Dronken door de stad


Dronken door de stad, dronken door de stad
Zonder iets te willen of te moeten
Dronken door de stad, beschonken door de stad
Ik volg heel voorzichtig mijn twee voeten
In de verte een sirene, een taxi snelt voorbij
De wereld gaat z'n gang maar, het is allemaal niet voor mij
Ik schuifel langs de huizen, blijf bij etalages staan
Ik schuifel langs de huizen achter mijn eigen schaduw aan
Dronken door de stad, dronken door de stad
Reclames schreeuwen bier en sigaretten
Dronken door de stad, beschonken door de stad
Even tot het slapen, zonder wetten
Ik zag vannacht de wanhoop in elke vrouwenlach
En zie opeens de zwervers die ik overdag nooit zag
Loop zachtjes in mezelf en mijn iets te kouwe jas
Weemoedig door het neon, wat voorzichtig om een plas
En opeens begrijp ik alle alcoholisten
Die zich dronken drinken tegen wil en dank
Die vanochtend nog bij lange na niet wisten
Hoe kom ik voor vanavond aan mijn portie drank
Om de wereld in het roze te bekijken
Om te vergeten wat er elke dag gebeurt
Om de zeikers niet te horen zeiken
Om niet te horen waarover wordt gezeurd
Ja, opeens begrijp ik alle alcoholisten
Met een doel: de drank en geen moraal
Niet meedoen aan het spel der lage listen
Niet meedoen aan het vervolgverhaal
Drinken om de dagen door te dromen
Zonder regels en zonder politiek
Drinken om het leven door te komen
Zonder alchohol: trillerig en ziek
Drinken om je lichaam te verwarmen
De drank is je kachel en je huur
De jenever brandt zich door je darmen
De jenever is het water voor het vuur
Drinken om geen krant te hoeven lezen
Geen foto's, geen realiteit
Drinken om geen oorlog meer te vrezen
Drinken zonder schuld, zonder verwijt
D
