I walked like an Egyptian, cried with doves
Was a voodoo child, like a rolling stone
In the thorn forest, Maria sang for me
I died in your arms, Bochum '84
I never let the sun set
In my wonderful world

And I sing these songs
Dance with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day and EMF can't believe it
And I stand in the purple rain, I want to be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me and Michael won't leave me alone

I was welcome in the jungle and a stranger in my own country
My personal Jesus and totally sick in the brain
And I wonder, when will I, will I be famous
Like Rio, my king for eternity
I had reached the end of the road
Was a loser, baby, but then
I held a cover in my hand
On it a monk, standing in flames
Kurt Cobain told me to come as I am

And I sing these songs
Dance with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day and EMF can't believe it
And I stand in the purple rain, I want to be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me and Michael won't leave me alone

I was one of five boys
"One Minute"
Off, then it was over
I only sang for myself, for an infinitely long time
Then I met her
And she reminded me
We were worlds apart and yet from the same star

I walked like an Egyptian, cried with doves
Was a voodoo child, like a rolling stone
I never let the sun set
In my wonderful world

And now I sing my songs
Dance with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day and EMF can't believe it
And I stand in the purple rain, I want to be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me and Michael won't leave us alone

Because we sing these songs
Dance with tears in our eyes
Bowie was a hero for a day and EMF can't believe it
And we stand in the purple rain, we want to be a firestarter
Whitney will always love us and Michael won't leave us alone
