Smoke
Life is so much easier
with a clean and empty mind
try to understand
why there is nothing more to find
when you turn around
there is no one down the road
except the sweet impression
of the brand she used to smoke

Nieuwe Leren
Al
draait de wereld nog zo traag
het wordt me ooit te veel
waarom heeft iedereen zo graag
het botte mes op de droge keel
te veel impulsen matten me af
elke dag een nieuwe straf
iedereen wil meer en meer
en ik verveel me keer op keer
mijn concentratie slaat op hol
ik kan me niet meer fixeren
mijn springend hersenvat staat bol
van al dat nieuwe leren
is er iemand die mij gelooft
wanneer ik roepend zwijg
dat ik rust wil in mijn hoofd
verdien ik wat ik ongevraagd krijg?
of krijg ik wat ik meen te verdienen
geen negens meer, maar enkel tienen
ik ben verleerd om te vergeten
niemand aanhoort mijn stille kreten
mijn concentratie slaat op hol
ik kan me niet meer fixeren
mijn springend hersenvat staat bol
van al dat nieuwe leren
een leeg hoofd is de grootste schat
die ik me kan permitteren
ik denk aan dit ik denk aan dat
meer impulsen dan wat ik kan klasseren
van wit naar zwart naar wit ontsteld
spring ik op mijn dambordveld
mijn eigen muren daar loop ik tegen
blindelings en ongelegen

Motorcycle From Hell
I got my bike, I got my girl
a fearsome threesome from another world
who can stop us, nobody can
because I am the motorcycle man
we drove together
we drove through heaven
we drove through hell
motorcycle from hell
if you take my girl away
I can’t live another day
same thing when my bike is gone
because I am the motorcycle man
we drove together
we drove through heaven
we drove through hell
motorcycle from hell

Asfalt
ooit
had ik het moeilijk en vaak soms ook nog kwaad
in mijn achteruitkijkspiegel zie ik wat ik achterlaat
er is geen weg terug en ik blijf maar verder gaan
in vijfde versnelling, ik verkies niet stil te staan
ik draai naar links op een parallelle baan
en overschouw de paden die ik had kunnen begaan
en dan weer naar rechts op diezelfde harde weg
en merk ik hoe geluk het altijd haalt van brute pech
gedreven door een motor die me nooit ontgooch’len
zal
haal ik ongeziene hoogtes en verlaat dit tranendal
naar de kimme waar de zon stijgt die de wolken steeds verjaagt
en dus rij ik maar verder op het asfalt van vandaag

Biseksuele rookpauze
ik
begrijp niet waarom net zoals al mijn vriendinnen
zij zo houdt van Nico maar ook zo van Tine
om
het kwartier is ze buiten haar zinnen
ze glipt dan naar buiten naar Nico en Tine
met
haar lippen zuigt ze hun warmte naar binnen
verlangen tussen de vingers naar Nico en Tine
maar
wat zou ik zonder haar moeten beginnen...
al heb ik het niet met die Nico en Tine
dit
is een gevecht dat ik toch nooit kan winnen
dus sta ik ook buiten bij Nico en Tine

Oneness
lay next to me
a free and fair spirit
in chains you will perish
in chains you will die
and i'll return
the whole world will hear it
in dreams you'll be cherished
in dreams you are mine
listen to me
i speak to your heart
in my world we'll live
in my world together
show me your face
a teardrop a start
in hell i forgive
in heaven it's better

Contradiction
she is such a contradiction
so much love, so much anger
where are dreams, where is respect
she is such a contradiction
no selfesteem but selfneglect
she is such a contradiction
she's a yes, she's a no
she's a maybe, she's a sure
she is such a contradiction
she needs a doctor, needs a cure

Andere kant
gedragen
door de wind
als een kind zonder dromen
zonder houvast is er geen ontkomen aan
de wind draait en keert
als het weer zich laat voelen
zonder de zon komt het op gevoelens aan
de tijd heelt geen wonden
als verbondenheid ontbreekt
de dageraad liegt en de zondag breekt aan
verlaten door de sterren
als van verre de merel zingt
de man slaapt vast en de vrouw dringt aan
de andere kant van de bar
|
Om te vergeten
de
fles, de vijand
de fles, mijn vriend
soms in mijn hand
of waar ik j'ook vind
troost me, geloof me
of beter, beloof me
dat 't beter zal gaan
dat vergeten zal gaan

Tears
in your smile
you're in pain
you're in sorrow
you dare not think of tomorrow
you laugh out loud
you're holding on
you need not be forever strong
i see the tears in your smile
you face the world
you cry inside
where is the agony you hide
you work until
you sleep a while
for me you shouldn't force a smile
i see the tears in your smile
|
Just one more
you're gonna
kill that girl
as you're killing her world
deep down you go and destroy it all
in a blur of boredom down you fall
into her brain
into her veins
you're controlling her mind
as you turn her blind
in a trail of disbelief it's so easy to fake
a parallel world in which nothing can make
things better
and you'll get her
and she's yours to keep
yours to embrace
into oblivion
the end of days

Geen Vriend
waarvoor
dient een vriend
die zich boven jou plaatst
en alleen aan zichzelf denkt
en aan jou pas het laatst?
wat
heb je aan een vriend
die jou ’t geluk niet meer gunt
omdat het wat afwijkt
van wat misschien had gekund?
wat
doe je met een vriend
in eenrichtingsverkeer?
stuur je hem terug
of denk je: “ ’t hoeft al niet meer”?
wat
moet je met een vriend
die je vertrouwen misbruikt
als je een ander verkiest
zodat je weer onderduikt?
verdien
je wel een vriend
die ‘t verschil niet kan zien
tussen vriendschap en liefde?
dan toch geen vriend misschien?

Rijk Van Twee
hij
klopt bij haar aan; dat doet hij zo graag
hij wil haar bezitten, het liefst nog vandaag
berekent zijn kansen op weer 'n nieuwe start
maar wat als je vriendschap met liefde verwart
totaal onbegrepen huilt hij bij haar uit
zij troost hem met woorden, een hemels geluid
maar
zodra ze in zijn armen ligt
haar mond wat open, haar ogen dicht
voelt-ie zich sterk als een dwingeland
een ware despoot in dromenland
dan is ze van hem, al was 't maar voor even
voor haar zou hij net niet zijn eigen leven geven
hij droomt hun toekomst met bloed doorlopen ogen
zijn boerenverstand had hem niets voorgelogen
"king of the world"
in zijn rijk van twee
hij is de koning en zij volgt gedwee
nog
nooit is hij zo gelukkig geweest
elke seconde een wonderlijk feest
hij laat haar niet los, hij laat haar niet gaan
hij laat haar maar slapen, het is volle maan
maar dan wordt ze wakker en wil ze naar bed
hij maakt zich kwaad als hij eruit wordt gezet
dan
klopt hij op haar, dat doet hij zo graag
hij wil haar bezitten, het liefst nog vandaag
hij vindt dat zij heeft gespeeld met zijn hart
dat is als je liefde met vriendschap verwart
totaal onbegrepen slaat hij haar neer
hij troost haar met woorden, zij hoort hem niet meer
en zodra ze opnieuw in zijn armen ligt
haar mond bebloed, haar ogen dicht
voelt-ie zich sterk als een dwingeland
een ware despoot in dromenland
dan is ze van hem, al was 't maar voor even
voor haar zou hij net niet zijn eigen leven geven
hij droomt hun toekomst met bloed doorlopen ogen
zijn boerenverstand had hem niets voorgelogen
"king of the world"
in zijn rijk van twee
hij is de koning en zij volgt gedwee

