lara this


Move forward This day remains You may be nothing but a memory of the day before yesterday But I’ll tell you, that was a shitty day honor it, but look ahead there’s much better there you started singing, and everyone was gone what a Berlin, what a city, what a village they keep smoking peat and they need you, that’s what drives them You don’t even need a chord And everything is real and a sign Only a few can achieve something like that And they all arrive No concrete walls, just cupboards everywhere And then they arrive With many thanks Just say, “Yeah, all right, man” Who cares That they were blind Who can help it Not to look We all need our women Mine is still messing around And everyone’s singing about Lara Lara this this that that that that Lara, get a grip Lara, your boyfriend’s real Are you with me at the start? I could cry, but I just eat acid I could cry, but I just eat acid I could cry, and I just eat people I’m crying and you’re all my prey I’m the German here Just read what all this means
