"Great Mission"

Great Mission

The jungle near manaus
The amazonas full of piranhas
The birds of paradise
Disappear into the green desert
For years and years
We are hungry and desperate
For the only thing worth living
The excess
We end our great mission
Exhausted and sad
And there is no hope left
When suddenly
In a cloud of golden smog
The father of excess
Jumps out of the water of
The amazonas full of piranhas
And screams to the lost souls

What are you doing at the amazonas
Leave manaus full of piranhas (burp!)
You will not find excess in the jungle

And then
He opened the green curtain
Made of fleshy leaves and said

I show you the excess of the
Asphalt a montmartre
The excess of the belly-dance
In abu dhabi
And the excess of the everlasting night in manhattan (burp!)

Are you ready for the sensation del tango a rosario?
Leave him, the gorilla
Leave the jungle of the amazonas
Leave manaus full of piranhas
And follow father excess...

"You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess"

You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess

One two three
A little fool I want to be
Two three four
You can give me more
Five six seven
I don't want to wait for heaven
Nine ten eleven
Going back to seven
Seven eight nine
Kann denn das noch sein?

We love it
We need it
Excess
We hate it
We want it
Express
We feel it
We get it
Not less
We need it
We love it
Excess

"Swing"

Swing

The one desire is to dance the swing
Could catch it all night long
And when I'm riding on that wing
And just for you I'm in the swing

And when I'm riding on that wing
My heart does start to sing

Für dich allein tanz' ich den swing
Ich hoff' du bleibst noch hier
Vielleicht geh' ich nach zu dir hin
Und dann tanzst du mit mir

And when I'm dancing
I've got to give it all
Cause it's the only thing
And when I'm waiting
Until last call
I do it for the swing

And when I'm riding on that wing
My heart does start to sing

And when I'm riding on that wing
My heart does start to sing

"Heavy Whispers"

Heavy Whispers

Why do you cry baby cry
Please tell me why baby why
Why don't you fly baby fly
Please tell me why baby why

I have to know baby know
Why is it so baby so?
Why don't you smile baby smile
Not in a while baby while

Please stop to cry baby cry
Or tell me why baby why
I need to know baby know
Why is it so baby so?

Oh oh oh oh baby please
I'll beg you down on my knees
Why don't you smile baby smile
Not in a while baby while

Baby the truth baby truth
Has to be smooth baby smooth
Why don't you fly baby fly
Please tell me why baby why

I have to know baby know
Don't let me go baby go
Why don't you smile baby smile
Not in a while baby while

The truth about human beings
The truth about human desire
The truth about human eyes
The truth about human faces
The truth about everybody
The truth about you

"Pumping Velvet"

Pumping Velvet

Dynamite

Putz karam sheoba kitsch daboum
Waiting for the lady in the red balloon
Putz dada sheoba sleik dabich
Looking for a groove she stares at me, that witch

Dynamite

Poud karoud sheoba diba duglak
Leather and lace, she's wearing black
Poud karoub sheoba diba diboum
Believe it or not, she doesn't know my name

Dynamite

Putz karam sheoba kitsch daboum
Putz dada sheoba sleik dabich
Poud karoub sheoba tipa ziglack
Poud karoub sheoba dib diboum
Putz karam sheoba kitsch daboum

She's spinning circles around my balloon
Putz karam sheoba kitsch daboum
She's dynamite the lady and that's unfair
I'm stuck in my balloon, stuck in the air

"Desire"

Desire

The sun
Blowing the moon away
Lights me up for
One more day
The streets are naked
In the morning sun
The night lifts behind me
I run and run

Morning heat
Puts a thin film of sweat on my face
A little man, his eyes half closed
Puts chairs on tables
Admires his work
And collects a quarter from the floor

I head over to broadway
Where I watch myself
Having a slow breakfast
Trying to impress the barman with a fresh voice
When I ask for the bill

The sun
Blowing the moon away
Lights me up for
One more day
The streets are naked
In the morning sun
The night lifts behind me
I run and run

Desire
Desire for the unknown eyes
Desire for the unknown name
I'm burning in the morning sun, I want to run
Desire for the unknown name
Desire for the unknown love
I'm burning in the morning sun

"Vicious Games"

Vicious Games

I never knew
How much I loved you
I never knew
How much I cared
So I played

Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names

I was afraid
To go under
Afraid to see
When I closed my eyes

Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names

I never knew
How much I loved you
I never knew
How much I care
I just played

Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
With different names, different names

Now that you're gone
And you have left me
I had to learn
I had to learn how much it hurts
To play those vicious games

Vicious games, vicious games
Different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
Different names, different names

Vicious games, vicious games
Different names, different names
Vicious games, vicious games
Different names, different names

Beautiful
Oh yeah... oh yeah...

Good time

"Desert Inn"

Desert Inn

I never meet her in the city
But believe me she is pretty
Six-hundred-fifty miles away
I meet my angel in the desert
In the desert I can meet her
Oh in the desert heat she makes me play

I'm not trying to be clever
I'm not getting there forever
Only flying with the wind and thee
I'm not trying to be late
Just becoming a slave
Come on angel, play the game

I'm not trying to be clever
I'm not getting there forever
Won't fight with the window on me
I'm not trying to be late
Just becoming a slave
Come on angel, play the game

She's never in the city
But the woman she's pretty
Six-hundred-fifty miles away
I meet my angel in the desert
In the desert I can meet her
In the desert heat she makes me pray

There is a race in your face
