Big shiny jet plane in the sky
Please drop us off as we go by
We're an American band
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan
Faxes from the veiwers on tv
Karioke hokey-pokey on the screen
Dig my toes into the Pacific sand
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan
Yeah, 20 tonnes of Sushi-lovin' fun
(Yum yum)
The kiddy line will thank you one by one
(Arigato)
Please come out to see us when we land
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan
Yeah, hi ya!
Big shiny jet plane in the sky
Please drop us off as we go by
We're an American band
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan
Faxes from the veiwers on tv
Karioke hokey-pokey on the screen
Dig my toes into the Pacific sand
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan [x3]
Yeah, 20 tonnes of Sushi-lovin' fun
(Yum yum)
The kiddy line will thank you one by one
(Arigato)
Please come out to see us when we land
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan [x25]
Yeah, hi ya!
Wo-wo-ho-wo-wo-ho-ho-ho
I saw a young man by a telephone
He was sitting alone in the rain
I said, "Hey, young man what you doing here?"
He said, "Sir, I'm going insane"
See I love an American beauty
But nobody here understands
So he looked to the sky with resentment in his eyes
And said, "Lord, why am I in Japan?"
Lord why am I in Japan?
He told me a story about yesterday
How he walked in the search of a friend
But nobody came to his rescue
So he came to his bitter end
He pulled me close and said
"They all stopped and stared
As I walked down the street alone
And nobody knew my name
Nobody knew my name"
I said, "Young man I know where you're going
And young man I know where you've been
But I've been in this land for a lifetime, it seems,
And I'm never to come back again
No, I'm never to come back again
So I turned and I gave him my blessing
And I left him alone in the rain
But I had to just stop and laugh at myself
Still nobody knows my name
Featuring: The Lonely Island
Whoa!
I can't believe we're in Japan!
Look at all the lights!
The food!
The people!
Wow!
We're three cool white friends in Japan (Japan!)
We've never been to Japan
So we wrote a song about the three of us in Japan
And our label has to pay for it
Here we are at our five star hotel
The one from LOST IN TRANSLATION (In Japan!)
The views are amazing
And their champagne waiting
Because that's how we wrote it (Yummy!)
And now the label has to pay for the video (yay!)
And pay for everything that we say (no matter what!)
For example I'll be getting a massage right now
And I'll be drinking some sake (So expensive!) (Who cares?)
Here we are at the most expensive sushi restaurant in Japan (mmm!)
And now we're at Tokyo Disneyland
And now we're in Hawaii for one random shot that our label has to pay for!
Cause we're three cool white friends in Japan (In Asia!)
The fact that we're white isn't why we're friends
But we are white, and we're friends (In Japan)
At this point in the video we'll be super drunk (WEEEE!)
Standing near some kind of Dragon
And then we'll buy some stinky used girls panties
Out of one of those pervert vending machines
Now we've seen sumo wrestling live
Unless we get dropped by our label
Cause we're three white douchebags in Japan (That's us!)
It's all part of our master plan
To get some much needed R&R;
At the expense of Universal Records
Wow Look at all this Japanese money
It's called Yen
I heard it's worth more than American money
Let's dump it in the river!
(phone rings)
Moshi Moshi
Guys it's the label
This video's really expensive and-
BYE!!
Pokemon!
Dump it in the River!
Our rental car!
Dump it in the River!
This old guy!
Dump him in the river!
Time waits for no one
No holy saviour came again
It's here now, my old friend
And it's time to go home...