I've sinned again
On Monday I'm a married man
On Tuesday still a married man
On Wednesday I'm an angry man
On Thursday still an angry man
On Friday I'm a single man
On Saturday a single man
On Sunday I'm a different man
Oh, God knows that I've sinned again

Memory
Lane
there's a road ahead of me
drained in mist and morning dew
a road full of mysteries
festering pain and bally hoo
it's that road in twenty years
that's about to change its name
a million people interfere
and then we call it memory lane

Maar 1 toekomst
nog niet zo lang geleden
heb ik je laten staan
ik wou je laten zien dat ik bij je weg kon gaan
het was echt nog het enige dat ik nog kon doen
ik reed weg zonder uitleg maar ik denk nog steeds aan toen
ik zag je in de verte en ik kwam dichterbij
daar stond ik vlakbij jou en jij keek plots naar mij
mijn hart ging almaar sneller slaan door dicht bij jou te zijn
je wist nog steeds niet wat je wou en dat deed me zo'n pijn
ik zag het niet meer zitten
ik liet je in de kou
en ik zie maar 1 toekomst
en dat is die met jou
we zijn twee weken later en er ging geen dag voorbij
dat ik zwetend wakker werd met niemand aan mijn zij
heeft het leven nog wel zin, wat komt er na jou
een desillusie rijker want ik blijf altijd van jou
ik weet niet wat de toekomst brengt, het maakt me zo benauwd
ik hou van jou en ik weet ook dat jij nog van me houdt
wat is het leven eenzaam, wat is mijn hartje stil
verliefd zijn is een vloek voor wie er aan ontsnappen wil
ik zag het niet meer zitten
ik liet je in de kou
en ik zie maar 1 toekomst
en dat is die met jou
je kruipt stilaan naar boven uit de schaduw van weleer
ik heb je willen helpen, maar dan ging je zo tekeer
ik voel je in elke plooi van mijn getormenteerde ziel
sinds je in mijn armen lag, ja, sinds ik voor je viel
uit schrik liet ik je vallen als een dolgedraaide steen
en ik stak mijn hand uit, want alleen is maar alleen
hoe lang zou ik nog wachten of wacht jij nu op mij
tot ik weer vergeven kan, hoor ik er niet meer bij
|
mijn vlam
jij
stroomt doorheen mijn ad'ren
als een virus in mijn bloed
jij kleeft aan elke vezel
van m'n pas gewassen goed
ik wil jou uit m'n lichaam
ik wil jou uit m'n hoofd
voordat het te laat is
voor mijn vlam is uitgedoofd
alomtegenwoordig
bij alles wat ik doe
ik kan het niet verdragen
ik weet echt niet meer hoe
ik voort zal gaan zonder jou
met welk medicament
krijg ik jou uit mijn systeem
uit mijn appartement
iedere
gedachte
die ik heb is zo besmet
dat vergeten moeilijk wordt
aan tafel en in bed
't was een droom die ik verwarde
met de werkelijkheid
ik ben verslaafd aan jou, m'n vlam,
hoezeer het me ook spijt
ach,
ik neem mezelf niets kwalijk
want ik kon in jou geloven
zelfs toen het al te laat was
en mijn muze weg gevlogen
wie komt met de remedie
wie zalft m'n zielepijn
en geeft me extra zuurstof
zodat ik weer mezelf kan zijn

Same old
photograph
behold the man; he lived the life of danger
for 80 years he's remained a stranger
now he's found dead on the Walk Of Fame
lying on a star of a glorious dame
Ever since his love had gone
he didn't have one day of fun
he'd been searching all over the world
to find a track of his loving girl
behold the man; he lived among the stars
fourteen houses, fourteen cars
now he's found dead on the Walk Of Fame
lying on a star of a glorious dame
Everybody knows his name
but not his face and not his game
he saved the world, oh more than once
in every city he's got fans
behold the man; he lived a life of pity
he lost her between Prague and New York City
now he's found dead on the Walk Of Fame
lying on a star of a glorious dame
a Molly Ringwald lookalike
taken away in the middle of a fight
she cried out his illustrious name
and that's how he lost this game
behold the man, disappeared from this world
holding a photo of him and his girl
now he's found dead on the Walk Of Fame
lying on a star of a glorious dame
a sweet old lady across the street
wiped her tears, indiscreet
the same old photograph in her hand
she knew he'd never understand
behold the man who lived the life of danger
but to his love he remained a stranger
now he's found dead on the Walk Of Fame
smiling on a star of a glorious dame

Dichter bij de zon
haar vluchtige praatjes vulden een luchtballon
op weg naar een wereld ver weg van de zon
die ongenadig brandt op haar zwaarbeladen rug
van zonden, en nu is er geen weg terug
rechtlijnig drijvend naar té koele oorden
ver afgeweken door haar al te mooie woorden
die nietszeggend de ballon deden zwellen
maar ze wil graag omlaag om vragen te stellen
het antwoord volgt als een paarse parabool
gedraaid rondom zijn ziel op de dool
hij is de drakenrijder, ontvlucht uit de lies
op een laatste queeste die hij niet verkiest
van op zijn gevleugelde hengst uit de hel
volgt hij de praatjes die hem hebben gekweld
en ja, daarboven hoog in de atmosfeer
een luchtballon en die stijgt meer en meer
want zij blijft praten waarmee ze niets zegt
haar vrees om te branden wordt nu toch wel echt
onversaagd klieft de draak door de lucht
het hemelruim speurend naar de ziel op de vlucht
en steeds dichter nadert hij, zijn ziel zo kortbij
sneller dan 't geluid, de praatjes voorbij,
geraakt hij tot aan de luchtballon
met enorme proporties, zo groot als de zon
met gretige klauwen klampt hij zich vast
en ze dalen voorwaar door die extra ballast
de blaren op haar handen vertellen
meer dan wat ook zijn ziel konden kwellen
de drakenrijder is weer één geheel
en zachtjes brengt hij de ballon naar benêen
en weer tsjilpt de mus met de praatjes verstomd
en zij straalt weer hoe dichter hij komt

De mug moest weer eens plassen
op
mijn droomeiland lag ik
genietend van de laatste schittering
van de ondergaande zon
liggend in mijn hangmat van plezier
de mug deed een plasje in de zee
en nog een en nog een en
mijn eiland werd almaar kleiner
ik rolde mijn hangmat op en vlijde
me neer op het wankele palmblad
met de hangmat onder mijn arm voel
ik het water me optillen en zie ik
mijn eiland verzwolgen worden door
het plasje van de mug; doelloos
zwalpend op de oceaan der zuchten
sluit ik mijn ogen en geef me over
de wind bezorgt wel wel een nieuwe plek
waar ik mijn hangmat mag ontrollen
ik ben niet bang van de mug en die
heeft nu geen dorst meer

Wolk voor de zon(de)
ik
werp jouw dolk kaarsrecht omhoog
en vlij me neer op het gazon
de scherpe punt van jouw metaal
doorklieft mijn ziel onder de zon
toch streelt mijn lach, ik kijk omhoog
en zie jouw zilte tranen vallen
je blik gericht op mijn open hart
langsheen bloeddoorlopen wallen
ik kijk je aan, steeds recht omhoog
en zie de twijfels nu verdwijnen
als zwarte sneeuw onder de zon
en voel mijn angsten nog verkleinen
ik leid jouw hand gestaag naar boven
tot aan het heft van je eigen dolk
ik zie je plots veel minder klaar
de zon verscholen door een wolk
je trekt je dolk niet uit het gat
maar draait hem dieper in mijn hart
en dat is net wat ik verwacht had:
voor mij is dit een nieuwe start.

