This is a national anthem from the flip-side of the Empire
Hand on my heart, heart on the sleeve of the constitution
Sinking right into a mirror, leaving reflections on its surface
Caught in a kind of radio-beacon that's sending out signals transmitting
them backwards
HEY, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U.
Worlds gonna change with a move in your face, do I still walk on the same
structure?
HEY, what do we know, re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows?
Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure
Watching your face thru' a peephole as I lean against the door
Can't understand what you say but I think that you're calling my name
Leaving the ones I loved is like leaving the one they want me to be
Making decisions in real-time-precision as millions of sailors in parallel
worlds
HEY, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U.
Worlds gonna change with a move in your face, do I still walk on the same
structure?
HEY, what do we know, re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows?
Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure
Everybody walks this side of the run-way
Everybody hopes to get off the trap
All we really like is to groove with emotion

Time is fleeting
You can't stop time
Hearts are beating
Cause there ain't no time
Dial that number
Stories fly
See their faces, empty places
Uh, elevator
Time goes by
Uh, generator
Love flies by
Good-bye, good-bye
Time is hurting
But it ain't a crime
Someone's bleeding all the time
Too much tension in a second
Just repeat it
Cause I need it
Uh, elevator
Indicator
Accelerator
Uh, generator
Turning on,

It's the start of the season
The dawning is near
The Age of Fish comes
Announcing the news of the year
The tiger returns to the jungle
The wolf comes home to his yard
When you say it feels good to be back
Then it's just one step further on
To the heart
Getting over, getting over
It's the start of the season
Creep out of the arc
Leave your sticky asylum behind
And step out of the dark
There's an open horizon before us
There is a rainbow under my eyes
The detector reads low radiation
And you are fearless to rise
Til you're high
Getting over, getting over
It's the start of the season
Over the land
A mockingbird is singing a song
Near the Tide's Restaurant
As you undress your movie-blue diving suit
Your innocent skin shines so white
We shall be one under the sun
Right here in the power of the light
Come to the summer
Welcome to the sun
Come to the summer
Welcome to the sun

All I want is you, don't you know that
Forever loving you, don't you know that it's true
I'm leaving you tonight but don't listen if they say
That we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
We cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
They put on us, my love
We're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
They never understand the mysteries of love
Here's the mysteries of love
Give your body to the mysteries
Tear down your uniforms
Here's the mysteries of love
All I want to be, don't you know it
All we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea
We kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile
'cross the iron borderline that butterflies despise
We cannot lose at all
Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
Forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
They'll never understand

Waiting
For a change in the weather
I'm waiting for a shift in the air
Could we get it together, ever
Hoping for your return, hoping for your sweet, sweet
Return
Hello
Is this heaven calling
Hello, hello, is somebody there, she must be somewhere
And then she says hello, hello, hello
She's really an angel
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes, she starting to dream,
She's pulling the strings
She's dreaming a strange dream
Where nothing is grey
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love...
Counting
I count every second
And I'm standing
I stand in the rain, I walk up that lane
Which leads to the sunshine
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
She's playing with love...

Winter's cityside
crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind.
I had no illusions that I'd ever find
A glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes.
You did what you did to me
now it's history
I see
Here's my comeback on the road again.
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan.
when you're big in Japan - tonight
big in Tapan - be tight . . .
Big in Japan - the eastern sea's so blue.
Big in Japan - alright
pay ! Then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan.
when you're big in Japan.
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins.
Shall I stay here at the zoo or should I go and change my point of view
For other ugly scenes?
You did what you did to me
now it's history
I see.
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Tapan.
when you're big in Japan - tonight
big in Japan - be tight . . .
- tonight
big in Japan . be tight . . .
when you're big in japan - tonight

You came one night, turned my tide
Blood red moon that you are
Now i sit here, what can i do
Wrapped in feathers and tar
You clutched my back and you bit my neck
Stroke me down to the floor
You burn my brain, lay me in chains
And i want more
I'm on my knees, can't you see
I don't know what to do
Can't you heal me, can't you feel
That my heart belongs to you
It seems so wrong, that i sing this song
Could it be, babe, could it be that you feel the same
But let me tell you, and taht ain't no excuse
Where both in the same situation
Under each others sign like partners in crime
And nobody needs to tell me
That this ain't the end of the world
It's just one of those crazy moments of the late, late 20th century
But you visit my sweetest dreams and you kindle all of my phantasies
And you're right, it's your name that i scream
Don't you feel it, don't you hear me baby...
I'm on my knees, can't you see..
You came one night, turned my tide
Blood red moon that you are, now i sit here, what can i do
Wrapped in feathers and tar
You paint my lips and you sank my ships and i, i love you so, ilove you so
You see me pray, please go away

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while.
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies.
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever.
We dont have the power but we never say never.
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip.
The music's for the sad men.
Can you imagine when this race is won.
Turn our golden faces into the sun.
Praising our leaders were getting in tune.
The musics played by the madmen.
Forever young, I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever? forever and ever.
Forever young, I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever? for ever young.
Some are like water, some are like the heat.
Some are a melody and some are the beat.
Sooner or later they all will be gone.
Why dont they stay young?
Its so hard to get old without a cause.
I dont want to perish like a fading horse.
Youth is like diamonds in the sun.
And diamonds are forever.
So many adventures couldnt happen today.
So many songs we forgot to play.
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue.
We let them come true.
Forever young, I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever? forever and ever.
Forever young, I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever? forever and ever.
Forever young, I want to be forever young.

He's in the mood to touch the fire
He's in the mood to touch everything you are
Jacky's locked in a silent dream
He's watching movies on the tv screen
He feels unsteady, lights a cigarette
He's getting mellow in his cabinet
Oh, jacky, when everything goes wrong
Get ready, for you've got to be, you've got to be so strong
It's so supersensual, sentimental
Forget about your deepest fears
Switch back to the golden years
You've got to touch the fire, wake up little boy
You've got to play the fire
Jacky's spying, is it her or not
His eyes are burning cause the brain's too hot
He sitting calmly on his swivel chair
There's something coming from the upper stairs
Now listen to me, jacky
You were always so lonesome in that quiet lonely house
High on a hill
Now come... come and meet me
You know where
And we take a nice and easy holiday
Back in the old, old days of happiness
Oh jacky....
Switch back to the golden years

This is the time
now gimme that beat
Feel how the rhythm grips your feet.
Kitty-Baby
take my hand
she's like a devil heaven sent.
I'm in her arms and she's in mine
maybe we'll make the film on time.
Sitting in the 15th row
oh baby
I love you so.
We are the jet set society
we are the jet set
And the means liberty
liberty.
We are the jet set society
we are the jet set
We are the jet set-set society.
We're on the run
we know where to go
We've got the tickets for the midnight show.
Nights are buniing out so fast
hop on the beam
you won't be last.
The Russians seem to be that way
we love 'em like we love D. Kaye.
We need no money
we got it free
We are the high-high-high-high-high-society.
We are the jet set society
we are the jet set
. . .
We are the jet set
hop on the beam
we are the jet set
hop on the beam.
We are the jet set
hop on the beam
we are the jet set
hop on the beam.
Shine on society
shine on liberty
shine on luxury
shine on society.
Streets are full of love and fear
this could be the final year.
Enrico's dead but still o. k
we dance the streets
feeling well.
If she's a lady
I'm her man
if she's a man
I'll do what I can.
Let's go to the moon
let's go to the moon
Come and join the institution
let's go to the moon.
Let's go to the moon
let's go to the moon
Set that taste of liberty and let's go to the moon.
Let's go to the jet set - let's go to the moon = society.
We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty.
We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - society.
We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty.
Jet set - let's go to the moon - society.

(..dahinter schimmern die sterne)
may i introduce myself
i'm your poison
i'm gonna kill you tonite
i do it slowly, you gonna like it
you remember me for the rest of your life
but it won't last very long, hang on
it won't last very long, so hang on
to the opium den
i hang out here every nite
i'm just waiting, i'm just waiting for you
you gonna like what i..., you gonna like it
you gonna like what i do
but it won't last very long, hang on
it won't last very long, so hang on
to the opium den...
may i introduce myself
i'm your poison, i'm gonna kill you tonite
i do it slowly, you gonna like it
you remember me for the rest of your life
but it won't last very long, hang on
it won't last very long, so hang on
to the opium den...
it offers you comfort
as everything about it
it is mild, without reason
and for all it is perfect
and it is there, where i go now
and it is there, where i now go
and it is there, where i now go

i wish i'd had the time to look into your eyes
and quietly say the words, the words that you'd expect
i wish i'd touched your face and you would hold my hand
then tears were on our guard and silence was our friend
and we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
the struggle and the strife and the black and white
and all the letters that we wrote
would be printed out in gold
in our memories to behold
without explanations
to be told...
i dreamt i had the time to listen what you'd say
and what you'd say was true and we could start anew
i saw u bachstage in that chair
dressed up in lies but oh so fair
and then i took you by the hand and off we went
and we just drank to quench our thirst
that never dies and always burns
deep in the night out on the streets
i'd like to kiss you too but it wouldn't do
and all the poems that we wrote
would be printed out in gold
in our memories to behold
without explanations
to be told...
and we would leave behind the chaos in our lifes
the struggle and the strife and the black and white
and all the letters that we wrote
would be printed out in gold
in our memory to behold without explanations...
and we just drink to quench our thirst
that never dies and always burns
deep in the night out on the streets
i'd like to kiss you too without explanations..

Now at the station, the train to another land
Lands of never seen light, light hidden in infinite night
Night in it's biggest might, might of the strongest power
And there the smoke of the train to the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train to the heart of the flower
The waiting room of kingdom come, I look back upon my life
Life of loss but now the end
End of rat race overdrive
Overdrive to foreign lands
Lands of contemptous hours
And there the smoke of the train to the heart of the flower
Now on the train
This is the end of my day
I feel my spirits escape like a musical clock that's dying away
I turn once again and wave my hand and say goodbye
I never thought it's so easy
I never thought it's so easy
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train to the heart of the flower
The heart of the flower
The heart of the flower
The heart of the flower

There you go once again getting me into deepest trouble
And shatter my whole life again
Oh sweet illusions, you're so ting-a-ling
Let me dream, let me dream, let me dream on
And forget about everything
I tried so many times, I promised so many things
That I would bring the stars right down to your feet
But this time it's gonna be real, this time it's gonna be great
I know this time we'll make it, we'll take it to the top
And I won't hide away again from myself
And stop pretending that I'm somebody else
Cause it's so hard to take when they've all gone away
My sweet dreams, my sweet dreams
Oh darling, listen to me, I'm telling you for true
Yes, I know that I've done wrong - to cheat on you
But please don't let me down in love - ain't hurt you anymore
I'm sure I'll burn in hell one day but marry me before
I've travelled to far flung places, I've seen so many things
But I have never kissed someone so devine
This time it's gonna be real, this time it's gonna be great
I will do - I will do - I will do - oh - everything for you

The circus is full of smoke
After all this years
Some were good, some were bad
Didn't know what I was about to start when I started
Though I wrote it all down
God, I was so naive!
When you're on the show, you've got to shoot not to sing
Wasn't it worth anyway
12 years, 6 were good, 6 were bad
20.000 songs in my head and a toast to all the pimps in the world
Here's to you
Hey, hey, here's to you, till the last bullet's fired
Welcome, sweet needles of success
Here's to you, you got to shoot, not to sing
Welcome, customers, whores, I still got my gun
I still got my gun
Look, I point at you
There's a shadow on the target, I guess you call it future
And the fingertip-orchestras sounded like spirit rapping on the radio
The day I sold my music for less than a soul
To a full-playback-pop-music-teenage-hero
Here's to you, sweet needles of success
Welcome, customers, whores, I still got my gun
Here's to you, you got to shoot not to sing
I still got some shots inside
Welcome, sweet needles of succes
Take me home, take me home
Oh, sweet needles of success
Here I go
Into the dry-ice fog

As I walk these empty streets
With the remains of warfare scattered on the ground
And I tried to remember your face
An empty page in my diary
And I tried to remember all the ways
Which now belong to the past
Many ways, many days have gone by
And your face became an empty page in my diary
And my life lies there
Split up into a million pages
Always a moment in front of me
Racing with the speed of light
And i tried to remember all the ways

Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet, then I knew, he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and tv's
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store, everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl of my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an icecream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
I don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it raind, so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes, we've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot, we've got five years, that's all we've got

Listen to the news, changes are coming soon
Atlantic engineers and cities in the moon
You better look across the ocean, tell me what you see
The southern cross explodes into the colours of the sea
Mighty maomoondog skips across the waves
Kick the door and hit the shore and be somebody else
Supersonic landscapes are melting in your hair
Bubblegum comediens planting skylarks in the air
Here we go with the new sensation
We're on every station
Such a kind of a legend to turn you on
Dig that rhythm, genie and listen to the voice of the dolphins
Listen to your radio
All across the planet, politicians tremble
Continental sister's rocking with the liquid gambler
Now the time is here, now it's coming true
The enigmatic extasy is overwhelming you
Acrobats and comets are streaking by
40.000 sirens are wailing at the sky
Innersexual circuits are cruising without fear
All inviting you for partytiming here
That's the start of the new sensation..
...dig that band
Listen to me, listen to the voice of the dolphin
You better return to the sea
Listen to his majesty
You better return to the sea
You better return to me..

be on your guard when you sit in the open places
because i'm blessed with all the wonders of the sun
when tigers, palmtrees, rattlesnakes unfold their graces
that kind of magic you may get a sunburn from
and there's no better way for us than our old sweet ways
and angels burn to dust before the human race
we're giants under a rainbow
we're stranded east of eden
sometimes we're crying in the afterglow
in a world of broken toys, how can we live without them
freedom that is what you are always screaming
it is a scream but more a nightmare than a laugh
those without faith are liars even when they're dreaming
i'd put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
but there's no devil in the darkness, no demon in the skies
nothing to be afraid of, cross my heart and hope to die
freedom...

