lyrics

German girl, where are you?
Swift runner, where'd you sprint to?
I can barely see the joy in your eyes.
Your swift defeat left me surprised.

German girl, where are you?
Laughing girl, your eyes betray you--
Though you tweet your tales, your heart is numb.
All your flesh for sale in search for “the one.”

You are so far.

German girl, what did you find
as you gave up slowly, dragging behind?
Did you find the golden prince of your dreams?
All the fun you wanted turned into screams…

You are so far.

Come back home, German girl.
Put back on your Father’s pearls.
Come back home, German girl.
For you, I’d give all the world.
