Lits-Jumeaux

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Jewish boy] The David's star On my wintercoat My mother took it off to hide it In the drawer New buttons on My Sunday shirt She ironed it and put it On the table On the wall A poster of the Führer 'Fanta erfrischt' On the wall A poster of a US soldier 'What I want is a coke' [Verse 2 - Soldier boy] Mother ironed my black shirt And hung my uniform on the wall SS on the sleeves New buttons And a swastika On my black shirt [Verse 3 - Jewish boy & soldier boy] We are sleeping In lits-jumeaux A thin wall between us A thin wall bewteen 2 houses, 29 and 31 A shadow play Elfenbein und schwarzer Stahl In lits-jumeaux [Verse 4 - Soldier boy] A shadow play on the wallpaper with flowers Shadows of the war… the battlefields…and trains A shadow play Puppets on a string Trains Buttons Ivory Black steel Elfenbein Schwarzer Stahl