De Kortste Weg
de kortste weg van Morgen naar
Vandaag
ligt kronkelend met twijfels bezaaid
door haar uitgestrooid in een heel dunne laag
door haar oh zo mooi in het gras net gemaaid
de verse knopjes vakkundig afgetopt
de gedachte naar Morgen in de kiem gesmoord
de maaier van de wegen is weer eens gestopt
de rust in het dorp is weeral verstoord
de kortste weg van Morgen naar Vandaag
zou een eenrichtingsstraat moeten zijn
de weg naar Morgen betreed ik zo graag
maar het wederkeren doet me zo'n pijn
mijn schouders gekneusd door de drukte alom
de ballast op m'n rug duwt mijn voeten in 't slijk
tegen de stroom in; ik kijk achterom
naar de schoonheid van Morgen voordat ik bezwijk
do kortste weg van Morgen naar Vandaag
is open en duurt maar amper een knipoog
ik verliet 'r in Morgen om op 'n simpele vraag
het antwoord te zoeken; het zit me vrij hoog
terug in Vandaag wat verdwaasd wat verward
ziet ze me niet, maar ik haar zo klaar
flirtend met gist'ren dicht aan haar hart
en haar volle tas twijfels, die staat alweer klaar
de kortste weg van Morgen naar Vandaag
is zo kort dat de terugweg de moeite niet lijkt
dan vraag ik me af waarom ik niet meer klaag
want ik wil dat de waarheid haar gelaat bekijkt
en de zaadjes der twijfel die groeien gezwind
zowat alles verstikkend bij weinig verweer
de platgetreden weg naar Morgen vind
ik wel en stampvoetend omhels ik haar weer.

Gevonden door jou
je vond me enkele maanden
geleden en je speelde met me
ik speelde met jou
je raakte gehecht aan mij en ik aan jou
ik hield van jou en was je trouw zoals elke hond
toch was je m'n baasje niet en ik niet je hond
nee, we waren vrienden, dikke vrienden
uren knuffelen en meer... een paradijs
die intimiteit
die geborgenheid
die veiligheid
leven
je ging weg voor lange tijd
eerst was ik droef, heel droef
maar ik wist dat je terug ging komen om mij
en je kwam ook terug, maar niet meer dezelfde
je was anders
en dat was exact wat ik reeds voelde enkele dagen voor je vertrek
een hond voelt zoiets onmiddellijk als hij zich thuis voelt
nu zit ik alleen in mijn hok
ik zie je niet meer
ben je me beu of heb je een andere hond...
aan welke boom ga je hem dan hangen achteraf...
toch zal ik kwispelen wanneer je weer langskomt
ik ben tenslotte maar een hond
ik weet niet beter
ik weet wat goed was en wil dat terug
en de slechte dagen, wel, die vergeet ik gewoon
omdat ik maar een hond ben
en die blijven trouw
tot wanneer ze geschopt worden
tot wanneer ze geslagen worden
dan bijten ze en grommen ze
ik bijt nog niet
maar wil wel grommen
want ik voel me niet zo goed
je gaat met me uit
maar ik mag plots niet meer binnen
ik laat iets horen, maar jij negeert me
moet ik echt beginnen grommen...
ik voel me achtergelaten in een bos
een geweldige wandeling was dat
maar dan zonder een plezierig einde
een einde zonder antwoorden
zal iemand me hier vinden
zal jij me hier zoeken
wil ik wel gevonden worden door jou...

Battle of the blankets
in the battle of the blankets
it's the feet that always lose
no matter how you turn and twist
it's the arms that always choose
the hands are warm, the fingers closed
the upper body wants the most
and it's no use to tuck 'em in
because you know the blankets win
in the battle of the blankets
the tallest one will lose for sure
no mathematics can foretell
for cold feet, no, there ain't no cure
left side loses, right side too
problems double when there are two
and it's no use to tuck 'em in
because you know the blankets win
in the battle of the blankets
every woman starts the fight
she's always having big complaints
same old story every night
"give it back, get out of bed,
stop pulling or you are dead!"
yet it's no use to tuck 'em in
because you know the blankets win
in the battle of the blankets
they team up with every sheet
sort of intertwined in love
the blankets always have to cheat
oft too cold, too hot in summer
cold and sweaty, that's a bummer
for it's no use to tuck 'em in
because you know the blankets win

Keeper of my soul
i named you the keeper of the soul i gave to you
i hope you guard it well as it's not yours to give
away;
but you found it necessary to throw it all away
you could've been the princess i always saw in you
i don't like what you did, but i
love who you really are
you're more than boobs and fairy eyes, much more than people see
as your intellect and spirit so attractive to me;
to live my life without you was my hardest choice so far
how difficult it is for you to be the only true you
is something hard to comprehend as i cannot
understand
why you neglect the seeds already growing in your hand
why you are trying to live a life that really doesn't suit you
i will never tell a living soul about the pain
it caused me while reflecting all the miracles i
saw;
you'll never cease to amaze me; i'll always be in
awe
no matter all the energy that i had saved in vain
and yet i had to let you go; this love kills who i am
i simply had to let you go; this love kills all i got
yet i know who you are and certainly what you are
not;
it was such a silly wish to hope i'd be your man

Never trust a dream
each time she won't defend me is another scar upon my soul each time she lets him say those names the less she sees me as a whole how come she cannot value the real meaning of a word as if she has forgotten all the times that she’s been hurt she’s stolen my tranquility, my everpresent smile she’s sucked away my energy, oh yeah, that is her style but most of all i hate her for the dream that has gone bad she was just an illusion and i'll have to live with that my mind has been her playground and she got me all deluded i'll never trust a living soul and that's myself included |
The Good Guy Comes Last
the ultimate terror of watching decay is witnessing the night taking over the day through poisoned mind by wormtongue tied i want to pull her back into the light but i can't vanquish ghosts from the past in horror tales the good guy comes last cheats never prosper, they may survive a while when all good intentions become an art of guile she's flattered by demons, surrounded by ghosts how could i ever doubt whom she's loving the most 'cause i can't vanquish ghosts from the past in horror tales the good guy comes last i live in the future, my hind leg's in today each backward glance is leading me astray i can't let a nightmare take over my dream and make me the man that i've never been yet i can't vanquish ghosts from the past in horror tales the good guy comes last |

