cocoon
we have built a house of cards
so instable from the start
can you tell me right from wrong
can you sing the same old song?
watch the newsflash,
watch them fall
fading beauty, once so tall
feel so naked and alone
the cocoon crashed
from one day to another
it crashed
the cocoon crashed
is religion reason enough
how much hatred conquers love
sudden silence much too loud
the cocoon crashed
from one day to another
it crashed
we know safety is a good
there´s a thing misunderstood
there´s no safe ground anywhere
that´s a burden hard to bear
power lies in the smallest things
when the bell of freedom rings
we return to what we know
the cocoon crashed
from one day to another
it crashed
the cocoon crashed
(...i will not lie down
not lie to the ground
i will not retreat
not in deepest heat...)
you surround me
when i wake up in my bed
dreamt of emptiness instead
you surround me...
when i come back to this place
feel the warmth that i embrace
you surround me...
and i want it to be real
all i want is just to feel
the certainty of love
and i want no one to steal
this deep certainty i feel
when you surround me
would you come and take my hand
would you try and understand
you surround me....
and my memory fails to show
forgotten days i felt so low
you surround me...
and i want it to be real
all i want is just to feel
the certainty of love
and i want no one to steal
this deep certainty i feel
when you surround me
rainbow road
met elvis on the road to memphis
he said "just follow me
to a hip hop concert, rock´n roll is dead!"
met john lennon in a pickup truck
he said "mate, man, i´ve got the blues
just tell me where the chicks are, cheap and fast"
when you´re chasing the rainbow
just drive the road to hell
where heaven´s just an exit to the left
met jesus on the internet
he had a chat with the pope and
they discussed the human nature via mail
met god in a black leather jacket
driving fast with metallica
on the stereo of his Jaguar XJ
when you´re chasing the rainbow
just drive the road to hell
where heaven´s just an exit to the left
i met caesar in a downtown bar, he said
"cleopatra is too old for me
and romans do it better than the rest!"
shakespeare got up and told him
"you´re wrong, mate, i gotta know that
i wrote a drama about you, and you´re not!"
when you´re chasing the rainbow
just drive the road to hell
where heaven´s just an exit to the left
wake up every morning
with the same bad dream
when i get up i see
it´s reality
is it really that worse
yes it is
i will rise
and you will fall
i´m the phoenix rising from the flame
who do you think you are
who do you think we are
we´re no dumb sheep
i`ll be the shepherd´s wrath
i will rise from the flames
and show you that there is still life
i am the avenging knight in shining armour
i will rise
and you will fall
i´m the phoenix rising from the flame
of the fire you set to my heart
the weight upon my shoulders
is flooding to my shield
i will never leave you
you will see me, with every breath you take
i will be there to remind you
that i am still there, we are still there
i will rise
and you will fall
i´m the phoenix rising from the flame
of the fire you set to my heart
view from a mirror
got up this morning and thought "shit! one year older!
the world must change and i myself must change"
then i walked to the mirror and saw there´s nothing changed
same buises, same scars, same happiness
and the i realized that sometimes a simple view into a mirror
is all you need to remind yourself....
now i´ve reached my thirties
i look back on the things that were
from the child´s games to the real names
from the freedom to life´s chains
there were people that helped me
people who stood in my way
have i really changed that much
have i lost my common touch
have i always felt this way
have my ideals gone astray?
and it´s still inside of me
still the man i used to be
it´s what other people see
a view from a mirror on me
life´s a duty, life´s a challenge
an adventure every day
there are kings and pwans and lovers
there are dragons all the way
there are people that help you
those who stand in your way
have i really changed that much
have i lost my common touch
have i always felt this way
have my ideals gone astray?
thought i knew my self so well
there´s a pearl within every shell
there is so much more to see
in a view though a mirror on me
no gods
do you think god´s a blind man
is that what you see
and the times ain´t a changing
like the dead, dead sea
praising fire in a thornbush
is the center of your dreams
let them burn in hell
you won´t wake to their screams
who do you think you are?
you´re no gods!!!
ever felt like a woman
after ill tratment and rape
and you think you vcan tell me
that her love will awake
i get sick when i see you
in your smart velvet robes
and the smiles on your faces
when you destroy all their hopes
who do you think you are?
you´re no gods!!!
if you think we are brothers
then forget about me
if you all go to heaven
hell´s a good place to be!
who do you think you are?
you´re no gods!!!
