Waterfall, a midnight monsoon in a moonlit tropical station
A million eyes in the African night, calling us in, now don't you be afraid Blue whales navigate the Atlantic, nuclear submarines control the space Life spent, a precious moment, in the wink of an eye we live and we die Dream it up, dream it up! Thinking of a world, a state of perfection Over and over again, masterplan unfold for each generation One touch from the master's hand, one simple chord for the future One touch from the master's hand, one simple chord for all of the future! Monitored by the eye in the sky, while we map it out by the fireplaces New line of technology hits us, celebrate the long lost sensation Multiplying the images as top of the line of all of creation Eagerly we took it apart just to find a glimpse of divine insanity It shines even brighter, for each single day we're climbing the ladder It shines even brighter, with a love supreme, all the work of the master's hand See life reinventing itself, starting over, time and time again A new time of understanding begins, see yourself as a link in the chain reaction This world couldn't do without you, this world couldn't be without you It's perfect because you are, it's perfect because you are Coming up, growing up, looking for a bigger understanding Coming up, growing up, speaking of respect for all the planet Coming up, building up, new religion sees the light of day Coming up, building up, changes ahead but don't you be afraid Every street I've walked down, everyone I've talked to I'm afraid I love them all but for different reasons Every grand old building from a time of visions Every single song, every syncopation It must be something that makes me feel right at home Every act of mercy, every word of kindness Every time I find out how love is blind Every time a smile breaks out from a grumpy face I remember there is hope and it all amazes me It must be something that makes me feel right at home And all my wanting is down to understanding My eyes are deep and distant like the blue Atlantic I'm off the riptide just when the stormy skies roll in I'm just a shimmer in the wind Every time we give, but not for selfish reasons Every time a flower bursts to bloom in the desert Every time a politician is telling the truth Every time I see an end to a lifelong blues It must be something that makes me feel right at home And all my wanting is down to understanding My eyes are deep and distant like the blue Atlantic I'm off the riptide just when the stormy skies roll in I'm just a shimmer in the rain And all my lifelong is focused to be justified Before the train will take me way beyond those dreamy skies A burning questionmark along the corridors of time I'm finding out just who I am |

From the ragged fence
to the cosmic bends we have paved our way with eagerness and forced the world to make some sense In this endless space, looking for Gods given grace Among countless scattered dying stars by the fireplaces we found some comfort Waiting all to serve a greater purpose or to join the cosmic circus now From the garden greens to the mountain streams We all worked the land and payed in sweat while sweet illusions were passing by Like fading tribe on the ocean wide In a random flash we live and die Searching all religions, reasom why Waiting all to serve a greater purpose or to join the cosmic circus now From the habbit hole, to the frozen poles we have filled our hearts with poetry while science was our leading star On to million suns where our fading memories dance While we try so hard to understand the untold genesis of man Waiting all to serve a greater purpose or to join the cosmic circus now |

I am back at the beginning, I have a crust upon my eyes
I'm alone in this my blindness, I'm alone but there is still life Not under a tombstone, no worms are lickin' my bones I'm just in a state here day turn to night and it's late I am back at the beginning, I am black down to my heart I am tied down to this rhythm, In a trance 'til death do us part Like one of those people that are nothing but evil A life of regrets is saved in the flower of death All the things that are sad are saved inside my madness all I touch will die before the summer is gone All the blackest days will always flood my soul Inviting me to rest upon the leaves of autumn Searching for some kindness, lost inside my blindness I turn around, I turn around I am back at the beginning, stripped down to the bone I am blank and I am nothing, I am drained of passion and soul I've traveled the world, All the beautyful girls they have made me a lifelong notorious deciever, believe me!! I'll go underground, when the sun beats down (I'll go underground, when the sun beats down) I am back at the beginning, in the shadows upon my strike So the world have become silent, I can tell that this ain't no life I'm the man without shadow, I've got a stoneful of pillows There's no man in the mirror, just me and I hate what I see!! All the things that are sad are saved inside my madness all I touch will die before the summer is gone All the blackest days will always flood my soul Inviting me to rest upon the leaves of autumn Searching for some kindness, lost inside my blindness I turn around, turn around From the underworld we arise on string of bloodstained magnolias Endlessly throwing the dice but there's no way we can get out of here In a time that see no end I'm building this cluster so sinister of thoughts on love and death in a one man strong disaster In a dark tranquility our hearts descend Aching from a bittersweet that'll never end A face with hollow eyes, A face with no more smiles The cold face of perdition, A voice silent cries The blind man the rooster, the ultimate loser |