Leeg
leeg
dat ben ik
een uitgepakt cadeau dat plezier heeft gegeven
mooi om te zien, al was het maar voor even
een ledepop met lede ogen, dat ben ik
leeg
dat ben ik
een bodemloos vat dat steeds overstroomde
van geluk waarvan zelfs een junkie droomde
een high per dag, ja, dat ben ik
leeg
dat ben ik
als door een vampier vermomd uitgezogen
naïef onbeschermd gebruikt en bedrogen
mijn altijd open armen, dat ben ik
leeg
dat ben ik
wanneer mijn schaduw tot streep verwordt
liefde als dwarsligger, kruis omgord
moeilijk om dragen, maar ja, dat ben ik
leeg
dat ben ik
compleet uitgehold door loze woorden
die zelfs een dove kunnen vermoorden
de lieve luisteraar, ja, dat ben ik
leeg
dat ben ik
een draaikolk van dromen over trouw
nu windstil gewaand door 'ik hou van jou'
doorheen wolken gevallen, dat ben ik
leeg
dat ben ik
op zoek naar waarheid aan de bron
om me te laven zo vaak ik maar kon
uitgedroogd en brak, dat ben ik
leeg
dat ben ik
de koene krijger moe gestreden
een prinsenpijn da's pas geleden
verleden tijd, ja, dat ben ik
|
Bespeeld
ik schreeuw m'n liefde van de daken
jij vanonder 't laken
een muur houdt mij niet tegen
en jij draalt halverwege
ik heb jou op m'n tong
nog voor de wereld begon
jij kijkt te veel in 't rond
en draait nog liever met je kont
om alle kansen te vrijwaren
en contacten te vergaren.
ik ben van jou, jij van iedereen
op elke foto die jij deelt, daarop sta ik alleen
en wat me 't meeste stoort
is jouw virtuele poort
veilig vanachter je pc
ga jij met iedereen in zee
jij drinkt je laveloos en hoopt
dat passie daarmee wordt vergroot
en jij denkt dat dat mij bevalt
maar af en toe dan riep ik halt
jij hoort me niet, je hebt 't zo druk
je loopt zo in je ongeluk
mijn aandacht vind je niet genoeg
alsof de wereld naar je vroeg
en telkens weer kruipt je t'rug
en ben je plots niet meer zo stug
dan vind je steun al op m'n schouders
en bel je nog eens met je ouders
en alles lijkt weer koek en ei
de twijfels zijn dan weer voorbij
zo laat je mij weer in de waan
zodat je weer je gang kan gaan
op kousenvoeten liep ik rond
te hopen da'k geen leugens vond
maar ik zat er dus middenin
en dat was al van in 't begin
voor jou heb ik altijd een vuurtje
voor jou was ik maar een avontuurtje
want jij wilt constant and'ren zien
waar, denk je, ben ik dan misschien?
ik heb oh zo lang gewacht
en je leek me niet verdacht
maar plots viel alles in zijn plooi
en zat ik in je gouden kooi
de sleutel had je me zelf gegeven
en toch kan ik je dit vergeven
geef eindelijk toe maar doe dit vlug
of je ziet me nooit terug

Past
The
past is a prison with one open door
and there's no need for a key to escape
now just run away and leave
in freedom you believe
and run to me before it is too late
The past is nothing more than a wishing well
great to look at if you're standing at the top
as yesterday will not come back
there's not a single thing you lack
it's your will that can save you from the drop
The past is an addictive place to dwell in
there's a familiar face contorted by your dream
the ghost must not be followed
you'd forget there is tomorrow
there's still a million places to be seen
The past is a history book to learn from
it cannot answer every question in your head
but if you look at each mistake
when you are finally awake
you'll see the future is a better place instead

The Silhouette Of Broken Dreams
i get thinner day by day and overnight i waste away though i'm still eating all i can i'm now the disappearing man like a pupil of a cat at noon my shade is cast upon the moon i wear the willow in dismay as i get thinner day by day the statue is a statuette the silly man a silhouette i'm half the man i used to be i'm twice the boy i used to flee from as my mind is playing tricks the boy without his tindersticks now you see me now you don't will you kill me no you won't one day you'll wish to hold on to me oh sorry, i'm not who i used to be the statue is a statuette the silly man a silhouette

Everyday is Valentine
everyday is valentine
when i look upon that girl of mine
she's radiating what i crave for
what to live for, what to die for
everyday is valentine
when i taste her lips of red cherry wine
i dream of golden sand in my sandals
wine on a beach only lit by candles
everyday is valentine
when sitting in the shade of a lonesome pine
we don't have to say a single phrase
to know there are 300 valentine days

Satan's favourite
cupcake
i trust the world
the world trusts me
and there's this girl
that i must see
too credulous
i went through life
so fabulous
and sharp the knife
i don't care if they all despise me
'cause no one can look so deep inside me
but you
curiosity never killed a cat
it's paranoia that did all that
for what i've done there's one excuse
an acceptable lie for a love to lose
and you
there's no better slimming-course
than heartbreak after heartbreak
while being fed by paranoia
satan's favourite cupcake

Last Call Of The
Coyote
6.30 on a summer’s day
Still 90 in the shade
At Juan Pedro’s bar
He’s gonna meet hit fate
Today he lost his girl
To his one and only friend
He only needs a drink
As this day will never end
8.30 on a summer’s day
Still at Juan Pedro’s bar
Another drink, another fight
He knows he’s gone too far
He runs into the desert
As he cannot understand
Gotta get away from there
As far away he can
9.30 on a summer’s night
Oh what a dreadful day
The day she disappeared
The day she went away
Sitting head on his knees
How had this mess begun
More and more hating
The crazy fool he has become
10.30 on a summer’s night
The last part of the day
There’s no light in the desert
And all will fade away
He’s getting cold
No one to interfere
The call of the coyote
Is the last thing he will hear

Tequila sundown
an
open door in a hotel room
for lonely people and where were you
while you were howling to the moon
where was your girl and where were you
i need a double shot of tequila
i need a second shot of tequile
i need another shot of tequila
and just one more
the girl girl came back to the hotel room
for lonely people and where were you
while you were howling to the moon
an empty room so where were you
i want a double shot of tequila
i want a second shot of tequila
i want another shot of tequila
and just one more
no empty chair in the hotel bar
for lonely people and there was you
and dancing in the middle like a movie star
was the girl you love, just waiting for you
i got a double shot of tequila
i got a second shot of tequila
i got another shot of tequila
and this one is for you

Ginger
Satisfaction
I see the sunset and the sunrise
in the colour of your hair
I see Ayer's Rock and henna colours
when I gaze at you, oh so fair
No Martian field can amaze me more
than the complexion of your hair
on a moon lit night on a sandy beach
I am struck by its golden glare
As I overestimate my strength to
resist
I act as if I don't really care
my unlocked mind avoids your golden locks
while in my dreams they're always there
In my urge to feel Tibetan silk
I gently touch your manes I show no fear
and all the wonders of the world are in my reach
as the sun shines bright and the sky is clear

