KAFVKA - Am Tag als Rio Reiser starb (English Translation) Lyrics[Verse 1]
Let me taste blood once and I'll stay away
I'll never come back, I'll write the kids a check
And to all those I owe something to, don't call me again
I don't answer anymore, throw the phones away
[Pre-Chorus]
But when someone asks you
Say that I was always there for you -
Until I was no longer there
One last dumb joke
[Chorus]
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for my dreams
But I don't find any sleep
[Verse 2]
Endless days without a day off
I've never known love, but I'm screaming for you
You are bringing me to the edges of myself
Though the world would be so empty without you
Endless days without a day off
I've never known love, but I'm screaming for you
You are bringing me to the edges of myself
Though the world would be so empty without you
[Post-Chorus]
On the day Rio Reiser died
You weren't there yet
Not even suspected
On the day Rio Reiser died
Everything was already said
[B Part]
And we sing his songs together
Hold onto our love and then
Scream "No power to nobody" so long
Until we are so hoarse, that we sound like
Rio Reiser when he was drunk
With a little imagination
When he was unbelievably far away from us for the hundredth time
The world so unthankful
The pain so incurable
Talent so wonderful
Society is unfortunately hostile for a gay man
[Pre-Chorus]
But when someone asks you
Say that I was always there for you -
Until I was no longer there
One last dumb joke
But when someone asks you
Say that I was always there for you -
Until I was no longer there
One last dumb joke
[Chorus]
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for his dreams
But I don't find any sleep
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for his dreams
But I don't find any sleep
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for my dreams
But I don't find any sleep
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for my dreams
[Post-Chorus]
On the day Rio Reiser died
You weren't there yet
Not even suspected
On the day Rio Reiser died
Everything was already said
[B-Part]
And we sing his songs together
Hold onto our love and then
Scream "No power to nobody" so long
Until we are so hoarse, that we sound like
Rio Reiser with a little imagination
And we sing his songs together
Hold onto our love and then
Scream "No power to nobody" so long
Until we are so hoarse, that we sound like
Rio Reiser with a little imagination
[Pre-Chorus]
But when someone asks you
Say that I was always there for you -
Until I was no longer there
One last dumb joke, yeah
But when someone asks you
Say that I was always there for you -
Until I was no longer there
One last dumb joke
[Chorus]
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for his dreams
But I don't find any sleep
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for his dreams
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for my dreams
But I don't find any sleep
Eyes blink tiredly
Shoulders twitch violently
I'm searching for my dreams
[Post-Chorus]
On the day Rio Reiser died
You weren't there yet
Not even suspected
On the day Rio Reiser died
Everything was already said
