Hoelderlin - Mad House lyrics

Was it yesterday, or was it last year? Did it really happen, or was it only a dream? I was visiting a couple of old friends And having some pretty strange experiences The house was old and handsome, set in a garden And when you opened the door, you stumbled over the fixed gaze of an old woman She ceaselessly stroked her cat and shattered on and on, on and on... That was the young girl Brunhilde, she once was gentle She can go up in smoke now if she wants As well as making a couple of other pretty tricks with you Her friend he was a first rate juggler Shrill cries from above, as if one screamed: "I'm freaking out, I want out of here Out of this madhouse!" And in the next room, there is a general He tells you about his soft worms he breeds And when one of them escapes, his eyes grow cramp and narrow Then he screams: "Company charge, every man to his horse!" Shrill cries from above, as if one screamed: "I'm freaking out, I want out of here Out of this madhouse!" And staggering down the stairs, it takes my breath away To see black smoke bursts from Brunhilde's room Two dwarfish fellows laugh themselves to d**h And the old woman with the angry gaze trips me right out of my mind Now I live here too - I can't get out And now I live here too - I can't get out Out of this madhouse
