lyrics

When I was a little kid
and I couldn't fall asleep
my mother sang me lullabies
but I just lay awake sometimes.

She sang about a looney street
a madhouse there in Moabit
I know that she just meant well
but in my dreams I went to hell.

Old women in her bedtime tales
strong make-up and long fingernails
deep voices and smokers cough
wearing fur, never laugh

The climax of the human kind
with powers I don't understand
I almost see them coming in
Ma, I need a Gin.

Now that I am twenty-four
I ain't got no fear no more
I know what mama sang about
and I just wanna shout out loud

at the madhouse in our looney street
you know down there in Moabit
one day you have to go there, too
and then you finally see…

the old women of my bedtime tales
strong make-up and long fingernails
deep voices and smokers cough
wearing fur, never laugh

The climax of the human kind
with powers I don't understand
I almost see them coming in
Ma, I need a Gin.
