{Dear Herr Steephle, Moritz

I've spent the entire day thinking about your note

Truly it touched me, it did

That you'd think of me as a friend}



{Of course I was saddened to hear

That your exams came off

Rather less well than you'd hoped

And that you will not be promoted come fall}



{And yet I must say straight away that

Fleeing to America is hardly the solution

And even if it were

I cannot provide the money you request}



Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh well, fine

Not like it's even worth the time

But still you know, you wanted more

Sorry it won't change, been there before



{You would do me wrong, Herr Steephle

To read in to my refusal any lack of affection

On the contrary as Melchior's mother

I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss}



The thing that sucks, okay for me

A thousand bucks, I'm like scott free

And I need pleads, that's all I need

Get real, Jose, by now you know the score



{Should you like, I am ready to write to your parents

I will try to convince them that no one

Could've worked harder last semester

And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current was fortune

Could have the gravest possible effect}



You wanna laugh, it's too absurd

You start to ask, can't hear a word

You're gonna crash and burn, right tell me more



{Still Herr Steephle, one thing in your letter disturbed me

You're a, what shall we call it

Veiled threat that should escape not be possible

You would take your own life}



Okay so now we do the play

Act like Ilse'll care, no way

You'll wright my folks, well, okay

Babe, that's how it goes



{My dear boy, the world is filled with men

Businessmen, scientists, scholars even

Who have done rather poorly in school

And yet gone on to brilliant careers

Consider for example our friend}



They freak or want, you toe the line

You tell your soul, just kill some time

Will it quake, it will until

They don't



They're not my home, not anymore

Not like they so were before

Still I'll split and they'll, like

Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows?



{In any case I assure you that

Your present misfortune

Will have no effect on my feelings for you

Or on your relationship with Melchior}



Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, well, fine

Not like it's even worth the time

But still you know, you wanted more

Okay, so nothing's changed, heard that before



You wanna laugh, it's too absurd

You've start to ask, can't hear a word

You're gonna crash and burn, right tell me more



You start to cave, you start to cry

You try to run, nowhere to hide

Wanna to crumble up and close that door



{So head high here Herr Steephle

And do let me hear from you soon

In the meantime I am unchangingly and most fondly yours

Fanny Gabor}



Just fuck it right enough, that's it

You'll still go on, well, for a bit

Another day of utter shit



And then there were none

And then there were none

And then there were none

And then there were none
