Did Anybody Know

A man is gone
Did anybody know him?
A man is gone
They say he was a sailor
A sailor round the world
A man of dark promises
A face as hard as stone.
Did anybody know him?
A man is gone

A woman is gone
Did anybody know her?
A woman is gone
They say she was a dancer
A dancer to the moon
A woman without traces
A body like a rose
Did anybody know her?
A woman is gone

The condemned are gone
Did anybody know them?
The condemned are gone
They wandered around the harbour
To alleviate the pain
To leave the world with nothing
Except the mark of Cain
Did anybody know them?
The condemned are gone

Did anybody know them?
Dead lovers in the room
Of this dirty ten pound palace
On a sunday afternoon
Did anybody know them?
Two soulmates died in gloom

Motel Light

I came a long way
To wonder about time
We never realized
Never realized
We adorned the sky
With water colours
Made of our lives

Now I´m sitting in our old room
In the motel of the nights long passed
And I try to remember you
In the pale light of the moon

Once more these shining bluebirds
Fluttering on the curtains
Always closed
To keep the world out
For some hours
To be one in tight embrace

And time goes by
Today I´m leaving our kingdom
To keep you in my mind
And I love you for a last time
To be free for a new life
And time goes by

Now I´m sitting in our old room
In the motel of the nights long passed
And I try to remember you
In the pale light of the moon
And time goes by...

Blind Mans Game

It´s the old game
Often played
It´s the old game
Most of the time
It is lost

I see your sign of regret
I know you hope to forget
I was scratching on your soul
I played the monkey role
So I was blind

It´s the old game
I often tried
To beat the sorry sight
Sometime enjoyed
But now
We try to save our souls

We used to play for high stakes
I thougt the sweet clash will never end
We played too much, we pretend, we cheat
We fenced all rounds
Until today
So we played too long
Seduced with love, tears or self-control
Now you know all my feints
But today, today

I see your sign of regret
I know you hope to forget
I was scratching on your soul
I played the monkey role
So I was blind

Counting Days

Counting days
Full of rain
Washing out the pain
To forget about your face
To repress and to erase

I gave you
My almost freezing heart
To keep it or treat it
My anxious beating part

I hoped for Some patience
For a silent warmer place
My girl what have I done to you
To fall in such disgrace?

Counting days
Full of rain
Washing out the pain
To forget about your face
To repress and to erase

Princess In A Nutshell

Emma missed something
Something in her life
But there is no wish
Nothing more to want
What about your restlessness?
Why do you bury your heart?

How long will you hang on
To be a princess in a nutshell
Going down the river
Never landing
Never staying

Emma loves someone
Someone she never met
A man of outstanding kind
Always on fire, always around
What about your dreaming?
Why don´t you follow your heart?

How long will you hang on
To be a princess in a nutshell
Going down the river
Never landing
Never staying

Take my hand now
Thin and scarred
The hand of a castaway
Will be your guard
I´ll pull you to my side
To a safe land
Where heaven is bright
Emma

How long will you hang on
To be a princess in a nutshell
Going down the river
Never landing
Never staying

King Size Town

At King Size Town
We prick your brother
At King Size Town
We rock your sister
At King Size Town
We smash your bones
At King Size Town
We kill your cat

Oh Baby, if you ever, ever leave me
I will kill ten Cops With your name on my lips
Get five bullets in the head and die

At King Size Town
We burn your house
At King Size Town
We crash your car
At King Size Town
We praise the devil
At King Size Town
We draw our guns

Take me away,
From this terrible place
From the pistol smoke
The gazing dead eyes
Leave the burned soil behind us
Let us run, run away

Oh Baby, if you ever, ever leave me
I will kill ten Cops With your name on my lips
Get five bullets in the head and die

Safe Inside Ourselves

Sarah, don´t believe their creeds
The places they showed us
Well prepared and clean
The words they spoke
No idea what it means
Sounding sweet to us

This isn´t the way As we see as we feel
This isn´t our truth
Their golden coin appeal
This isn´t the faith
As we love as we breathe
We are safe inside ourselves

Did you see their eyes?
Made of cold glass, did you see?
One day we will know
They lied to a high degree
Let´s escape from this place

They can´t bring us down
We are stronger than harm
We are stronger than seduction
We will fight for our fate
They can´t bring us down

This isn´t the way
As we see as we feel
This isn´t our truth
Their golden coin appeal
This isn´t the faith
As we love as we breathe
We are safe inside ourselves

She Flirts With Death

Youth is nothing
It´s the hidden enemy
Thanks to Burroughs
The father of the autumn ideas
Think about your darkest days
Fight your desolation
Sleep tonight in a bed of nails
Wait for me in silence

She flirts with death
Sharing her bed with her own blonde hair
Enslaved by a noble gift
She´s like a newborn in my arms

Mercy or malice
There is no return, you see
I cut out self-doubts
To be the man I´d like to be
I look to your black painted eyes
Searching for a sunbeam
I promise you a better place
Come with me tomorrow

She flirts with death
Sharing her bed with her own blonde hair
Enslaved by a noble gift
She´s like a newborn in my arms

Final Water

She was on fire
Always facing the wind
She still was a child
Touched by cold dirty hands
She gave her heart for men
Who where breaking her down
Donna lost herself
It was a short way to the ground

She breaks with all by the water
Floating slow
She takes all down to the water
To the flow

She washed the dirt from her wings
She cleaned her mind of the words
And when the white light came...

Her small covered soul
Dressed in veils of grief
Offering all her love
To find some truth in someone
Who shares her dreams
It was a short way down
To the final water

She washed the dirt from her wings
She cleaned her mind of the words
And when the white light came...

Never told, never told..

Today

Baby I leave you today
Don´t cry you know yourself
You never needed me
Don´t say it´s not true
This place is not our home since long ago
The wind blows round my hat
And the birds sing on my way
I have to save myself today

Search for another golden boy
Your own creature
A brandnew toy
I know my mystery is over
So what else can I be?
You don´t adore me anymore
So set me free

Your eyes seem withered today
But I leave to god knows where
For never coming back
The heaven so blue
Your screeming at me seems far away
The sun shines on my face
I was never as free as today
There is no one to betray

Search for another golden boy
Your own creature
A brandnew toy
I know my mystery is over
So what else can I be?
You don´t adore me anymore
So set me free

Walking

I walk today like I walked yesterday
The same will be tomorrow
My eyes fixed to the distance
Searching for a place to rest
And I walk
And I walk
I can’t stay here

The sky black with birds
Screaming out their fears their beaks are curved
Like my back at the end of the day
And I walk
And I walk
I can’t stay here

The city full of rushing people
Running for some money
Glaring lights in every window
The machine never sleeps
And I walk
And I walk
I can’t stay here

People screaming my name
Can´t remember their faces
I nod and run faster
To escape their circles
And I walk
And I walk
I can’t stay here

I pass all the strangers
Looking the same in every city
I know all of them
The forgotten desperates
And I walk
And I walk
I can’t stay here

I walk today like I walked yesterday
The same will be tomorrow
My eyes fixed to the distance
Searching for a place to rest

Your Little World

Leave me behind
I will be satisfied
There is no hope for us
Touch me inside
It will be alright
A comfort to both of us

I don´t want to be the sweet thing you need
While our days taste bitter every day

See the rain on the pane
I´m not the man to chain
Your sun cannot shine for us
Take the early train
The best way to escape
And don´t look back again

I don´t want to be the sweet thing you need
While our days taste bitter every day

Oh my dear
Your little world is not for me
If you want some happiness
Forget about my loneliness
Oh my dear
Your little world is not for me
And I´m not here
