Screaming women, kerchiefs on Fierce looking beards with a gun TV pictures on our mind Their eyes alone see the sun Politics of centuries ago Deriding today All in all the same as here Just two different paths of one way Now we have to start it Open-hearted all the time Now we have to dance to get higher Now we have to start it Or we won't find the time Together in a line Believing in a war so fair So sweet, so intimate they pray Our prejudice our fear to share Of course they wanna stop to pay

It was a time of innocence When I was twelve safe and sound Inside my shell I didn’t plan, I didn’t move It was a time the dreams began When I was thirteen Kiss of Life So cautiously And I felt, and I touched You can try if you want to Said the clown, tumbling over You can hide for a minute now Said the turtle and rushed away It was a time the shadows fell When I was sixteen Reflection and pain A rebel in vain And I moaned, and I cried It is a time of eternity Because I am Circling round Starting again And we dance, sometimes we dance You can try if you want to Said the clown, tumbling over You can hide for a minute now Said the turtle and rushed away You can face the world And wonder with big eyes You can catch a star And then you realize You will ask for asking’s sake Like communicats bouncing today

See a world lies behind The lines, the screen Open your window and find A most imaginary scene Down the street a spaceship lands Carrying the burden of a beast in chains Its captain seems right out of place The crew is dead, the gunman at least remains... Crowds pass by Without a glance Empty boots appear Crosses in their hands Won't you come and say: Now! Won't you come and say how Won't you come and.... Out in the park on a sunday Leaving no mark in the barks Nowhere to go - just the horizon So many ways with one end See, a lie returns for a while Escaping from a pile Gathering wood in a fire If only the flames will never reach higher See, a why returns from behind Leaving me so blind A hail-storm, a thoundercloud Wash away the frail new born plants of peace Wet and breathless I recall The days I used to menace with my fist to resist The shower's on The shampoo's gone A hundred million bottles If only I had one Won't you come and say: Now! Won't you come and say how Won't you come and... And all that I can say today Searching for gold Digging in the mud out in the cold And all that I can hide tonight Twisting by the pool Slaves to serve the poisoned drinks so cool And all that I can feel today Was felt long before Hear it now The toll-free toll Crack dealers advertise Rock'n'Roll Won't you come and say: Now! Won't you come and say how Won't you come and feel The turning of the tide The slipping of the real Wash & Go

He hates the desk, that is grotesque With all its documents and lists and the screen Outside the sun, he wants to run away To face the day without destroying his way Hurry up! Don't dare to stop! Something inside him screams It's creeping in, it's sweating out The fear of flying, the fear of dying, a roundabout It's time to decide, to choose the question mark or to hide from the fire still burning inside On the radio, 'though the level's low, he hears The Stones See how I'm flying it's the call for life Just pretend your wings are stronger than all the things that put you down and start your crying She's through the door of the seventh floor Her naked body lies dead on the ground Tears in his eyes asking for the wherefores and the why's And searching for the pure or at least the nice Not only on the radio, don't keep the level low, we receive the call See how I'm sailing in the eye of the storm Leave your fears behind or soon you'll be blind For the miracle called life

Captured in the whirling pools No escape - the spiral rules And draws like a magnet, draws We have to obey Born into the shifting sands Wriggling, blood upon my hands And it pours like a waterfall it pours And I disappear All I say fades away All I say won’t remain And sail away, away, away… On water so near, water so clear The moon controls the tide Waves of life keep rolling to the shore To stop once more Before they must return Time, time, time The moon controls the light A fire leading lovers through the night Tender glances at the shore Before they must return Words I say Words I hear Words between the lines Words of love Words of truth Won’t be remembered by time If I stay here to face the day Would the waves stop to return? If I stay here to cry for help Would the tide start to learn? Words I say Words I hear Words of no respect If I told myself to get out of your way There’s nothing more to say

Out of a dream cloud a white eagle lands on Lisa's lifeless hands "Here comes the big surprise" He says with twinkling eyes Down from the rainbow A golden swine starts licking her spine Reviving with his tongue That forms their holy song Stay, stay, stay, stay alive More than you lie More than you sigh Stay, stay, stay, stay wild Beyond the cold We're dancing bold Save in her dream shell sleeping peacefully inside their symphony The empty bottles outside Don't penetrate her flickering light Awaking from the delirium Lisa begins to hum Their perfect melody That demands to be And she tries to find Tries to find out the breeding place Of her magical pets "Brothers, have you seen the golden swine or the snow white eagle?" But the brothers are stunned And the brothers don't care I can't promise you anything, but you