shelter
you are my life
whenever i reach out
you are always to find
you are my dreams
and when i close my eyes
you are all that i see
you are my shelter
the wall to hide behind
when the wind blows and the night comes and the rain begins to fall
you are always to find
can you see the light
my mind is on your side
when it´s dark and grey
you will find a way
you are my shelter
the wall to hide behind
when the wind blows and the night comes and the rain begins to fall
you are always to find
when i need help
i can always trust
that yuo stand there by me
my life is yours
whenever you need me
by your side i will be
you are my shelter
the wall to hide behind
when the wind blows and the night comes and the rain begins to fall
you are always to find
love song
when i sleep at night
i wake up from my dreams
i get up and look if you´re still there
one of my biggest fears
is to find an empty bed
and realize a dream was what i felt so real
i may not be the best
not better than the rest
you chose me from the crowd
but after all these years
after all these tears
through the sun and rain
through the fun and pain
i still love you
when i see your face
the lines i knew so well
i see the girl i fell in love with
now the baby´s there
and life has changed a lot
like a child my love is growing
i may not be the best
not better than the rest
you chose me from the crowd
but after all these years
after all these tears
through the sun and rain
through the fun and pain
i still love you
love is in your eyes
love is in your smile
love is in your heart
i still love you ....
our world
so many people and i´ll never know their names
so many scoreboards and you´ll never know the games
this world is a strange place
this world is the only place
so many war childs that you don´t know how to feed
so many weapons and i still don´t know the needs
this world is a cruel place
this world is the cruel place
so many cultures and i wonder where they are
so many fortunes that i´m wishing on a star
this world is a lucky place
if we could see that we´d be a lucky race
so many lovers and the futures looking bright
so many beggars that will never see the light
this world is a rich place
this world is a poor place...
everytime, everybody
look at your life, do you see
make up your mind, do you agree
People they say
they don´t like your style of life, your way
look at yourself, do you see?
go your own way, it´s right
(boy you know it)
life can be joy
(if you live it up)
people they say
they don´t like your style of life, your way
look at yourself, do you see?
everytime, everybody everything reminds
everytime, everybody criticise
everytime, everybody everything reminds
everytime, everybody critizise
look at your life
you did right you know
take what you like
´til pleasure does cause minds overflow
people they say
you´re wrong, you´re bad, you´re sad, you´re guilty
go your own way, it´s right to say
everytime, everybody everything reminds
everytime, everybody criticise
everytime, everybody everything reminds
everytime, everybody critizise
head and heart
you pick me up when i call
you take my hand when i fall
you correct me when i´m wrong
you embrace me when i´m strong
you light my way through darkest night
you prove me wrong when i feel right
you close your eyes and trust in me
all my senses lead to thee
head and heart, head and heart, head and heart
you´re the head and i´m the heart
you raise the flag upon this town
you hold the scepter and the crown
you´re far away, but always near
you´re the laughter and the tear
head and heart, head and heart, head and heart
you´re the head and i´m the heart
bottle of my memories
they always talk about the future
they talk about the next time
they talk about the things that came and went
they talk about the thin line
in the bottle of my memories...
they want to tame the world in 80 days
they´re talking about people
they´re talking about the earth, the sun and moon
of heartbreak and of lovers
in the bottle of my memories...
they always talk about the future
they talk about the next time
they talk about the things that came and went
they talk about the thin line
in the bottle of my memories...
spaceship earth
i was the first man on the moon
I´ll be the last breathe of a tune
i am leaving today
to a cosmos far away
i´m on a course to neverland
and i hop you´ll understand
got to meet up with the boys
play with cosmic neutron toys
on spaceship earth....
turning round and round, away
spaceship earth
spaceman
there´s an eathquake at the tip of your fnger
there´s a flood whenever you cry
time stops whenever you linger
storm breaks whenever you sigh
every man is a spaceman
and every star is a ship
there is spring for the first time when you love
there is summer when you laugh out loud
there is autumn when you think of backing off
there is winter when you scream and shout
every man is a spaceman
and every star is a ship
every black hole is a new sun
and a galaxy in my hand
leave me alone
leave me alone ...
I was the first man on the moon
I´ll be the last breathe of a tune
spaceship earth has left this place
forever....
light of darkness
can you the the light of darkness
can you see the light tonight
can you hear the sound of silence
can you hear the sound tonight
i was caught in a polar nightmare
the coldest heat i ever felt
then i swam in a desert ocean
the biggest space i´ve ever held
this world is mine
in the peace of love tonight
and i deny
the war of peace tonight
if i review
i was right
what's the use of being happy
what´s the use of being sad
what´s the use of crying tears
only sorrow makes me glad
this world is mine
(this world is mine)
and i deny
(and i deny)
if i review
i was right
can you the the light of darkness
can you see the light tonight
can you hear the sound of silence
can you hear the sound tonight
this world is mine
in the peace of love tonight
and i deny
the war of peace tonight
if i review
i was right
kingdom for sale
suddenly he´s on the cctv
must have come from another sphere
wears a kimono of sacred runes and stars
casts a spell, prophet, mage or seer
like a flash, my memory comes back
overwhelming pictures stun my mind
see me riding on a unicorn and laugh
we are people of another kind
suddenly the magic´s back
(this kingdom was for sale)
i feel enchanted again
(this kingdom was for sale)
i am king of this world
(this kingdom was for sale)
this kingdom was for sale
the green oceans of my kingdom
oh, i sailed them many times before
i walk the hills chewing daffodils in spring
oh, i love this country to the core!
suddenly the magic´s back
(this kingdom was for sale)
i feel enchanted again
(this kingdom was for sale)
i am king of this world
(this kingdom was for sale)
this kingdom was for sale
oh, may princess, i adore your beauty still
cast a spell and i come back to you
suddenly the magic´s back....
