40. ich stehe völlig neben mir
nicht glücklich weil nicht neben dir
ich rufe dich nur an um dich zu fragen
kann es sein, daß ich bei meinem letzten besuch
bei dir verlor was ich jetzt such
ich fühl mich unwohl ohne kopf in der straßenbahn
deswegen lern’ ich koflos Fahhrad fahrn’
und ich weiß wahrscheinlich mit den jahrn’ werd
ich lernen dabei mein gesicht zu wahrn’
Hey, what about Norway!?! Or who was it then that I met in Oslo? ;-)
