lyrics

i truly wish you all the best,
so why don´t you give it a rest,
because you can´t hurt me anymore

i killed you in my dreams,
in thirteen juicy ways,
now you can´t hurt me anymore

listen to me darling, i will not let you down
i´ll meet you in the end by the gates of marble town
don´t you know that bitterness is a companion from hell
and i intend to live to tell

now there´s nothing left for us to share,
neither happiness, nor dark despair,
and you can´t fool me anymore

keep your hollow grin of satisfaction,
until the day of ressurection,
because you can´t fool me anymore

now i´m appetite alone,
to the earth and to the stone,
and you can´t touch me anymore

you see, i got coal and iron in my veins,
and i can´t feel no more pains,
and you can´t touch me anymore

so listen to me darling, i will not let you down,
i´ll meet you in the end, by the gates of marble town,
and where there is no doubt, there you will find no truth,
so won´t you listen to my blues

about

The Sunmoth Giessen, Germany

The Nymph only could repeat, the Beloved were transfixed on their reflection. Quite tragic really - quite funny, too.
Krautrock, Americana - who cares: all of it is music.
