Dessau is a town in Germany on the junction of the rivers Mulde and Elbe, in the Bundesland (Federal State) of Saxony-Anhalt. Since 1 July 2007, it is part of the merged town Dessau-Roßlau. Population of Dessau proper: 77,973 (June 2006).
Dessau is situated on a floodplain where the Mulde flows into the Elbe. This causes yearly floods. The worst flood took place in the year 2002, when the Waldersee district was nearly completely flooded. The south of Dessau touches a well-wooded area called Mosigkauer Heide. The highest elevation is a 110m high former rubbish dump called Scherbelberg in the southwest of Dessau. Dessau is surrounded by numerous parks and palaces that ranks Dessau as one of the greenest towns in Germany.
Dessau was first mentioned in 1213. It became an important centre in 1570, when the principality of Anhalt was founded. Dessau became the capital of this state within the Holy Roman Empire. Anhalt was dissolved In 1603 it was split into four – later five – Anhalts, Dessau becoming the capital of the mini-state of Anhalt-Dessau until 1918. In 1863 two of the noble line died out, and became reunited.
Walter Adolph Georg Gropius (May 18, 1883 – July 5, 1969) was a German architect and founder of the Bauhaus School who, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture.
Born in Berlin, Walter Gropius was the third child of Walter Adolph Gropius and Manon Auguste Pauline Scharnweber. Gropius married Alma Mahler (1879–1964), widow of Gustav Mahler. Walter and Alma's daughter, named Manon after Walter's mother, was born in 1916. When Manon died of polio at age 18, composer Alban Berg wrote his Violin Concerto in memory of her (it is inscribed "to the memory of an angel"). Gropius and Alma divorced in 1920. (Alma had by that time established a relationship with Franz Werfel, whom she later married.) In 1923, Gropius married Ise (Ilse) Frank (d. 1983), and they remained together until his death. They adopted Beate Gropius, also known as Ati.
Walter Gropius, like his father and his great-uncle Martin Gropius before him, became an architect. Gropius could not draw, and was dependent on collaborators and partner-interpreters throughout his career. In school he hired an assistant to complete his homework for him. In 1908 Gropius found employment with the firm of Peter Behrens, one of the first members of the utilitarian school. His fellow employees at this time included Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Dietrich Marcks.
Every other day
Black and white and grey
Today
Every other night
I get so uptight
Tonight
I would say hello
To you my friend
Hello hello hello
Please don't break your head
Look around instead
Let go
The sponsor's sweating
The girls are fretting
But he's getting away
With re-fuck
This city crawler
Would like to howler
He's not a brawler
But he's got something to say
Like burning down a flat
To light a cigarette
Rest your eyes, got no tears for a love song
Rest your eyes, you got it coming on
How late the favourite game
Eleven on the clock of fun and shame
Into the black anew
We need a big blow to kill a little flame
Tell me what you gonna do
Come on now baby can you put me through
It's suck, squeeze, bang and blow
I feel at home in your pressure dome
Let's jettison in unison
That monotonous drone
(It's) like burning down a flat
To light a cigarette
Rest your eyes, got no tears for a love song
Rest your eyes, you got it coming on
How late the favourite game
Eleven on the clock of fun and shame
Into the black anew
We need a big blow to kill a little flame
Tell me what you gonna do
I don't wanna look at the receding moon
Tell me what you gonna do
Come on now baby can you put me through
Oh let me hype this dream
My own promo machine
Wipe your belly clean
The plan it wasn't much of a plan
I just started walking
I had enough of this old town
and nothing else to do
It was one of those nights
you wonder how nobody died
we started talking
You didn't come here to have fun
you said: "well I just came for you"
Do you still love me?
do you feel the same
Do I have a chance
of doing that old dance
with someone I've been
pushing away
And touch we touched the soul
the very soul, the soul of what we were then
With the old schemes of shattered dreams
lying on the floor
You looked at me
no more than sympathy
my lies you have heard them
My stories you have laughed with
my clothes you have torn
And do you still love me?
do you feel the same
And do I have a chance
of doing that old dance again
Is it too late for some of that romance again
Let's go away, we'll never have the chance again
You lost that feeling
You want it again
More than I'm feeling
you'll never get
You had a go at
all that you know
You lost that feeling
so come down and show
Don't say goodbye
let accusations fly
like in that movie
You know the one where Martin Sheen
waves his arm to the girl on the street
I once told a friend
that nothing really ends
no-one can prove it
So I'm asking you now
could it possibly be
that you still love me?
And do you feel the same
Do I have a chance
of doing that old dance again
Or is it too late for some of that romance again
Let's go away, we'll never have the chance again
I take it all from you
I take it all from you
I take it all from you
I take it all from you
I take it all from you
You're probably right, seen from your side, that I have been lucky.
But I've been meaning to crack all week.
Yes I've been involved, it never resolved into anything shocking.
Pain's playing yoyo in my body as we speak.
And now I found something to look for, but I can't decide,
cause I might find that to stroll behind is better than to score.
Just like I did before.
It wouldn't be true, not towards you, to say that I'm staying.
When on every single impulse, on every other move I react.
Cause in any old creek, with changing technique, you'll see me playing.
After any old motherfucking blow I'll be back.
We turned away from instant stuff
our cracking codes were breaking up
our words were sucked out it made them clean.
