Vor unserem Fenster, direkt an der Straße stand ein ganzes Bäumeleben lang,
eine alte Eiche, die Rinde in Falten,
denn sie dachte tagtäglich daran:
Was wird aus mir werden wenn ich mal sterbe?
Was passiert wenn man mich einmal fällt?
Kehre ich dann als Pressspanplattenmöbelstück,
zurück in diese Welt?
Oder verbrennt man mich an 'nem Lagerfeuer und während ich verkohl,
spielt ein pubertärer Halbling für sein Mädchen Wonderwall?
Wischt man sich mit mir den Hintern ab?
Wird auf mich masturbiert?
Sperma auf 'ner Leiche,
in anderem Kontext wäre das weird!
Das darf mir nicht passier'n!
Dafür will ich nicht sterben!
Kann sich bitte ein Hippie an mir festketten, ich darf niemals gerodet werden!
Und sollte es dennoch gescheh'n,
macht aus mir buntes Papier
und die Band die dort hinter dem Fenster lebt, schmeißt eines Tages mit mir.
Buntes Papier,
Gestanzt und gelocht,
Buntes Papier,
schau wie es tanzt in der Luft,
Buntes Papier,
auch wenn dein Leben hart ist,
Buntes Papier,
Spaß auf zellulose Basis.
Vor unserem Fenster, direkt an der Straße,
legte man einst neue Wege an,
doch verteitelte eben jenen, neu gemachten Pläne,
unsere Eiche die ehern dort stand.
Sie schliffen die Äxte, sie ölten die Sägen,
ein Knacken, ein Bersten, so fiel sie dahin.
Jetzt liegt auf der Straße, vor unserem Fenster,
die Leiche uns'rer Eichennachbarin.
Der mächtige Stamm, die tiefgrüne Krone,
wie konnten sie sich nur erdreisten?
Wir stürzten hinaus zu ihr auf die Straße,
um, Äste-Hilfe zu leisten:
Wir verbanden den Stamm mit Mullrinden,
wir haben Harz-Druck-Massage probiert.
Aber erst auf Mund zu Astloch-Beatmung,
hat die Eiche nochmal reagiert.
Noch einmal bäumt sie sich auf,
und man hörte sie ganz leise sagen:
Ich wollte doch immer noch die Welt seh'n,
doch hab irgendwie Wurzeln geschlagen.
Ein letztes Mal Fotosynthese,
dann ermattete schließlich ihr Grün.
Seitdem ist sie mit uns unterwegs
und wir zeigen ihr Städte und Bühnen, als:
Buntes Papier,
Gestanzt und gelocht,
Buntes Papier,
schau wie es tanzt in der Luft,
Buntes Papier,
auch wenn dein Leben hart ist,
Buntes Papier,
Spaß auf zellulose Basis.
Und wir singen unsere Lieder
auch nur ihr zu Ehre denn,
dies ist kein Konzert, dies ist ein Requiem.
Für die Eiche vor unserem Fenster,
die nach all diesen Jahr'n,
hinabstieg in das Reich der Toten,
um in den Himmel aufzufahr'n.
Im Namen des Vaters, im Namen des Sohnes, und im Namen des heiligen Geistes,
macht auch aus uns einmal buntes Papier
und wann immer es euch schlecht geht,
nehmt eine Hand voll und schmeißt es.
Buntes Papier,
Gestanzt und gelocht,
Buntes Papier,
schau wie es tanzt in der Luft,
Buntes Papier,
auch wenn dein Leben hart ist,
Buntes Papier,
Spaß auf zellulose Basis.
