VERSE:

I am the heaven, I am the wa-ter
(Ich bin der Himmel, Ich bin das Wasser)


Ich bin der Dreck unter deinen Walzen
(I am the dirt beneath your rollers)


Ich bin dein geheimer Schmutz und verlorenes Metallgeld (Metallgeld) 
(I am your secret filth & lost change)


Ich bin deine Ritze
(I am your cracks)


Ich bin deine Ritze und Schlitze 
(I am your cracks and crannies)


I am the clouds, I am embroidered
(Ich bin die Wolken, Ich werde besticken)


Ich bin der Autor aller Felgen und Damast-Paspeln, 
(I am the author of all tucks and damask-piping)


Ich bin der Kromdai - nette, Ich bin der Kromdai - nette 
(I am the chrome-dinette, I am the chrome-dinette)


Ich bin Eier  al -ler Arten 
(I am eggs of all persuasions)


Ich bin alle Tage und Nächte 
(I am all days and nights)


Ich bin alle Tage und Nächte 
(I am all days and nights)


Ich bin hier (AIEE-AH!) und du bist mein Sofa 
(I am here and you are my sofa)


Ich bin hier (AIEE-AH!) und du bist mein Sofa 
(I am here and you are my sofa)


Ich bin hie - ier und du bist mein Sofa 
(I am here and you are my sofa)