And after lowness say it
and after more let it be known
our codes are grown into something mean.
You're probably right, as for tonight, you're making me nervous.
What is it you want me to be thinking of ?
I'll put on a movie, I'll play something groovy as a matter of service.
And I'll chuckle when you smile as a matter of love.
Cause you know it's not my style to be giving up now.
And this pain in my side, I had enough.
This time I go for instant street
This life's a soulless excuse for all abuse and parenthesis.
The flyspecked windows and the stinking lobbies
they'll remain all the same, all the same.
Au niveau des cotes,
l'epicontiplagie est rarement
associee a une epitrocleite
due a la repetition
des movements de secussion
et de pronosuperation
Au niveau de l'interligne
radiocarpe,
I don't mind whatever happens
I don't mind whatever goes around
Baby, baby just drown me in your Sweet White
Gimme some of your flashing light
That's all I do expect from you
Now, don't you want to
Do you mind whatever happens
Whatever goes around
Slow
Would be the tempo of the restless soul
You’ve seen what a listless life can bring
Wait, and then wait until he's waiting for
The delay didn’t see off everything
Slow
Would be the rhythm of the hummingbird
The quick speed in the shatter of his eyes
On flowers you will pose and he will spit the words
And how the world will slowly pass you by
Slow
And tiredness of your control
Of the moment that is nearly standing still
To wait for a minute and not a second more
And a face like a forbidden thrill
[chorus]
Gently behind the beat
We shuffle on ancient streets
The reverb of time
Is our vantage point
We slept for a million years
Lived through a million fears
We are not nervous
We will not ask for more
If you come slower I'm gonna slow too
Slow
Like the kissing of a lazy cheek
Like the limit and the deadline of the rush
And words, words waiting for you to speak
Or getting lost in your eternal crush
Slow
Would be the tempo of the restless mind
You see what a listless life can bring
And wait and then he waits until he's waiting for
For the wait didn’t see off everything
[chorus]
Gently behind the beat
We shuffle on ancient streets
The reverb of time
Is our vantage point
We slept for a million years
Lived through a million fears
We are not nervous
We will not ask for more
Pawns of the troubled times
And kings of our petty crimes
The minds will function
With a small delay
See what the past has planned
The future's a beggar's hand
The more we understand
The slower our days
Went down for an ashtray, came back up with a hammer
It's hard to concentrate when no one you know
Is in the know
Yeah scientists they do insist
My friends, man, they're all depressed
As I'm trying to get to the gist
And into the aftershow
So I rattle on a little while
Find a principle for my style
Any number I'm gonna dial
I know someone will accommodate
I spoke too much, I wanna fight
Repeat the same shit I said last night
Did 34 push-ups … should have done 68!
I believe in anything
As long as it just has that ring
Of truth and I can lay down my head
Cause I seen so many people lost
I still believe at any cost
That we musta been misled
Oh your God!
So it tragedy would make you feel
You need a divine drug to heal
And a better god, cuts a better deal,
That's what you got
See I'm stuck in this ungodly game
And I only have myself to blame
In the name of the father, in the name of fame,
In the name of what?
In the name of something bigger
Your god can only snigger
And the sight of all this rigour
With sex the only trigger
For love… or was it the other way round?
Cause it's only beauty that makes me sweat
And to me it seems the best bet yet,
In your head or in your bed
That's my hallowed ground
Cause I believe in anything
As long as it just has that ring
Of truth and I can lay down my head
Cause I seen so many people lost
I still believe at any cost
That we musta been misled
Oh ooooh…
Oh your God!
Who looks…
… over my shoulder?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh……..!
It's in everything true
Hell it's in me and you
For a second or two
You believe
It don't come from above
This concentration and love
You gotta believe it
To see it
Oh your God
Do you remember the festival
We took those drugs I never thought I'd get into that pumpin' stuff
A thousand eyes won't recognise us
'Cause I know you and you know me
That's all you need and all I think of
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
We got on there way too soon
'Cause it takes some time to get the picture
6 to 60 camera zoom oh my god I hate this mixture
Of all these crazy crazy tunes that keep on buzzin' in my head now
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Do you remember the festival in 94 with 90 fuckups
Don't wanna meet all of your friends
The ones you like the ones you'd lock up
'Cause you're out there in the atmosphere
It makes me sick just to think about it
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Fifty-six falcon
Across the old laundry
I tasted
Jigsaw you
How I hate to see
This wasted
Thinkin' of a parallel
These lines won't cut
But all it takes is
Finding some way to weld
I'm caught in the flow of things
My memory's a broken machine
This is how my day begins
This is just one day unseen
Let's do it serpentine any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here
Is it bad that you're good for me?
Did I love you just randomly?
I'm caught in the flow of sound
And you're just some melody
Let's do it serpentine any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here
There's a cute little litany
Put it on my shoulder
Eight o'clock and we agree
It makes me look much older
One, two, in fire
One, two, in fire
Got my clockworks company
I got my dark green trench coat on
I'm sure it will always be
Someone staying and someone gone
Let's do it serpentine any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
You were young, you had time on your hands
And I, was a rollercoaster of the kind
that needs to ride so high
To dive so low
All the time I had to keep you close
Now I finally know how it must of hurt
To see all of the love and care only work
A little while and then I'd go
All the time I had to keep you close
What you feel is what you get
You know there is no answer fit
We broke the code so long ago
I'm going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
You pulling on me like a cigarette
So like the sea holds to the shore
I'm going to keep you ever close
Now the years have a way to make you forget
That we're still in the same place
No hurry yet
The path we're on is the path we chose
I'll still remember how to keep you close
Linger on, linger on in the scheme of things
We are only inhabiting our own dreams
They don't come true, it's the way it goes
And in the meantime I will hold you close
What you feel...