Love is...
there were fights and there were battles,
there were even little wars
each of us was saint and sinner
each of us was solitude
you were mate and i was skipper
through the wind and stormy sea
love is peace and love is war
love is a saint, love is a whore
in the ceasefire you´re my nurse
you heal my wounds then
you hold me so tightly
close within your loving arms
i could laugh there i could cry there
with the two and three of us
i could stay there for a lifetime
and to all eternity
love is beauty , love is pain
love is sunshine, love is rain
love´s a sniper hidden deep
in a chamber of our hearts
love is heaven, love is hell
loves´s a taste and love´s a smell
love is a thorn that goes so deep
love is all we need
love is, love is
love is a stranger
love is, love is
love is emotion
love is, love is
love is stronger
love is, love is
love is forever
love is one and love is all
from the rise up to the fall
love is the currency of dreams
i´m your debtor, as it seems
the wild sea
we bought this starship
some years ago
made a home there
where to grow
we´ve come to tame the raging sea
leave the harbour
to an unknown land
set the sails now
right where we stand
we´ve come to tame the raging sea
we´ve come to tame the raging sea
need no captain, need no crew
the only thing i need is you
no safe harbour, no green land
home is where we stand
you´re my captain, i´m your crew
the only thing i need is you
you´re my harbour, my safe land
home is here....
destination unknown
with a random course
leave it all behind us
feeling no remorse
we´ve come to tame the raging sea
the sun is burning
and the winds are strong
we let them lead us
right where we belong
we´ve come to tame the raging sea
we´ve come to tame the raging sea
need no captain, need no crew
the only thing i need is you
no safe harbour, no green land
home is where we stand
you´re my captain, i´m your crew
the only thing i need is you
you´re my harbour, my safe land
home is here....
Geneticus
forgive me mother
forgive me father
for we knew not what we did
people starving
people dying
we thought that we could solve it all
genetic coding
the riddle of life solved
we disarranged it piece by piece
new born babies
from genetic wombs
all of the same kind
modelled twins
adam 7 and eve 11
parents of today
childhood lead astray
Geneticus....
we were sent from heaven
we are sons of gods
new age world messiahs
Geneticus´ holy sons
forgive me daughter
forgive me son
all i may give you
is poisoned soil
so forsaken
unfertilized
of men in white cots
devil´s seed
false companions
with poisoned tongues
soothing promise
eloquence
let me tell you
i trust in you
the sands of my time
are running
out...
a new beginning (after geneticus)
different faces, different names
different colours of skin
born from mothers who did not obey
geneticus´ laws
now i stand in the summer rain
lost and alone
pick me up, take me anywhere
anywhere from here
resurrecting a forgotten past
coming back to life
a new beginning,a common goal
coming back to life
an open car an endless road
lead me to the stars
no borders to hold us now
no orders, no fears
resurrecting a forgotten past
coming back to life
a new beginning,a common goal
coming back to life
clouding
walking through the park lanes
with the one i love so dear
clouds race through the blue sky
and the cold air makes us freeze
clouding... i´m clouding....
over hills and mountains
towns and valleys, they are free
countries, through horizons
across the borders, war and peace
clouding... i´m clouding
if we were like clouds now
would we stay, here would we leave?
i know we would stay here
in this heartland, hand in hand
clouding, i´m clouding
clouding, racing clouds....
