all songs and lyrics

Bonnie and Clyde

Down on the ground I see the ocean
That's not what I have expected
It came from all my illusion
I do wanna know what's coming next

Down on the ground I see what I have
That's not what I have expected
It came from all my devotion
I do wanna know what's coming next

We play Bonnie and Clyde if you want to
Money and crime if you let me do
We play Bonnie and Clyde if you want to
Money and crime if you let me do
Don't you?

Butterfly

Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
Forever glared
The colors of the flowerbed we shared

Butterfly
Be so kind take my
Memories
Of spring that make it harder to release

When did she arrive

Cinderella

She's walking down a lane
Cinderella was her name
But not that day

The avenues of fame
They have turned into a narrow
Walk of shame

The city streets are new
And she doesn‘t know where to go

And I‘m calling you again
To pick you up and then
Don‘t you lie tell me how do you do
How do you do, don‘t turn away

Cause don‘t you know that
That your secret
Has the same effect
Of a bottleneck

Try to
To resume your liberty

December is a friend
Sending all the angels
He can lend

To slightly keep an eye
and guiding you with snowflakes
passing by

The city lights are blue
And she doesn‘t know where to go

And I‘m calling you again
To pick you up and then
Don‘t you lie tell me how do you do
How do you do, don‘t turn away

Cause don‘t you know that
That your secret
Has the same effect
Of a bottleneck

Try to
Try to do what
No one else can do
Except for you

Don't you
Don't you see that
That I care for you
I really do

Don't you
Don't give up so easily

Julia
Why do you let go

Cause don‘t you know that
That your secret
Has the same effect
Of a bottleneck

Circus

I‘ve had extraordinary dreams
Big shoes to fill by any means
I‘d ride my bike every night
Until they found the dynamite

And they go...

Now that I know
I‘ve been missing my calling
It‘s funny I don‘t
Pull the rip cord - I‘m falling

The other day I cleaned the cage
Brought out the dirt and earned my wage
I drill the lions tonight
But now I whet their appetite

And they go...

Now that I know
I‘ve been missing my calling
It‘s funny I don‘t
Pull the rip cord - I‘m falling
Now that I know
I‘ve been missing my calling

I‘m the japanese cherry tree that grows in the hills of the normandie
I‘m the green of a traffic light at the countryside in the middle of the night
I‘m the shark from Miami that swims his rounds in the baltic sea
I‘m the love at the second sight when there‘ll never be a second time

Dance in the Rain

Dance in the rain
Like a three year old
Lo and behold
Leavin‘ all the rain be rain
And rompin‘ in the puddles
Believe in me
How can it be be be
That you‘re afraid of water

I wear the water crown
Enjoy the drip rail sound
Another wave reaches the town
Why don‘t you come along
Why don‘t you understand
The raindrops, fallin in your hand

Dance in the rain
At a crowded beach
Breath in and sing
That they will remember your name
And show them all your muscles
Believe in me
They gonna see see see
The kingdom of a river

Dance in the rain
On the bathroom floor
Livin‘ in a house
That neither has no roof nor walls
But still enough for a living
Believe in me
No I don‘t need need need
No fortune when I‘m swimming

I wear the water crown
Enjoy the drip rail sound
Another wave reaches the town
Why don‘t you come along
Why don‘t you understand
The raindrops, fallin in your hand

February Roads

Lay your hands upon my arm
And we decide what's right and wrong
In february nights are long
And make you notice

Get the sadness off your chest
Mother of the second best
Your needle pointing east and west
To make you notice

Lay your hands upon my arm
And we decide what's right and wrong
Cause february roads are long
And make you notice

Fly

So I'm asking you why people fly to get to New York
I close my eyes and a song will do cause I, I can do, I fly

And I'm asking you why people carry a tape in their hearts
I close my eyes and a song will do cause I, I can do, I fly

So that's my secret, that's my fun
And I can have it for a while
Not for long and not so much
And it is nothing they can touch
Oh I leave a feather and vanish in a haze

