Lyrics:
Werner Herzog,
Werner Herzog, where are you
who are you and how do you do
all the things you do
Werner Herzog, a thousand stories,
all are true
Werner Herzog, this is an aria
just for you
In the 20th century,
a baby was born in Bavaria
and a wise woman prophesied:
He will be big in America
So when he was three years old
he stole his first camera
and made films that would make him
one of the Gods of cinema
Even dwarves have started small
but he started big
he walked to Albania and Africa
and that’s where he got sick
He died but three days later
he returned from the dead
and said: I’ve wrestled a film from the claws
of the devil and it’s in my head
But now I will walk back
to my native Germany
I brought things from the darkness
that these people need to see
Signs of life and hearts of glass
and screams of stone
the wrath of God and
the queen of the desert and rescue dawn
So he walked through the years and through rivers
and mountains and over the seas
and shot lots of fiction
and even more documentaries
walked to Paris to save Lotte Eisner
and gave her eight more years
and he’s still on the road and
you never know where next he appears
holding lessons in Darkness and
picknicks in places that God forbid
but see for yourself, we made
a clip of the things he did
Werner Herzog,
Werner Herzog, this is you
please keep going,
there is a lot more stuff to do
don’t jump into one more cactus,
don’t eat your other shoe
this aria is through, but Wim Wenders
will come now and sing for you
Werner Herzog, we wrote
this serenade just for you
and we did it without mentioning Kinski,
because we wanted to
This was an aria for Werner Herzog,
may he live long and strong
Please, Wim Wenders,
come on stage and finish this song.
