Braxton Belyeu: I'm no more afraid of the Grim Reaper than I am of a Presbyterian on Mother's Day.
David Gale: I fell of the wagon and hurt myself.
David Gale: They wanted me to die, knowing the key to my freedom was out there somewhere!
David Gale: Death is a gift.
David Gale: We spend our whole life trying to stop death. Eating, inventing, loving, praying, fighting, killing. But what do we really know about death? Just that nobody comes back. Then there comes a point - a moment - in life when your mind outlives its desires, its obsessions, when your habits survive your dreams, and when your losses... Maybe death is a gift. You wonder. All I can tell you is that by this time tomorrow I'll be dead. I know when. I just cannot say why. You have 24 hours to find out.
[Governor Hardin and David Gale are engaged in a debate on Batter's Box]::Governor Hardin: Alan, let me say something I always say and I'm gonna keep on saying. And that is that I HATE killin'. That's why my administration is willing to kill to stop it.::David Gale: So, you don't subscribe to the idea that 'a good state is the one that protects its most despised members?'::Governor Hardin: It's a nice liberal idea. But, like most nice liberal ideas, naive.::David Gale: It's a quote from you, Governor. From your first state attorney campaign::Governor Hardin: [flustered] You've got me, Professor. But let me, in my defense, offer YOU a quote. Winston Churchill: 'If you're not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart, if you're still a liberal at thirty, you've got no brain.' [studio audience laughs]::David Gale: So, basically, you feel, to choose another quote, 'society must be cleansed of elements which represent its own death.'::Governor Hardin: Well, yes. I'd have to agree. [laughs] Did I say that too?::David Gale: No, that was Hitler.
Bitsey Bloom: Of course he sympathizes with murderers... he is one!
David Gale: How do we start?::Bitsey Bloom: We start with... you telling me what I'm doing here.::David Gale: No one who looks through that glass sees a person. They see a crime. I'm not David Gale. I'm a murderer and a rapist... four days shy of his execution.
Constance Harraway: You wanna tell me what's up?::David Gale: Nothing. Everything. Something profoundly stupid happened last night.::Constance Harraway: I hope you used a condom.::[David looks at Constance]::Constance Harraway: Oh Jesus Christ, David. Was she one of yours?::David Gale: It was Berlin.::Constance Harraway: Oh great! Oh, that's great. I can hear the grapevine now. "They had to suspend her so that Gale could dick her with a conscience." A power differential equals coercion. That is great. You're so weak!::David Gale: You know, you're not my wife, Constance. Thank God!::Constance Harraway: Oh, well, don't worry. It's not a position I aspire to, so fuck you.
Berlin: Sorry about being late. There was, you know, a thing.::David Gale: Yeah, there usually is, Berlin.::Berlin: Look, I know I'm not doing too well, and, to torture a cliché, I will do anything to pass.::David Gale: Anything, huh?::Berlin: Any. Thing.::David Gale: Ok, Berlin. [leans in close] I will give you a good grade, I will give you a very, very good grade if you just (whispers into her ear) study.
Berlin ( /bɜrˈlɪn/; German pronunciation: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn] ( listen)) is the capital city of Germany and one of the 16 states of Germany. With a population of 3.5 million people, Berlin is Germany's largest city and is the second most populous city proper and the eighth most populous urban area in the European Union. Located in northeastern Germany, it is the center of the Berlin-Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has 5.9 million residents from over 190 nations. Located in the European Plains, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers and lakes.
First documented in the 13th century, Berlin was the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War II, the city became divided into East Berlin—the capital of East Germany—and West Berlin, a West German exclave surrounded by the Berlin Wall (1961–1989). Following German reunification in 1990, the city regained its status as the capital of Germany, hosting 147 foreign embassies.

Just like a young boy
running down the road
I'm singing out
the same old song
Can't go back
the way I started from
The road goes on and on
Won't you help me, help me,
help me, help me,
Help me, help me,
help me, help me,
Take my way on home
Help me make my way on home
After Berlin.
Lights are shining
in the German sky
Cosmic walls
between the moon and I
Don't know where I started from
So won't you take me, take me,
take me, take me,
Take me, take me,
take me, take me,
Just the way I am
Ah, take me, just the way I am
After Berlin.
All day cruising
down the corridor
Seeing things
I never seen before
Tomorrow morning in old Berlin
Where they lock you out
or lock you in
Won't you save me, save me,
save me, save me,
Save me, save me,
save me, save me,
From the final day
Save me from the final day
After Berlin.
Just like a young boy
running down the road
I'm singing out
the same old song
I can't go back
the way I used to go
The road goes on and on
Won't you help me, help me,
help me, help me,
Help me, help me,
help me, help me,
Find my way back home
Won't you help me
make my way on home
After Berlin.
Help me, help me,
help me, help me.
Help me, help me,
help me, help me.
In Berlin by the wall
You were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice
We were in a small cafe
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
Come to your border
Looking back into the night
Falling down on the city lights far away
Tell me the answer
"Who knows the wrong from the right ?"
The years may come and years they go
You've seen the bridges burning
And the wheels of time keep turning
CHORUS:
Like a ship in the night
You passed along the highways of my life
And now my mind you're always in.
And the ten thirty flight
Will soon be heading my way
As she sails across the skyway of Berlin
Thought I heard your bells cry
Bringing the life to your face
The time for tears has passed away
Can't you see the night is lifting
And the sands of time are shifting
Like a ship ...
Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen
Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been.
Came to your border
Looking back into the night
Falling down on the city lights far away
Tell me the answer
Who knows the wrong from the right?
Years may come and years they go
You've seen your bridges burning
And the wheels of time keep turning
Like a ship in the night
You passed along the highways of my life
And now my mind you're always in
And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way
As she sails across the skyway of Berlin
Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen
Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been
Like a ship in the night
You passed along the highways of my life
And now my mind you're always in
And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way
As she sails across the skyway of Berlin
Track 6 of _Season's End_
The mascara'd blonde from the Berliner bar
Rises at twilight, gets dressed in a daze
Black leather crackles and cold water runs
As she touches the walls of her memory maze
And the shadows of men she has known fill her day
She's held half the world in her arms so they say
But she wakes up without them with a hole in her heart
And she puts on her clothes lives her life behind bars
The mascara'd blonde from the berliner bar
Sighs at the skylight gets lost in the haze
Black leather crackles an cold water runs
As she touches the walls of her memory maze
Someone got stranded in No-Man's land
Dancing in the spotlight to the sound of clapping hands
Nobody knows who's side he was on
It's a risk that you take in No-Man's land
Nobody knows what made him decide
To run for freedom and to certain suicide
When they turn off the guns and his fingers uncurl
He's clutching a photograph of a Berlin party girl
Come in from your checkpoints on your lonely roads
Come in from your ditches in you silent fields
Where intensified light from a rifle sight
Makes the darkness day
And the day too bright
And we wake up without you
We wake up without you
With a hole in our hearts
You mad dog shaven head bottle boy Freaks
In martens & khaki drunk on sake
You stare at yourself in the cruel flush of dawn
Terrified sunken eyed withered and drawn
The Butcher, the Baker, the Munitions Maker,
The Over-Achiever, the Armistice Breaker,
The Free-Base Instructor, the Lightning-Conductor
The Psycho, the Sailor, the Tanker, the Tailor
The Black-Market Mailer
The Quick and the Dead
The Spotlight Dancer
The Quick and the Dead
Es stinkt und es ist laut,
Und wieder hektisch und so komisch elektrisch,
Das ist es was ich an der Stadt nicht mag.
Ich höre aus'm Auto fette Bässe,
Krieg' sie voll in die Fresse,
Und mir ist klar, das wird heut' nicht mein Tag.
Ich steh' ganz hinten unter Linden
Will verschwinden, will sie mich endlichen lassen,
Ich spüre wie mein Blutdruck steigt.
Ich bin genervt, steh' im Stau,
Da sehe plötzlich diese Frau
Und kann's nicht fassen,
Ihre Augen haben mir gezeit...
Da ist (sun, sun, sun) Sonne in Berlin
(sun, sun, sun) Sonne in Berlin
Ich sehe kurz in ihr Gesicht und glaube sie bemerkt mich nicht
Sie schaut nach oben, ich stelle mich ins Halteverbot
Ich stürme durch die Menschenmassen
Krieg' sie nicht zu fassen und werde geschoben
Und natürlich steht die Ampel gerade auf Rot
Ich seh die Fresse einer Politesse doch ich habe leider kein Interesse
Sie denkt sie regelt hier den Verkehr.
