You watched me dance from right to left
You watched me dance from left to right
And every time I learned the steps
You changed them overnight
Every twist every turn
Every waltz I danced alone
Now the steps are old and worn
You watched me dance.

Originally an over-long acapella song about the unenviable lives of East Germans who have spent their lives adapting to drastic regime changes.

Written before the film 'The Lives Of Others', but could have been soundtracked to it.
Read Anna Funder's 'Stasiland'.
