angel

when one night the skies cracked open
and the clouds were tumbling down
I just looked out of my window
something out there made me frown

thousand angels fell from heaven
towards the earth or towards hell
man had to rescue one out of seven
how or why no-one could tell

caught one angel in my dream
and I held her very tight
hoping she would stay with me
together we would be all right

opening my eyes in the morning
I hardly dare to look around
seeing that you are still with me
makes me happy, makes me proud

you're my angel
you're my angel

I feel - I live

floating from the darkness
heading for the light
a thought appears from nowhere
settling in my mind

I feel - I live

I try to move my fingers
I try to use my mind
trying to remember
there's nothing I can find

I feel - I live

there must have been a past
though it's lost in a haze
there surely is a future
though hidden in a maze

I feel - I live

 

passage

(I) sort of live in the future
I've not lived in the past
don't know 'bout the present
I'm afraid it might last

here in my seashell
all I see is the walls
the shell is so tiny
I've grown too tall

(I) prayed for my salvation
nobody came
I'm looking for someone
who I could blame

(I) can't stand the daylight
hate to live in the dark
I'd like to live on the ocean
where I could drift in my bark

I've grown old, I'm a man, I am not a child
I can hear the people say I've got to find my way
Far away there's a land where my dreams grow wild
far away a helping hand is leading me astray

if I could see the future
what would I see?
when I look in the mirror
all I see is me

I'm looking for someone
in need of a friend
if nobody loves me
it might be the end

Far away there's a land where my dreams grow wild
far away a helping hand is leading me astray

a place to live

the streets are deserted
big money has gone
nature's been perverted
destruction has won

industrial wastes
float towards the sea
a human wreck hastens
he's trying to flee

trying to catch a healthy dream
of a place where one could live
where between humanity
and nature there's a take and give

don't drink the water
don't breathe the air
this place is polluted
'cause nobody cared

trying to catch a healthy dream
of a place where one could live
where between humanity
and nature there's a take and give

 

round table

I've tried it all but I cannot forget you
you keep on coming on my mind these days
I know it was a mistake that I left you
how I regret that we've gone different ways!

small wonder that you've found another
you were supposed to overcome your pain
I like your guy - he could have been my brother
now I am here - standing in the rain

I dream of you
I long for you
wished there was some way
to make you mine
make you forgive
and forget that pain

I'd grant you all the freedom you'd require
my longing's pretty desperate, you see
you're the only thing that I desire
I wished there was some chance for you and me

I even would accept a threesome
just so that I could be close to you
I'd do my best to overcome my jealousy
whatever you would ask for I would do

I dream of you
I long for you
wished there was some way
to make you mine
make you forgive
and love me again

say, why can't we meet at a round table
discuss all options comprehensively
be open for all possibilities
(as long _ as they're including me)

I dream of you
I long for you
wished there was some way
to make you mine
make you forgive
and live with me again

Sabrina

when our eyes met I felt that something was quite wrong
you looked so very young and cute, and yet you were so strong
my mind was in a turmoil, and I cursed that very day
you said I need not worry 'cause love always finds a way

Sabrina, you took me by the hand
you said you'd lead me to another land
where our love could survive
where we'd not have to hide
you know how I feel:
if this land was real
I would follow you through the end

I tried to hide my feelings, but I fell into despair
surrendering to my longing I just knew I was not fair
but I yearned to be close to you, I could not keep away
I knew how very wrong things looked, I knew what they would say

Sabrina, you took me by the hand
you said you'd lead me to another land
where our love could survive
where we'd not have to hide
you know how I feel:
if this land was real
I would follow you through the end

will we find a way?
will we find a way out?
I want to wipe out that day
I want to resolve all doubt

Sabrina, you took me by the hand
you said you'd lead me to another land
where our love could survive
where we'd not have to hide
you know how I feel:
if this land was real
I would follow you through the end