I can be your guardian angel
I can be your starlight man You can find a home inside me I can bid you one more dance I can be your all time father I can be your backup friend Although I speak in tounges of angels It resemble sounds of man I'm beside you I'm the starlight in your mind Look inside me I am you, that's what I am I'm around you I'm the starlight in your mind Look inside me I am you, that's what I am Carry on the torch I hand you It'ss not made by human hand Look inside the depth of my eyes And you'll find a universe I'm no taller than the treetops And my sight is not the best But my mind is at the outlook And my view is from birds nest I'm beside you I'm the starlight in your mind Look inside me I am you, that's what I am I'm around you I'm the starlight in your mind Look inside me I am you, that's what I am I'm beside you I can be you guardian angel Look inside me You can find a home inside me I'm around you I'm the starlight in your mind Look inside me I am you, that's what I am |

Time is a thief and timelines invisible
Embedded them years in the texture of skin Slide down the timeline of youth and sobriety Passing the filters of acceptance and charm All of a sudden you're rocking he cradle Born out of love for the memory spin One hand the rattle, the other a hammer Racing with time is where you can't win You can't fight time and you can't just shine on Like in big bold American style There is no facelift to cover the scars So just sit back and enjoy for a while My generation is fresh out of school My generation is close to the rim Shuffle the options of life's complications Scrambling the landmarks, still wearing it thin Trading your freedom for a lifetime achievement Sign up for life on a path that grow dim Chained to the customs and daily routines Things will be different, but God knows when You can't fight time and you can't just shine on Like in big bold American style There is no facelift to cover the scars So just sit back and enjoy for a while The ticking of time is non reversible So sit back my friend, enjoy the ride All of a sudden you're rocking he cradle Born out of love for the memory spin One hand the rattle, the other a hammer You know racing with time is where you can't win |

An observation from the greenhouse
A nifty cluster of insanity Not that solid where the ice is thinner Even for dog with a pedigree You've seen them juggling with emotional devices So confident and so relaxed The league of hasty grown up poets Bumping the world upon its axis And so it's time to take a stand You've seen your life come shaped by foreign hands And so it's time to make a move Letting the world know that you greatly disapprove You better stop that roadside drinking Try find the key to the lock Call a halt to the nightmare shrinking See what's in that Christmas stocking Of money, power, fame and passion The "holy" foursome will spin the ball The ghost of greed above the mansion For leagues of copycats a standard call And so it's time to take a stand You've seen your life come shaped by foreign hands And so it's time to make a move Letting the world know that you greatly disapprove Stranded like starfish on the shore, when the moon eclipses the sun So the countdown do begin. No leg, no feet, no run And when the water finally hits us, then it's either sink or swim Examining the clockworks of the Gods, inside your shiny skin Stranded like ET's on the floor when the ships have left the pond We are all left to float about, for countless years to come No it is either do or die, the last and lonely tribe Finding a way to leave the pond, to say a last goodbye Scanning the same old pages Look for a sign of greatness Learning in the script of life To know your self is self contagious Hope for a glorious Sunday Push back the crappy Monday Eight days to cross the poles And reach the soil of old Britannia Angel, your mind is far from home, in a mayhem of it's own These are the lost breaks of Babylon, the bad of Adam's bone Seeking the pleasure of his ground, as human flesh and bone Tell me has love gone slightly wrong or vastly overblown? Chasing the monster of success and it's catalyzing sparks Flexing the qualities you dispose for entering the game Now it's either do or die, to keep you entertained Keeping the audience on their toes, beyond the last refrain Scanning the same old pages Look for a sign of greatness Learning in the script of life To know your self is self contagious Hope for a glorious Sunday Push back the crappy Monday Eight days to cross the poles And reach the soil of old Britannia On to the riverbeds of time We're scattered driftwood in a sad and lonely line A sum of incidents called "Life" A place where "V.I.P." will grant no further rights As we are swaying in the wind The image left will go no deeper that your skin But all our doings and our deeds Propel the universe into love overbleed Just as the river made a hole inside the mountain You throw your soil into the soul of the great nothing It's not so easy to describe, it looks as though you're binding time But you must be waiting for the moments to arise And so you find yourself in the driver's seat Down the fishing line, the obstacles of time And so you find yourself with a million options chiming Time is such a bitch and fate it's little sister Those universal minds, the archetypes of life To the great minds of our time our admiration flies All the poets and the queens, all the starlets of our dreams To those who came before and those who opened up the doors And so you find yourself in the driver's seat Down the fishing line, the obstacles of time And so you find yourself with a million options chiming Time is such a bitch and fate it's little liar |

