After hours stream of consciousness.

lyrics

I was on the U-bahn and this Obdachlos
This homeless man came up to me and he said
Will you buy my homeless art paper?
He said auf Deutsch or auf Englisch I don't know . .

I said what makes it artistic?
And he said it's about the end of the world . .

The end of the world?
The end of the world?
Das Ende der Weld?
I said in my good genetiv German
Was meinst du?
And looking quite serious
he told me in this mysterious language . .

I lived in a City of Birds but I was a Cat
I wasn't a Bird, I actually kill birds and sometimes eat them
But as I was outnumbered I chose not to eat them
I became Vegan instead
I didn't want to consume the community that surrounded me

I looked at him
Consume the community that surrounded you
Was meinst du?
And übrigens you don't look like a cat . .
No! He said I wasn't a Haustier, a house animal
A Pet auf Englisch
I was a Black Panther in a City of Birds
Oh! I said. I dated someone named Panther.
He'd asked me I was clean
Clean like a bird that sprinkles itself in the Fountain
The Fontana di Trevi in Rome - have you been there?

Where the tourists throw coins and hope that
One day their dreams will come true
That one day they'll meet their Panther
And ride away into the bitcoin sunset . .

He recoiled - ging zurück
at the mention of the Cryptocurrency
Why do you say that?
Why? Why? What? What? What?
Cat in a City of Birds
Selling your Newspaper on the
End of the World
And yet here we are now
On the U-bahn and
You tell me your Story
Auf Deutsch Auf Englisch
Auf Italienisch Auf Body Language

Of Birds and Panthers and Rome and
Tourists wishing for some kind of Escape
Some Roman Holiday
Some Bitcoin dream
Some endless Berlin night . .

So for two Euros I took his paper
And then opening it up
Words came tumbling out like
Thought Balloons in a Cartoon

Don't consume the community
that surrounds you
Treat it with Respect
Every face you see
Every thing you buy

Every flower
Jedes Mal
Tutti sono Belli
Uccelli Uccelini

Reach out!
Reach out!
Reach out!
