Stellar Attraction

It's a natural fact, it's heredity
Born in human originality
It's a leading light, it's more and more
It's increase and it is war
It's supply and demand, it's competition
It's the law and it's a fiscal mission
It's the profit's song, a constant fight
It is trade and it is right
So get out of my day, you make me scream
All you critics with your social dream
We are the hope, we're heaven cent
Don't be shy, take my hand
All the other way's - a complete disaster
We wipe them out, they fall ever faster
Reason and cash
All their coloured flags will soon be trash
It's a dollar affection and a stellar attraction
It's a trip to the stars, we'll land on Mars
An eternal chase for a new market place
We need land, Martian take my hand
This story of glory will end, we'll be sorry
The price is high for a slimy lie
Take my hand, say good-buy

After The Day
04:33

I water the flowers, I caress the cats,
perception cowers in icy nets,
tears follow tears, a drift to the sea
Imagine your smile - exploding
That’s what I want to do
the day after the day you’ll die
My pores want your softness, my ears your pleasing sound
I search for your light, blind on the ground
Paralysis begins, my hands touch the grey
energy escapes - exploding
That’s what I want to do
the day after the day you’ll die
It’s all that’s left to do
the day after the day you’ll die
I surmise the last news I forgo my last grin
a sudden stroke and I don’t know that I’ve been
dreams start to burn and water is near
the earth is so blue - exploding

Stay

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

Jericha

No tale to tell from ancient times
It was only yesterday
that I was out for rhymes
Loitering down the streets
without destination
Kicking away the heavy weights
with a smile on my feet
No direction, no affection
dazzled by the mighty blow
Hit by the weird and beautiful choir
That knew their song so well
and they sang: "We laugh about
your way, cripple! We feel your pain! "
Going crazy, running blind
Trying hate, tears behind
It took me away. I took myself away
And the moon, of course the moon
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

Pure

Sweet, my love, like rain
that strokes our window pane
while inside your pure and smiling silence
warms and brightens my life.
Harsh, my love, like wheat
that sighs in the summer heat
may the earth stand still so still we are moving
exposed to the sun and the wine.
It’s prickling in my nose,
it’s sweat upon my hands
it’s the beauty of the rose deserted in the sands
all around my head
there’s a cloud full of snowmen,
who sweep and smile once in a while
When you dance in my kingdom,
the nobels are shocked
the chests of gold are already unlocked
my minstrels and court-fools
in harness and armour
guard your way night and day
on and on, on and on.

Cat's Worst Grave

I remember yearnings so long ago
hiding in your helping hands, feeling low
every line I know every song I learned by heard
your stopped the flow from my bleeding soul
after lover’s grief had torn it apart
Your comfort and your purity encouraged me
to keep my dreams alive to stand up to the storm
In your tenderness in your peacefulness you smiled
you were so strong in your morality
and so lovely like a child
Heart of gold turned to stone,
Heart so old stop to pray
“Salman must die! The arrow’s on its way!”
What has become of you,
what devil burned you mind?
I know in wintertime it’s hard to catch a leaf
In your loneliness in your pain you saw no light
you who healed so many wounds were killed in the fight
Torturers must have robbed your corpse
Torturers taught you to pray
“Salman must die! The arrow’s on its way!”
I can’t believe my ears
It’s not true what you say.
It’s not you, you pray
The divine satanic verses revealed satanic minds
a grey old man without a smile,
the cheering mob behind
inside their blinded hearts mercy rebels in vain
and their hate destroys unrestrained
It this a world you like?
A heaven on earth, my friend?
Teaser and firecat would have been
tortured ’til the end.
I hope your god is merciful,
more merciful than you
Sad Lisa won’t trust you no more.
Heart of stone return to gold.
Heart so old, stop to pray
“Salman must die! The arrow’s on its way!”
I can’t believe my ears,
It’s not true what you say.
It’s not you, you pray.
Back in his hiding place, a poet tries to cry.
Last lines on a yellowed sheet:
So cold without you, love.

Dictator

I’ve got a bomb-proof throne
made from sculls and slaves
coloured shells to praise the lord.
and I’ve got six brown girls to shave my skin
on the backseat of my sweet Concorde.
between my ten swimming pools
no chaos rules for I am divine,
Never I’ll go back, don’t wanna go back
I’ll never go back! It’s all mine, all mine!
There are memorials of me
- thousands of them -
along the borders, in the cities, on the land.
my people love my dignity
I’m more famous than any Rock’n’roll band.
And oh, how I love you,
I just gotta say, how I love you
so get me a child
and a man in a wheelchair
and call me “The Mild”
while I stroke their hair.
I’ve heard rumours about revolution aloud
- no chance for that
my soldiers are loyal for their wages are royal
the rebels stay thin and I stay fat.
I’ve got friends everywhere in high positions
and they will always support my holy mission.
Never I’ll go back don’t wanna go back,
I’ll never go back, it’s all mine, all mine.

The Ultimate Song
03:56

This is the ultimate song
I feel it won't be long
After the very last tones
come trickling out your phones
Your wishes all will explode
Take a walk to the bomby wood,
listen to the siren's call
Ignore the starving shades,
convulsive in the glades
close you eyes, otherwise,
your eyeballs will vaporize
In the presence of megadeath,
you'll hold your breath
Don't complain my hero,
it's all agreed long since
The devils, the gods, the managers,
they all have dropped their hints
Turn around, hush, make no sound
Maybe you can escape
with a bag over your head
Duck under your bed
This is the ultimate tune
it will be over soon
Make the most of the chance
enjoy the last dance
"Get it while you can"
Stay away sweet children,
your dreams will burn to screams
We don't see your pure hearts,
hate is our fate
For million years the billions tears
haven't changed anything
Those who cannot cry know the reason why

Call For Life
05:27

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
