CUT OFF
music ©by mafish, text ©by ralf moß

Sittin’ in a train
Like everyday
No hooks for my coat
They took that away
No warning about "Leans Out Of The Window"
The windows are locked
And so is the door

At the end of the waggon
There is a sentry
If you want to the restroom you have to ask him
He watches what you’re doing
And he keeps you alive
If you try to break off you precious life

Would you do me favour
Throw that dryer in my water
Push me down in my tub
Try any knock, any torture
Would you please
Do that favour
Would you please
Handle that free setting cut
Handle that cut

We come to the station
Everywhere walls
No way to the rails
No bridges, no holes
No traffic outside, you get pushed in a bus
For keepin’ you home without dangerous
Without dangerous

No tree to hang up your body high
No river, no see for a final dive
They cutted away any chances to die
They left us no way to end our life
All is controlled and anything ruled
And Big Brother is alltime watching you
Big Brother is watching you

Would you do me favour
Throw that dryer in my water
Plug it in
For my future
Turn it on
Go on forward
Push me down in my tub
Try any knock, any torture
Would you please
Do that favour
Would you please
Handle that free setting cut
Handle that cut

My balconydoor is
Locked like my window
Tools are forbidden
No scissors, no knives
Need a passport for love, medical certificates
Come and and take me
And fuck me to death
And fuck me to death
But I think they will come
To take you away
They will turn off the water
The light and the gas
Will keep us in cotton wool, hospital-jails
With artificial nutrition to save human race

Human race, human race, human r...



Cut Off ist der erste Song, den MAFISH komponiert hat. Er entstand in der ersten Probe mit Achim, Gilbert und Ralf noch bevor Rolf zur Band stieß. Es ist bis heute eins unserer Lieblingsstücke. Auch mit Jan am Bass lebt es weiter und es ist auf der CD "Cuttin' Thoughts" zu hören.

Der Text, den Ralf geschrieben hat, basiert auf einer seiner Kurzgeschichten, die hier nachzulesen ist.
