Wir zieh'n wie Karavanen durch Schluchten der Stadt
➔ Verb conjugation (ziehen) in present tense, comparative 'wie'

-
Auf der Suche nach Oasen durchqueren wir die Nacht

Scheinwerfer leuchten, Motoren brüllen laut
➔ Parallel structure, verb conjugation (leuchten, brüllen) in present tense.

Und der Himmel reißt auf
➔ Separable verb 'aufreißen' in present tense.

-
Wir tanzen im Regen und er wäscht den Morgen fort
➔ Conjunction 'und', verb conjugation (tanzen, waschen) in present tense, 'fortwaschen'
➔ "Und" is the conjunction "and". Both verbs are in present tense. "Fortwaschen" means "to wash away", with "fort" acting as a prefix similar to a separable verb, though it is not separated here as "fort" is not stressed.

Zehntausend Tropfen sehen im Mond Licht wie Smarovski, steine aus
➔ Comparative construction "wie", verb conjugation (sehen) in present tense, noun declension (Steine)
➔ The droplets are compared to Swarovski stones using "wie" (like). "Sehen" is conjugated in the third-person plural (sie sehen - they see) and refers back to the "Zehntausend Tropfen" (ten thousand drops). "Steine" is a plural noun.

Für immer zusammen, die Füße im Wasser, der Kopf in den Wolken und das Herz in der Hand
