I'll call you thing
And place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars
And gripped in the arms of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away
You talk about day
I'm talking about night time
You talk about day
I'm talking about night time
You talk about day
I'm talking about night time
You dance with your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings that change the faces of man
You're a diamond browed hag
You're a gutter gaunt gangster
You talk about day
I'm talking about nighttime
You gotta look fine
Be primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
Your diamond hands will be stacked with roses
I call you thing and place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars and gripped in the arms of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away
You talk about day
I'm talking about nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talking about nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talking about nighttime
You are my night
Put my dogs to fright
I wanna be your friend
I wanna call you I wanna ball you all night long
The city's shaking I ain't faking baby
This is the end
I'm overloaded my head's exploded
I wanna to get you and then
Come on honey let's bless our luck
A little prayer for you to suck
Here comes mommy with her Tommy gun
Open wounds just make her croon
Double up on some margarine
Lick your baby and we got fun
Me I funk but I don't care
I ain't no square with my cork screw hair
And place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars
And gripped in the arms of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away
I'm talking about night time
You talk about day
I'm talking about night time
You talk about day
I'm talking about night time
And pull the strings that change the faces of man
You're a diamond browed hag
You're a gutter gaunt gangster
I'm talking about nighttime
You gotta look fine
Be primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
I call you thing and place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars and gripped in the arms of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away
I'm talking about nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talking about nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talking about nighttime
Put my dogs to fright
I wanna be your friend
I wanna call you I wanna ball you all night long
The city's shaking I ain't faking baby
This is the end
I'm overloaded my head's exploded
I wanna to get you and then
Come on honey let's bless our luck
A little prayer for you to suck
Here comes mommy with her Tommy gun
Open wounds just make her croon
Double up on some margarine
Lick your baby and we got fun
Me I funk but I don't care
I ain't no square with my cork screw hair

I think it's about strippers or whores or nun stripper whores. Best guess. Great song! One of KMFDM's best....
This was long before Lucia became a permanent member, so "I'll call, you'll sing" probably describes how he enlisted female vocalists. It sounds like a nihilistic joke about getting so famous that they don't give a shit whether they die from their own decadence and/or kinks. Margarine? I heard something about Sascha and foodplay...