Ich such nur diese eine Frau da wird der Himmel plötzlich grau und
Nässe, ist auf den Strassen um mich her
Und es gibt (rain, rain, rain) Regen in Berlin
Und es gibt (rain, rain, rain) Regen in Berlin
Und jetzt passiert was keiner je geglaubt hat,
Ich fahre wirklich jeden Tag in die Hauptstadt
Ich stehe zwischen tausend Menschen ganz alleine
und ich hoffe so sehr ich finde endlich meine,
(Love, love, love) Liebe in Berlin
(Love, love, love) Liebe in Berlin
(Love, love, love) Liebe in Berlin
(Love, love, love)

These sore red eyes explore the room again.
The signed pictures of film stars who stayed here in eras that knew of no wall.
Berlin... Berlin... Berlin...Berlin...
Part of the world lives
On this island in Germany
Ans still out there through the window at six in the morning.
The essence survives.
Berlin... Berlin... Berlin... Berlin...
Come they told me, down to the dark clubs at night
They'll surprise you, the one's who are asleep when it's light
So outrageous, like tropical birds in a cage
Out from underneath their stones.
Berlin... Berlin... Berlin... Berlin...
Berlin... Berlin... Berlin... Berlin...
Young faces new ideals, in search of paradise
They merge into the history, the theatre of memories
taht make up the feel of
Berlin... Berlin... Berlin... Berlin...
da uhvati licno Adolfa za usi,
a kada je stigao negde do Beca,
vec su ga prestigli Ameri i Rusi.
Te zime je bilo vruce u Berlinu,
na nebu je pisalo B-52
i veliki buketi od usijanog gvozdja,
su padali na krovove k'o grozdovi od grozdja
Na Berlin, nisam mislio na Berlin,
ja sam mislio na Berlin

Watchin' every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame
Turnin' every turn to some secret place inside
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watchin', I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitatin' to become the fated ones
Turnin' every turn to some secret place to hide
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn to me and say, my love
Take my breath away
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed, I called you and turned to hear you say
If only for today, I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watchin' every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion, somewhere there's a love in flames
Turnin' every turn to some secret place inside
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn my way and say
Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love
She never sleeps, never laughs, never feels the sun
And when you ask her how she is
Tired and broken
She works alone, eats alone, drinks alone at night
She has a family far away
And she doesn't know them
And every day goes by like a silent dream
Behind the same four walls closing off her screams
Captured, inside a trance
And once upon a time she had hopes of her own
But as the tears go by she sinks like a stone
Is there someone somewhere who cares
One day she woke up to a life
Without anyone to hold at night
She looked up to the sky
The world is waiting
Take what you want
Release yourself from the past
The world is waiting
Step through the door
Finding a way at last oh-oh
He never cries, never talks of the youth he's lost
And when you ask him what he needs
It's just dignity
Cause every day he's pulled like a man on a string
9 to 9 he's working down on his knees
To feed the children he never sees
One day he turned out the light
Without anyone to hold at night
Then he opened up his eyes
The world is waiting
Take what you want
Release yourself from the past
The world is waiting
Step through the door
Finding a way at last oh-oh
Don't look back
There's just one track
The weight on your shoulders
Is only in your mind
The future's here
Trapped in the Shayla funk - Excorism
Known to do wonders for the beat - Urism
Say what in the Shayla funk - Excorism
Known to do wonders for the beat - Urism
Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history.
She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay
And she goes far away
Green trees call to me
I am free but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone, trapped by its beauty
Shayla turned to run away
To leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came
Suddenly some subtle entity
Some cosmic energy brushed her like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
Cars on the freeway.
Bright lights and thunder
Trapped in the Shayla funk - Excorism
Known to do wonders for the beat - Urism
Say what in the Shayla funk - Excorism
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh
Back against the darkest wall
Knowing that it dare not fall
The mannequin is real
The hair across your empty eye
Says, "Careful mystery is mine"
Hide and seek if you desire
I started with hello
By chance are you alone
Silence turned my eyes onto my feet
Sorry to disturb, losing all my nerve
As I walked away he grabbed my arm
Turned me around and said, "Try this
Sex me, talk me, sex me, talk me
Sex me, talk me, sex me, talk me"
Whirling dervish, careless whirl
Dancing wildly for the girls
Challenged by the sudden change
Attention for a baby's cry
Turning eyes to he and I
A smile says the jokes on me
We sat down again
His eyes took me in
Was I having a good time, time, time
I said, "Hey Mr. Man, I don't understand"
A finger on my lips says, "Stop"
A hint is left but never dropped, try this
Sex me, talk me, sex me, talk me
Sex me, talk me, sex me, talk me
Driving home in silent car
I wonder just how much, how far
Every place the engine ran
"Would you like to come inside?" He flashed that smile
No thanks, there will be another time
And as I pulled away, try this
Sex me, talk me, sex me, talk me
Sex me, talk me, sex me, talk me
I know that you're removed
It seems that you're so busy
We barely recognize you here
Do you recognize me?
Are you walking away?
Or have you gone?
Are they just these little steps you're taking?
Only life you're taking
My world you're breaking
Only God forsaken
My heart you're raping
My life you're shaking
It's just that you're removed
You don't look me in the eye now
It's only 5 a.m. my dear
Do you want to lie now?
Is she seventeen?
Or 21?
Are they just these little steps you're taking?
Only lives you're raping
Only God forsaken
Only love you're taking
little love you're making
My heart you're breaking
Are you walking away
Or have you gone?
Are you leaving me?
Are these little steps you're taking?
My love you're breaking
Only lives you're shaking
My God you're hating
Only girls you're raping
My life you're taking
It's my little heart you're raping
It's your love you're faking
No more lines tonight
Hold on to me and you won't hurt so much
So you want just a loving touch
I want you to be free
But I can't do it all
I'll wear
Pink and velvet for you
Pink and velvet for you
I'll wear tonight
Lost the only love I knew
Hearing death released you
Who can help at all
I need someone to talk to
I wear tonight
Where is my shining knight
Fink and velvet for you
Pink and velvet for you
No more lines tonight
So I will use my loving touch
I give nothing for free
Turning into dust
The needle was our life, our hope
So it wont hurt so much
Our trust
Pink and velvet for you
I wear tonight
Are you my shining knight
You broke into my life
And stole my heart
Without a single clue
You fell apart
Well, now you're back again
You say you've changed
Well, I've got news for you
You're guilty just the same
Now it's my turn
Now it's my turn
You hurt me then
I'll never let you hurt me again
Sweet surrender found me
On my knees
My eyes were full of love
I could not see
You left the scene of the crime
Hit and run
Well I don't think you'll get away
The pain has just begun
'Cause now it's my turn
Now it's my turn
You hurt me then
I'll never let you hurt me again
Oh it's my turn
Oh you'll never learn
Just like me you'll be
A casualty of your love
You have the right
To remain silent
Anything you say can
And will be used against you
In a court of love
Now it's my turn
Now it's my turn
You hurt me then
I'll never let you hurt me again
Oh it's my turn
Oh you'll never learn
Just like me you'll be
A casualty of your love
It's my turn
Oh it's my turn
You hurt me then
I'll never let you hurt me again
Oh it's my turn
Oh you'll never learn
Just like me you'll be
Rock star, sing my song
Be my brand new toy
You're a Marvel Man
A fallen poster boy
Rock star, sing my song
Make me yours alone
You're the highest high
The lowest of the low
You look down at me
I hear in whispers what you want
Seeing where you go
I follow on the spot
I want to know you I want to know your name
Push me to the wall
I want to know you I want to know you'll stay
I know I'm going to want it all
I want to know you I want to know your name
Sacred and profane
Rock star, sing my song
So close I hear you breathe
I love you Marvel Man
And your obscenity
You look down at me
All wrong, so real
How do you know me
And everything I feel
I want to know you I want to know your name
Push me to the wall
I want to know you I want to know you'll stay
You know I'm gonna want it all
I want to know you I want to know your name
Sacred and profane
I want to know you I want to know your name
Push me to the wall
I want to know you I want to know you'll stay
I think I'm gonna have it all
I want to know you I want to know your name
You touched my hand.
You started a rumor of love.
Wanting to believe once again.
You touched my heart.
You started a rumor of love.
Another dream that surely must end.
Chorus:
Someone told me you never said, stay.
