I met a girl in the dark
I’m hurt, she said, hurt me
You’re singing in riddles, I said
She shook her head intensely
Her eyes were full of things she could not say
I’m in pain, she moaned, give me more
Crooked words lead straight to truth
Those who love each other hurt each other
And die wanting each other, immortally.

I know a Girl
She loves to pray
And everytime we kiss
She runs away in shame
Because I don’t fit into her world
And she can’t look her leader in the eye
When I’m on her mind
Is your river flowing?
Should I… check again?
Breathing hard she runs far away
And in the distance we can pretend
That she’s stronger than Shame…
She’s ashamed of herself
For not being herself
Because she’s afraid of herself.

Meine Lust
Wandert
Von Frust zu Frust
Zieh mir das Hemd hoch
Und küss kühl meine Haut
Hol mich langsam runter
Schenk mir Frieden, Hoffnung, Trost
Meine Lust
Wandert
Von Brust zu Brust.
