ZANG TUUMB TUM DISCOGRAPHY “…or the imagination”

45 is


When the light goes on
I keep seeing pictures
In front of my eyes
Like paintings almost

There is a room with a chair
And a bed and a woman in a nightdress
She is dreaming a dream
And in the dream she is cold and dry and made of sand

She goes to a hotel to find a man and a woman
She undresses for the woman and sits on her knee
The warmth of her body flows through her body of sand
Yes, she thinks, this is enough

She kisses the woman
And the wetness of her lips
Seeps through her body turning the sand into blood
Yes, she thinks, this is enough

(Sie kusst die frau
Und die feuchtigkeit ihrer lippen
Zicht durch den körper und verwandelt den sand in blut
Ja, denkt sie, das ist genug)

[She kisses the woman
And the wetness of her lips
Seeps through her body
Turning the sand into blood
Yes, she thinks, this is enough]

(When the light goes on
I keep seeing pictures in front)

When the light goes on
I keep seeing pictures
In front of my eyes
Like paintings almost

A woman sits on a mans lap
He whispers in her ear
He has read the dictionary of dances he says
That change sand into blood

So they try the first dance
But when she gets back to her chair
She thinks, well, it wasn’t quite enough

They try a second dance
But the light goes out

They try the third dance
But the music changes
And they have to go back to the beginning again

The man has the feeling
That the last dance will probably be the answer
But that dance is a long way off

(The man has the feeling
