Try again
04:17
|
|||
|
Come inside
and sit right there
it’s easier to drink than to fill your cup
come shelter your heart from the storm outside
so we can try hard and then try again
Help yourself
take off your load
these tons of illusions you’re living by
and people are easy to reach out to
if you always try hard and then try again
You should try again
And then try again
And try again
And try again
And try again

Behind the tree
04:07
|
|||
|
Found a bird on the pavement
it said „save me!“
and i hated you for it
you’re just a misunderstanding
that I’ve been planning
from the beginning
I LOOK UP TO THE HEAVENS
AND I BREATH IN
AND I BREATH OUT
I NEED A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS
WHILE I’M HIDING BEHIND THE TREE
BREATH IN
BREATH OUT
I’m surrounded by flames
and there is smoke in the landscape
well i hate you for it
what an odd situation
so i’m hiding
behind the tree
I LOOK UP TO THE HEAVENS
AND I BREATH IN
AND I BREATH OUT
I NEED A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS
WHILE I’M HIDING BEHIND THE TREE
BREATH IN
BREATH OUT
I need a set of instructions
while i’m hiding
behind the tree

Uh, uh, all the damage done again
Uh, uh, all the damage done again
It took me so long to come up with it
and then i googled it
abbreviations
takin’ too much time to come to me
such a busy bee, that’s me here
don’t get me wrong
it’s taking too long
even riding my horse out of town
i say so long
i’m saying so long
I’m getting ready to screw it all up
uh, uh, all the damage done again
uh, uh, all the damage done again
It took me so long to wake up to it
now you’ve disappeared, oh dear
It took you too much time to talk to me
now i disagree
negotiations!!
don’t get me wrong
it’s taking too long
now i’m counting my days on the throne
I say so long
I’m saying so long
I’m getting ready to get it all wrong
uh, uh, all the damage done again
uh, uh, all the damage done again
uh, uh, sinking battleships again
uh, uh, what and what is all this then

Stuck in Paradise
05:36
|
|||
|
Please tell me what matters
I won’t tell the others
but anyhow good still comes around
I’m light as a feather
no one dares to fool around with me
my wings unfold but they touch the ground
but still carry me away
baby you don’t see me no more
because i’m stuck in paradise
baby you don’t see me no more
this night’s just a shadow
a b-side as far as i know
but anyhow good still comes around
how dare you remember
the good and the tender and so on and on and on
i rode these horses to the back of my head
still they carry me away
baby you don’t see me no more...

No more sunrises
04:09
|
|||
|
You’re right, let’s not talk about it
no „true love waits“-stuff
and besides no more sunrises for me here
So now there’s the sea to cross here
a worldwide campaign against myself
but let’s not talk about it
it’s you there and only me here
Well I hoped
to be a parallel line
moving in the same kind direction
but no more sunrises
for me here
it’s full of bees here
it’s so cynical

Girl you’ve got to thrill me
you need to fill me up inside
girl you’ve got to thrill me
you’ve got to thrill me
you’ve got to thrill me
you need to fill me up
Lying on my back like Gregor Samsa
I´m off the tracks since I met you
like a soft bodied beetle
caught in an antlion sand trap
lying on my back
my reception of the world
is curled like the back of an embryo
with my feet in the air
nervously trembling
since I met you

The secret song
03:36
|
|||
|
Your love’s driving me home
your love’s keeping me safe
your love helps me to cope
your love’s hungry for more
your love’s trying to help
your love’s holding me close
your love’s turning me on
your love keeps everything new
it's a secret
the the secret song
your love shows me the way
your love’s keeping me warm
your love’s keeping me safe
Your love’s driving me home
it's a secret
it's the secret song

Into the whirlpool
05:23
|
|||
|
in this whirlpool
we're being thrown in at our birth
i struggle to swim
so i dive, far below the surface of
that turmoil we're in
fabled creatures
unseen colours cross my way
i wonder with glee
take a swim
i am waiting for you
come and wonder with me
"Abruptly the poker of memory stirs the ashes of recollection and uncovers a forgotten ember, still smoldering down there, still hot, still glowing, still red as red.
The colors of the underwater rock are as pale and delicate as those in the wardrobe of an 18th-century marchioness"
into the whirlpool
jump into the whirlpool

Here’s a transmission from me to you
(almost a million miles away)
on a mission to save the day
my head is up in the clouds i
only need a place to crash
I wanna shine shine shine
I wanna shine on you
I wanna shine shine shine on you
Here’s a transmission from me to you
feels like a million miles away
although you’re living just down the road
i haven’t heard from you since i
really need that place to crash
Sending emergency calls out
(a thousand times a day)
aiming at your mobile radio
i’m kind of lost in the airwaves
i really need you by my side
Could someone please turn a light on....
I wanna shine shine shine for you
....

hey, i only wanted to bind
what’s left to bind
i never thought you would mind, no no
well, there’s just a fragment i need
but i don’t have a degree
in your romantic archeology
archeology
my apologies
my apologies
now, we’re only relics and stones
hieroglyphics and bones
ancient thoughts on the phone, oh no
there’s just a fragment i need
but i don’t have a degree
in your romantic archeology
archeology
my apologies
my apologies