If you want a new connection
I'll be just a step away
Come on move in my direction
Leave your dollshouse at the breaking of the day
Get this message from your heartbeat
There's an ally you can trust
You've been searching for adventure
Follow me, lets take the golden path.
There's a universal daddy for everyone
From universal kingdom number one
He sends his universal angels
Through the air
To universal dreamers
Everywhere
Blowing kisses!!
Any girl from any nation
Any boy could drive my car
I'll supply the next sensation
It'll happen if you wish upon a star
Throwing stones against your windows
Don't pretend you're not at home
You can meet me if you want me
But I'd like to meet you all alone...
There's a universal daddy
For everyone
From universal kingdom
Number one
He sends his universal angels
Through the air
To universal dreamers
Everywhere

At the edge of the moon there's
a lonely man
And he blows on his horn as
strong as he can
And the girl at the bar wipoes the breath
of winter away with a smile of her face
And a little black dog barks along
with a loon
Is this my appointment or did I came
too soon
Got a strange invitation for teatime 'twas
given by somebody
I can't recall
It's the middle of the riddle
It's not very serious
It's nothing but a big surprise
And the president's horse is a rabbit
of course
That is livin' in a big boy's mind
Livin' in a big boy's mind
And I skate on a knife on a wire
That is strung from this song
to a distant shore
And then I say
Intuition is just another phase of chance
While we're walking the old
pyramid's floors
(Little pharaoh's)
And the little black dog
Here it comes again
He's a true companion in a foreign land
On a quest for the valley of boojums and birthdays
And phone calls I cannot recall
It's the middle of the riddle
It's not very serious
It's nothing but a big surprise
And the president's horse is a rabbit
of course
That is livin' in a big boy's mind
We're livin' in a big boy's mind
Livin' in a big boy's mind
All of man shan't talk to the one
at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no
one at all (Rule forty-two)
And a horse is a rabbit of course
(Yes indeed)
Yes, a horse is a rabbit of course

When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns from the ivory city side.
Let the magnet-images wave the signals
flashing oh so fast
Then you'll meet me there under the moonshine.
In a lover's heaven
we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven
we'll forget the past.
Do you want to dance
with me through one of those lonely nights?
It's more than a dream
maybe we're reaching the gardens of delight.
Do you want to dance
with me through one of those lonely nights?
It's more than a dream
maybe we're drowning in empires of delight.
In the stardust dawn underneath the chrystal roofs
Where the solar boys 're playing gamec they never loose.
Where the sailors 're swaying through the lightdomes
Shining from the skies
There you'll meet me
daxling
anyway.
In a lover's heaven
we'll keep our promlses at last
In a lover's heaven
we'll forget the past.
Do you want to dance
with me through one of those lonely nights? . ..
In a lover's heaven
we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven
we'll forget the past.
Do you want to dance

She's like a frostfern in my head
The lamplight burns my eyes and then
she fades away
My pencil's frozen in my hand
And the letter I can't write
It seems to be a desert without end
I woke up late at night
She called me up
Then disappeared
And the echo of her voice filled the
empty places in my dreams
With the silent tide
She fades away
Again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now
Please, stay
My senses are cruising through a void
As pale reflections play on the
deserted roads
I hear the humming of machines
A distant sound like thunder crawling
through the void
There's no escape
I know
I run around in circles without end
And the more the memory grows
Dissolving from reality
With the silent tide
She fades away
Again
She fades away
She fades away again
Don't go now
Please, stay
Don't make me cry
This time I've got to learn
I know, she won't return
String Arrangement.............. Klaus Schulze

There's a boy with a little black dog
There's a boy with a little black dog
And he looks at his watch for a while
And the falling years wash away
his make up
And the falling years wash away
his make up
Just like rain on the fading snow
He's a lonesome streetside Romeo
You can see him from your window tonite
This world's a divided place you know
He's awaiting you
All the boys are locked in a fortress
All the girls are locked in a fortress
Just because it's a crime it could be
It could be
Flesh and blood in iron and steel
Flesh and blood in iron and steel
Just because it's a crime it could be
It could be
We're all lonesome streetside Romeos
You can see us from your window tonite
This world's a divided place you know
We're awaiting you
We're all lonesome streetside Romeos
This world's a divided place you know
We're awaiting you, we're awaiting you
We all change our points of view,
sometimes
You can see us from your window, tonite
We're awaiting you
Awaiting you

Lonely boy gazing on the afternoon
People drifting cross the surface of the twilight day
There's a Little Yellow Man, standing by the railway station
Painting portraits on the brickwalls of Billie Holloway
Lovely Lady S.M.I.L.E.
Dance, my dear, I'm only operating on "Lassie Come Home"
"This was authentic you" she spoke, "this was authentic
you who blew me cold"
He had no chance to realize, it hit her straight between the eyes
So I've been told
In the park, she's giving out some photographs
on which she's giving out some photos of what she hands around
"They videoed a ghost tonight", she said before I turned it out
"It rode an orange paper-bike, and left without a sound."
Keep on riding, Sir
Open up the door and shout it out: "Lassie Come Home,
Come Home!!"
"This was authentic you?" she spoke, "this was authentic
you who blew, who blew me cold"
I had no chance to realize, it hit her straight between the eyes
So I've been told
Lonely Girl dancing in the music-hall
Lightning struck her silver starship and turned it into stone
And now it's falling all the time into that void beyond her grey eyes
Somewhere a telephone is ringing, but nobody's at home
"Hello Junkie-Sweetheart, listen now this is your Captain calling:
Your Captain is dead."
Keep on riding, Sir, open up the door and shout it out --
shout it out...
Lassie come home -- Lassie come home -- Lassie come home

Oh I love to dance
Under an alien sun
Along the dunes with you
I kiss you in the sand
We give so that we live
Beside the sleepy snakes
They dream of you and me
When will they ever end
For a million years they dream
For a million years they dream
And the fog conceals and hides
and eats our souls
Before they open up their eyes again
How far we'll be
Remember me
Won't stop lovin' you
Although it seems to be
Our time is running out
I'm leaving you behind
No matter what they say
We'd never meet again
Our love is bigger than our lives
For a million years they dream
For a million years they dream
And the fog conceals and hides
and eats our souls
Before they open up their eyes again
How far we'll be
How far we'll be
And we know that yesterday
The moon was brown
And that today it is black
And that tomorrow it is red
And we know that when we go to the sun
The moon comes along
(Hello there!)
And the cows in the pasture graze
And we know that we know what we know
Is it truth?

Driving down the streets, listening to the
radio, what do we get
Ariana
Reading the papers and the news,
they scream, haven't you heard
Ariana
She rules the business, she's such a restless
genuine juvenile
Everyone knows, wherever she goes
She got chique, she got class,
she got style
Arianamaniacs rule the world,
haven't you heard
Arianamaniacs set the scenes on fire, fire
We're goin' nutz for Ariana,
We're goin' carrazy for her
Everything glows, wherever she goes
She got sex from her lips to her toes
All the Casanovas and the zombies agree
With the hummingbirds and the beasts
from the seas
Ariana's a real sensation, when will she
be on the screen
Arianamaniacs rule the world,
haven't you heard
Arianamaniacs set the scenes on fire, fire
Guitar Solo...................... Michael Ryan

There are men on the roofs against the grey-white sky
There are men on the roofs and I don't know why
They follow the clouds crossing other people's places
They walk with the wind and they don't leave traces
Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows
Men on the roofs going where no one goes
Ether's line, lag of time
World is gone, northern song
Chimneys write clouds in flight
It's no lie
London sky
Men on the roofs, who they are no one knows
Men on the roofs going where no one goes
Darkest name of the plane
High above war fears dove
Rain forethought, untried chord
Crows go West, home is best
Ether's line, lag of time
World is gone, northern song
Chimneys write clouds in flight
It's no lie

Once
I awoke
A shadow of your smile had crossed
my mind
How could I know this ws your
last Good-Bye
That's slipping through the Windmills
of the night
"You never understand when she's
talking to you, little Boy
You never understand when she's
talking to you
She's too far away..."
Is it Heaven or Hell
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
And the world is a clown who cries
And no one can tell, is he real
Once
I cried
Whenever I awoke without you
A stranger in the thunder of the dark
I'm praying to the sun to shine tonight
"You never understand when she's talking
to you, mon Amour
You never understand when she's
talking to you
She's too far away..."
Is it Heaven or Hell
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
And the world is a clown who cries
And no one can tell, is he real

hello my friend!
it's late and i want to sleep
but i just can't make it to my bed.
i've got a brand-new song on my screen. it's called miracle healing.
i read it on a sign somewhere in port of spain
(29. 4. 2000).
i remember a bright-blue-colonial building. for me it looked like the
entrance to paradise.
a place full of smiling people, a place full of happiness.
i was dreaming to go there instead of doing the interview & receive...
a miracle healing of innocence & ectasy.
dreams of independence. love, caress & energy.
the circle & square, sound & vision, angels are singing
you're gonna burn in hell no more - you're gonna burn in hell no more...
are you sure what to think of me?
do you know how i should be?
is there any damn explanation for this world?
and what kind of healing would i need?
only one thing i know is that i need some help,
i must finish this song to find it all out
a miracle healing...
hello my friend!
it's late and i want to sleep
and i'm sitting here all alone with my ghosts tonite
i don't know what to write to you
i just want to say that i'm thinking of you
and i hope that you're alright
i am, well, ...better, i think it must be because of this letter
and if it's not so then i really don't have a clue
if i slept for a thousand years would you dig inside my pyramid?
would you resurrect me from the dead, would you light up my darkness, would
you give me...

She's staying around or else she's goin away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or may be forever I call her a mercury girl
She's building me up & then she's knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And I am demolished I call her a mercury girl
She never sees me till the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says: her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl
One day once when I've got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers & I missed the mercury girl
She came back to me with her mocking eyes
She told me she loved me but it could have been lies
And life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
Life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
One day once when I've got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers & I missed the mercury girl
And life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl

Welcome
Or should I say good bye?
It's a question how close we are apart
Are you goin' back home
after this show
Or leaving for the wild
And when you're passing the wardrobe
What will you take?
Your worn out hat of hopes
Or someone else's attractive furs to make
it through
The playgrounds of your life?
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
All the pieces came together
Finally but not too late
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that I'm not there
Make your choice
I'll love you anyway
I'll love you anyway
Just make your choice
Pretend that I'm not there
All the world is gone
All the world is gone
Just take it
Just take it
And you'll make it
Alright, yeah
Ride on
Ride on
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
All the pieces came together
Finally but not too late
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that I'm not there
Make your choice
I'll love you anyway
Trumpet........................ Michael Junker

I'm on my way to the other side
I've broken doors and shattered glass
I've derailed from the joyrider train
And listened to the sounds of the insane
I've looked for wisdom every hour
Searched for decay in every flower
Ionized all the sacred schemes
And killed the prophets in my dreams
I've torn james joyce to pieces to make the puzzle fit
I've looked for secret messages in every little bit
I've travelled through the craters of despair
Grabbed the holy signs in every nightmare
Broke on through to the other side
Paid the one way fare, paid the one way fare
I'm on my way to the other side, there's nothing I can do about
I tried to hide behind perfection and starred in mirrors of deception
There's no escape in any way, nowhere to run, nowhere to stay
As long as I can't see the light I got to go to the other side
I've torn james joyce to pieces...
I've torn james joyce to pieces to make the puzzle fit
I've looked for secret messages in every little bit
I've spoken to the dead, ignorants have called me mad
I've travelled through the craters of despair
Grabbed the holy signs of every nightmare
Conjured up digression, suffered from depression
Paid the one way fare, paid the one way fare
I'm a missionary man

Estant assis de nuict secret estude,
Seul reposé sur la selle d'aerain:
Flambe exigue sortant de sollitude,
Fait prospérer qui n'est à croire vain.
La verge en main mise au milieu de branches,
De l'onde il moulle & le limbe & le pied:
Un peur & voix fremissent par les manches:
Splendeur divine. le divin pres s'assied.
Le regne humain d'angelique geniture,
Fera son regne paix union tenir:
Captive guerre demy de sa closture,
Long temps la paix leur fera maintenir.
En la frontiere de caussade & charlus,
Non guieres loing du fond de la vallee,
De ville franche musique à son de luths,
Environnez combouls & grand mittee.
Avant long temps le tout sera rangé,
Nous esperons un siecle bien senestre:
L'estat des masques & des seuls bien changé,
Peu trouveront qu'à son rang vueille estre.
Le prochain fils de l'aisnier parviendra,
Tant eslevé iusqu'au regne des fors:
Son aspre gloire un chacun la craindra,
Mais ses enfans du regne gettez hors.

sometimes it seems the night will last forever
sometimes it seems that darkness always falls
a dark star woke you up and with a dark star, you go to bed
you're sinking slowly into the deep
you wonder if you ever touch the ground
where you would walk through sparkling spheres,
on strangest drugs and without fears
you feel just like a little girl
and all your dreams lie frozen on the moon
you left them ther some time ago
but it ain't true that you don't need them anymore
you are so beautiful, you are so very beautiful
don't give up , kill the pain, don't start crying again
here it comes, here it comes, the golden handshake of life
you are so beautiful, you are so very beautiful
keep the faith, stop to fight
and walk out into the night
you're so strong, yes you are
reach out for your star....
even those who are afraid to live
they're dying some day
sometimes it seems that silence crawls all over
sometimes it's hell inside and hell out there
your heart is nothing but a haunted place
is that you in the mirror?
you're all alone inside a world
full of confusion and of strange alarms
and though your courage left you long ago

this
is our place
in the free and open air
under starry skies
by the endless sea
in an endless chain
we are locked together
i became a star
you were my creator
never have we been closer than tonight

On islands we all run
Onto islands in the sun
And the sun too is an island
With islands all around
We're all islands in the sea
And these islands want to reach
Other islands passing by
An island inthe sky
On islands everywhere
All the islands everthere
Are all waiting on an island
And that island stands alone - alone...

This is a national anthem
From the flip-side of the empire
Hand on my heart
Heart on the sleeve of the constitution
Sinking right into a mirror
Leaving reflections on its surface
Caught in a kind of radio-beacon
That's sending out signals
Transmitting them backwards
Hey, tell me it's true
Is this the other side of u
Worlds gonna change
With a move in your face,
Do I still walk on the same structure?
Hey, what do we know
Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows?
Nothing is real
Even iron or steel
Melting gently in the cold structure
Watching your face thru' a peephole
As I lean against the door
Can't understand what you say
But I think that you're calling my name
Leaving the ones I loved is like
Leaving the one they want me to be
Making decisions
In real-time-precision
As millions of sailors
In parallelworlds
Hey, tell me it's true,
Is this the other side of u
Worlds gonna change
With a move in your face
Do I still walk on the samestructure?
Hey, what do we know,
Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows?
Nothing is real
Even iron or steel
Melting gently in the cold structure
Everybody walks this side of the run-way
Everybody hopes to get off the trap
All we really like is to groove with emotion

...this may be true or might come false
While delving into far beyond
I'm here at hand but in the end
What have ya been
I do not comprehend, just don't understand
Mmmhh... the parallel girlz
They look as if they had been squeezed
From the same tube of toothpaste
The wrong way about right from the start
We're close apart, in each other's heart,
...the parallel girlz
I love you all, the prude, the wild
And the shameless...
The quiet and the sad and the helpless...
The parallel girlz, they're in my head
And in my bed
The ones I met i can't forget
A stupid try on cloud 9
So I beat on against the current
Borne back ceaselessly into the past
Sometimes they talk with wordless kisses
Sometimes they see with gentle touch,
...the parallel girlz
I love you all, the cruel, the weak
And the useless...
The naive and the bold and the loveless...
The parallel girlz, they're in my head
And in my bed
The ones I met I can't forget
A stupid try on cloud nine
On cloud nine with a parallel girl
The wicked and the poor and the worthless...
The cruel and the weak and the useless...
The prude, the wild and the shameless
I love you all...
I love you all, the cruel, the weak
And the useless...
The naive, the bold and the loveless
The parallel girlz, they're in my head
And in my bed
The ones I met I can't forget
A stupid try on cloud nine
The quiet and the sad and the helpless...
The naive, the bold and the loveless...
The cruel and the weak and the useless...
The prude, the wild and the shameless...
The quiet and the sad and the helpless...
The naive, the bold and the loveless...

You should hear the warning if you read the signs
Play with your own life but don't play with mine
You're living your way, I'm living mine
May be tomorrow we will collide
If you knew the action, you see us so blind
Play with your own life but don't play with mine
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Welcome to the future

hey mrs fields, why do you look so sad
is the whole world gone mad or is it still a strawberry-cake
how i wish to kiss your sweet, sweet lips
to share your blissfulness
it made me feel like floating on a cloud
im talking to you soon
theres so much left to say
on a crystal winters day...
and the snowflakes outside show a million ways
show a million days in their dance
and the wind blows them on and carries them away
into anywhere from moment to moment
hey mrs grey, tell me what would you say
if i turned on the sun and poured all the colours down on you
would you smile and say its alright
i can see the light at the end of the tunnel
and then wed face the sky, sitting side by side
going very far to a distant star...
and the snowflakes outside...
i can tell by the sound of your voice
and i can tell by the look of your eyes
there must be something goin wrong in your life
but please, please believe me, baby, im by your side
theres so much left to do, so much left to say in a million ways
theres so much to be seen, so much to be touched, so much to be loved
take my hand and come out to play ..
theres so much left to do
for me and for you...
theres so much to be loved
please, come back
dont walk into the dark
hey mrs fields, why do you look so sad
is the whole world gone mad or is it still a strawberry-cake
how i wish to kiss your sweet, sweet lips
to share your blissfulness
it made me feel like living anew
im talking to you soon
theres so much to be done
when the winters gone...
and the snowflakes outside...
theres so much left to do, so much left to say in a million ways
theres so much to be seen, so much to be touched, so much to be loved

(Gold/Mertens/Lloyd)
I hear those voices on the radio
I switched it off because she told me so
She's an investigator
She's like an elevator
Nobody told me we'd be all alone
You know
Somewhere my friend he'd left me
In that red light zone
You know
She said: I've seen your deepest secrets, son
They're just as lightning
In the look of your eyes
I said: I want you, Baby,
I said: I want some more
I said: I never ever felt it like that moment before
She's an assassin,
She's melting steel in my heart
But I beg for more.
She said: I want your body,
She said: I want your soul
She said: A fallen angel takes it but she'll never let go
She's an invader --
She's from another world
But I beg for more and more
She's raising feelings cutting like a knife
She's pouring fire into my liquid life
There's no escaping from her mysteries,
She gives me kisses of the stangest kind
She says: I know you'll like it,
So come over here
She says: Just let that rhythm filter
Through your body, dear
and then she...
She always did it and she always will
She'll stay that hunter

Kind of thunder from my heart
Flooding my eyes
Kind of armies marching
Through my head
Sombre soldiers
From nowhere
Kind of someone's
Moving out of me
Have no fear
Going somewhere
Ship is leaving right on time
Empty harbour, wave goodbye
Evacuation of the isle
Caveman's paintings drowning
Famous last words on the air
I stay here and you are there
While our city softly sinks

Time is fleeting
You can't stop time
Hearts are beating
Cause there ain't no time
Dial that number
Stories fly
See their faces,
Empty places
Uh, elevator
Time goes by
Uh, generator
Love flies by good-bye, good-bye
Time is hurting
But it ain't a crime
Someone's bleeding
All the time
Too much tension
In a second
Just repeat it
Cause i need it
Uh, elevator
Indicator
Accelerator
Uh, generator
Turning on

havent been very good
for some time but now I listen to the music once again
to bowie and the petshop boys
getting better as the musics getting back to my head
when the moon has turned the blood
at the end of the world
then the saints go marchin in and everybody starts to cry
wake up, wonderboy
i havent been very well
feeling kind of seasick, tryin to follow your contrail
youre flying miles above my head
while Im dreaming underwater sleeping in a whale
when the stars begin to shine
let me be in this number
and then it comes within a wave, like lsd to phantasy
like gasoline into a fire, like virgin blood to a vampire
and everybody starts to smile
cause im the wonderboy again...

