"The Switch"

"The Switch"



So when all things come to an end
Deadly switches all close at hand
Make your dreams and duties mingle
Laws and morals are finally bend
Holy switch, will you defend

Switching all the time
Switching ain't no crime
Gotta change the climate
Gotta raise my rate
You see a boy in motion
Is never much too late

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it
You can start a new episode

Warm love can costume hatred
And the truth could be a lie
Yes a man can switch to a lady
Of indiscrete last goodbyes
And a blade can switch behind you
When you expect shells from the sky
Oh you go when it's your time

Switching down the line
Switching ain't no crime
Gotta change the climate
Gotta raise my rate
You see a boy in motion
Is never much too late

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it
You can start a new episode

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it
You can start a new episode

Switching's easy
Oh it's essential and you know
When you flick it

"The Thief"

"The Thief"



The Thief is in the parking lot
The thief is at your door
The thief, he leaves the broken glass
While you been scrapin' dollars
Just to pay high rent
He comes a-prowlin' in the dead of night

La la la la la la la la la la

The thief is in without a knock
The thief is on the stairs
Guess who's here to ruin your life
He just come and go without leavin' fingerprints
And never say goodbye

La la la la la la la la la la

Take what's mine - everything I live for
Take your time - all that you desire
Take what's mine, but you can't have my soul

So all you pretty girls
And all you handsome boys
Hold on to your heart
When you hear suspicious noise yeah

La la la la la la la la la la

Take what's mine - nothin' left to live for
Take what's mine - sneakin' out the window
Take what's mine, Take your time
Take what's mine - everything I paid for
Take your time - leave me on the sidewalk
Take what's mine, Take your time
Take what's mine - anything worth stealing
Take your time - you can hurt my feelings
Take what's mine, take what's mine
But you can't have my soul

"The Truth About Arthur"

"The Truth About Arthur"



He's looking at me with his eyes closed and his lips are moving fast
Little drops are dripping now from his chin upon his chest
And every time I try to escape, the little dwarf appears and fades

His glassy hand it touches me, I smell the air of death and life
Walking through the ballroom of the dead I hear two ghostly voices and a dark duet

Hearin the music of the minuet
Walkin through the ballroom of the dead
Voices, I wish they were signing glad

His glassy hand, it touches me, I smell the air of death and life
Walking through the ballroom of the dead I hear two ghostly voices and a dark duet

Hearin the music of the minuet
Walkin through the ballroom of the dead
Voices, I wish they were signing glad

Hearing the music of the minuet
Ghostly voices, dark duet
Hearing the music of the minuet
Ghostly voices, dark duet
I don't wanna die!
Hearing the music of the minuet
I don't wanna die!
Ghostly voices, dark duet
I don't wanna die!
Hearing the music of the minuet
I don't wanna die!
Ghostly voices, dark duet
I don't wanna die!
I don't wanna die!

"The Unforgettable Dream"

"The Unforgettable Dream"



Come on baby write me a letter
Shut out the night, write me a song
This wheel of fortune, we spin together
Am I right, am I wrong

I'm tired, tired of believin'
You don't care, you don't care
Come on woman, come on girl
Maybe it's time to weave your spell

And I know, the unforgettable dream line
You say it better than you know
And I know, the unforgettable dreamtime
You blew me feathers on the dance floor
You look amazin' in the night
Sure makes me horny
The way we whisper lies in the storm
I'm nothin' but a beggar for your love

I couldn't care less,
You couldn't care less
We're gettin' careless about the time

And I know, the unforgettable dream line
You say it better than you know
And I know, the unforgettable dreamtime
You blew me feathers on the dance floor
Let's go crazy in the night, sure makes me horny
Let's go chase another rainbow
Cause we're runnin' out of time
This night is unforgettable
The unforgettable dream
Let's go chase another rainbow
Before we forget................

"The Vanilla Queen"

"The Vanilla Queen"



Fascinating lady, snowflake in the sun
You make me feel so bourgeois
Oh, you've captured everyone
I hear you've been a dancer
At some famous Paris show
And million dollar lovers
Neatly saw you to your door
Nineteen fifty seven,
Sweetheart of the year
Secret of your beauty,
Was your moontan and your fear
And now you run this city
You're still honey to the flies
Attract the in crowd dandies
Faraway-look in their eyes
You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
Your mask is sterile dignity
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
You haunt me, even in my dreams
It couldn't be avoided
We were bound to meet
I knew you would drag me down
And toss me off my feet
Sweet moments of desire
Sweet moments of relief
You blew down my fences
You're natural make-believe

You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
Your mask is sterile dignity
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
You haunt me, even in my dreams

"The Wall Of Dolls"

"The Wall Of Dolls"



This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end

Frozen smiles and frowns
Lives of ups and downs
Aren't you, aren't we all
Part of the wall of dolls

Listen to the puppet clown
His tales might bring you down
Hang the dwarfs and trolls
Hang on the wall of dolls

This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end

"There Will Be A Tomorrow"

"There Will Be A Tomorrow"



Every day is like a dream to me
Baby, I'm more in love than any man could be
The moment that I see you, make me happy like I wish

And there will be a tomorrow
With a moment just like this
And there will be a tomorrow
Which will give me what I wish
Tomorrow

When I try to sleep at night
Then I feel what it means to miss you even while
That moment that you left me was a moment to forget

Cuz there will be a tomorrow
We'll forget all that we had
And there will be a tomorrow
There's no time to be so sad
Tomorrow

"They Dance"

"They Dance"



Down in the latin quarter
Down on dead-end street
Down in the basement brother
That's where I'm bound to be
Trading payday weekly
For a welfare check
My baby's cryin' crazy
Ain't seen nothing yet
Own a cardboard shelter
With a classic view on Rio
Sellin' cigarettes to the tourists down below
Girl's a sixteen year old carnival queen
Too poor to strike a match
If you know what I mean, If you know what I mean
But they dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition
That your soul belongs
Your soul belongs to music
They dance
Not too far from the ghetto
Life has a different feel
Food has a different flavour
Boot tap a different beat
Doberman's will be watchin'
Your every single move
You know you can't trust a stranger
Baby, oh ain't that the truth
Oh, ain't that the truth now
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition
That your soul belongs , your soul belongs to music
They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't do without it
They dance, it's such an old tradition
Their souls belongs, their soul belongs to music
That's why they dance

They dance to that voodoo rhythm
Oh, they can't live without it
But they dance, it's such an old tradition
Your soul belongs, your soul belongs to music
That's why you dance

"This Is The Other Side Of Life"

"This Is The Other Side Of Life"



Don't let your head hang down
Try to raise it up to the sky
This is life my friend
I know it ain't far from dying
Don't hide in mist all day and night
To fade your scars and pain away
The world is glass my friend
Look at the other side of life today

Don't let your head hang down
Try to raise it up to the sky
This is life my friend
I know it ain't far from dying
Don't hide in mist all day and night
To fade all the scars and pain away
The world is glass my friend
Look at the other side of life today

"This Is The Time Of The Year"

"This Is The Time Of The Year"


This is the time of the year
That love is coming unexpectedly
Knocking on your door, begging to come in
Baby won't you spread your wings
Won't you come on down and follow me

And if you do, you're like an arrow
And I'm the only bow
Baby, baby, and I can shoot you higher
Than you would ever go

This is the time of the year [4x]

Thinking about you baby, baby baby
I see mountains flying
I hear dark woods sighing
My love is getting higher
Won't you come on down and follow me

This is the time of the year
And I dance with you on a silver string
And after feeling music
We both blink into the world
And I'm the only man
That could ever reach you

This is the time of the year [4x]
