I walked like an Egyptian
In the thorn forest Mary sang for me
I died in your arms, Bochum '84
I never let the sun go down
Dance with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And I'm standing in purple rain
I wanna be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me
And Michael won't leave me alone
I was welcome to the jungle
And a stranger in my own land
And totally sick in the head
Like Rio, my king for eternity
I had reached the end of the road
Was a loser, baby, but then
I held a cover in my hand
On it a monk who stood in flames
Kurt Cobain told me to come as I am
Dance with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And I'm standing in purple rain
I wanna be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me
And Michael won't leave me alone
'One Minute' done, then it was over
I sang only for myself, for an endlessly long time
And yet from the same star
I walked like an Egyptian
I never let the sun go down
And now I sing my songs
Dance with tears in my eyes
Bowie was my hero for a day
And I'm standing in purple rain
I wanna be a firestarter
Whitney will always love me
And Michael won't leave us alone
Because we sing these songs
Dance with tears in our eyes
Bowie was a hero for a day
And EMF can't believe it
And we're standing in purple rain
Whitney will always love us
And Michael won't leave us alone
