Take a zoom
(Esther Ofarim sings it 1981)
(by Eberhard Schoener)

Sitting home with television
looking at the tube
while outside is serene
it's the fullmoon-night
it is the night of fullmoon.

Take the zoom
to bring the moon down
light it up, until you see
it looks powerful now and radiant
where is the magic now for you.

The 8 o'clock news is running
the show is going on
the magic of TV takes over
the mind of you and us all

We kneel down and
we start praying:
Father oh Lord in the tube
take away all our strength
and our power-
it is the night of fullmoon

The 10 o'clock news is running
the next show is coming soon
while outside is serene
it's the fullmoon-night
it is the night of fullmoon

Take the zoom
to bring the moon down
light it up, until you see
it looks powerful,
bright and radiant.
Where is the magic now for you?

The 10 o'clock news is over
the next show is coming soon
while outside it is serene
it is the night of fullmoon.

Take the zoom
to bring the moon down
light ist up, until you see
it looks dreadful now and lifeless (it looks powerful, bright and radiant)
where is the magic now for you?
