Great Mission Songtext
von Yello

The jungle near Manaus
The Amazonas full of piranhas
The birds of paradise
Disappear into the green desert
For years and years
We are hungry and desperate
For the only thing worth living
The Excess

We end our great mission
Exhausted and sad
And there is no hope left


When suddenly
In a cloud of golden smog
The Father of Excess
Jumps out of the water
Of the Amazonas full of piranhas
And screams
To the lost souls

What are you doing
At the Amazonas near Manaus
Full of piranhas?
You will not find Excess in the jungle

And then he opened the green curtain
Made of fleshy leaves and said
I show you the Excess of the Asfalt d′Amour Maître
The Excess of the belly dance in Abu Dhabi
And the Excess of the everlasting night in Manhattan
Are you ready for the Sensación del Tango a Rosario?
Leave in the Gorréa
Leave the jungle of the Amazonas near Manaus
Full of piranhas
And follow Father Excess
