Egoist
(Falco/Velvet/Ehrlich)
Translation by Jen Marsh

Egoist

Chorus: The whole world revolves around me, for I am an egoist
The person next to me, that's me, I'm an egoist

Always on the top of the list, yeah that's where I stand
You really must excuse me, but I love myself
And although I'm excessively critcal,
I have only myself in mind the entire day.

I've hung a mirror over my bed,
So that my reflection watches over my sleep
I don't want anyone, no, I want people to want me
And I won't stop until I get what I want.

Rep. chorus

Love comes from loving and it begins with me
With a bit of luck, some day it'll be your turn
I give my ego special treatment daily
Usually I give myself everything, and preferably pure, sure

Everyday my image of the world grows larger
I know that myself and I fall in love again
The satrs write out my name up in the heavens
So that it burns bright in all your eyes

Rep. chorus.

What is he, then? What does he have, then? What can he do, then? What
does he want, then? What does he say, then? Who does he think he is?

Rep. chorus
