Geisterstadt English translation
von Clueso

Lost in big streets
Where life once raged
Stand signs without names like
A fragrance without a note
Cranes protrude from ditches
A flag is waving up there
And beckons from golden times
When someone else lived here
Under the manhole covers
Evaporates a little life
The rest stay locked up like
wishes from this area
Skyscrapers hang in the sky
As rigid, thick threads
dirt under my feet
Disappears with life


I do not know where I am
Run through the streets
What has been here?
The ghost town begins
Here deep in the east
where is all life

Some empty apartments hidden
Behind a little curtain
The door is still open here
Like someone's coming right back
No window smashed
Everything so intact
A bench with incised
sayings in a heart
And at the bus stop
The timetable has long since faded
Endless parking spaces
The big clock stands still
On a billboard:
"Cheap would be stolen"
I believe in this life
There's nothing more to get here


I do not know where I am
Run through the streets
What has been here?
The ghost town begins
Here deep in the east
where is all life

I do not know where I am
Run through the streets
What has been here?
The ghost town begins
Here deep in the east

Here deep in the east
Here deep in the east
Here deep in the east