Run brother hide if you can
Take these words from the medicine man I saw the sign of men with cold hearts With a heart of stone, unholy rolling stone There is more to this world than we see with our eyes There is more to this world than we touch with our hands (Feels like heaven, feels like flying) Once he was one in a crowd Now, mighty warrior, he walk tall and proud He once heard of a kingdom come in the skies One day he'll spread his wings, go where the eagle flies We touch the solid, seems like we trust the marble men We hold the limits, build a small world for even smaller men See how we run the fields See how we touch the stars Ride the wild horses again Ride like the one you see Run with your open heart Run with no gun in hand See with your open eyes What has begun again |

Don't believe in matter, so please don't fence me in
Don't believe in freedom, you've seen the shape I'm in, Never mind the limits, the values come astray Trust upon the only thing, that matters today.... It's true, the church of your heart Will ring out the wonder of the moment Spirit of the ages All, of your colorful dreams We saw them materialize, and, one by one We trust the pages We do believe in wonder, we do believe it's right Stars will be our blankets, the moon supply the light Gracefully I watch them coming down like waterfalls All ancient souls, universal wisdom, come true! Open doors.... Believe, in the church of your heart And every step you'll take is magic You'll stand up to the heat True, be true to your heart And thru the looking glass of wonder The universe, now at your feet.... Belief, will go all the way, build us a home, a heart out of clay True, the sharp interplay, and no man shall dare, to stand in our way It's true, the church of your heart.... Time may catch me in the middle of my great grand mission Time may not be right, but still I hammer on, nail my higher vision No moment in stagnation, Still ain't no science fiction, slave to my one conviction Watch for this elevation, flowers and celebration Work my way to your heart, is it really true, tell me.... Tell me that it's.......true, the church of your heart |

Mother, what's it all about
Tell me, what's that scream and shout Do they fight what they don't understand They've got nothing to fear from a peaceful man Time running out, wolves getting closer Judas kissing the world is a looser Curtains are down for the Nazarean He'll carry the cross and the world will go free Brother can you feel the fright There's a pack of wolves on the streets tonight The sting of a chilly wind on your face Watching the dogs crawling in disgrace Time running out, wolves getting closer... I heard a voice saying "no, no, no never heard that name, I really got to go" I saw the signs and I heard the call And I bang my head against oblivion wall. The sting of a chilly wind upon your face And the dogs are crawling in disgrace Time running out, wolves getting closer... |

Face to face with the iconized
Picked me up when I was falling Once the dream revealed this face Turned around, now he's calling Two worlds, two lives in his dream Down the river of love together Two birds fly into the sun To unit in this dream forever He said, "Son of mine, whom I idolize very first smile touched my heart I'll set by your side in the darkest of nights when this nightmare hold a grip on your heart" Two worlds, two lives in his dream Down the river of time together Two birds fly into the sun To unit in this dream forever Big wheels of evolution, round & round, around we go out of chaos and confusion, make our way into the flow One step and one more closer, man move in every way High hopes, a new direction, a new level everyday Don't know where we're coming from, Don't know where we're going to Another trick of evolution, into the cosmic revolution Every night when I'm watching the sky, Look for big ships passing by I'm out on my own, you may say that I'm alone And wish that someone would take me home, take me home Man build big machines, sail across the skies Rope ladder to the moon, the night have a thousand eyes Now children hurry home, to the million dollar dream Still life in TV land U-tutor in extreme Don't know where we're coming from And don't know where we're going to Another trick of evolution, into the cosmic revolution Every night when I'm watching the sky, Look for big ships passing by I'm out on my own, you may say that I'm alone And wish that someone would take me home Every night you look down from a star Here I'm stranded with my blue guitar, Don't know if it's real but I know what I feel And I feel it's time for spinning the wheel, spin the wheel But what can I do or what can I say To stop the world from turning I can always wish you'll believe me when I say we get closer the more we're learning the more we are learning... We were born in the sparkling ignition of lust once in the timeless soul found a home This puzzle grand is not of this earth You know well, you can't make it alone you can't make it alone...

