Summer Rain

Summer Rain


World without a breeze
Heartbeat of the heat above the harbour
Lazy day lies dazed upon the shelf
Atomic lizards lick at the blaze of the light that is forever
No move in the solid skies
No gleaming metal out of the breathtaking blue
My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play
Whoever breaks the seven seals and lets the angry angels free
I do not know
Just waiting here
For summer rain
For summer rain
Or anything else
Prophet hold your head up
Into a cluster of bees and listen
"Love of my life
Here is our honey
Yes, we can change the world, together"
And if we're still invited to walk in this party
I'd go for a saucerful of secrets or more
But the last thing I heard of was that GOD had left the lines
For a brand new universe
HE was supposed to say
My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play
Whoever breaks the seven seals and lets the angry angels free
I do not care just waiting over there
For summer rain
For summer rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
Cool rain

Romeos

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

Afternoons in Utopia

Afternoons in Utopia


Acrobats & Comets are floating by so fast
Children's faces S.M.I2.L.E., like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here
You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia
Mighty Maomoondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for Easter Time on Mars
Paint your hats and shoes with flowers and with stars
Singing in Metropolitan Operas
You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia

Pandora's Lullaby

Pandora's Lullaby


So you hugged the globe
Now it's whirling too fast
I really got no hope to hang on to the past
The train has departed, the toxins have started
To announce that none will last

I cower in the gutter of a world that's not so near
And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air
The words unspoken, the promises broken
And the ones who really care

I'm the watcher of the scene
I see our shadows on the screen
And when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee
I stop to breathe for a while
Maybe it was me

This is the world gliding by
Like the driftwood beams
On a lifetime's stream
The instant fundamental sky for Pandora's lullaby

I see distorted faces coined like gold
And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told
A watermark against a spark
Umbrellas that they hold

I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by
An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky
But I just sit and wonder a bit that they never wonder why

20th Century

20th Century

In the beginning
There was no light
No teenage heaven or hell
No songs or voices came from across the outlands
Where oceans were ment to be, where oceans were ment to be

Oh my god, i feel so alone
Some million lightyears far from home
How about you who are living in the 20th century
Carol

You better stop to get the tickets for the starlite show
Everybody wants to be there
What a dream
So if you don't mind, will you join me
On my way through the eye
Up to the light
Into the world

Ain't It Strange

Ain't It Strange

Ain't it strange that we destroy
What we embrace
And we leave
What we seek
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange that we smile
When we cry
And no one knows why we are here
And where we going to
Ain't it strange

We could be, we could be so good together

Ain't it strange that we share what we hate
That we break what we love
It's such a shame
Ain't it strange when we pray, we betray anyway
And no one knows what we are for
Why we're so tough
When we're so fragile
Ain't it strange

Ain't it strange, still we could fall into a dream, i'd wish no one
Will catch that fall
For we could fall for love, life is but a dream, life is but a dream
All the tears in the world not in vain for the pain is gone, the
Shame is washed away
When we're all one, life is but a dream, life is but a dream

It's hard to believe after thousands of years
The world is still drowning in blood and tears
We've been quite advanced but again we fail
It is dog eats dog on the ratrace trail
It is getting too much and we're getting nowhere
While hatred and fear is all that we share
I can't take it no more when i'm watching the news
We must stick together or we're bound to lose

All In The Golden Afternoon

All In The Golden Afternoon

All in the golden afternoon full leisurely we glide
For both our oars, with little skill, by little arms are plied
While little hands make vain pretence our wanderings to guide

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

Anon, to sudden silence won, in fancy they persue
The dream child moving through a land of wonders wild and new
In friendly chat with bird or beast- and half believe it true

And ever as the story drained the wells of fancy dry
And faintly strove that weary one to put the subject by
The next time. it is next time the happy voices cry

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

And I Wonder

And I Wonder

I'm going out, i don't know why, there's no need at all
A kind of turbulence outside and i can't resist the call
I hear a siren, i might be late, fire flickers on a barricade
A piece of smack melts in my brain as i watch the police deploy
And i wonder

Did not expect to meet you here in the middle of the fights
I should have known, you got it all, you wanna burn tonight
Out in the riots you looked somehow devine
You gotta kill a cop sometime
A random motion that's what you are, these days are so bizarre

And i wonder to see your face in a place like this
Reflecting the flames

You see the market there across the square
It's closing time but all the doors are broken
Why don't we step inside, it's free for everyone, you see
It's paradise, well alright

And i wonder to see your face in a place like this
Reflecting the flames

Anyway

Anyway

Welcome
Or should i say goodbye
It's a question how close we are apart
Are you going back home after this show
Or leaving for the wild
And when you passing the wardrobe
What will you take
Your worn out hat of hopes
Or someone else's attractive furs to make it through
The playgrounds of your life

All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
All the pieces came together
Finally
But not too late
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that i'm not there
Make your choice
I love you anyway
Just make your choice
Pretend that i'm not there
All the world is gone
All the world is gone
Just take it
Just take it
And you'll make it
Alright, yeah
Ride on
Ride on

Apollo

Apollo

Show me a place that ain't hell, if there's space, give me room to breathe
That's all that i need for this body can't fail
And if music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it
Let it all out, please let me out of here

And i shall rise from the ashes
Grow like a rose from the ruins
There must be light in the darkness
Hope at the end of the night
Yes, i've been tryin' all my life to get to heaven
But awoke in the eye of the storm
But i shall rise from the ashes, grow from the ruins and return
Back home

This is a call from the gaols coming up to the prisoners of pleasure
Drunk on the blood of the next generations
And i've been through many strange confusions, splitting myself into to many faces
Now the mirror is broken, i can see the worms behind

You may well have your ways of triumph, you may well have your ways of truth
Just gimme some room to breathe, that's all that i need
Me and my strange friends
We all belong to the grand astral body
(take my hand and i take you out of here)
And there's you behind those legendary curtains
Take my hand before you wither in the crowd
And i take you out of here

This is the end of the show, i don't know was i wrong was i right
Oh love, i don't know, i wasn't perfect for sure
But now i feel like a new born baby, lying in the dew of the morning
Laughing at the sky like a brave new apollo
