This goes out to the broken-hearted
To people whose shadows form prison bars
This goes out to those startin´ at zero
And the needle is goin´ the other way
Your sea is so great and the boat is so small

Follow me follow right to the bottom of the night
With my unbroken voice I will ask you to rejoice

This goes out to the young at heart
Before the weight of the world crushes the spirit
This goes out to those great enough
For a love that never tires
I throw confetti at the parade of your simple thoughts

Follow me follow right to the bottom of the night
With my unbroken voice I will ask you to rejoice

By the time he closed his eyes
The hell of doubt set in
Pullin´ him close to the ground
He can´t sense but he can see
That he´s been spared the misery
Of tryin´ to escape
And that´s none of the crazy
You get from too much choice

Everybody´s so afraid to use the gun of common sense
But you´ll never get reformed you´re just runnin´ out of wind

When he´s bringin´ you his sorrows
You reply with irony
When your head is sayin´ one thing
And your whole life says another

Everybody´s so afraid to use the gun of common sense
But you´ll never get reformed you´re just runnin´ out of wind

My angel

Nothing goes as well together
As desire and frustration
But that really sounds like something
Out of a fortune cookie

Everybody´s so afraid to use the gun of common sense
But you´ll never get reformed you´re just runnin´ out of wind
And I know my life goes on but where are my angel wings

This goes out to the broken-hearted
To people whose shadows form prison bars
This goes out to those startin´ at zero
And the needle is goin´ the other way
Your sea is so great and the boat is so small

Follow me follow right to the bottom of the night
With my unbroken voice I will ask you to rejoice

This goes out to the young at heart
Before the weight of the world crushes the spirit
This goes out to those great enough
For a love that never tires
I throw confetti at the parade of your simple thoughts

Follow me follow right to the bottom of the night
With my unbroken voice I will ask you to rejoice

When I´m tired of my charades when the bluebird has to fly
I´m fallin´ in the cup of gloom that I drink from
Some of you I half remember and the rest I take from dreams
Promised you I would remember how good we were

When I think of you that´s all I wanna do I can´t go back
When I think of you that´s all I wanna do

This old world ain´t got no back door time is gonna take its cost
Do we really have to dig out our rhubarb
But this town is just an address a childhood place for me to live
I´m missin´ times like these more than anything

When I think of you that´s all I wanna do I can´t go back
When I think of you that´s all I wanna do
When I think of you

In these crazy times of parting and in these odd times of return
All my thoughts are gettin´ heavier by the hour

When I think of you that´s all I wanna do I can´t go home
When I think of you that´s all I wanna do

Like a fast train comin´ I can´t stop the world from turnin´ ´round
Like a phoenix risin´ I´m gonna catch that flame
Like a needle in a veign envy rots the bones
Like a diamond ring we´re gonna last forever

And that´s real yeah that´s real

Like a thought that´s chained I scream at the silence
Like a kiss on the lips I got an honest answer
Like someone to hate that won´t wash with me

Like a rose on a thornbush love will rescue me
Cos that´s real cos that´s real

Got to pick my moments before it´s much too late
Got to pick my moments before they haste away

Like faith needs a doubt I see the shadow of my truth
Like a winter sky my thougts are deep and clear

And they´re real they´re real

Got to pick my moments before it´s much too late
Got to pick my moments before they haste away

Yeah... don´t get fooled again

Got to pick your moments before it´s much too late
Got to pick your moments before they haste away

A hideaway, guitars de juré for a better day
A décolleté, a good dj is the best foreplay

Forget these slowtime mondays
Something´s gotta give
If you don´t dress up darlin´
You don´t live

I wanna have a good time
The rest is propaganda
Bad music is a true crime
I´m livin´ the weekender

A smilin´ face, a rollin´ bass for a lovin´ race
A warm embrace, a gorgeous place you can´t replace

Forget these slowtime mondays
Something´s gotta give
If you don´t mess up darlin´
You don´t live

I wanna have a good time
The rest is propaganda
Bad music is a true crime
I´m livin´ the weekender

Beat goes on

I wanna have a good time
The rest is propaganda
Bad music is a true crime
I´m lovin´ the weekender

Lovin´ the weekender

Don´t you know the beauty of your eyes
Could really shame the brightest summer skies
You´re comin´ with the sun and leave the rain
I always cannot wait to see you again

With your sweetest smile you make the whole world cry
With your sweetest smile make the whole world cry

Never say goodbye

Don´t you know the mention of your name
Is gonna drive my body insane
Not just your body but your mind I wanna do
With every breath I´m deeper into you

With your sweetest smile you make the whole world cry
With your sweetest smile make the whole world cry

Don´t you miss the roc-a-fella beat
Get together taste the body heat
never mind your two left feet

If you´re out of beat with the rest of the planet
If a great numb feeling watches over you
If you just missed a seat on the gravy train
You better dial "r" for the roc-a-fella beat

