В начале восьмидесятых в западногерманском городке Энгере пересеклись пути двух юных, музыкально одаренных единомышленников, которых объединила одна пламенная идея - изменить мир к лучшему с помощью музыки. Как нетрудно догадаться, это были Бернхард Ллойд (Bernhard Lloyd) и Франк Мертенс (Frank Mertens). После непродолжительных экспериментов с синтезаторами ребята пришли к выводу, что единственное, чего недостает начинающей группе - это талантливый вокалист. Таким образом вскоре к ним присоединился Мариан Голд (Marian Gold), давний друг Бернхарда, живший в то время в Мюнстере - он и по сей день продолжает быть "лицом" группы, оставшись верным "идее и ее чистоте".

Тройка юных романтиков, объединившись под хорошо известным поклонникам по одноименному бессмертному хиту группы названием "Forever Young", дают свой первый концерт в андеграунд-клубе, где Ллойд работал в то время ди-джеем. Выступление проходит на "ура", и воодушевленные успехом музыканты вместе со своими друзьями и подругами основывают в Мюнстере Nelson Project - идиллический мирок, убежище социалистически настроенных творческих идеалистов.

1983-84 годы стали решающими для коллектива - именно тогда был подписан контракт со звукозаписывающей компанией WEA. Тогда же возникла идея дать новое название группе. Мариан, Бернхард и Франк, будучи большими поклонниками кино и научной фантастики, недолго думая нарекли себя в честь одной из своих любимых кинолент. Alphaville - так называется научно-фантастический фильм Жана-Люка Годара (Jean-Luc Godard) о городе будущего, контролируемом компьютером, удостоившийся в 1965 г. главной премии в Западном Берлине.

Время шло, и в начале 1984 г. Германия, за ней другие европейские страны, а потом и США стали свидетелями восхождения новой яркой звезды на музыкальном небосклоне - Alphaville взлетели на вершины чартов со своим синглом "Big In Japan"; аналогичная судьба постигла и два их последующих сингла - "Forever Young" и "Sounds Like a Melody". На волне успеха музыканты выпустили свой первый альбом "Forever Young" в сентябре 1984 г. Незамысловатые, но чарующие слух синтезаторные мелодии в сочетании с великолепным голосом Голда сделали свое дело - альбом разошелся по всему миру тиражом более 1,5 млн экземпляров. Мечта сбылась, но талантливые юноши и не думали почивать на лаврах - впереди их ожидал долгий путь, и перемены не заставили себя ждать.

В декабре 1984 г. Франк Мертенс покинул состав группы, и его место занял профессиональный клавишник и гитарист Рикки Эколетте (Ricky Echolette), ранее работавший с Марианом в группе Chinchilla Green. К тому времени музыканты уже имели собственную студию в Берлине и работали над своим вторым альбомом "Afternoons In Utopia", увидевшим свет в 1986 г. Этот альбом, планировавшийся как мюзикл, рок-опера, стал отражением мироощущения творческих натур, выражением волнующих их глобальных проблем, что воплотилось в единой концепции, идее, связывающей все песни. "AIU" - это своеобразная ностальгия о будущем, о мире, в котором не будет места социальной несправедливости, ядерным конфликтам, проституции и прочим порокам современности; и то, что мы можем увидеть, а точнее, услышать в результате - яркая фантасмагория, изобилующая футуристическими, инопланетными и мифическими героями, архетипами, символами, расшифровка которых зачастую остается за слушателем - что прекрасно иллюстрируют такие композиции как "Fantastic Dream", "The Voyager", "Lassie Come Home", "Red Rose", "Jerusalem"... За этим последовал выпуск двух сборников песен группы - "Alphaville" (1986) в ГДР, что было редким явлением для западногерманской группы, и ремиксовый "The Singles Collection" (1988) - в США.

