gedankenträger [man weiß ja nie]

A man sticks his fingers inside of his mouth
The words are stuck in there
He fishes them out
Whispers and mumbles,
Statements and verse,
Curses and love songs
For nobody else

Man takes a pencil and puts down his thoughts
The old human highway from Eden to Nod
Brothers and sisters,
Husbands and wives,
Strangers and cripples
In love with their lives

How they dance
In a trance
Where the river bends
Here we go,
Don't you know
That it never ends
Some who ride
Some who slide
Everyone you know
Travels on
That great western road

Usw.
