Auf'm Friedhof Lyrics
Nina Hagen Band
Lyrics
Little Vampire!
In our graveyard we both lay in the silence
In the silence,
There are no Fromms (=condom brand) and no pills, in the silence
And we bite
in white necks until they bleed, until they bleed
and we suck
the candidates over a heap, over a heap
Blood, blood, blood
Blood does good
Death, death, death,
Death is needed
"I don't want to die."
Peace, peace, peace
Peace in the oubliette
"Jesus? Here is Nina!"
Little Vampire!
In our graveyard we are happy, we are happy
My skeleton
is so sexy when I strip, my skeleton
The Devil comes, he helps us out, and tells us
"God is dead
The Lord is gone
God is dead
The Lord is gone
God is dead
The Lord is gone
God is dead
The Lord is gone"
That's right.
God is dead!
