Sylvia is missing -
Dark stars tattooed
Across her face...
Tiny bruises
Black & blue
The dedication on her arm
Reads LOVE & HATE
Yea yea
Passing through the underground
Sylvia is coming down
The queen has lost her crown
Today...
She wants to fall
Into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself
Run away to London
Lipstick tainted
Powder painted
Perfume in her hair
Run away to London
A thousand cold caresses
Couldn't keep her there
Yea yea
She wants to fall
Into a deep deep sleep
So she can forget herself
The finger prints
Of strangers
On the ugly bedroom floor
Reveal the only traces
Of what Sylvia was for

Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
Mmm, hmm Sylvia
You know you're getting to me now
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Sylvia
You gently touched my heart somehow

Yesterday you made me happy as a child at play
Just like the summer sun that warms my heart
And move on, now you are gone

Whoa, oh, oh, Sylvia
You're everything that I adore
That sweet song, that caught a spark in me more
Tenderly that's how you whisper that you loved me
As if a raindrop kissed my ear and disappeared, now you are gone

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
You know I love my little Sylvia

Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
And yesterday I feel in love with you all the way
Tenderly you lit a spark in my heart, now you are gone

Mmm, hmm, Sylvia
I gently miss Sylvia
I'm crazy 'bout ya, Sylvia
You know I love my little Sylvia

You look just like Sylvia:
Well you look like her to me -
the way she wore her hair then.
Oh, the way she used to be.
I've not seen her for a long time
though I've heard she's still around.
Her father's living with some girl
who's a year younger than her.

She's living in the country now yeah.
Oh, she's trying to get better.
Her beauty was her only crime.
Yeah, I remember Sylvia.

*So keep believing & do what you do,
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better.
& please stop asking
what it's got to do with you.
Oh, keep believing 'cos you know that you deserve better.

Who's this man you're talking to?
Can't you see what he wants to do?
He thinks if he stands near enough then he will look as good as you.
Oh, he don't care about your problems. He just wants to show his friends.
I guess I'm just the same as him -
I just didn't know it then.
I never understood you really
& I know it's too late now.
You didn't ask to be that way.
Oh, I'm sorry Sylvia.

[*Repeat]
So keep believing & do what you do,
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better.
Yeah you know that you deserve better. [x2]
Oh Sylvia.

Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
Mmm, hmm Sylvia
You know you're getting to me now
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Sylvia
You gently touched my heart somehow

Yesterday you made me happy as a child at play
Just like the summer sun that warms my heart
And move on, now you are gone

Whoa, oh, oh, Sylvia
You're everything that I adore
That sweet song, that caught a spark in me more
Tenderly that's how you whisper that you loved me
As if a raindrop kissed my ear and disappeared, now you are gone

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
You know I love my little Sylvia

Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
And yesterday I feel in love with you all the way
Tenderly you lit a spark in my heart, now you are gone

Mmm, hmm, Sylvia
I gently miss Sylvia
I'm crazy 'bout ya, Sylvia
You know I love my little Sylvia

Früher hatte sie ein weißes Kleid
mit roten Blumen drauf
Heute paßt sie leider nicht mehr rein
dabei sah es so gut aus
Früher lachte sie sehr oft und viel
heute weint sie jeden Tag
Sie ist einsam, sie hat keine Freunde,
weil niemand mehr sie mag

Sie ist zu dick, viel zu dick
und sie weiß dass sie nirgends Chancen hat
zu dick, viel zu dick... ..oh Sylvia

Früher war sie in der Schule gut
und sie hatte tolle Noten
Heute schafft sie leider keine Prüfung
und gehört zu den Idioten
Den Führerschein hat sie auch nicht geschafft,
dafür war sie viel zu dumm
Als sie das allererste Mal im Auto saß
fuhr sie einen Polizisten um

Sie ist zu dumm, viel zu dumm
doch sie weiß daß sie keine Chancen hat
zu dumm, viel zu dumm... ..oh Sylvia

Keine Chance für Sylvia

Früher hatte sie mal gute Augen
heute sieht sie fast nichts mehr
Sie trägt eine ziemlich dicke Brille
doch die stört sie sehr
Neulich ließ sie ihre Brille mal zu Hause
'ne Laterne kreuzte ihre Spur
Sie sah Sterne als sie auf die Straße fiel
und ein LKW sie überfuhr

Sie war zu blind, viel zu blind
und sie hatte keine Chance
zu blind, viel zu blind... ..oh Sylvia

Keine Chance für Sylvia

Please, curtains in.
Start us off, you swing first.
Sorry.
I don't know what I said,
but you're crying now again,
and that only makes it worse.
Let me do my job.
Let me do my job.

Sylvia, get your head out of the oven.
Go back to screaming and cursing,
remind me again how everyone betrayed you.
Sylvia, get your head out of the covers.
Let me take your temperature,
you can throw the thermometer back at me,
if that's what you want to do, okay?

Please, please calm down.
Steady out, I'm terrified.
Sorry.
I want us to ally,
but you swing on little knives.
They're only sharp on one side.
Let me do my job.
Let me do my job.

Sylvia, get your head out of the oven.
Go back to screaming and cursing,
remind me again how everyone betrayed you.
Sylvia, get your head out of the covers.
Let me take your temperature,
you can throw the thermometer back at me,
if that's what you want to do, okay?

Sylvia, can't you see what you are doing?
Can't you see I'm scared to speak,
and i hate my voice 'cause it only makes you angry
Sylvia, i only talk when you are sleeping
That's when i tell you everything
And i imagine somehow you're going to hear me
