The Writer Lyrics
The other side of the room
An empty bottle lies broken.
Purple faces are sure, of snow white sheets to soak in.
His clothes are spread around
They smell of perspiration.
A half eaten meal attracts the flies attention.
Do I Do I Do I Do I Hear the man's cries.
Do I Do I Do I Do I Look in his eyes.
Do I Do I Do I Do I Care if he dies
Do I Do I Do I Do I ?
Take a paper towel and place it over his head.
Phone up reception and report him as dead.
Open up the window and expose him to light.
Push it all away from me...No that can't be right.
A continental breeze has set the blinds in motion.
Brings just a hint of change from the Atlantic Ocean.
The ancient church bell rings. Defies the march of progress.
The senoritas said you were too young to notice.
Do I Do I Do I Do I Hear the man's cries.
Do I Do I Do I Do I Look in his eyes.
Do I Do I Do I Do I Care if he dies
Do I Do I Do I Do I ?
Take a paper towel and place it over his head.
Phone up reception and report him as dead.
Open up the window and expose him to light.
Push it all away from me...No that can't be right.

Do I Do I Do I Do I Look in his eyes.
Do I Do I Do I Do I Care if he dies
Do I Do I Do I Do I ?
Phone up reception and report him as dead.
Open up the window and expose him to light.
Push it all away from me...No that can't be right.

Open up the window and expose him to light.
Push it all away from me...No that can't be right.

A writer is found dead. Maybe he drank too much (bottle) Maybe he had a writers block and committed suicide? (White papers) Maybe he was killed by the gouvernment? (Because he brought a hint of change and set the blinds in motion)
The finder is not sure, whether he should inform the authorities. Thats a typical twist in Fischer Z songs, leaving everything insecure and doubtful. Not their best song, but very interresting lyrics.
Atlantic, senoritas... could happen in Argentina. Maybe about some real writer. Any idea, anyone?
I should read more exactly: white sheets. Purple stains. red wine, oder blood?

The singer is supposedly too young to know this- Argentina in the early 70s junta dictatorship? - but knows it anyway.