So is this what they mean about moving on
Is this really the end you won't stick around
The one that stays, you're the one that throws
Out the one that has kept you close
And is this definition of constant change
A transformissionof what we hope stays the same
Cold's the breeze that forever blows
Warm are the hands that have kept you close
Coldness is what lays ahaed
So when I see you should I just pretend
The flower's cut but it still grows
I'm going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
I'm pulling on you like a cigarette
So like the sea holds to the shore
"This elevator only takes one down", she said "This place, this hotel lounge, it's my daily
bread, but I'm underfed" He asked, "Are you living in the night?
Cause I can tell you have a lousy imagination
And as a matter of speaking I hate this situation
But it happens to be one of my pickin'"
Cause it's so hard, to keep the dream alive
Cause if it all comes down to this, how will
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
Cause if it all comes down to this, how will
And then she said, "And have another cigarette"
I tend to forget
And hoisted the flag but it keeps hanging down
"You know this place, this hotel lounge
It's my life, it's my choice
And I'm in love with Ricky Lee Jones' voice"
Cause it's so hard to keep the dream alive
And if it all comes down to this, how will
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
And if it all comes down to this
"This elevator only takes one down", she said, "this place in this same hotel"
Do you see that man in the left-hand corner
I was twenty-four when my heart stopped beating
Oh what a feeling
I'm not talking about the rest
Cold supper, mind cropper, follow the pace, of this dealing
I hit the ceiling by the few, I'm not too impressed
Lonely nights, don't do me suicide
I just can't help to stay awake at night
And now it's shake-a-shake-a-shake
I was twenty-four when my breath stopped breathing
Internal bleeding, infernal pain in my chest
In the dark, a lonely night
My mind goes solo
And anyway what's that
In the dark, a handsome light
My head spins only
Only you and me
In-To-kyo Town
But now I hit the ground
I was twenty-four when my heart stopped dreaming
Oh what a feeling
And I'm not talking about the rest
Lonely nights, don't do me suicide
I suffer rock, it almost had me died
Now let me tell you how she makes me laugh
It's so curious to me
She had a word with angels in the past
They agreed to disagree
Said woo hoo hoo what a blonde, what a blonde
She likes to know the singer in the band
the attraction of the flame
It wasn't hard to take a moral stand
Right before the Germans came
Woo hoo hoo what a blonde, what a blonde
Look out she's going to make a fuss
Before she turns into dust
A twisted view will do you all some good
Enemy of the middle class
How about a gun to your chest
A little cursed, a little blessed and less is less
It's true
She's crass, she is golden
She wouldn't ask me no advice
I've seen her eyes in mine
She is crass, she is golden
Look out she's going to make a fuss
Before she turns into dust
A twisted view will do you all some good
Enemy of the middle class
Don't put a cherry in the glass
If it's all too much to ask, let the final blast
Come soon
Every single thing is political
There are different shades of black
Don't you ever take it personal
There is love in the attack
Your head come on is dead and gone it might as well be said so long
It's suds and soda a brain decoder and can I wait for my decoder

Let me tell you a thing
On popular culture
American swing
The British add sulphur
I'll buy you a beer
If you can compete from here
They throw you a line
Let me see it you catch it
And they'll give you some time, sure
If you got something to match it
Just as long as you know
Who is running that show, oooohhhh
And I was thinking, well hey
I'm gonna throw it away
Throwing out my popular culture
Cause now you know it's not great
If you don't come from the states
You will always be late to be in popular culture
From western slang
To showbiz spells
You'd almost think
There's nothing else
Can you give me the news
On the romantic actor
No, I don't really care but his blues
Is for me a distractor
Through his eyes I can see
What is wrong with me… oooooh…
And I was thinking, well hey
I'm gonna throw it away
Throwing out my popular culture
Cause now you know it's not great
If you don't come from the states
You will always be late to be in popular culture
From western slang
To showbiz spells
You'd almost think
There's nothing else
And I was thinking, well hey
Well what the hell is my place
If someone else will dictate
My singular culture
Cause everybody's a star
And if you don't think too far
You can define who you are
Through popular culture
It's like you're not really seen
Without a fashionable spleen
That is so much alike the one
Your heroes suffered
And so you gotta be strong
You've got to just speak in tongues
About how you belong
There's no rules here
I been making stuff up from the beginning
How i feel today
Is it the price i pay
For all my sinning
I'm just a lonely boy
Would you be my enemy
I'm finding little joy in repetition
This routine they call destiny
When you put me down
Revenge is the first thing on my mind
But that's just stupid, man
I need a better plan
Delicate and refined
Between thunder and lightning
There is a gap
I should have listened to the warning
I would have seen the trap
Can you feel it
When all is stuck, right
In front of you
Can you heal it
It's gonna take a revolution now
To get through to you
You don't know what you're destroying
I got all qualities of a stalker
I'm right behind you
Don't dare me now
I'm a faster walker
I'm right on top of you
I'm just a lonely boy
Would you keep me company
You keep me on my toes
You get me going
When i'm weak
Can you feel it
When all is stuck
In front of you
Can you heal it
It's gonna take a revolution now
To get through to you
Can you see it
The sky has lit up
Exposing you
Can you heal it
Are you gonna be found out
Or is it something new
You don't know what you're destroying
Watch me wallowing in sweet denial
Teach me to win and lose
I been waiting it's a slow arrival
Wash it over me
And clean my soul
Where have i seen this before?
