Bass

By hitchhiking or by motorbike

Or by dodging the fare

I’ve always followed you somehow

Well, back then I never missed a concert of yours

And by night I couldn’t sleep

And if I was able to sleep, I dreamt of you

You played the bass

In every concert hall of the region

I’ve always been sitting in the first row

And you were exciting me so, so much

Bass

You were a goddess in my eyes

And sometimes you gave that look

And I thought: “Damn!”

And then I was totally strung out again

I’ve been with you all the time

And that convinced you in the end

We wanted to stay together forever

And, generally, that thing with you, it was so great

You can impossibly describe it

And now you’re living in another place

And your bass is put in the basement

Come on, get that thing out once more and play it as lovely as you used to

You played the bass

In every concert hall of the region

I’ve always been sitting in the first row

And you were exciting me so, so much

Bass

You were a goddess in my eyes

And sometimes you gave that look

And I thought: “Damn!”

And then I was totally strung out again

Bass
