Manchmal - Fish

The turtle and the scorpion, the riverbank the deal

To cross the open water they mutually agreed

Out there in the distance, the other side in sight

Banking on forever, holding on for life

I can see the other side

I want to see the other side

Somewhere in the middle the truth is hard to find

I’m running round in circles;

I find I’m running blind

Praying for the distance, praying for more time

Running round in circles, running out of time

Manchmal, I often think of you

Manchmal, I want to see it through

Manchmal, I should feel something more inside

Manchmal, I want to reach the other side

I’m swimming, I’m swimming!

The point of grave decision, no turning back this time

No sense of reluctance, no doubt in my mind

Except that nagging feeling, the thought that it might fail

The bullet’s in the chamber, the sting is in the tail

Manchmal, I only think of you

Manchmal, could we see it through?

Manchmal, there is something left inside?

Manchmal, my nature cannot hide!

I can see where we’re going;

I can see how you feel

I can sense you’re going to leave me, I know you’ll break the deal

I’ll drown in my sorrows and I’ll drink at your shrine, manchmal

Is that the way that you see it, tell me how it should be

It’s time to choose between the devil and the deep blue see

Manchmal, Manchmal

Manchmal, there’s something stirring deep inside

Manchmal, a chance to come alive

Manchmal, manchmal

It’s time to choose between the open water and your dreams

Time you faced reality, time you faced your fears

Manchmal, it’s different this time

Manchmal, manchmal, it’ll be different this time

Manchmal, manchmal

Jedesmal