Don´t you miss the roc-a-fella beat
Get together taste the body heat
Never mind your two left feet

It´s not that easy to be free
When you´re bought and sold in the marketplace
But as long as the music´s loud enough
We ain´t gonna hear the world fallin´ apart

Don´t you miss the roc-a-fella beat
Get together taste the body heat
Never mind your two left feet

Some people say we are fair and balanced
Some people say we are as right as rain
Some people say get hypnotized by daytime tv

Some people can fuck off and go to hell
Some people are phoney like tinker bell

Some people say the trumpet of freedom has been sounded
Some people say you can wash blood with blood
Some people say a white lie´s not a real lie

Some people can fuck off and go to hell
Some people are liars and went awol

Liars

She´s a romantic up on a hill lookin´ down always disappointed
I find myself talkin´ to here when she´s not even around

Weak like a lamb that only exists to be loved or to be sacrificed
She made me jump thru´ burnin´ hoops and I miss her so much

Would you be happy or would you be sad
When you´ve lost the best girl that you never had

And all her face was honey to my mouth
All her body pasture to my eyes
There was no chance to burn to together now I burn alone

Would you be happy or would you be sad
When you´ve lost the best girl that you never had

Now the lusty spring is seen
Everywhere on every green
Let us use them while we may
Take these joys that fade away
Today I´m movin´ in my prime
My thoughts can wait they´re out of time

Start the drummin´ sound the crash
Let´s go out and burn some cash
There´s no time to wear a frown
My head´s too light to set it down
Today I´m movin´ in my prime
My thoughts can wait they´re out of time

there is comfort in playin´ lonely
when people ´round you are so phoney
they tell you all their secrets but lie about the past

take it easy that´s the way life goes

there are things I wish I´d done
with all these precious moments gone
some friends I gonna miss
soft lips I never kissed

take it easy that´s the way love goes

there´s one thing I´ll have to learn
those tears of joy are hard to earn
to get some peace of mind
I´ll listen to my heart

take it easy that´s the way I go

Like a fast train comin´ I can´t stop the world from turnin´ ´round
Like a phoenix risin´ I´m gonna catch that flame
Like a needle in a veign envy rots the bones
Like a diamond ring we´re gonna last forever

And that´s real yeah that´s real

Like a thought that´s chained I scream at the silence
Like a kiss on the lips I got an honest answer
Like someone to hate that won´t wash with me
Like a rose on a thornbush love will rescue me

Cos that´s real cos that´s real

Got to pick my moments before it´s much too late
Got to pick my moments before they haste away
Like faith needs a doubt I see the shadow of my truth
Like a winter sky my thougts are deep and clear
And they´re real they´re real
Got to pick my moments before it´s much too late
Got to pick my moments before they haste away
Yeah... don´t get fooled again

Got to pick your moments before it´s much too late
Got to pick your moments before they haste away

She´s a romantic up on a hill lookin´ down always disappointed
I find myself talkin´ to here when she´s not even around

Weak like a lamb that only exists to be loved or to be sacrificed

Would you be happy or would you be sad

In these crazy times of parting and in these odd times of return
All my thoughts are gettin´ heavier by the hour
When I think of you that´s all I wanna do I can´t go home
when I think of you that´s all I wanna do

This is my window to the world
And every minute is a different show
The sea refuses not the smallest river
If you go with the flow

So much life is ragin´ all around me
And every moment is magical
So if I´m flyin´ never shoot me down
My aim is true and radical

We are no tourists no
We are just travellers
Tourists are people who
Think about goin´ home
The moment they arrive

This is how we do it I let you know
First you get rid of all that overprotection
Let your own lack of a voice be heard
Creation comes out of imperfection

Wait until the day when you´ll find out
How excitin´ alienation can be
You can turn your whole life upside down
Picture it upon your knee

We are no tourists no
We are just travellers
Tourists are people who
Think about goin´ home
The moment they arrive

We´re goin´ rockin´and rollin´in the USA
We´re goin´ surfin´and strollin´down in West LA
We´re goin´ hostin´and toastin´down in New York City
We´re gonna see the homies boastin´ they´re so damn witty

And I sing and I sway on my way to the USA

We´re gonna burn out every disco gee ain´t that great
We´re gonna flowerpluck Frisco guess that´s forty years late
We´re gonna meet groovy fellas wherever we stay

They gonna kill us in Dallas
the American way

And I sing and I sway on my way to the USA
Rock´n Roll takes its toll gets your soul forever and a day

I wake up almost every night
I´m not sick but I guess that I´m not so satisfied
Sibling days they just ain´t no fun
And my heart is a smoking gun and nothing can be done

What´s it all about what is it all about

I say sister won´t you sing me a song
To raise heaven as we roll along this journey seems to be wrong
Everything is now goin´under
Politicians gonna steal and plunder hear the rolling thunder

What´s it all about what is it all about

No time for that rat race noise I got
No time for crankin´up my voice I got
No time for some multiple choice why should I

