Lyrics[]
Remember, Mr. Klein?
Paris, Roue De Bac.
Number 8, second floor.
Run you upstairs,
You knock on the door
The door is open
I wait for you
For you
I wait for you
Night and day
The room is empty
The bed unmade
A cigarette burning,
In the ashtray
Your wife has left you
Cold shivers
Running up your spine
The water/walls are shaking
Wake up, Mr. Klein
Wake up, Mr. Klein
I wait for you
For you
I wait for you
For youuuu
I wait for you
Night and day
You run on the street
Looking through every bar
Every west home/restaurant
She’s not there
You find yourself
Next to a telephone
You dial a number
The number of your wife
No answer…
No answer, Mr. Klein
Send your conversation
Your conversation with the devil
You can’t take it anymore!
You are running by the river
Standing on the roof of revenge
The revenge rising in her body
The body of your wife!
The body of your wife!
I wait for you
For you
I wait for you
For youuuu
I wait for you
Nigh and day
You have a knife in your hand
And blood is running down you sleeve
You killed your wife!
You killed your wife, Mr. Klein
Wake up, Mr. Klein