Back to the stars
Now I know how it sounds
But I know how I feel
And this boredom kicks into the aligned
The invisible and the divine
And the lights upon the hill at night
They have followed me young
And into tomorrow No time for you
Time alone
This time I think I've found it
Goodbye my love
It came for me
I'm going back to Japan
Life is like a rollercoaster
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship that's going nowhere
If you stop, you'll end up somewhere
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands
Now everybody wants to go to Californ-i-a
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone else's wife and kids (kids and wife)
But they'll be bringing you the same old shit (strife)
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everyone wants to go to Jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake ya
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say "Thank you"
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everybody wants to go to Iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
JAPAN
All the delusions are real
I’ve seen it all before
That’s why you took us from here
Where no one knows who we are
Tracing maps
Finding a park whatsoever
We can’t find it any longer
Near a close big square
How can one care if we’re so
Surprised by the end
Can we care if we were so…
And you know what you cannot hide
And you know what you asked for
We’ll trace all the neon lights
Can we care if we were so…
And you know what you can’t decide
And you know what were meant for
We’ll trace lines up in the sky
Come on
Come on
Come on
Getting it on
Placing tracks
Small leaded panes made of silver
We should try all the frames outside
Near the glass hotel
How can one care if we’re so
When every day is something new
When every day comes with a hope of finding you
Where every day the dusk rise and the ray falls down
I can feel
The cold calm and the chills
The fear's creeping up on my skin
On this ground
I've laid my dreams in ruins
Tonight
It's nothing like what I've craved
I'm trying
I'm trying to find my way
I'm trying to get to you
But now
I just wanna be in my grave
Being all alone
Behind the wall
In quarantine
I can't feel your warmth
Behind this glass
All I can see is
You goin' down
I can feel
The cold calm and the chills
The fear's creeping up on my skin
On this ground
I've laid my dreams in ruins
Tonight
It's nothing like what I've craved
I'm trying
I'm trying to find my way
I'm trying to get to you
But now
Scurrying across the broadwalk
Some places I tend to forget
Echoings deep in my throat
It's so cold in this luncheonette, well
Somebody wants to know you
An ordinary boy
Somebody wants to know you
A standard polaroid, well
Here I am
European son
Sometimes the passenger
European son
Here I am
Suffragettes in Washington
Disposable serviettes
Searching for the quiet life
There's no love in this luncheonette, well
Here I am
European son
Sometimes the passenger
European son
Here I am
Here I am
European son
Sometimes the passenger
European son
European son
European son
European son
European son
Somebody wants to know you
European son
An ordinary boy
Love's incentives understood
Irregular thoughts comply
And still afraid of every word
Love is unsatisfied
Zero down to zero
Submerging in every man
Zero down to zero
Catch me as best you can
Well you must know something
'Cos we're dying of admiration here
Mastering obscure alternatives
Between the dialogue lovers run
New decisions we won't decide
And still afraid of every word
It's a new design
The cut and style you know so well
Spins across the floor
It's the same routine
Just one last word before you go
Why should I ask for more?
Then out of the blue
you're here by me
Moving
Taking my chance
Learning
Methods of dance
It's such as price to pay
You sense the doubt inside my mind
But never ask me why
No second chances now
I could be sure if I were to live at your speed of life
Then out of the blue
you're here by me
Moving
Taking my chance
Learning
Methods of dance
Oh, oh, oh
Standing outside on a kitchen floor
Love utensils in the palm of her hand
Saluting supermarket majorettes
We understand
Oh muzak for digital clocks
Departmental stores, vacate no sound
Exchanging surgical appliances
On hired ground
And love blows through Rhodesia
And love blows through Rhodesia
Soldierettes marching in the parking lot
Bleach your body
Be proof to the fact
Moving out in all directions
And turning back
Oh, heartaches from Amsterdam
Masturbated over jilted bouquets
Approximation's counting on a freight line
We pull away
And love blows through Rhodesia
And love blows through Rhodesia
Oh, Nazis in full attack
Burning niggers in a cotton field
Service stations offer promises
And promises offer me
And love blows through Rhodesia
There's always something left inside him
I've really nothing much to lose
It seems so sentimental
Why should I care?
Somewhere there's a sound of distant living
Locked up in high society
It seems so artificial
Why should I care?
