down there
between the stars we're sitting here
our wifes are having breakfast now
down on earth the skies are clear
oh how we wish that they were here
tell me what we're doing here
watching the dirty atmosphere
we're searching for a place
for the human race
out in space

down there's america
down there's africa
down there are still people who think
that mankind is the most important thing

we'll circle till eternity
around the world in minutes we
understand the history
the whole human catostrophy
good morning ground contro

will my dog still know who I am
get shaved and it'll be allright
will we return to what we know
everything's gonna be allright
but if you ask me I don't know
if I really want to go 
back down there

down there glows america
down there glows africa
down there burn the people who think
that mankind is the most important thing




the land of milk and honey
you don't get your dreamjob
'cause you're too tall
you miss your wakeup-call
a drunken guy crashed in your car
can't pay for your drinks at the bar
your boss said it was nice to work
with you, you think he's just a jerk
the new shoes you bought
are ruined after a mile

the sheets are warm
the fridge is filled
what's up buddy
erverthing's so funny
living in the land of milk and honey

and now your girlfriend sold
your favourite cd
they've towed your car away
while watching girls you fell off a tree
and that was hard
but now the best
you haven't seen one girl undressed
mummy said they'll take you
out of college




ghosttown
when the night falls
I lay my head on shallow ground
covered by sand of desert dunes,
I will be found
write your name with fingers in the sand
and it's blown away by sandstorms
and

I'm gonna leave this ghosttown
I'm leaving, leaving, leaving this ghosttown
I'm gonna leave it on its own
lost souls on dead ground

and all the memories
that come at night
and steel my sleep
the neverending game
of love and pain
I'm in too deep
rattlesnkaes draw circles in the dust
and while I watch them I realize I must
leave this ghosttown




hang the DJ
160 beats per minute
is the only thing that I here
everbody is dancing with themselves
no whispering in each others ear

being hopeless at the DJ's mercy
I told him once and told him twice
to play a slow song for me and my baby
but he didn't wannda follow my advice

loving couples all over the world
united there is hope
let's get some drinks for the boys and girls
and for the DJ a rope

hang the DJ hang him high
kill this bastard kiss goodbye

another night another DJ
but somehow everything's the same
flashing lights and my baby smiles
I saw the DJ and I knwew I'll loose this game

she's got that look something in her eyes
the music starts and snap it's gone
you've killed my dream now it's on you
you bloody ignorant bastard son

the DJ lynchmob says goodbye
to all the jerks that made us cry




dancing in the sunshine of the dark
6.30 in the morning
wake up it's time to go
a priest, a smile
names in a file
last act of the show
you can hear them coming
keys ring cross the floor
don't worry 'bout tomorrow
cause you know what they came for
and here we go

dancing in the sunshine of the dark
two cops you've sent to heaven
and now it's time to follow
you don't mind they should have known
a bullet's hard to swallow
one last wish is granted
kind of last romance
lock the cell take of your shoes
and then you start to dance

someone's gonna miss you
throw flowers on your grave
dance your soul out of your body
smile brother be brave
five steps to the gallow
and a direct slide to hell
enjoy your last steps in the light
befor you leave the cell
here we go



princess of new york
by the garbage cans she sits
in her hands she holds a plastic bag
she borrowed from the supermarket
her eyes starring holes into the night
open windows are her radio
luxury for her backyard bed
she knows every story
of all the gloom and glory
this city wrote through all the years

you can't miss her cause she is
always talking to a mailbox
whispering secrets right into
the darkness where you can't hear her
speak or talk
but believe me that she is
the princess of new york

down 5th avenue she walks
dragging her body round the block
trying to collect her meal
the parking meters are her friends
for each one she's got a name
hello eddie how are you today ?




rainy april day
a million dollar baby
has lost its father today
the fallen angel stay in bed
with a bullet in his head
success makes you horny
and bills calm you down
no more excuses silent cries the clown

your wife will light a candle
to guide you on your way
hope that you'll find
what you've been looking for
on a rainy april, rainy april day

the public wants answers
they don't wanna here
and every kiss of yours is public property
you gave it all
but noone wants to own your fear
and fear is all you've left for your baby



hello and gooodbye
today your're their best friend
but believe me tomorrow
they don't even know your name
friendship is a word that has lost its meaning
and making friends a funny game

tell me why, tell me why
it's always been the same
tell me why, tell me why
hello and goodbye

the came without warning
they won't leave when you want
you wish you could beam'em away
but when you really need them
they will never appear
and if you ask them they will never stay

I can see by your eyes
you thought they'll never go
but tell me please where are you now
remember me boy 'cause I told you so
but believe me you'll get through somehow



your love won't take me anywhere
I tell your complicated girls
are complicated lovers
and mostly later they become
complicated mothers

you say you love me, I don'tr care
'cause your love won't take me anywhere

come on not another try
'cause the time is really wasted
crap declared as first class meal
and I paid before I tasted

empty tea cups and the look of angry mothers
a lonely angel hidden inbetween the others
with wings so white much to white to fly
a handicaped angel in a wheelchair passes by
soken wt I awake you are awy
a smile comes in my face and suddenly I say
jippee yo jippeeyay



spit into the fire
burn a candle set a light
keep on going against the stream
be as mean as mean can be
as long as you're not to extreme
read the papers watch the news
be informed and get the blues
collect your garbage use the subway
swaying you stay on the roof
search for solutions for the future
find resources drill for oil
raise some powerplants and then
burry them under the soil
rome is burning the emperor sings
waiting for what time may bring
his body caressed by the virgins
laughing shy he turns around
and spits into the fire

and hopes that he can calm it down
fight the flames with words
cause they're cheaper than water
thinking he can heal the world
but the only thing he really does
is sitting on a sofa
and spit into the fire

rabbits hopping on the green
and jump directly in your pan
turtles transform into soup
enjoy them as long as you can
silent sitting writing songs
'bout all the idiots that pretend
that their words can change the world
I think I'm right but in the end
I spit into the fire



kiss the judas
she took you up to seventh cloud
you had time to fall
is it that what you've been dreaming of
a promise big as the universe
and all the best for free
she ripped you off just when you fell in love

I know how it feels
I know how it hurts
it's the disappointment
that makes you feel so sad
I know you can top it
I know what you will
a smile in your face
one last embrace
to kiss the judas

mom is dead and dad's in buffalo
a long way to go
you paid the ticket but she does not go back
enjoy a night under candlelight
if you pay the cheque
her lips so red
and the future looks so black
