|  DREAM MACHINE
I'm your best friend, the dream...
I'm your best friend, the dream
Without a doubt
I'm your best friend, the dream
You need a friend, without a doubt
I wonder why you came around
Are you awake, or do you dream?
You're stuck inside a frozen scene
I'm your best friend, the dream...
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, 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 got 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
SUMMER IN BERLIN
This day's an invitation
And it's just for you
You've got a reservation
For the eastern avenue
Open your eyes
And let the light 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!)
A summer in Berlin, it's all right
The day seems so tight
From the lead in the air
And the fire in the skies
Life seems to be a fault of grace
But it's okay
It gave you a kiss
In the middle of the cross-roads
Summer in Berlin, it's all right
The power 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 all right
Summer in Berlin, it's okay
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 heaven calling?
Hello - hello
Is somebody there?
She must be somewhere
And then she says
Hello - hello - hello
She's really an angel -
She stands in the sunshine
She's closing her eyes -
She'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
TO GERMANY WITH LOVE
I am an émigré, 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 émigré, 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 bygone 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 this 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
BIG IN JAPAN
Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimpse
Of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history, I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
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 - all right,
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, oh, you'll see
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 - all right, Pay!
Then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
FALLEN ANGEL
I heard those voices on the radio
I switched it off because she told me so
She's an investigator
She's like an elevator
Nobody told me we'd be all alone
You know
Somewhere my friend he left me
In that red light zone
You know
She said: I've seen your deepest secrets, son
They're just as lightnings
In the look of your eyes
I said: I want you, Baby
I said: I want some more
I said: I never ever felt it like that moment before
She's an assassin,
She's melting steel in my heart
But I long for more
She says: I want your body
She says: I want your soul
She said: A fallen angel takes it but she'll never let go
She's an invader -
She's from another world
But I long for more and more
She's raising feelings cutting like a knife
She's pouring fire into my liquid life
There's no escaping from her mysteries
She gives me kisses of the strangest kind
She says: I know you'll like it,
So come over here
She says: and let that rhythm filter
Through your body, dear
and then she...
She always did it and she always will
She'll stay that hunter
'till the end of time
I said: I want you, Baby
I said: I want some more
I said: I never ever felt it like that moment before
She's an assassin,
She's melting steel in my heart
But I long for more
She says: I want your body
She says: I want your soul
She said: A fallen angel takes it but she'll never let go
She's an invader -
She's from another world
And I beg for more and more
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
Would you please to drop the bomb on us?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We got no 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 how we won the war?
Little fascist lady she loves you so
Following her leader
She's getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young
Someone's like water
Someone's like 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
They say that 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
I'm too must in deep, I just can't sleep
Get out of the way
Forever young...
LEBEN OHNE ENDE
Kleines Mädchen
In der Fabrik
Du hörst die Sirenen
Sie rufen Dich zur Arbeit
Sie rufen nur Dich
Abteilung 33
Tief in der Erde
Du setzt sie zusammen
Die Gene der Welt
Schwarze Rose
Du wirst warten
Hungriges Kind
Sie werden dich sehen,
Wie du darbst
Lachende Sonne
Warum weinst du?
Du setzt sie zusammen
Aus den Genen der Erde
Blumen wie ein Meer ohne Ende
Blüten wie ein Ozean aus Farben
Bringen sie alle her - um all die Fahnen
Kuß mich noch mal vor dem nächsten Krieg
Kleines Mädchen
Was hast du getan?
Katzen zerbrechen
Leben ohne Ende - Körper ohne Zahl
Niemals mehr ausruhen
Ich muß alles sehen
Feuer - Wüste - Dürre - Kälte... für einen Moment...
Blumen wie ein Meer ohne Ende
Blüten wie ein Ozean aus Farben
Bringen sie alle her - um all die Fahnen
Kuß mich noch mal vor dem nächsten Krieg
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 were 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 ecstasy, the jealousy,
The comedy of love
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony
And phantasy, my dear
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight...
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while
LIES
Baby - what do I do?
Playing my tune for you
Just to get you in the mood
Everybody's going to Hollywood
You're driving me mad
But I'm smiling to the crowd instead
A lot of money is at stake
This is a hit and that's a fake
This is what you mean to me
This is what they all should see
Make a make-up in a foolish style
Telling the truth by making a (big?) lie
When I come, I come but nothing's at ease
Breaking up the whole is a modern disease
Maybe you think tomorrow's just a joke
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke
My love, everything's an interview
And nothing's really new
And everybody's looking for clues
And you know what to do with a clue
My love - I get ready for the show
They're waiting and they will never go
This night is just to go-o-o-o
And It's only for show
Dig that deal and be a millionaire
Drinking cocktails in the stratosphere
Getting jetlagged with my business friends
In these supersonic wonderlands
There's a shadow on the graphic display
First he's smiling but he's fading away
Maybe he thinks tomorrow's just a joke
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke
My love...
ROMANCE
You say high, I say low
You say stop, I say go
You say don't pay the bills
Cause you won't but I will
Do you believe in romance
Do you believe in schemes of dance
COLOURS