Oh ho ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh ho ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Another vehicle heads for sunset
No other providence will do
They're only buildings and houses
Why should I care
Oh ho ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh ho ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh ho ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh ho ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh ho ho
Life can be cruel
I apologise again
Time after time after time
The conversation drifts
In no general direction
And your aural love
Is keeping me from bed
And it's talking and talking
It's all you ever said
You know it's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want
You don't fool me, you don't fool me
No surprises, no surprises
Love in the hallway
Sex on the carpet
Antagonism rising
You know you try to categorise me
Because it's all you ever wanted
It's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want
But you're changing my love
'Cos all you want is - television!
No heart is infected
No damage is done
No cavity open
Nobody, no fun
They throw shit in your face
And you smile
They throw shit in your face
And you still come up smiling
You've got nothing to believe in
The diverse
The young and
The breathing
It's all you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
They say it's
All you want
All you want
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
You've got blasphemy with a smile
Insomnia sleeps with you nights
You've got commercial sex appeal
In sterile black and white
You're glorious colourless motion
From reel to reel you run
Nocturnal television
Internal sanctum
But it's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want - want
I bet you're changing my love
All I want is
Television
But you're changing my love
I said I don't want
Well but you're changing my love
'cos I don't want
It's television
All night and day
All night and day
All night and day
It's all you ever wanted
It's all you ever wanted
it's all you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
The cottage is windswept
Now there's only sorrow here
Follow evacuation signs
You're detached and broken
and so sentimental now
Remembering how we passed our time
Somebody waits for me
Far beyond our Halloween
Germanic forces marching on concrete squares
Our love is just defenceless sound
And could we believe that all you said was true
We would be so determined now
Somebody waits for me
Far beyond our Halloween
Slowly emerging Dividing Germany
Everyone's lost in East Berlin
Only believing just what you want to hear
We're waiting at stations once again
Somebody waits for me
Far beyond our Halloween
Somebody waits for me
Sometimes the comfort of a room
Sometimes I'm quite alone
I pack to leave a foreign town
It seems I'll never know
But I'll rent new accommodation
We'll make plans for mobile homes
Slow boats moving with the tide
Drifting far from shore
It's the nature of this country life
I've never known before
Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
The sound of wildlife fills the air
So warm and dry
The bushland burns in this southern heat
Like an open fire
Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes... mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Blood life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
A voice screams from heaven
As we start to sail
It's the calling of the fatherland
I used to know so well
'Til I'll find new accommodation
We'll make plans for mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
Outside there's a world waiting
I'll take it all by storm
And when the sunset finds me
I'm coming home
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
Everyday the sun beats down
I pull away from shore
The wind blows hard into my sails
Now I know I'm out of touch
And times they could get tough
But I move on so I cannot fail
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
When the evening fires burn
The daylight dead and gone
With you beside me we can run
Outside there's a world waiting
I'll take it all by storm
And when the sunset finds me
I'm coming home
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
Taking islands in Africa
Just watch the slow boat hit and run
Everyday the sun beats down
I'll pull away from shore
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
Outside there's a world waiting
I'll take it all by storm
And when the sunset finds me
I'm coming home
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
Everyday the sun beats down
I pull away from shore
The wind blows hard into my sails
Now I know I'm out of touch
And times they could get tough
But I move on so I cannot fail
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
When the evening fires burn
The daylight dead and gone
With you beside me we can run
Outside there's a world waiting
I'll take it all by storm
And when the sunset finds me
I'm coming home
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
Taking islands in Africa
Just watch the slow boat hit and run
Everyday the sun beats down
I'll pull away from shore
Tell me when the work is done
Tell me when the day is through
And I'll drive safely inside my car
Taking islands in Africa
Shout if someone gets too near
I'll know just what I ought to do
I'll arrive safely in my car
Taking islands in Africa
Now you're feet are back on the ground again
She'll say the weather's dim but relax my love
Relax and swing
Things you say are not too clear
I'm someone you'll neither know again
But I sit here and watch from afar
Taking islands in Africa
Whisper in the wind
I never wanted to be on my own
I could be wrong
But I slipped away from home
And now I'm gone
Well, way down south
They're haveing minor ups and downs
But they are moving on ahead
In leaps and bounds
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Outside where no-one can hear
Why, boy, they're playing our song
At the start of my new career
Well it's a different walk of life
That I've come to know
Because at every port of call comes a time to go
Well they say down south
The sun won't set on my home town
It's just driving in this heat
That gets me down
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Outside where no-one can hear
Why, boy, they're playing our song
At the start of my new career
I could never hurt anyone
Least of all you
Why, boy, they're playing our song
Outside where no-one can hear
Why, boy, they're playing our song
You do me wrong but I'm still crazy 'bout you
Stay away too long and I can't live without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt just makes my love stronger than before
I know that flowers grow to rain
But how can love grow to pain?
