Bitte Ein Kuss
Onelinedrawing Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is where those movies make their money
It doesn't hurt, it's more like being thirsty
In lonel airport waves and drugged-up, dimlit raves
This is where those movies make their money

This is where the wisdom hits the airwaves
This is where Yastrzemski makes the big play
In our cars and in our homes, with everything on loan

This is where the wisdom hits the airwaves

It's time for a bit of in-the-bed disco
It's time for a bit of in-the-bed disco

Christiane, bitte ein kuss
Christiane, bitte ein kuss
Christiane

You are so much chaos
I love your chaos
Doin' it is wrestling underwater
You are so much chaos
I love your chaos now

It's time for a bit of in-the-bed disco
It's time for a bit of in-the-bed disco

Christiane, bitte ein kuss
Christiane, bitte ein kuss
Christiane, do you wanna?
Christiane, bitte ein kuss

Her hips, her hips are like seashells
And I can hear the ocean when I listen
Her hips, her hips are like seashells
And I can hear the ocean when I listen
Her hips, her hips are like seashells
And I can hear the ocean when I ooohhh

Christiane, bitte ein kuss
Christiane, bitte ein kuss
Christiane, do you wanna?

Christiane, bitte ein kuss
Christiane
