Rolander - Faint Reflections

Musik: Roland Enders
Text: Richard Bellinghausen
Vocals: Claudia Theisen

Can't wrap my mind around it
This town got me so dumbfounded
Thought I knew it inside out
This park was made for beavers
Not once would you spot retrievers
Now without one they won't let me in
Last night it still read "no dogs allowed"

Streetcars were packed with skaters
And Elvis impersonators
Colonel Parker made them cry
Don's Diner is vegetarian
Each menu spelled in Hungarian
Yesterday it was in Thai, I'm sure
Prices here are daylight robbery

I'm just a shadow of my old shadow
Some wornout backdrop for a cancelled sideshow
My sensations are weird
I've got a feeling these aren't my affections
And not my features, only faint reflections
All the mirrors are smeared

So seldom blessed with boyfriends
I'll come to this bar on weekends
Though familiar it feels strange
Say Hi to nimble barmaids
The chef and the grumpy stage aid
Everyone has been exchanged it seems
No one here I've ever seen before

This guy used to entice me
Each line he recalls precisely
But he's got a different face
I'm much inclined to doubt him
No hint of a smell about him
He most likely also was replaced
Furthermore might be a replicant
