With empty eyes and tears on his face
He stands alone in the neon green light
He numbs his pain and for a moment
The world looks up to him and his smile returns

Bleached hair, sunbed-tanned
Cigarette butts scattered on the floor
Once a Porsche, now state benefits
None of his old friends are left
The tattoos have faded
Too much anger, too much schnapps
Easy women, fast money
He messed up his future
The last thing that remains from successful days
The newspaper articles in the golden frame
Because he was an athlete
A big shot on the Reeperbahn
Eyes lowered when he was nearby
Everyone knew him, a well-trained ladies' man
Today bloated and liver damage

With empty eyes and tears on his face
He stands alone in the neon green light
He numbs his pain and for a moment
The world looks up to him and his smile returns

With empty eyes and tears on his face
He stands alone in the neon green light
He numbs his pain and for a moment
The world looks up to him and his smile returns

He's been walking around the apartment block for hours
Everyone laughs at him when he looks for bottles in the trash
That's why he only goes out at night
Because then all cats are gray

He goes to the disco, vodka shots, vodka E
But his only conversation is when he lays one
No one wants to be friends with him
This life is a vicious circle

With empty eyes and tears on his face
He stands alone in the neon green light
He numbs his pain and for a moment
The world looks up to him and his smile returns

He numbs his pain and for a moment
The world looks up to him and his smile returns
