Don´t do anything at all just sit under a tree and meditate The passing people give you a glass of water or something to eat Sometimes you fall asleep and dream of making love Those times you feel so ashamed, so weak, but filled with lust It´s just a change man From one suffering situation to another Purity of thought makes the transcendental awakening Virtue and honor, you´re a failure if you leave the road And if you talk any nonsense with your master, a shadow will hide the brightness of your soul Be proud like a soldier, make you higher, look downwards at the foolishness It´s just a change man From one suffering situation to another Sometimes you fall asleep and dream of making love Those times you feel so ashamed, so weak, but filled with lust

This morning I woke up to my automatic television For seven days they played the same old stupid song that also put me to sleep. Zzzzz… Brainwash. The same pathetic stars that stands for nothing that you could call honesty, is always there for you Day and night and inside out at your service Is this what life´s about? Went into a store to buy a paper, I see one face all over the place It´s always so exciting. because a new week means a new face I throw up when you throw down yourself and pose and pretend Do you know what you are - a cover boy I think that´s the way you wanted it to go You can´t even get me off Writers who only wants to be a good-looking dancin´ singing fool don´t seem to care that they´re just tools in the big advertising circus They are really good at duplicate the good ones They´re only in it for the money Playback, join the partyzone. Sex appeal in every home I´m sure that I can live without it And you can live without it too I throw up when you throw down yourself and pose and pretend Do you know what you are - a cover boy I think that´s the way you wanted it to go Dear sweet artist, it´s not your own fault but you belong to the world of your dreams, your infantile dreams Eternal love is here for you because you are a sexy but pathetic superstar (…and that is really what they want…) I throw up when you throw down yourself and pose and pretend Do you know what you are - a cover boy I think that´s the way you wanted it to go La-la-la-la

It´s two years since your tragedy I haven´t got the chance to know you When I met you on the sidewalk the sorrow in your eyes was replaced by love You are delightful my gentle red I heard you´re flying to New York tonight You said you´d send me a postcard or two greetings from your famous friends they´re kind but always acting, gentle red I´m happy to see that your energy always is fluorescent and lightens up the shadows You are so delightful my friend. gentle red I kissed you goodbye far to early Sure we´ll meet some other time

I hope your cheap little finger don´t push the "red" and your industrial friends can get some hard treatment that will make them scream: -We´re not the last ones. We´re not the last ones We´re not the last Open up your eyes and see the world go round and round For a couple of billion years it´s been quite a routine for her You little narrow-minded man dressed in colored ties got some new, hot destructive bomb or disease? Moneymaking, experimenting No one gave you love and you keep up the same attitude We used to take everything for granted The world is suffering, we should stop acting like we were the last ones here We´re not the last ones Open up your eyes and you will feel the pain But wipe away your tears, it´s nice to be naked in the rain I know it could be frightening, but have no fear I don´t think you should trust dear Mr. Leary Wild views in red, panic in hell You better get high on your inner flame It will never be the same Respect yourself, relax and use your ears Listen to the magic wind It´s time for you to go! Open up your eyes and see the world go round and round For a couple of billion years it´s been quite a routine for her You little narrow-minded man dressed in colored ties got some new, hot destructive bomb or disease? Moneymaking, experimenting No one gave you love and you keep up the same attitude We used to take everything for granted The world is suffering, we should stop acting like we were the last ones here We´re not the last ones. We´re not the last ones We´re not the last Open up your eyes and see the world go round and round

He was young and so depressed He ran a knife into his chest He started to scream: - I want to live! But the wish came far to late But after a year in heaven, discorporated and free, he misses the pain of unanswered love Being immortal is quite boring and dull The absence of flesh and blood is driving him crazy He wants to go inside a new body All the flowers disappear if you stop to take your dreams for real Lovers lust and Buster´s booze still gives you a chance to fly and feel Rule your rules and let them rust so the love will grow without dust When it comes then you will find new dimensions let them through and let them guide She was guiding everyone to harmony and love But she couldn´t sleep, didn'´t analyze her dreams that was dealing with drowning on a horseback and killing snakes In fact she was the only one untouched by her own mission Her lovely daughter, never seen or heard, left with a broken heart Daily screams of agony, she was like a big mistake in her mothers career Fifteen years old and already a junkie All the flowers disappear if you stop to take your dreams for real Lovers lust and Buster´s booze still gives you a chance to fly and feel Rule your rules and let them rust so the love will grow without dust When it comes then you will find new dimensions let them through and let them guide For you, to you. Try and you will find I see another picture here The desillusioned man looking into the empty glass without the slightest touch of the pictured womens lips which he needs so…. All the flowers disappear if you stop to take your dreams for real Lovers lust and Buster´s booze still gives you a chance to fly and feel If you ever get lost, let me be your guide This is my lie

