Lyrics
You’d better listen, anybody,
‘Cause I’m gonna make it clear
That my life is unimportant;
What I’ve done I did through fear.
There’s a river running through me:
Son its tide I tried to hide;
Nonetheless I could not shake it,
But in the end it swept aside
All my feeble unimportance.
I can’t say it, never mind.
Can’t you hear me, mother, calling you?
I’m cold, I’m deaf, I’m blind,
And if only ‘cause you’re lucky,
We both know that’s no find.
I did think I’d be an actor.
What I am I’ll leave behind.

You’d better listen, anybody,
‘Cause it’s me and you—that’s it,
And in case you find your maker,
Perhaps you’ll plead for us a bit.
All my sick is in my stomach,
All my sweat is clearly fear,
And if you could see inside me,
I don’t think you’d have me here.
Tell the helmsman veer to starboard,
Bring this ship around to port,
And if the sea was not so salty,
I could sink instead of walk,
And in case of passing strangers
Who are standing where I fell,
Tell the truth: you never knew me,
And in truth it’s just as well.
