple rain
I wanna be a fire starter
Whitney will always love me
Und Michael won't leave me alone
[Bridge]
I was one of five boys
"One Minute" done, it was over
I only sang for myself anymore, for an endlessly long time
Then I ran into her
And she reminded me
We were worlds apart
And from the same star
[Pre-Chorus]
I walked like an Egyptian, cried with doves
I was a voodoo childlike a rolling stone
In the spiny forest Mary sang for me
I died in your arms,Bochum '84
I never let the sun go down on me
In my wonderful world
[Chorus]
And now I'm singing these songs
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And I'm standing in the purple rain
I wanna be a fire starter
Whitney will always love me
Und Michael won't leave me alone
'Cause we're singing these songs
Dancing with tears in our eyes
Bowie was a hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And we're standing in the purple rain
We wanna be fire starters
Whitney will always love us
Und Michael won't leave us alone
