Ein Narr sagt dankeschön

A fool says thank you
You were so good to me
But even a fool does not want to be a fool forever
I laughed with you
And had fun with you
I gave you a piece of my soul to play with so pretend

A fool says thank you
It's time for me now
To realize that the makeup no longer suits me
So let me pull slowly
I already know where
I finally stroll to the golden gate through which freedom blows

And when I stand in front of him, I push it hard
And run out into that unknown world
And do everything a fool dreams of
I don’t want to be good or evil
Not proud not brave
Not tidy not efficient
Not exemplary not important
Just be myself

A fool says thank you
Try to understand me
I also admit it was very nice to be a fool
Soon another fool will come
That will pass the time
Who laughs with you and loves with you
It will always be like this
A fool says thank you
Maybe I'll see soon
I am not allowed through this gate to freedom
Then I'll be standing here again
And knock on your door
And please let me be your fool
And please let me be your big fool forever

And please let me be your big fool forever