lucky man
the light of day, the dark of night
keeps me sane
the earth, the sun, the moon and stars
keep me sane
the trees and flowers, the cats and dogs
keep me sane
the daily work, the taks fulfilled
keep me sane
and now a baby comes into my life
and turns it upside down
there will be changes but i´ll take them
with the whole love that i feel
and when a husband is a father
what a lucky man i am
what a lucky man i am
the policy of truth
keeps me sane
a little thank you for the things i do
keeps me sane
just three chords and ´round the world
keeps me sane
the songs the lyrics every word i sing
keeps me sane
the laughter and the tears i cry
keep me sane
a little smile from the ones i love
keeps me sane
a little baby in his mothers arms
keeps me so sane
his lovely mother in his father´s arms
keeps me sane
and now a baby comes into my life
and turns it upside down
there will be changes but i´ll take them
with the whole love that i feel
and when a husband is a father
what a lucky man i am
what a lucky man i am
the bell
i just picked up the pieces of the ricochet
took the broken pieces again
alarmed by a bell, by a crying sway,
tuned the radio when the phone rang
you´d heard the news of the assassination
had seen him when he cried out and fell
heard the president talk top the nation
in the background the sway of my bell
home is where the heart lies
but if the hearts lie where is home
we had to leave the country where our hearts lay
now those hearts are made of stone
we both knew what would follow now
the bond of diplomacy´d die
they´d recruit all the young ones as soldiers now
and a bell would chime their goodbye
i really served my country well ´til then
didn´t belive the stories they told
that fear would fill thge hearts of men
that ticks like an iron bolt
But the world keeps on turning
while the countries are burning....
on the night that i decided to go
i had the feeling to betray my land
my heart chimed out for a better way
that the others would understand
so off we ent with the morning train
left the green hills far behind
our lives will never be the same
til the bell stops to chime in our minds
home is where the heart lies
but if the hearts lie where is home
we had to leave the country where our hearts lay
now those hearts are made of stone
But the world keeps on turning
while the countries are burning....
a little smile
when little children smile
i´m glad and i feel content
when little children smile
it seems to be heaven sent
when little children smile
i throw away my sorrows
when little children cry
try to understand their feelings
when little children cry
there are too much walls and ceilings
when little children cry
then take them on your knees
give your children peace, love and happyness
they will thank you with a little smile
teach your children to play and love and god to bless
world will reach then peace for everytime
don´t forget you were like them before,
a little child
so let them be happy, untamed and wild
world, make children glad
i feel so sad when i see
what we are doing to them
just also you and me
give your children....
torn country
woke up one morning
to the sound of a communist
crying for money, begging for honey
pointing at me, the imperialist
so i got up and listened to him
when he told me of a foreign land
No ways, no bread to eat, no butter, no meat
with solidarity the only friend
from the east side
to the west side
the five state side
eleven state side
from the poor side
to the rich side
from the outside
to the inside
no more red flags
no more surveillance on every day
no false believers, no more deceivers
we believe in the western way
so i made all my friends help him
give him shelter, give him faith
he brought all his mates with similar fates
we helped him out, what a hard, hard race
from the east side
to the west side
the five state side
eleven state side
from the poor side
to the rich side
from the outside
to the inside
this country is not one, this country is not one (torn country)
we tried to help rebuild their country
with all out money and all our power
they spit back at us, denying the past
every hour was a wasted hour
Now he´s standing right before me
with a laugh in his fat rat face
he´s f**king my wife, with my car for a drive
and starts to drag me to his eatern maze
from the east side....
sometimes
when they sit in the streets and block my way
got no money got no work or so they say
they´re licking their wounds and then they pray
with their money and picassos and their gold
all the lies in the stories that they told
do you think they are better off this way?
this world is a whorehouse sometimes
this world is paradise sometimes
this world is what we make out of it
this world is a desert sometimes
this world is garden eden sometimes
this world is so close to the edge
sometimes....
will you love me forever and a day
will fortune fade or will it stay
will our baby be born into a better world?
will the new millennium change the tide
will a new messiah see the light
will hate and greed come to an end?
this world is a whorehouse sometimes
this world is paradise sometimes
this world is what we make out of it
this world is a desert sometimes
this world is garden eden sometimes
this world is so close to the edge
sometimes....
are the lives we live not worth the pain
there will be things that still remain
a monument for each of us
when the day of our funeral has come
last words are said, last songs are sung
will we be proud or will we beg and cry?
sometimes....
life is a river
since i was a baby
my daddy told me
life is a circle without end
when i was a small boy
i thought of the old men
that they were wooden and dead
give me back my childhood
the laughter and the dreams
take away the hatred
and the suicide machines
life is just a river
that flows endlessly
mankind is a boatrace
heading to the sea
only some rise
only few fall
and the least are drowning in the river
when i grew older
i sailed many oceans
met many people, they all were the same
the most had a fire
that kept their eyes burning
eternal youth and the wisdom of age
give me back...
now i´m an old man
i´m talking of rivers
look into my eyes and see me burn
if infant, if adult,
we sit in one boat now
and our journey will not end
give me back...
wonderland
and when, when you come
come to me tonight
you´ll see the whole land
the whole land tonight
there where all the flowers grow
grow in the sand
an there, there we play
play with our band

and disappear
and where the world is growing
you will hear
but you know his words
don´t be near
in wonderland....
and when, when you come
come to me tonight
you´ll see the whole land
the whole land tonight
there where all the flowers grow
grow in the sand
an there, there we play

then you will be right
right into my show

because all the stupids
are here in my show
called wonderland....
