Genevieve, put on your jewellery 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 You'll be beautiful for the last time You'll be beautiful for the last time The Friedrichshain, bear proud your injury Your graffiti tags and squatter luxury Because the clean-up 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 (ohh) But poor ugly child, go to the balcony Do you hear the clouds beckon with their falconry? To a sky locked 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 (ohh)