I can hardly wait to see her coming down the stairs
A demon's playin in my head a melody I can't forget
She's a beauty in her sorrow, each step a falling chord
That crackles in the giant mirrors at the marble walls
I feel so different today, I'm ready to explode
Into kaleidoscopes of strange delight
Come embrace me, say you'll love me till the very end
Before I vanish in the shifting sands of time
Death, the lover
Death, the lover
Come embrace
Say you'll love me
Till the very end
Come, embrace
Till the very end
Of time
Once I was so sure not knowing leaving traces in the dust
'till you said there's nothing new
Except the things that we forgot
Here I stand awaiting for a signal from oblivion
In the twilight of the old uncertainties
Now she spreads her wings she's comin'
Like a massive wave of love
Rolling black as night into my arms
Now she's comin' in a burning flash of kisses
Rushing from her lips into the center of my mind..

They're singing songs like us
Why don't we communicate
Their lifestyle is floating
Remember, they're like us
They're coming from afar
Remember, they're astral
What is wrong with their orientation
Where is the error? ?
What do we know of their orientation
Tell me why do whales run ashore? ?
We're living like islands
No neighbours to talk or play with
The ocean is endless
There's liquid forever
Our race is so lonely
We're stranded, they landed, tell me..
What is wrong with our orientation
Where is the error? ?
What do we know of our orientation..
We're stranded, they landed..

down in the garage,
drifting in her embrace
he's on an island
of serenity
outside the gateway
they're comin' closer
rain settles gently on their
uniforms
comme vingt mille lieues
sous les mers
comme vingt mille lieues sous les mers
down in the garage
after the race
for only a moment
the earth
stood still
while they are kissing,
exposed by the searchlights
into the cameras
she fires
her gun

To the underworld
To the underworld I'm going down
Step into the ground
Into the breath of/from the gutter of the underworld
What will be I don't know
And I don't care if somebody's asking me
But I never will go
Back to the places where I once used to be
I don't care who you were
Cause we never stay the same
Every moment's a change in the concrete game
I don't care where you've been
Everybody's astray
Like a homeless bird in the stormy bays
Of the underworld
Of the underworld
Welcome, welcome to the underworld
Now I'm on my way cause I'm out of bounds
Direction unknown which is always
What you don't understand
Vague vision in front as the past
Is calling from the lost and found
Never ever turn around, don't wait
And you'll work it out, work it out
I don't care who you were
Cause we never stay the same
Every moment's a change in the concrete game
I don't care where you've been
Everybody's astray
Like a hopeless bird in the stormy bays
Of the underworld
Of the underworld

(Gold/Mertens/Lloyd)
Baby -- what do I do?
Playing my tune for you
Just to get you in the mood
Everybody's going to Hollywood
You're driving me mad
But I'm smiling to the crowd instead
A lot of money is at stake
This is a hit and that's a fake
This is what you mean to me
This is what they all should see
Make a make-up in a foolish style
Telling the truth by making a (big?) lie
When I come, I come but nothing's at ease
Breaking up the whole is a modern disease
Maybe you think tomorrow's just a joke
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke
My love, everything's an interview
And nothing's really new
And everybody's looking for clues
And you know what to do with a clue
My love -- I get ready for the show
They're waiting and they will never go
This night is just to go-o-o-o
And it's only for show
Dig that deal and be a millionaire
Drinking cocktails in the stratosphere
Getting jetlagged with my business-friends
In these supersonic wonderlands
There's a shadow on the graphic display
First he's smiling then he's fading away
Maybe he thinks tomorrow's just a joke
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke

Central park looks like a graveyard
It never rained like that before
I took the ferry to new jersey
Never coming back no more
In my hand I hold a ticket
Statue points up to the clouds
Now I'm leaving new york city
I can hear the seagulls cries
Whenever I saw you, it felt like the first time
Whenever I kissed you, just like the furst time
Whenever I hold you it was never the same
And I thought that the last time
Would never come
Today
Autumn's sun burns down on berlin
A turkish bride just passes by
Someone plans a revolution
Little kites dance in the sky
I will always hear your heartbeat
I will always think of you
Laughter's ringing from the playgrounds
As I watch the children play
Ain't no doubt
Whenever I saw you, it felt like the first time
Whenever I kissed you, just like the furst time
Whenever I hold you it was never the same
And I thought that the last time
Would never come
Today
Here comes the rain
Right now!

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
Little girl -- do you know what you are -- do you know
This baby's gonna be a STAR -- do you know-wow
A Teenangel-Empress form Hollywood highs... with wonderful eyes
You're beautiful -- put your strato-blue suit -- put it on
I know that you're in the mood to fly
Ah, you got the power to make it come true -- the most exciting news
We'll be together till the end of time
And when you S.M.I.L.E., Red Rose, it's just like Blue Sunshine, Blue Sunshine
Oh, we're ascending and we'll never die
'cos when we kiss, Red Rose, we're changing 6 to 9, it's Revolution Time
When 6 turns into 9...
Move over -- closer to my fantasies
Pretty baby, we're standing at the turn of the centuries
The daughter of time is groovin' Tonight -- Tonight -- Tonight
Tonight, little dreamer, you're the D.J. of your soul, little dreamer
C'mon lets swing to that Rock and Roll
The sweetest arrows of desire will set this dance on fire
We'll be together till the end of time
And when you S.M.I.L.E., Red Rose, it's just like Blue Sunshine, Blue Sunshine
Oh, we're ascending and we'll never die
'cos when we kiss, Red Rose, we're changing 6 to 9, it's Revolution Time
When 6 turns into 9...
Above the City of the million Moons
We'll reach the Palace of the Sun
DO WHAT YOU WILL -- shall be your distiny, we will unfold

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
Now she's touched the earth -- you feel her love
Pouring down like an endless rain of colours on your skin
She descends out of the blue, a breathless victor of time
After more than a million lightyears preparing her comeback
And she's rushing in from the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation creating you
The Voyager! is here to stay
The Voyager! she's calling all stars
The Voyager! she's riding a rainbow
The Voyager! gives you the kiss of life
Watch out, you can't ignore what's going on
When your visions are drying out like the oceans of from the underworld
Don't you know! Before you turn to stone
You better head out for a Royal trip to the Ivory city-side
And she's rushing in from the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation creating you
The Voyager! is here to stay
The Voyager! she's calling all stars
The Voyager! she's riding a rainbow

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
Waiting on this empty street, watching the river's waves go by
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette, silver moon floats through the night
Eris, Princess of the Isles, disperse your sparkling traces
Lead him on to the house of love where the Gods my turn his eyes
To Jerusalem we pray -- It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem -- Oh yeah -- Let's make love
You might be the one I'm waiting for, I think we've met somewhere for sure
Chasing shadows leaves you feelin' blue, this situation needs a cure
New assassins, new messiahs, keepers of the balanced law
Strangest lovers of the fire which ignites the Halo of our souls
To Jerusalem we pray -- It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem -- Oh yeah -- Let's make love
Big yellow cadillac, carry me back home
On glory roads of pure delight we head out for the stars

there was a young lady named bright
who«s speed was much faster, much faster than light
she departed one day
in a relative way
and returned on the previous...

I'm moving
I'm not going to rest till I find you
I'm following one step behind you
I'll do what I do to remind you
I'm following one step..
I've been keeping strange hours, I've been saying strange things
I've been places where I should not go
But I catch conversations that feature your name
And my ears and my eyes never close
I've been all of the places where you used to be
And your friends don't remember my face
I don't know if you wonder what's happening to me
I don't vanish that easy, I'll make you believe me
I'm moving...
Did the voice sound familiar on the landing below
Are the footsteps behind you like mine
You're a thought in my head I could never let go
And that thought takes up all of my time
Swallowed up by obsessions that can't be denied
I can't find out what's right and what's wrong
Swallowed up by the whirlpoos of colours at night
Oh, please show me no mercy, my reason deserts me
I'm moving...
There's so many people that you knew
To understand everything you do
You're too far ahead now to need them
They live on the streets, you can't see them
The small and the crushed and the helpless
The weak and the cruel and the useless
They're following one step behind you...

It's nothing serious, just a simple case of bottles, I left behind
It's nothing serious, just a wooden case of bottles, I left behind
It'll go away someday, well alright
It'll go away somehow, come on do your thing
It's nothing dangerous, just a solid block of concrete, I left behind
It's nothing dangerous, just a solid block of action, I left behind
It'll go away someday, well alright
It'll go away somehow, come on do your thing
Peace on earth, God in heaven, peace on earth
Living in heat, memory melting in pools of dirt
The genetic plaything is eating what I left behind
It'll go away someday
Walking in the streets of pnom penh, giving me dangerous feelings and then
Seeing those bottles in motion again, cruising in cocktails

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
FOR INKA
Acrobats & Comets are floating by so fast
Children's faces S.M.I.L.E. like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here
You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia
Mighty Maomoondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for Easter Time on Mars
Paint your hats and shoes with flowers and with stars
singing in Metropolitan Operas
You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
She sits by the window
Stares into the night
Just waiting for a foreign sound from outside
Far beyond the atmospheres, she is listening for a call
To take her homewards to herself
Oh I love you so
He who's Master of the icy shots won't harm you in the morning
She knows that the pavement's hard, there between the stars
To travel on to Martian-Homesick-City
She is weeping silently
But there's not a tear
Just raindrops falling from the painted ceiling
The dance of the foraging bee will number all the things
She has been longing for since she was young
"I will not pass this night in vain!"
She says, "I'll stand this kind of rain, I'll break the glass,
I'll find the path."
Yes, Carol wants to go to Mars, back, where the red-cold sun
Is sinking to the Channels of A'DAAR
Day breaks through the grating
Someone moves a chair
And sunlight blisters dazzling on a glass
Take a pill and greet the day for sedative holidays
Why aren't you sleeping at night?!
...Oh I love you so!
He who's Master of the icy shots won't harm you till the evening
We shall meet tomorrow night, and I kiss you just as tenderly
As CYGNUS kissed the deserts
We shall meet tomorrow night, and I kiss you just as tenderly

Kings and queens and frogs and princes
Gnomes and dwarfs and dragons old
Treasures hidden, golden sphinxes
Lovely maiden, giants bold
Hush, my little lovely darlings
Dream on through the deepest night
Heres a kiss for each of you
Wonder where you going to
When youre sleeping tight
Return to paradise...
Sometimes when its really quiet
I come running to your bed
Listen hard to hear you breathing
Stroke your tender little heads
You are flowers sent from heaven
On a gentle golden breeze
Heres a kiss for each of you
Maoamoondogs singing too
Lullabies of peace
Return to paradise...
On a ship to elfland wonders
Just a little trip away
There youre playing in the starshine
Underneath the milky way
All the angels in their glory
Will be watching over you
Dream on while the stars are falling
(Falling on you)

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
In the beginning
There was no light
No teenage heaven or hell
No songs or voices came from across the outlands
Where oceans are meant to be -- where oceans are meant to be
Oh my God, I feel so alone -- some million lightyears far from home
HOW ABOUT YOU LIVING IN THE 20TH CENTURY
You can halt your car to get your tickets to the starlite skies, you know...
Ev'rybody wants to come home (what a dream)
So, if you don't mind,
Will you join me?
On my way through the eye
up to the light

Down-that's up
Now I see you - control
Explains - forgotten...
We're down
Darkest name of the rain, private plane
Look down - on seers
We're so - knocked out, to live-or don't
Final name of our plane, someone talked
Private plane
Your chance - by time
Cold wine - in doors
For looks - could kill
And I would strain for our claim
Empty space on private plane
Hate - can be
In mind - for days
I like - my way
(planes/can they/in mourn/for days/I lie/my way)
Somehow it seems, it's no dream, fly away

if you meet a long forgotten friend
and he takes you in his arms and smiles
and he tells you long forgotten tales
and he takes you home for a nightride
and he begs you, please, stay here with me
in the end you agree
remember: you're just being recycled
so everything you say
somebody else said it before you
and everything you do
somebody else just did it like you
and the man in the lab just grins and says
holding up a tiny can with a sperm
remember: you're just being recycled
montego bay
the air is oh so thick
there's not a single breeze
the day lies dazed upon the shelf
beyond a painted window out on a far horizon
there stands a steamboat in the sun
i rised my eyes and stared into that paralyzing light
but god had left the iron skies
this day will last forever, we pushed the final buttons
and someone disconnected time

The coffee black and nearly cold
And I look back while hours pass by
A sheet of paper on the table torn to shreds
If you are able to solve the puzzle, try
It's my last script that you may hold
Or wipe away when the bar has closed
My last remains here in your hands and in the end
What I was writing for, I just don't know
Don't know
How many times to make youy understand
Or was it for the triumph of applauding hands
How many words I had to spell and all the stories I would tell
For the short and orgiastic turn when'd you say: well
What were they for, these black inked dreams
A guaranty that I was wise
And so called gods define an entrance for eternal life
Into a masterpeace of mine
All I wanted to be
Was extraordinary, extraordinary
And maybe I was wrong
How many people have I killed
With my suicidal songs

i feel so lonely when i'm not with you
it's such a shame that i'm spending my time
without you
yet i have found you're from a different world
it must be venus cause love's such a prime time
with you, girl
don't you understand
we ride on a space-ship out of control,
how sublime
who's breaking who's heart first
you say you can't do it, mama
yes you can
it's so easy to do
by giving me less of your love than you have (hold) in your heart
my baby,.......
........just one little kiss from your lips
is enough for a lightyear or more in love
you're breaking my heart
each night that i don't get enough
each night, and i can't get enough of you
each night and i can't get enough of you

You say high, I say low
You say stop, I say go
You say don't pay the bills
Cause you won't but I will
Do you believe in romance

Say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear, joe and I got the right to know
Say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
I'm sure, they're telling us lies, joe,
Please, tell us it ain't so
They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charms and determined smile
But the good old days have gone
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
We've pinned our hopes on you, joe and they're ruining our show
Ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned
Ooh babies, don't you think we're gonna get burned
We're gonna get turned
We're gonna get learned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned
Say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear, joe and I got the right to know
Say it ain't so, joe, please, say it ain't so
I'm sure, they're telling us lies, joe,
Please, tell us it ain't so
Say it ain't so, joe..