The paths we go Sensations we show Are they shaped in a line Do we control With heart and soul? And my thoughts, are they mine? Are my decisions Just vivid visions? Is it true, am I alive? The bridles ends tight in my hands And the view crystal clear But the coachman's seat is wide And he sits by my side The horses in my back obey You're guarding all my ways Am I running free Or fulfilling my destiny? Are these questions worth the time? What's the meaning of a dream? Am I water in a stream? What's the source of a rhyme?

GLIMPSE OF HOME (excerpt) Arrows of dew Arrows of dew fly silently in the night Arrows of dew first come warm And then no rhyme The quiver god quivered quite a lot When he aimed at our hearts He failed to tear them apart Arrows of steel stuck inside our fantasy Arrows of dew they had to melt away She didn't stay Tender journey Lilac lighting A flower on my way I got down on my knees To smell her bloom Inhale her scent She stirs me so Her eyes so shy Sparkles in our minds Colours in my pulse Being silent we spoke No word disturbed the air Smiling side by side A tune in my heart In the throat of the night What kind of storm is this I'm losing ground Round and around and around And around and around Only your smile No sleep at all Collapse of time Coughing my breath Thorns in my chest Almost insane Elevator The doors open wide As we entered the room to rise The springtime sun outside Showed so much fun and delight The buttons revealed So many heights that me might reach The flight so sweet In a pushing beat Hand in hand I declared that I love rainbows On the wall paper I wrote my love letter You mentioned the mountains That are so hard to climb And I thought maybe I can help you Higher we came And through the walls of glass I saw That famous bridge over troubled water We kissed our lives And with the setting sun behind I felt this might be home JERICHA (excerpt) There's life to tell from present days The choir went away For the smile was on my face Suddenly my home was in reach Seven times I marched inside her And her walls began to fall Eternity won't satisfy future has been great Our life's a flash in the universal rain You stopped my heart from loosing blood You kissed my soul alive And the dreams we’re celebrating Jericha, all of me is for you

Cuckoo: You turn around You turn around again He'll touch the ground And won't return again Your son will die again You exert yourself You exert yourself again - in vain I'll rise up to the sky To see the corpse below Enjoy the sunny days He'll be cold as a stone Try to rest till next time Your heart beats now Your heart beats now again At the final blow One last breath to grow One last push to go Little Bird: Ooh-ba-ooh Sayway - sail away The start is the end of my lifetime Mother Bird: Hungry all the time I try so hard to feed their beaks I can't afford to sigh Gotta hurry up I can't stand their squeakes Ooh - I need more time I need so much more time now I'm a true-hearted mother - somehow Flying cross the aisles I'm chasing the worm on the grass In the fern I'm far away I fly Back on my way to see if they are okay Ooh - I need more time I need so much more time now I'm a true-hearted mother - somehow Somehow

Ships without a sail Snakes without a tail Senses start to fail Plans have gone away Aims have gone astray Fragments on my way Unable to keep the light To face the fight and see Unable to force my fate To communicate with me When you dive you can’t run When you bleed there’s a gun Buildings of pain Mountain high, oversized You don’t dare to stare too At the top Hoarding your lies Falling from skies And still your heart is true Crack the shell Ride the waves Of confidence and laughter The race is on On we Go ahead Headless foe Cross the line Line up smiles Smile within In different styles Let your features just win Let your creatures begin Chase your dreams Dreams of life Life to steal Steely knife Words to trust Trusts of gold Golden hearts Hearts so cold Let your hunted soul shine Let your senses feel fine Catch the train Train your mind Mind the step Step behind Melt the ice Eyes of hope Hope to smash Smash the dope Let your vipers release Let your snipers now cease fire When you hide you can’t show When you’re cramped it can’t flow Canyons to cross Turn the page, start again Watch out for the splendor Of your life Use every stair When there’s blues everywhere And still your heard is true Crack the shell, join the waves Of confidence and laughter I’m able to hold the light To start the fight and win I’m able to call my fate To communicate with me
