Walking past the signs 'Former
Red Light District' I know I'm dreaming
of a better future
I can imagine it much more easily
than what it is like
to be a man
who buys the use of a body
without any notion what's wrong
I must arm myself against him
Walls? Dullness? Claws?
And company, then I can
laugh at jealous eyes
and the greedy ones
looking away from me
to someone else - no one
will I greet as my master
everyone welcomes me, Servus
where there was once war

Servus = slave (schiavo in Venetian slang) >> announcement of the slave that he is available >> servant >> general greeting in Austria (Servus) and Italy (ciao)