JET SET
This is the time now gimme the 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 arms 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 for 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 need no money, we got it free
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 society - 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 okay
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
TRAUMTÄNZER
Zeit steht still wie ein Denkmal
In der menschenleeren Stadt
Auf dem eisengrauen Himmel
Zieht ein Flugzeug seine Bahn
Wie ein Kuss aus Stahl
Alles was zu sagen war
Ist schon längst gesagt
Alle Träume ausgeträumt
Alle Helden sind längst fort
Alle Sterne ausgebrannt
Dein Zimmer ist so leer wie der Mond
Mach dich auf den Weg
Gehorch der Automatik
Folg' der Lichtspur ins Zentrum des Bildschirms
Jeder geht allein
Jeder für sich
Auf seinem Weg nach Alphaville
Komm gib mir deine Hand, den Befehl
Für den allerletzten Tanz
Du bist wie ein Funken in der Nacht
Ich bin die Maschine, die dich Träumt
Regenbogengleiter fliegen in die Wirklichkeit so wie im Traum
Einmal um die Sonne und zurück so wie im Traum
So wie im Traum
Tanz!
INTO THE DARK
Long view into the dark
Moving your finger
You gonna make it for sure into the dark
Master of duel, rendezvoyeur
This is a walk into the dark
Playing the ball
Roll it on but not too fast
There she goes into the light
Close to your eye
Breaking the mirror
Gone out of sight
Flash in the rain
Sign of a walk into the dark...
|  LADY BRIGHT
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...
AFTERNOONS IN UTOPIA
Instrumental
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 light-years 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 from the underworld
Don't you know! Before you turn to stone
You better head out for a Royal trip to the Ivory city-side
And she's rushing in from the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation creating you
The Voyager! is here to stay
The Voyager! she's calling all stars
The Voyager! she's riding a rainbow
The Voyager! gives you the kiss of life
UNIVERSAL DADDY
If you want some kind attention
There's a lighthouse in the night
Come and walk in my direction
Fill your dollhouse, fill your dollhouse with the light
Find the message in your playroom
(I'm in your room)
Written on your spirit toys
(I'm in your toys)
Little troops of tiny soldiers
(We are all soldiers)
Blowing kisses as they're passing by
There's a universal daddy for everyone
From universal dreamers weaving fun
We've got a universal feeling in the air
For universal angels everywhere
Blowing kisses
If you want some kind attention
There's a lighthouse in the night
Come and walk in my direction
Fill your dollhouse, fill your dollhouse with the light
Find the message in your playroom
Written on your spirit toys
Little troops of tiny soldiers
Blowing kisses as they're passing by
There's a universal daddy for everyone
From universal dreamers
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 from Hollywood highs... with wonderful eyes
You're beautiful, put on 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.2L.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 DJ of your soul, little dreamer
C'mon let's swing to that Rock and Roll
The sweetest arrows of desire will set this dance on fire
We'll be together till the end of time,
And when you S.M.I.2L.E., Red Rose, it's just like Blue Sunshine
Blue sunshine
Oh, we're ascending and we'll never die
'cos when we kiss, Red Rose, we're changing 6 to 9, it's Revolution Time
When 6 turns into 9...
Above the City of the million Moons
We'll reach the Palace of the Sun
DO WHAT YOU WILL - shall be your destiny, we will unfold
the secrets of the new JERUSALEM...
DANCE WITH ME
When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns from the ivory city-side
Let the Magnet-Mages wave the signals, flashing oh so fast
Then you'll meet me dear, under the moonshine
In a lovers' heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lovers' 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 never lose
Where the sailors are swaying through the lightdomes,
Shining from the skies
There you'll meet me, darling, anyway
In a lovers' heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lovers' 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...
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 Lilies 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 valiant 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 rivers 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 may 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
In Jerusalem, we pray - It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem - Oh yeah - let's make love
Big yellow Cadillac, carry me back home
On glory roads of pure delight we head out for the stars
In Jerusalem...
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 the 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 the rhythm
Genie, and listen to the voice of the dolphin
Listen to your radio...

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...
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
We shall meet tomorrow night and I kiss you just as tenderly
As CYGNUS kissed the deserts
AIRPORT SKETCH

LASSIE COME HOME
Lonely boy gazing on the afternoon
People drifting across 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.2L.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 realise, 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 video'd 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 realise, 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...
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 light-years 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...
Ev'rybody wants to come home (what a dream)
So, if you don't mind,
Will you join me?
On my way through the eye
Up to the light
Into the world...
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 our honey
Yes, we can change the world, together"
And if we're still invited to walk in this party
I'd go for a saucerful of secrets or more
But the last thing I heard of was that GOD had left the lines
For a brand new universe
HE was supposed to say
My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play
Whoever breaks the seven seals and lets the angry angels free
I do not care just waiting over there
For summer rain
For summer rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
Cool rain
FOR A MILLION

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 tonight
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 tonight
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, tonight
We're awaiting you
Awaiting you
