I stagger forward

slowly, so thin is the air --


of all my good will.


Ik wankel langzaamIch taumle langsam
vooruit, zo dun is de lucht --vorwärts, so dünn ist die Luft --

van mijn goede wil.meines Wohlwollens.

Zywa Little black angel

There's a little black angel
stuck in the liquor residue
at the bottom of my glass

I like to drink, a glass
is nice company, just
like family, Family

That little black angel is me
It's my good self, my love
stuck at the bottom

of your promises
that you couldn't keep
That rookie mistake

Promises you break
will break you
I know all about it

with the self-invented consolation
that a fallen angel
is still an angel
