The clouds hang low
All the clouds hang low
We are trapped
Never coming back 
And the clouds hang low
The curtains are drawn
All the curtains are drawn
Buzzing TV screens
Trade our lifes for dreams
And the curtains are drawn
And somewhere inside
Wrapped in soft white blankets
Runs a crack through my heart
Wrapped in soft white blankets
The rain blows on the roof
The rain blows on the roof
Every car down the alley
Was smitten with hail
And the rain blows on the roof
The doors are locked
All the doors are locked
The keys attached
To chains around our necks
And the doors are locked
There’s everything you need
In Schöneberg

White West

Schoeneberg

Glowing in the shadows
My neon orchid
Lures the flies
Striking, unrivaled beauty
White and virgin
She bats no eye
For her yearning
I feed her sugar
And let her drink
Champagne on ice
Rising above the tulips
So lush and strong
Ready and ripe
Harvest, spades and sickles
The Californian sun sets
The ravens rise
At the banquet
We slit her throat
Binge on her blood
Feast on her eyes
I love you more
Than ever

Orchids

In the north, in the south
In the east, in the west
I see a fire
Don’t you take your pretty eyes
Off the fire trails up in the sky
Warm and save and free and blessed
All fed and full, secured, at rest
After all, we’re more or less
Just bones and teeth
Dressed up in flesh

Fire

Dropped a bad seed
Where the soil bleeds
Into the rivers deep
I dropped a bad seed
After the sun died
Up in the black sky
You see the vultures fly
After the sun died
And we rise!
When the earth quakes
When the towers shake
It’s raining cracks and flakes
When the earth quakes
We leave the poor souls
On their last dole
Like fishes in a bowl
We leave the poor souls
And we rise!
Into every life
A little rain
Must fall

A Little Rain

White West is a four-piece band from Berlin. File them under Post Punk. Although their sonic spectrum is rather broad: Cold like Joy Division, feverish like Bauhaus, blurry like Echo & the Bunnymen and dangerous like the Birthday Party. Punchy electronically-enhanced drums, cutting bass guitar, analogue synthesizers and effect-laden guitar riffs. Cynical lyrics. Fun to dance and to wear make-up to.