If I don't wake up by tomorrow
If I don't work one more day If this is my hearts final beating now. Here is to you what I'd say Never listen to tales from the high wire Hear my flute that I played in your ear I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world Guess I'm a clown in the eyes of the world What do you see in the crystal ball Now, what may com in my way? Tell me the truth do you love me? Cause I haven't come here to play Never listen to voodoo tongue teachers Just taste the stardust I've placed in your mouth I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world Guess I'm a clown in the eyes of the world I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world Some may say I'm a loser Some may say I'm a sinner Work my way like a bulldozer Twist my day for a change Never listen to voodoo tongue teachers Just feel the love that I placed in your heart |

Falling out of the sky, falling into a dream.
All I need is the heart where it all can begin It's just a matter of time, it's just a matter of trust It's just a matter of faith when we all sleep in the dust. Don't deny, just verify the genius of it all It's the cycle of all living thing, hear the children hear the children call ! "We believe in the light, we believe in love every precious little thing We believe you can still surrender you can serve the Flower King" Going out into the grey, into purple and red see, all the beautiful shapes flowing out of my head It's just a matter of time, it's just a matter of trust It's just a matter of faith when we all sleep in the dust. Don't deny, just verify the genius of it all It's the cycle of all living, hear the children hear the children call ! "We believe in the light, we believe in love every little precious thing We believe you can still surrender you can serve the Flower King" "We believe in the heart, we believe in healing in a house where angels sing we'll unite the divided and the fallen one will serve the Flower King" "We believe in the heart, we believe in healing in a house where angels sing we'll unite the divided and fallen one will serve the Flower King |

You left with a promise and sealed with a kiss
remember beginnings, it was nothing like this Like brothers in arms, now worlds apart you follow the rainbow, I follow the heart Now, I'm perfect, I'm no Saint but you can't fool me, so whip off that paint You may think that I'm your stepping stone but in this game your'e all alone Go west Judas, see what you'll find now, we all know what's on your mind Just got and get it, go on collect and burn your bridges, what did you expect You're far from grace & you're far from home You think you're safe in that pleasure dome Now, racing the temple of the snakes soon out of control, start pulling the brakes There's no way you can become clean you're knee deep in the mean machine In blood you signed the dotted line so it's no surprise the sun won't shine Go west Judas, see what you'll find go on "Sieg Heil" the dollar sign You blackheart of the human trade now wizard of the everglades |

No expressions on their faces in the rain
We ain't going nowhere, children We're just strangers on a train No goodbye, and no use sending letters home There's one way to oblivion and that road is far from home You may find it hard to face the evil, do you Son? You still think a miracle will happen when you face the gun And then we'll fade into the night We hold our precious dreams inside With our young hearts open wide Running on the edge of time So won't you hold me one last time Go tell the world about the crime And let it never happen ever again A fool believed his kingdom would last a thousand years Now the echoes paint a future But tomorrow hold the tears The world is watching, but then no one's seen the end Running on a train to nowhere That's the bitter truth my friend Will we ever learn? So the crosses burn You still find it hard to face the evil, do you Son? You still think a miracle will happen when you face the gun And then we'll fade into the night We hold our precious dreams inside With our young hearts open wide Running on the edge of time So won't you hold me one last time Go tell the world about the crime And let it never happen ever again The world will fade into the night Will it ever be the same? Someone remember my name Ride this nightmare to an end So won't you hold me one last time Go tell the world about the crime And let it never happen ever again |

