On a Roundabout I'm turning on to you Don't you love the way we're turning, yes you do Little schools of Hummingbirds are streaming by While we're merging with the colour of the sky Big yellow Sun You're the One Here's our souls Heal them, Heal them Beautiful Girl You're the World I'm in You Breathing, Breathing La-la-la-la-la-la-la-love-me-do At the Entrance of the Airport as you see There's an Icecream-man who's selling sweets for free You might watch descending Rockets from the Moon While we're taking off with 99 balloons (bless our Souls) Big yellow Sun You're the One Here's our souls Heal them, Heal them Beautiful Girl You're the World I'm in You Breathing, Breathing La-la-la-la-la-la-la-love-me-do
Though this place is so crowded You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him And you know he will take you He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove For nuggets of fleeting bliss C'mon, c'mon you can't escape The bleeding bullet of a kiss Here comes that golden feeling It's shining in your eyes We're always going on and on Right from that day they start to shine It's a new situation The start of a game, you've already won the prize He's a lunatic dancer Who's not aware that he's skating on thin ice There's no turning back No time for regrets, you should've known better, though Another chance to fall in love Another chance to turn you on Another chance to turn you on Here comes that golden feeling It's shining in your eyes We're always going on and on right from that day they start to shine
We call ourselves the crown of creation I wonder what does it mean We're not the owners of the moon and the earth It's like a roundabout and it goes round and round for free We've made some gruesome inventions Yet we're mastered by those systems We're endangered danger, we're running out of fashion If we don't care for responsibility, hey-hey We're endangered danger, we're endangered danger We're the headlines today, but all what they say is We're endangered danger Eric says that we're a lonely species That's why we're playing the fools But once we'll enter the Aquarian Age I sometimes catch him floating in his swimming-pool, he says If we'd tune in to our brighter sides We'd feel like Jesus on the waters Cause we're sailors not soldiers, so much more for this show Than a guest-appearance in the universe, here we go We're endangered danger, we're endangered danger We're the headlines today, but all what they say is We're endangered danger
If I was a flag I'd have no nation Just the colours and the wind And if I was a church I'd have no treasure Except the prayers and the hyms And if I was a seagull I'd just rise up And carry my soul across the sea Drifting beyond the horizon Lost by the ground to be free If I was a life-boat I'd be waiting all my life For another stormy day And if I was a dolphin I'd be playing all the time Just playing my life away And if I was a kite I'd just be laughing And dragging you up to the sky Setting you down on a white cloud While a seagull's floating by And the silence roars like thunder
Time is fleeting You can't stop time Hearts are beating Cause there ain't no time Dial that number Stories fly See their faces, empty places Uh, elevator Time goes by Uh, generator Love flies by Good-bye, good-bye Time is hurting But it ain't a crime Someone's bleeding all the time Too much tension in a second Just repeat it Cause I need it Uh, elevator Indicator Accelerator Uh, generator Turning on, Turning elevator on
This is a nation anthem from the flip-side of the Empire Hand on my heart, heart on the sleeve of the constitution Sinking right into a mirror, leaving reflections on its surface Caught in a kind of radio-beacon that's sending out signals transmitting them backwards HEY, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U. Worlds gonna change with a move in your face, do I still walk on the same&127 structure? HEY, what do we know, re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows? Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure Watching your face thru' a peephole as I lean against the door Can't understand what you say but I think that you're calling my name Leaving the ones I loved is like leaving the one they want me to be Making decisions in real-time-precision as millions of sailors in parallel worlds HEY, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U.&127 Worlds gonna change with a move in your face, do I still walk on the same structure? HEY, what do we know, re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows? Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure Everybody walks this side of the run-way Everybody hopes to get off the trap All we really like is to groove with emotion Waiting for the airline to lift us up
Down in the garage, drifting in her embrace
He's on an island of serenity
Outside the gateway they're comin' closer
Rain settles gently on their uniforms
Comme Vingt Mille Lieues sous les Mers
Comme Vingt Mille Lieues sous les Mers
Down in the garage after the race
For only a moment the earth stood still
While they are kissing, exposed by the searchlights
Into the cameras she fires her gun
Comme Vingt Mille Lieues sous les Mers
Comme Vingt Mille Lieues sous les Mers
Now you're playing around with money and fear And a power you can't control And the Zimmerman grin their perjured grins Saying: "There is no risk at all" Look into the eyes of the next generation I know you would never dare You're laying the tracks of the ultimate sin Like Himmler and you don't care It only takes a few words, it only takes a few To cut a long story short It only takes a few words Oh my, how it hurts Look into the eyes of the next generation Look into the eyes of the next generation Your orders filtered through the ranks Intentions you can't hide With tightened lips you're sinking ships In the shadows of the night You presidents of Genocide You ministers of Crime You're laughing at your firemen >From miles behind (from miles behind the lines) It only takes a few words, it only takes a few To cut a long story short It only takes a few words Oh my, how it hurts Look into the eyes of the next generation Look into the eyes of the next generation
Little Darling On the factory floor Sirens are wailing They are calling you like lovers They always want more Department 27 Deep down below You are piecing together The seeds of the world Ashen roses Growing darkness Starving children Someday you stand up and dance Glittering sunlight, Keep on shining And put them together The seeds of the world Binding all the flowers of the world Start bursting into millions of colours Unfold all the flags of the nations Kiss me again, let the battle start Little Darling What have you done Hearts are breaking Live without ending, numberless men Never relaxing I have to see it all Fire, desert, cold and arid And all in a flash Binding all the flowers of the world Start bursting into millions of colours Unfold all the flags of the nations Kiss me again, let the battle start
Tell me is it really true There's something goin' on Outside I just can feel it I heard it on the radio I'm not allowed to go Outside I can't believe it There's a big hole in the sky Where the radiation's breaking through And we just sit and stare Like the rabbit at the snake There's so much we could do But we gotta do it now Cause it's gettin' pretty late Better hurry now We all need the sun We need love and light for everyone We need our atmosphere To live in here We could be so strong We overthrow the government and stop What's goin' wrong We're fighting for the sun It's really hard to understand The change of sister sun As if your sunny smile Would turn into a deadly one It's not a quality of life To live inside a mighty trap To have that ice-cold coke beyond the radiation gap There should be more resistance Against industrial trusts And if there's no solution, there should be revolution I wonder if we start in time, we're racing with the seconds I wonder if we've got enough to talk to stupid politicians We all need the sun.... Hold on to revolution... members of the earth, lets fighting for the sun
It's the start of the season The dawning is near The Age of Fish comes Announcing the news of the year The tiger returns to the jungle The wolf comes home to his yard When you say it feels good to be back Then it's just one step further on To the heart Getting over, getting over It's the start of the season Creep out of the arc Leave your sticky asylum behind And step out of the dark There's an open horizon before us There is a rainbow under my eyes The detector reads low radiation And you are fearless to rise Til you're high Getting over, getting over It's the start of the season Over the land A mockingbird is singing a song Near the Tide's Restaurant As you undress your movie-blue diving suit Your innocent skin shines so white We shall be one under the sun Right here in the power of the light Come to the summer Welcome to the sun Come to the summer Welcome to the sun ....welcome