Kneel down, say your prayer Forget about your soul Let the pope turn you on Kneel down, say your prayer Forget about your soul See how they run How they place themselves in an endless hole until the love arrives Dreaming of Miss E.. I was young and I was fat, had a snake like a scarf around my neck Her dress reminded me of blood, running through the sky It looks like she is here to show me some legs Still I am living in the land of temptation But soon I gonna wonder why love went out of fashion Hide your love away. Forget about your soul Let the pope turn you on Kneel down, say your prayer. Forget about your soul You better hide your love away Forget about your sex You better hide your love away Forget about your sex You better kneel down, you better kneel down See how they run Like zombie machines on their way to the bitter loveless end See how they smile, prominent kings and princesses and popes and fools over you There will come a time when God decides to show us the truth of Garden E It´s like the sexual revolution thing baby, aaahh Religion can always save you boy But in a way it´s like putting yourself in chains No no no don´t enjoy life Kneel down, say your prayer Forget about your soul Let the pope turn you on Kneel down, say your prayer Forget about your soul You better hide your love away Forget about your sex Kneel down / repeat /

Your face fades away. Crystal eyes shine on me with all the stars in my universal dark You dream of your sons, the light and the dark Their plastic skin reflects your fear Oh my friends, you see one side and you always forget I´m scared baby Everybody lies and you always gonna be alone Alone The powerful men have a price on your head They don´t even care if we all were dead They cheat every day and kill with a smile I don´t know what happens to the world My inside is hurt. Truth and justice, peace and all my hopes vanish up in the air Love, this strange thing. I wonder what it is It´s like, - Mother, where are you? You, where are you, in my universal dark You want to be seen. You want to hide The acting is over, talk to me Are you fed up with the big lie? I just can´t stand their smiling ugliness But I don´t believe that everybody lies and you always gonna be alone alone The powerful men have a price on your head They don´t even care if we all were dead They cheat every day and kill with a smile I don´t know what happens to the world My inside is hurt. Truth and justice, peace and all my hopes vanish up in the air They don´t, they don´t, they don´t, they don´t even care

There´s no words left to sing Got nothing to say and that´s okay Listen to the silence. Don´t make a noise And you will hear things you never heard before People talk, talk to much. What are we saying? You say anything to get ahead You try to give, nobody receives it But you keep on giving Giving is the most important gift you can get Words mean everything to some of us It´s a religion without a body Every day words are misused The liar and intriguer always win the game It´s hard to express what you feel Misunderstanding. Confusion and pain Words can be wonderful If you stand by what you have said Make it clearly when you know what to do, and to say It´s nice to be in love and hear : - I love you I see it in your eyes There´s no words left to sing

I want to have my face operated, looking just like you God, he´s cute with his nose dangling down I want to kiss him now I´m an ugly alien to you I´m so bored with ordinary human beings acting like they were special Wish I could marry you and leave with the ship to outer space Reconcile with our destiny Let the galaxy inspire our new race I love the mankind on this planet earth, wish I could stay Why do you bother with this ugly mess, we better fly away My people don´t even have a sun I can understand it, but it´s peaceful and you won´t miss the guns Wish I could marry you and leave with the ship to outer space Reconcile with our destiny Let the galaxy inspire our new race Wars still going on Universe is a cold place without the warmth of love It´s so meaningless and so sad What do you do when you fight for freedom? Help me please! Come in my arms! Let us dangle with our noses, a dance of deprave Dance on the beach On the beach, in the sun Well my darling, time is running out. We better make a choice Now I know my passion is in the atmosphere, I want a ticket to the moon Sorry, but I want to stay here I don´t think you love me anymore Wish I could marry you and leave with the ship to outer space Reconcile with our destiny Let the galaxy inspire our new race

