Voruss English translation
von Patent Ochsner

Onwards


Alka-Seltzer for breakfast
We take our medicine on time
Outside the tabloids are mercilessly
Screaming headlines into the day
Ladies are hanging on the billboards
The happiness in their eyes
Still doesn't hide the fact
That for them, water
Boils at 60 degrees
Where are you tonight
I haven't seen you for a long time
My head is heavy and my heart hurts
Give me one more chance
If there is one more left
Come back or take me with you
At the train stations we're showing off by being on time
And at night in the dive bar we pretend we're careless
Philosophers are liberally quoted
But you can't blow a decent fart
Out of a lame ass
French kisses or long distance calls
At night rates
We talk ourselves into being confident
And die again
From the same heart disease
Where are you tonight
I haven't seen you for a long time
My head is heavy and my heart hurts
Give me one more chance
If there is one more left