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
You tell me lies that you'll be honest to me
But I'm so much in love that I don't see that
The things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love that your lies seem true
If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make love last stronger?
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be
Oh I've cried so much just like a child that's lost his toy
Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much and still do anything you say
Well, I'm like a child my tears don't help me get my way
I know that love can last through years
But how can love last through tears?
Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity
Below the city's hustle begins
Expression lost in suburban winds
Don't waste my time, the way you do, yeah
My heart on Main Street, my love for you
Take your turn on the love carousel
Your time will come and I wish you well
'Cos you've got love
Got a whole lot more
If you've got what I've been searching for
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot push me, push me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot push me, push me much higher
Slow down, babe, a love can't wait
When time comes for you, you can't be late
With burning love, the whole night through
What I do babe, I do for you
So let the wind come rushing in
Feel a soul sensation begin
'Cos you've got love
Got a whole lot more, yeah
And you've got what I've been searching for, yeah baby!
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot push me, push me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Once I was young
Once I was smart
Now I'm living on the edge of my nerves
The things we said weren't quite so tough
When we were young
Well I'm burning
I'm burning buildings
I'm building... this time
For the art of parties
Under heavy weather
The art of parties
I'm burning... burning
I'm living
I'm living my life
I'm living
This time
The wind blew through my hair
Once I was young
I'd shelter from the sun
Once I was smart
We lived on the strength of our nerves
When we were young
Well I'm burning
I'm burning buildings
Well it's been a long time
How should I feel?
What can I say?
With fantastic stories
You present yourself
In different ways
Some particular places
Remembered so well
Are hard to forget
We've travelled so far now
Then we were so young
Hard to impress
But she comes and goes
The other side of life
Sheltering only
The other side of life
These singular occasions
We seem to share
Stumble and fall
If you could remember
Boys, now the times are changing
The going could get rough
Boys, would that ever cross your mind
Boys, are you contemplating
Moving out somewhere
Boys, will you ever find the time?
Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same, beware.
Here comes the quiet life again?
Boys, now the country's only miles away from here
Boys, do you recognise the signs?
Boys, when those driving hands push against the tracks
Boys, it's too late to wonder why
Here we are stranded
Somehow it seems the same, beware.
Here comes the quiet life again?
As you turn to leave
Never looking back
Will you think of me?
Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Oh little girl
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that would only break my heart
So if you feel like loving me
If you've got that notion
I second that emotion
So if you feel like giving me
A life-time of devotion
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love will tie you down
And you don't seem to like to hang around
Or maybe you think thot love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules
I second that emotion
I second that emotion
A summerhouse in Texas
Searching for Siberia
Pioneering underground
We looked a lot like you
Now work is done, the table set
Deliver insufficient sound
Oh my, fall in love with me
Oh my, fall in love with me
Cross military lines
Nobody would believe us now
The weather working with us
We looked a lot like you
Now every boy's a refugee
Living for the moment
Through the shrieking wails
Trans-European overseas
Silently leaving Amsterdam
We looked a lot like you
Shy away from standard life
Your skin a white stained sensation
Clinical bodies won't do
And as we're pumping, pumping and resisting
Inserting love into you
Communist China
Take me to heaven
Somebody wrong
We'll throw glass in your face
Call it new propaganda
Still, we've been waiting for so long
I'll take you out in the moonlight
Oblique horizons won't do
The knife in your fist
Is breaking up the white walls
Here's penetration for you
Face-to-face confrontation
Personal problems for you
And conversation's getting far too vicious
Too many heartaches have been rejected
A notified delay
I feel adrenalin ejecting
And I'll soon go on my way
And it's so hard now
And it's so hard now
Beating on my brain
I find no fascination to stimulate
I'll do it all again
Oh you find love inside an automatic gun
Another lifestyle breaks on the carpet
Nothing as before
Without old intuition
We're feeling stronger
We're communists at war
And it's so hard now
And it's so hard now
Authority denied
We pull the trigger
The cartridge empty
But marxists still reply
Oh you find love inside an automatic gun
I throw my fist in your chest
In search of a refugee
Love is bust from an air assault cannon
Heaven in your hands
Go beating on my brains
Go beating on my brains
With new abandon
We're resurrected
Throwing you apart
With acclamation
Company deposited
Pissing on your heart
Take it easy check me out
I move from the car wash
Your hands are not clean
From your fascist graffitti
I'm getting kind of tired
Descending escalators
To the heart of the subway
But you are not the only one, baby
Check me out
Oh well it's getting kind of silly
Inadequate bodies are waging a war
But you'd better check the situation
Your mouth is open wide
But your body is too sore
But you are not the only one baby
Check me out
But my performance is good
My performance is good
For your love for your love
My performance is good
As I perform for you
Another nervous breakdown
Well nobody has to suffer
The camera ejects from another location
Take refuge in the city
Then move on down the line
Between the cradle of stations
But you are not the only one
She keeps her patience for the bedroom
Should satisfy her for a week
Her domination is executed cheaply
With her studio technique
What's new?
She carries love in a carrier bag
What's new?
She don't keep her body clean
Oh, Oh, Oh
Illegitimate contributions
And neurotic fantasies conceived
Love is infectious
I don't know about that
Love is infectious
I don't know about it
She keeps appointments by the hour glass
Guerilla warfare in her bed
And constant love is oh oh so negative
We're simulating sex instead
She carries love in a carrier bag
She don't keep her body clean
Oh, Oh, Oh
Illegitimate contributions
And neurotic fantasies conceived
Love is infectious
I don't know about that
Love is infectious
I don't know about it
No personality's essential
Nobody strictly in command
She's not direct, elusive
Or inadequate
Love's incompatible commands
What's new?
She carries love in a carrier bag
What's new?
She don't keep her body clean
Oh, Oh, Oh
Illegitimate contributions
And neurotic heartaches are conceived
Love is infectious
I don't know about that
Love is infectious
Everything's neat and compact
There's not much to shout about
But winter is breaking inside of me
Now life is so incomplete
But you're one of the boys again
But is that all you want to be?
Now that you feel the weather
Was it all in vain?
Now that we're together
We seem so alien
Slowly descend from heaven
Anyway we turn we win
But how can you always be so sure?
Nightporters sleep on weekdays
Living a lifetime too
Walking away without a cure
Now that you feel the weather
Was it all in vain?
Now that we're together
We seem so alien
The noise on the stairs disturbs me
Somebody walks my way
But can you rely on everything I feel?
Driving through endless buildings
The desert is so serene
But Mondays were never really my ideal
Now that you feel the weather
Was it all in vain?
