Alaskan Beach Boy
Hey folks you all return to your ships
They all wait silently at those harbor towns
You all just got your anchors so well fixed
They keep your smiles from falling down onto this dusty ground
If you don’t want to you just don’t smile
If you don’t want to you just don’t
Hey folks you all got your personal tricks
To make it feel okay
You all just got your treasures in wooden boxes
They lying there at sheltered bays somewhere so far away from me
If you don’t want to you just don’t kiss
If you don’t want to you just don’t
Hey folks you wanna know why I’m so friendly
It’s cause I’m alone
But I know the one thing about me you will remember
It’s how I’s dancing with a stone calling it my home
All the Beautiful Women
A subway elevator
Told me to start life a little later
But the butterfly ladies
They leave but they excuse
Hey now what should I do
Is the answer up to you
Or does the question
Already misuse you
Mama Mama Mama all the beautiful women
Are heading for the coast
Mama Mama Mama when they reach out for my skin
They feel they touch a ghost
The mouthpiece of your trumpet
I got it in my pocket
I take everything I can get
Just a-wanna be close to you
The bad girls take it easy
Don’t wonder how to please me
Just walk away if they see me
A little too upset
The good girls they need their time
To get rid of their innocent smiles
Some day they wanna taste it
Some sweeter kind of life
Mama Mama Mama all the beautiful women
Are heading for the coast
Mama Mama Mama when I reach out for their skin
I feel I touch a ghost
Your ghost
Alright my Dear
You are the weekend that will start on Sunday night
You are the trembling surgeon who’s short of time
You are the pilot fainting when he even thinks of heights
You are the grandest chieftain but last of your tribe
Hey if you got a problem
If your days are gonna fall
If life taps on your shoulder and you can’t hear the call
You are the teacher but there’s nothing that you know
You are the heavy weight champions contender that’s afraid of blows
You are the policeman in a country without laws
You are the preacherman’s son but you hate your flaws
Hey if you got a problem
If your world’s about to end
If your life is lacking each and every coincidence
You are the executioner completly unable to hurt
You are the talented poet getting short of words
You are the drummer whose hands are tied onto his back
You are the record breaking heat wave to the drying out lake
Hey if you got a problem
If nothing’s feeling right at all
If the sun that lights your day always seems to fall but all it will be alright
And it comes back after all and you’ll be alright my dear
It’ll recall your calls all the years
Love comes with no prize
At least you got the money to buy it
Love comes oversized
But you have the planes to fly it
But if you got a problem
To take what should be yours
If your keys don’t fit every door
You are the carnival that saddens the whole land
You are the Nick Drake songbook to the hardrock band
You are the child in a currant state of war
But the peace you brought is what it was for
So if you got a problem
If your days are gonna fall
Step out to the sky it will be there and all and all will be alright
Love will all it will all it will all dive in here
Balcony
If I had the money and the skills
I’d build a balcony right onto your house
Me I wouldn’t do it because of jealousy
At night I’d sleep there amongst your flowers
And the chairs would be my pillows oh
And the table would be my blanket oh
If I had the water and the time
I’d build a swimming pool right onto your house
And I’d make the kind of music that you’re swinging to
And the last dance would be ours
And then we’d share a pillow oh
And our love would be rising
Underneath the stars that glow
If I had the rivers and the stones
I’d build a mountainside right inside your garden
If some stones would be left I’d build a fountain inside
We’d watch it sprinkle – pardon
The bees would be our eagles oh
And the other bees would just stay bees oh
If I had the ocean and the earth
I’d build a continent right onto your world
There’d be freedom for every resident
If possible all houses would have a balcony
A fountain as a swimming pool for the birds
A fountain for the birds
For the birds
Bathroom Gallery
Hey now I don´t see why you talk to me
But wait there´s a good picture of mine
In the bathroom gallery
There is no floor
There is no free ride and no free lemonade
The police cars backdoors
They keep a shade
Of the perfect lie I´m always taking with me
Hey wait mama
I really wanna speak
The truth that´s within me
There´s noone I wanna see
Except maybe someone
That could see me
And yes of course a smile is tumbling out of my face
But that´s just for your peace
Best Man
He wants to be the best man the best man of the world
