Rigoni-Schoenherz - Where Is Victor? lyrics

Someone has seen him in the beginning of spring standing alone on the highway with a small travelling bag. He wanted eastwards he came as far as Katmandu an there he found some friends. When he drank a gla** of water he got fever and spewed each food three weeks long. At home they said it had to come like that he should have listened to what he was told. Someone has seen him he lived in a house with junkies and dealers in the mountains. They made a big deal but at the border of Turkey he was caught and went to jail in Istanbul. And there has been a jailer a h*mos**ual who liked him too much. Victor couldn't follow his trip so he was beaten and he got noo food. Someone has seen him when he left Istanbul he was as pale as d**h thin as a skeleton and he had eyes that were buldging from his head. With him a girl and all they had was just his small travelling bag. She helped him to get into the bus that's going to the Middle East. He wanted to relax and find some money for both of them. Someone has seen him on the island of Mykonos living with his girl on Paradise Beach. One night he got trouble with a flipped out American guy he knocked out his brains and had to escape. She stayed back on the island and a few months later when she was alone on her long way homewards she had his child in a desert of black stones. They thought that he was dead they thought that he had a control clock card in a factory they thought he was a millionaire they thought that he had become a preacher man. At home he is the favourite talk of the canteen but one fine day someone rushes in and he says: "someone has seen him in a monastery in the Far East he schaved his head eats only rice and he's meditateing all day long".