You know that love's the answer
The greatest ruling force
That carries you forever beyond the farthest cause
Oh, will we ever learn the lessons of the world
Instead repeating history without a care how much we hurt
Sometimes it seems that we will never ever understand
The things we got to do
Dance like no-one is watching
Love like you'll never be hurt
The things we got to do
Sing like no-one is listening
And live like it's your last day on Earth
The things we got to do
If nothing lasts forever that doesn't mean it's cheap
It's only the beginning of something rather deep
We're trying to survive, we're always on the run
The sky's in ever blue but the sun is long, long gone
A stranger at the corner pretending to be me

I forgive, I forgive
I forgive all my friends who left me alone, I forgive the wall that it had so many stones
I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest, I forgive the hangman, I forgive the beast
I forgive the winter that it was so cold, I forgive my father that he was so bold
I forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames, I forgive the acid, I forgive the rains
I forgive james joyce that I couldn't read his books, I forgive that you've never given back what you took
I forgive the puzzle that I didn't fit, I forgive the shit that I couldn't write a hit
I forgive the dog that she never came home, I forgive all the ways that they always lead to rome
I forgive the worm in the very last tree, I forgive the girls who haven't forgiven me
I forgive inspiration when it came to late, I forgive all the ladies when I had to wait
I forgive superman that I didn't stay clean, I forgive, I forgive, anyone, anything
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love
I forgive the angels who could never take me high, I forgive all my dreams that I couldn't really fly
I forgive the thought that I couldn't stop thinking, I forgive all the drinks that I couldn't stop drinking
I forgive the clock that it didn't wake me up, I forgive the driver, I forgive the cab
I forgive all the moments that they wouldn't stay, I forgive all the years that they've flown away
I forgive the promises that they've been broken, I forgive the curses that they have been spoken
I forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past, I forgive the stars when they fell too fast
I forgive the joke that it didn't make me laugh, I forgive desire that I had to starve
I forgive all the love for the sake of love, I forgive all sakes for the fake above
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love
Diamond/gold/1995

Into the night
Still falls the rain
even the dogs stay home tonight
out on the streets
going nowhere
just one direction in my thoughts
love can be magic
it can be a game
sometimes it's tragic
and sometimes a shame
words were my bullits
emotion my gun
I was a runner
now I'm on the run
Sometimes I wish that you were dead
that is because you haunt me so
I wasn't right to let you go away
I try to kill the pain inside
but you are always on my mind
no matter where I go or stay
Sometimes I dream my time away
and we're together again
but I know that can never be
and all my hopes are in vain
you were my treasure
that I didn't know
you were the sun in my life
thought I was dying
when I realized

World without a breeze
Heartbeat of the heat above the harbour
Lazy day lies dazed upon the shelf
Atomic lizards lick at the blaze of a light that is forever
No move in the solid skies
No gleaming metal out of the breathtaking blue
My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play
Whoever breaks the seven seals
And lets the angry angels free
I do not know
Just waiting here
For summer rain
For summer rain
Or anything else
Prophet hold your head up
Into a cluster of bees and listen
"love of my life
Here is all our honey
Yes, we can change the world, together"
And if we're still invited to walk in this party
I'd go for a saucerful of secrets or more
But the last thing I heard of was that God had left the lines
For a brand new universe
He was supposed to say
My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play
Whoever breaks the seven seals and lets the angry angels free
I do not know
Just waiting over there
For summer rain
For summer rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again

With all the grace that you possess you're telling me your lies
A kiss, a touch, a gentle stroke, a look into my eyes
Your promises and fairy tales have allturned into dust
Your star was high, your kingdom grew in vain now fades at last
That is the one thing I know
Stop talking, stop talking witht hat voice
Stop! I can't stand it when I look into your eyes
Stop talking, who do you think you are?
Stop, you're too perfect, but this time you've gone too far
How can you be so sure about those tears you're giving me
Your mysteries and agonies show no effect on me
I can't believe the love we shared would ever grow so old
Your warm embrace was heaven, but tonight it feels so cold
That is the one thing I know
Stop talking, stop talking with that voice
Stop! I can't stand it when I look into your eyes
Stop talking, who do you think you are?
Stop, you're too perfect, but this time you've gone toofar
Stop talking
Stop talking
That is the one thing I know
When I look into your eyes
That is the one thing I know

(Alphaville) She slits her senseless skin
(Alphaville In time to Fred Astaire
(Alphaville) I know you're always there
(Don't look now) She's so debonair, she's a manic depressive
(Don't look now) She's a millionaire, and her bills are excessive
(Alphaville) She feels her senses wane
(Alphaville) In pleasant melody
(Alphaville) I'll take you now with me
(Don't look now) She's a movie star, she's a split personality
(Don't look now) She's got oom-pah-pah, and Papa says it's insanity
Don't look now, your mind's deteriorating
Don't look now, and if it's irritating
I'll know how to set it right again
Don't look now, your world's collapsing, dear
Don't look now, and if it's taxing, dear
I'll know how to put it back again
(Alphaville) She sleeps in useless flesh
(Alphaville) The rancid, blood-soaked breast
(Alphaville) In sunlight and slow death
(Don't look now) She's a movie star, she's a little bit touched

and as for love
that i denied one time too many
she left me at the break of day
when i awoke she seemed still spinning in my head
but she was gone, the capsule empty and her body dead
was all she'd left behind without a last adieu
sometimes i wonder if she4d left a hundred years ago
to start anew we need to be strangers from now on
and as for love we need to be strangers from now on
and i remember when she came into my life
it didn't count who she was or what i was like
i never meant to hurt her but she never did
her name was love, her bodies infinite
and now she is gone, the capsule empty and her body dead
sometimes i wonder if she'd left a hundred years ago
to start anew we need to be strangers from now on

there's a doubt in my heart
and it's sinking deep inside of me
it's the way that you talk
it's in the way you're touching me
when i look into your eyes
you're a million miles away from me
and there's nothing i can do
there's nothing left to say
you'll break my heart, there's nothing left to say
you'll break my heart,there's nothing i can do
you'll break my heart...
rip it off and watch it fall..
will you go - will you stay
is there any chance for me to keep you here
by my side - or is my fate already sealed
is there anybody else
or am i still the only one
if it's so then i don't care
just waiting for the blow to come
you see, there's nothing i can do
you'll break my heart (in any case) there's nothing left to say
(you'll break my heart...)
rip it off and watch it fall...
you'll break my heart, there's nothing left to say
you'll break my heart,there's nothing i can do
you'll break my heart, rip it off, rip it off

Take a look at that child - living in a zone of war
It could be yours or mine but not for very long
For now it's judgement's day, tonite it will be killed
But maybe in your dreams it comes around again
To tell you lovely things about a paradise
Where everything is clean and everybody's nice
And everything is love and everything is light
Where Mom and Papa wait to kiss you good night
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open
Where I used to fly?
Where went my strength and anger
Who takes the blame?
Are we just lost in life - without an aim?
Oh mother Mary, where have we gone?
So far away from you and from the sun
I send you all my love
In a handful of darkness
And all the things you've done
And all the things you've seen
And all the books you've read
Are spinning in your head
And every time you leave and every time you stay
You'll always turn around and think about the day
There's not much we can do
There's not much we could say
It's all about the things we do from day to day
And all the things we've done
And all the things we've seen
And all the books we've read
Stay somewhere in our heads
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
Where is that great wide open
Where I used to fly?
Where went my pride and courage
Who takes the blame?
Are we just lost in hate - without an aim?
Oh mother Mary, where have I gone?
So far away from home and from the sun
I send you all my hopes
In a handful of darkness

He's sitting in the lobby of an african hotel
A gun in his pocket, he's waiting for himself
And this girl at the bar says: hey, what do you think
C'mon, pay me a drink, be my karaoke king
Cause you're bigger than elvis and smarter than bob
And you're singing songs you've never heard before
And this is judgement day so tell me what you have to say
But why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway
Tell me, why don't you sing it when you're singing anyway
Evermore i drove down the glowing bones
Of a shattered highway without an end
And i watched your hair 'gainst the fields of wheat
Like a flickering flame in the screaming winds
If our love was bigger than the 7 seas
Wonder how big our lifes in the end might be
To fit in everything, all the goods, all the sin
But we shouldn't complain as long's we're not givin' in
We're all waiting for the new light...
I am sitting in the lobby of an african hotel
I'm waiting for someone who will never come
And the girl at the bar says: angel, pay me a drink
C'mon, c'mon, be my karaoke king
Cause you're bigger than bernhard and you're smarter than gold
And i bet in your pocket is a 45 colt
And this is judgement day, so why don't you stay
And we're killing some time before it kills us anyway
Don't wanna be too negative, so please don't get me wrong
It's just that life's too short and that your dead for too long
And ain't it strange we care the most about the least important things
I've been waiting here for so long since a million fucking drinks
Cause you're bigger than bernie and you're smarter than gold
And i bet in your pocket is a 45 colt
And this is judgement day, so why don't you stay
And we're killing some time before it kills us anyway

Johnny's on a sailboat called "the 7 seas"
And he's sailing to the islands of mysteries
And there's something in his eyes i can't define
A reflection of a different space and time
And jennifer's a shy girl, sitting by the window pane
Gazing at the writing of the falling rain
But she's not waiting for a breakthrough of the sun
She's just sitting there and watching, having fun
In swallow paradise, so long, bye bye...
Dosing in the shadows at the foot of a tree
And watching a swallow fly by
It's streaking past by chance than getting lost again
While everything is merging with the light
That shines on swallow paradise

the rain against the windshield endlessly
for many years i cruised around the world
i've finally disembarked my ship of fools
a hero then, a stranger to return
i'd trade my goldrush 'gainst your silvernets
to know what happened after all this time
and in your arms i'm lost forevermore
i wonder how you ever felt in mine
isn't it strange, i still can hear your call
isn't it strange, i'm not a ghost at all
isn't it strange or is it just insane
isn't it strange, the glory and the fame
still falls the rain..
do you remember how we used to play
and how we waved our banners in the sun
do you remember how we gave ourselves away
for some strange kind of fun
and how we smiled as if we'd understood the writings on the walls
and cooked our spice on silver spoons
and if we wouldn't see the light
we overdosed the foll'wing night
isn't it strange...
i've got burnholes in my fingers that could not ease your pain
or was it me who killed the blue inside your eyes?
when silence grew behind our shadows on the wall
but if all was silent, could we hear a bit more?
i wonder can you hear me now? - isn't it strange
ohhh...
isn't it strange, i still can hear your call
isn't it strange, i'm not a ghost at all
isn't it strange or is it just insane
isn't it strange, the glory and the fame

what is love ?
I'm getting closer to her
and the closer I get
the more I lose my fear of loneliness
a step outside in the rain,
they just close the cinemas
I'm lightyears away from you as I drive in my car
and your love shines like a neon sign,
it ain't so far
but the distance is unbelievable
what is love: unbelievable
what is freedom ?
I guess that I'm free again
I'm so fucking free to decide
whether I'm wrong or right, to win or lose
I love you, I feel like a little boy
too little to take all your burning love
and toyland is melting away in the heat

To the underworld
To the underworld I'm going down
Step into the ground
Into the breath of/from the gutter of the underworld
What will be I don't know
And I don't care if somebody's asking me
But I never will go
Back to the places where I once used to be
I don't care who you were
Cause we never stay the same
Every moment's a change in the concrete game
I don't care where you've been
Everybody's astray
Like a homeless bird in the stormy bays
Of the underworld
Of the underworld
Welcome, welcome to the underworld
Now I'm on my way cause I'm out of bounds
Direction unknown which is always
What you don't understand
Vague vision in front as the past
Is calling from the lost and found
Never ever turn around, don't wait
And you'll work it out, work it out
I don't care who you were
Cause we never stay the same
Every moment's a change in the concrete game
I don't care where you've been
Everybody's astray
Like a hopeless bird in the stormy bays
Of the underworld
Of the underworld
Welcome, welcome to the underworld

Woke up at the break of day
Something chased my dreams away
Isnt it quite strange the way we live
Youre so pretty, youre so sweet
I like to watch you in your sleep
Id give a million if I knew your name
And all I need is to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
Thats where I want it to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
Love is such a fractured thing
Its splinters slither in our skin
Isnt it quite strange the way we play
Turn off the lights and come to bed
Forget the dreadful things Ive said
Lets wait until the stars come up and we will go our way
Cause all I need is to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
Thats where I want it to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
Woke up at the break of day...

The air is oh so thick
There's not a single breeze
The day lies dazed upon the shelf
Beyond a painted window out on a far horizon
There stands a steamboat in the sun
I rised my eyes and stared into that paralyzing light
But god had left the iron skies
This day will last forever, we pushed the final buttons
And someone disconnected time
We are here in Montego Bay..

All the people walking by seem to need an answer
Something's missing, don't know why
How the hell did we get here?
But when I look around, I understand
And everything comes clear to me
It's plain to see but what's behind that blinding light?
All the truths & all the lies pushing down upon us
A million choices every day
What are we supposed to do, tell me everything will be alright
And I'll be sleeping sound tonight
There're so many phantoms left, doomed for evermore
Here we are just counting sheep, eyes transfixed on monitors
We are dreamers deeply rapt in shifting sands of irreality
It's plain to see, rising and falling with the tides!
All the truths & all the lies

I saw you smile, I saw you true, I saw you through
Today you're in your best disguise
Where are you now musician, lost your speech, where are you now
You dragon tamer, tell me please, where are your heroes now
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you turn, I saw you burn today, your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
Where are you now, magician, lost your wand, where are the dreams
That you have dreamt....when you were a hero
Where are you now, where have you gone, you're much too beautuful
To slip into oblivion
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you turn, I saw you burn today, your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
I know you'e got a sun inside, I know you've got a sun inside...
I know you've got a sun
I know you've got a sun
Inside

there's a new sensation, a fabulous creation
a danceable solution to teenage revolution
do the strand, love, when you feel love
it's the new way, that's why we say
do the strand
do it on the tables, quaglino's place or mabel's
slow and gentle, sentimental
all styles served here, louis seize he prefers
laissez-faire le strand
tired of the tango, fed up with fandango
dance on moonbeams, slide on rainbows
in furs or blue jeans, you know what i mean
do the strand
.....
we're playing our tune by the pale moon
we're incognito down the lido
and we like the strand
had your fill of quadrilles, the madison and cheap
thrills
bored with the beguine, the samba isn't your scene
if you feel blue look through who's who
see la goulue and nijinsky
do the strandsky
weary of the waltz, mashed potato schmaltz
the sphinx and mona lisa, lolita and guernica
rhododendron is a nice flower
evergreen it lasts forever but it can't beat the strand
power
do the strand

All I want is you, don't you know that
Forever loving you, don't you know that it's true
I'm leaving you tonight but don't listen if they say
That we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
We cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
They put on us, my love
We're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
They never understand the mysteries of love
Here's the mysteries of love
Give your body to the mysteries
Tear down your uniforms
Here's the mysteries of love
All I want to be, don't you know it
All we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea
We kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile
'cross the iron borderline that butterflies despise
We cannot lose at all
Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
Forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
They'll never understand
The mysteries of love

There is a landscape in my head
I sometimes travel
But this is strictly after dark
Beyond the barricades and trenches
There stands the factory
Hand me the costum of the sad acrobat
And he says:
Son, this is the bread I break for you
But do not touch it
And he says:
Son, this is the wine I pour for you
But do not drink it
Dein aschenes haar, sulamith
And he says:
Son, this is the bread I break for you
Son, this is the wine I pour for you
But do not drink it, don't drink at all..
There is a stranger on the shore
I sometimes travel
But this is strictly in my dreams
He feeds the seagulls in the winds with ashes
And as he speaks he's got my father's voice
And he says:
Son, here is some bread I broke for you
Son, here is some wine..
Those were the days, my friend
Dein aschenes haar, sulamith
Der tod ist ein meister aus deutschland

Little darling
On the factory floor
Sirens are wailing
They are calling you like lovers
They always want more
Department 27
Deep down below
You are piecing together
The seeds of the world
Ashen roses
Growing darkness
Starving children
Someday you stand up and dance
Glittering sunlight,
Keep on shining
And put them together
The seeds of the world
Binding all the flowers of the world
Start bursting into millions of colours
Unfold all the flags of the nations
Kiss me again, let the battle start
Little darling
What have you done
Hearts are breaking
Live without ending,
Numberless men
Never relaxing
I have to see it all
Fire, desert, cold and arid
And all in a flash
Binding all the flowers of the world
Start bursting into millions of colours
Unfold all the flags of the nations
Kiss me again, let the battle start

The circus is full of smoke
After all this years
Some were good, some were bad
Didn't know what I was about to start when I started
Though I wrote it all down
God, I was so naive!
When you're on the show, you've got to shoot not to sing
Wasn't it worth anyway
12 years, 6 were good, 6 were bad
20.000 songs in my head and a toast to all the pimps in the world
Here's to you
Hey, hey, here's to you, till the last bullet's fired
Welcome, sweet needles of success
Here's to you, you got to shoot, not to sing
Welcome, customers, whores, I still got my gun
I still got my gun
Look, I point at you
There's a shadow on the target, I guess you call it future
And the fingertip-orchestras sounded like spirit rapping on the radio
The day I sold my music for less than a soul
To a full-playback-pop-music-teenage-hero
Here's to you, sweet needles of success
Welcome, customers, whores, I still got my gun
Here's to you, you got to shoot not to sing
I still got some shots inside
Welcome, sweet needles of succes
Take me home, take me home
Oh, sweet needles of success
Here I go
Into the dry-ice fog

Emily comes in the morning
Far beyond your alarmclock's theme
Emily 's drawing a picture that you've never seen
Emily 's drawing a picture that you've never seen
She's painting her visions
Emily comes in the evening
And you love that she is near
Cause her delirious silence makes you see
Your life so clear
Emily 's drawing a picture that you've never seen
She's painting her visions
But sometimes at night when you gaze at her sight
You wonder is she real
She never had a word about the things that she heard
Or the sadness she may feel...
Emily comes in the evening...