He wants all the love and all desire of each and every girl
He wants you to smile just when you get a glimpse of him when you pass by
He wants all your passion all your passion all your life
Look out on the street there’s the most terrible dangers
Look out on the street there’s the most beautiful strangers
(Showing you what your life could be)
They dance in ecstasy
They dance in liberty
Wave to you but not to me
He wants to be the best good lover of all times
He wants the girl in the supermarket to get started to believe in love at first sight
He wants to know all secrets his wisdom should be televised
He wants to write the best song the one that makes you cry
(He makes you cry he makes you cry)
Look out on the street there’s the most terrible dangers
Look out on the street there’s the most beautiful strangers
(Showing you what your life could be)
They dance in ecstasy
They dance in liberty
Wave to you but not to me
Big Golden Bow
Fighting the sorrow with a big golden bow
Your arrows of beauty I feared them so you were hiding it
If you’re leaving tomorrow I’m leaving today
I’m planning to follow but I need several lifetimes deciding it
Cause I used to wait for the US of A
With armies and bombs and bubblegum to cast the pain away
But now you ride on a horse with a flying white flag
I called the world to surrender and it was you that came advertising it
Now my city’s a forest with silent dark trees
And when I hear voices I don’t move analysing it
While I’m building a shelter of flowers and clay
You point to the sky and without being noticed you lighten it
You can hide from the light but not from the dark
So I’m killing the spark
Get out of your ark
Swim as far as I can get
Boots
Boots boots boots boots travelling boots are good for nothing
When you you you try to walk away from the one that you are loving
And the one you love she’s taking your hand says your hands are cold
You say my heart is too
Hearts hearts hearts hearts broken hearts are good for something
Oh they must be when you feel the warmth in your bed after she
Parts parts parts parts parts of you only can think about one thing
That’s touching her
The both of you undressing there
In living rooms in kitchens in all the bathrooms of the world
She’s leaving on her boots
(And these boots are made for walking and that’s just what they’ll do)
Oh her boots boots boots boots make this life so big and wild
A whole machinery of ghosts breastfed by the fire welcome by the light
And you you you the both of you met there in a symphony of dirt and white
Violins trumpets everything
Your life has been delivered with a galaxy of youth
Your soul has been delivered with an urgency for truth
And with boots
Boots boots boots boots travelling boots are good for something
They’re made for walking away from this blues blues blues blues
For standing for making love for sweating in them for jumping
(These boots are made for walking and that’s just what they’ll do)
These boots are made for walking and that’s just what they’ll do
I step into the bathroom and it’s there I’m meeting you
Braindoc & Princess
The braindoctor and the princess
Have bitten on their tongue
Questioned ‘bout their weaknesses
They turned them to this song
Their alphabet had many S’s
Some of them even they had trouble to spell
Love’s always a pioneer
Where it’s headed you can’t tell
The airfield and the tennis court
Had big spotlights on the side
Their loudspeakers were turned to max
This song agreed with pride
A kind of a spaceship was attracted
By the curious S’s and the lights
Love’s always a volunteer
Why it’s coming you can’t spy
The spaceship and the aeroplane
Had a radar thing on board
The spaceship had a kind of additional crane
To pick up the melody of this song
The braindoc pointed to the sun
The princess smiled
Said it’s the tennis ball from your service
Love’s always filled with errors
And that’s why I rub my nose on the mirror
It’s the mirror of your smile
Love is never to be seen
On the radar or in general with eyes
Weakness airfield pioneer braindoc princess crane
S’s matchball volunteer the radar system on a plane
The loudspeakers and of course the spaceship too
What are they to do in this song
They are there to wave hello
And to say that I love you
Broken
We tried to return to and escape from our families
We were kissing like a jungle fire made our own recipes of luck
Now everything is broken
It all burned down to the top
No friendly words were spoken out
We fell in love and like a bird in early fall
We fell out of it the whole nest that we installed had dropped
So everything is broken
I just stopped
No right words have been spoken out
I was going to the river
I felt no more warmth in the way we quivered
We found out in late December
That this and all further new years had been called off