I shook my head, turned around and walked away.
Someone told me a rumor of love.
I need to know if it's me you're thinking of.
Someone told me you never said, stay.
All I know is you're here with me today.
You touched my soul.
You started a rumor of love.
We touched there was temperture
I'm not the same
Now i'm passing through your door
You're the object of of my smile
I'm a life machine
It's a pleasure game
Sentimental sound on sound
You've broken down the system
Time to switch the scene
You're the passion in me
You're the vision i see
A pleasure victim
Some i recognize
Simple figures fill my mind
Bodies always look the same
To the touch there's always you
Never see their eyes
Flaming candles, whispered words
The painted faces on the street
Caricatures of long ago
Oh they were young and oh so sweet
Down beyond the boulevard
Knock on doors and empty halls
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever
When you see the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
The reeling figures pass on by
Like ghosts in some forgotten play
Beneath the black and empty sky
Music plays and figures dance
With partners chosen by chance
And still some times remember
The masquerade's forever
They reached for tomorrow
But tomorrow's more of the same
So they reached for tomorrow
But tomorrow never came
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
One by one and two by two
Past eight by tens in shattered frames
The players try to leave the room
Frantic puppets on a string
And all the while the music sings
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever
When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
I need you
When I look at the lines on my face
And the little kid behind my eyes
I want you
When I look at the rocky road ahead
And the little streets we left behind
No more accidents, your time had come
And no coincidence, no more right or wrong
But I'm here you're gone, we were one
Think I've lost my mind, 'cause despite my reservations I know
I feel you here around me now
Think I've lost my mind, 'cause despite my reservations I know
I feel your arms around me now
I hate you
When I look at the bridges I have burned
And the crossroads I stand in now
I call you
I cry for the years we could've had
And the bitterness that I can't drown
No more accidents, keep it all inside
But no coincidence I'm so open wide
Once only I could see the fear inside
Think I've lost my mind, 'cause despite my reservations I know
I feel you all around me now
Think I've lost my mind, 'cause despite my reservations I know
I feel your arms around me now
No more accidents, keep it all inside
But no coincidence I'm so open wide
Once only I could see all the fear inside
I want to show you all the love I hide
Think I've lost my mind, 'cause despite my reservations I know
I feel you here around me now
Have I lost my mind, 'cause despite my reservations I know
I'm alone sitting with my empty glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro
Wore white smiling as you took my hand
So removed we spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
Ooh I can see it now smiling as you pulled away
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the metro
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the metro
I'm alone sitting with my broken glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies
- Sorry -
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
I see you every night, I pull your strings
You dance for me, you laugh, I make you sing
I want complete control, I say when
Let's try again
I see you every day, you walk on by
I try to speak but then I wonder why
I have you every night all to myself
Never alone asleep, you're gone
I wrote a line or two, tried to explain
In your morality it's not the same
I want you on your knees, I want you down
Never a sound
You could be, yes you could be, the one I love
You could be the sexy thing I'm dreaming of
You could spend the night with me
And never know you were here, in my dreams
You could be, yes you could be, my slow romance
You could be a master in my lovers' dance
You could scream out loud
And there's no one to hear, only me, in my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
I see you every night, I pull your strings
You dance for me, you laugh, I make you scream
I want complete control, I say when
Let's try again
Let's try, let's try, let's try again
You could be, yes you could be, the one I love
You could be the sexy thing I'm dreaming of
You could spend the night with me
And never know you were here, in my dreams
You could be, yes you could be, my slow romance
You could be a master in my lovers' dance
You could spend the night with me
And never know you were here, in my dreams
You could be, yes you could be, the one I love
You could be the sexy thing I'm dreaming of
You could spend the night with me
Rivin' up your engine
Listen to her howling row.
Metall under tension
Beggin you to touch and go
Highway to the dangerzone
Going rigth into the dangerzone
Heading into twiligth
Spreading out her wings tonight
She's jumpin' ya of track
Shovin' into overdrive
Highway to the dangerzone
Going rigth into the dangerzone
Closer to the edge
Higher the intensity
Futher to the edges
allways where I burn to be
Highway to the dangerzone
Watching as you sleep so easy
Satisfied my need and desire
Wonder why
I'm wide awake and left alone shaken
Still I cry
Paralyzed, our love tearing me apart
I love you more each day
I feel you in every way
I love the music you play on my heartstrings
Reach for touch
You play on my heartstrings
I slept in your arms, content to go on dreaming
We used to awake into morning
Time stood still
A nightmare too real to imagine
Paralyzed tonight, tearing me apart
Losing you
Smile at me
You wake to the sound of another day
Feel the way I do nowBut nobody ever made me feel
Like flames
Something you've heard, somewhere you've seen
Too real to ignore you've chosen not to believe
From the black of their pain to the white of their fear
In the dust they die while eden lies near
The freedom bought changed hands, was sold
This heat of love has turned ice-cold
We just can't escape it
Like flames reaching out from the sun
From the garden of love been banished too long
And the balance will shift between the week and the strong
Once they would beg and they would plead but now they demand
Divided by those that need and those that command
The freedom bought changed hands, was sold
This heat of love has turned ice-cold and
We never learn but we know too well
Heaven's died and gone to Hell
We just can't escape it
Like flames reaching out from the sun
We can't defeat it
Like flames reaching out from the sun
Now you watch but you should have run
Like flames that leap from the base of the sun
And you dream you're free but you'll awake
Too much too late, too much too late
The freedom bought changed hands, was sold
This heat of love has turned ice-cold and
We never learn but we know too well
Heaven's died and gone to Hell
We just can't escape it
Like flames reaching out from the sun
We can't defeat it
Like flames reaching out from the sun
We just can't escape it
Cool and so breezy
Take it or leave it
Keeping your distance
Arrows to your heart just bounce away
Well I see you bleeding
Your sad eyes are bleeding
The poison is spreading
So cleanse yourself with tears of salvation
Forget the pain
Hide away in my arms
Oh where's the shame?
Cry away there's no harm
Lost in a nightmare
Falling through thin air
Faster and faster
Love is getting closer and closer
It's time that you wake up
From haircuts and makeup
No need to be frightened
Trust in the love that you dream of
Forget the pain
Hide away in my arms
Oh where's the shame?
Cry away there's no harm
You'll be my hero
Start back at zero
Throw off your mask
Freedom at last
Trust in a needed friend
It's time that you wake up
From haircuts and makeup
No need to be frightened
Trust in the love that you dream of
You'll be my hero
Forget the pain
Hide away in my arms
Oh where's the shame?
Cry away there's no harm
Forget the pain
Hide away in my arms
Oh where's the shame?
Cry away there's no harm, no harm
Forget the pain
Hide away
Where's the shame?
Oh cry away
Forget the pain
Where's the shame?
Stop, now let's go again
Go, don't stop again
No, I don't want to be alone
Yes, it's a time for fun
Dance, till the night is done
Look, it's a motion picture show
Dancing in Berlin
Dancing in Berlin
Dancing in Berlin
Dancing in Berlin
I wanna see you
East, such a mystery
West, open history
You, just a moment flashing by
One, there's no time for this
Two, grant me just one wish
Please, there's no wall in front of you
Dancing in Berlin
I wanna see you
Dancing in Berlin
I wanna be with you
Dancing in Berlin
You and me, boy
Dancing in Berlin
I wanna see you
Dancing in Berlin
I wanna see you
Dancing in Berlin
I wanna be with you

I wanna, wanna see you
Dancing in Berlin and
On the floor all night
Dancing in Berlin and
On the floor all night
Dancing in Berlin

Dancing in Berlin
You're driving along...about 95 miles and hour
Sun's up, it's a hot day
And blue sky, there's not a soul around you
You're alone
Hey little god with your foot to the pedal
Hands on the wheel staring out through the windshield
Hair streaking back with the wind like a raven
Over your shoulder, all is forgotten
Under the rubber, the road is afire
Sweat on your body and rust on the chromium
One motivation, a single desire
Keep on the move, don't let anyone near you
Here comes confession time
The ghost of my past
On my shoulder now
This is confession time for me
Here comes confession time
The ghost of all
The years has tracked me down
It's confession time for me
Now thinking back to a home
When you had one
Back down the road
In the dust you remember
Loves you left
When you woke up surrounded
Now you're alone, no one
To turn to
What do you hide with your ray-bans
What do you love when you look in the mirror
There's no escape from the voices inside you
Here comes confession time
The ghost of my past
On my shoulder now
This is confession time for me
Here comes confession time
The ghost of all
The years has tracked me down
It's confession time for me
Rain down
And nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
Rain on me
Rain down
And nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
You can drive on a road to nowhere
Or you can take the wheel and
Turn it to your heart
TNT pass it around
Give it to me
'Cause I believe I'm gonna need help
Defending my streets
Your guns won't win the wild west
My weapon won't fail when the button's pressed
Dynamite
Blowin' sky high
Blowin' sky high tonight
Hostility 'cause I don't like you
And you don't like me
All the cops on the beat won't help me survive
Assassins and thieves
Thank God for the bravery I possess
Thank heaven the righteous ones we're all blessed
Dynamite
Blowin' sky high
Blowin' sky high tonight
Well I have no na na na
Kiss it all goodbye
Blowin' sky high
Blowin' sky high
Blowin' sky high tonight
Well I have no na na na
Kiss it all goodbye
Blowin' sky high
Whoa na na na
Whoa no, whoa no na na na
Whoa na na na
Whoa no, whoa no
What I need
Give it to me
All I need
Where do we go from here?
