Lyrics of Love Is a Killer - Madsen, Walter Schrefels

Love Is a Killer (original)

Ihre Tränen zieren den Asphalt
Nur die Straße gibt ihr Halt
Sie sagt: «Du löschst mich aus!»
Und er fährt sie stumm nach Haus
Er fährt, fährt, fährt und sie will es nicht verstehen:
«Du kannst nicht einfach gehen, oh du kannst nicht einfach gehen!»
Er fährt, fährt, fährt und auf den endlosen Alleen hörte er noch ihr Flehen
Love, love, love is a killer and she’s back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer — dressed in black
Er wartet drüben in der Bar
Mit ihr war er oft da
Wieder weint er in sein Glas
Nur ein falscher Blick — das war’s
Er ballt seine Faust und zertrümmert das Klavier:
«Ich gehöre doch zu ihr, gehöre doch zu ihr.»
Sie schmeißen ihn raus und er brüllt vor der Tür: «Sie gehört doch zu mir!»
Love, love, love is a killer and she’s back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer — dressed in black
Love, love, love is a killer and she’s back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer
Love, love, love is a killer and she’s back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer — dressed in black

(translation)

Her tears adorn the asphalt
Only the road gives her support
She says: «You erase me!»
And he drives her home in silence
He drives, drives, drives and she doesn't want to understand:
"You can't just go, oh you can't just go!"
He drives, drives, drives and on the endless avenues he still heard her pleading
Love, love, love is a killer and she's back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer — dressed in black
He's waiting over in the bar
He was often there with her
Again he cries into his glass
Just one wrong look — that's it
He clenches his fist and smashes the piano:
"I belong to her, I belong to her."
They throw him out and he yells in front of the door: "She belongs to me!"
Love, love, love is a killer and she's back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer — dressed in black
Love, love, love is a killer and she's back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer
Love, love, love is a killer and she's back
Love, love, love is a killer dressed in black
Save, save, save me from another heart attack
Love is a killer — dressed in black
