We have always been here We don’t wanna fight The future is so clear Like a cat in the night It’s just another way of falling of the roof If you can watch and see who’s choking on your youth We have always been here We’re making mistakes Some action is needed Have I got what it takes It’s just another way of falling of the roof If you could watch and see who’s choking on your youth Take your revelation to the station mister superman Please take your little sister to the bathroom mister superman Cause we have always been here We’re making up lies The future is some goddamn clear We will eventually die It’s just another way of falling If you can watch and see who’s jerking

Standing at a station clouds are spitting rain and snow Standard observation clouds & people come and go You gotta bet your life Spot a little sunshine try to keep my toes all warm Daydream of a goldmine and retire to a farm You gotta push your luck Wait we’re swimming, we’re swimming in a beautiful country Say how come you’ve not set a foot outside the door Wait there’s someone, there’s someone in a million as bounty Hey it could be, it could be you I’m looking for Riding on a brickroad heading for a dream come true Manycolored screenshots full of red & green & blue You gotta bet your life Wait we’re swimming, we’re swimming in a beautyful country Say how come you’ve not set a foot outside the door Wait there’s someone, there’s someone in a million as bounty Hey it could be, it could be you I’m looking for

Pop Song 03:21
Your love is kerosene It makes me sweat and dream about a girl I would like to marry She never said a word But I overheard She’s in and out of the ordinary I decided to break the silence You decided to break my heart and dance With a man in a silver spacesuit Felt I bit in a grapefruit Your love has sucked me up Spit in a coffee cup Now I’m drowning in milk and sugar You hit me with a spoon And just before I swooned Subtitles say “now or never” I decided to wake up smiling To the sun in the window shine so bright A couple of pidgeons flying Flying out of my room Uh I’m starting to make I’m starting to break the promise To never ever ever never never ever leave you again Your love has freaked me out It makes me dream about A never ending bedtime story A couple of centuries Has taken you and me To reach the morning glory I decided to wake up smiling I’m flying out of my room

Pink Balloon 03:57
these days i’m resting from being with you enjoy the dead space between me & you just tryin’ to keep the sand out of my eye just tryin; to keep the sand outta my just tryin’ to keep the sand out try to break my legs when dancing kickin all the time losing friends and changing bands every day’s another way tryin’ to lose my head romancin’ drinking all your wine holding hands and making plans everywhere you go you say.. just tryin’ to keep the sand.... these nights i’m living as high as the stars i’m overdriven i’m a guitar just tryin’ to keep .... wouldn’t break my legs when dancing kicking all the time finding friends and starting bands everyday’s another play lost and found my head romancin’ drinking all your wine holding hands and making plans don’t you find it’s warm for may we’re flying in my pink balloon we love to drift away two cheesecakes and a single spoon forever and a day

Sleepwalk 04:55
i live in a house where everything’s near so i don’t have to strech my hands out everything seems to be closer the more i look i don’t get around i live in a house where everything’s fixed girls and women are already mixed someone’s asleep in the ashtray nobody’ got plenty to say i’m dating the blind a piece of my mind is goin’ away for a while walking around in my pyjamas at night i don’t stop at the traffic light sleepwalkers ask for directions...to the deathbed in the living-room walking around around...... i’m dating the blind what’s up in your mind we’ll do it another time walking on wheels i’m cutting the deals cause you taste your life with lemon and lime

Police 04:24

Fashion 05:40
Under the stars we smile & strive Under te moon we drink & drive Wearing a black shirt And a black tie Close your eyes Under the stars we roll and shake Under the moon we rock and mate Wearing a black dress and a black ring Close your eyes We’re changing the fashion Into some fashion That’s been built to last All the sharp edges And beautiful colors Belong to the past Listen to songs you cannot see.. Under the stars we dance and glow Over the years that pass so slow Shed a black tear Outta black eye ‘ve never known Light is the prison Catching the eye Swith to night vision Dark is the sky

Beauty Queen 05:07
maybe we should live obscene eatin’ rats and kerosene my baby is a beauty queen in the night time I’m tired of hangin’ on this rope feeling like a a little joke oh no here we go again on the wind side bang bang we’re on the air again I can’t remember the first line you can’t remember your last night oh bang bang they’re clapping hands again I don’t remember you saying you love someone maybe we should live unseen sailing on a silver screen my baby is a beauty queen in prime time I’m tired of hangin’ on this rope swaying in and out of hope oh no here we walk again on the lifeline bang bang we’re on the air again I can’t remember the first line you can’t remember your last night oh bang bang they’re clapping hands again I don’t remember you saying you love someone

This only happened to me yesterday On a day With a fat (shining) sun on my head I tried to climb upon a mountain top Had to stop Cause my feet were losing ground I tried to climb that ridge I’ve tried I tried to climb that ridge I’ve tried I tied a rope onto a rainbow Start to pull me up in the sky I’m glad it wasn’t in vain that I worked out I finally got to know the bird’s eye view Took a few Pretty pictures with my cell phone I (tried to)hang around a cloud all day Till the rain Swept me down into a lake I tried to cross that bridge I’ve tried I tried to cross that bridge I’ve tried You say you don’t care my thoughts are dirty But I must wash my hands You say you don’t mind my words are flirty As long as we’re only friends As long as we’re only friends As long as we’re only friends

Walking around your garden last night I hope that I might Dive in your wells I’m changing my clothes I’m changin’ my style Just for a while To be someone else I am the monkey in your stereo A virus eating your hard drive alive I’m the mistake in your scenario A time bomb ticking us away way My car is jammed on your road An Indian song Leaks out the radio I scream and I shout I’m laughing about The buzzing surround that I can’t live without Not without you I am the monkey in your stereo A virus eating your hard drive alive I’m the mistake in your scenario A time bomb ticking us away way Every moment’s like forever Don’t call me, my phone is dead Every time it’s now or never Don’t call me Every moment’s like forever Don’t call me, I’m in your head Every time it’s now or never Don’t call me NOW

Man In A Can 04:43
My head don't talk to me no more Kind of left me in the rain My shoes don't walk with me no more Goin' to find another way Oh no sir, oh no sir I'm not gonna come much closer I'd likely, most likely Turn around and walk away My dogs don't bark at me no more Sleepin' on the kitchen floor My hands don't clap with me no more Goin' to the record store gonna steal some records for sure Oh mister, cool mister A phone call from your sister It set my house on fire Got me running for the door There's a man in a can in my pocket Having fun with a lady of his choice There's an alien girl in a rocket And she dreams of forgotten alien boys My heart don't beat with me no more Goin' to beat me up and down My clues don't find me anymore Footsteps leading to the fingerprints on the wall There's a man in a can in my pocket Having fun with a lady of his choice There's an alien girl in a rocket And she dreams of forgotten alien boys

I am searching for a soul please step forward if I call when the lights are out in the shopping mall we are swimming in the fishing pond and I am searching for a soul that is yearning to control out of nowhere comes a sound and I’m lost until you’re found mind your business, step aside you’ve got no place you can hide but hope never dies for the happy fool that is fishing in the swimming pool rise up take your time sleep on the tree that you’ll find