The sun is shining
Look into a night time sky
As seasons change
A star is calling
In darkness you'll see
Why are you so afraid?
Fall -- fall in love
A new light
Fall -- fall in love
You know I can't read your mind
Tell me if it hurts too much
Colors all around
If never spoken
The door is open
Smile, cry, then laugh out loud
Feel the autumn breeze
Come alive
If you choose a different path
I'll stay be your side
Where do we go from here?
We'll say goodbye
Open your heart
A shooting star could shine and touch you
Here comes the light
You will stay tonight
I will know it's not right
You know me
And so I'll see you tomorrow
You play me for a fool
I let you make the rules
Baby, you know me
And so I'll see you tomorrow
I know you
As always beg, steal or borrow
You come in my life
With your sad, searchin' eyes
A scene full of hunger and pain
Pull at my heart
You drag out my tears
I give and you take and then you're, gone
One day I will say 'No'
Until then on with the show
Baby, you know me
And so I'll see you tomorrow
I know you
As always beg, steal or borrow
Pull at my heart
You drag out my tears
I give and you take and then you're gone
And you know me
And so I'll see you tomorrow
I know you
As always beg, steal or borrow
I, I, I know you
Always beg, steal or borrow
He's too loud and so young
And too lucky in love
Too hot and too wild
And so never enough
Crazy and nothing at all like my dreams
Dripping with sweat on my angel's wings
He's too pretty so nasty so wanting for more
Too lazy too sexy to throw out my door
Crazy I'm falling apart at the seams
Dripping with sweat on my angel's wings
Angels fly
Above the sky
So close your eyes
And hold on tight
Angels fly
I don't know why
Close your eyes
And hold on tight
He's too rowdy too happy too foolish and free
Too careless and reckless and shameless for me
Crazy I'm falling apart at the seams
It's wrong but you know what, I'd give anything
You can't kiss a yacht or cuddle or Rolls
Have a fight with a mansion or hug your pole
You can't relax with cocaine, get wasted with diamonds
Sleep with your gold, it blows
'Cause the clock goes ticking by, all the money
And the clock goes ticking by, all your games
All that I ever need is inside of me now
Waiting for you
And if I ever believe love just isn't enough anymore
Then shoot me now
You can't attack a Renoir or fuck a Merlot
Whine at your big TV or sell out your soul
You try to blame the champaigne and cry with a Warhol
You die alone, it blows
'Cause your life goes flying by, all the money
And your life goes flying by, all your games
All that I ever need is inside of me now
Waiting for you
And if I ever believe love just isn't enough anymore
Then shoot me now
I believe in the one love nation
I believe in the human integration
I believe that there's magic up our sleeves
So now it's time to spread it around
I believe in the good vibration
I believe there should be no segregation
I believe that there's magic up our sleeves
So now it's time to spread it around
Round and round and round and around and around
We gotta spread it
Around and round and round and around and around...
''cause in the blink of an eye, you could turn off your mind
In the beat of a drum, you could dance to the sun
And the world is alive, let tomorrow decide
In the morning time
I believe in the y generation
I believe in the age of innovation
I believe there's a cure for the disease
And now we gotta spread it around
I believe that we're God's creation
I believe in loving fornication
I believe that there's magic up our sleeves
And now it's time to spread it around
Round and round and round and around and around
We gotta spread it
Around and round and round and around and around...
''cause in the blink of an eye, you could turn off your mind
In the beat of a drum, you could dance 'til the sun
And the world is alive, let tomorrow decide
In the morning time
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
''cause in the blink of an eye, you could turn off your mind
In the beat of a drum, you could dance 'til the sun
And the world is alive, let tomorrow decide
A man is walking alone
A woman cries at home
They could be anyone
Without each other, how
Could they live through all of the lies?
Intentions don't provide
So cling to those who you love
The only answer
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
They tell you try to have hope
And fight for all you can
These words, you've heard them before
So easy to believe
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
A man is walking alone
A woman cries at home
They could be anyone
The only answer
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
I was fine, I was alone, and I was strong.
Now you're here, and I'm so weird it must be love.
Now I don't have any protection incase you go.
Oh I need a suit of armour for my soul.
Strung out, only you unwind me.
I'm lost, only you can find me.
Your needle taken deep inside me.
You've become my drug. [x2]
He was fine, we had good times, we said our vows.
'Til he lied, said goodbye, and the bomb went off.
Everything I ever built on blew apart.
Now I need a suit of armous for my heart.
Strung out, only you unwind me.
I'm lost, only you can find me.
Your needle taken deep inside me.
You've become my drug.
Another loveaholic wanting the high.
Another loveaholic wanting the high...
Another loveaholic just wanna get high?
Now I don't have any protection incase you go...
Oh I need a suit of armour for my soul...
But I bleed when I'm alone.
Strung out, only you unwind me.
I'm lost, only you can find me.
Your needle taken deep inside me.
You've become my drug. [x2]
Another loveaholic wanting the high.
Another loveaholic wanting the high...
Another loveaholic you wanna get high?
Touch me, hold me, whirl away
Silence, sadness, white and grey
Torture, torture, twisted love
kiss me, kick me, feel my blood
Forever, for now, my heart screams for you
Desperate memories, broken and true
Living for tears now, I'm dying for love
Merging and fading, forgiving again
We cross the street
You hold my hand
Afraid to let go and if i walked away
Would you know why
And left you there
You are the answer now
You don't know
You don't know
You can be everything
You are the reason and the rhyme
You won't believe it now
You don't know anymore
We walk into your room
A mirror's caught your reflection
You walk away and call to me
To fill in the frame
You are the only one
You don't know
You are the fire of love
You can believe it now
You don't know
You don't know anymore
I walk this road
You are the reason and the rhyme
You follow me
I don't know why
And if i walked away
And left you there
You can buy me a daiquiri
You can take me home and tear my clothes off
Here am I, married? No, I'm celibate
Want a 'lude, I don't care
The feeling's numb but we cry, oh, aah
Here am I making sure you get your share
Well, isn't this a night?
You have a wife, a little girl at home
Never mind, nice to know you, wave goodbye
Touch, touch, touch me, can you stay tonight?
I don't want you to leave my side
Talk, talk, talk to me, I need to know
Will you remember me tomorrow?
Well, if you say you love me I might believe
That you see something special in me
And then the days go by and you're not there
If you want me, touch me, touch me now, now
Touch, touch, touch me, can you stay tonight?
I don't want you to leave my side
Talk, talk, talk to me, I need to know
Will you remember me tomorrow?
Talk, talk, talk to me, can you stay tonight?