Над следующим студийным альбомом, который вышел в марте 1989 г. под названием "The Breathtaking Blue", Alphaville полтора года работали вместе с легендарным электронщиком Клаусом Шульце (Klaus Schultze), известным своими многочисленными сольными проектами, а также экс-участием в группе "Tangerine Dream". Все началось с шуточного предложения Шульце помочь музыкантам с очередным ремиксом, а закончилось выпуском нового альбома. Плодами такого экспериментаторского сотрудничества стали разноплановые композиции с элементами джаза, рок-н-ролла, живой музыки и полным отсутствием коммерческого подхода, что, вкупе с отказом WEA в "раскрутке" привело к тому, что альбом успеха не имел. Впрочем, это не стало помехой для музыкантов осуществить свою давнюю мечту - снять масштабное видео, основой которого была бы сама музыка, атмосфера каждой отдельно взятой песни. Для воплощения этой идеи в жизнь были приглашены режиссеры из разных стран, двое из которых, немцы Вольфганг и Кристоф Лауэнштайны впоследствии получили "Оскар" за свою работу. В рамках проекта было снято 9 коротких фильмов, объединенных в одно 50-ти минутное видео. Этот фестиваль международной режиссуры получил название "Songlines", заимствованное из древнего предания австралийских аборигенов о том, что Бог "воспел" жизнь на земле, бывшей до того бесплодной пустыней.

После этого ребята решили сделать небольшой перерыв - Мариан занялся сольным проектом "So Long Celeste", который увидел свет в августе 1992 г. и включил в себя 6 оригинальных песен и 4 кавер-версии; а у Бернхарда появился прекрасный шанс проявить свой талант студийного чародея, делая ремиксы известных хитов Alphaville, которые вошли в сборник "First Harvest 1984-1992".

1993 г. ознаменовался выпуском сборника "History", предназначавшегося исключительно для членов официального фан-клуба. На этот период пришлось также несколько выступлений группы, в том числе на фестивале в Финляндии, где под открытым небом собралось более 15 тысяч человек. Однако на свое первое настоящее европейское турне привыкшие исключительно к работе в студии музыканты решились только в 1995 г.

Этому предшествовал выход в октябре 1994 г. пожалуй самого сложного и тяжелого для восприятия, и вместе с тем яркого, насыщенного реальными переживаниями альбома "Prostitute", обнажающего весь спектр эмоций чувствующей души - от счастливой умиротворенности ("Faith", "The Impossible Dream") до глубокой горечи ("The One Thing", "Parade") и агрессии ("Some People", "Ascension Day"); от тревоги и страха мечтательного резидента башни из собственных иллюзий, оказавшегося один на один с суровой реальностью ("Oh Patti", "Ivory Tower") до уверенного расставания со всем старым, бесполезным и отжившим, самотрансформации и триумфа новой надежды ("Euphoria", "Apollo"). Жанровый диапазон песен также широк - это и поп, и рок, и регги... "Prostitute" стал поворотным пунктом как в истории группы, так и в мировоззрении ее участников - наивные идеалисты повзрослели и сняли розовые очки, но не утратили веру в возможность изменения мира - напротив, облекли ее в новую, более зрелую и убедительную форму. Этот альбом, четвертый по счету, также не имел коммерческого успеха, не вписавшись в каноны музыкального рынка, обычно требующие от хита смысловой непритязательности и незатейливой, "цепляющей" мелодии - что, впрочем, не помешало синглу "Fools" войти в сотню лучших песен Германии.

Еще через год, в конце 1996 г. свет увидел второй сольный альбом Мариана Голда, "United", сохранивший атмосферу "Prostitute" острыми переживаниями, порой граничащими с безысходностью, плавно сменяющейся тонкой иронией, легкой меланхолией, размышлениями о смысле жизни. В альбом вошло две кавер-версии ("Say It Ain't So Joe" Мэррэй Хэд и "Five Years" Дэвида Боуи). К сожалению для преданных поклонников, "United" изначально был издан и доступен исключительно в Южной Африке, и был переиздан в Штатах только 3 года спустя.