No time for some juvenile excess I got
No time for all that mess I got
No time for a game of chess how could I
No time for hangin´up on prediction I got

No time for seekin´an affliction I got
No time for some drug addiction why should I
No time for that overtime I got
No time for a speech sublime I got
No time for fixin´every rhyme how could I

I got all the time in the world for that open road
There´s no overkill and no overload
All the time in the world for the wind in my hair
There is no restraint and there ain´t no care

No time to get on my knees I got
No time to shake empty trees I got
No time to drugde like the bees why should I

No time to apologize I got
No time to compromise I got
No time to sacrifice how could I
I got all the time in the world for that open road
There´s no overkill and no overload
All the time in the world for the wind in my hair
There is no restraint and there ain´t no care

Remember the time all your love was in vain
Remember the time you couldn’t catch that train
Remember the time you felt so incomplete
Remember the time you fought for your defeat

And now that you´re old and you´re wise and smart
You´re just someone with half a heart
And if you consider yourself to be strong
There ain´t no right livin´in a world that went wrong

You tell me that all the clouds rolled by
You tell me that it was too hard for you to fly
You tell me that I should get thicker skin
You tell me that some day I´ll learn how to win

And now that you´re old and you´re wise and smart
You´re just someone with half a heart
And if you consider yourself to be strong
There ain´t no right livin´in a world that went wrong

Hand me my travellin´shoes I think I got the travellin´blues
You behaved just like a vandal
My precious love you couldn´t handle

So I´ll turn around and I´ll walk away
Though my breakin´heart tells me to stay

When you gave me that glance
I couldn´t stand the slightest chance
All those guys much more than friends
How could you ever make amends

So I´ll turn around and I´ll walk away
Though my breakin´heart tells me to stay

Why did you blow out the bonfires in my spine
I´ll leave the scene Miss In-between won´t you give me what´s mine

Give me my heart

She says she wants to grow stronger
He says my heart burns for you
She says she loves what she´s doin´
He says I´m bursting in two
She said what have you been doin´
He said I love how I feel
She said I need stimulation
He said your wounds gonna heal

Everyone´s having a good time
Everyone join the race

She´ll say that there´s something missing
He´ll say I hope you are fine
She´ll say I don´t want to worry
He´ll say I´m standing in line

Everyone´s having a good time
Everyone join the race

She´s a very old woman don´t get around very much
Tired and weary she picks up the newspaper
She can only read the headlines
Today her grandson will come and visit her
So she´s gonna bake his favourite cake for him
It´s hard to get out of the rockin´chair to get to the door
But that hardly ever happens

Day in, day out

When her grandson called her up and said he wouldn´t come today
She knew it would be another of these dreary old days again
And she wonders why she´s out of tears guess this river ran dry in all these years

Day in, day out

Today I fell asleep in life´s waitin´ room
I stayed in bed all day just to pass the time
What I got on TV was cartoons and old films
Guess I was only driftin´and the laughs were few

That´s allright that´s allright that´s allright with me

My nerves as raw as meat in a butcher´s window
Soon enough the sunlit days went by
I paid a high price for my random open talkin´
And some bad news came knockin´ at my gate

That´s allright that´s allright that´s allright with me

As long as as long as you still care for me

I´m in heaven when the music begins
I´m all by myself
Well I´d rather have Coltrane in my ears
Than fake beauty in my eyes

Splendid isolation I can´t get enough of it

I´m in heaven when the silence begins
I´m all by myself
Well I´d rather hear the blood in my veigns
Than taste blood in my mouth

Splendid isolation I can´t get enough of it

I take your time and ease my mind
Maybe that is much too late
But what I have to say cannot wait
Everytime I tried to tell you
All the words just came out wrong
So I will have to say it in a song

Dedicated to you dedicated to you

You´re brighter than the brightest sky
I´m darker than the deepest sea
Just pull me up give me a place to be
As I´m pouring out my heart
Your attention span is not that long
Well this is not a Robbie Williams song

Dedicated to you dedicated to you

But you´re not listening no you´re not listening
No you´re not listening to me

Something much worse than catchin´ leprosy
Is livin´ in a middle-class fantasy
Too many people cannot see what they need
Try to shift the weight of all that greed
Anorectic models credit card eyes
Ready to sell us all these lies....but

When I was returnin´ from outer space
Everything was fallin´ right in its place

I wonder how all this is gonna end
The more I watch TV the less I comprehend
Forms of crap surpassin´ wildest dreams
I cover my eyes in the X-rated scenes
Worn out actors hostage smiles
Ready to tell us all these lies....but

When I was returnin´ from outer space
Everything was fallin´ right in its place

How could this hype ever mean that much to me
A stream of changin´faces lookin´for the sea
The annual invention of some A&R head
Tryin´to raise Elvis up from the dead
Rock´n Roll monsters shakin´ thighs
Ready to yell at us all these lies....but