When will i feel it again?
Somebody opened a door
I'm afraid to walk in
Imagination will kill
If imagination stands still
I read it in open book
read it in open book
Oh man, i read it in books of laughter
Oh man, i read it in books of pain
What are you talking to me
Cause i'm not really there
Like a spirit that's free
I'm as light as the air
Oh man, i'm as light as the air and floating
Oh man, i'm as light as the air and floating
Take me on
Where the fire winds blow
Of where a fallen leaf stays
for days
on your shoulder
Cause all i need
Is to find my own
And that summering drone
Illicit and golden
Oh lord where have i seen this before
Oh lord when will i feel it again
Read it in every move
Read it in every game
Read it in what you do
Read it in everything
Oh man, as light as the air and floating
Oh man, as light as the air and floating
Take me on
Where the fire winds blow
Cause when time stands still
I wait until
It's over
And all i need
Is to find my own
And the summering drone
I, I knew a girl and she was a joker
Her hair was nicotine brown and eyes of a joker
Her grass has a pale ginger green
Whatever that means
Together we saw they were building a building
Alone I see the building is there
Her grass has a pale ginger green
Whatever that means
Your mind goes, your mind goes, your mind goes
This has nothing to do with you
It's just the way that I turn to you
Your mind goes, your mind goes, your mind goes
'Cause this has nothing to do with you
It's just the way that I turn to you
You see I, I knew this girl and she was a joker
And if she was so big, I guess I would smoke her
Her grass has a pale ginger green
She knows what it means
Your mind goes, your mind goes, your mind goes
Well this has nothing to do with you
It's just the way that i turn to you
Your mind goes, your mind goes, your mind goes
And this has nothing to do with you
I'm calling it off, I'm taking it low
I'm staying ahead of our soul
I'm staying ahead of our soul
I'm staying ahead of our soul
I'm staying ahead of our soul
Your mind goes, your mind goes, your mind goes
Crawl so damn low
I'm calling it off, your mind goes
I'm taking it low, your mind goes
Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
Time will be soon mine in time I guess
She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
And she treats me she treats me she treats me like her local god
Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
This one's yours and yours is self obsessed
She's painting on my back a green tom, the beefheart one
And she cuddles and she coos and she cuts the bullshit I confessed
She said:"Don't look my way
What can I possibly say
I've never seen you before today
I'm just the one that makes you think of the one
that makes you feel you're the one"
But thank you for the roses, for the roses
so thank you for the roses, for the roses
thank you for the roses, for the roses
thank you for the roses, for the roses
Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
remind me what it is that I do best
She's painting on my back some beautiful something sweet
And she treats me she treats me she beats me
Rose said quote my time has come at last
Ugly things through my mind they have passed
She's scratching on my back 'if this boy believes me'
She leaves me, deceives me and takes those flowers just to please me.....
Rose don't mind where she been
She been blind
She been mine
All this time
She been kind
She been mine
She said: "Thank you for the roses, for the roses" (just to please me)
Thank you for the roses, for the roses(just to please me)
Thank you for the roses, for the roses(just to please me)
Thank you for the roses, for the roses(just to please me)
Sophisticated underwear on a short vacation
as the bravest, nippiest, most elegant female woman
shouldn't be, shouldn't be
shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be

easy going

squeeze it into a song
too much credit for something that wrong
Bedweiser blues (Bedweiser)
Bedweiser blues (Bedweiser)
combining wildlife footage and Hollywood names
on the door of a Belgian toilet
that means 0.5 on your scale of shameful situations
and a square 7.6 on my scale of risky and extremely risky operations
How now plug it into a transrelational socket
too much credit?
I knew, I knew what I was doing, fuck it

More wrinkled than the entire Redgrave-family
she raped my talent for simulated ignorance
I had a plan, was all made up
an angel was sent, for keeping all troubles away.
'Cause lady and I, we could not stop
as cool as a sigh, as volatile as something you say.
I had a dream, a simple plot
I held out my hand as if she'd never pushed it away.
The sun is still there, except it's not
beside her I care to linger even though it's not safe.
Godawful I adore you
angels were there before you
nothing can stop what we do
it's breaking us up in two.
Hey maybe should we ask it
could our friends be worthier.
Like things we trust for if we must
We must burn them.
And burn them good, real friends they would
be understanding if it came to us
and us we must we must turn to
the God of small things.
The God of small things.
I had a plan, was all made up,
as good it was then the magic hour seemed to be fading.
'Cause lady and I we could not stop
as cool as a sigh, as murderous as something you say.
Godawful I adore you
angels were there before you
nothing can stop what we do
it's breaking us up in two.