We were so happy when we fell in love Everything was so easy, no need for any friends But after a while you met another guy and left me Help me now, I can never ever live without you I better kill myself Cannot even talk or walk, sleep or weep You are gone, I will never ever see you again How could I be so stupid? Believe that we love each other all my life? Back in the good old days when every feeling was new we trusted each other, you were almost like a mother But playing that part became a hateful practice it was not your style You always knew what to do and to say I denied my jealousy Hold me tight, I can never ever live without you I better kill myself Cannot even talk or walk, sleep or weep You are gone, I will never ever see you again I know we have been stressed and depressed for a very long time, in fact it´s been to much pressure on us I can not remember when we last have a laugh You were my artificial respiration, how could I believe in such a drag? Where is the "why" ? We used to talk about babies, at least of their names perhaps a salvation for our little "nation" (an empty place of vacuum created exclusively of early memories) It seems to me that I have a romantic belief that´s a little bit naive Help me now, I can never ever live without you I better kill myself Cannot even talk or walk, sleep or weep You are gone, I will never ever see you again How could I be so stupid? I just want to have a romance with you I must be naive in my belief Hold me tight, I can never live without you Help me now, I will never see you again

Here he is, the one you´ve been waiting for so long, he cannot sing or dance, can´t even talk, no one understands a word Well…He wants to be a dictator gonna rule your world, your mind, your body he thinks he´s so sexy and polite Girl, he never ever calls you a bitch I want to communicate Scream my name and raise your hand, the secret sign up in the air Wave to each other. Jump up and down brothers Sexy girls, if you´re looking for a lover man you better call me I never call you bitch cause I love my mother too much Here I am, the king and emperor Obey my will, kiss my feet and suck my thumb Scream my name and raise your hand, the secret sign up in the air You are the chosen ones The Morning Star shines on you til you can´t breathe or wanna die If you don´t believe me please give me a call and I show you some new different emotions I´ll make you come to heaven or hell It doesn´t matter because I´m not a star, I´m a galaxy! Please unite my dark holes! He has never grown old, he´s still a four-year old boy afraid of everything. Can never relax, he´so uptight, can´t even breathe He never smiles or laughs, have no sense of humor, look like a croco-crocodile Watch out baby! Here he is - Mr. Dumb & Dull! I´m the only answer to your questions and your thoughts The eternal spirit of all bodies in the universe Scream my name and raise your hand The secret sign in the air Wave to each other my brothers in your funky underwear You are the chosen ones The Morning Star, or Lucifer if you prefer If you don´t believe me please give me a call and I show you some new different emotions I´ll make you come to heaven or hell It doesn´t matter because I´m not a star, I´m a galaxy! Please unite my dark holes! I am your God Oh oh, baby baby

I´m sick and tired of all stupid one-way thinking If they looking for trouble, that´s the best way there is If they never cross the road, there´s no solutions It´s just a dead end Dangerous to know the unknown Exterminate, or sterilize a whole population I wonder where that hate is coming from Up in the mountains, where these people live and die the heaven is screaming for help I wanna know what´s on your mind Don´t close your eyes, don´t run away Here we are, you and me I don´t know you, I don´t love you I´m a stranger, but you don´t have to run away or shout -"Stay out of my face!" You can climb your tree and feel so free Open up your hand and show me some respect "Don´t kill your baby" says the sign on the wall For women under oppression, this is reality They can be sold and raped Slaves without rights or protection If they (even) have a home Here we are, you and me I don´t know you, I don´t love you I´m a stranger, but you don´t have to run away or shout -"Stay out of my face!" You can climb your tree and feel so free Open up your hand and show me some respect Here we are, you can smile I don´t know you, I don´t love you That expression in your voice I open up my hand and show you some respect

My dear, don´t be afraid I´ll be here with you and you´ll be here with me, my friend Just be a little girl and play like you used to do when you were ten years old and your grandmother laughed with mom and dad at the sea, when you had your breakfast cup of tea. Now you can ride on my pony with me You can cry on my pillow, exclusive just for you I don´t blame you much for wanting to be free, that´s the way it should be Oh, trust me But soon, the teapot was crashed and in the schoolyard your head was smashed You didn´t cry, you didn´t cry and over the years you had this strange feeling of non-existence You can ride on my pony with me You can cry on my pillow Let us enter the world of high fidelity With a boundless, timeless and revolutionary imagination we´ll fly away with my magic machine My dear, I´ll give you a hand to bring your stupid thought of perfection to its end Problems round in circles like a washing machine And you can feel, it´s time for the cooperation of our reincarnation You can ride on my pony with me, yes you can You can cry on my pillow I will kiss your clothes off when you dance across my room Eat some orange, light some candles How about some slow, slow love Be a little girl and play. Please don´t be afraid I´ll be here with you. I´ll be here with you
