Sie zieht sich die Kopfhörer über die Ohren, stellt alle Parameter der Kamera ein, lässt sich treiben, sich hineinziehen und sich durchschieben. Der Menschenstrom in den engen Gassen könnte sich fast anfühlen, wie damals, als sie tanzten, durch die Nächte. Mit 15, 16, 17 … in den dunklen Räumen der Tanzsäle, Diskotheken, eng und verschwitzt. Musik laut bis zum Anschlag, im Rhythmus wippen, andere Körper spüren, ein Gefühl von Freiheit und Unendlichkeit, diese Nächte sollten nie zu Ende gehen, wurden herbeigesehnt. Bunte Lichter an allen Ecken, Discokugeln drehen sich und werfen Lichtpunkte auf alle Wände. Die Tanzfläche eine Bühne. Beseelt, erschöpft, todmüde nach Stunden der Tanzlust ins Bett fallen mit einem Dauerrauschen in den Ohren und zertanzten Füßen. In den Träumen flackern die Lichter hinter den Augen weiter, die Körper schmiegen sich noch einmal aneinander, die Welt ist schön.
Little China girl
David Bowie
I could escape this feeling with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing
I’m a mess without my little China girl
Wake up in the morning, where’s my little China girl
I hear her heart’s beating loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down
I feel tragic like I’m Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl
I stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It’s in the white of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
You know it
I’ll give you television
I’ll give you eyes of blue
I’ll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says,
„Oh baby just you shut your mouth.“
She says, „Sh.“
She says, „Sh.“
She says
She says
And when I get excited
My little China girl says,
„Oh baby just you shut your mouth.“
And when I get excited
My little China girl says,
„Oh baby just you shut your mouth.“
She says, „Sh.“
She says
Little China girl
Little China girl
Little China girl
Little China girl
Little China girl

It was a theme she had
T’Pau
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command
It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girl’s dreams
That flew too far away
Don’t push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don’t wish too hard because they may come true
And you can’t help them
You don’t know what you might have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Come from greed
Never born of the seed
Took a life from a barren hand
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of man
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mind
Don’t push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don’t wish too hard because they may come true
And you can’t help them
You don’t know what you might have set upon yourself
China in your hand
Whoa your hand
Your hand
Don’t push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don’t wish too hard because they may come true
And you can’t help them
You don’t know what you might have set upon yourself
But you shouldn’t push too hard no no
Don’t push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don’t wish too hard because they may come true
and you can’t help them
You don’t know what you might have set upon yourself
Because they’re only dreams
And you shouldn’t push too hard no no

Yesterday I got so old
The Cure
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on, go on
Just walk away
Go on, go on
Your choice is made
Go on, go on
And disappear
Go on, go on
Away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn’t be me and be her
Inbetween
Without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back, come back
Don’t walk away
Come back, come back
Come back today
Come back, come back
What can’t you see
Come back, come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn’t be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

It was down in Chinatown
Amanda Lear
That I met the opium Queen
Baby face girl from Shanghai
Never smile and never cry
She now rules the underworld down in Chinatown
She runs all the opium den down in Chinatown
Bring her your gold, bring her your worries
And when life gets a bit too dreary to stand
Give a ring to the Queen of Chinatown
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
She’ll pick you up when you’re feeling down
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
And she’ll soon blow your blues away
It was down in Chinatown
When I met the opium Queen
Baby face girl from Shanghai never smiled and never cried
When love isn’t what it sounds go to Chinatown
When your friends have let you down got to Chinatown
When life is pain, when love is sorrow
And it gets more than you can possibly stand
Give a ring to the Queen of Chinatown
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
She’ll pick you up when you’re feeling down
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
And she will blow your blues away
It was down in Chinatown
When I met the opium Queen
Baby face girl from Shanghai
Never smiled and never cried
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
When your life gets a bit dreary
When you’re down
When you’re feeling low
Give a ring to the Queen of Chinatown
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
She’ll help you out
She’ll pick you up
She’ll sniff your blues away
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
She’ll pick you up when you’re feeling down
Go down, go down
To the Queen of Chinatown
And she will blow your blues awayIt was down in Chinatown that I met the opium Queen

We walked these streets like kings, our faces in the wind
B.O.Y.
And everywhere we were, we made the city sing
We sang „forever young,“ we had our fingers crossed
And when the city sleeps, it dreams of us
Yeah, it still does
Oh, love, it changes shapes; it glows in many shades
We won’t be gone as long as our echoes resonate
We need no photographs; the past’s not only past
I find us everywhere and that’s how the magic lasts
Cause everywhere we’ve been, we have been leaving traces
They won’t ever disappear
We were here, we were here, we were really here
And the rains get rough, but time can’t wash us off
We won’t ever disappear
We were here, it was really love
Everywhere we’ve been, we have been leaving traces
They won’t ever disappear
We were here, we were here, we were really here
And the rains get rough, but time can’t wash us off
We won’t ever disappear
We were here, it was really love
It’s only little things: footmarks and fingerprints, a treasure hunt through town
It’s full of evidence, our monuments are all around
Everything’s on the move; the paint is wet, all colors are new
But if you look carefully, you’ll see us shining through
Cause everywhere we’ve been, we have been leaving traces
They won’t ever disappear
We were here, we were here, we were really here
And the rains get rough, but time can’t wash us off
We won’t ever disappear
We were here, it was really love
Everywhere we’ve been, we have been leaving traces
Everywhere we’ve been, we have been leaving traces
And the rains get rough, but time can’t wash us off
We won’t ever disappear
We were here, it was really love
We were here, we were here, we were really here
We were here, we were here, we were really here
We were here, we were here, we were really here
We were here, we were here, we were really here
We were here, we were here, we were really here
We’re in the air, we’re in the water
From the rooftops down to the pier
I’ll never walk these streets alone
We were here, we were here, we were really here
Engraved into waves; invisible ink on the walls
We were here, we were here, we were really here