All The Boys And The Girls
all the boys and the girls of my
age
walk two by two in the crowd
all the boys and the girls of my age
know this is what love's about
always eye to eye and hand in hand
in love without fear for the next day
but I, poor soul, walk alone in the streets
yet no one loves this poor soul, no way
yesterday is like tomorrow
no whispering from my dear
no joy and so much sorrow
no "i love you" in my ear
all the boys and the girls of my age
have future at joint expense
all the boys and the girls of my age
know that "i love you" makes sense
always eye to eye...
every day and every night
are no difference to me
no joy and so much sorrow
when will the sun shine for me?
all the boys and the girls of my age
know 'bout love, but i don't
like all the boys and the girls of my age
i'm wondering when love shall come
when eye to eye and hand in hand
so happy and i would have no fear
my soul wouldn't hurt no more
the day i may call you my dear

Steps
with every step i'm a little bit older
with every step it's a little bit colder
i think i'm gonna stay
as i don't know what to say
cos with every step
i'm getting further away from you
with every step i don't wanna try
with every step the end is getting nigh
i think i'm gonna stay
as i don't know what to say
cos with every step
i'm getting further away from you
with every step i'm losing tracks
with every step i wanna
go back
i think i'm gonna stay
as i don't know what to say
cos with every step
i'm getting further away from you

Piccadilly bound
Fear and fascination
fashion alienation
dream on
the 60s gone
watch 'em hangin' 'round
Piccadilly bound
almost half a century passed
style came first, I came last
Too young, too shy
I wonder why
I had fear and fascination
for this fashion alienation
the 80s there!
the 60s where?
watch 'em hangin' 'round
Piccadilly bound
violent colours
femmes fatales
from Andy Warhol
to Chagall
dandelion sky
in a bed of lillies
I wish I were born
on Piccadilly

Calypso Love (Drink my rum)
cocoanut woman
drink my rum
and let's go back
to when time's begun
i'll be your adam
and you my eve
and i'll make sure
you will never ever leave
cocoanut woman

it's home made brew
so let's get drunk
when you drink with me
you won't regret
to wake up in a hammock
and no longer in a bed
cocoanut woman
drink my rum
you'll be my moon
and i'll be your sun
an eclipse every night
an eclipse every day
as i wish upon a star
this day will never fade away
cocoanut woman

don't be afraid
and sing along my song
about calypso love
in paradise
turquoise waves
under burgundy skies
drink my rum
and let's get drunk
cocoanut woman
in this paradise of fun

Reasons
i watch the sun go down
in a far away land
on the top of a mountain of joy
i look to the east
to the borders of the land
and i look upon the days i
was a boy
i look to the south
and i try to understand
why the bad days are slower than the good
i look to the north
beyond the borders of the land
and i realize i never
understood
why there's no reason
no real reason
for everything that will ever be
the only that that really counts
is now and you and me
i watch the sun go down
in a far away land
sitting near the bluest mountain lake
i look to the west
and i see myself a man
who wants to live a life without mistake
i look to the east again
and it is getting dark again
my childhood days have made me strong
i watch the sun go down
knowing it will rise again
to wipe away the bad things gone wrong
'cause there's no reason
no real reason
for everything that will ever be
the only thing that really counts
is now and you and me
|
|
I might hear you
talk
to me
even when i'm not around
i might hear you
in the wind, in any sound
that makes me feel so fine
whisper your thoughts
even when i'm sleeping
i might hear you
in a dream, under a wheeping
willow caressing my mind
talk to me
even when you're all alone
i might hear you
and i'll pick up the phone
and you'll know all is fine

Late at night
dainty
is the gesture
and luxurious the pain
many times so flawless
as the loss becomes the gain
notwithstanding it was late
't gebaar is zo gracieus
als de weelderige pijn
net zo smetteloos de tijd
is 't verlies een winstdomein
al is het nog zo laat
tomorrow is another day
another life another game
neverending stories
in the middle of a name
are you ready
demain est un autre jour
autre vie, autre jeu
mais ça n'termine jamais
au milieu d'un nom
n'es-tu pas prêt

A king and a boy
everybody
loves my baby
she's all mine and that ain't bad
she ain't just anybody's baby
as all can see and witness that
everytime i see my baby
close to me as passion's burning
so strong a man it drives me crazy
in my mind and in my yearning
everybody wants my baby
she's got only eyes for me
it blurs my mind sometimes and maybe
i'm so blind i cannot see
everybody loves my baby
i shouldn't blame those men for that
she sticks to me like passion's gravy
she's the best i ever had
everytime i see my baby
i'm a king and i'm a boy
so what if life is getting crazy
i can laugh i can enjoy
everybody wants my baby
i shouldn't worry not at all
like the vagabond and his fair lady
our names are written on the wall

oldest story in the book
i can't remove the pillow-case she slept upon
it's lying on the corner of my bed
and yet i hate her so profoundly because
she's been sleeping with someone else instead
for half a year she's lied at me
as if i were naive enough
to believe that i wouldn't find out
for half a year she's cried for me
"oh you're the one i'm thinking of"
but if it wouldn't work, it'd be my fault
still i can't remove the pillow-case she slept upon
it's still lying on the corner of my bed
when i wake up with my head upon that pillow
i get drunk and dizzy as i
scent her sweat
for half a year i've been used
in a way no one should ever feel
it's the oldest story in the book
for half a year i've felt accused
for not being able to kneel
down at an altar on a crook
i can't remove the pillow-case she slept upon
it's lying on the corner of my bed
i hate myself for this uncontrollable urge
and all the crazy things inside my head
for half a year ago till now
it was like a fairy tale
too good to be true on both sides
for half a year ago it has
begun to fester, but i failed
to connect all the dots and the signs
i was sleeping in a dream
but i woke up in a nightmare
|

can't get her out of my
mind
i see her when i wake up
and when i go to bed
even in my dreams she's there
my private internet
i hear her on the radio
in each and every song
sometimes it is a whisper
and sometimes it is too strong
no matter how hard i try
i can't get her out of my mind
can't get her out of my mind
can't get her out of my mind
i really can't get her out of my mind
i smell her in the garden
lavender and thyme
no matter if i have a cold
i smell her all the time
no matter how hard i try
i can't get her out of my mind
can't get her out of my mind
can't get her out of my mind
i really can't get her out of my mind
but still i cannot touch her
although she's very close
always out of reach
oh yes she's one of those

you'll be the first to
know
one day i'll leave this planet; i'll
go cruisin' to the stars
my mind is my own space ship that's been built on planet mars
no one understands me when i talk about my thoughts
i think von daniken knew
astronauts were gods
one day day my trip will take me far away from all
that jazz
to understand the future i must leave behind my
past
today i'm called a dreamer but in one hundred years
they all will have to recognize that future interferes
i'm packed but not yet ready to go
you'll be the first to know
the hardest part in leaving earth is leaving my true love
i don't know when i'll
have the guts to say "i'm taking off"
i'm living in the future when all is said and done
you are the only reason why i'm not already gone

cold
everytime before the lights go out i take a good look everywhere
and everytime before i
lift the blankets i realise
you're still over there
every night i sleep alone in my own heaven dreaming
of your being here
and every morning i wake up alone, all naked, cold
because you ain't here
my bed's too cold without you
too cold when you're away
don't want to sleep alone no more
i want you here to stay
cuz every morning i wake
up alone
all naked, cold, every day