Heartbeat

Hide your eyes and hold on tight to my hand
Remember us and sing old songs that you like
Soon the mournful men could walk the lands
So bend your knees and feel your ties

Heartbeat Heartbeat
When it started you loved to put your ear upon my chest
To feel the part
In me that started to plant a tree, plant a tree next to your house
and we made it green
Moony on the swing you'd sing and give a lesson
telling me "you know what we do?
Do me a favor, do me a favor
Before it is too late We count the meadow's daisies and treat them all
like they never gonna wither"
Heartbeat Heartbeat
When it started you told me to love them all and so I do

Hide your eyes and hold on tight to my hand
Remember us and sing old songs that you like
Soon the mournful men could walk the lands
So bend your knees and feel your ties

Our little house to revel
No calamity today
Live it up, send a messenger
To the people who complain

Hide your eyes and hold on tight to my hand
Remember us and sing old songs that you like
Soon the mournful men could walk the lands
So bend your knees and feel your ties

Heartbeat Heartbeat
When it started you loved to put your ear upon my chest
To feel the part
In me that started to plant a tree, plant a tree next to your house
and we made it green
Moony on the swing you'd sing and give a lesson
telling me "you know what we do?
Do me a favor, do me a favor
Before it is too late We count the meadow's daisies and treat them all
like they never gonna wither"
Heartbeat Heartbeat
When it started you told me to love them all and so I do

Hello

Hello
I like no cappuccino to go
I like no wind no rain and no snow
I'll go to mexico
But I can't - cause

In my land
They're looking for a newcomer-band
And four is always better than five
And I want to feel alive

Live a life at the bay
Dive in the waves, kid
Try your luck in L.A.
You should risk it
Take a leap in ballet
Dive in the melody
Dance it out of the way

You decide it
Can't get enough of it
This is your right, kid

Hello
I want a sunny beach and a boat
I need an overload-antidote
I'll go to mexico
Yes I can

And when
I'm gonna lie with you in the sand
I'm gonna curl your hair with my hand
And I'm gonna feel alive

Live a life at the bay
Dive in the waves, kid
Try your luck in L.A.
You should risk it
Take a leap in ballet
Dive in the melody
Dance it out of the way

Alright, we arrived,
Alright, it is alright
Tonight we arrived alive

Hello hello
You look good in a mirror with shimmer in your eyes
Your're bonafide
you know that your're gonna find it all tonight

We ride and ride
We float on the river
We climb the hill up high
We search the sky
We're asking the brightest sunbeams for advice

If sun or rain
We're changing our luggage
We're changing our name
But we always contain
The love that our families gave us on our way

We ride and ride
We float on the river
We climb the hill up high
We search the sky
We're asking the brightest sunbeams for advice

Hello hello
Take a look in the mirror and travel with your eyes
And you may find
It good to deliver the map inside your mind

Hey Chap

I woke up early today
We go and we stop
And the miles melt away
I make my first move
And with a second I‘m on my way
This is an ordinary closeup
Of forever, forever and a day

We all live along
Why can‘t you take part
Well he couldn‘t get
Back to the start

Hey Chap get up you know you have to
Do the things no one else is going to do
Wake up and set it all in motion
Today

The sun‘s at the peak
And dusk far away
All the friends that we meet
Turn the monologue into a play
So we make our next move
And with a second we‘re on our way
This is an ordinary closeup
Of forever, forever and a day

We all live along
Why can‘t you take part
Well he couldn‘t get
Back to the start

Hey Chap get up you know you have to
Do the things no one else is going to do
Wake up and set it all in motion
Today

Strong like a storm
They are crowding the place
Babies are born
Former enemies embrace
Didn‘t he know that it all just begun
And that a perfect life was
On it‘s way to come

We all live along
Whith you in our heart
Though you couldn‘t get
Back to the start

So you will live along
Along in our heart
Though you couldn‘t
Get back
You take part

Intertwining Concurrence

And all her charm more than I can take
Her tender skin to communicate
Alluring gleam from a perfect shape
Now she's in my head while I'm with you

