A Drop Of Milk
03:46
|
|||
A drop of milk
On a sheet of paper
A hidden tear
From underground
Watch the train
Arriving at the station
Watch the people
With their different dreams
It is all done
In a few moments
The shadow lost
And burned in hell
All the tears
That have been burning
In your eyes
Are now away
And I like
What the others don´t
And I like
Just to hang around
And I like
A lot of things
What I like the most
Is you
So when my life
Will be over
Be sure I´ll be waiting
There for you
I don´t know hell
I don´t know heaven
But what I know is
I love you
And I like
What the others don´t
And I like
Just to hang around
And I like
A lot of things
What I like the most
Is you
And I like
What the others don´t
And I like
Just to hang around
And I like
A lot of things
What I like the most
Is you

Let The Rain Fall
03:19
|
|||
I got caught in the desert
Of the cold steel hearts
With no-one around
But the shadow of Joanne
I felt like a burglar
As I opened my mouth
Let the water run dry
From my bottle of leather
The sky is still blue
And we´ve got some birds to sing
And a couple of trees
Made from PVC
Let the rain fall
Against our windows
Let the time fall
In our minds
Let the flowers
In our garden
Let them grow
beneath our feet
Would you tell me
About the secret affairs
In the dawn of the day
The golden and the brown
Seeds of the roses
Have been planted like barbed wire
Go on to the earth
And ask for your desire
I´m standing on the edge
Of the shimmering twilight
Suitcase packed
Insurance paid out
And the years
Are getting shorter
And moonlight
Fills my eyes
When I´m sad
I think about you
When I´m gone
I can tell you I am bound
I got caught in the desert
Of the cold steel hearts
With no-one around
But the shadow of Joanne
I felt like a burglar
As I opened my mouth
Let the water run dry
From my bottle of leather
The sky is still blue
And we´ve got some birds to sing
And a couple of trees
Made from PVC
Let the rain fall
Against our windows
Let the time fall
In our minds
Let the flowers
In our garden
Let them grow
beneath our feet
And the years
Are getting shorter
And moonlight
Fills my eyes
When I´m sad
I think about you
When I´m gone
I can tell you I am bound

Der Weg der Lämmer
03:14
|
|||
Schau auf den Weg der Lämmer
Sie ziehen zum Schlachthof hin
Ein Abschied ist es für immer
Sie werden das Messer sehen
Und auch heute ist es nicht anders
Auch heute ist alles wie sonst
Schau auf den Weg der Lämmer
Sie ziehen zum Schlachthof hin
Sie ziehen zum Schlachthof hin
Schau auf den Weg der Armen
Sie ziehen zum Wohlfahrtsamt
Sie hoffen auf das Erbarmen
Der Herrscher in diesem Land
Und auch heute ist es nicht anders
Auch heute ist alles wie sonst
Schau auf den Weg der Armen
Sie ziehen zum Wohlfahrtsamt
Sie ziehen zum Wohlfahrtsamt
Schau auf den Weg der Irren
Sie ziehen in die Psychiatrie
Sie lassen sich dort einsperren
Doch Heilung finden sie nie
Und auch heute ist es nicht anders
Auch heute ist alles wie sonst
Schau auf den Weg der Irren
Sie ziehen in die Psychiatrie
Sie ziehen in die Psychiatrie
Sie ziehen in die Psychiatrie

This Silver Mine
03:38
|
|||
There´s a big dark mine
In the backyard of the city
That´s where I stay
From time to time
And we are all
Diggers for gold here
Sometimes we´re lost
In this silver mine
And some are here
They keep us in line
And some are here
They can give us the whip
Sometimes I think
They don´t know what they´re doing
No-one herein
Has committed a crime
Come with me and share the smoke
And we´ll talk about the love
To the earth
And to the worlds beyond
Yes I know that we are dreamers
And we´ll never change
Change the way
We love to touch the sky
But when we ride
Our nightwinged horses
Cross the desert lands
And the lonesome plains
We´ll reach the sun
Long before daybreak
And in no time at all
We´ll be back again
Come with me and share the smoke
And we´ll talk about the love
To the earth
And to the worlds beyond
Yes I know that we are dreamers
And we´ll never change
Change the way
We love to touch the sky

Shake Hands
02:32
|
|||
Shake hands
With the unknown soldier
Fight for freedom
In the wasted lands
Build up the tribes
And the laws of tomorrow
We´re on a mission
That will never end
There is a couple
Of hidden bandits
I don´t know
What they´re fighting for
We´ve got our guns
And our bags to carry
Heavy load
Is coming down from above
We build it up
And then we break it all down
That´s just the way
The world is turning
It´s nothing worth
To look into the future
When you forget
Where you´re coming from
It´s nothing worth
To look into the future
When you forget
Where you´re coming from
But in the end
We are always fighting
Against nothing
But ourselves
There ain´t no guns
There ain´t no soldiers
That´s just my mind
Running wild
We build it up
And then we break it all down
That´s just the way
The world is turning
It´s nothing worth
To look into the future
When you forget
Where you´re coming from
We build it up
And then we break it all down
That´s just the way
The world is turning
It´s nothing worth
To look into the future
When you forget
Where you´re coming from
It´s nothing worth
To look into the future
When you forget
Where you´re coming from

