parts of the lyrics were taken from poems by Mascha Kaléko from the collection "In meinen Träumen läutet es Sturm" mostly dealing with the experience of being exiled
lyrics
inside of me inside of you
we always wanted to be true
it's not a game, it's not a game
I'm wondering, I'm wondering
if anyone is just like me
it's not a game, I go insane
I'm holding my breath with both hands
I keep my fingers crossed
we grew old before we were young
our lifes a state of not yet dead
so close and almost there - never enough
Spend your last dime on one last drink
and then get out of life's way
just get out of life's way
I'm holding my breath with both hands
I keep my fingers double-crossed
but I wanna change the world
do you wanna change the world with me?
don' let me waste my time
Inside of you, inside of me
we always wanted to be free
it's not a game, don't go insane
take your life into your own hands
and then make the change you need
just make that change!