Между тем, в сентябре 1997 г. вышел очередной совместный альбом группы - прощальный для Рикки, впоследствии покинувшего Alphaville - над которым музыканты работали во Франции, начиная как бы с чистого листа, в чем-то возвращаясь к первоистокам своего творчества, результатом чего стали простые и немного наивные, в духе "Forever Young", но красивые и проникновенные композиции ("New Horizons", "Guardian Angel") - как энергичные дискотечные танцевалки ("Control", "Wishful Thinking"), так и прочувствованные баллады ("Flame", "Inside Out"). Этим альбомом с красноречивым названием "Salvation" вечно молодые душой романтики подтвердили, что их рано списывать со счетов, и что Alphaville в состоянии составить конкуренцию многим современным группам. Украинские меломаны имели возможность убедиться в этом, побывав на фестивале "Рок-Киев" летом 1999 г., где Alphaville продемонстрировали, что есть еще порох в пороховницах, вдохновение и желание творить.

В декабре 1998 года музыканты выпустили сборник "Dreamscapes", состоящий из восьми компакт-дисков, на которых собраны неизданные ранее, редкие концертные записи и ремиксы; в сентябре 1999 г. появился сборник "Visions of Dreamscapes" с избранными треками из Dreamscapes в поддержку бразильского тура Alphaville; а в июне 2000 г. вышел первый "живой" альбом группы - "Stark Naked And Absolutely Live", целый месяц пребывавший на вершине альтернативных чартов Германии. В этом же году Бернхард Ллойд со своим давним приятелем, музыкантом Максом Холлером (Max Holler), объявили о создании совместного музыкального проекта в интернете - Atlantic Popes.

В октябре 2001 г. группа порадовала верных фанов альбомом ремиксов "Forever Pop", вдохнувшим новую жизнь в старые добрые хиты "Victory Of Love", "Big In Japan", "Jerusalem", "Forever Young" и др., которые приобрели несколько отличное от оригинального, более привычное уху современного слушателя звучание - что ж, великолепная возможность для воспитания новых поколений поклонников одной из самых романтичных групп последних десятилетий! Примерно в это же время, а точнее с октября 2000 по ноябрь 2001 г. на официальном сайте Alphaville в рамках своеобразного виртуального проекта "Dreamscapes #9" каждый месяц "в эфир" выходило по одной песне, в создании некоторых из них принимали участие и фаны. A 29 Января 2003 увидел свет новый альбом под названием "Crazy Show", в который и вошли песни из виртуального проекта "Dreamscapes #9" (как демо так и новые версии песен). Альбом состоял из 4-х дисков и распространялся только по интернету. В течении двух месяцев поклонникам группы предоставлялась возможность предварительно заказать "Crazy Show". В день релиза на сайте Moonbase была устроена онлайн вечеринка для всех поклонников группы. На ней были предложены для скачивания две новые на тот момент песни - "Ways" и "Heartbreaker", картинки из буклета, который входил в комплект "Сrazy Show", полный треклист нового альбома и чат с героями этого дня.

В марте 2003-го официально объявил о своем уходе Бернхард Ллойд, а ядро Alphaville на тот момент составили Мариан Голд, клавишник Райнер Блосс, являвшийся соавтором многих песен группы с начала 90-х, и музыкальный директор Брайтон Мартин Листер, успевший приложить свою руку к созданию пары треков. В 2004-м группа впервые выступила в сопровождении струнного квартета. История Alphaville продолжается...

Тексты песен альбома Forever Young (1984)


A victory of love

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 how we 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's 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, hello - hello
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
Hello - hello

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...


Summer in Berlin

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
Summer in Berlin, it's ok


Big in Japan

WinterВґs 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

Aah when you're big in Japan, tonight...
Big in Japan, be tight...
Big in Japan... ooh 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
Oh 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
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

Aah when you're big in Japan,tonight...
Big in Japan be tight...
Big in Japan... ooh 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


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
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 pursue 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

From 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


Fallen angel

I hear those voices on the radio
I switched it off because she told me so
SheВґs an investigator
SheВґs like an elivator
Nobody told me weВґd be all alone
You know
Somewhere my friend heВґd left me
In that red light zone
You know
She said: IВґve seen your deepest secrets, son
TheyВґre 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
SheВґs an assassin,
SheВґs 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 sheВґll never let go
SheВґs an invader -
SheВґs from another world
But I beg for more and more

SheВґs raising feelings cutting like a knife
SheВґs pouring fire into my liquid life
ThereВґs no escaping from her mysteries,
She gives my kisses of the strangest kind

She says: I know youВґll 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
SheВґll stay that hunter
Вґtill the end of time


Forever young

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't 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 we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men

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 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 don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams 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
Do you really want to live forever?