Magischer Moment
02:53
|
|||
Ein magischer Moment nur
Die Welt dort draußen steht still
Keiner muss zur Arbeit
Jeder tut nur das, was er will
Kein Morgen mehr, kein Gestern
Wir leben jetzt und für den Augenblick
Alles das, was zählt, ist vergangen
Und du kriegst `nen anderen Blick
Auf die Dinge, die da waren
Auf die Dinge, die da sind
Auf den Ursprung aller Wesen
Die da waren, die da sind
Auf den Schöpfer jeden Ursprungs
Der da war und der da ist
Auf die Liebe, auf den Schlüssel
Der das Tor zur Welt aufschließt
Hungrig nach Gefühlen
Doch satt von einem Ton
Gerechtigkeit auf Erden
Du wartest auf den falschen Lohn
Einsamkeit der Preis
Den du für deine Liebe bezahlst
Doch schau nicht zurück
Schau auf die Dinge, die du magst
Auf die Dinge, die da waren
Auf die Dinge, die da sind
Auf den Ursprung aller Wesen
Die da waren, die da sind
Auf den Schöpfer jeden Ursprungs
Der da war und der da ist
Auf die Liebe, auf den Schlüssel
Der das Tor zur Welt aufschließt
Auf die Dinge, die da waren
Auf die Dinge, die da sind
Auf den Ursprung aller Wesen
Die da waren, die da sind
Auf den Schöpfer jeden Ursprungs
Der da war und der da ist
Auf die Liebe, auf den Schlüssel
Der das Tor zur Welt aufschließt

Right And Wrong
02:57
|
|||
The light is dimmed
Winter has come
The shadows are about to appear
The morning, it is cold
The evening is dark
Snowflakes are dancing in the air
It´a wonderful moment
For loving your creator
It´s just a wonderful world
The riders, they are riding
The smokers, they do smoke
We look into the future
And see that there is hope
That the evil may get better
And the man might see the light
Together with their women
That they might stop the fight
Between right and wrong
Between us and ourselves
Between right and wrong
Between us and ourselves
Now we´re waiting for
A new morning to come
We´re waiting for love to appear
Now it is spoken the word
That can free us from anger
The only key to the world
It´a wonderful moment
For loving your creator
It´s just a wonderful world
The riders, they are riding
The smokers, they do smoke
We look into the future
And see that there is hope
That the evil may get better
And the man might see the light
Together with their women
That they might stop the fight
Between right and wrong
Between us and ourselves
Between right and wrong
Between us and ourselves
The light is dimmed
Winter has come
The shadows are about to appear
The morning, it is cold
The evening is dark
Snowflakes are dancing in the air
It´a wonderful moment
For loving your creator
It´s just a wonderful world
The riders, they are riding
The smokers, they do smoke
We look into the future
And see that there is hope
That the evil may get better
And the man might see the light
Together with their women
That they might stop the fight
Between right and wrong
Between us and ourselves
Between right and wrong
Between us and ourselves

Reach Out
03:51
|
|||
Reach out for her light
Her hair of red and gold
And she turned to me
And she put her arms
Around my neck
And I´ve laid beside her
And I have touched her
With my hands
And when I tried
Sometimes I reached her
With my mind
And when I tried
Sometimes I reached her
With my mind
Reach out for her ears
There are promises to keep
But she turned away
Forsaken the day
I saw the light
The lights of the world
They were of no colour
I closed my eyes
And when I tried
I could not reach her
With my mind
And when I tried
I could not reach her
With my mind
Now reach out for her dreams
These things you can´t forget
But when I saw you
After all this time
I turned away
And if I could love you
Forever and ever
I would not say
But when I tried
Sometimes I reached her
With my dreams
Oh yes, I have tried
Sometimes we reached us
With our dreams

Sheltering Harbour
03:11
|
|||
So don´t you hear
What the wind is talking
Don´t you look
Into the setting sun
Don´t you see
Where the gods are walking
Don´t you know
I´m on the run
But I´m still looking
For a sheltering harbour
Far out on the open sea
Still rowing
My boat is a-drifting
There´s a current
That takes me away
And the clouds
They melt into sun
And the clouds
They melt into sun
And the clouds
They melt into sun
So row your boat
The Armoured Shiver
Share the breeze
With the seagull´s wings
Heave the sails
Turn back to the river
Where the waters are
Sweeter than wine
But I´m still looking
For a sheltering harbour
Far out on the open sea
Still rowing
My boat is a-drifting
There´s a current
That takes me away
And the clouds
They melt into sun
And the clouds
They melt into sun
And the clouds
They melt into sun
So don´t you hear
What the wind is talking
Don´t you look
Into the setting sun
Don´t you see
Where the gods are walking
Don´t you know
I´m on the run
But I´m still looking
For a sheltering harbour
Far out on the open sea
Still rowing
My boat is a-drifting
There´s a current
That takes me away
And the clouds
They melt into sun
And the clouds
They melt into sun
And the clouds
They melt into sun

