Katzenjammer - The Soviet Trumpeter lyrics

Bright the shine in my horn exiled and forlorn, a damp night in Berlin - yes Soaked in alcohol I walk up to a doll and say “how you look good” Rejections follow me around like a dagger in my back, I tell you man it hurts I’ve come here to express myself ’cause I’m tired of these chains I am tired of the strains, walking ‘cross the plains, take me in your arms Fire red, the stage I tread Elevate me, celebrate me Extroverted but full of fear The Soviet trumpeter To make them dance as fairies, oh, to make them sing along

So close to fever pitch and oh so close to happiness I’m tempted by their flesh oh I am tempted by their stare, I don’t think you dare ’cause I am such a communist and I’m breaking down inside Though the world is open wide drowning in it’s tide take me in your arms Fire red, the ground I tread Elevate me, celebrate me Extroverted but full of fear The Soviet trumpeter Fire red, the ground I tread Elevate me, celebrate me Extroverted but full of fear The Soviet trumpeter
