Soap Bubble Dreams
05:29
|
|||
the crowd is ecstatic
the hands are lifted
a crowd of tools
a new messias
shines on us
and explains the rules
it is getting better
we climb all ladders
who gets fooled again
call it religion
or superstition
fill your boots
stroke the fears and
preach salvation
let the demons loose
it doesn‘t matter
we're deeply shattered
who gets fooled again
we travel in those trial balloons
soap bubble dreams that end too soon
when the last of us
reaches the gates of the moon
who gets fooled again

Wait
03:58
|
|||
can i keep my eyes closed today
cause i lost a piece of mine
and i feel somehow faceless today
i'm blindfolded and i need you by my side
one sunny day i met
an old friend so pale and thin
i had to get rid of him
before it gets under my skin
and it paralyses me so
wait a while my love
down in the shade before we walk
into the fields mile by mile
hand in hand until the end of our time
before the sunset ends
i wan't to fill my bag of life everyday
till someday the one eyed god
may walk over our graves
but for now i ask you to
wait a while my love
down in the shade before we walk
into the fields mile by mile
hand in hand until the end of our time
and we step into the unseen

The Man Who Went Away
04:12
|
|||
in his dreams his little world was on fire
but he felt safe in his hide-out
in the television news he found his dreams come alive
the man at the look-out in his hide-out
says now's the time for me
i gotta get away, get away from here
the rhythm of boots marching on the ground
kicks a pretty hole in his pretty cloud
he's gotta get away, get away from here
'cause what can you do when you're always quiet never loud
when you think that you are just a face in the crowd
the man at the look-out in his hide-out
says now's the time for me
i gotta get away, get away from here
the world you know dies from the inside out
the heavens gate is closed
gotta get away, get away from here
the man at the look-out in his hide-out
is always on the run
he's gotta get away, get away from here
he's looking for his island in the sun
the good old days are gone
he's gotta get away, get away from here
the man who went away is never done
in silence, always gone
he's gotta get away, get away from here
gotta get away

Leaves Of Grey
04:30
|

'hope is a waking dream'
aristotle said
sailing through the waves of time
'i have to keep my eyes closed'
the smart politician regrets:
'these are hard times'
on the eternal chessboard
young soldiers are marching on
where a hundred armies have fed the ground
while an army of selfie sticks
is floating pretty ancient stones
and the leaves of grey
are sealing the stained marble plates
are weaving a winding sheet
when the wisdom goes to seed
'hope is a waking dream'
aristotle said
'and don't forget that history
repeats itself,
you fools'
and the leaves of grey
are sealing the stained marble plates
weaving a winding sheet
where the wisdom goes to seed
they are hiding the inscription
on the philosopher's stone
they are caressing the kings and queens
ashes and bones
and the leaves of grey
are floating down to cover the remains
of what we think is our eternal flame

Romancero
03:44
|
|||
my inner is staring in the fireplace
come around and keep me from myself
i know you'll never let me down
and i don't know my way around here
because i wade through a surreal dream
and in my head
a band is playing a sweet melody
you are dancing like a fairy
to the sound of our destiny
can you spot me in my fairytale
let's walk the paths of our fate
don't realize what's going around
i have to reach higher ground
because i wade through a surreal dream
and in my head
a band is playing a sweet melody
you are dancing like a fairy
on the carousel of our destiny

Over It
04:42
|
|||
our hideaway in our favourite coastal dune
is waiting lonely in the morning dew
time is getting on long time no see
who are we when we are fancy free
when the whole world decides
to battle against you and me
we'll get over it, we have the clue
we'll get over it, me and you
when the whole world has conspired
against me and you
when it rains on us after travelling for hours to the sea
and we look like drown cats, welcome to the beach
when the bad hair days trying to grab me and you
and one thing comes to another in our underuse
when the whole world decides to battle against you and me
we'll get over it, we have the clue
we'll get over it, me and you
when the whole world has conspired against me and you
when we are cast away
when we listen with eyes closed to our favourite tune
then we'll find our footsteps in our favourite dune
we'll get over it, we have the clue
we'll get over it, me and you
we'll find our footsteps
in our favourite sand dune

Beautiful Delay
04:46
|
|||
how soon can you be here
i'm in need of our own sphere
you're in my mind
the way you make me feel
is like overhelming space
and time
with you i want to dive in
this beautiful delay
you've got what i need
i feel your energy
like an inner fire
our spaceship of love
flies timeless through the universe
of our desire
with you i want to dive in
this beautiful delay
i close my eyes it takes my breath away
in weightlessness we are one and so we stay
till it fades away
with a beautiful delay
let's take our spaceship right now
let's dive in right now in this beautiful delay
into this beautiful delay

Higher And Away
05:19
|
|||
i’m not here today
i’m outside of the range
of all the operating dates
walking upside down
caused a heavenly breakdown
in the happy hunting ground
we could leave at dead of night
we’re just like daytime fireflies
we're going
higher and away
we shine our light out into our days
higher and away
maybe we’ll be back soon but not today
and if this point of view
does not match the clues
in the book of economic dues
the world will not go insane
more than it is today
so are you on your way
we could leave at dead of night
we’re just like daytime fireflies
we're going
higher and away
we shine our light out into our days
higher and away
maybe we’ll be back soon but not today

On My Way Home
04:21
|

i can feel the heartbeat
of the rivers song
it is flowing down to places
i used to know
so near as if i were never gone
i'm on my way home
i'm on the road today
i'm on my way home
and the distance fades away
every mile a trip
down memory lane
a close-up view
when the sky is bright
the shadows are wide
and they walk with you
as the one you left behind
when you were gone
i'm on my way home
i'm on the road today
i'm on my way home
and the distance fades away
and when i left all this
i got no clue about it
gone days are never gone

Who Gets Fooled Again
06:01
|
|||
the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway
of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet
with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?
who gets fooled again
in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing
with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee
your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home
who gets fooled again
