|
Naked a sin |
|
An army towel, covering my belly |
|
Some of us weep, some of us howl |
|
Knees turn to jelly, but Next! Next! |
|
I was just a child |
|
A hundred like me |
|
I followed a naked body |
|
A naked body followed me, Next! Next! |
|
I was just a child when my innocence was lost |
|
In a mobile army whorehouse |
|
A gift of the army, free of cost. Next! Next! Next! |
|
Me, I really would have liked a little bit of tenderness |
|
Maybe a word, maybe a smile, maybe some happiness, but Next! Next! |
|
Oh, it was not so tragic |
|
and heaven did not fall |
|
But how much at that time |
|
I hated being there at all, Next! Next! |
|
I still recall the brothel trucks, the flying flags |
|
The queer lieutenant slapped our arses |
|
He's thinking we are fags. Next! Next! Next! |
|
I swear on the wet headof my |
|
First case of gonorrhea |
|
It is his ugly voice that I forever fear, Next! Next! |
|
A voice that stinks of whiskey, corpses and of mud |
|
The voice of nations |
|
The thick voice of blood, Next! Next! |
|
Since then each woman I have taken into bed |
|
They seem to lie in my arms |
|
And they whisper in my head, Next! Next! |
|
Oh, the naked and the dead |
|
Could hold each other's hands |
|
As they watch me dream at night |
|
In a dream that nobody understands |
|
And though I am not dreaming in a voice grown dry 'n' hollow |
|
I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed |
|
The Next! Next! |
|
One day I'll cut my legs off |
|
I'll burn myself alive |
|
I'll do anything to get out of life, to survive |
|
Not ever to be next, Next! Next! |
|
Not ev....er... to be next, not ev............er.....ahh |