Come in close to me and bring me joy
Lift me higher, much higher and higher than light allows
I wanted to be everything, everything for you
Well I wanted you, I needed you, I thought that you did too
You built me beauty and took it all away
And I can't face another day
I'd die for you today x 4
(And took it all away)
Tempt me, sweet tempest - And shower me with stars
I want to be as beautiful as you
Take me to the summit and show me
Show me all that I could ever have
You brought me everything, I ever thought I wanted
And now you take it all away
You have me love and then you killed me blindly
I think I'll die for you today, I can't persue another way
I'd die for you today x 4
(And took it all away)
Like a garden growin' in flames
A forest filled with fear of the wind
Like the moon so beautiful from afar
But shattered on the surface, full of scars
A sea with no more fish, planets without air
Whales with no more song
I know I'm gonna die with them today
I'll die for you today x 5

Baby, if you say you still care, I follow you most anywhere
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
And in the darkest night, I'll keep you safe and alright
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone, why be cold and so alone
Won't you roll away the stone, don't you let it lie
No matter if fools say we can't win, I know I'll fall in love again
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
So sing, we still got a chance, baby for love and sweet romance
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone...
..don't you let it die
Just kick it away..

He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails
The spring is in the air
The sirens in the skies
The wind is in his hair
The morning`s in his eyes
The rain turns on
And he will be
On the phone
The world has left alone...
He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due
The spring is in the air
The sirens in the skies
The wind is in his hair
The morning`s in his eyes
The rain turns on
And he will be
On the phone

Kleines mädchen
In der fabrik
Du hörst die sirenen
Sie rufen dich zur arbeit -
Sie rufen nur dich
Abteilung 33
Tief in der erde
Du setzt sie zusammen -
Die gene der welt
Schwarze rose
Du wirst wachsenen
Hungriges kind
Sie werden dich sehen,
Wie du darbst
Lachende sonne
Warum weinst du?
Du setzt sie zusammen -
Aus den genen der erde
Blumen wie ein meer ohne ende
Blüten wie ein ozean aus farben
Bringen sie alle her - all die fahnen
Küss mich noch mal vor dem nächsten krieg
Kleines mädchen
Was hast du getan?
Herzen zerbrechen
Leben ohne ende - körper ohne zahl
Niemals mehr ausruhen
Ich muß alles sehen
Feuer - wüste - dürre - kälte... für einen moment...

It's a god awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mother is yelling no
And her father has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit at the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dancehall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy
Wough man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
And Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk broades
Rule Britannia is out of bounds to my mother
My dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause I wrote it ten times before
It's about to be writ again as I ask you to focus on

I'm your best friend the dream...
You need a friend without a doubt
I wonder why you came around
Are you awake or do you dream
You're stuck inside a frozen scene

Diamonds are 4 ever, they are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
The wont leave in the night, Ive no fear that they might desert me...
Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it
Touch it stroke it and undress it
I can see every part, nothing hides in the heart
To hurt me
I dont need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when loves gone, they luster on
they luster on...
Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger
Unlike girls the diamonds linger
Girls are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for
I dont need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when loves gone, they luster on
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever, forever

He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails
He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due
He is gazing at the skies
Without yearning in his eyes
And he will follow the invisible trace
When the sirens sing again...
The spring is in the air, the silence in the skies
The wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes
The bats play on but he'll be gone
Before the world has left the night
...the birds sing on but he has gone

This is a walk into the dark
Master of duel, lighting a cigarette
Flash in the rain, sign of a walk into the dark
You'll make it for sure..
Here she comes, closer than ever
Out in the cold neon night, lost in the road, lonely girl
Now she stops somehow alarmed
Closer than ever
Breaking your heart once again
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
Maybe you let her go, maybe you don't
You just can't decide to show up or hide
She'll never know. just let go! oh no!!
What you gonna do, boy
You waited too long, now you have to go on
She'll never know, just let go!!
Rendezvoyeur, what will you do?
May be you let her go, just go!!!
You waited too long but whatever you do

Sometimes I feel wherever I go, I leave no man's land behind
And God is a pet and the devil's a toy, and I'm a danger in your paradise
Here I go
Here I go
Sometimes I feel wherever I go, I leave crimson roses behind
With a toy in my hand and a pet at my side, I spread roses,
Roses in your paradise
Here I go, with a toy in my hand and a pet at my side, here I go
Here I go, I'm a danger in your paradise
And life is a pretty, impolite bastard
I spit at you, I spit at you, I spit at you, bastard
I want to cut out your chameleon tongue
I'm a danger in your paradise
Here I go...
Sometimes I feel wherever I go, I leave crimson roses behind
With a toy in my hand and a pet at my side
I spread roses, roses in your paradise
And life is a pretty, pretty gigolo
I caress you, I caress you, gigolo
And God is a pet and the devil's a toy

(dancing on the roof of your mind)
oh let me live
in a non-stop crazyshow
from dawn to dusk
on the meadows of happiness
and your billion dollar smile rises up the horizon
in a golden glow
just like the sun in some crazyshow
crazy, crazy...
and i'm dancing on the roof of your mind
in a golden glow...
go west, dreamcar, gas-mask, superstar
war crime, sun sail, big time, blue whale
greatest love on tv, telecom, reality
drag queen, millionaires,
truth machine and teddybears,
boop-a-loola, genocides,
coke & coola, northern lights
red bobs, ocean liner, big knobs, sweet regina
black hole, serialkiller,
nat king cole and wishfulfiller
oh let me live in a non-stop crazyshow
oh let me live in a non-stop crazyshow...
and your billion dollar smile rises up the horizon
in a golden glow
just like the sun in some crazyshow
yes i can see you there (on the roof of your mind)
yes i can see you there (on the roof of your mind)
oh let me live
in a non-stop crazyshow
from dawn to dusk
on the meadows of happiness
and your billion dollar smile rises up the horizon
in a golden glow

The cards are layed out on the table
And the ace is pinned at the wall
No debate it's far too late to draw the Joker
As I walk outside of the room, a door shuts silently
And I know it will never be opened again
Someone threw away the key
And now the stage is calling
Welcome back to the lights
And the dogs are howling in vain at these demon eyes
No way out of here...
It's cold out here but I'm not in the open
There is something up in the haze
And it's coming closer without breathing
As I wait here for my case
And the walls are paved with the frozen faces
Of the ones I left behind
In between a trial of jeering whispers:
Are you sure you're always right?
But then the stage is calling
Welcome back to the lights
And the dogs are howling in vain at these demon eyes
............
No way out of here

When you feel so far away though you're close to everything
And the feeling of estrangement's creeping up on spider's legs
Even in these days of wonder, even in the age of faith
There are some who goin' under
There are some who never got it made
So you passed so many years in a labyrinth of traces
Running round and round they led to no one but yourself
Here comes the eternal stranger
He who has fallen from grace to the iron grounds
And I'm tolling my bell just to let you know
I'm here by your side in these days full of wonder
In the ashes of your time when the dragon screams for more
The reptiles make their comeback in your eyes
And heroes fall for heroin and heaven falls for fake
And doris' daisies burn to hell on the grand parade of lies
In the middle of the night when the last of God has died
And the only friend you've got is the heartbeat of the clock
That music plays for all time, the tv light is freezing

I sleep between the gates of night, in a no man's land
Always closer than you think, a kind of your best friend
I have no religion and I have no flag
I don't care if you're wrong or right
Lilac skinned or black
I'm a cosmopolitician
Closer than your next of kin
Angel, devil of the night
And the seed of everything
And if your world has turned to ashes
I will leave you never
Even when the sun's blown out, I will shine forever
I caress you with my charms
I'm your best friend, the dream
I'm the light that guides you through the nights
And deepest haze
I'm a cosmopolitician...
You need a friend without a doubt
I wonder why you came around
Are you awake or do you dream
You're stuck inside a frozen scene
You try to move but there's no moves
You try to speak but there's no use
You try to wake but you can't
You close your eyes without a chance
You need a friend without a doubt

We can change the world...
The difference is in the way...
The difference is in the way we are as people
The difference is the sum of what we are
So look at the things that join us together
And take away the things that pull us apart
Ooh, we can change the world...
The light that draws us through the tunnel of perception
Is brighter than the light
That makes us shield our eyes
Just believe in the idea and it's purity
No need to question it's source,
No need for lies
Ooh, we can change the world...
Love of my life, we can change the world...
We can change...
Changes...
The magnetism
That you feel inside
Draws you closer
To the heart of the matter
And the wisdom
That you see outside
Is only a mattter
Of learning
And forgetting
Ooh, we can change the world...
Love of my life, we can change the world...

I was walking in the rain
When the angel of my intuition whispered hello
And then I turned around there was you
Well, I was quite surprised to face that kind of incarnation
Love is always unexpected, love strikes blind and undirected
An it's amazing how my life became the wildest game of all
I never knew without your love
And since I fell for you I fail to brave the heavy weather
Raging round the axis of my heart
And I don't, I don't need to..
Whenever I see you I want thunder and lightning
Whenever I touch you I feel thunder and lightning
Whenever I hold you I feel better than the time before
That's what I want, thunder and lightning for evermore
There were times when I was down
There were times when all my hopes had faded
My whole life just seemed to be a senseless quest for energy
But love is the answer, love is all we need my friend
Now you came & changed the weather
Now I wanna live forever
Yes I admit I'm playin' with powers that I can't control
But I tell you, I will do the best I can
We're on a crash course plane that's heading down to paradise
And that is the intention of the plan and I don't need no heaven
What do you want? you know it! what do you want then?
I tell you what I want! I tell you what I need!!
I don't need no heaven!!!

some days you run, run, run
you never stop and when you stop
you're too tired to think about anything.
but some day, when you finally stop,
you're able to think and wonder about your
breathless running
and if i could have a christmas wish come true...
i would wish for nothing but (for) wonderful things
and in your life, which is so precious to me,
may troubles, worries never linger;
may they only make you stronger...
and may you rise each day with sunlight
in your heart
and success on your path
and answers to your prayers
and that smile
that i love to see
always there...
in your eyes...
and if i could have a christmas wish come true...
i would wish for nothing but (for) wonderful things
and in your life, which is so precious to me,
may troubles, worries never linger;
may they only make you stronger...
...and able and wise
...and able and wise
...and able and wise
and if i could have a christmas wish come true...
i would wish for nothing but (for) wonderful things
and in your life, which is so precious to me,
may troubles, worries never linger;
may they only make you stronger...
...those wonderful things
...stronger
...those wonderful things
...stronger
...those wonderful things
...stronger

Be my guard just for tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing, I can't make it anymore
I am so full of fear, may you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow won't you stay with me
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT. THAT IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT, THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW
Be my guard beside my bed, that is all I need to know
Will you please hold my hand, don't you ever let it go
All the wonders of the world for a little second more
I can't speak but can't you see, it's your touch I'm crying for
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT. THAT IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT, THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW
Be my guard just until dawn, when I can hear the birds again
I'm as helpless as can be, will you guard my little flame
If we never meet again, you shall always keep in mind
That you were my guard tonight, that you were my guard tonight

I´ve been searchingI´ve been searching for so long
Now I´m chasing the shadows away
I´ve been trying
Yes I tried to find my way
No more crying in the make or break decade
There were times when I was down
There were times I felt so low
My whole life just seemed to be
A senseless quest for energy
But I carry your flame
All through my life
I´m a believer
Peace deep in our hearts
All things must pass
But we´ll be together...again
I´ve been walking
I´ve been walking in the rain
When the angle of my intuition
Whispered hello
Well,I was quite surprised
To face that kind of incarnation
Love comes always unexpected
Love strikes blind and undirected
Love is the answer
Love is all we need,my friend
Now you came and changed the weather
Now I wanna live forever
I carry your flame
All through my life
I´m a believer
Peace deep in our hearts
All things must pass

Life's a garden
Life is king
Life is all and everything
Life is golden
Life is fair
Like a rainbow in your hair
Life's a once fantastic light
Life is shining in the night
Life's a fire from above
Life is you and
Life is love
Life is golden
Life is king
Life is all and everything
Nothing to believe in
It's just there
Without a care
And no religion
than the enigma of love
Life is king
Life's a poison much too strong
Makes you running on and on
Life's a drug and not your friend
Life will kill you in the end
Life is smooth and
Life is friction
Life is such a contradiction
Life is God
and God needs lives
Life's a billion battlecries

Your hand full of hours - Sand from the urns
A travelling companion - The secret of ferns
From Darkness to darkness - where shall I begin
When whiteness attacked us - Sewn under our skin
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls
WITH ALL MY LOVE - I WENT INTO THE WORLD
FROM INSIDE OUT - AND I GAVE IT ALL TO YOU
BUT I NEED YOUR LOVE - THAT WAS LOOKING FOR ME
JUST ON MY LIPS LOOK FOR YOUR KISS
And always I think where we might have gone
If we'd never met inside this song
Our names are enciphered - But the words became true
When I was the sun and you, you were the moon
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls

Once, we were together
Once we were one
Once we were running, we knew where we came from
We were the music, we heard the call
We were giants after the fall
Once we were children, once we were so small
TO THE NEW HORIZONS I CAST MY EYES
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU REACHING OUT TO THE NEW HORIZONS
ONCE AND TODAY
ONCE AND TODAY
Once, we were divided, once, we lost our sight
Once, we were freezing in the TV light
You are a rainbow, you're looking fine
Shall we make it one more time
TO THE NEW HORIZONS I CAST MY EYES
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU REACHING OUT TO THE NEW HORIZONS
ONCE AND TODAY
ONCE AND TODAY

Once I was so sure, once I was so blind
Wonder what you said if you read my mind
Angel in a car, devil on a cross
Scarecrows in the fields, Jesus on the rocks
LETTERS IN THE RAIN. RABBIT ON THE RUN
GOD WAS MADE FOR YOU, LIZARDS FOR THE SUN
MONKEY IN THE MOON, I CAN SEE YOU THROUGH
MONKEY IN THE MOON, THIS ONE'S MADE FOR YOU
( MESSAGE UNDERSTOOD? )
Flower in a word, words without a priest
Wings without a bird, beauty without beast
Signal overkill, trains are overdue
Fool upon a hill, ocean overview
LETTERS IN THE RAIN. . .
Fool upon a hill, trains are overdue
Except what we forgot nothing's really new
Head above the clouds, eyes are opened wide
Windmill burning down, walk into the light
Walk into the light
Monkey in the moon...
Letters in the rain

the gentle taste of orange
a garden of fruit and flowers is what i embrace
in ocean blue eyes, in each one's an island
i'm stranded within your love
and as i fall deeper than ever
and as we kiss, we're each other's guide into the unknown
where men do not return, where men do not forget
the sweetest suicide, as if we don't exist but live
the presence of angels, the inscense of indochine
the quietness of movements, the slowness of africa
a point of know return, no way out of here
nothing compares to you
anything goes
and as i breathe deeper than ever
i'm coming home, i'm coming home to the unknown
where men do not return. . .

