Elevation Ticket

at every busstop she is standing
waiting for a man it seems
but it cannot be she's hoping
for a common man like me
oh that beautiful face
eyes that hold a stare
she shouldn't stand there waiting
for the madman beware....
and always I hold my breath
when I see her there alone
everybody knows the streets aren't save
someone'd better drive her home
how I'd like to invite her
but I suppress the desire
such a girl would never wait
on a common man on fire
I got an elevation ticket
for the revalation time
I got a tight bound jacket
for the revolution crime
so frightened I stare at them crazy eyes
a stuttermouth telling those hazy lies
so scared I look at them blood red hands
recognizing for what they stand
shouting from pain I see
that girl will never wait for me
I got an elevation ticket
for the revalation time
I got a tight bound jacket
for the revolution crime
I have a book of praise
for when the church bells chime
I have a cold dark cellar
to keep the old red wine

In My Mind
05:38
|

oh, in my darkened room
try to catch some sleep
eyes stalking the night
strange sounds fire a fright
for whom the bell tolls
hear the wind cryin' out
it ain't cookin' in my kitchen
is my bed safe enough
I don't know just what is wrong with me
am I dreaming or awake
I can't tell what's going on
in my mind I find the scenery
tossin' and turning
the sweat really pours
a ghostly presence shining
another nightmare source
what to believe
babe I just can't tell
we see so many lies
why is it sorrow sells
I don't know just what is wrong with me
am I dreaming or awake
I can't tell what's going on
in my mind I find the scenery
a darkened room I'm gonna find in my mind
awake in bed am I dreaming or sleeping
setting free the horrors
the horrors of living a day
reliving the days
a nightmare behind closed doors
solo
repeat chorus

great explanation
but what did you say
let those who think they understand
raise their hands and take command
life's not easy
it's hard to have fun (I know)
not to be bored means not to be numb
give me a reason baby
I catch up somewhere
show me the real places
I'll find some answers there
I'm looking all the way
but you say I don't see
now there's a feeling inside
are you foolin' with me
some great acting
but what did you do
let those who are experienced
lay down the shelter and start to dance
life's not simple
it's hard to relax (you say)
not to be bored means have some sex
repeat chorus
baby stop dragging me around
all your words are silly lies
I may be dumb but I understand
you're too weird to love my kind
SOLO + repeat chorus
give me a reason baby
I catch up somewhere
'cause there's a feeling inside me
that you are foolin' with
me....

My One And Only

if you were the one
stuck to seat sixtyfour
on last years' tour
why didn't I see you before
gosh, you're so real
it's a sin to the eye
makes me wanna die
curious of what you hold in store
how I wish you into my stories
fulfilling wonderous fantasies
making my dreams come true
my one and only........
if I were the one
stuck to your waterbed
holding you instead
of that whimp at your side
would you treat me nice
make love all night
hold on tight till the light
came shining through with pride
how I wish you into my stories
fulfilling wonderous fantasies
making my dreams come true
my one and only........you
hear me crying out loud
do you recognize these lines
I'm all love and passion
I'm burning from inside
my one and only
please rescue me
my one and only
please rescue me
repeat chorus

Breathe Fire - Changes
06:14
|
|||
there is no equality
no equilibrium
all things we do
day by day
have a certain aim
there is no such thing
as the end of the world
except by human nature going wrong
change of heart
change of style
my mind was blown away
change of mind
change of line
my heart was torn today
there is just time flying
no adrenalin pumped high
all moves we make
night by night
take only one take
there is no such thing
as a perfect love
you've got to give and take to make it work
change of heart
change of style
my mind was blown away
change of mind
change of line
my heart was torn today
it's never tranquil
it's never too late
images on the wall
shadows down the hall
what will make you
dream of being the master of it all ?

Permanent Vacation
08:30
|

time just passes by, but i never notice
the second that we met, is burned in my mind
love you make me high
living on emotion
babe i'm flying now
on a permanent vacation
there ain't no day, that i don't think of you
there ain't no night, that i don't miss you
love please fill me up
it's the inspiration
babe you set me off
on a permanent vacation
you are in my heart
you are in my soul
we will never part
you and i are whole
now come what may, you give me meaning
whatever people say, it is destined to be
love you fill me up
you're the inspiration
babe i'm sailing off
on a permanent vacation
you are in my heart
you are in my soul
we will never part
you and i are whole
please call my name
say those first few words
your new born life
is everything to me...
(solo)
repeat chorus

Losers In The End
05:58
|
|||
behind every mask
there is a spirit with soul
maybe not unwrinkled but
we're not the flauntless kind
in fact we aren't kind at all
on the pure one should never depend
we're all bad guys in the end
behind every smile
there is the tear of a clown
we meet him with ironic frown
but we hurt a caring heart
and bite the feeding hand
on the truth one should never depend
we're all liars in the end
solo
we stall our memories
in boxes one by one
we put a number on
and forget
one by one
what have we done?
solo
behind every facade
there's a man who laughs and cries
maybe even a million times
some will win, others will lose
painfull memories drown in booze
on the future one should never depend
we're all losers in the end

No Fear Of The Dark
05:35
|
|||
I smell nothing
except the smell of fear
when I sense it coming
it stinks up here
I wet my pants
so I light a spark
only with you by my side I got
no fear of the dark
no fear of the dark
I'm so easily scared
it's a helpless case
not a devil dare
never face to face
I'm out of here
when I hear that bark
but with you by my side
no fear of the dark
no fear of the dark
no fear of the dark
tell me is it dangerous
I have had enough
to those in peril
I'm not tough enough
get me out of here
I can smell the fear
I have had enough
never tough enough
when I sense it coming
it stinks up here
before I wet my pants
I light up a spark
only with you by my side
no fear of the dark
no fear of the dark
no fear of the dark
no, no, no
