selling your love as manifesto setting your heart as capital I'm not sure that's a good investment cause I have something, something for Karl
I'm really flattered, you said I'm special that I'm like Hegel among the pulp I cannot help it, I have this passion passion for red, passion for Karl
a spectre's haunting my thoughts my mind spectre of red, spectre divine, I must refrain, it isn't right I cannot help it I'm in love with Karl, in love with Karl ...
you said you'd shoot down the brightest star, that's really lovely, but too bourgeois, that you will treat me, like I'm your queen but I'm disgusted by royalty
a spectre's haunting my thoughts my mind spectre of red, spectre divine, I must refrain, it isn't right I cannot help it I'm in love with Karl, in love with Karl ...
oh sweet illusion don't ever die, my thoughts are red, I'm loving Karl
