The German Tourist I went in search of a Tropical paradise And found it in my motherland Where I'd grown up as a lonely young boy The slow simple lifestyle The beautiful beaches and warm sunshine Gradually transformed me from a ragged hyena into a serene Snail Day after day, I frolicked in the Surf Carefree and innocent As happy as a child Suddenly he swept through my life Majestically Like a typhoon of passion Shattered logic and common sense Ravaged my innocence Demolished my newly formed tranquil Shell With utmost ease! Naked Vulnerable My emotions in a raging tempest I reverted back to a lowly hyena Humbly brought to my knees by this magnificent Lion Should I follow him to Berlin Which is dreary, cold, and morose? Or should I stay alone in my tropical paradise But may never see him again? Tormented I think of him night and day Miss him every minute Recalling all the little things we used to do... No lonely hyena ever survives a brutal Mauling By a big strong male lion!