In the mood

He's in the mood to touch the fire,
He's in the mood to touch everything you are
He's in the mood to touch the fire,
Touch the fire, touch the fire

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 so strong
It's so supersensual, so sentimental
Dial that cipher in your tears,
The number to the golden year

You've got to touch the fire,
Wake up little boy
You've go to play with fire,
Wake up, you've got to...
You've got to play with fire...

Jacky hears it, is it her or not?
His eyes are burning
Cause the brain's too hot
He's sitting calmly on a 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 the hill,
Just come... come and meet me
You know where and we'll take a nice holiday
Back in the old, old days of happiness --

Oh, Jacky, when everything goes wrong...
Dial that cipher in your tears


Sounds like a melody

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 Cary Grants and Kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony and fantasy, my dear
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight


Lies

Baby dear -- 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

My love...

And it's only for show
Get ready! Get ready! Get ready...


The jet set

This is the time, now gimme that beat
feel how the rhythm grips your feet
ah kitty-baby, take my hand
she's like a devil heaven-sent
i'm in her armes and she's in mine
maybe we'll make the film on time
sitting in the 15th row
oh baby baby, i love you so

We are the jet-set society, we are the jet-set
and that means liberty

We're on the run,
we know where to go
we've got the tickets to the midnight show
these nights are burning 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 are the high-high-high-high-high
so-ci-e-ty

We are the jet-set society, we are the jet-set
and that means liberty

We are the jet-set / hop on the beam
we are the jet-set / hop on the beam

Shine on sociaty - shine on liberty
shine on luxury - shine on so-ci-e-ty

Streets are full of love and fear
this could be the final year
Enrico's dead but still ok
we dance the streets, feeling well
if she's a liar, i'm her lover
if she's a priestess, i'm her cover
if she's a lady, i'm her man
if she's a man, i'll do what i can

We are the jet-set society, we are the jet-set
and that means liberty

Oooh, i do what i can
Oooh, baby, i love you so and we don't care

Тексты песен альбома Afternoons In Utopia (1986)


I.A.O. (International Aquarian Opera)

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


Fantastic dream

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
reaching out for love.


Jerusalem

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

Big yellow cadillac, carry me back home
On glory roads of pure delight we head out for the stars

In Jerusalem...


Dance with me

When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns from the city-side
Let the Magnet-Mages 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 crystal roofs
Where the solar boys are playing games they'll never lose
Where the sailors are swaying through the light domes shining from the sky
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


Afternoons in Utopia

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


Sensations

Listen to the news, changes are coming soon:
Atlantic engineers & cities in the moon
You better look across the ocean, now 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 comedians are 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 dolphin

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 ecstasy is overwhelming you
Acrobats & Comets streaking by
40,000 sirens are wailing in the sky
Innersexual circuits are cruising without fear
All inviting you for partytiming here

That's the start of 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 dolphin

Listen to your radio...

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..

Here's the new sensation
We're on every station...


20th century

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, CAROL?

You can halt your car to get your tickets to the starlite skies, you know...
Everybody 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
Into the world...


The voyager

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


Carol masters

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 (repeat two last verses)


Universal daddy

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, let's 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...


Lassie come home

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 -- Lassie come home...


Red rose

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

Above the City of the million Moons
We'll reach the Palace of the Sun
DO WHAT YOU WILL -- shall be your destiny, we will unfold
the secrets of the new JERUSALEM...


Lady bright - faster than light

There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was much faster, much faster than light
She departed one day in a relative way
And returned on the previous...

Тексты песен альбома The Breathtaking Blue (1989)


Summer rain

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 the
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 last thing I heard of was that GOD had
left the lines
For a brandnew 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 care just waiting over there
For summer rain
For summer rain

What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
Cool Rain


Romeos

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


She fades away

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


The mysteries of love

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 that all
we wanna be is free
Like the beasts of the sea.
We kiss the last Good-Byes
And sailing with a S.M.I^2.L.E
'cross the iron borderlines
That butterflies despise.
We cannot lose at all
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


Ariana

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


Heaven or hell

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


For a million

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?


