We're standing around the carnival in Treptow Drinking a quick cool beer Lemme buy you all a shot of Schnapps. And we finish off the beer and the Schnapps Take one more fast ride in the chamber of horrors. Actually I wanted to head home long ago When somebody says: Minelli's here Hey, let's see if it's for real. But it was all a bum steer, Only Nina Hagen, nothin' happenin' Actually I wanted to head home long ago When somebody says: a band's playing up front, Hey, let's go over and give a listen. Like I should go, or should I stay I mean, you gotta do somethin' Should I go, or should I stay Or who knows what What I can do. The band was just doing a Jethro Tull hit They played so rotten, man, not one sound was right Actually I wanted to head home long ago When somebody says, c'mon over to my place, I'm throwing a garden fete. And we take the s-bahn out to Dahlem, Sit around listening to music. Actually I wanted to head home long ago When somebody says: ain't nothin' happenin' here, nah, Ain't absolutely nothin' happenin' here.