I don't want you to leave my side
Talk, talk, talk to me, I need to know
I'm a big fat new perversion
In the closet of your mind
I'm the swelling in your darkroom
When the fantasy unwinds
I'm the stormy in your weather
I'm the living in the lines
I'm the way you hold together
And the way you lose your mind

Pleasure Victim
I'm thinking
faces changing pictures come to mind
sensation
try to change the subject
stare reveal me, still i want to know
capture time in a photograph
well i say "how do you do"
if only your lie would disappear
why don't you plaster your face
shatters my mirrored view
i'll crack you open, smash you down
then i just might believe
i repeat
your mad charade
this s. r. game you play's a freeze
indifference
greetings and smiles
you've got yours now i've got... mine
i've got to swallow your pride
shallow men hear no rhyme
what do you see in there
furniture shifts as you walk by
why don't you look in my eyes
plastic melts in a world of smiles
i'm laughing
hurt me, hurt me, now the joke's on you
satisfy your conscience
stop talking, stop talking
tear me open and leave me here to bleed
I feel that I've lasted a long line of broken hearts
You say it's over
I want to talk, I never thought I would fall apart
But I still love you
Give me the time, I'll show you I'm not your enemy
Let's end the cold war
One night is all that I ask
I'm ready to fight 'cause I want you back
A heart needs defending - When love goes to war
There's no happy ending - When love goes to war
Tears in the night wash over eyes filled with memories
Of your affection
Where do I stand I never planned on this misery
I need protection
You walk away so easily from the battle grounds
Of my emotion
All's fair in passion and war
But my disadvantage is I'm still in love
A heart needs defending - When love goes to war
There's no happy ending - When love goes to war
A heart needs defending - When love goes to war
I don't want your sympathies
Just give me what I ask
If I appear to make demands
It's only 'cause I want you back
All's fair in passion and war
But my disadvantage is I'm still in love
A heart needs defending - When love goes to war
There's no happy ending - When love goes to war
A heart needs defending - When love goes to war
There's no happy ending - When love goes to war
I've been waking in a state of fire
From a dream about you
And nothing's gonna cool me down
Till my dream comes true
Does it shoo the butterflies inside
When you meet me at the door
When I say hello and I kiss your mouth
Does it taste a lot like ... more?
CHORUS:
I want to turn you on when you imagine me in lingerie
I want to make you hunger for the someday I will beg to stay
... Just to turn you on
Are you ready I can taste it all
But it's got to be right
And the candles and the sweet perfume
Are gonna touch you tonight
CHORUS:
I want to turn you on I want to dance to some exotic song
I want to make you wonder if you still know right from wrong
I want to turn you on
(instrumental break)
Tell me this is more than just a masturbation fantasy
You're a hot erotic man
And I'm the master, you're the slave I need
Does that turn you on?
I want to turn you on
Feeling nervous, I'm feeling so strange
Just a prisoner wanting to escape
A walk on the wild side calls you
Let go feel your body let go of your mind
Safety in numbers pulls you in
Let go feel your body let go of your mind
Make it fun make it fast
Live a little trash
Live a little trash
Live a little trash
You can live with your past
Make it fun make it fast
This tug of war is useless
You can live with your past
Live a little trash
Why not haveyour cake and eat it too
A little bit naughty, a little risqué
Dive in, do or die and make a splash
One night living kamikaze
Mirror, mirror tell me beware
Coldly revealing all the faces I wear
From a teasing smile for boys on the street
To a shifty glance for eyes looking too deep
Feel the light as it shines so bright
Will I ever understand you?
Reach inside the truth is alive
Will I ever understand you?
Always fighting to find out why
But it seems the answer fades into a white flag sky
Feel the light as it shines so bright
Step inside, the lights are down, let the show begin
Take your place, a front row seat, with my leading men
You can feel alive tonight
You see, I know just what you're after
Come tonight, we'll make it right
Say you'll always be my lover
You can be my fantasy
Just think of all that we'll discover
See my toys, we'll play the game on my movie show
A line of boys, an all-night part in my porno love
Skin tight pants fit oh so right
I made my mind up when I saw you
Come tonight, we'll make it right
Say you'll always be my lover
You can be my fantasy
Just think of all that we'll discover
Heart beats fast so make it last
I must remember all you whisper
I want you now, forever now
I'll see you on the screen forever
When we make love
Come tonight, we'll make it right
Say you'll always be my lover
You can be my fantasy
Just think of all that we'll discover
Step inside, the lights are down, the show's begun
You can stay, a front row seat, so you'll see the fun
You can be my star tonight
'Cause now I know just what you're after
Come tonight, we'll make it right
Say you'll always be my lover
You can be my fantasy
Just think of all that we'll discover
Heart beats fast so make it last
I must remember all you whisper
I want you now, forever now
I'll see you on the screen forever
When we make love
I'll see
When we make love
You never know [Incomprehensible] what you're after
I'll see you
You told me stay away
You watched me walk away
You told me stay away, away
I can hear the silence, I can hear the silence
You watched me walk away, away
I can hear the silence, I can hear the silence
There's a reason for your sad eyes
There's a reason for your sad life
There's a reason you blame it all on me
Tell me why it's over? I'm lost again
Tell me why I'm laughing through the end?
Tell me why it's over? Tell me true
Tell me why I'm crying over you?
I waited hoping you would phone
I can hear the silence, I can hear the silence
And now I'm waiting all alone
I can hear the silence, I can hear the silence
I'm missing your sad eyes
I'm missing your sad smile
I'm missing the only love I've known
Tell me why it's over? I'm lost again
Tell me why I'm laughing through the end?
Tell me why it's over? Tell me true
Tell me why I'm crying over you?
You told me stay away
I can hear the silence, stay away from silence
You watched me walk away
I can hear the silence, I can hear the silence
I'm missing your sad eyes
I'm missing your sad smile
I'm missing the only love I've known
Tell me why it's over? I'm lost again
Tell me why I'm laughing through the end?
Tell me why it's over? Tell me true
Tell me why I'm crying over you?
Tell me why? Why? Why? Why?
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Tell me, tell me, tell me why?
Tell me, tell me, tell me why?
Tell me, tell me why?
Tell me why? Why? Tell me why?
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Tell me why? Why? Why? Why?
So many years you've been the sun...
Stronger than steel.
[Verse 1]
So many years you've been the sun.
Forever shining on me and everyone.
So many years and I've never dreamed.
One day you might need a light for me.
[Bridge]
Hearts can be broken but I know,
Steel's the bond that I have inside for you.
Hearts can be broken but I know,
Together this love can see us through.
[Chorus]
Cause I will be here beside you.
Bright as the sun to light the path that you're on.
I'm here beside you.
Stronger then steel when you need someone to lean on.
[Verse 2]
So many years I've missed the signs.
So many years I've walked through darkness deep inside.
I never told you you saved me then.
Now this love will make you shine again.
[Bridge]
Hearts can be broken but I know,
Steel's the bond that I have inside for you.
Hearts can be broken but I know,
Together this love can see us through.
[Chorus]
Cause I will be here beside you.
Bright as the sun to light the path that you're on.
I'm here beside you.
Stronger then steel when you need someone to lean on.
I'm here to remind you.
I'm bright as the sun when all your hope is gone.
I will be here beside you.
Stronger then steel when you need someone to lean on.
For you...hey hey hey.
On...when you need someone to lean on.
For you...for you...for you....for you...for you...for you...
You could be my fantasy
My stranger on the bus
So I'll wear my school girl skirt
While you wear your lust
I see you sit down in the back
Trying to look real bored
Another day, another girl
And another dream of more
Now I move next to you
And then I ring the bell
Running out of the exit doors
Like a bat out of hell
{Chorus 1}:
Run when you chase me
Oh, when you make me
Scream when you take me
Run if I want to
I never lose you
Oh no
{Chorus 2}
Run when you chase me
Oh, when you make me
Scream when you take me, oh
Scream when you make me
Scream when you take me
You could be my fantasy
My stranger in the house
I want to taste some danger
When I find you out
I see you trying to break in
Through the back
Crashing through the door
Another day, another girl
And another dream of more
So I come for you
See you run, I stop you with a gun
But you grab it from my hand
And the race is on
{Chorus 1}
{Chorus 2}
And anyone who doesn't understand
Will never see you again
Beneath the silver sun.
It's dark and life's begun.
Thousands strong, Feel as one.
Lights in sensuround.
Move me, throw me down.
Ten feet tall.
Beyond all walls.
You're a dream and my world is spinning.
Round and round out of all control tonight.
And I see all the people moving.
Dancing through the corridors of light.
And I feel so alive.
I feel so alive.
Alice in wonderland.
Reaches out her hand.
Lasers beam, For you and me.
Through the great divide.
Our two worlds collide.
We fall in love again.
You're a dream and my world is spinning.
Round and round out of all control tonight.
And I see all the people moving.
Dancing through the corridors of light.
And I feel so alive.
I feel so alive.
Oh-oh so alive.
You're a dream and my world is spinning. [spinning, spinning]
You're a dream and my world is spinning.
Round and round out of all control tonight.
And I see all the people moving.
Dancing through the corridors of light.
And I feel so alive.
I feel so alive.