There is room if you can trust|
Tonight
If only tonight
I need something stronger, baby
Tonight
Like the moon and the stars
I don't know what you are
I can't wait any longer
Tonight
Only love is the real sugar
Only love is the real...
Everybody's ever felt lonely snap your finger
Everybody's ever felt lonely...
They say
There is a way
If you believe in something good
It could happen today
And baby
I'm trying hard to sound vague
But can I just hold you in my arms
Promise you we'll never
Talk about the promise again
Only love is the real sugar
Only love is the real...
Tonight
If only tonight
I need something stronger, baby
Can you provide?
Like the moon and the stars
I don't know what you are
I can't wait any longer
Tonight
Cause only love is the real sugar
Only love is the real....
Everybody's ever felt lonely snap your fingers
So come on, baby, baby
Shake your hip baby, baby, come on
So come on, baby, baby
Shake your hip baby, baby, come on
So come on, baby, baby
Shake your hip baby, baby, come on
So come on, baby, baby
Let's get lost, alright, alright
Let's get lost, alright
You know a place
Where we can go
Ask money, get your money
On a stool
Let's get lost, alright, alright
Let's get out and hold me some more
It's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy, crazy
In my own words
See you dancin' in your own damn rain
Take it in and take it back again
Looking novel when your fashion's old
It is a waterproof, windproof, I love you
I'm-on-the-roof-kind-of-a-day, day
We're in the grillroom with the groundwork
You stain your skirt, skirt, I like your hairdo, I hate your way
Yes, that's the price you pay, yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay, yes, that's the price you pay
I'm just a shipboy, I pay my shiptoll
And every shipday I take a shipstroll out on the deck
It's complicated, I underrated
But now I made it, might it be a bit o.k.
No, that's the price you pay, no, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay, no, that's the price you pay
'I'm feeling weary', he said to Larry
'I'm gonna o.d., I hit the roadie, I'm in a popband'
He said, 'Remember James Dean was looking pristine
In comes the benzine out goes the rebel without a grant but with a fanzine'
Yes, that's the price you pay, yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay, yes, that's the price you pay
Just like a dive-bomb, you're gonna dive son, ain't nothing won hon'
Until it's done done, look out for the quake
Check out the ceiling, there's nothing healing
Your life is peeling, I know the feeling, you just wanna break
You just wanna break
No, that's the price you pay, no, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay, no, that's the price you pay
I'm just a shipboy, I pay my shiptoll
And every shipday I take a shipstroll out on the deck
It's complicated, I underrated
But now I made it, might it be a bit o.k.
No, that's the price you pay
On the hills behind the Dead Sea
There is a wonder
You were my love from the Holy City
And you were gonna take me there
But I had a change of heart
Now, years later
That wonder has become a symbol
A promise of a world that is safe
Because it isn't real
It is its own dream
Like a destination without the journey
Or like a prize without the fight
It seems that this red rose rock
That I only know from pictures
Has been carved out of pure love
That I only know from books
And it outlives us
There in the valley
Being its own timeless dream
Red and rose
Sometimes the truth is mild and simple
Not a flood or a big wave, just a ripple
So you stir it up
Cause for some reason
You want it to wash over you
The truth is
The memory of you fades
And the wonder, it's still there
Untouched, unseen
And stark as ever
Oh Stephany
Why do we always need a mystery
Why can't we see a little history
Before it's much too late
Oh Stephany
I'm only letting this wash over me
Wake me up before I sleep and I'll promise you that I'll concentrate
On only the last frame
Cover only one sound
Some kinda sweet, weird kinda strange around me
Wake me up before I sleep
Can't you see too many colours here, colours there, colours everywhere
Cover only one ground, the blackest of blacks I don't want to surround me
There's nothing I can say, that isn't gonna be
There's nothing I can do, that isn't gonna be a mistake
Wake me up before I sleep now
I haven't had an inch of what I thought I got from this awful high
Cover me in one dye
Just lie here with me we'll let the train go by
There's nothing I can say, that isn't gonna be
That's a really nice sound
That's a nice sound
That's what I call a nice sound
Wanting missing, having letting, knowing forgetting, showing climbing, falling sucking,
breathing lying, loosing missing
You make me feel
Happy clumsy, angry rash, cripple silly, little smaller, taller witty, hasty sexy, weary ugly
You make me feel
In there neither, someone several, all round in time, more off instant, more like therefore,
pinned on hardly, in there often
You make me feel
Envy fucking, waisting sighing, coping bragging, coughing dying, laughing plastifying and
crying
You make me feel
My sister
Got nowhere to hide
I missed her
But deep down inside
We drive
Keep our hands on the wheel
We drive
You know how it feels
In my dream on my back, on those pills make it till, by the sea
You make me feel
On my left by my side, on your lap heavy foot, hurt and heal
You make me feel
Blinded by ready for, always yours cardiac, filthy guilty pleasure
You make me feel
My sister
Got nowhere to hide
I missed her
But deep down inside
We drive
Keep our hands on the wheel
We drive
You know how it feels
A promise that was never made
Implied from the beginning
And passion that had never failed
To convince us we were winning
Too smitten to be just a flirt
Too loose to be connected
I gave you less than you deserved
And less than you expected
Cause twice I set my mind on you
And twice I gave you nothing
Twice you showed me what to do
And twice it came to nothing
Beneath the surface of desire
You hope there's something sacred
Hallowed ground a holy fire
To warm us when we're naked
So tell me why you want to stay
You're so impatient anyway
For something that will never ever happen
You say come on let's pick a fight
With all that try to steal our light
From now it's you and me united