I'll give you the message Go for a ride, into this brand new world Hear me what I say, It's a perfect day It's a perfect time, for a partnership in crime It's a secret world, come on boys and girls are you in or out? far beyond imagination Buy a one way ticket to salvation, be my humble slave Be a faithful servant, be eternal, walk among the brave Do you believe that I'm the chosen one So mystified, almost a son of God Be aware of me, is it plain to see? Am I false or true? AmI dust out of the blue? Turn the world around, lift me off the ground I'm the sign of time, singing praise the dollar sign Buy a one way ticket to salvation, be my humble slave Be a faithful servant, be eternal, walk among the brave |

Home from work our Juliet
Clears her morning meal. She dabs her skin with pretty smells Concealing to appeal. I will make my bed, She said, but turned to go. Can she be late for her cinema show? Romeo locks his basement flat, And scurries up the stair. With head held high and floral tie, A weekend millionaire. I will make my bed With her tonight, he cries. Can he fail armed with his chocolate surprise? Take a little trip back with father Tiresias, Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through. I have crossed between the poles, for me there's no mystery. Once a man, like the sea I raged, Once a woman, like the earth I gave. But there is in fact more earth than sea. Take a little trip back with father Tiresias, Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through. I have crossed between the poles, for me there's no mystery.

If you really wanted to
You could write a hit You could cut the corners And you could make things fit Are you really ready to believe it? Are you really taking my advice? Do you have a mission, can you see it? Do you really feel that you are alright? And soon you'll dine with presidents And soon your name will get that nicer ring You'll be the one familiar face In hollow echoes from a world you sing We don't want no bloody poem We don't want your second thoughts Don't you think you overdo it? Have you heard that less is more? Are you really ready to believe it? Are you really taking my advice? Do you have a mission, can you see it? Do you really feel that you are alright? And soon you'll dine with presidents And soon your name will get that nicer ring You'll be the one familiar face In hollow echoes from a world you sing You don't have to fight for regocnition You don't have to sweat to get the gold You just have to shake those two and listen You just have to do what you are told Are you really ready to believe it? Are you really taking my advice? Do you have a mission, can you see it? Do you really feel that you are alright? And soon you'll dine with presidents And soon your name will get that nicer ring You'll be the one familiar face In hollow echoes from a world you sing |

Last minute on earth
what would you do, who would you call? Your mobile is down, who will write the history of that final day? That last minute on earth one minute alone, lost word or cause for one who had everything, now unfold this scary beautiful end Last minute on earth saving your last famous words maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay Last minute on earth fractions of time is all that is left You used to kill time, now it's time who's killing you, they've closed the store Last minute on earth waiting to fly like pigs in the dirt gold 'round your neck, but your wings are broken, bent & burnt they say Last minute alive check your account, to buy a way out beating the clock, but you cannot beat the feeling of being alive!!! Last minute on earth saving your last famous words maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay Last minute on earth, in the rapids of time A story on wheels without rhythm (or rhyme) Racing the memory lane, high and low You own the world but got nowhere else to go Last fraction of hope, a flickering light Voices so clear step out of the night ...go talk to your God instead of talk to yourself Look into the light if you're looking for help!!! |

If I don't wake up by tomorrow
If I don't work one more day If this is my hearts final beating now. Here is to you what I'd say Never listen to tales from the high wire Hear my flute that I played in your ear I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world Guess I'm a clown in the eyes of the world What do you see in the crystal ball Now, what may com in my way? Tell me the truth do you love me? Cause I haven't come here to play Never listen to voodoo tongue teachers Just taste the stardust I've placed in your mouth I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world Guess I'm a clown in the eyes of the world I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world Some may say I'm a loser Some may say I'm a sinner Work my way like a bulldozer Twist my day for a change Never listen to voodoo tongue teachers Just feel the love that I placed in your heart |

How I love it when you're down
I love when your wings Are nailed to the ground And your pain brings me joy But I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy And this feeling is all that I know I've been taken and bent by the undertow And I hope you hurt like I hurt, I do Hope you join my emotional vertigo When it rains, it rains, it rains My memories, they're fading fast Like watercolors in the rain So much I wanted to say But I'm locked away How I love it when you fail When your wings are tied down to the rail When the train run you down See your smile break down into a frown Any devil give credit to me Turning triumph to sweet misery Guess I locked my door to love long ago And the questions don't come for the answers I know When it rains, it rains, it rains My memories, they're fading fast Like watercolors in the rain So much I wanted to say But I'm locked away I'm lonely and cold jealous boy I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy |

What if God is alone
and he really needs someone to talk to? What if I'm feeling small? I need someone to look up to In this day and this age there is too much information And the loudness of man seems to cloud the revelations Like letters from across the sea Secrets written signed and sealed My hands, shaking like a leaf my scarred soul is getting healed Every time I try to get it right In the dark there is no light I wait and I wonder why God is on his own? What if God is at your door but you leave him standing in the cold If there's angels on board you can hear the voices thru the walls There's a heaven obscured by greed and hate and pettiness You know love can turn cold and leave your heart with emptyness Like letters from across the sea Secrets written signed & sealed My hands, shaking like a leaf My scarred soul is getting healed Every time I try to get it right In the dark there is no light I wait & I wonder why God is on his own? What if silence will fall and finally I'll hear myself What if God hear my call all my wearyness be put to rest I can see beyond time I can love beyond words I can shine beyond suns I can dream beyond worlds I can live, I can die but it all means the same I'm the spark in the eye I'm the bright inner flame I am one of the earth I am one of the skies I am blood, I am war I'm a sweet lullaby I'm not good I'm not bad I'm just born in your head When you want me to be Where you want me to be I am nothing you'll see we both die, don't you know so don't you try |

Waterfall, a midnight monsoon in a moonlit tropical station
A million eyes in the African night, calling us in, now don't you be afraid Blue whales navigate the Atlantic, nuclear submarines control the space Life spent, a precious moment, in the wink of an eye we live and we die Dream it up, dream it up! Thinking of a world, a state of perfection Over and over again, masterplan unfold for each generation One touch from the master's hand, one simple chord for the future One touch from the master's hand, one simple chord for all of the future! Monitored by the eye in the sky, while we map it out by the fireplaces New line of technology hits us, celebrate the long lost sensation Multiplying the images as top of the line of all of creation Eagerly we took it apart just to find a glimpse of divine insanity It shines even brighter, for each single day we're climbing the ladder It shines even brighter, with a love supreme, all the work of the master's hand See life reinventing itself, starting over, time and time again A new time of understanding begins, see yourself as a link in the chain reaction This world couldn't do without you, this world couldn't be without you It's perfect because you are, it's perfect because you are Coming up, growing up, looking for a bigger understanding Coming up, growing up, speaking of respect for all the planet Coming up, building up, new religion sees the light of day Coming up, building up, changes ahead but don't you be afraid Every street I've walked down, everyone I've talked to I'm afraid I love them all but for different reasons Every grand old building from a time of visions Every single song, every syncopation It must be something that makes me feel right at home Every act of mercy, every word of kindness Every time I find out how love is blind Every time a smile breaks out from a grumpy face I remember there is hope and it all amazes me It must be something that makes me feel right at home And all my wanting is down to understanding My eyes are deep and distant like the blue Atlantic I'm off the riptide just when the stormy skies roll in I'm just a shimmer in the wind Every time we give, but not for selfish reasons Every time a flower bursts to bloom in the desert Every time a politician is telling the truth Every time I see an end to a lifelong blues It must be something that makes me feel right at home And all my wanting is down to understanding My eyes are deep and distant like the blue Atlantic I'm off the riptide just when the stormy skies roll in I'm just a shimmer in the rain And all my lifelong is focused to be justified Before the train will take me way beyond those dreamy skies A burning questionmark along the corridors of time I'm finding out just who I am |

Realizing how little we know I can see the strain in your face Just assuming we all join the race Hold on - the truth will set you free Rain keep on falling like the first morning No one asking "how does it feel?"

I can't get up... and you no more! Someone's talking in my head The sunshine!