A Better Place
03:57
|
|||
Must be a century ago
I was astonished
About the way
He turned into a snake
But in the way
He raised his head
You could see
That he was broken
When he thought
That he was thinking
About his thoughts
Say goodbye to the world
Bye to the people
Innocence is lost
And your heart is bound in chains
Comes a time
When you´re thinking
Comes a time
When you know
What you feel is what you get
And yo can put it all
In your shoes
In your shoes
All in your shoes
In your shoes
Heard about the age
That now should be arising
All the wars, all those tears
All those money
They´re dealing with the death
They´re dealing with the devil
And some of them are liars
And some must be blind
Say goodbye to the world
Bye to the people
Innocence is lost
And your heart is bound in chains
Comes a time
When you´re thinking
Comes a time
When you know
What you feel is what you get
And yo can put it all
In your shoes
In your shoes
All in your shoes
In your shoes
There´s a better place for you
Said the joker to the sinner
As he turned and smiled
Pointing out the door
With your heart between your legs
And the fingers on the button
You cannot count on
What is left of my old bones
Say goodbye to the world
Bye to the people
Innocence is lost
And your heart is bound in chains
Comes a time
When you´re thinking
Comes a time
When you know
What you feel is what you get
And yo can put it all
In your shoes
In your shoes
All in your shoes
In your shoes

Trains Coming In
01:47
|
|||
Trains coming in
Trains going out
I got my suitcase
And I got no doubt
That this is the answer
To all the stupid questions
That need to be asked
`Til the world stops turning round
Heaven is above me
Earth is under my feet
Life is just a swinger club
Where we kindly meet
And we all are out of fashion
We´re from another school
We cannot share the passion
We all indeed are fools
Oh please awake me
From these bad dreams
Life is a mirror
And we´re actors on a screen
You don´t need to tell me
Any of your needs
Sometimes there´s a turning point
We all need to be freed
And we´re riding down the river
The endless river of time
We´re coming back in circles
To the aims we call divine
And the river is a mirror
And every face is you
They´re telling you the secrets
That once belonged to you
Trains coming in
Trains going out
I got my suitcase
But I got no doubt
That this is the answer
To all the stupid questions
That need to be asked
`Til the world stops turning round
`Til the world stops turning round
`Til the world stops turning round

War
02:43
|
|||
See the little soldier there
He´s only eight years old
Carrying his machine gun
Fighting for his lord
This lord is not from heaven
This lord is not from hell
It´s just another warlord
Who rings the iron bell of
War, just war
It is war, just war
In the world, it is war
Just war in the world
War in the world
War in the world
Watch the marine soldier there
He´s educated well
Carrying his luggage
To a foreign land
Some people there got angry
They fought the regime down
And now the troops have landed
To fight the enemy with
War, just war
It is war, just war
In the world, it is war
Just war in the world
War in the world
War in the world
As long as nothing matters
But might and gold and war
You cannot stop the battle
Between the rich man and the poor
So hurry up, you little lads
And throw away your guns
Wipe away the bloody dirt
That covers your small heart with
War, just war
It is war, just war
In the world, it is war
Just war in the world
War in the world
War in the world

Maybe In Heaven
02:04
|
|||
No, I´m not talking `bout you
Though it touches me, too
All the time that has gone
No, I´m not sure you´re the one
To give me pleasure, give me satisfaction
The price would be too high
Let us look for another attraction
Maybe in heaven or in the skies
And from my point of view
I still believe in you
There never was no fight
Only some kind of night
To give me darkness, give me desperation
The price was really high
Started to look for another relation
Maybe in heaven or in the skies
Oh yes, I´m talking `bout you
I think you´re feeling it, too
All the time that has gone
No I don´t think you´re the one
To give me hope, give me understanding
The price would be too high
Let us look for another connection
Maybe in heaven or in the skies

Das Ende der Welt
03:18
|
|||
Machen Sie keine Scherze
Das ist das Ende der Welt
Wir füttern unsere Nerze
Mit sauer verdientem Geld
Mir gehört auf der Welt fast gar nichts
Außer einer Tüte mit Gras
Und einer alten Wasserpfeife
Aus ausbruchsicherem Glas
Sie braucht neue Klamotten
Er braucht einen BMW
Männer wollen immer nur f***en
Doch wir wollen THC
Mir gehört auf der Welt fast gar nichts
Außer einer Tüte mit Gras
Und einer alten Wasserpfeife
Aus ausbruchsicherem Glas
Hab ich nun Depressionen
Oder einen dicken Kopf
Manchmal muss man sich belohnen
Gott sei Dank hab ich noch Stoff
Mir gehört auf der Welt fast gar nichts
Außer einer Tüte mit Gras
Und einer alten Wasserpfeife
Aus ausbruchsicherem Glas
Man sollte nicht zu viel denken
Ans ein oder andere Problem
Der liebe Gott, der wird’s schon lenken
Und wir machen´s uns bequem
Mir gehört auf der Welt fast gar nichts
Außer einer Tüte mit Gras
Und einer alten Wasserpfeife
Aus ausbruchsicherem Glas