I feel so alive.
I feel so alive.
I feel so alive.
Feel the fire, feel my love inside you, it's so right
Here's the sound and the smell of love in my mind
I'm a toy, come and play with me, say the word now
Wrap your legs around mine and ride me tonight
I'm a man
I'm a goddess
I'm a man
Well, I'm a virgin
I'm a man
I'm a blue movie
I'm a man
I'm a bitch
I'm a man
I'm a Geisha
I'm a man
I'm a little girl
And we make love together
Slip and slide in your wet delight, feel the blood flow
Not too fast, don't be slow, my love's in your hands
I'm a man
I'm a boy
I'm a man
Well, I'm your mother
I'm a man
I'm a one night stand
I'm a man
I'm a bi
I'm a man
I'm a slave
I'm a man
I'm a little girl
And we make love together
And we make love forever
Skin to skin, tongue to ooh, come on honey, hold tight
Come inside, it's a passion play just for you
Let's get lost in that magic place all alone now
Drink your fill from my fountain of love, wet your lips
I'm a man
I'm a teaser
I'm a man
Well, I'm a virgin
I'm a man
I'm a one night stand
I'm a man
I'm a drug
I'm a man
Well, I'm your slave
I'm a man
I'm a dream divine
And we make love together
I'm a man
I'm a goddess
I'm a man
Well, I'm a hooker
Yes I'm a man
I'm a blue movie
You know I'm a man
I'm a slut
I'm a man
I'm your babe
I'm a man
I'm a dream divine
And we make love together
And we'll make love forever
Once I knew it all
Once I had control
Once I held the cross
Never let it go
Once I had taste
Once I crossed the line
Once it overflowed I
Lost my mind
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
The taste of you it makes me scream
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
The taste of you I want to scream
Once I knew it all
Once I had control
Once the shackles were locked
I didn't even know
Once I bit the fruit
Once I turned the key
Once is not enough when
You're deep in me
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
The taste of you it makes me scream
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
Walking hand in hand
Touching hips and all I can
Reaching out to you
Watch you dress and leave my room
Oh no, see the reasons changing for you overnight
Watch these pictures running through my head
Laughing, I'm laughing, I'm crying, you're lying to me
It's all up to you, so what will I do?
Stay with me, lay with me, come to me
Make love with me in pictures of you
I'm fighting for control
Grasping something I can't hold
Let me tie you down
Push and pull and turn you round
See the lovers changing for you overnight
Watch these pictures running through my head
Laughing, I'm laughing, I'm crying, you're lying to me
It's all up to you, so what will I do?
Stay with me, lay with me, come to me
Make love with me in pictures of you
You escape too fast
Hold on to me first and last
How your fingers roam
Just don't leave me here alone
Oh no, see the reasons changing for me overnight
I watch these pictures running through my head
Laughing, I'm laughing, I'm crying, you're lying to me
It's all up to you, so what will I do?
Stay with me, lay with me, come to me
Make love with me in pictures of you
You say you love me, in pictures of you
You say you love me, in pictures of you
You say you love me, in pictures of you
You're talking it all sounds fair
You promise your love how much you care
I'm still listening and still unsure
Your actions are lacking, nothing is clear
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
Remember when the words were new
They carried a meaning, a feeling so true
I'm looking for a long romance
Not a picture of passion or one time chance
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
Don't fool your self
Your empty passion won't satisfy me
I know, so don't pretend that you want me
You don't want me, no
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
We make love, it's all the same
Your eyes show nothing no lover's flame
Don't promise we can work it out
You can leave right now if you're feeling doubt
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
No more words
You're telling me you love me you're looking away
No more words and no more promises
No more words and no more promises
No more words
You're telling me you love me, you're looking away
No more words, no more words
And no more promises of love
No more words and no more promises
No more words and no more promises of love
No more words and no more promises
So quickly time will come
And time will go
It runs on by
It steals your hopes and dreams
And one last chance
You never know
I can see it now
I can feel its scolding hand
Saying, "Come on now, you've got to run"
You wonder
Can you stop the hands of time?
Erase your fate
He's laughing
Knowing that he's got control
Just watch and wait
I can see it now
I can hear the whispered voice
Telling me now, "You've got no time to waste"
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
And you've got to see
You have the answers
You have the strength
There's no denying
It's in your hands
It's in your hands
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Living, breathing, touching, feeling
Hoping, dreaming, still deceiving
Searchin', findin', losin', cryin'
Know the truth, you're dyin'
Oh, you're dyin'
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Remember who you are
And what you have
The time is yours
Your flame is burning out
So guard it well
It may go out
I can see it now
I can see the end of time
Holding the answers to all your fears
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
All of my purple life
I've been looking for a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention, babe
If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty u and me, Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't u see, thoughts of pretty u and me
Everytime I comb my hair
Thoughts of u get in my eyes
U're a sinner, I don't care
I just want your creamy thighs
If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty u and me, Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't u see, thoughts of pretty u and me
All of my hang-ups r gone
How I wish u felt the same
We can funk until the dawn ('Til the dawn) (Until the dawn)
How I wish u were my dame (Baby won't u call my name)
If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty u and me, Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't u see, thoughts of pretty u and me Baby, u're so creamy If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty u and me, Erotic City come alive

Erotic City can't u see, thoughts of pretty u and me If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time (U and me)
Some time, some time, some time, Erotic City
If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty u and me, Erotic City come alive We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone (Come alive)
Erotic City can't u see, thoughts of pretty u and me
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone
Addictive drugs they say
Make us feel so hollow
We love in vain
Narcissistic and so shallow
The cops and queers
To swim you have to swallow
Hate today
No love for tomorrow
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
Who wanna to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
The drugs they say
Are made in california
We love your face
We'd really like to sell you
The cops and queers
Make good - looking models
I hate today
Who will I wake up with tomorrow?
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
Who wanna to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
Who wanna to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
They'll blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
I'm on my way I'm making it, huh!
I've got to make it show yeah, hey!
So much larger than life
I'm gonna watch it growing
Hey hey hey heyyyyyyy
The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small, they use small words
But not me, I'm smarter than that,
I worked it out
I'll be stretching my mouth to let those big words come right out
I've had enough, I'm getting out
to the city, the big big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys, so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god, as I kneel in the big church
Big time, I'm on my way I'm making it, big time, oh yes
Big time, I've got to make it show yeah, big time
Big time, so much larger than life
Big time, I'm gonna watch it growing, big time
Ho ohh ohh, oh oh, ho ohh ohh, oh ohhh
My parties have all the big names and I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
and always they're amazed when I show them 'round my house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain rage with a snow white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven, and I will walk through the front door
Big Time, I'm on my way I'm making it, big time, Huh!
Big time, I've got to make it show yeah, big time
Big time, so much larger than life
Big time, I'm gonna watch it growing, big time
Big time, my car is getting bigger Big time, my house is getting bigger
Big time, my eyes are getting bigger
and my mouth
Big time, my belly's getting bigger
Big time, and my bank account
Big time, look at my circumstance
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again
Never let me down
See the stars they're shining bright
here's a brand new dance
But I don't know it's name
That people from bad homes
Do again and again
It's big and it's bland
Full tension and fear
They do it over there
But we don't do it here
Fashion - Turn to the left
Fashion - Turn to the right
We are the goon squad
And we're coming to town
Beep-beep - Beep-beep
Listen to me - Don't listen to me
Talk to me - Don't talk to me
Dance with me - Don't dance with me
No - Beep-beep - Beep-beep
There's a brand new talk
But it's not very clear
That people from good homes
Are talking this year
It's loud and it's tasteless
I've not heard it before
Shout it while you're dancing
On the -er dance floor
Fashion - Turn to the left
Fashion - Turn to the right
We are the goon squad
And we're coming to town
Beep-beep - Beep-beep
Listen to me - Don't listen to me
Talk to me - Don't talk to me
Dance with me - Don't dance with me
No - Beep-beep - Beep-beep
Oop bop - do do do do do do do do
When I've got the best
Everyone is just the rest
No matter how much the date costs
Other guys want my time
Well that's your ride
Step to the right and fuck off
You're not a flashy guy
Your wallet's kind of light
You can't afford what I like
But your heart is divine
Your touch is my kind
That's WASP for you're spreading my thighs
Down dirty and deep for you
Down dirty and deep for you
I've seen the big homes
The gold-plated poems
Still deep inside it was.no
You think you want cash and
That Mel Gibson dashing
But you know it's all in the soul
You're no standard issue
I can't be a bitch you
Hold my hair when I get pissed
I want to know what you know
Go everywhere that you go
Don't care if it's the pits or the Ritz
Down dirty and deep for you
Down dirty and deep for you
Oh you want the same thing too
Down dirty and deep for you
Do you want to know the girl you adore
When I've got the best
Everyone is just the rest
No matter how much the date costs
Other guys want my time
Well that's your ride
Step to the right and fuck off!
