Mr. Alzheimer
Mr. Alzheimer I want to talk to you for a moment
I'm still doing well, I'm not old
in my jelly above there are no gaps yet
but one day and I don't mind that
I have long since forgotten this song
then I don't know what I sang tonight
but now I don't want anything there about knowing
because now I'm still good and healthy
and young enough to ask you something
my problem is really not too big
it's about my last days
if you strike just before my death
would you like to select a little bit, a little bit
so that I remember the beautiful things
so when I'm wasting away in my chair
that I can still think about my wife
with whom I made love for so many years
with whom I lived for so many hours
that I still remember a little bit how we did it
because my own body will never show me that again
oh well, I don't mind forgetting a lot of things
I already know twelve women in a row
of which at least three would I already don't remember the name
and the rest are also drowning in that gray mush
there is more than enough to take with me
take my fear, and my despair and sadness
take them, I will never claim them
but don't take anything that is beautiful
take my money, my lies and my arguments
and my way too much often aggrieved tone
but leave me a few illusions
and the love for my daughter and my son
and you can certainly take one thing
I'm just far too cowardly for that
maybe that's why I'm one of the weaklings
but I beg you to take away my fear of death
so that I can leave the world nice and quiet
with a wink to mine without fear
mr. Alzheimer's can be talked about
because I am afraid of dying for life
so that I can leave the world nice and quietly
with a wink to the mines without fear
if Alzheimer's can talk about it
because I am afraid of dying for life