Middle of the riddle

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


Patricia's park

(Instrumental)


Anyway

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 shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that I'm not there
Make your choice
I'll love you anyway

Тексты песен альбома Prostitute (1994)


The paradigm shift

Lets dance
Stop to fight
We do the paradigm shift tonite
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
Evolution's not a model of yours

For quietness is stronger than motion and silence is stronger than sound
We're listening to the tone which is not played
Nothing is what we want
Nothing is what we get
But the holistic moment of all
Yes
That is the way
Do you hear the river 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 deathbringing system
There's no place where you can hide
Stop! chasing the wrong gods of time
I'm running out of time
Time kills

You're lowering hopes much too much,
getting 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
Do you hear the river flow
Do you hear it!?


Fools

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 were 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


Beethoven

Theres a tremor in the city but it looks all quiet
There is something awful brewing but there ain't riots
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

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
Its just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind
Beethoven

Theres a scrawling on a tombstone
Judenschweine raus
Once again the racial fury is burning down the house
Beethoven
Theres a bleeding yellow man lying in the streets
But there isn't anybody doing anything

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
Its just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind

And one grey day shall rise the flood no dikes will stem the heavy tides
When cold pierced feathered bodies scream
They fall as if the monstrous scythe of clouds had smashed them from the sky
The scattered squadron of mankind stabs right into the churned up ether
Of long forgotten birdless flights

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....


Ascension day

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 build you a nightmare
Show them, you fool, it'll not be in vain
Here is your costume of deepest surrender
These are the times of terror and pain

I wanna ride on a 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 the 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 a crossfire of torture and fame


The impossible dream

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


Parade

The crowd is looking drowned
And a mother in tears
There are flipflapping 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

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
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 gouvernment

He's live on TV
Dead as a hero can be
...when the boys are parading to heaven, my friend
Put all the blame on you
On you


Ain't it strange

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 going to
Ain't it strange

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
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

Ain't it strange, still we could 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 is still drowning in blood and tears
We've been quite advanced but again we fail
It is dog eats dog on the ratrace 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


All in the golden afternoon

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

Ah, cruel three! in such an hour beneath such dreamy wheather
To beg a tale of breath too weak to stir the tiniest feather
And what can one poor voice avail against three tongues together

Anon, to sudden silence won, in fancy they persue
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 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

Thus grew the tale of wonderland, thus slowly, one by one
It's quaint events were hammered out
And now the tale is done and home we steer
A merry crew
Beneath the setting sun


Oh Patti

Patti can't take it
She got to give it back
The world is a big place and she's frightened
And if you kiss her
She got to 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
And she does not dare to throw the stone
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
All alone


Ivory tower

Here is the news
From my little hideaway
My sweet ivory tower
I've sent you songs about so many things
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 summerdays
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 fantasy

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
Desasters in the twentieth century

In the event that i don't return
Please, take this message to understand
In the event
In the event


Faith

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
I need that faith...


Iron John

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 take 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 saw
So shall you reap

Lets take a ride on Iron John's shoulders
He has more gold than anybody in this world
Lets tak a ride, hey-ho on Iron John
He has more gold
Than anybody 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 says, well that's the business, running after no.1
For all their childish daydreams you caught their falling stars
Just for the cheapest contracts you signed your autograph
And if you started much too early, therefore you stopped too late
Make sure no one can stop you now, here comes the ultimate

He will be with you, he will be there when you call out the magic words..


The one thing

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 fairytales have all turned 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 with that voice
I can't stand it
When i look into your eyes
Who do you think you are
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 tonite it feels so cold

That is the one thing i know...
Stop talking...
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
No more


Some people

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!


Euphoria

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
Caveman'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
Drowning
Drowning...


