So, take good care, take good care . . . of me, now
and if you leave . . . me . . . now - leave eternally
and if you leave . . . me . . . now - don´t leave me . . . on my own
here alone - here alone
so, take good care . . . of me . . . now
i wish to see - sometimes i feel - maybe i need now
just like a seacloud - high above the wavecrowd
of a twisted sea - twisted, twisted, twisted sea
- i´m shivering -
- my heart & soul is shivering -
- it´s so cold -
- Lord, it´s so cold -
i will never miss - the urban streetlightserenade
i will never miss - the "special", "social", glittering smile
that´s penetrating me - everyday - everyday, every day
. . . hopefully - hopefully
further i will never miss my silent babys`bliss
deep inside this heart
where i wish to be - is so far . . . away from me
maybe you can see
you - see - maybe
see : " m a y b e "
so take good care - take good care . . . for me now . . . now
- i´m playing with a white plastic heart -
- there´s a hole inside -
- i´m playing with a white plastic heart -
- there´s a hole in the "center" -
all this is so real . . . this is so real
so real - R E A L
you just can´t smile it away - or scheme to stay
or fix it as the beauty of the heart
- or fix it as the beauty deep inside the maze -
it´s so much more than a desire
you can´t burn it with a fire
you can call me a liar - call me a liar . . . come on call me a liar !!!
liar, liar, liar, liar, liar . . .
but take good care
take good care . . . of me . . . now
