Beautiful for the Last Time

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
 And 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 (oh)
 ♪
 But poor ugly child go to the balcony (balcony, balcony, 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)
 Beautiful
