Zitat von Bönefeld
"And I'm broke, like a bad joke
Somebody’s uncle told at a wedding reception in 1972
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home
And he thought about how everyone dies someday
And when tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be
And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat
Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline
And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms
And disassembles my despair
It never took me anywhere
It never once bought me a drink"

I remember
how the darkness doubled.
I recall
lightning struck itself.
I was listening
listening to the rain
I was hearing
hearing something else.
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
the kiss of death, the embrace of life.
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon, just waiting
Hesitating...
I ain't waiting !
I spoke to a man
down at the tracks.
I asked him
how he don't go mad.
He said: "Look here Junior, don't you be so happy.
And for heaven's sake, don't you be so sad."
Well, a cadillac
it pulled out of the graveyard.
Pulled up on me;
all they said: "Get in".
Then the Cadillac
it puttered back into the graveyard.
And me,
I got out again...