So you hugged the globe
Now it's whirling too fast
I really got no hope to hang on to the past
The train has departed, the toxins have started
To announce that none will last
I cower in the gutter of a world that's not so near
And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air
The words unspoken, the promises broken
And the ones who really care
I'm the watcher of the scene
I see our shadows on the screen
And when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee
I stop to breathe for a while
Maybe it was me
This is the world gliding by
Like the driftwood beams
On a lifetime's stream
The instant fundamental sky for Pandora's lullaby
I see distorted faces coined like gold
And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told
A watermark against a spark
Umbrellas that they hold
I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by
An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky

HATE, LUST, SOUL, RAGE
You're so full of hate, You're so full of lust
You're so full of soul, You're so full of rage
SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Here comes the voodoo king, here comes a powerful man
My face on every frontpage, my plans for everyone
I reason your existence, that is what I want to be
Your whore and your messiah if you believe in me
I'm not a true creator, I'm just a cheap reflection
I'm the impersonator of anyone's conception
But if you read my lips just on your own behalf
I'll be a remedy not just an epitaph
You're so full of hate, you need a vacation
So full of lust, you need liberation
You need damnation, you need salvation
You're so full of hate
Spirit of the age
Here comes the new religion of everything you are
My sword is your conviction, my voice your media
I'm here to justify you, that's what I want to do
I don't believe in visions but I believe in you
Here comes the voodoo king, here comes a powerful man
My face on every frontpage, my plans for everyone
I'm here to satisfy you, that's what I want to be
Your whore and your messiah if you believe in me
You're so full of crime, you wipe out a nation
So full of sex, you're a sensation
You need damnation, you need salvation
You'r so full of fear
You're so full of hate, you need a vacation
So full of lust, you need liberation
You need damnation, you need salvation
You're so full of hate

There is too much confusion
Much too much impact of obscene terror
I wonder why I'm still surfing on this wave of obsession
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for some cool messiah
Give me a reason to stay here forever
Waiting for something to come
IS IT MY SOUL
IS IT THAT GLIMPSE OF LIGHT I NEVER FORGET TO EXPECT
OR IS IT YOU, SOME KIND OF ANGEL
THAT KEEPS ME IN WAITING FOREVER
There's too much war on the outside
Much too much impact of symbols and meanings
I wonder why I'm still fighting in this ocean of questions
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for something to come
Give me a reason to stay on this island

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
Hello today -- open your eyes
The snow is falling just like leaves
Aquarian Warriors rebuild the ship
Mr. Rainbow is gone
Hello my love, here's to your heart
Unfold the Lillies in the deep
The season's over, the shores are sealed
Now ashen roses rain on the fields
Innocent dreamers, look what you've done
Now it's time for the Phoenix to fly.
Hello today -- wake to the dawn
To meet the guardians of the Isles
The valient captains will rule the seas
'Til the comets return
Hello my love, here's to your heart
Release that dream into the world
Join in the air-race, leaving tonight
How does it feel to follow the light
Beautiful Dreamer, it's up to you
If we glide through the glamour of love.
We believe in our dreams
reaching out for above
We believe in our dreams

...night...
you can
halt your car
for an afternoon in utopia
we shall stop the wars
on those afternoons in utopia...

There's a tremor in the city
But it looks so quiet
There is something awful brewing
But there ain't no fights
Beethoven, Beethoven
You can read between the lines
That there must be more
You're alarmed, but you don't know
What you're waiting for
Beethoven
The boots are back in town
When ignorance and fear
Are closing mouths and ears
The skins are on their way
When it gets dark in Europe
It's just a state of mind
The blind leading the blind
Beethoven
The boots are back
There's a scrawling on a tombstone
Judenschweine raus!
Once again, the racial fury
Is burning down the house
Beethoven, listen to me, Beethoven
There's a bleeding yellow man
Lying in the street
But there isn't anybody
Doing anything
Beethoven
The boots are back in town...
SF Prayer
And one grey day shall rise the flood
No dikes will stem the heavy tides
When cold pierced heavy bodies scream
They fall as if the monstrous scythe
Of clouds has smashed them from the skies
The scattered squadron of mankind
Stabs right into the churned up ether
Of long forgotten birdless flights
Beethoven
The boots are back in town...
Beethoven
The boots are back in town
The demons of the past
Will be replaced at last
There are smarter ones to stay
How can you stay away
From the order of disgrace
How can you close your eyes?
Beethoven
The boots are back

Caroline says
Are you really sure that you know me
I never met you before, can I trust you
But she's never cautious, no, never, will she ever learn
Wil she always send her dreams and poems to imaginary people
And she's tough, yes, real tough
Standing right in front of the revelation
All of the big city lights may shine on her eternally
And caroline's eyes show feelings not from this world
And if some one asks her, where do you come from
She thinks for a while before she answers
I don't know, I really don't know
And she says, there's no destination on this spiral highway
I don't know, I really don't know
And she says, I can give you names but I can never give you answers
And she says, listen to the music of your soul
Follow where it's telling you to go, follow in the footsteps of your soul
Listen to the music, don't you know, it'll lead you where you what to be
It's playing there for you and me
Caroline says while looking at the polaroid in her hands
Isn't it strange to remember
And when she's out, she never locks the door, she is always like that
She could never ever cope with the real life of the ordinary people
And she says, hey, listen to this, I should be leaving here tomorrow
It's so cold in this city and there's not enough money in the streets
And caroline's eyes show feelings not from this world
And if some one asks her
Where do you go to, she thinks for a while before she answers

We must have played
For more than ten years
We must have thought
That we're immortal
Shame, shame on us,
Ah little hussy,
What did you think I was
I look at us
We have grown older
A lot too much
For me to take
I thought
We were immortal
I'm so sorry
I couldn't keep my promise..
..to carry on your flag for you
Some superhero-being
It seems to me
That we are changing
There ain't no limit
To imagination
The world just turns around
Without a care
Sometimes I feel like crying
And every time
I need to touch you
How can I ever
Break the distance
That's why my love
Became so strong and pure
That's why I keep on
Trying forever..
..to carry on your flag for you
Some superhero-being
F o r y o u
Some superhero-being
Waiting
Under the light of the moon
F o r y o u..

I love to see your moves, it's so devine you dance
I love to see your moves, it's so devine you dance
When you're struttin' your legs ain't no gravity on this planet
When you're struttin' your legs ain't no gravity anymore
And I walk-walk-walk like an astronaut
With your monroe smile on the screen of my eyes
And every giant step I take melts the snow on the roof of the world
And the stars like burning wheels roll by
Burning wheels roll by
I'm the blossom's scent since you stick in my soul like a flower
I'm a blossom's scent since you're comin' on down like a shower
And my heart is a golden bell, I can't keep it from tolling
Yes, my heart is a golden bell and I can't control it anymore

I'm living in a perfect world
Embedded in a perfect game
Can't get enough of all this stuff
But everything is quite the same
And all the cigarettes and pills
All the visions, all the thrills
They seem to come second hand
I wonder if you understand
The mirror is a brilliant place
To lose myself within a maze
They moved the moon when I looked down
And then they turned the stars around
I try to speak but what's the use
Instead I scream, I'm so confused
And when I tried to touch your face
You disappeared without a trace
Just see me through
And please believe me what I'm telling you
(you disappeared without a trace)
Don't bring me down
I'm standing naked here in front of u
Just when I tried to touch your face
Just come on here
What do you think that i can do for you
I might have lied so many times before
But this time I'll be true
These days are fast, they seem like glass
They rushing in and then they pass
They have no value anymore
They seem like clones or metaphors
And honesty is what we hate
It's what we're trying to escape from
I wash my hands a million times
Like Pilate when he did his crimes
When we are young we're wild and free
When we get old we're history
I struggled hard to fit the mold
I hope I die before you're old
It doesn't matter what we gain
When all our does or dies are in vain
And when the music fades away
Our memories just go astray
Just see me through
And please believe me what I'm telling you
(and when the music fades away)
Don't bring me down
I'm standing naked here in front of you
(your memories just go astray)
Just come on here
What do you think that I can do for you
I might have lied so many times before

You're living your way, I live mine
I may be down and you are oh so high
But in a while I'll sip your wine
Then call me bitch until you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Your guardian angels crashed all from the sky
There's nothing left, you can't deny
Life's a bitch and then you die
You think you're free
But there ain't no reason why
You're just a fool chasing shadows all the time
There's no escape, no matter how you try
And after all you can't deny, life's a bitch...
Hey little girl, sweet thirteen
What are you doin' on this nightlife scene
Hey fat old daddy, you ain't doin' right
Eat up your money and get out of sight
Life's a bitch and then you die
Your guardian angels crashed all from the sky
You're all alone, I see you stumble
The spiders get you when the wall will crumble

Song written in muenster 1983
"according to a note on the very first script the text origins from 1978, berlin. must have been a quite interesting time. unfortunately I just can't remember it."
Marian gold, 1998
Frühmorgens halbgeträumte nacht fliegt wie ein echo durch den kopf
Du schaust den spiegel unverwandt an, der mit fingern dich befühlt
Dein photo aneinanderreiht
Millionenfach zu and'rer zeit
Millonennfach, zu and'rer zeit
Das bin dann ich, nicht etwa du
Du schaust mir nur von weitem zu
Du schreist, ich seh's an deinem blick
Ich aber lache nur zurück
Dagegen kalt auf bahnsteig sechs, berlin von hamm über hannover
Kommandos gellen an den zügen, die wagen rucken in die nacht
Passiert die endlos lange front von fenstern déj? vu die augen
Und bild um bild verschmelzen sie zum allerletzten passagier
Das bin dann ich, nicht etwa du
Du schaust mir nur von weitem zu
Du schreist, ich seh's an deinem blick
Ich aber lache nur zurück
Zuletzt woanders, 12. stockwerk, appartement 100, appartement 100
Und jemand schleicht sich durch den raum ...
Drei schnelle schritte zum balkon, die tür knallt hinter dir in's schloss
Und krachen dreissig türen und hallen wider wie wilde tiere
Das sind dann wir, nur ich und du, wir schauen uns I'm fallen zu
Der schrei bist du, ich dein gesicht
Du nur ein schatten, ich das licht ...
Music by alphaville
Lyrics by gold
Early morning half dreamed night
Flying like an echo through the head
You are looking in the mirror, who touches
You with fingers
Your pictures put together
A million times to different times
This is me, and not you
You are looking at a distance
You are screaming I can see
But I only laugh back at you.
It's cold on the railroad platform 6 berlin to hamm over hannover
Orders are screaming on the train, the cars going through the night
Causing the endless front of windows to be a deja vu from the eyes
Picture after picture melding to the very last passenger.
This is me......
Now to the 12th floor. apartment 100, apartment 100
Somebody is going through the room....
3 fast steps to the balcony, the door closes
And now I hear 3 door slamming and it sounds
Like 30 wild animals racing through the halls
Now we are there you and i
The scream is you and I am your face

Into this world we're thrown
A lifeform without a home
Clowns in a circus called the material world
Gods without immortality, nothing to lose
Nothing to gain, nothing to keep
Shepherds of dreams, we are what we are
Lovers, losers, loners, leapers, liars
The meaning of life and I want to touch
Your astral body !!!
We are what we are
Oh, we're so full of light, don't let it die
And I want to touch your astral body !!!
And if I put pennies on your eyes or pyramids
On your grave, mysteries mountain high
The day I have to go
But before I leave, I just want to feel love !!!
I want to touch somebody else than me

Oh, I want to know I want to go
Through that situation again, I'd like to catch
That something in your eyes it thrilled me once again
That gentle touch I can't describe
It's like a reflection of the moon on the water
Don't let it go, because of you the earth stood still
Just do it again
Burn, burn away, sacred letters, ragged backdrops
I don't care, the certainty of death,
The boring rituals of life they seem so far
I don't care for my life, I just live for your love
That is because of what you do,just do it again
Because of you the earth stood still

I'm going out, I don't know why, there's no need at all
A kind of turbulence outside and I can't resist the call
I hear a siren, I might be late, fire flickers on a barricade
A piece of smack melts in my brain as I watch the police deploy
And I wonder
Did not expect to meet you here in the middle of the fights
I should have known, you got it all, you wanna burn tonight
Out in the riots you looked somehow devine
You gotta kill a cop sometime
A random motion that's what you are, these days are so bizarre
And I wonder to see your face in a place like this
Reflecting the flames
You see the market there across the square
It's closing time but all the doors are broken
Why don't we step inside, it's free for everyone, you see
It's paradise, well alright
And I wonder to see your face in a place like this
Reflecting the flames

There's a man waving his hat
At a starting aeroplane
On a faded photograph from long ago
And I wondered who he was
And who was on the plane
And where the flight was going to
And I felt kind of homesick
Although you were with me
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back again?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever - come back - come back again?
When the circle is fullfilled
And the planes are coming back
I will be there to welcome you home
Then it will be my turn
And nothing shall be left
But memories and fading photographs
You see, I'm on my way
Some have to go - some have to stay
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever come back again?
Save a prayer, a prayer for me
When will I ever - come back - come back again?
When will I ever cope with love?
When will I ever learn?
And I feel I have to go

look at me - you can watch me
listen to me - you can hear me
talk to me - you can yell at me
play with me - you infuriate me
look at me - just watch me
try to see... - but you better not touch me
look at me - just watch me
try to see me through - but you better not touch me...
does it make you feel better? to know that i'm here to stay.
does it make you feel better? to know my heart is locked away.
does it make you feel safer? knowing i won't get away.
does it make you feel safer? to have my soul in chains.
watching you - i can look at you
hearing you - i can listen to you
yelling at you - i can't talk to you
feeling you - i wish i could touch you
look at me - just watch me
try to see... - but you better not touch me
look at me - just watch me
try to see me through - but you better not touch me...
does it make you feel better? to know ....
does it make you feel better? to know that i'm here to stay.
does it make you feel....better?
does it make you feel safer? knowing i won't get away.

you gave me strength, you pushed the blades away from me
oh how we dreamt to change the world
and we would never give in, no matter what they say
a really cool connection in a cruel world
you led me through the nights - and through the hardest fights
we dreamt we'd be the ones - and we would never lose
you made me speechless - and fearless - yet it made you fearless too
oh how we dreamt to be so fearless - no matter what they do
i don't know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
you've been around, a distant star, you've seen them come and go
those unknown chaps without a slightest chance
i know, all without faith are liars even when they're dreaming
i'd even put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
our minds are filled with crazy dreams - they seem to be unreachable
but if you give them up they stay - till someone else takes them away
i met you in this hotel hall - oh nino, ain't it hard
not to be understood
but all you said was: hey, i just wanna sing (like an angel)
i don't know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
i don't know where you are now - you come and go whenever you like..
just believe in your powers - you might find out you're invincible...

