DANCE WITH THE DEVIL
music ©by mafish, text ©by ralf moß

Hanging branches surround me
It knocks under the bark
And in my head

The forest is cursed

I hear the leaves crying
Like children
I’m feeling I’m
In demand
I fall into the deep


Thing’s are turning so quick
Colors change
There’s someone in my ear
Don’t know who he is
Not even what
He’s sugar sweet
And gives me fear


He makes wild promises
I wood rather be alone
No one is able

To hear me

I don’t remember words
That I could say
And just to whom
And why
It’s just a dream

Everybody tells me it is easy
No problem to do
All you need is dreaming
And that is what I do


Dreaming, I’m dreaming
I know for sure I’m dreaming
But my knowledge comes to late
I’m dancing with the devil


Hier endet der Song, nachdem wir ihn für unsere erste CD neu arrangiert haben. Der (weiter unten) in weiß gehaltene Teil des alten Textes findet sich allerdings im Klappentext der CD wieder, die folgerichtig Cuttin' Thoughts heißt


Am I landed, am I arrived
Or have I never been away
In any case is

The welcome is real hearty

One hands over Presents
But all much to big
Cartons are welded
No chance to open
No chance


The food automat
Spits out nothing but questions
My hunger is
Wondering, hangs out his tongue
All’s different
Strange cracked
What time is it
I think it’s yesterday


People are coming
With strange things on their head
They spout out

Words into someone’s face

Words that cut
Like knives, that sharp
Cutting thoughts in peaces
That no one is allowed to

Pick up

Everybody tells me it is easy
No problem to do
All you need is dreaming
And that is what I do

I know for sure that I’m dreaming...
