Face down in Dresden on the bar room floor The east German son is rising again Papa I know how your troubles been long Like me just a man, a bull raging in our blood In that blood lies a seed, a chromosome of revolt Against your god, your country, your family and yourself I am a walking contradiction tonight & I will drink myself senseless in the memory of a girl Just like our wayward dysfunctional cuzin When will he stop all his shooting & gambling ways When will he stop all his banging & whoring ways My brothers held me back for I was swaying like a daisy Sleepwalking through a room that I just had destroyed They're beginning to understand all the years of distress That have honed this boy's Frankenstein complex to a level all its own When the sun lifts itself high above the block houses I'll be the one at the wheel watching in the rear view mirror Lamenting my actions after all these years But feeling the pleasure of watching another city disappear Face down in Frankfurt on the airport floor The Yankee auschlander is lifting himself up again Brothers I know that yuour patience is thin You just can't understand the sorrowful state that I'm in Give me your eardrums, I'll hum you a bar or two While you cut the piano-wire to chase down your foes I can see it in your faces, you suppress the disdain Like me just a man, a bull raging in our blood