If you open up the cage, you will hurt yourself
The King said it's forbidden or you may get hell
But the prisoner lets you know where to find the key
Under her satin pillow, yes, there it has to be
Modesty is fine, but it doesn't get you very far
When you make your decision, don't be afraid of the dark
Longing for the golden ball, that it will be yours for keeps
Be sure about it as you sow, so shall you reap
Let's take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Let's take a ride, heigh-ho on Iron John
He has more gold than anyone in this world
Jump on the train to nowhere, from now on you are free
After rising from the ashes, you'll become a mystery
Too many of those strange injections, too many gazes at the sun
The lady smiled "Well, that's my business, running after number 1"
For all their childish daydreams, you caught their falling stars
Just for the cheapest contracts, you signed your autographs
And if you started much too early, therefore you've stopped too late--
--Make sure that no one stops you now
Here comes the ultimate
Let's take a ride on Iron John's shoulders...
He will be with you, he will be there
If you call out the magic words

The crowd is looking drowned and a mother in tears
There are flip-flapping flags in the silence
And a national anthem's a blues in these days
Flag him down, rest in peace
What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back
The boys are coming back
When the boys are coming back in coffins
He's live on TV
He's dead as a hero can be
But... he didn't die for nothing, my dear
The video of his death is travelling the world
Flag him down, rest in peace
What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back
The boys are coming back
When the boys are coming back in coffins
Way back in the crowd
A girl says goodbye to a boy
To a boy who's parading to heaven
And she puts all the blame on the government
Flag him down, rest in peace
What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back
The boys are coming back

Let's dance, stop to fight
We do the paradigm shift tonight
Yeah, it's a natural drift alright
And it's coming up out of the blur
Out of your mind from deep below
The hidden harmonies discover
Chaos-- which means order
Its evolution is a spiritual way
For quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Listen to the tone which is not played
Nothing is what we want
Quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Nothing is what we get
But the holistic movement of all
Yes, that is the way
Do you hear the river flow?
Do you hear it?.. Yes!
Do you hear it flow
You talked yourself into wrong questions
You don't care about the answers
You let the others be the good ones
You're part of the death-bringing system
There is no place where you can hide
Stop chasing the wrong Gods of time (ter)
Chasing the wrong Gods of time (bis)
Running out of time (ter)
Time kills!
You're lowering hopes much too much
You get into the grind much too much
And losing faith in your abilities
The loyalty to your beloved system
Of belief must surrender
To chaos which means order
Evolution's not a model of yours
For quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Listen to the tone which is not played
Nothing is what we want
Quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Nothing is what we get
But the holistic movement of all
Yes, that is the way
Do you hear the river flow?
Do you hear it flow?

Here is the news from my little hideaway
My sweet Ivory Tower
I've sent you songs about so many thing
Mighty moondogs skipping waves
Dolphins playing their lives away
Golden circus girls and pharaohs
Fallen angels, streetside Romeos
Patricia's park and Anyway
Eternal youth and neverending summer days
Lonely girls, music halls, the mysteries of love
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand...
In the event...
I am a stranger in a strange land
Welcome, stranger, to the land of the free
Welcome, Carol, to Phantasy
Oh my God, I feel so alone
A million lightyears far from home
It seems to be a tragedy
How can I live in Germany?
Another house is burning down
It's time to face the cruel reality
This is a game no more
Disasters in the 20th Century
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand

Patti can't take it, she gotta give it back
The world is a big place and she's frightened
And if you kiss her, she gotta kiss you back
She couldn't stand a kiss for free--
--on her own
And while she's playing with all she exchanged
Yawning at the multitude
Her world is a big place
Full of toys and boys and teddy bears
Where nothing is for free
That's what her mother told her once
And Patti has a big, big heart
Bigger than her life
She just forgot the most fantastic thing within
She's sitting in her glasshouse but she does not dare
To throw the stones to make it all come true
Of what she's dreaming of and so it seems to me
Patti can't take it, she gotta give it back
Her world is a big place and she's frightened
But if you love her, maybe she'll accept
Maybe she'll take your love for free
On her own

Pretty baby, don't you know, times they are a changin'
Every little moment we grow up we lose control
Life's a loaded gun with no directions
And it keeps you on the run, it has no mercy
Mum and daddy went to war, never coming back no more
Did you ever think they'd make you whole again
Maybe someone dropped a bomb
Just right into the middle of your soul-they're in control
You got to get out of control again - no more control again
You're getting whole again - ain't no control again
You got to get out of control
20th century honey bee, what you're doing is what you'll be
Life's no dress rehearsal when you bring the honey in
Everything seems wrong to thee
Nurtured from the poison of reality that has no mercy
All your friends went for the thrill, now it's yours to grab the kill
Did you ever think you're getting whole again
Maybe someone send a priest with some religion cooking in a bowl
They're in control
You got to get out of control again...
What's the fucking thing about control, did you think you'd ever getting
whole

People buzzing around, they don't know a thing
They just a laugh and the ones in power are always pulling the strings
People do what they do, how much can they take
They just get the news and the ones in power always get the cake
But you got ambition, you got the face, come on, let's go to a dangerous
place
You got the class, I think you're desperate, let's go to a dangerous place
Come on - let's go, come on - let's go, come on...
I promise this thing will sell, I promise I'll take you to heaven
I promise this thing will sell, and I just can't wait
You have your plans, all these plans
And there are moments, shall I call them a chance
If I was you I would make them all mine
And if I ain't got the power I would commit a crime
But you got ambition...
I promise this thing will sell...
I'm gonna make you a deal, you know I'm your friend
I'm gonna stay with you until the very end
I know you got the guts, I got a lot of time

Some people seem to have it all
Some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused
Some people end up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people pray before they kill
Some people kill just for the thrill
Some people follow one man's vision, some others die on television
Some people build their homes on sand, some people live in garbage cans
Some people think that live is dear, some people hope the end is near
Some people fight for right to life, some people hate to stay alive
Some people dream of life on mars, some people end their life in cars
Some people throw their lives away, some others go on holidays
Some people live and love in vain, some people don't and go insane
Some people always need to win, some other people love to sin
Some people breaking all their vows, some people slashing sacred cows
Some people like to worship stars, some people think the world's a farce
Some people try to make ends meet, some others end up kissing feet
Some people find their holy grail, some other people go to hell
Some people never catch their breath, some people drink themselves to death
Some people seem to have it all, some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused, some people end up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people

You should be killed
You should be wiped out from the face of the world
There's no excuse for the likes of you
And no one will cry for a worm like you
You're a stain on the face of the nation
And like your mother I curse the day of your birth
You're the scum of the earth, the scum of the earth
And I cry - but not for you..
Why do you scream at me
Why are you trying to explain what can't be explained
If it's not your will - your will to kill
And why are you praising those heroes
When you're not a hero at all
You're the scum of the earth, the scum of the earth
And I cry - but not for you...

I saw you smile, I saw you true, I saw you through
Today you're in your best disguise
Where are you now musician, lost your speech, where are you now
You dragon tamer, tell me please, where are your heroes now
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you turn, I saw you burn today, your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
Where are you now, magician, lost your wand, where are the dreams
That you have dreamt....when you were a hero
Where are you now, where have you gone, you're much too beautuful
To slip into oblivion
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you turn, I saw you burn today, your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
I know you'e got a sun inside, I know you've got a sun inside...
I know you've got a sun
I know you've got a sun

This is the time
now gimme that beat
Feel how the rhythm grips your feet.
Kitty-Baby
take my hand
she's like a devil heaven sent.
I'm in her arms and she's in mine
maybe we'll make the film on time.
Sitting in the 15th row
oh baby
I love you so.
We are the jet set society

And the means liberty
liberty.
We are the jet set society

We are the jet set-set society.
We're on the run
we know where to go
We've got the tickets for the midnight show.
Nights are buniing out so fast
hop on the beam
you won't be last.
The Russians seem to be that way
we love 'em like we love D. Kaye.
We need no money
we got it free
We are the high-high-high-high-high-society.
We are the jet set society
we are the jet set

We are the jet set
hop on the beam

We are the jet set

Shine on society
shine on liberty
shine on luxury
shine on society.
Streets are full of love and fear
this could be the final year.
Enrico's dead but still o. k
we dance the streets
feeling well.
If she's a lady
I'm her man
if she's a man
I'll do what I can.
Let's go to the moon
let's go to the moon
Come and join the institution
let's go to the moon.
Let's go to the moon
let's go to the moon
Set that taste of liberty and let's go to the moon.
Let's go to the jet set - let's go to the moon = society.
We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty.
We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - society.
We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty.
Jet set - let's go to the moon - society.
We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty. . . .

Tell me is it really true
There's something goin' on
Outside
I just can feel it
I heard it on the radio
I'm not allowed to go
Outside
I can't believe it
There's a big hole in the sky
Where the radiation's breaking through
And we just sit and stare
Like the rabbit at the snake
There's so much we could do
But we gotta do it now
Cause it's gettin' pretty late
Better hurry now
We all need the sun
We need love and light for everyone
We need our atmosphere
To live in here
We could be so strong
We overthrow the government and stop
What's goin' wrong
We're fighting for the sun
It's really hard to understand
The change of sister sun
As if your sunny smile
Would turn into a deadly one
It's not a quality of life
To live inside a mighty trap
To have that ice-cold coke beyond the radiation gap
There should be more resistance
Against industrial trusts
And if there's no solution, there should be revolution
I wonder if we start in time, we're racing with the seconds
I wonder if we've got enough to talk to stupid politicians
We all need the sun...

Sometimes it feels so strange
The way I feel for you
It makes my life so quiet and free
And when you smile at me
It's just that special love
A kind of liberty I've never felt before
And I don't need to be a poet
I don't need to be a hero
When all I need to do is keep on
Loving you
I just have to be me
And I don't need to be
The stranger anymore I used to be
In my impossible dream
I keep my fingers crossed
I never want to lose
This new found world that's so alive, Angel
I'm so in love with you
My heart has circled in the past
The demons of deceit but now
Aside I've cast
And I don't need to be a poet
I don't need to be hero
When all I need to do is keep on
Loving you
I just have to be me
And I don't need to be
The stranger anymore I used to be

you're playin' around with money and fear
and a power you can't control
and the zimmermen grin their perjured grins
sayin': there's no risk at all !
look into the eyes of the next generation
i know you would never dare
you're layin' the tracks
of the ultimate sin
like himmler and you don't care
it only takes a few words
it only takes a few
to cut a long story short
it only takes a few words...
oh my how it hurts..!
look into the eyes of the next generation...
look into the eyes of the next generation...
yor orders filtered through the ranks
intentions you can't hide
with tightened lips
you're sinking ships
in the shadows of the night
you presidents of genocide
you ministers of crime
you're laughing at your firemen
from miles behind,
from miles behind the lines..!
it only takes a few words
it only takes a few
to cut a long story short
it only takes a few words...

The gentle taste of orange
A garden of fruit and flowers is what I embrace
In ocean blue eyes, in each one's an island
I'm stranded within your love
And as I fall deeper than ever
And as we kiss, we're each other's guide into the unknown
WHERE MEN DO NOT RETURN, WHERE MEN DO NOT FORGET
THE SWEETEST SUICIDE, AS IF WE DON'T EXIST BUT LIVE
The presence of angels, the inscense of Indochine
The quietness of movements, the slowness of Africa
A Point of know return, no way out of here
Nothing compares to you
Anything goes
And as I breathe deeper than ever
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to the unknown

(Albert & the Heart Of Gold)
There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was much faster, much faster than light

If I was a flag I'd have no nation
Just the colours and the wind
And if I was a church I'd have no treasure
Except the prayers and the hyms
And if I was a seagull I'd just rise up
And carry my soul across the sea
Drifting beyond the horizon
Lost by the ground to be free
If I was a life-boat I'd be waiting all my life
For another stormy day
And if I was a dolphin I'd be playing all the time
Just playing my life away
And if I was a kite I'd just be laughing
And dragging you up to the sky
Setting you down on a white cloud
While a seagull's floating by

we call ourselves the crown of creation
i wonder what does it mean
we`re not the owners of the moon and the earth
it`s like a roundabout and it goes round and round for free
we`ve made some gruesome inventions
yet we`re mastered by those systems
we're endangered danger, we're running out of fashion
if we don't care for responsibility, hey-hey
we're endangered danger, we're endangered danger,
we're the headlines today but all that we say is
we're endangered danger,
eric says that we're a lonely species
that's why we're playing the fools
but once we'll enter the aquarian age
i sometimes catch him floating in his swimming-pool, he says
if we'd tune in to our brighter sides
we'd feel like jesus on the waters
cause we're sailors not soldiers so much more for this show
than a guest-appearance in the universe, here we go
we're endangered danger, we're endangered danger,
we're the headlines today but all that we say is

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
...Night!
You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia

on na round-about i'm turning on to you
don't you love the way we're turning, yes you do
little schools of hummingbirds are streaming by
while we're merging with the color of the sky
big yellow sun
you're the one
here's our souls
heal them, heal them
beutiful girl
you're the world
i'm in you, bretahing
love me do
at the entrance of the airport as you see
there's an icecream-man who's selling sweets for free
you might watch descending rockets from the moon
while we're taking off with 99 ballons
bless our souls...
big yellow sun
you're the one
here's our souls
heal them, heal them
beutiful girl
you're the world
i'm in you, bretahing

Though this place is so crowded
You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For nuggets of fleeting bliss
C'mon, c'mon you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine
It's a new situation
The start of a game, you've already won the prize
He's a lunatic dancer
Who's not aware that he's skating on thin ice
There's no turning back
No time for regrets, you should've known better, though
Another chance to fall in love
Another chance to turn you on
Another chance to turn you on
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on

Your will against my vision
Your world against my worlds
Your war ain't my decision
Your port against my pearls
Your sense against my madness
Your void against my screams
Your bitch against my gladness
Your fakes against my dreams
This is a song for no one but myself
This is a song for no one but myself
This is a song for no one but myself:
Your lies are your perceptions
Your reins against my rights
Your fear is your religion
Your race against my pride
Your end is my beginning
Your dance has all gone wrong
Your blaze against my music
Your blare against this song
This is a song for no one but myself...
Your wish against my vision
Your world against my worlds
Your war ain't my decision
Your port against my pearls

something in the way she moves
attracts me like no other lover
something in the way she woos me
i don't want to leave her now
you know i believe and how
somewhere in her smile she knows
that i don't need no other lover
something in her style that shows me
i don't want to leave her now
you know i believe and how
you're asking me will my love grow
i don't know, i don't know
you stick around now it may show
i don't know, i don't know
something in the way she knows
and all i have to do is think of her
something in the things she shows me
i don't want to leave her now

When the sirens sing again...
He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails
When the sirens sing again...
He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due
When the sirens sing again...