Tell me why am I so frightened
I don't know
Cause twice I set my mind on you
And twice I gave you nothing
Twice you showed me what to do
And twice it came to nothing
So tell me what we're gonna do
Feels like I'm stuck here in a loop
Of you and me and me and you
Forever
There's more that 20.000 ways
To end up in the same old place
Only one to get away
Only once you get a second chance
So why do you want to stay
Well, good evening to all my friends
I think it goes to show that
The more you get, the more you got
The more you want some more
'Cause it's super sexy, super cool
The way they walk the avenue
But it's a sadder day than yesterday
So it kinda makes 'em super blue
Spastic Sam and Eric Drew
Make supermarkets super flue
But they're just on time
For the rendezvous
I know it goes to show that
The more you get, the more you got
The more you want some more
Some people go out and buy stuff
They see in windows
I don't need no ring, no car, no watch
Baby I got all I need
I know it goes to show that
The more you get, the more you got
The more you want some more
Some people go out and buy stuff
They've seen in books
I don't need no leather jacket
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock, hit it
I skipped the part about love
I skipped the part about love
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it
Every minute and against the clock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it
I skipped the part about love
I skipped the part about love
I break my heart with a frying pan
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it
I?m gonna hit it and against the rock, hit it
He went to the bottom, put his soul on fire
He went to the bottom, put his soul on fire
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
Maybe he got the rhyme
Maybe he got the eyes
Maybe he got the time
Counter clock wise
Yeah
He said, he said
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
Maybe he got the song
Maybe he got the size
Maybe he got it wrong
Counter clock wise
Yeah
He said, "No more loud music"
He said, "No more loud music"
He said, "No more loud music"
Aah, nevermind that space lad
let’s get down to earth!
What is the architect doing?
He is by the riverside
What is he thinking out there?
He is committing egocide
Now isn’t that a strange thing?
Well to him it feels just
Well we guess a person’s gotta do,
What a person feels he must
He said:
I won’t throw myself from the pier
I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when that year is over I’ll reappear
And have a solution
I’ve reason to believe that what I find
Is gonna change the face of human kind
And all these years before well I was blind
That’s my conclusion
Cause I’m the architect (3x)
Now the man has understood
That outer space is overrated
About all the problems on this earth we should
Worry now to solve them later
And so he’s brooding and alluding on a perfect design
He thinks that working on behalf of himself is a crime
He flashes out by the water, a view so divine
He’s the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime
He said:
I won’t throw myself from the pier
I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when that year is over I’ll reappear
And have a solution
I’ve reason to believe that what I find
Is gonna change the face of human kind
And all these years before well I was blind
That’s my conclusion
Cause i'm the architect (3x)
And so he drew a pentagon
Thinking it through a geodesic dome
From the coast of Tahiti, to the hills of Rome
Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel prize home
He said:
I won’t throw myself from the pier
I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when that year is over I’ll reappear
And have a solution
Now if these aspirations bother you
Well you are just you, you don’t have a clue
I’m sticking to the plan I will see it through
Let there be no confusion
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
A tribute to my friends
the ones I left behind
the ones that didn't leave me behind
A tribute to my friends
for whom our happy time
would be in better hands
Overflow, overflow
here I go, I overflow
A tribute to pretend
a kiss of God
It was just some accident
just a little somethin'
I did not impose
just merely chose
to recommend
Overflow, overflow
here I go, I overflow
Do you like the sound?
there's a crack in my window
Do you like the sound?
there's a wrinkle in my pillow
We're coming to the end
a handsome train has left
but it will come again
Overflow, overflow
Both sides of happy
Both sides of grief
Man, they're staring at you
It's beyond belief
Both sides you kick it
Both sides you hide
Both side you'll never see
However hard you try
Both sides of politics
Both sides of shame
Was it the good side of you
That took the blame
Both side of secrecy
Both side of spying
I'm hearing ten sides now
They're multiplying
Both sides of trouble
And if that's the price
Take your time to stand up
And get organized
Cause I been away
But I feel I'm back
You can find me at the mothership
I'll be dressed in black
This ain't no time now
To go pick a fight
To investigate both sides
We got all night
You got me all wound up now, kick it
Now it ain't hard falling in love
With you baby
Got me all wound up
Your both sides are driving me crazy
Don't let the pressure drop
Stone go slow
Find the right moment to stop the show
The nighttime gets weary of implecations afterglow
Thinking: "Easy come, easy go"
You got here too late, it's often so
I guess that's why
I hope I get old before I die
Admit it turned out okay for someone who didn't try
Thinking it's time to get a hold
You got here too late, it's always so
it's always so, it's always so
Wasted and wounded, erased with the night
One man's conviction is another man's lie
I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly
and I'll be there a while, yes I'll be there a while.
Dustpaper coupons, there's a guy by the door
he said: "What makes me quit makes you go back for more".
This place isn't real man, this girl is a whore
watch me fall to the floor, but I'll go back for more.
Sometimes I wander
So I finally found you, and I lost you to love
No it sure wasn't this I was... thinkin' of
Put your silhouette on me and your sweetness above
and I can't get enough, no I can't get enough.