Down dirty and deep for you
Down dirty and deep for you
Oh you want the same thing too
Down dirty and deep for you
Once I knew it all
Once I had control
Once I held the cross
Never let it go
Once I had taste
Once I crossed the line
Once it overflowed I
Lost my mind
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
The taste of you it makes me scream
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
The taste of you I want to scream
Once I knew it all
Once I had control
Once the shackles were locked
I didn't even know
Once I bit the fruit
Once I turned the key
Once is not enough when
You're deep in me
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
The taste of you it makes me scream
The smell of you is sex
The thought of you is cream
Waiting, waiting lover
Why'd you cry?
I've been waiting ,
I've been hating you lately
Start watching, watching you go
Are they all the same?
Are they all the same?
And I know
(CHORUS)
I'm lost in the crowd
(oh no woo ooh)
I'm lost then I'm found
(oh yah ooh ooh ooh)
(repeat)
Changing, changing baby
All the time
I can do without all the
Rumours and new lovers
Watching, watching it's a crying shame
Cause they wanna stay,
But they're all the same
Am I lost in the crowd
Crying, crying baby all the time
Cause he'll leave you
And then find another girl to use
Watching watching while loves gone by
And He wont take me back,
He won't take me back,
And I know why
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
The night was young and wet that fateful day
You stepped out of the rain and looked my way
All of my cool disappeared
All I ever wanted was here
Gone is the time and the place
And every other face I've known
My life started the moment you said hello
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
I'm falling apart
When I look in your eyes
There is nothing i can do
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
You're breaking my heart
In a moment I'm lost
Now I succomb to you
Your conversation set me up to fall
We're through the door the streets
And over my walls
Your scent filled me deep, made me weak
I wanted you all over me
Gone is the time and a thousand reasons
You're a fantasy
Hearing my whispers turn into my screams
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
I'm falling apart
When I look in your eyes
There is nothing i can do
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
You're breaking my heart
In a moment I'm lost
Now I succomb to you
All of my senses
In a different world I've known you for a thousand years
Now you're back in my life again
Forever we'll be here
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
I'm falling apart
When I look in your eyes
There is nothing i can do
With touch I am yours
With a kiss
You're breaking my heart
In a moment I'm lost
Now I succomb to you
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
I'm falling apart
When I look in your eyes
There is nothing I can do
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
I'm falling apart
When I look in your eyes
There is nothing i can do
With a touch
I am yours
With a kiss
You're breaking my heart
In a moment I'm lost
Simple, dull, and slow
Know every single curve of him
This guy is at your command
Is that what you think of your man?
Well he
In this painting that I made of him
Looking at the door
He has a beautiful face
With a longing you could taste
To you he's worth hardly a second glance
How could you see your lover this way?
How could someone like me ever say
(chorus)
I'm just a woman kneeling down to a king
A lord of the world
I'm just a woman dying to be his queen
His only girl
But when you look into his eyes
Who makes him cry?
Walk around him nearly every day
Do you see his pain?
You'll never fall in love like me
Why don't you walk away?
How could I see your lover this way
To you he's worth hardly a second glance
(chorus)
How could someone like you ever say
Instrumental
I'm just a woman kneeling down to a king
The lord of the world
I'm just a woman dying to be his queen
The only girl
I'm just a woman kneeling down to a king
But you still have the chance to keep the best of everything
That's what he's done to me
That you never see
Come to your border
Looking back into the night
Falling down on the city lights far away
Tell me the answer
"Who knows the wrong from the right ?"
The years may come and years they go
You've seen the bridges burning
And the wheels of time keep turning
CHORUS:
Like a ship in the night
You passed along the highways of my life
And now my mind you're always in.
And the ten thirty flight
Will soon be heading my way
As she sails across the skyway of Berlin
Thought I heard your bells cry
Bringing the life to your face
The time for tears has passed away
Can't you see the night is lifting
And the sands of time are shifting
Like a ship ...
Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen
Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been.
Your bicycle's chained to the fence outside
There's plenty of offers, but you won't ride
How you pedal in those is a miracle
A miracle
And you laugh at yourself
As you speed through the red lights
Oh, Berlin
Nobody knows where you've been
In the space where your brain and your heart collide
You're convinced there's a practical place that you can hide
And you laugh at the bellhop
Hysterical
Hysterical
With your bag full of dresses and butcher's knives
Oh, Berlin
Nobody know's where you've been
But they all look so ugly and mean when you're sober
You've auctioned away all your crimson and clover
And Ronny leaves lines out and lights up the curtain
You know what you're doing, you know it for certain
The last thing I saw, they were reading your rights
If you're going to go down, then you're going down fighting
As long as you're bent
And as long as they're watching
You're going to make rent
You go no other option
What?
Did you think you were worth my while?
Did you think I would cramp my style?
That if I had to say in it
That I'd sit here and bite my lip and listen
What?
What?
Do you think that I come off bored?
Paid a fortune to be ignored?
Did you think that I come here out
Of the goodness of my own heart?
To work in an assembly line of broken hearts?
Not supposed to fix them, only strip and sell the parts
It's hard to work
On an assembly line of broken hearts
Not supposed to fix them
Only strip them and sell the parts
Your bicycle's chained up to the fence outside
There's plenty of offers, but you won't ride
How you pedal in those is a miracle
A miracle
And you laugh at yourself
Es ist nicht gelogen es ist die Wahrheit:
Der eigentliche Berliner ist zugezogen
Über einen kurzen oder einen weiten Bogen
Irgendwann in diese Stadt gezogen
Hat durchgeatmet und darauf gewartet
Dass von diesem Punkt das individuelle Glück startet
Doch chartet man in den meisten Fällen
In den Hitparaden der potentiellen Stadtneurotiker
Alles durchsetzt von einem Gesetz
Das vor allem die Differenzen schätzt
Und dazwischen klare Grenzen setzt
Seit der Vergangenheit bis jetzt hat sich da nichts verändert
Nur einige wenige die sich zurücklehne
Smart und gelassen warten
Man weiß eben die Sechzehntel in dieser Stadt
Sind auch nur langgezogene Fermaten
Berlin heut' aus meiner Sicht ist das Schärfste
Natürlich nicht
Berlin heut' aus meiner Sicht ist das Schärfste
Natürlich nicht
Berlin heut' aus meiner Sicht ist die Superlative
Natürlich nicht
Die Tage beginnen mit der Müllabfuhr
Und enden mit den Spätnachrichten
Schlaflos nahtlos unaufhörlich
Hört man diese Stadt berichten
Und artikulieren mit einem Galgenhumor
Wenn es gilt ihren guten Ruf zu vernichten
Die alte Dame stinkt
Von den Kapillaren bis hin zu den Venen
Da wo Tiefdruckgebiete durch ihre Eingeweide fegen
Sie duftet allerdings auch nach frischem Blut
Nach junger Liebe
Und nach einem warmen süßen Sommerregen
Berlin heut' aus meiner Sicht ist das Schärfste
Natürlich nicht
Berlin heut' aus meiner Sicht ist das Schärfste
Natürlich nicht
Berlin heut' aus meiner Sicht ist die Superlative
Natürlich nicht
Here they are
the dried out walls
With lonely cracks
and dusty floors
Here I turn
the day to night
Here my veins
are drained for life
FIND ME SOMETHING
FOR A DAY, FOR A WHILE
FOR LIFETIME
SHINE ME A LONESOME RAY
FINALLY SOMETHING
FOR A DAY, FOR WHILE
FOR LIFETIME
HELP ME FIND MY SLEEP
Hand me stones
to break these walls
Hand me grief
And I'll change it all
with a driedout tounge
I stand to shout
Today you'll hear
the words outloud
FIND ME SOMETHING
FOR A DAY, FOR A WHILE
FOR LIFETIME
SHINE ME A LONESOME RAY
FINALLY SOMETHING
FOR A DAY, FOR WHILE
FOR LIFETIME
The girls like berlin like berlin in the snow
The walls come a fallin' just as she knows
To open up wide and show the side she's been meaning to show.