Did you know when the journey started
That wed ever reach that point
Many years we sailed together
Now its time to say goodbye
You dont know what Ive been going through
Havent heard that much from you
Isolation is a nice flower
Now I wonder what to do
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you
On our ship of fools were drifting along the shores never seen before
When you told me that youre leaving
Cause the stakes were much too high
I was wondring why you said so
Since we still got wings to fly
I will never ever give up
Just as long as I am here
Till the end Ill spread my wings
And raise my dreams against your fears
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you

We had shared our company
Talked about reality in terms we understand
We built the entire universe
Around the minds of boys and girls
And touched it with our hands
Until the structures we created
Fell apart desintigrated
And this is where we stand
Hey Charles, we didn't do it right
Hey Karl, we couldn't pull it off
Hey Charles, there's something wrong with us
Hey Chuck, we had to give it up
We were blind and showed the way
Walked our heads so young and gay
Into the promised land
We taught our children everything
Gave them brand new songs to sing
So they would understand
We are sleepers awake in the sea of time
Rising and falling with the tides
And this is where we stand
Hey Charles, we didn't do it right
Hey Karl, we couldn't pull it off
Hey Charles, there's something wrong with us

when you feel so far away
though you're close to everything
and the feeling of estrangement磗
creeping up on spider's legs
even in these days of wonder
even in the age of faith
there are some who goin' under
there are some who got it made
in the middle of the night
when the last of god has died
and the only thing you've got
is the tictoc of the clock
i'm here by your side
in these days full of wonder
so you passed so many years
in a labyrinth of traces
running round and round they led

you carved the runes into my bones and signed them up for me
i still don't know what's on your list and what's prepared for me
you killed the fairies in my dreams, you poured their blood on me
if i only knew your plans, i'd drink it happily
i hate to be in love with you but put the blame on me
you're innocent just like a gun, you love me dangerously
your body seems to be unreal, your touch is like the sea
and when i gaze upon your smile the devil grins at me
but if i lost your gleaming look i'd lose the light in me
as long as i can feel the pain i burn fantastically
i hate to be in love with you but put the blame on me
you're innocent just like a gun, you love me dangerously
you brought the stars right down to me, you smashed them on the ground
you ripped the moon out of its place and turned it upside down
maybe you thought i'd take it cool but i feel like i'm cursed
armed with the rapture of a fool i ruin my universe
i hate to be in love with you but put the blame on me
you're innocent just like a gun, you love me dangerously
..you carved the runes into my bones and signed them up for me
i still don't know what's on your list and what's prepared for me...
...for me
...for me
...for me

Smiling faces when you're no.1, it's on, can you relate
The people that you meet are the people that you love to hate
Walk this way, talk this way, suckers on my tip-no
I don't need no bodyguards, I don't need no ridiculous jewelry
Vibing the industry, it's people- acting funny with my money, it's
Everything will be taken care of, honey- the fuzzing and the buzzing-
The dealing and the wheeling, shady bitches in big, black limousines
Digging my stuff with a gangsterly..huhu, cashflow's extreme
Yes, I'm getting paid, hey, here's what the people say, this fool's glocking crazy geeze
The bitch is selling out- he's given up integrity-..huh
To me it's a job, the case is sublime, you get yours, I get mine-
Call me a prostitute
Digging the inner so you don't get under, no, my name ain't alexander the great
But came and I saw and I conquered and now I'm in the house
And now the house is haunted cause I can talk this shit
I'm in the game, even when they're kicking it, a hustler
Hitting the big time with mental stamina, with karma spread from the south of france
. to l.a.- to indochina, and I don't quit, I'm coming on
With another hit and playing it rough- with an attitude way out there, yeah
No playing it safe in here, -fool, you don't wanna be rude, - go ahead
---you don't wanna be rude, -go ahead
Call me a prostitute
I was born, growing up, I finished my cup, said good luck, dad-
With a back up from the giddy up--
Began as a problem youth, running wild with the deuce, the juice
I tolled a while but not in vain, whiskey, women, joy and pain
I had to get away and start my own odyssey
. and now I'm back,--what's up,--check me,--take a loupe,--for the close up
See me through, I'm a soulman, I'm a soulman, and I go shoob...
Ain't no sellout, I'm the shit, there ain't no substitute
You get yours and I get mine, call me a prostitute..
I'm a soulman, and I go shoob, I'm a soulman..

If the audience was listening
When the curtains rise again
If I knew what's going on, just a part of your plan
If I had a bit of mind kick,
If the spirit unfurled
But I've only got a vision
A strange kind of world
In eternal isolation, for the sake of inspiration
And the stuff that dreams are made of
The jester takes the violin
And lets the poison flow
Insects whirr into the sky
& atlas dropped the earth u know
U wrote a 2. comedy
With all the nightmares u could feature
But I'm lying in my own world
Learning from my own world's creatures
If the audience was listening
Just for one more time
I could be more than a clown
Living more than a lie
But while I reel in the spotlights
The show must go on
My souffleuse is dead and i
Can't remember the song
In eternal isolation, for the sake of inspiration

sometimes it seems so strange
the way i feel for you
it makes my life so quiet and free
and when you smile at me
it's just that special love
a kind of liberty i never felt before
and i don't need to be a poet
i don't need to be a hero
when all i need to do is keep on loving you
i just have to be me and i don't need to be
the stranger anymore i used to be
in my impossible dream
i keep my fingers crossed
i never want to lose
this new found love that's so alive
i'm so in love with you
my heart has circled in the past
the demons of deceit but now aside i've cast
and i don't need to be a poet
i don't need to be a hero
when all i need to do is keep on loving you
i just have to be me and i don't need to be
the stranger anymore i used to be
in my impossible dream

i used to live in the greyness of life
like a parrot in a flock of crows
better put on my gold-feathered cloak
and walk out into the cold
and since i was a kid i shone so much from inside out
like san sebastian on prime time tv
and i sigh when i look at all the good things around
all those untold treasures
and unmeasured pleasures
id like to be like no other honeybee
sucking on the sweet, sweet flower
and when the sun goes down I got the power to fly...
and that is the only feeling,
the one and only chance to get away
from anything that hurts
thats what my manager used to say...
when you came into my sight
i (had to) put on my shades
cause I was blinded so much
by the light that you spread
and im sure it will grow forever
and scare all the zombies away
and since I know we belong to each other
you can try me out cause it gets me on the go
could we ever hope that we would star tonite
in this crazy show
i know youll be like no other honeybee
sucking on the sweetest flowers
and when the night is falling we got the power to fly...
and that is the only feeling,
the one and only chance to get away
from anything that hurts
thats what my manager used to say...
and that is the only moment
giving away is all we got to do
to take away the pain
till the music will rage in our brains
and then were standing in a hurricane
2 b free...
youre standing in a hurricane
to be free
hand in hand with me to be free...
and the sun goes down...

She's a cool blonde scheming bitch
She makes my body twitch
Walking down the corridor
You can hear her stilettos click
I want her so much I feel sick
The girl can't help it, she really can't help it now
It's like a highschool, highschool confidential
Teenage brandos stalk her in the halls
They tease her with cat calls
She's a combination anita eckberg, mamie van doren
Dagmar highschool confidential
What's the principal doin' with her who's that girl
Is she screwing with her
What's her perfume: tigress by fabergé
She makes me cream my jeans
When she's coming my way
She drives a candy pink cadillac
If I don't get her soon, I'll have a heart attack
When she flashes me a look I wanna burn my books

there's no more place to go
the other bars are closed
the night the stranger came to town
how do you know
when you're right or wrong?
how do you know
if you hurt or if you don't?
so many people say so many things
but nobody agrees on anything
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
this night's an empty shell
shadows she said
and all the shadows followed after her
you burned the book of life
the cradle and the tomb
how could you ever dare
there's no more turning back
your stars lit up in flames
there's gunsmoke in the air
and yesterday you bought a brand-new car
but you don't feel like going very far
there's no more place to go...
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
this night's an empty shell
shadows she said
and all the shadows followed after her
here they come...
shadows she said...
and all the shadows followed after her...

Little darling
On the factory floor
Sirens are wailing
They are calling you like lovers
They always want more
Department 27
Deep down below
You are piecing together
The seeds of the world
Ashen roses
Growing darkness
Starving children
Someday you stand up and dance
Glittering sunlight,
Keep on shining
And put them together
The seeds of the world
Binding all the flowers of the world
Start bursting into millions of colours
Unfold all the flags of the nations
Kiss me again, let the battle start
Little darling
What have you done
Hearts are breaking
Live without ending,
Numberless men
Never relaxing
I have to see it all
Fire, desert, cold and arid
And all in a flash
Binding all the flowers of the world
Start bursting into millions of colours
Unfold all the flags of the nations

Long view into the dark
Moving your finger
You gonna make it for sure into the dark
Master of duel, rendezvoyeur
This is a walk into the dark
Playing the ball
Roll it on but not too fast
There she goes into the light
Close to your eye
Breaking the mirror
Gone out of sight
Flash in the rain

If you need a holiday somewhere in the sun
Let me show you something that is really fun
Take a sparkling holiday somewhere in bubblegum
You can lie down in the shadow of electric silver trees
You can play ferry sinking victim looking water-ski
And if you want excitement ask the poet kids
They all look like charly manson a bit
Take a sparkling holiday.. it's such a fun
You might have a quite interesting sightseeing tour
Go to hangover purgatory nightmare shore
See the damned and the dead and the died for love
The commercial gurus, the artist and the stuff
And if you come to lovey church, sit down in second row
You can hear your sister screaming in the room below
And the priest will claim thus they might be sure
A girl can either be a saint or a whore
Take a sparkling holiday...
Come to the old bridge where the jokers juggle with your fears
Give them a penny and they'll show you how to exorcise
And under the bridge the junkies shoot sperm
It's so expensive these days and they substitute the yearning
And if you want to dine, go to loony's inn
They serve sweet, good collapse with trauma and gin
And afterwards you may need a rest
Then I'll tell you pere lachaise is the best

(Gold/Mertens/Lloyd)
This day's an invitation
And it's just for you
You've got a reservation
For the 17th of June
Open your eyes
And let the sun break in for a while
There may be something
That you've never seen inside
Feel how your heart beats
Like a heavy machine
The sound of the traffic
Is like a silent dream
The dust in the park
The exhaust from the cars
Ascends in that heated afternoon
(You touch a sweaty body!)
Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The day feels so tired
>From the lead in the air
And the fire in the skies
Life seemed to be a fault of grace
But it's ok
It gave you a kiss
In the middle of the crossroads
Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The heat of the sun
Which is stored in the pavement
Feels so fine
Here stands the innocent
and there it comes oh so wild
That's when you're longing
For a summer by the wall
Summer in Berlin, it's alright

(Gold/Mertens/Lloyd)
It's a trick of my mind
Two faces bathing in the screenlight
She's so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hands are resting on her shoulders
When we're dancing away for a while
Oh we're moving, we're falling,
We step into the fire
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
There's no reason to hurry
Just start that brand new story
Set it alight, we're head over heels in love,
Head over heels...
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while
It's the definite show
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
It's so clear and bright in your eyes
It's the touch of your sighs
My lips are resting on your shoulder
When we're moving so soft and slow
We need the extasy, the jealousy,
The comedy of love
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony
And phantasy, my dear
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight...
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places,

We waste our time with big illusions
Talking to the walls
But jericho will never fall
We sold our trumpets long ago
Exchanging all the best we had
Into atomic masterplans
We read the books we had our chance
We spend the world for just one dance
So keep on dancing, all you fools
The cups of fury have been filled
So keep on dancing, all you clowns
Lets have sip before we're killd
So keep on dancing
These politicians make me sigh
Democracy is just a lie
As long as we are rich enough
Each gouvernment will do for us
We feed like vampires on the world
We are the first, they are the third
There ain't no hope, we had our chance
We spent the world for one last dance
7 seals
7 trumpets
7 plagues
7 cups
7 angels
The scarlet beast
Mother of harlots
Faithful and true

Woke up in the morning still I heard this song
Must be somewhere from my dreams, I don't know
Made me feel so good, sun was shining bright
God, I love you that you brought this little song to give me..
Faith
In the morning
I need that faith
To go on, yeah
Give me some faith
Can't get enough of that sweet feeling, give me faith
Oh yeah, I keep the faith
Sweet little girl, lying next to me
Sunlight's playing on your face with soft shadows
You're so beautiful, dream on, dream on, baby
I'm gonna wake you up when the time is right
I'll give you..
Faith...
One day I shall be released by my creator
Going home to where I came from long ago
And the big wheel keeps on turning round and round
Into eternity with me to cosmic meadows
I will be there with all my friends..
..in the morning

Kind of thunder from my heart
Flooding my eyes, flooding my eyes
Kind of armies marching through my head
Sombre soldiers from nowhere
Kind of someone's moving out of me
Have no fear, have no fear
Kind of someone's moving out of me
Going somewhere, going somewhere
Ship is leaving right on time
Empty harbour, wave goodbye
Evacuation of the isle
Cavemen's paintings drowning
Famous last words on the air
I stay here and you are there
While our city softly sinks
Cavemen's paintings drowning

These are the days of evil perfection
This is the world of torture and fame
This is the age of most vicious infection
These are the times of terror and pain
Let them inside and they'll build you a nightmare
Show them, you fool, it'll not be in vein
Here is your costume of deepest surrender
These are the times of terror and pain
I wanna ride on the crest of sensation
I wanna scream in the whirlpools of love
I wanna drown in a climax of thunder
I wanna be with the fools in the storm
Do what you want and then die when you want to
We're gonna walk on the blood of the meek
We're gonna sail through the oceans of wonder
We're gonna live in the dreams that we seek
Send in the parasite clowns on their horses
Send in those idiots and let them advance
Send in the monsters of your own creation
Send them all in and give them a chance
We're gonna dance to the sweetest of music
We're gonna play with the whores in the rain
We'll dissipate the Lord's last temptations
All in the cross-fire of torture and fame
I wanna ride on the crest of sensation
We're gonna live in the dreams that we seek

Show me a place that ain't hell
If there's space, give me room to breathe
That is all that I need
For this body can't fail
And if music be the food of love
Play on, give me excess of it
Let it all out!
Please let me out of here
And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been trying all my life to get to Heaven
But awoke in the eye of a storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins
And return back home
This is the call from the gaols
Coming up to the prisoners of pleasure
Drunk on the blood of the next generations
And I've been through many strange confusions
Splitting myself into too many faces
Now the mirror is broken, I can see the worms behind
But I shall rise from the ashes...
You may well have your ways of triumph
You may well have your ways of truth
Just gimme some room to breathe
That's all that I need
That's all that I need, me and my strange friends
Take my hand and I'll take you out of here
We all belong to the grand astral body
And there's you behind these legendary curtains
Take my hand before you wither in the crowd
I'll take you out of here
Take my hands, take my hands
This is the end of the show
I don't know, was I wrong, was I right?
Oh, love, I don't know,
I wasn't perfect for sure
But now I feel like a new-born baby
Lying in the dew of the morning,
Laughing at the sky, like a brave new Apollo
And I shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, I've been trying all my life to get to Heaven
But awoke in the eye of a storm
But I shall rise from the ashes
Grow from the ruins
And return back home

All in the golden afternoon full leisurely we glide
For both our oars, with little skill, by little arms are plied
While little hands make vain pretence our wanderings to guide
Our wanderings to guide
Ah, cruel three! In such an hour, beneath such dreamy weather
To beg a tale of breath too weak to stir the tiniest feather
Yet what can one poor voice avail, against three tongues together
Against three tongues together
Anon, to sudden silence won, in fancy they pursue
The dream child moving through a land of wonders wild and new
In friendly chat with bird or beast--and half believe it true
And half believe it true
And ever, as the story drained the wells of fancy dry
And faintly strove that weary one to put the subject by
The next time--"It is next time" the happy voices cry!
The happy voices cry!
Thus grew the tale of wonderland, thus slowly one by one
Its quaint events were hammered out--and now the tale is done
And home we steer
A merry crew

Ain't it strange that we destroy what we embrace
And we leave what we seek
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange that we smile when we cry
And no one knows why we are here
And where we're going to
Ain't it strange
We could be, we could be so good together
We could be, we could be so good together
Ain't it strange that we share what we hate
That we break what we love, what we love
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange when we pray we betray anyway
And no one knows what we are for
Why we're so tough, when we're so fragile
Ain't it strange
We could be, we could be so good together
We could be, we could be so good together
Ain't it strange still wecould fall into a dream
I'd wish no one will catch that fall for we could fall for love
Life is but a dream, life is but a dream
All the tears in the world not in vain for the pain is gone
The shame is washed away when we're all one
Life is but a dream, life is but a dream
It's hard to believe after thousands of years
The world's still drowning in blood and tears
We're quite advanced but again we fail
It is dog eat dog on the rat-race trail
It is getting too much and we're getting nowhere
While hatred and fear is all that we share
I can't take it no more when I'm watching the news
We must stick together or we're bound to lose
Stick together or we're bound to lose
Now listen to this...

(Gold/Mertens/Lloyd)
I am an emigre, I write to Germany
In foreign words
A tongue of actuality
Coated in grey gloves
To Germany with love
A war between the wars
To Germany with love
I am an emigre, I write to Germany
In foreign words
A tongue of actuality
Coated in grey gloves...
To Germany with love
A war between the wars
A war between the wars
Triumph over by-gone sorrow
Can in unity be won
Let them all persue this purpose
'till reality is gone
I am an unexpected spy...
>From the outside of my eye
Translate it first then comprehend
I'm here indeed but there I stand...
I write to Germany, I write to Germany
To Germany with love... Germany with love
This is the turn of colours
All real but still unseen
There is no more decision
'cause there's too much in between
Let us build a nightmare-nation
Learn and work as never yet
That this cold new generation
Faith in its own fears beget
Here comes the modern rat
Here comes the terror-squad
Ours is the salt of wisdom,
Here we come all dressed in black
Form the ruins risen slowly
To the future turned we stand
Flourish in the blessing glory
Flourish German fatherland...
I write to Germany, I write to Germany
To Germany with love... Germany with love
All quiet in Germany, all quiet in Germany