Make my way look so clear The white line Touch my heaven! |

Tell me that the monster is gone One more lullaby to sing Mommy leave the radio on Let no intruders make their way into my dreams So mommy keep it nice and clean You light a fire and keep the animals away I'll try forget that I'm afraid Mommy you can tell me why There is no way we can escape from dying? Mommy can you tell me I get well I really don't care if you're lying If god still have his kingdom Far beyond the skies Now do you think he can hear our cries? Can daddy take me sail across the milty way? I'll try forget that I'm afraid |

The world is open
The world is alive It's technicolor and the sun is slowly rising The morning sun Can almost set the hills on fire All along the coastline You can hear the seagulls cries Is it me that paints a picture Is it me that directs the day? Am I one amongst the millions That will see the world this way? Is it part of the illusion All the overwhelming scenes? Is it love that found it's way in here To lift my beating heart away? Oh, oh... I can see the beauty In a thousand different faces I can hear the small talk In the far and distant market places Everybody is special It's the highlight of their story New life is in the meeting Of the glowing morning glory Oh, oh... The world is even, yes the world is alright We all just float about like sleepy satelites Watching the cycles, see the seasons change From thunderous rivers to the sunny lanes The world is grooving to a brand new beat The ground is swaying below our feet All we ask for is a bit of happiness And a smile upon our children's faces |

Winter, no leaves on the trees
Sky is turning red Silence, I don't know how it feels Deep inside my head So scared to walk that moonlit mile I can't stand to lose my face So tired, I have to rest for a while And get out of these wicked ways Life will kill you! Life will kill you! One step, I'm close to the edge I can't move no more In my life, there's a lot of things I regret That I can't take back for sure My confidence is leaving me The evidence is clear to see It's nobody fault but mine Life will kill you, anytime Life will kill you, any minute Winter, no leaves on the trees I can't move no more Life will kill you, any time Life will kill you, any minute |

Goodnight, it seems that it won't be the last goodbye
How strange we see the hours fly, the voices slowly fade away Still walking tall, come walk with me that royal rocky road Dividing the evil from what's good and soon the judge will pass the score I had the world in my hand, the peace and the power, a love divine I had the land at my feet, but bad is bad when loose ends meet One bad apple can spoil them all How long will matter have the power over mind How long before we leave the wars behind The leaders write our history in blood What would it take before science serve the matters of the heart Instead of keeping half the world apart... The other seeing profit as it's god We had the world in our hands The sea and the forest, the lonely land We had the land at our feet We had it all, but still it seems it's not enough Enough for the most of us...enough for the most of us |

Look for no tears in my eyes
Sing me no sweet lullaby I made a heart of stone I can call my own Remember the days of the shoreline The sun made the surfers go blind Once painfully trapped between childhood and fame Now that's my name Someone please tear down the walls of this room Don't leave me deaf-dumb in a silent cocoon I gave my soul freely for a place in the sun I know that I'm not the only one Shadow flies, dead end of fame Them neon lights spelling my name And I fear the day when the light goes out What's it all about? The dust that once came to my eyes Suddenly left me unwise Painfully trapped between childhood and fame That's a shame Astray like a leaf in the rapids of time Once touched the stars, then back to the grind Back to the level where humans tread Imploded back into my head Someone please tear down the walls of this room Don't leave me deaf-dumb in a silent cocoon I gave my soul freely for a moment of truth A servant and knight to the boot See me, touch me, feel me, will I live forever? Hold me, thrill me, in your love forever |

Quarter to four & the hours keep draggin' tonight
Nothing is wrong but you feel that your life ain't quite right All the plans you made those years ago Looking back on that dusty road and the fading signs all read "oblivion" Stare at the ceiling, the wheelin' and dealin' begin You'll give almost anything now for some real peace within Halfway down our faces frown knowing more but still unsure All the missed opportunities fading hearts and aching bookends Quarter to four and there's something odd building inside Swimming the silence, the river is dark, warm and wide Floating the chambers the echoes start filling your head Finally fading until you don't know if you're dead... Quarter to four and the thoughts keep spinning your mind Don't dig too deep cause you may not like what you'll find Caught between what you're expected to and what is really you Could you have played your cards differently? This and more you will never know. |

