Lyrics Katzenjammer Kabarett

Katzenjammer Kabarett

Three sketches

My darling baby now let's go to bed

But darling sounds like beloved instead

Mommy ignores the lurking dread

Sweet child of hers has twins in her head

Has twins in her head...

"I got twins in my head!!"

The bed was tucked, there wass no one around

I wish I could move but my limbs are bound

The night is so thick and sweet Mommy's gone

Afraid of the dark and the voices come.

The voices come

(and my Mommy's gone)

Dollies and puppets dance on the shelf

Night-night me, night-night myself

Pictures, voices and thoughts in whirls

Girlies kissing other girls and other girls

Silent moans: "Oh Mommy please help me!"

"Kiss her, no, kill her!" Can't help this uneasy

Dolly mixture of feelings and shadows

Anger and joy tension and sorrow

And everything goes...

Gingerbread bogeymen, void wedding dresses

Dance in the trees, giving cold kisses

Legions of shades walk by the windows

While winds blow the cries of weeping willows

(She's the one to know)

Through the moonlit forest pale feet ran fast

Trying to escape from herself aghast

The very last step was made to the river

Where lily-white dresses float forever

For ever and ever

Everything hastened in the fake roundabout

Poor Gemini girl, she found no way out

By her lily-white hand,

The dead dollies took her

And tied her to dreams for ever and ever

Gemini Girly came and said to me

"Don't you be worried, I lie with dollies

And they look after me

Just like sweet Mommy

Used to care for me

Used to care for me

And now every night, she comes in my sleep

Now every night she comes in my sleep!"

Sweet Gemini Girly cries, Gemini Girly dies, Gemini Girly lies

Her lily white dress shines

Deep deep down inside, deep deep down inside

The river and my mind, the river and my mind

"Down inside,

The river and...

my mind"