Now that we're together
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
Where will she go
What shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
The silken trimmings of yesterday's gown
To all tomorrow's parties
What shall she do
With Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
From whom no-one ever borrows
A blackened shroud
A hand-me-down gown of rags and silks her costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
I feel so rejected
Come dance for me
I need alternative living
To feel objectively
Sometimes
I feel so low
Wholesale on heartaches
'Cross a warehouse floor
Outside a heart beats faster
Inside it needs far more
Sometimes
I feel so low
So close to heaven
Come reach for me
I feel the pressure rising
We're descending constantly
Sometimes
I'm walking young and strong
But just a little too thin
I may be happy but I haven't clue
to this life in my mind
Stay with me
We could learn to fight
like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked out in visions of China
Tonight
I'm building heroes again
I never thought of before
I remember the fashion but don't have a clue
to your life in my mind
Stay with me
We could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked out in visions of China
Tonight
We walk backwards say nothing
My visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
We walk backwards say nothing
Visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
We're building our visions of China
We walk backwards say nothing
Our visions of China
We're young and strong in this party
I hear a voice I hear a sound
But nothing plays on my mind
I take the car I travel round
But nothing stays on my mind
What do you do when things go wrong?
I'm winning
In the heart of the bushland
What do you do when things go wrong?
I'm winning
In the heart of the bushland
But now I'm scared
Now I'm lost in love
All these things were never done
Your burning bridge my talking drum
Degredation takes a soul potential
The woman ain't to blame
Infiltrate the morning's passing hours
But love remains the same
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use you pretending
She ain't ever coming back
To put you on the right track
Unamerican humour
All American smile
Hovers on the horizon baby
But no-one can reply well well
Breezin, breesin, she's no lover
Breezin, breezin
Satisfaction unrequited
A ghetto in your heart
Hoards of mass production baby
Is keeping us apart
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use singing gospel
She ain't ever coming back
When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well I ought to leave but
The rain it never stops
And I have no particular place to go
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind
Well I'm feeling nervous
And I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Flirting new ambition
Pressure for the ceiling
No vacation on immaculate times
Domestic training
A woman's intuition
A love is churning out on factory lines
Health demanding
Unfit behaviour
Commuters converse in satirical signs
Know no news and no personnel crisis
With new indifferent industrial crimes
Welcome to suburban Berlin
Welcome to suburban Berlin
Love affairs
And endless strategies
I don't believe in a word they said
City limits
No more information
Go follow navigation in your head
Welcome to suburban Berlin
Don't tell me not to live Just sit and putter Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter Don't bring around a cloud 'round To rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly I've simply got to If someone takes a spill It's me not you Who told you you're allowed To rain on my parade
I'll march my band out And I'll beat my drum And if I'm spammed out Your turn at bat sir At least I didn't fake it Hat sir Nearly didn't make it
Maybe I'm just a rose of sheer perfection A freckle on the nose of life's complexion A cinder of a shiny apple of it's eye
I've gotta fly once I gotta try once Only can die once Right, sir? Love is juicy, juicy and I'll say I gotta have my bite, sir!
Well, look out love oh babe I'm coming Don't tell me not to march My heart's a drummer Who told you you're allowed To rain on my parade
I'm gonna live and live now Get what I want, I know how One roll for the whole shebang One throw that bell will go clang High on the target and wham One shot, one gunshot and bam!
Don't tell me not to live Just sit and putter Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter Don't bring around a cloud To rain on my parade
The sidewalk's trading love
As subway lights grow brighter
We're just another hype
But the pressure's getting harder
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
A lovers' etiquette
Make love on first impression
And adolescent sex with juvenile intentions
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Well, the lady buys a thrill
Excitement in succession
But a heartache won't partake
In articulate obsession
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Oh yeah!
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Oh, well, pretty things at rest
No courtesy surprising
For love is heaven blessed
All catastrophies denying
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Aw, when you're out on the street
With your lovers infections
Counting possibilities by elimination
And your body's still damp
From your one-room apartment
And your heartache remains, when
Love's not the antidote
You'll submerge again
Emerge again
Just get off the street!