hipsville (let's go to)
my girl and i
at first we were shy
we only kissed on the lips
i did not know her
didn't want to show her
i was looking at the center of her hips
just swing your hips
around my fingertips
let's go to hipsville
turned on the radio
hipsville was the show
we went wild to every song
we got undressed
by looks impressed
we shook our hips all night long

mirror man
the mirror man is always sad and serious
he's never full of joy and never furious
i always say hi, but silence is his word
why does he look as if he's always hurt
sympathy for that guy sounds really silly
always dressed up cool like rockabilly
i like him a lot but i
can't really see
why he always tries so hard to copy me
don't cry for me mirror man
i'm not as sad as you might think
don't try this over and over again
please mirror man, sing
as far as i can see he's rather handsome
and still he looks so shy and lonesome
we could be friends and i wonder why
i see a tear and he looks me in the eye

intense
i have been on my own since the age of twelve
i could not be told i
only listened to myself
i lost my faith i lost my
trust i threw away a lot
i didn't need no mum or dad, no teacher and no god
a rebel i have never been i
think i was too smart
i never gave away my hope as i
did with my heart
years have passed and finally i've found someone
who can
listen to my aching heart and wants to understand
she listens to her mum and dad although she's 24
boy, if they knew she'd been with me and what she did before
when so-called security becomes an iron fence
there's little opportunity for love so intense

first ticket to the moon
it was my
first ticket to the moon
it didn't come too late and it didn't come too soon
at first i feared i
wouldn't be prepared
but now i'm glad that i've
been over there
it was unlike anything else
i've ever done before
there were flashes, there were bells
oh, wow, there was so much more
than i thought i could
ever comprehend
but now that i know i can
understand
what all the hustle was about
i've been to outerspace
and it was far out
it was my first ticket to the moon
it didn't come to late and it didn't come too soon
at first i feared i
wasn't prepared
but now i'm glad that i've
been over there

magnet to my thoughts
i go to bed and i think
of you
i get up and i think of
you
in my dreams i see your face
all the nights and all the days
you're like a magnet to my thoughts
dream or nightmare all the same
it's like i've known you all the time
if you wouldn't exist, i'd given you a name
you'd be surprised of these thoughts of mine
it's eerie to listen to your inner voice
to listen to your fears, to your joys
you've said things i've written to myself
years ago as it happened to yourself
you're like a magnet to my thoughts
you know me better than i know myself it seems
but you don't seem to realise
perhaps we share these inner thoughts in our dreams
't may even happen in front of our eyes

baby vampire
i'm a baby vampire only 30 years of age
i've been locked up for years and now i left behind my cage
on each moon lit night dwelling through deserted streets
i need virgin blood to be spilled on my sheets
i'm a baby vampire i'm
dead but what the heck
when i find a virgin girl i'll
kiss her in the neck
she'll be another vampire night life will be awaiting
she must find a virgin boy 'cuz there's no time for
dating
bad bat girl - bite me again
i'm a baby vampire i know
i cannot die
i'll always be a young boy and you know i cannot lie
when i'm looking for a girl to satisfy my thirst
i think of the bat girl who has bitten me at first
bad bat girl - bit me again

daddy dear
i have a mum, a new dad too
a brother and a sister and a cat
now i don't know what to do
thinking all the time of my real dad
after seven years he has found
a brand new love for my dad
she's got a daughter of her own
and where's my place in all that
i've been crying all night long
and i no longer know what to do
i want to be happy and to be strong
and i want him to be happy too
is jealousy making me feel so bad
because they can see him more than i
i want to spend more time with my dad
but maybe that will make my mummy cry
daddy i'm still your little girl
don't you forget about me
i still need you daddy dear
do you still need me
i'm alone but not alone
it's hard for me to explain
at my dad it's not my home
inbetween seven years of pain
and he's got a family now
and her daughter's got a new dad
i want to tell him; don't know how
afraid it'll make him sad

cannibal love
i bite your neck, i chew
your lips
i nibble on your fingertips
i gnaw on your nipples and all of a sudden
my tongue's playing with your button
i wanna eat you for
breakfast and lunch all day long
i'm fond of the forbidden taste of you on my tongue
is this what they call
cannibal love
i drink your juices, i
cook your blood
you're so spicy, you're so hot
i don't like meat, but i
sure love flesh
especially when it's young and fresh
i wanna eat you morning,
noon and night
i lick, chew, suck, nibble and bite
is this what they call
cannibal love
i split your smooth body in half
i feel the softness of your calf
and the succulence of your inner thighs
up to the center of paradise
for me it's such a punishment
not having you for nourishment
is this what they call
cannibal love

michael
a champ like him shows no stress
just the biggest smile in any kinda mess
but hey, after his final whistle
he will make everybody listen
to a tale of records and all that jazz
what he has found, wherever he was
oh boy, he loves red and white
for hair and skin, with all his might
steel balls fondling in his hand
three pairs rolling in the sand
and under the golden pelican sun
he yells "New York, here I come!"
doing the manhattan mambo with lady day
near the wonder wheel on thanksgiving day
listening to louis with his prima donna
it's easy to find him if you wanna
next to his beer you'll see a dozen more
cos good ol' mikey has... friends galore

eyes never lie
whenever i look into your dark brown eyes
i wish i could read your
mind
you're asking me questions with your frightened eyes
an answer is what you try to find
i feel the agony i feel
your pain
can you feel mine too
how much longer can one stand the strain
because of a simple "i love you"
when love rules eyes never lie
what do you see when you look into my eyes
am i an open book
my eyes are the mirrors of my love inside
i hope you don't overlook
a deep look into a person's eyes
can tell more than a thousand words
afraid of the answers you might find
understanding that truth hurts

pretending
for a while i close eyes and i
pretend that she's still here
i imagine it's her breath each time the wind blows
in my ear
i enjoy this recollection and the early sun is warm
i raise my left hand and i
feel the leaves caress my arm
the sweetness of the morning dew dropping on my salty face
will chase away the bitterness because of our parted ways
for a while i close my eyes and i
pretend i'm over there
i smell her blossom toes i
guess we were a perfect pair
for me she was the perfect girl she thought i was
the perfect man
i kiss her neck and hold her close never to let go
again
she was taken away from me in a way i just can't
comprehend
and now it's back to a sorry life of dreaming and let's pretend
|
soul mate
i want to be the shoulder you can cry on
i can carry a lot of weight
i want to be the punchball
you can hit
when you're full of doubt and hate
i can be your doctor or your lover
i can be the early morning sun
if you need me for healing or for loving
if you need a little trust or fun
i'm your soul mate
i want to be the one who wipes your tears
my lips can be your handkerchief
i want to be your personal headphone
who gives music instead of pain and grief
i can be your coach, can be your teacher
i can be whatever comes in mind
i'll guide you through the maze of life
unless there's someone else you'd like to find

