Well, this is such a sad affairnI've opened up my heart so many timesnBut now it's closednnOh my dearnEvery salted tearnIt wringsnBitter-sweet applausennBut when the show's in full swingnEvery once in awhilenHigh stepping chorus linesnMean I'm forgettingnMein lullaby - liebchennnHow rich in contrastnLove can benSometimes I'm quite amusednTo see it twist and turnnTo taste both sweet and drynThese vintage yearsnLovers you consume, my friendnAs others their winennNein - das ist nichtnDas ende der WeltnGestrandet an Leben und KunstnUnd das spiel geht weiternWie man weissnNoch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehenn(Translation of German lyrics:nNo - this is not the end of the worldnStranded because of life and artnAnd the game goes on as you knownSchoum....see you)nnAnd now, as you turn to leavenYou try to force a smilenAs if to compensatenThen you break down and cry
