Geminy Girly Song

Katzenjammer Kabarett


my darling baby now let's go to bed
but darling sounds like beloved instead 
mummy ignores the lurking dread 
sweet child of hers has twins in her head 
twins in her head, twins in her head " I have twins in my head" 

the bed was tucked there's no one around 
wish i could move but my limbs are bound 
the night is so thick and sweet mommy's gone 
Afraid of the dark and the voices come. 
The voices come (and my mommy's gone) 

dollies and puppets dance on the shelf 
Night-night me, night-night myself 
pictures, voices and thoughts in whirls 
Girlies kissing other girls and other girls 

silent moans: "O mommy please help me! 
kiss her no kill her can't help this uneasy 
dolly mixture of feeling and shadows 
anger and joy tension and sorrow 
and everything blows 

gingerbread bogeymen, void wedding dresses 
dance in the trees giving cold kisses 
legion of shades walk by the window 
while winds blow the cries of weeping willows 
she's the one to know 

through the moonlit forest pale feet ran fast 
trying to escape from herself aghast 
the very last step was made to the river 
where lily-white dresses (will) float forever 
for ever and ever 

everything hastened in the fake roundabout 
poor little girl she found no way out 
with lily white hands, 
the dead dollies took her 
and tied her to dreams for ever and ever 

Gemini Girly came and said to me 
don't you be worried, i lie with dollies 
and they look after me 
just like sweet mommy 
used to care for me 
used to care for me 

and every fkkin night she comes in my sleep 
every fkkin night she comes in my sleep 

sweet Gemini Girly cries, Gemini Girly dies, Gemini Girly lies 
her lily white dress shines 
"deep deep down inside deep deep down inside 
the river and mind, the river and my mind 
down inside, river and my mind 
the river and... my mind"