stripper for the rest of
my life
I’ve got a delicate complexion and quite a pretty face
I move my neverending legs in too mysterious ways
Every wallet opens when I’m showing my legs
to desperate men with a million travellers’ cheques
They pay my bills, they ain’t my leisure
in this neon light world of pain and pleasure
As long as I don’t want to work from 9 to 5
I know I’ll be a stripper for the rest of my life
My friends think I’m a waitress in a cocktail bar
Others think I’m waiting to become a famous star
What if they would see me dancing in my underpants
Would they still be friends or is this where friendship ends?
That’s why I don’t tell and hide my smile in tears
Yet I know I cannot do this for another seven years
Is it ‘cause I don’t want to be nobody’s wife
that I’ll be a stripper for the rest of my life
My best friend is my cat and a stripper of my age
She’s the only one allowed to touch me on stage
While turning ‘round the pole and turning on the guys
I don’t feel alright because I live a life of lies
Sometimes I’m really hurt and I could use a strong shoulder
Although I won’t grow up I still feel I’m getting older
I’m afraid I’ll be a stripper for the rest of my life
So afraid I’ll be a stripper for the rest of my life

quiff from outer space
setzer is a sissy
such a prissy missy
no more boppin', mr.
stiff
a mirror as a friend
who'll betray him in the end
like dorian gray and his quiff
his gretsch feels uncanny
and his quiff is like his fanny
fragile and hurt too often
always losin' his voice
always bruisin' the toys
for his wigs already in his coffin
brian brian
what is that on your head
is it still alive
and can it still be fed
brian brian
what's hanging down your face
is it really yours
or just a quiff from outer space

i'm going to tiki's tonight
a second bottle of bacardi rhum
a cocktail waitress and a bongo drum
that is paradise to me
tequila sunrise, sound of the sea
friends under a coconut tree
that is paradise to me
hello honey, i'm going to tiki's
tonight
passing out on a bamboo chair
happy faces everywhere
that is paradise to me
a jungle combo on stage
lotsa girls like bettie
page
that is paradise to me
hello honey, i'm going to tiki's

island in the city
for the very first time in my whole life
i want to live on a tropical island far away
and i don't care what people think of me
i wanna be there with you
all night and day
never before i've felt what i'm
feeling now
most people say that i must be insane
i'd be able to give up everything
and go away with you; when is the first plane
on an island in the sun
in the middle of L.A.
i've reserved a place for you
a place for you to stay
whenever you come across my mind
i feel the breeze of the palm trees above my head
i smell the salty air on our beach
and i don't want to share this with someone else
instead
maybe i am running from reality
but i know so very well why i
am running to you
is this a nightmare or just a crazy dream
in which all is possible not matter what i do

weekend demons
it takes about half an hour to get out of my lazy bed
i reach out for the light switch as i get dizzy in the head
i stumble to the bath room, smack my head against
the door
all i can see are stars and then i'm lying on the floor
it never shows at work on monday i'm a total mess
it takes about an hour or so to get completely dressed
thank god i only got black socks so i can never err
the recollection of past days always is a blur
the weekend demons try to kill me, starting friday
night
when i'm on the loose, on the booze 'til morning
light
i avoid their greedy hands although they look me in
the eye
every single monday morning i
believe i cannot die
i always try not to take a girl back to my place
cuz when we wake up in the afternoon i gotta look upon her face
i never seem to able to remember the girl's name
and when she sees me that we're undressed, she often is ashamed
the weekend demons try to kill me, starting friday
night
when i'm on the loose, on the booze 'til morning
light
i avoid their greedy hands although they look me in
the eye
every single morning i believe i
cannot die
|
back on the track
i cry i cry and then i laugh a bit
and then i cry some more for the fun of it
at least that's what you think you see
you don't know anything 'bout me
'bout the way i think the way i
work
i'm so fragile i'm easily
hurt
and maybe
just maybe you will understand
some day
i'm a party animal with tears in my soul
the dancefloor's hot and you're all so cool
i'm a victim of my everlasting smile
as if pierrot's taken over my life
i may be small but not small enough
to disappear and get away from love
and maybe
just maybe i can get away
some day
i need my life i need my
space
to take off my mask and see my face
as the mirror kicks me i wonder why
i'm so hard to myself although i
try
to get back to the life i had
i realise now that it
wasn't that bad
and maybe
just maybe i can get it back
some day
yes maybe
just maybe i'm back on the track

hotel room
nights in black velvet
a touch in the dark
in the ebony room
of tinseltown park
i am not alone
as three is a crowd
but who is who
when the lights are out
wrapped up in joy
body heat
shivers all over
from head to feet
a fluid body box
full of moans
a phallic dream dance
of skin and bones
black velvet morning
curtains are closed
i am not alone
i suppose

identity
i ain't hip
i ain't rich
i ain't hot
and music's all i got
i ain't no hunk
i ain't no drunk
i ain't wild
cuz that ain't my style
but i am me
and i ain't you
so stop telling me
what i should do
i ain't tall
ain't got no tan
i ain't strong
and i party all night long
oh, i am me
and i ain't you
so stop telling me
what i should do

Love is blue
yellow
words
in a burgundy sky
but one is blue and
that is the lie
the red sarcasm
of the sunset now
is a result of
what we cannot allow
the blue one is
a four-letter word
it starts as hope
and it ends as hurt
so be aware when
green occurs
'cos then you'll know
things can't get worse
once words were white and clear
wrong colours give you fear
|
I'm a love bomb
use
me take me
i'm longing for love
please abuse me
i can't get enough
too much energy
my mind's exploding
hold me close as
i cannot run away
hold me closer
hold me tight
i give you love when i
give you light
desperate restless
i want you now
can you help me
as i don't know how
i got too much love to give

The manipulator
tall
'n' slim
a devil's grin
the boss in his own world
manipulating
copulating
his best friend's girl
irresponsible
dispensable
a garbage can in flesh
who'll tell a lie
and wonder why
who's causing him this mess
find a friend
betray a friend
as many times it fits
he's the manipulator
the manipulator

Unspoken
we
all have our little unspoken truths
unspoken pains and unspoken hurts
we all die a little by unspoken wishes
unspoken dreams and unspoken words
but how can we cope with unspoken blues
unspoken thoughts and unspoken lies
that are being fed by unspoken vows
unspoken needs and unspoken cries
we all have our little unspoken prayers
unspoken laughs and unspoken pleasures
we can lose ourselves by unspoken business
unspoken joys and unspoken treasures
we learn how to cope with unspoken angels
unspoken demons and unspoken friends
how to overcome all those unspoken losses
unspoken griefs and unspoken ends

Everybody likes me
everybody
likes me
nobody loves me
they all tear out pieces out of my heart
everybody likes me
nobody loves me
they take away pieces, one day i'll fall apart
everybody likes me
nobody loves me
i give and i give and they
take and they take
everybody likes me
nobody loves me
until nothing can hold me and then i'm gonna break
everybody likes me
nobody loves me
who the fuck is gonna pick up the pieces
everybody likes me
nobody loves me
they're looking at me but nobody sees me
everybody likes me
nobody loves me
will i be missed when they have no one to talk to
everybody likes me
nobody loves me
...sorry lady, but this line's been disconnected...