Apollo

Show me a place that ain't hell, if there's space, give me room to breathe
That's 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 tryin' all my life to get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But i shall rise from the ashes, grow from the ruins and return
Back home

This is a 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 to many faces
Now the mirror is broken, i can see the worms behind

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
Me and my strange friends
We all belong to the grand astral body
(take my hand and i take you out of here)
And there's you behind those legendary curtains
Take my hand before you wither in the crowd
And i take you out of here

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

Тексты песен альбома Salvation (1997)


Inside out

Your hand full of hours - sand from the urns
a traveling 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

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


Monkey in the moon

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 ones 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 nothings 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
This ones made for you


Guardian angel

Be my guard just for tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing, I cant make it anymore
I am so full of fear, may you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow wont 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 cant speak but cant you see, its 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

Will you be my guard tonight. . .


Wishful thinking

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
There's just one chance to survive...


Flame

I'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 well be together again

I've been walking
I've been walking in the rain
When the angel 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 wheather
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
But well be together...


Point of know return

The gentle taste of orange
A garden of fruit and flowers is what I embrace
In ocean blue eyes, in each ones an island
I'm stranded within your love

And as I fall deeper than ever
And as we kiss, were each others 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. . .


Control

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 its 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...

Whats the fucking thing about control, did you think you'd ever getting whole
Just as long as there is no control, they have no control of you at all


Dangerous places

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, lets go to a dangerous place
You got the class, I think you're desperate, lets go to a dangerous place
Come on - lets go, come on - lets go, come on...

I promise this thing will sell, I promise Ill take you to heaven
I promise this thing will sell, and I just cant 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
I'm gonna make me yours before I make you mine


Spirit of the age

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 anyones conception
But if you read my lips just on your own behalf
Ill 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, thats 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, thats 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
Your 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
Spirit of the age....


Soul messiah

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

Theres 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
Waiting for something to come


New horizons

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
You are a rainbow


Pandora's lullaby

So you hugged the globe
Now its 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 thats 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 lifetimes 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
But I just sit and wonder a bit that they never wonder why

CD1 - THE TERRIBLE TRUTH ABOUT PARADISE

State Of Dreams

Woke up at the break of day
Something chased my dreams away
IsnВґt it quite strange the way we live
YouВґre so pretty, youВґre so sweet
I like to watch you in your sleep
IВґd 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
ThatВґs 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
IsnВґt it quite strange the way we play
Turn off the lights and come to bed
Forget the dreadful things IВґve 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
ThatВґs where I want it to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
Woke up at the break of day...
Something chased my dreams away...


Ship Of Fools

Did you know when the journey started
That weВґd ever reach that point
Many years we sailed together
Now itВґs time to say goodbye
You donВґt know what IВґve been going through
HavenВґt 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 weВґre drifting along the shores never seen before
When you told me that youВґre leaving
Cause the stakes were much too high
I was wondВґring 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 IВґll 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
On our ship of fools weВґre drifting along the shores never seen before...


Zoo

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.
does it make you feel safer? to have my soul in chains....


C Me Thru

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
But this time I'll be true...


Upside Down

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


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 she'd 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
And as for love we need to be strangers from now on...


Girl From Pachacamac

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..
To be told.


Carry Your Flag

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
For you
Some superhero-being
Waiting
Under the light of the moon
For you..
I'm coming soon.


MoonGirl

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
It doesn't mean that you don't have it anymore


Return To Paradise Part 2

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
Here's a kiss for each of you
Wonder where you going to
When you're sleeping tight
Return to paradise...
Sometimes when it's 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
Here's a kiss for each of you
Maoamoondog's singing too
Lullabies of peace
Return to paradise...
On a ship to elfland wonders
Just a little trip away
There you're 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)
May your dreams come true...


Those Wonderful Things

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
...those wonderful things


On The Beach

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
U & I when our shadows crossed the light
Never have we walked
Further wondrous ways
And this is where we stand
Here on the beach

And I'm tolling my bell
In the fog 2 let u know
I'm here by your side
In this madness called life
Though the knights have all gone
And we lowered our flags
I sing you this song as the tides wash the sands
On the beach
Take my hand like I once took yours
Look me in the eye like i once looked in yours
Here we go again, speaking in strange codes
Reading all the stars
Like an open book
On the beach



CD2 - LAST SUMMER ON EARTH

Wonderboy

I haven't 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 music's 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 haven't been very well
Feeling kind of seasick, tryin' to follow your contrail
You're flying miles above my head
While I'm 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 i'm the wonderboy again...
Wake up, wonderboy...


