Das Apartment
Lyrics
An apartment is a useful and sensible thing It gives us a home What is most winning in the apartment is the somewhat arbitrary proportions And the well-coordinated colors
Beneath the broad window and the wood-paneled wall Is a bench whose back and seat are also made of wood A white block of plastic services as a table between the Turkish cushions The room he shelved to the left with books and a T.V. set are assessible from both sides The cabled side is made completely of glass and affords a full view
On the floor, a long-haired, radiant wool carpet The woman is the most dangerous weapon at the apartment As everyone who has learned a little about psychology knows
Since people, whether large or small, are constantly coming up short in their alienated environments in matters of loving care They surge back to their apartment, carrying a huge package of huge expectations for loving care The woman polishes the contradictions away She is a gigantic "I did it for you" Chiseled out of a single block Gigantic "I did it for you"
Shimmy now, Jimmy
