Beautiful for the Last Time - Seeming

Genevieve, put on your jewelry

And hide that handgun where they will not see

Don’t mind your wrinkles, don’t mind your age

Because the time has come to take the stage

In that black empire dress you stole

Now bravely face the night patrol

And you’ll be beautiful for the last time

You’ll be beautiful for the last time

Friedrichshain, bear proud your injury

Your graffiti tags and squatter luxury

Bcause the cleanup crew is here to scrub the past

And a civilized future is coming fast

With the traces of '45 and '68

Forever painted over by the state

So be beautiful for the last time

Come on and be beautiful for the last time

But poor ugly child, go to the balcony

Do you hear the clouds beckon with their falconry?

To a skylocked world will you show your face

Where your burns and bends are silk and lace?

Will you trade your body for falling snow?

Will you blanket the ground below

Where you’ll be beautiful for the first time?

You’ll be beautiful for the first time