Lucy had a dream last night
Lucy dream in black and white Lucy was left there on her own Out in the field, out in the cold She had her summerdress, no shoes She had no plan, she had no clue Maybe the angels beamed her down Maybe she hurried out of town Leaving a family behind Is someone missing her? God, he knows where little Lucy goes She's alone in her dreams high in the fields The men just moving in and out of her life Just to prove that she's not dead, she's alright Lucy has a dream last night Lucy is beyond the skies Lucy is higher than a kite In the back of 60's Cadillac She has a stranger in her arms She ain't going back home until dawn God, he knows where little Lucy goes She's alone in her dreams high in the fields The men just moving in and out of her life Just to prove that she's not dead, she's alright |

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Now time has come for sleep May God forgive me if I dwell Once more in glorious dreams For 50 years I've lived in exile But they'd like to see me swing I've moved around to escape the lies And I've turned away from those hateful clowns Jealous and greedy, star of David We made them kneel But still their God couldn't save'em Goodbye, finito, the final solution is real Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen Now time has one more dream I dream of old Bavarian skies And mountain views beneath I loved my country just like you But times turned out so strange, so strange Someone may claim I was evil Now even notorious, now that's a lie There is no smoke without fire The Jews they are liars, of course, now we have proved Such an excellent scapegoat, now let's move them And Germany was going bad, all wrong So we asked our god for a strong man To give back the glory land That was the dawn, the beginning of impact We are felt so strong, how could we all be wrong For once God's glory shone over Germany No more defeat, no more retreat So unified, we were all so proud We were "uber alles" What a glorious feeling of power Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen... |

She's waiting for the early tide
She turned back where the road got wider She's looking for a soft asylum Thinking loneliness is such a bitch to juggle Been searching in the book of dreams Been dreaming of a desert flower Been waiting for the perfect touch To release her from the self-consuming fire Been hiding in a solitude Grim exile in the business towers A life amongst the living dead Afraid to see what's building up inside of her Five frozen faces fade away Like still life in twilight hour As memories of years gone by The years of glorious undivided power A flower tamed at your expense A friend that could have been your lover Sing softly from a world unchained To catch the dawning resurrection hour Five frozen faces fade away Like still life in twilight hour As memories of years gone by The years of glorious undivided power A flower tamed at your expense A friend that could have been your lover Sing softly from a world unchained To catch the dawning resurrection hour She tapped into the lucid dreams To try escape the wildest fire The fires that consume her soul The way out is getting stony, steep and narrow She's following the spiral down She's trapped inside the wicked powers If only she could hurt her God? He'd crush her soul in the 11th hour |

Now imagine, can you, can you, if you will
See the sunrise "colorize" the hills All the waters running down the mountain streams Flood of Eden bring to life this dream Tiny steps Minor giant steps in the world unite Tiny steps, in the wisdom ramp Minor giant steps in the world unite On the mountain side, silver thread unwind Gently linger on, crystal waters chime Watch the engineer get the details right! Watch him shape the day Out of the darkness comes the light Out of the darkness and the night Tiny steps, in the wisdom ramp Minor giant steps in the world unite Now we understand how we play a part In the tireless games Circles round a sacred heart All the beauty there is Our perception of the dream Sharing equally, all like players of a team Sixtynine, we're walking on the moon Sending those waves to see if we're alone 50 million keep choking in the sun Nothing learned from life still dog eat dog It's just a transmission so we don't mind But what about god and what lies behind Those patterns are old and make no sense So keep on exploiting until the end The masterminds create the new frontiers So "einstein me" please I wanna see it clear Bit by bit they took this world apart There's no more secret left as it hit the market It's just a transmission so we don't mind But what about god and what lies behind Those patterns are old and make no sense So keep on exploiting until the end I'm just the minor giant soul Trying so hard to understand The things that I cannot see Arise from inside of me Coming to terms, to lose control See how a man becomes a soul If thinking is wider than the sea Arise from the dream within a dream It's strange how life's illusions turn They look so different around the corners I wasn't prepared for such a journey And now there ain't no turning back I'm just a minor giant bird Sitting on someone's shoulder And she might undertake this journey While I keep getting older She once was brighter that the sun I may have been her soulmate She couldn't speak while she was dumb But I couldn't figure out It's strange how life's illusions turn They look so different around the corners I wasn't prepared for such a journey And now there ain't no turning back It's strange how words can start a war They call it the domino syndrome A new world is hiding behind the door A world that's always been there |
