LILT: Mann Gegen Mann 1.0

I have to say that this is one of my favourites so far. The word-play is sheer genius, and lots of fun. Once again, no helpful linking to the music and Jeremy's translations, but I'm sure you can handle that. The three lines still in German are the ones I haven't ironed the wrinkles out of yet:

Destiny gave me a lift
Sent to me a loving gift
Gay abandon taking flight
Close to skin, and far from eye
I take my own fate in my hands
My sensuality is manned

Where fresh water meets its fate
Because it self-salinates
The little prince is in my thoughts
A king with no queen in his court
When women bark up the wrong tree
The bright world is all at sea

Man against man
My skin is man's forever
Man against man
Like and like must stick together
Man against man
Two masters hold my tether
Man against man
Like and like must stick together

I am off the beaten track
I am every hidden crack
No member absent from my team
When lust is hard on my heels
My kin say to them I'm dead
I am every father's dread

Man against man
My skin is man's forever
Man against man
Like and like must stick together

Man against man
But some days my heart freezes
Man against man
There the cold tongues will beat

Gayah!

Mich interessiert kein Gleichgewicht
Mir scheint die Sonne ins Gesicht
But some days my heart freezes
There the cold tongues will beat

Gayah!
Mann gaygen Mann
