Dr. Mabuse

(album: A Secret Wish - 1985)

Why does it hurt when my heart misses the beat?

The man without shadow promises you the world
Tell him your dreams and fanatical needs
He's buying them all with cash

Sell him your soul sell him your soul sell him your soul
Never look back never look back
Sell him your soul sell him your soul
Never look back
Never look back never look back
Sell him your soul

He's devoted to the devil fascinated by crime
Glamorous death is his destination eternal passion his gain

Sell him your soul sell him your soul sell him your soul
Never look back never look back
Sell him your soul sell him your soul
Never look back
Never look back
Sell him your soul sell him your soul
Never look back

Why does it hurt? Why-why does it hurt?

He's a satanic gambler, but you just the pool
And you've already lost the chance of your lifetime
So don't be a fool don't be a fool
Kein Zurueck fuer dich there's no way back
Sell him your soul

(Warum schmerzt es
Warum schmerzt es
Wenn mein Herz den Schlag verpasst?)

Don't be a fool...
Never look back...
Never look back...

Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?