 

summer night

the sun is out, it's warm and bright
forget the cold, enjoy the light
summer fete - stay out at night
have some fun, it's all right
dance and music by torchlight
find a girl - hold her tight

warm summer night
everything feels all right
on a warm summer night

fun and parties everywhere
come out of your private lair
enjoy the night's warm summer air
your joy is doubled if it's shared
lay by the girl for who you care
touch her skin, sniff her hair

warm summer night ...

lying in your arm
nothing can do me harm
on a warm summer night

holidays by the sea
charge you with new energy
no time for trouble, here you're free
be who you've always wished to be
lie in the shadow of a tree
which guards your dreams and makes you see

warm summer night ...

I've surrendered to your charms
and leave my worries in your arms
your presence makes - me believe
life can be a warm summer night

lying nude in the spray
on the beach of the cay
live your life your own way
never mind what others say
what feels good is okay
seize the night, seize the day

warm summer night ...

declare a young and pretty teen
for tonight your fairy queen
show her things she's never seen,
places where she's never been
these young cuties are so keen
to gain experience, being so green

warm summer night ...

virtual world

you've browsed the web
since must've been ages
reality is far away
trash to download
and banner ads
right there to wash your stupid brain

clicking through a virtual world
eating virtual burgers in your virtual life
chatting with a virtual girl
not knowing whether you have got the gender right
spending all your time
clicking though the net
hanging on the line
you're getting what you get
you're living in a virtual world

is it dark or light?
do you really know?
or have you lost your sense of time?
what kind of site?
is it multimedia?
or is it just commercial slime?

clicking through a virtual world
eating virtual burgers in your virtual life
chatting with a virtual girl
not knowing whether you have got the gender right
lost in space and time
caught within the net
sharing private thoughts
with one you've never met
you're living in a virtual world

is it day or night?
how could you tell
spending all your time in the world wide web?
does it work out right?
do you feel the spell?
or is it time to quit it yet?

clicking through a virtual world
eating virtual burgers in your virtual life
chatting with a virtual girl
not knowing whether you have got the gender right
(you're) wasting half your youth
spending all your cash
mistaking lies for truth
devouring virtual trash
you're living in a virtual world

 

Vanity

Vanity, you do look old
the smooth skin of your youth got definitely stained
age spots and wrinkles where once a proud beauty reigned
there's no charm and no grace
in your old worn out face
you've lost your good looks - there is no denying
the time you've wasted is why you should be crying
Vanity, it feels so cold

Vanity, no use for gold
what once seemed important is of no use today
riches and elegance won't serve you on your way
let the past be the past
gold and silver won't last
your heirs will fight over what you will have left them
where you're headed to no-one will care for your gems
Vanity, you had been told

when you look in the mirror
you'll spot a disturbing shape
like a skull grinning at you
knowing there's no escape

Vanity, you look forlorn
you've had all the chances a human life provides
never you seized them, instead you swept them aside
you can't call back your youth
you can't fight off the truth
your fight against time's been lost from the beginning
when the last bell chimes you'll know there is no winning
Vanity, why should you scorn

Vanity
Vanity

Violet

in sleepless, restless nights
she tosses and she turns
is it some nameless fears
or that she just yearns
for things still opaque

she likes to touch herself
so she can feel the thrill
but the thoughts and images
keep making her chill
of what may be at stake

Violet in first bloom
it's spring and it's to soon to pick you
old hunter's smelling blood
patiently awaits his time
for the perfect shot

some dirty old bastard
will not yet contend
himself with the notion
that each life must end
while other lives thrive

he likes to touch himself
so he can feel the thrill
but he feels the urge
to fight, and to kill,
make love, and survive

Violet in first bloom ...

she presents herself
in a sexy short skirt
her lips are painted red
she enjoys alert
if lecherous stares

some mature guys flattery
is making her blush
he is such a kind man
someone you can trust
for an invitation

Violet in full bloom
still spring yet now it's time to pick you
old hunter has smelled blood
he knows he's waited long enough
for the final shot