Hurricane

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
I'd 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
That's 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 I'm 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 you'll 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
That's 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 we're standing in a hurricane
2 b free...
You're standing in a hurricane
To be free
Hand in hand with me to be free...
And the sun goes down...
And the sun goes down...


Do The Strand

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


Still Falls The Rain

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
Still falls the rain...


Ways

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
I'm talking to you soon
There's so much left to say
On a crystal winter's 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 it's alright
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
And then we'd 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, i'm by your side
There's so much left to do, so much left to say in a million ways
There's so much to be seen, so much to be touched, so much to be loved
Take my hand and come out to play ..
There's so much left to do
For me and for you...
There's so much to be loved
Please, come back
Don't 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
I'm talking to you soon
There's so much to be done
When the winter's gone...
And the snowflakes outside...
There's so much left to do, so much left to say in a million ways
There's so much to be seen, so much to be touched, so much to be loved
Take my hand and come out to play...
Come out to play...


The II Girlz

...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...
I love you all, I love you all, I love you all...


Heartbreaker

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 hold in your heart
My baby with your come-to-bed eyes
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
Each night and i can't get enough...


Waiting 4 The Nu Lite

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
Waiting for the new light...


Shadows She Said

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...
Shadows she said...


Crazyshow

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
Just like the sun in some Crazyshow...


MoonBoy

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...
No matter what they say...


Miracle Healing

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 & ecstasy
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...
A miracle healing...?



CD3 - STRANGER THAN DREAMS

Giants

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...
Freedom...


Wish You Were Dead/Wishful Thinking

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
But i didn't know
You were the sun in my life
Thought i was dying
When i realized
There's just one chance to survive...


About A Heart

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 out 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 final blow to come
You see, there's nothing I can do
You'll break my heart
There's nothing left to say
(you'll break my heart...)
Rip it out 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 out, rip it out
You'll break my heart...


For The Sake Of Love

(Instrumental)


Sounds Like A Melody (MaXx MysteryВґs 80Вґs Remix)

It's a trick of my mind
To faces bathing in the screenlight
She's so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hand 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 jelousy, the comedy of love
Like the cary grants and kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony and phantasy, my love
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight


Something (George Harrison 1968)

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
You know i believe and how...


Because Of U

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
Just do it again


Inside Out (Thou Shalt Not Remix 2002)

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


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
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
It is there... where I... now... go...


Last Summer On Earth

(Instrumental)


Diamonds Are 4 Eva

Diamonds are 4 ever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
The won't leave in the night
I've 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 don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's 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 don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone, they luster on
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever, forever
And ever...



CD4 - WEBSITESTORY

Return To Paradise Part 1

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
Here's a kiss for each of you
Wonder where you going to
When you're sleeping tight
Return to paradise...
Sometimes when it's 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
Here's a kiss for each of you
Maoamoondog's singing too
Lullabies of peace
Return to paradise...
On a ship to elfland wonders
Just a little trip away
There you're 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)
May your dreams come true...


State Of Dreams

Woke up at the break of day
Something chased my dreams away
Isn't it quite strange the way we live
You're so pretty, you're so sweet
I like to watch you in your sleep
I'd 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
That's 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
Isn't it quite strange the way we play
Turn off the lights and come to bed
Forget the dreadful things I've 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
That's where I want it to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
Woke up at the break of day...
Something chased my dreams away...


Scum Of The Earth

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...

Upside Down

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


Shadows She Said

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...
Shadows she said...


First Monday In The Y3K

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
Which now belong to the past...


MoonGirl

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
It doesn't mean that you don't have it anymore

And we're killing some time before it kills us anyway
Waiting for the new light...


Those Wonderful Things

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
...those wonderful things


C Me Thru

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
But this time I'll be true...


MoonBoy

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...
No matter what they say...


Miracle Healing

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 & ecstasy
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...
A miracle healing...?