Our smiles made melodies all of a sudden we could dance
Our hearts were doing rhthms we welcomed this coincidence
Now they’re just rocks
Everything is broken
Something brought them to a stop
When yesterday we were just joking around
There’s a desert where there’s been an ocean
I remember the waves their motions have stopped
Our mouths petrified and filled with silence
Frozen whilst forming a perfect goodbye they just stopped
It all just stopped
Our love has come to this place flew away and lit it up
Causing a Change in the Weather
I ate fish but was no fisherman
From my canisters and rusty cans
In a morning that brought this masterpiece of mind
They blew out the red lights of your record cam
Took the good part of your secret lands
That in a stormy day was washed out like a creature of bad kind
You belonged to the city for a couple of hours a day
And for the rest of the time you were taking a break
From yourself like an actor in his bad phase
I wish I wish I’d feel a little better you know
I´m just feeling afraid of wherever you go
With that secret in your suitcase
Your suitcase is so much better
It´s causing a change in the weather
Circus
The acrobat can’t find her left ballerina shoe the show starts in a bit
Her sweat-proof makeup handles the four five tears with ease
The kind of ease on stage like she has it
The circus is there in the city
It’s been there for a whole eternity
Look what time has done to it
Like in the movies they all living there in wagons
Most of them could use a little repair
Repair’s the word that will most likely not apply
To the clown’s and acrobat’s affair
There’s a darkness in this city
It’s been there for a whole eternity
I guess that time brought it
Only time might take it
The stars accepted their goodbye
They were half disappointed half surprised by it
She said I never found out from what we hide
The clown said that’s what clowns and acrobats are like that’s no secret
But there’s a beauty in this city
It’s been there for a whole eternity
Our love had it
Let’s not be fuzzy
Our love has it
Clouds & Aeroplanes
You’re beautiful my love
Good night my love I’m just a little late
You fell asleep in the early morning hours of the day
We got tired from all the love that we just made
You a little more or is it just your trust my babe
This sofa is our boat and this city is our sea
And this lamp is moving westward
Like it’s each sun’s destiny
The clouds and aeroplanes
Watch the stories of our dreams
As if it’s just why they’d be there
In this perfect scenery
Our love
Daddy’s Revolver
I tried to sharpen my thoughts to drill a hole into my head
And from the outside I tried it with daddy’s revolver instead
Open your mind and let the world in
And fireworks would start a triumphant begin
But the gun was made of plastic and the thoughts were made of fear
I’ll keep this bullet as a reminder in my pocket reminding me of all those lost years
So I just try to sharpen my thoughts to drill a hole into my head
So I try to sharpen my thoughts to drill a hole into my head
To drill a hole into my head
So open your mind and let the world in
And fireworks should mark a triumphant begin
Triumphant begin
If I ever feeling lonely
And if I ever don’t
I’ll be there at my parent’s first kiss
And I’ll wave my hellos
Daylight
Daylight will come
We gently push it through this song
We got the spare time watch it make pirouettes out in the river
If the stars are ready to fall
Explode into some kind of rock n’roll
We take a breath from the earth that just a hurrican can deliver
An accident
Heavenly sent
An emergency call
We’re not gonna dance
What a spectacular romance
Cause dance is too little a word for what our bodies are really doing
If they’re ready to crack
In a hundred years one will look back on us
And noone will remember the love that we threw in
We held our hands
As a defence
Against the deaths of the world and their horrors
Night time will come
We let go of the sun
We leave our dayjobs form orchestras out of the fire
We are ready to descend
We had this moment where life made sense
We had a second or two where we were really belonging together
And if daylight won’t come
We pull it from this song
We make the continents turn to the sun forever and ever
We kissed hello
Embraced and all
Believed that we are the ones to whom life finally matters
Elephants & Dogs
Elephants and dogs they held this meeting in the fog
I’m not sure but I think they’re planning a rebellion
Rabbits parakeets slowly turning into beasts
Now they’re chasing after me in the millions
Even the tigers and the cats when I try to touch their heads
They’re backing away like I’m some deciphered chameleon
The jaguars and rats it was them detecting that
I’m a hunter with the looks of a civilian
Thought I believed in life
Thought I believed in life
Thought I believed in life