My look my glance away from you
You slowly die along the way
The gentleness of someone new
An unexpected lover

And all her charm more than I can take
I break the rules but I don't fake
An intertwining concurrence
Now she's in my head while I'm with you

My look my glance away from you
You slowly die along the way
The gentleness of someone new
An unexpected lover

Living for the Moment

I've been livin' for the moment
and I've been doin' this for a while
And am I wrong if I assume that it's lasting
at least till the next day

And I've been thinking that my trouble
is gonna vanish if I just don't care
And am I wrong if I assume that it's over
maybe the next day

And I've been pleadin‘ for forgiveness
for I‘ve been leavin‘ many things behind
But I keep tellin‘ me that I will get started
maybe tomorrow

And I‘ve been bein‘ so frustrated
for I‘ve been havin‘ an exhausting fight
My enemy is too persistent - I can‘t win
I fight against time

Do you really wanna have this
I don‘t know
Is that all your life
I don't want to know

There‘s people tellin‘ me I‘m gifted
‚Boy appreciate your privileged life
But for my shame I only shifted I drifted
wasn‘t I gifted?

So I‘ve been livin‘ for the moment
and I‘ve been doin‘ this for a while
And am I wrong if I assume that I'm
running in circles all the time

Do you really wanna have this
I don‘t know
Is that all your life
I don‘t want to know

Lalalalalala life ain't for free
But I still, I still don't want to, to pay my fee and I sing
Lalalalalala I‘m a menace for myself
I know

So I‘ve been livin‘ for the moment
but now I take it with a smile
But am I wrong if I assume that it‘s over
Maybe the next day

Lalalalalala life ain't for free
But I still, I still don't want to, to pay my fee and I sing
Lalalalalala I‘m a menace for myself
I know

Love Me

What a weather today
Go and buy a bouquet
Oh I could go to the park
Feed the ducks at the lake
Or hang out at the balcony

What more can I say
This is all for today
Now I get up 1 o‘ clock time to take a walk
At the market near the cemetery

Then I see you
And flowers grow
Beetween the stones

Can this be the first time?

Love me
I call you
Love me
And I‘ll be alright

Then I drop the bouquet
Throw the shopping away
Oh I start to rub my eyes
I am telling no lies
I needed a reality check

I‘ve seen her before
It was years ago
Oh she had a walk through the park
Picking flowers near the lake
And suddenly she disappeared

When I see you
Flowers grow
Between the stones

Hey, can you stay this time?

Love me
I love you
Love me
And I‘ll be alright

She takes my hand and gives a little smile to me
Why don‘t you stay with me
So many people believe it‘s just a saturday
But they don‘t know that saturday‘s an angel‘s holiday

My Isle

A foreign ship reaches my isle
Sudden wind wakes up the demons
I saw them coming, here am I
A wooden mask without a reason

Before I leave I'd love it to see you wave
I wanna see your hands up, Sinah, on the day, on the day
The foreground gets a color I can't explain
I wanna see your hands up, Sinah, on the day, on the day

Yet calm and quiet moves my brush
And solemnly depicts on linen
What I could be and what I'm not
and what I'm up to wear all time then

Before I leave I'd love it to see you wave
I wanna see your hands up, Sinah, on the day, on the day
The foreground gets a color I can't explain
I wanna see your hands up, Sinah, on the day, on the day

I met you but you ain't just not, you ain't just not, we ain't just not
Cold enough for giving you the minute or two, the minute or two
that makes you blue
So right but you ain't just not, you ain't just not, we ain't just not
Cold enough for giving you the minute or two, the minute or two
that makes you blue

Polaroid (instrumental)

Revolving Doors

You want it
Cause you need it
And you'll get it
Oh it's in your eyes

You take it
And then it takes you

I feel, I feel

Blue chips arousing my devotion
To big shops - revolving doors
How can I explain the world to a poor man
Wouldn't he just laugh and walk away

