Amon Düül II - Mr. Kraut's Jinx lyrics

Mr. Kraut's jinx was an Egyptian sphinx It happened during the holiday to the Valley of Kings He got hypnotised like Peter Pan by the moon The strength of a smell made him quite dizzy soon And suddenly there were cobwebs all over And suddenly there were cobwebs all over And thoughts of forgotten riddles returned It was like Fata Morganas that weren't When saucers seemed to carry him up to the sky Mr. Kraut, surprised, choked in a soundless cry Considering those imaginations Considering those imaginations And the pictures in his eyes began to swim When the extraterrestrials whispered to him Now he knew the strangers were there for real He wasn't dreaming 'cause he still could feel When he pinched himself as a precaution When he pinched himself as a precaution And he thought by himself Wherever I stay Whatever I think Whatever I say Whatever I mean Whatever I dream I'm betrayed and sold I am controlled What will be there What will be there tomorrow What will be there What will be there tomorrow He was flying high for one night and one day He knew he was already light years away He was still disturbed and rather blind What kind of new world was he going to find But he felt they soon would be landing But he felt they soon would be landing And shapes of shadows were drifting by He felt like an animal, scared and shy The invisible ship by whoever it was steered Landed softly but immediately disappeared What the hell were they going to do with him? What the hell were they going to do with him? Somehow he was glad, but he was taken instead They carried him away for another night and day And after a while the darkness disappeared It was the moment of arrival he feared 'Cause he knew the journey was now all over 'Cause he knew the journey was now all over The enlightenment was shocking He was put into a zoo Plenty of beasts there And no way out of there too He was to be imprisoned For the rest of his life And all the loneliness Without a wife What a damned, what a damned damned damned future What a damned, damned damned future While he was pondering about his bad, bad luck About the hopeless situation he was stuck in The door opened a little and they thrust somebody in He stumbled over there to find out what it means What a gas when he looked there down to the ground It was a beautiful girl that he had found He took her tenderly by the arm And said to her, don't feel no harm Don't bother to worry, everything is okay 'Cause future ain't tomorrow Future is today 'Cause future ain't tomorrow Future is today 'Cause future ain't tomorrow Future is today 'Cause future ain't tomorrow Future is today Future ain't tomorrow Future is today