Wasted and wounded, this ain't no way to die
one man's cold turkey is another man's high
I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly
and I'll be there a while, yes I'll be there a while.
Sometimes I wander
Down on the floor, got a closer look at hell
You see, somebody pushed me, I just pretended that I fell.
I said that I adored you, but I could never tell
for all that I know I'll be gone when you go.
Music went through you and took you to a place
There ain't no doubt you'll find a welcoming embrace
I said that I loved you, another hawk in space
and you'll be there for a while and I'll be there for a while
Finding my own inarticulate prose
Weirding out strangers and laughing at those
Jaundiced and jaded postured and posed
Not that we're special, it's just that we're
Closing in on a place where we might get to be
Living real people regularly
Send you some stuff and be good like you asked
Must promise remember the sixth and the last
Thanks for anonymous invisible
Take us away
Thanks for not breaking like they wanted
Take us away
Get up in the morning
Day is a freight train
Carrier of sorrow
Pleasure and caffeine
Copy/paste, keep or waste
Myriads of options
(always choose the same flavour anyway)
Freedom is ours
Freedom is choice, choice
Choices that liberate
Day is a freight train
Minutes obliterate
Easier to break through
Meters of concrete
Easier to connect
To a full grown tiger
Sense of entitlement
You act like an accident
The world is your oyster
But it ain't the season yet
Flirt with the absurd
It's absurd to hurt
You know love can be curt
And eager and dangerous
Eager and flirtatious
Through the ages over perfect storms
Rain and snow
Hardship and danger zones
Excavated from the rocks of old
An ageless soul
Soldiered on, flesh and bones
And it's our second nature
And it's our time, your god dethroned
Flesh and bones
And danger zones
Did you get the warning
We're still on the same train
Full of longing
Sugar and nicotine
What is here will disappear
When longing is gone
They say
"Freedom is near"
Freedom is choice, choice
Choices eliminate
Day is a freight train
Computers communicate
Easier to break through
Top of the pop-charts
Easier to connect to an electric wire
Into temptation, over in doubt
Black night, neonlight into my house
talking talking talking about
Out of frustration, over in doubt
Hold me now, I'm hoping that you can explain
Little Arithmetics
Got me down, they're fooling me again and again
Little Arithmetics
Got me down
Sometimes I feel like going down south Sometimes I'm feeling alright
Sometimes I feel like I'm over and out Sometimes I'm losing my mind
Talking talking talking about Sometimes the day is the night
Into temptation, over in doubt Sometimes I don't wanna fight
Hold me now,
I'm hoping that you can explain
Little Arithmetics
Got me down, they're fooling me again and again
Little Arithmetics
Hummmm Hummm hummm hummm hummm
Huh, is this the question?
I doubt it no longer
But don't eat, drink and smoke filthy cigarettes before you drive
The brass man home twice, tries
It's your indecision that scares the peepee
out of people's master-pilic extravaganza
Hold fire, pressurize it's an automatic.
There's not much point to delve music
the Eurythmics couldn't clinch
An animal seems to trash its brain on London
Have to be casual and then his husband couldn't fake the shadow
He died without knowing he bet his life after
I'm scared
It's the cot on television that never goes anywhere
Without black stupidity
Out of phalanx
"omisch my baddish"
You know what they say?
They say I imitate Sharon Tate, but whose Vegas is it anyway?
A long syndicate for strangers in Bethlehem
it's the day of the night today
And we always feel sorry for what didn't occur to be unexpected
vulgar and sympathy
It's an insult but whose Vegas is dolt
Is it a question?
Or I turn and than you're knockin' on my back as my beautiful
aubergine-shape for mister beautiful
Whose Vegas always tends to not separate candy from benzene from
polyformium Jackson Brown shoes (come to it)
A self-sufficient servant it hurts
Such as one and seven in the middle of a terrifying French mistral
Breeze, ease, and turn me into your disease
I used to feel sad but I'm over it
His head isn't a comparison
Because I'm always askin' the same kinetically shit
like haha hahaha
I went swing with my friends
We broke the common and pro tradition like wise-up...
That's it, you see a chemo slicing
Considering we never had a brain useful
And even ten times a mosquito
I just can't burglarize mine
Fuck it
Is it a question?
It is!
She blew up sirloins
Find your countries right?
25 Deutsch Marks to the skin after parties through stage
In the back that is divers
Haha...
Is this the question?