But just like a candle like a candle outside
It goes out sometimes, but still shows the light
The light of a life, the light of a child, it's been meaning to grow
Chorus:
And just as I've known you, you've shown me somehow
Wearing back the braids you were kissed like a child
And just as I've held you, you hold me somehow
The flow is our right, just let it go now
Just as I feel it from deep in this lung, I can breath it all clean
The center of you and the center of me
And the side we don't see
The girls got an arm, she's got an arm like a frame
She'll wrap it around you, and you'll never feel the pain
Lift it up high or scoop it down low, she's got nothing to show, no.
But just like her window like her window outside
The ball hits sometimes and shatters in the night
It shatters the life, oh the life she's been meaning to grow.
Chorus
The girls like berlin like berlin in the snow
The walls come a fallin' just as she knows
To open up wide and show the side she's been meaning to show.
It’s getting dark, too dark to see
The streets run cold with anarchy
Troopers came and all was lost
Mass slaughter, human holocaust
Fire over Berlin
Nobody’s safe
No escape when metal rain starts faling
Berlin, it’s all too late
Thirty nine, machines of war
Cross frontier lines the eagle roars
Allied forces and Berlin falls
Razed to the ground, now the spoils
Fire over Berlin
Nobody’s safe
No escape when metal rain starts faling
Berlin, it’s all too late
Too too much complacency
Too afraid to face reality
East to west the Berlin Wall
Thin red line from nuclear holocaust
Fire over Berlin
Nobody’s safe
No escape when metal rain starts faling
Berlin, it’s all too late
I'll come to you on a summer's down
A velvet blue sky above the green lawn
Wiht drunken steps I walk to your window
All or nothing, your name I call
A silent scream
An over -rated sorrow
I know it's dream
I'll regret tomorrow
Berlin wake up I'm back home
Berlin wake up I'm back home
I've been away from you for so long
Berlin wake up I'm back home
Berlin wake up I'm back home
I've been alone too long can't go on
I wake up with you in my mind every morning
Unbearable the depth that I've fallen
It's been years in your ocean I'm sinking
All for nothing cant believe what I've done now
Not a word
An angel with sealed lips
Not a kiss
I feel you with my fingertips
I don't know why this should be happening
Time passes quick, It's wasting
Replaying my memories of your skin
Of your face, your sweet smell
I miss you Berlin
The taste still lingers on
I hope we meet again
I hope it won't be long
I'm bored with using technology
Let's go back to the way it used to be
No need for all this psychology
I can't pretend no more
Berlin Berlin
Don't want another one night stand
Berlin Berlin
I just want to be your man
Our lips touched beneath the stars
The lights flashed from passing cars
Your face melted in my heart
And it showed me who you are
Berlin Berlin
Don't want another one night stand
Berlin Berlin
I just want to be your man
I feel my heart explode I can't explain the sky is falling down
I can not calm it down it's like a rage inside my skin and bones
I met my lover in east berlin
He came a-knocking, woulden’t let him in
A lousy morning, could have blamed last night
Wish I had a reason, wish I had a fight
It’s not my style to moan about the past
Never ever did I want you gone
Never ever did I want you gone
Did I want you gone
I lost my lover in east berlin
The love I wanted, woulden’t let it in
I searched the city, I was looking for
I waited forever for the knocking on my door
It’s not my style to moan about the past
Never ever did I want you gone
Never ever did I want you gone
Berlin
ich schreib versöhnung an die hausewand
mein nachbar schaut nicht hin
die sehen das nicht so eng hier
in berlin
das haus von gegenüber
ist besetzt und wird geräumt
ich habe schon die ganze nacht
vom landleben geträumt
ein rollschuhläufer tanzt mit sich
er sieht nichts doch er grinst
der regen macht uns beide nass
der asphalt stinkt und glänzt
ich stolper auf die city los
ich schwimm und sink ein
es ist so ein schönes gefühl lebendig zu sein
refrain: in meiner stadt darf ich sein
es zieht mich immer wieder zu ihr hin
in meiner stadt darf ich sein
auch wenn ich manchmal ganz alleine bin
die dämmerung verpackt die stadt
touristen werden high
der kudamm wird zum tanzparkett
in berlin
ich schwofe mit den andern los
in richtung kleines glück
so geht es schon die ganze nacht
wir sind total verrückt
die hektik übt den walzerschritt
der lärm tut keinem weh
ich riech den hauch der grossen welt
sie ist längst pappmachee
der morgen öffnet seine tür
und schmeisst die gäste raus
ich fange mir ne liebe ein
und geh mit ihm nach haus
I stayed up all night
Watching you smile
We were lost in dreams.
She had told me she'd better move out
To escape from the city
Me and my band just came from the south
And we drove such a long way
But when I looked in your eyes
It was worth every mile.
She was cold just like Berlin
She was broken like Berlin
She was torn just like Berlin
She was crazy like Berlin
Like Berlin.
This rusty old coffee bar
Still reminds me of cold, cold winters
We remembered those places
that still gave us a shelter to love
I stood in your doorway tonight
But I was too scared to call you
So I just walked away on my own
withered like the night.
She was cold just like Berlin
She was broken like Berlin
She was torn just like Berlin
She was crazy like Berlin.
Berlin’s on fire tonight, we’ll burn too
These unfamiliar skies don’t cheat on you
A trail of eclectic lights to coerce you
There is no wall here
I’m scared what I’m feeling for you
Feeding a cold desire
You to this city’s arms I bestow
Pushing it way beyond my comfort zone
Nervously, I foretold of your seizure of my Berlin heart
I’m scared what I’m feeling for you
Feeding a cold desire
A tear in my heart I’ve never known
The lesson is naked here
The rift in my heart is overblown
Your pitch is a hands-on deal
I’m scared what I’m feeling for you
Picking dry
And crispy paint flakes
Off a large, white
Brick wall
While I stare
Out of my window.
Stare at my neighbor's balcony.
Old bullet holes.
Behind wild botany.
On the outside
Of the penny marked
Punks are selling
Black and white fanzines.
She buys one,
Walks on by
To another.
Black and white.
The women meet,
Black and white,
The women kiss.
Doodelei.
Shy, polite
You show me yourself.
Forgetting regretting,
But conscientiously humble.
You, you tell about your past.
And with open arms
You listen to mine.
One night in Berlin is all I have left
The sequence is all but complete
One night in Berlin
In Bowie, in blood
In Riesling, I'll take what they give
Television transmission, wait for a while
We're all a little blurry in the midnight hour
One night in Berlin
"Caroline Says"
It all seems so real to me now
Television transmission, wait for a while
We're all a little blurry in the midnight hour
One night in Berlin is all I have left
The sequence is all but complete
One night in Berlin
In Bowie, in blood
In Riesling, I'll take them on!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have some most disturbing news
The show cannot go on, the crew and I did everything we could
We hate to leave you in the cold...
Oh no!
There will be no show!
Ladies and Gentlemen, enjoy the best of Season Two
Ring their management
A "Supersonic Scam" is what we've got!
Nobody leaves us in the cold...
Not on my show!
There will be no television!
There will be no radio!
There will be no magazines!
As long as I have anything to say about it!
There will be no television!
There will be no radio!
There will be no magazines!
As long as I have anything to say about it!
There will be no...
There will be no...
Andrea sits in the diner at three.
Ordering poutine, waiting for me.
Katherine works in the gallery and we walk home under bridges made for you and me.
I’ll be out tonight if you can offer me more than powder for passion and a diet routine.
This city built its majesty in like a century.
We found love in a bar in town. We drank too fast, we talked too loud.
On the very edge of everything we built to last, we settled down.
We kept our promise, we didn’t look back.
We took that plane. You went to work.
I’ll see you in Berlin.
Piling boxes and books up by the stairs.
At the weekend she comes and packs up what’s hers.
I listen to Stars and stumble down Bank for hours.
So lets go out tonight with our best friends at our side.
We found love in a bar in town. We drank too fast, we talked too loud.
On the very edge of everything we built to last, we settled down.
We kept our promise, we didn’t look back.
We took that plane. You went to work.
I’ll see you in Berlin.
You bought a sentiment, bottled it gold.
We drive for hours in silence or alphabet lines. Entirely emptied of courage and cold. When love’s not living it’s impossible to find.
As the beeps slow to static she silently cries.
I read of her loss and then get on with my life.
I hold Amy at night as the patterns divide.
