immer seltener

 

[...] Man wurde immer seltener von Fremden angesprochen - meist nur von Soziopathen. Irgendetwas daran war merkwürdig geworden: Im besten Fall wurde man als Sonderling abgestempelt, im ungünstigsten als Triebtäter.

"Take One Last Look"

 

Take One Last Look

(Tom Waits)

Let's watch the sun come up in another town

Try our luck a little further down

Leave the cards on the table

Leave the bread on the plate

Put your hand on the gearshift

Put your foot off the break

And take one last look

At the place that you are leaving

Take one last look

Oh, take one last look

At the place that you are leaving

Take one last look

Our bed was something that the wind couldn't carry

The arrow points away across the waiting prairie

This car looks like it could give us a good run

Our choice to leave was a good one

Let's look forward to the lights that are new

The world is a ribbon of road for you

All towns have churches and tire shops

They put up speed limit signs and they hire cops

I love to see the wind in your hair

All we ever need we can get anywhere.

And take one last look

At the place that you are leaving

Take one last look

Oh, take one last look

At the place that you are leaving

Take one last look
