In A Play (Das Mädchen im Pelz)

Lyrics

In a play where the actors die You told me you were thinking Of the clothesline in the attic In a play when the shirts are dry You showed him the vaccination mark On your upper arm I will try to frame your face I will try to speak your name Das Mädchen im Pelz The elevator's gone In a plane where the stewards charm You told me you were falling Out of the highest tree in the world In a plane flying to Helsinki Somewhere in a forest A tree is falling down I will try to frame your face I will try to speak your name Das Mädchen im Pelz The elevator's gone I will try to frame your face I will try to speak your name The lady in fur The elevator's gone In a play where the actors die You told me you were thinking Of a bathroom hung with dripping blouses
