Lieder English translation
von Adel Tawil

I walked like an Egyptian
Cried with doves
Was a voodoo-child
Like a rolling stone

In the thorn forest Maria sang for me
I died in your arms, Bochum 84

I never let the sun go down
In my wonderful world

And I'm singing these songs
I dance with tears in the eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can not believe it
And I'm standing in the purple rain
Wanna be a fire start
Whitney will always love me
and Michael won't leave me alone


I was welcome in the jungle
And strange in my own country
My personal Jesus
And in brain total sick
And I ask me when
I will, I will be famous
Like Rio, my king forever

I came to the end of the street
Was a loser, baby, but then
I held a cover in the hand
On top a human burning
Kurt Cobain told me to come as I am

And I'm singing these songs
I dance with tears in the eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can not believe it
And I'm standing in the purple rain
Wanna be a fire-starter
Whitney will always love me
and Michael won't leave me alone


I was one of five boys
"One Minute" off, then it was over
I sang only for me, for infinite time
And then I met her
And she remembered me
We were worlds away
But from the same Star

I walked like an Egyptian
Cried with doves
Was a voodoo-child
Like a rolling stone

I never let the sun go down
In my wonderful world

And mow I'm singing my songs
I dance with tears in the eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And EMF can not believe it
And I'm standing in the purple rain
Wanna be a fire-starter
Whitney will always love me
and Michael won't leave me alone

Cause we're singing these songs
Dance with tears in the eyes
Bowie was a hero for a day
And EMF can not believe it
And we're standing in the purple rain
Wanna be fire-starters
Whitney will always love us
and Michael won't leave us alone