I tried so hard to be nice now I’m tangled up in lies
I hit you like I’m the feather weight champion
And the bird this feather’s from
Forced me into its song about your beauty and love and how I trampled on it
Thought I believed in love
Thought I believed in love
The monkeys out there on the avenue they wave to me and you
And they know what to do
In the morning in the evening in the middle of the night
The bees and the owls have left the field we walked around
Instead of sleeping I search for them wait for their motions
Dolphins and whales they majestically exhale
Our love was the air and the water in their oceans
And they said hey we don’t believe it
And I said I just don’t know what to do
This we can tell you that’s up to you
And I said am I not a poor and lonely motherfucker
Captured and pushed into the blue
They said if that’s your message to the world then a millions lives won’t do
I’m just so afraid of love the biggest thing there ever was
The wildest the freest the easiest and the hardest
Spiders coyotes I force their children away from me
I make a move as if I moonwalk and run like hell into the forest
Wish I believe in life
Wish I believe in love
Wish I believe in you
Wish I believe in the beauty and in the imperfection and the youth
Wish not wanting to find myself in you
Falling in Love
Got a mask from the taylor that´s the money worth
And a flattering life from the inside of the earth
First you make love then it dissappears like a promise
That noone made but you definately heard
She sang a song in my parking lot
Breaking the consciousness of this permanent stop
And she said what´s the matter
And I said oh no nothing was afraid I might let her
Walk away like an evening cloud
With the difference that the sun was not on duty
Imagine a person having 400 lovers
And that one was you and you made love undercover
Of the night your cathedrals and your anxious smiles
But you just could not help it
Intense like you almost forgot
Like a forbidden breath that you just cannot stop
You need a voice a voice to use the freedom of speech
And a desire big enough to save you from the deep
And a beauty face cream like the babes on TV
Cause they´re happy with it so truly
Falling in love
Falling in love
Whose got the power the freedom the head high enough
Who doesn´t turn to a victim when falling in love
Who´s that Jesus-like figure having small talk in the bath
Seducing without hurting
And who will make you mine
And who´s to blame for you opening your thrird bottle of wine
So hungry and devastated
On the floor but just not related
Flying from the bridge with the triumphant smile
Of the love drunken but rejected tyrant
Fidel Castro
We dream ourselves of being Fidel Castro
In early days of no psycho disasters
We send our loneliness up to the thunder
Force Washington to divide all its plunder with us
And Fidel Castro
The sun has burned his skin to plaster
Her eyes blinded the ones of Fidel Castro
And while her beauty is confusion the atom
The Kennedy killers are beginning to let on who they are
Sent by Fidel Castro
We enter the cockpit Boeing 747
And push ourselves in a moon-landing heaven
And if we should reach the shores of Cuba
We get ourselves down cause we know that you are there somewhere
Fidel Castro
We are the world’s most fortunate lovers
We trick the CIA and all its undercover agents
Cause we’re a 100 times faster
We got the belief of the one and only Fidel Castro
Found no Wave in the Ocean
Found no wave in the ocean
But someone must have saved my notion
If I was somebody else
It´d be so easy to tell you my story
Hey if I was a pilot
I´d be causing a riot
Cause all the women they would be crying
When they watching me dying in full bloom
Shot down on a mission to the lonely skies
Hey if I had your permission
I’d be starting to fly
Laughing gas where are you flowing
Or shit do I have the wrong bottle open
I swear I could need a plan
Cause the only thing agreed upon is the end
Ain’t it scary
So I spoke to you about a wedding
Cause I found nothing instead of it
But our skin it is not lying
Does not seem to fit into my styling
Invisible man on his mission to the lonely skies
Hey if I had your permission
I’d be starting to fly
Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola appeared in my flat
But I can’t prove it
Though he gave me a puppet or something like that
Thought I can’t use it
Thought I had to refuse it
Thought that’s polite
Francis Ford’s daughter she gave me a kiss
I took it like a bandit
Her lips were a sea with an island on it
And my ship it landed
Not to say stranded
It was there I died
You’ve been my lover for a year and a day
You’re not my mother
I’m not your father
We just prove to each other
That we’re alright
That we’re alive
And our love shines like a diamond
Shines like a superstar
All our love
