Howl
Sometimes this city looks petrifiedI'm out here prowling like a wolf tonightGot no defenses when you're on your ownTrying to survive inside this danger zoneEveryone here is getting so defensiveThey've lost their way and they've lost their sensesMy pulse is pounding and my heart is beatingI've lost control and I've lost all reasonThe light is fading and it's getting darkShadowy strangers in the switching yardKids hanging out just waiting for the manHe's always going to have the upper handMy head is spinning, I can't think too clearI just keep dreaming I'll get out of hereI'll find a place where I can find myselfCrawl through a hole, escape the CitadelThe walls of Babylon are built so highBut there's a new world on the other sideSo I keep on searching, hold on to this dreamThe only thing they cannot take from meWe sit here waiting for some understandingLife in this city is just way too demandingPeople talking at me, unrelentingUntil I find that I have lost my sensesSongtexteWhen you've finally got nothing to loseHowl up at the moonLast night I sat listening to youHowling at the moonThe banker is wearing a suspender beltHe's drinking French champagne and raising hellHe likes the feel of his Versace dressHe's smeared his lipstick and it's such a messI look at life and see the other sideSome crazy junkie just shot out the lightsMuslims and Christians and the Holy JewsThey do their best to make a mess of youWhen you've finally got nothing to loseHowl up at the moonLast night I sat listening to youHowling at the moon Aus Songtexte Mania
