|  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
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!
BLAUER ENGEL
Frühmorgens halbgeträumte Nacht
Fliegt wie ein Echo durch den Kopf
Du schaust den Spiegel unverwandt an
Der mit Fingern Dich befühlt
Dein Photo aneinanderreiht
Millionenfach zu and'rer Zeit
Dein Photo aneinanderreiht
Millonennfach, zu and'rer zeit
Das bin dann ich, nicht etwa Du
Du schaust mir nur von Weitem zu
Du schreist, ich seh's an Deinem Blick
Ich aber lache nur zurück
Dagegen kalt auf Bahnsteig sechs, Berlin von Hamm über Hannover
Kommandos gellen an den Zügen, die Wagen rucken in die Nacht
Passiert die endlos lange Front von Fenstern Déjà-Vu die Augen
Und Bild um Bild verschmelzen sie zum allerletzten Passagier
Das bin dann ich, nicht etwa Du
Du schaust mir nur von Weitem zu
Du schreist, ich seh's an Deinem Blick
Ich aber lache nur zurück
Zuletzt woanders, 12. Stockwerk, Appartement 100, Appartement 100
Und jemand schleicht sich durch den Raum...
Drei schnelle Schritte zum Balkon, die Tür knallt hinter Dir ins Schloss
Ind krachen dreissig Türen und hallen wider wie wilde Tiere
Das sind dann wir, nur ich und Du, wir schauen uns im Fallen zu
Der Schrei bist Du, ich Dein Gesicht
Du nur ein Schatten, ich das Licht...
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
Arianamania sets 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 sea
Ariana's a real sensation, when will she be on the screen
Arianamaniacs rule the world, haven't you heard
Arianamania sets the scenes on fire, fire
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 all right
The day feels so tired
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 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 all right
Summer in Berlin, it's okay
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 are going to
Ain't it strange
We could be, we could be so good together
We could be, we could be so good together
Ain't it strange that we share what we hate
That we break what we love
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange that when we pray, we betray anyway
And no-one knows what we are for
Why we're so tough, why we must hurt
When we're so fragile
Ain't it strange
We could be, we could be so good together
Ain't it strange, still we could fall into a dream
I'd wish no-one could catch that fall for we could fall for love
Life is but a dream, life is but a dream
All the tears in the world not in vain for the pain is gone
The shame is washed away when we're all one
Life is but a dream, life is but a dream
It's hard to believe after thousands of years
The world's still drowning in blood and tears
We've been quite advanced but again we fall
It's dog eat dog on the rat race trail
It's getting too much, 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
Now listen to this... we could be, we could be so good together
(KEEP THE) 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 your Faith, to go on, yeah
Give me some faith, can't get enough of that sweet feeling
Give me faith, oh yeah, 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, Lady
I'm gonna wake you up when the time is right
Give me faith in the morning, I need your Faith, to go on, yeah
Give me some faith, can't get enough of that sweet feeling
Give me faith, oh yeah, keep the 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
God bless you faith, in the morning
I need you faith, to go on yeah
Give me your love and your affection and I'll keep
you faith, I'll keep the faith oh yeah
I'll keep the faith
RECYCLING
If you meet a long forgotten friend
And he takes you in his arms and smiles
And he kisses you and tells you long gone tales
And he takes you home for a nightride
And he begs you, please, stay here with me
Don't leave me alone
In the end you agree
Remember: you're just being recycled
Well everything you say
Somebody else said it just like you
And everything you do
Somebody else did it before you
And the man in the lab just grins and says
Holding up a tiny can with a sperm
Remember: this is the age of recycling
THAT'S ALL

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 to the sun
Praising our leaders,
We're 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 - and ever
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'll let them come true
Forever young...
ALL IN THE GOLDEN AFTERNOON

WAKE UP!
I saw you smile, I saw you true, I saw you through
Today you're in your best disguise
Where are you now musician, lost your speech, where are you now
You dragon tamer, tell me please, where are your heroes now
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you smile, I saw you turn, I saw you burn today
Your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
Where are you now, magician, lost your wand, where are the dreams
That you have dreamt... when you were a hero
Where are you now, where have you gone, you're much too beautiful
To slip into oblivion
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you smile, I saw you turn, I saw you burn today
Your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
I know you've got a sun inside, I know you've got a sun inside...
I know you've got a sun
I know you've got a sun
Inside
ASTRAL BODY
Into this world we're thrown
A lifeform without a home
Caught in a circus called the material world
Gods without immortality
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing to keep, we're Shepherds of Dreams
We are what we are
Liars, lepers, losers, loners, lovers
The meaning of life
And I want to touch your Astral Body
We are what we are
Oh, we're so full of light, don't let it die
And I want to touch your Astral Body
And if I put pennies on your eyes
Or pyramids on your grave, mysteries mountain high
One day I have to go
But before I leave,
I just want to feel love!
I want to touch
Somebody else than me
We are what we are...
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
|  MONTEGO BAY
The air is oh so thick
There's not a single breeze
The day lies dazed upon the shelf
Beyond a painted window out on a far horizon
There stands a steamboat in the sun
I rised my eyes and stared into that paralyzing light
But god had left the iron skies
This day will last forever, we pushed the final buttons
And someone disconnected time
We are here in Montego Bay...
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 cold
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
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
There is a landscape in my head
I sometimes travel
But this is strictly after dark
Beyond the barricades and trenches
There stands the factory
Hand me the costum of the sad acrobat
And he says:
Son, this is the bread I break for you
But do not touch it
And he says:
Son, this is the wine I pour for you
But do not drink it
Dein aschenes Haar, Sulamith
And he says:
Son, this is the bread I break for you
Son, this is the wine I pour for you
But do not drink it, don't drink at all...
There is a stranger on the shore
I sometimes travel
But this is strictly in my dreams
He feeds the seagulls in the winds with ashes
And as he speaks he's got my father's voice
And he says:
Son, here is some bread I broke for you
Son, here is some wine...
Those were the days, my friend
Dein aschenes Haar, Sulamith
Der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland

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

DANGER IN YOUR PARADISE
Sometimes I feel wherever I go
I leave no man's land behind
And God is a pet and the devil's a toy
And I'm a danger in your paradise
Here I go
Here I go
Sometimes I feel wherever I go
I leave crimson roses behind
With a toy in my hand and a pet at my side
I spread roses, roses in your paradise
Here I go,
With a toy in my hand and a pet at my side
Here I go
Here I go
I'm a danger in your paradise
And life is a pretty, impolite bastard
I spit at you,
I spit at you,
I spit at you bastard
I want to cut out your chameleon tongue
I'm a danger in your paradise
Here I go...
Sometimes I feel wherever I go
I leave crimson roses behind
With a toy in my hand and a pet at my side
I spread roses, roses in your paradise
And life is a pretty, pretty gigolo
I caress you,
I caress you, gigolo
And god is a pet and the devil's a toy
And I'm a danger in your paradise
FEATHERS & TAR
You came one night, turned my tide
Blood red moon that you are
Now I sit here, what can I do
Wrapped in feathers and tar
You clutched my back and you bit my neck
Stroke me down to the floor
You burn my brain, lay me in chains
And I want more
I'm on my knees, can't you see
I don't know what to do
Can't you heal me, can't you feel
That my heart belongs to you
It seems so wrong, that I sing this song
Could it be, babe, could it be that you feel the same
But let me tell you, and that ain't no excuse where both
In the same situation under each other'S sign like
Partners in crime and nobody needs to tell me that this
Ain't the end of the world it's just one of those crazy
Moments of the late, late 20th century but you visit my
Sweetest dreams and you kindle all of my phantasies and
You're right, it's your name that I scream don't you
Feel it, don't you hear me baby...
I'm on my knees, can't you see...
You came one night, turned my tide
Blood red moon that you are,
Now I sit here, what can I do
Wrapped in feathers and tar
You paint my lips and you sank my ships and I,
I love you so, I love you so
You see me pray, please go away
No, don't go, don't go, cause I want more...
HERE BY YOUR SIDE
When you feel so far away
Though you're close to everything
And the feeling of estrangement's
Coming up on spider's legs
Even in these days of wonder
Even in the age of faith
There are some who goin' under
There are some who got it made
In the middle of the night
When the last of God has died
And the only thing you've got
Is the tictoc of the clock
I'm here by your side
In these days full of wonder
So you passed so many years
In a labyrinth of traces
Running round and round they lead
To no one but yourself...
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 Master Plans
We reads 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
Let's have a sip before we're killed
So keep on dancing!
These politicians make me sigh, democracy is just a lie
As long as we are rich enough, each government will do for us
We feed like vampires on the world
We are the first, they are the third
Ain't no hope, we had our chance
We spend the world for one last dance
So keep on dancing, all you fools
The cups of fury have been filled
So keep on dancing, all you clowns
Let's have a sip before we're killed
So keep on dancing!
Seven seals, seven trumpets
Seven cups, seven plagues
Seven angels, the Scarlet Beast
Mother of Harlots, faithful and true
FLAME
I've been searching, 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 we'll 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 weather, now I wanna live forever
I carry your flame
All through my life, I'm a believer
Peace deep in our hearts, all things must pass
But we'll be together...
IN BUBBLEGUM
If you need a holiday somewhere in the sun
Let me show you something that is really fun
Take a sparkling holiday somewhere in bubblegum
You can lie down in the shadow of electric silver trees
You can play ferry sinking victim looking water-ski
And if you want excitement ask the poet kids
They all look like Charly Manson a bit
Take a sparkling holiday... it's such a fun
You might have a quite interesting sightseeing tour
Go to hangover purgatory nightmare shore
See the damned and the dead and the died for love
The commercial gurus, the artist and the stuff
And if you come to lovey church, sit down in second row
You can hear your sister screaming in the room below
And the priest will claim thus they might be sure
A girl can either be a saint or a whore
Take a sparkling holiday...
Come to the old bridge where the jokers juggle with your fears
Give them a penny and they'll show you how to exorcise
And under the bridge the junkies shoot sperm
It's so expensive these days and they substitute the yearning
And if you want to dine, go to loony's inn
They serve sweet, good collapse with trauma and gin
And afterwards you may need a rest
Then I'll tell you Pere Lachaise is the best
Take a sparkling holiday...

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 one's made for you
Mssage understood?
Flower in a word, words without a priest
Wings without a bird, beauty without beast
Signal overkill, trains are overdue
Fool upon a hill, ocean overview
Letters in the rain...
Fool upon a hill, trains are overdue
Except what we forgot nothing's really new
Head above the clouds, eyes are opened wide
Windmill burning down, walk into the light
Walk into the light
Monkey in the moon...
Letters in the rain
This one's made for you