Fanfare, I'm bringing the news
Time sticks like a bottle of glue
Lots of trouble is travelling through
Will you come tonight
New home, looks like a dream
Bite in you like a fresh tangerine
It's narcotic, a little bit mean
No pleasure is denied
Suicide soul
Tip toe in the valley of doom
Inhale the rock'n'roll fumes
Like a bee without a zoom
Wandering through the mist
Heaven's there for all to see
Eternity for a minute or three
Oh I just forgot what to be
So tell me what it is
Suicide soul
When she comes down the lights all fade
And so do we into a state ever after
It's time to revel and celebrate
What brings and keeps us here
Give it up for the wall and the nerve
Take it down for the cause they serve
Around the bush and around the curve
I'm crawling back to you
I can't stop cause it never began
My mind keeps on repeating this twang
Like a song that somebody sang
Now sing me something new
Suicide soul
When she comes down the lights all fade
And so do we in a state ever after
It's time to revel and celebrate
What brings and keeps us here
When she comes down we duplicate
Our mirrored gazes lazy from laughter
It's time to revel and celebrate
What brings and keeps us here
Your time
Not seen it passing
Your beauty no
Not seen it go
A moment
Made out of moments
Made out of gold
And your silver soul
And no one knows what you've become
You elegantly put us on
Forever and a day
Inside your fingers
My heart's the trigger
You pull with ease
It's my destiny
In times
That I went looking
I had no clue
Where to look for you
Cause no one knows what you've become
You elegantly put us on
Forever and a day
Somewhere over tired oceans
Underneath the stars
It's time to become who you are, my love
That sad look shake it off
The road has been too long
We're all just passengers
In time and space
An end we never chase
But fate will be erased
Marvelling at
How your beauty stays
Your time
Not seen it passing
Your beauty showed
But you had to go
A moment
Made out of moments
Made out of gold
And your silver soul
And no one knows what you've become
You elegantly put us on
Forever and a day...
I'm on a boat
I'm not at home (x2)
Don't have a boat
Don't have a home
I'm on a boat
The stories that you told me
sure they made me laugh
Now the ruckus in my headband
works on your behalf
I don't want you to go
The way is not the way
I don't want you to follow
the way I am today
The secrets you had for me
I found them in the yard
Need I say I just knew you'd play
it dirty from the start
I don't want you to go
The way is not the way
I don't want you to follow
the way I am today
This house has got an ashtray problem
This house lives by the minute
This house contains two people
who just never want me in it
I don't want you to go
The way is not the way
I don't want you to follow
She's a half-breed
She was brought up for the game
But she looks like
But she looks like she can win
Like to see behind her smile
To see what is movin'
Like to stay with her a while
To see what is movin'
Oh the picture
Oh the photo says it all
But there's room there
for every man to fall
Like to hide behind her shirt
I bet it is warm there
Like to take her for a flirt
don't think there's any harm there
My friends all say
I'd better play
another game
another day
She's a concept
she's constructed by her mom
Don't you see it
doesn't that just sound like fun
Oh to be part of her plan
I'm no more than a tool now
Oh to one day be her man
I guess I have to cool down
I guess I have to wait around
For in my mind I work out
A part of me can still be found
Out among the show-outs
Smashing my guitar on the ground
The muscle pulling in crowds
Working on that lea down - OK
I'm happy
I was brought up just the same
Oh amusing is not part of my game
How do you believe that I fit the shoe
If only I could tell her
Baby can't you see I'm just like you
{This is an interpretation}
The years they must be good to you it seems
And we share our dissevered gene
And he's twenty-five sittin' and no complaining
He says you gotta be over the fuzz
You remind even me
That I'm not an absentee
Fuck 'em all, but you mean
And you say you want rid of me
You're not kidding me !
Who's she gonna mary at all
And his face is half of a ball
And he's just been flattering his ??? doubling
He's staring all over this wall
But he thinks he's allowed
To be smothering in love
But he knows he's a cheese
He's shrubbery
My dynamo, dynamo, it's hard to keep the animo from driftin' away nowadays
The horror, the pain, let's get into details, the bass, the piano, the friction of dynamo
The first draft of a worst case scenario
Every thought is at some way of of keeping the flavor, like their going for the brain to chew on
Compatible allies and as dead as a dice, it's the thing between nowhere and the opposite side
It's the something hidden behind the eloquent surface, father of fuckups you did it on purpose
I decline to believe that it's personal, hey, I know that you do and I'll hold it against you
It's the bald man's dream to grow hair, baby, but a lame don't need legs, he needs a wheelchair
So if you're to busy in having too much to offer and you can not decide where to go
Do the low yo yo, take a swing at the dynamo on a day like this
It's hard to keep the animo from drifting away
One-liner: the greeks had it carved in a tombstone, 'epigram' they said, last tribute to the dead
Well the horror, the pain and the alphabet from a to migraine, from nausea to z.
Are you listenin' you fool, you magnificent liar?
Feel free but don't feel too comfortable, it's already a quarter to three
Oh they say that time presses, but time doesn't press
It's just a figure for motion and emotional unrest
It's a matter of seeing and of being seen
As far as I'm concerned time is the state of my jeans
So if you wanna come down for some hangin' around
If you wanna come down for some hangin' around
If you wanna come down for some hangin' around
If you wanna come down for some hangin' around
Oh dynamo, dynamo, it's hard to keep the animo from driftin' away nowadays
The horror, the pain, let's get into details, the bass, the piano, the friction of dynamo
The first draft of a worst case scenario
It's the first draft of a worst case scenario, it's the first draft of a worst case scenario
It's the first draft of a worst case scenario, it's the first draft of a worst case scenario
It's the first draft of a worst case scenario, it's the first draft of a worst case scenario
It's the first draft of a worst case scenario, it's the first draft of a worst case scenario
It's the first draft of a worst case scenario, it's the first draft of a worst case scenario
It's still the same but
no one believes me (x5)
It ain't no nice shot
It takes all to please me
You've got a hotspot
No one will cheese me
It's still the same but
no one believes me
Everything's the same but
no one believes me
Lots of talking
goin' around