That beautiful river
i know where my future lies
when i'm looking deep inside my soul
and deep inside my heart
i know where my future lies
it's that beautiful river
that is keeping us apart
i know where my future lies
leaving my home will be
the one and only way
i know where my future lies
from that beautiful river
it is not so far away
i know where my future lies
at the end of the tunnel
there's an unexpected light
i know where my future lies
oh that beautiful river
you are on the other side

know her is to love her
i'm glad most people don't
know her the way i do
the way i only can
the more i get to know her
the easier it gets
to love her unconditionally
against all odds and bets
to
know her is to love her
it's sad most people can't
understand the reason why
she loves me as i am
the more i get to know her
the easier it is
to love her unconditionally
to love her as she is

Throughout the years
throughout
the years i gave away
my heart more often than i should
and everytime i snatched
it back
because it didn't feel so good
throughout
the years i simply failed
to give away my burnin' soul
now you're the first one who can show me
how to see love as a whole
throughout
the years i never met
a woman quite like you before
you've got this strange effect on me
you leave me wanting for even more
throughout
the years i gave up hope
to find someone as fine as you
you'll be the first one that will hear
me say "here is my soul for you"

Day ting ting
ting
my
very last thought if i'd die tonight
will be about you and how i lost the fight
if i'd die tonight my very last word
will be your name, i know it'll hurt
if tonight's that night i hope you understand
why i spent my last dime
see my outstretched hand
it's a silver and a golden ring
my old heart goes ting ting ting
if i'd die tonight my very last smile
will be for you, it'll last a while
the very last face that my mind will see
will be yours full of tears watching over me
if i'd die tonight the very last sunshine
will be cast on you, you're mine all mine
you are my everything
my old heart goes ting ting ting
ting ting ting will come one day
for you i'd give my soul away
i'd die for you all over again
oh yes i would oh yes i
would
for you i'll live my life again
oh yes i would oh yes i
would

as i watch the sky i can see the
signs
in the clouds
'round the sun; it's uncompromising
and i listen to the birds as they sing their final song
in the
trees chanting to the elven moon rising
i hear your
name in every song they're singing
i feel your
presence in the happiness they're bringing
you're a
child of the moon, a daughter of the night
with the
sun in your hair and in your eyes a light
i see your
face in every cloud when i'm in bed
i smell
your tears in the raindrops falling on my head
you're a
child of the moon, a daughter of the night
with the
sun in your hair and in your eyes a light
as i climb a tree to get closer to you
i can reach
out and touch and i grab your hand
wherever
you go, whatever you do
there's
only one thing i hope to understand
why i hear your name in every word
why i listen to the song of every bird
you're a
child of the moon, a daughter of the night
with the
sun in your hair and in your eyes a light
whatever
you do, whatever you say
it doesn't
change even if you can't stay
you're a
child of the moon, a daughter of the night
with the
sun in your hair and in your eyes a light

Vanity
i'm messing up my
sanity
all for the cause of vanity
don't wanna be 18 no more
in a body of 44
i'm spending future's energy
at light speed and it's killing me
a walkin' talkin' zombie
clown
who's always there and goes around
accepting every invitation
from party one into sedation
the weekend's over before it's begun
i can remember only half of the fun
i live my life as fast as i
can
'cause that makes me feel like a man
i listen to my friends' advice
to their stories and to their lies
i'm messing up my sanity
all for the cause of vanity

Dancing with demons
in
hell i met my demons, in hell was where we met
on day 1 we were strangers; day 2 was spent in bed
we travelled through the galaxy of broken dreams and so-called friends
until there was a vortex circling 'round those grasping hands
together we escaped by holding on and i believed
that we were saved forever, oh boy i was relieved
fortune showed its wicked game as she, again, was mine
paranoid by nature, magnificent by design
then the demons called her name, hell, why did she comply
in the easiest of faithless ways to run away and try
to push away the love she had, to welter in the past
for lovin' a ghost's hopeless as it can never last
then i looked into the mirror and disliked my own
reflection
of what i had become in exchange for some affection
i left behind my demons while she embraced them all
she couldn't live without them, she won't resist the call
i call her name with every single heartbeat, every
breath
to call her back to me, it is my destiny till death
can she hear me calling, can she feel my silent yearning
as she's dancing 'round the demons and her confused mind's burning
will she hear my call while she's dancing all alone
half eaten away by demons, can she find her way back home

Someone better
I
don't want someone better
I don't want someone new
the only girl in the whole wide
world is no one else but you
I gave away my soul
I gave away my heart
You can put me back together
without you I fall apart
You can make me happy
You can make me sad
You're the best and you're the worst
of all the girls I've had
I don't want someone better
I don't want someone new
the only girl in the whole wide
world is no one else but you

Blink
girl,
you make me so angry
so angry i would smash my guitar
so angry 'cause i don't know where you are
why can you make me so angry
girl,
you make me so fucked up
so fucked up i do crazy things
so fucked up 'cause the phone didn't ring
why can you make me so fucked up
girl,
you make so restless
so restless i can't sleep at all
so restless 'cause you never call
why can you make me so restless
and
all of this disappears in a blink
when i hear you, when i
see you,
'cause maybe i still love you
love you more than anything

Entangled trees
the tares among the wheat were
once the men that wouldn't learn
as the bad man woke up down to earth,
the mushroom and the fern
and the gods were so angry,
that they ended mankind
nobody was killed though,
something else was on their minds
the oak tree in the middle
of the forest was this guy
who loved his girl unconditionally
and his branches reached for the sky
entangled though by a thousand twigs
of a beech tree shiny green
his girl was given back to him
and the gods loved this fairy scene
and the gods were no more angry
for their ending of mankind
nobody was killed though,
something else was on their minds
it was a transformation,
for the good and for the bad

Her DNA inside my brain
should
i stay or should i leave
or should i blame the human race
should i wonder or believe
when she looked me in the face
should i yell or should i
weep
and should i laugh or should i
fight
should i love or hate that creep
or close my eyes, oh god, i tried
should i listen to each sound
or should i hate the guts i
lack
should i live on, turn around
and don't look back and don't look back
all these questions in my mind
are driving me insane insane
she played with me, boy i was blind
i was the prince in her own game
everything gets even worse
when lured into her open legs
emotion killer dressed in furs
a praying mantis never begs
a scarlet terror to all men
while playing with their sorry souls
intoxicated now and then
there ain't no gun that leaves no holes
should i care and help and pity
and talk to her or to the world
big disgrace for my fave city
how could i love this silly girl
all these questions in my mind
are driving me insane insane
deep within one day i'll find
her dna inside my brain
one day i'll find her dna
inside my brain inside my brain

Never enough
There
was this one girl he really really loved
She was just too good to be true
He conquered the world; it never was enough
Always some more things to do
She was a maniac-maniac-maniac-maniac-maniac
He loved her to death
Paranoia won and she won him too
He did all she ever asked for
How had this begun? What'd he gotten into?
Her own private task force
She was a maniac-maniac-maniac-maniac-maniac
He loved her to death
If the bad weren't killed, the good guys were
He would even kill his mum
He was not thrilled when he shot her
She shouldn't've said he was dumb
She was a maniac-maniac-maniac-maniac-maniac
And now she's dead