You pet it
Cause you love it
And you show it
Oh it's in their eyes

You wear it
And then it wears you

You bet it
Cause you know it
(And all the while you're piling resources)
And you'll blow it
Oh it's in your eyes
(Thinking hard about what else you can get)

You fake it
(You can forget that the only remorse is)
And then it fakes you
(Revolving doors turn heads)

I feel, I feel

Blue chips arousing my devotion
To big shops - revolving doors
How can I explain the world to a poor man
Wouldn't he just laugh and walk away

We sold our soul for an illusion
I feel vacuity arising
How can I explain the world to a poor man
Wouldn't he just laugh and walk away

The Man at the Docks

Maybe I should get me a new room, a new room
Maybe in a part of the town that I like
Easily I leave and I take a breath I take a breath
Heading for my ship in the dark of the night

But suitcases where are my suitcases hello my name is
Jack I go ahead without a plan inside my head
But anyway I got to decide on my ride
Where I‘ll go and what I need

Lay thy fate in fortuity
Behind the slightest river lies the sea

Look up to the sky
Stars are going to tell you
Where you‘ll be satisfied
Open your eyes
Sailors need to have a guide
So take your time to
Get out your binoculars
And climb on top of the mast

Maybe I should get me a new room, a new room
Maybe in a part of the world that I like
Finally I‘m reaching the waterside, the waterside
Heading for my ship in the dark of the night

The sails and covers still need to be patched
The shipyard‘s in a hurry while I‘m smoking at the edge
But even though there‘s no happiness
About where I‘m from and where I‘ll be

Lay thy fate in fortuity
Behind the slightest river lies the sea

Look up to the sky
Stars are going to tell you
Where you‘ll be satisfied
Open your eyes
Sailors need to have a guide
So take your time to
Get out your binoculars
And climb on top of the mast
And you‘ll see more than before

I‘ve come a long way
To see another world
A pretty long way

Track One (instrumental)

You Get A

You can't imagine where I was and how long it took
To find us a place that reminds you of Hollywood
It took hours to get perfume of another kind
Learning languages that allow me to read your mind

You can't imagine where I was and how long it took
To find us a place that comes up with some proper looks
You get a swimming pool with a view over the sea
We dance with your friends all night long at a lonely beach

Love my money
You just have to try
Love my money
It makes you feel alive
You're standing on the dancefloor
Sipping at your drink
The swimming pool you asked for
Will be better than you think

Oh you're gonna love my money
You just have to try
Love my money
It makes you feel alive

Your eyes
Will be mine
Good night

I'll give you all I got to give if you love me too
Got a good job with good pay at the 5th avenue
I build us a town in the dream where we will belong
No I'm not suffering from a love delirium

I'll give you all I got to give if you love me too
Got a good job and a family to be with you
Mickey Finn is a good brother help me out a bit
15 minutes and you will be for my benefit

Love my money
You just have to try
Love my money
It makes you feel alive
You're standing on the dancefloor
Sipping at your drink
The swimming pool you asked for
Will be better than you think

Oh you're gonna love my money
You just have to try
Love my money
It makes you feel alive

Your eyes
Will be mine
Good night

Be ready to run to
A place you can hide
Cause he doesn't treat you well
Love made him blind

Your Only Grace

I've been havin fun makin out with you
With gorgeous lips and eyes some kind of blue

You're the only queen around tonight
A restless angel with a crown that's made of spotlight

But there is
So many faces that I don't know
And your only grace is that you're not broke

Professional is how you play the game
But knowing the rules and looking behind is not the same

And you think you know the people here, maybe you even call them friends haha
I thought you were wise, but welcome lady, in the world of lies

Cause there is
So many faces that I don't know
And your only grace is that you're not broke
Your fuckin' glamour, your foolish show
I'll go my own way, you keep your crown

You never stay at a place for too long
Better follow your favorite song
But anyway you amaze me my love, somehow

Just go and find you a place where you stay
Not tomorrow we'll do it today
Let me show you the way if I may

There is
So many faces that I don't know
And your only grace is that you're not broke
Your fuckin' glamour, your foolish show
I'll go my own way, you keep your crown
