Luxus (engl.) Paroles

frozen-faced good cheer
we dance charmed circles
knowing what will be, will be
gladly give our leaders
responsibility
shut up with your sermons
stop making such a fuss
we're trying to have a party
and you're not one of us
doubts float away in fountains of champagne
and cocaine helps to clear the head
our dreams have faded gradually to nothing
only the survivors become the chosen ones
we dance...
we wrap ourselves in cashmere and in silk
all desires at last fulfilled
ideals and hopes too boring to concern us
luxury, that's it, the common bound we share
loco on the mainline
with the sidings all shut down where everyone's alone
we dance...