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Before the light of day reveals itself
I assured she won't forget
But still I will console myself
Should I lose something I could regret
But now she turns to leave
Exactly like she used to do
Did nobody warn you boy
Love's in vogue again my love
Did nobody tell you girl
Love's in vogue again my love
Before the light of day I awake
She's clearly not herself today
Across a crowded room life begins
Before the moment drifts away
How bitter the morning feels
Dom je vedno boljoddaljen stran
Bela ptica nese me drugam
Druge zvezde zdaj me grejejo
Hladno sonce naše je zašlo
Gledam ven v temo
Kaplje na okno padajo
Ni me strah za jutrišnji dan
To mora biti raj
Bele iskre v nebo
V temi se vidi horizont
In edinstven ocean
Se ga dotika tam
Krona mehka sede na glavo
Dože smo odvrgli z radostjo
Vsak pogled v sebi nosi mir
Ples ob ognju naj prežene zver
Zletijo bele iskre v nebo
V temi se vidi horizont
In edinstven ocean
Se ga dotika tam
Gledam ven v temo
Kaplje z okna izginejo
Ni me strah za jutrišnji dan
To mora biti raj, je raj, je raj, je raj, je raj, je raj...
Druge zvezde zdej me grejejo
Hladno sonce naše je zašlo
Vsak pogled v sebi nosi mir
Ples ob ognju naj prežene zver
Zletijo bele iskre v nebo
V temi se vidi horizont
In edinstven ocean
Se ga dotika tam
Bele iskre v nebo
V temi se vidi horizont
In edinstven ocean
Now there's a girl about town I'd like to know
I'd like to slip away with you
And if you said you love me how could I mind?
Is there another side to everything you do?
Take in the country air
You'll never win
Gentlemen take polaroids
They fall in love they fall in love
Gentlemen take polaroids
They fall in love they fall in love
Breathe life into me
Spin me round
And I'll just sit and wonder why
Just a foreign town with a foreign mind
Why is everything so cut and dried?
The taste of country air you'll never know
Gentlemen take polaroids
They fall in love they fall in love
Gentlemen take polaroids
They fall in love they fall in love
Take in the country, ah you'll never win
Gentlemen take polaroids
They fall in love they fall in love
Gentlemen take polaroids
Could I ever explain
This feeling of love it just lingers on
The fear in my heart that keeps telling me which way to turn
We'll wander again
Our clothes they are wet
We shy from the rain
Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide
The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside
Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life begins
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip away
I'll watch for a sign
And if I should ever again cross your mind
I'll sit in my room and wait until nightlife begins
I'm catching my breath
We'll both brave the weather again
Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Take position and love will take a stand
That is the way it goes
No inquisition, no cynical demands
No-one should ever know
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
Oh, what a way to start
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
What a way to start
Well, I'm trying to find
All the love we discovered
That is the way it goes
No perversion in this unconventional love
No way I'd rather see
No diversion in this unintentional love
No way I'd rather be
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
Oh, what a way to start
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
What a way to start
Well, I'm trying to find
All the love we discovered
Sometimes I feel I've been here forever
Sometime ago
Sometimes we sense the doubt together
Sometimes alone
I'm tired but we won't sleep at all
even though the air is calm
Something here and something warm
something cuts the scars inside tonight
Sons of pioneers are hungry men
Every voice I hear sounds so familiar
Every song I know
Still there's been no change in the weather
But sometime we'll have to go
I'm tired but we won't sleep at all
even though the air is calm
Something here and something warm
something cuts the scars inside tonight
Your confiscating transmission
For liberty, no sympathy
Don't interfere with direct invitations
She's talking of communial love
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You got no ID,
No identity
Don't break your heart over me, baby
Your body falls, too unpredictable
But I'm dancing
The game is up -
Your contraceptives low
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You got no ID,
No identity
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You programme, love, insatiable crime
Imprisons me - in liberty
Your chauvinism's a sensuous smile
Transmission of commercial love
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You got no ID,
No identity
But you got no ID,
No identity!
But you got no ID,
We're pushing through these farming towns
We worked hard ploughing over ground
Red army calls you the call of the crowd
Red army needs you they call you now
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home
We're singing marching through the hills
We're changing the lives we've led for years
Red army calls you the call of the crowd
Red army needs you they call you now
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home
Red army calls you

Gentlemen you heard us call
Raised your glass and called for more
