Funky Pictures
Text: Hans Hochenrieder 2007 Musik: Franz Hofer 2018
I´m a poet, not an eskimo
But I can piss your name into the snow
Find out what you´ve always known
Skin on skin - bone by bone
Me I don´t do - I just watch
Looking at you - I don´t touch
And when you leave, you leave behind
Those funky pictures in my mind.
Rain inside paper cup, money´s down, time is up
No woman makes his heart attack -
Captain Rubber checks his luck.
He won´t do - he likes to watch
Looking at you - he won´t touch
And when you leave, you leave behind
Those funky picures in his mind.
So you follow me through thick and thin
Don´t you catch me when I fall
Protecting me from everything
Which isn´t there at all
All the birds that sung and came
No difference, still you´re not the same
Feelin´ walrussy and penny-lame
I know that you know my name
You won´t do - you just watch
Looking at me - you won´t touch
And when I leave, I leave behind
Those funky pictures in your mind.
I´ve been beatled, I´ve been stoned
Loved by dogs and left alone
Still my soft spot isn´t getting hard
There´s no end, and that´s a start.
Me I don´t do - I just watch
Looking at you - I won´t touch
And when you leave, you leave behind
Those funky pictures in my mind.
