Edguy : The Singles
Lyrics
1. SUPERHEROES
City lights are calling
Slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fast lane
Mama let us waste no time
Devil in the doorway
Selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game
[Chorus:]
We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Man can stand where he belong
Way to long I've tried to be
What I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me
I ain't talking 'bout romance
You may fit, a love may chance
Anyway it's a just game we play
[Chorus]
We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Man can stand where he belong
We never cry for love
Man can stand where he belong
2. SPOOKS IN THE ATTIC
Always tried so hard to leave a tragic story
It's tearing me apart you never really care
Never met with your approval from your higher category
Found life at killing pace and wanna have my share
I've been led to the water to lap up
So I'm not gonna dry out draining
[Chorus:]
King of the mountain
Devil has taken my reason
I got spooks in the attic
We dance on the mountain
And pleasure replacing my reason
Got spooks in the attic
I'm a family kind of man I've lately started number ten
Too alien to find somebody home
Hyper salivation, hyper ventilation
Heading for the grail across the sea of lubrication
I'm out for it while rather on my own
Don't you see all the water so get down
If you don't wanna dry out draining
[Chorus]
There is no place for reason
Taking to the crest
And you won't go down in history with reason
And that stand no reason
[Solo]
[Chorus]
3. BLESSING IN DISGUISE
Living in a screenplay
She had never read the end
And no one else is to see it
THe pain of abrasions
Covered with a smile
No one to look underneath
In a lonesome night she ran away
In quest for light and then she found fire
[Chorus:]
Flying on broken wings
Uprising from the ruins
Living on broken dreams
What a night to come alive
Living on broken wings
What a blessing in disguise
A blessing in disguise
You're a star in a comedy
Never proofread by yourself
So that wicked sense of humor is divine?
And the cries of a bleeding child
May become a vow
Nevermore you'll fall into line
Every long cold night you dream, oh
Rain on you, pain you, you scream
You desire...
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
4. JUDAS IN THE OPERA
Darkness has covered the opera house
Something is wrong you can fell
There's a devil in disguise
A traitor has taken the dais
Catalogue people spend a pitying gaze
What can a man do in such a case
Aristocratic experts on art vomit all over the place
And they wish I'd be doomed eternally
[Chorus:]
Forever French-frying
You'd love to see me dying
Wo's let the peacock in to
Rock the house, opera house
You want me French-fried and
You'd love to see me fired and
Then kill Judas in the opera house
Opera house
Huntsmen are rushing around
After the peacock oh no
The baton is pink and it's clear: He is a queer
He likes it into his rear
Rumors arise he is from outerspace
They're out for the bounty
And still they're amazed
Aristocratic lemmings with a Highsnobiety leer
Get the chef to make peacock fillet steak
[Chorus]
We came from a solar system far away
Facing your goggle eyes
To protect this jolly bedlam from decay
Facing your goggle eyes
Who do you think you are
To think you're off a better class?
Who do you think you are
To expect us to kiss your ass?
We've come to chase the monkey off your back
Facing your goggle eyes
And we're expected some may sound an attack
Facing your goggle eyes
Who do you think you are
To think you're of a higher class?
Who do you think you are
To expect us to kiss your ass?
We're gonna be
Taking a chance, taking the chance
To get you darting a glance, darting a glance
At us starting to prance, starting the dance
Of the oddballs
And you're invited
Taking the chance, taking the chance
To get you darting a glance, darting a glance
At us starting to prance, starting to dance
Of the oddballs
Frankenstein is out of control
Donkey has been given a soul
Flamboyantly he's playing his song
And they can't get it
The nuthead he is going insane
The screwball is igniting the flame
Pandora's box has opened behold
Madness rising
[Solo]
You say treason but I tell you
There ain't no reason
We just have our share
We don't care as long as we're alive
Love our sound and like to hear:
Where's the chef to make Judas-fillet-steak
[Chorus]
5. THE SPIRIT
Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall
Street corner justice beware
The spirit will find you always be fair
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
In lies your heart will not share
The spirit inside used without care
[Chorus:]
The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care
The battlefield of glory pales into rust
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust
No beast alive does compare
The spirit beside you everywhere
Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard
Your conscience could not repair
The spirit inside used without care
[Chorus:]
The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care
[Solo]
[Chorus:]
The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care
6. SUPERHEROES (EPIC VERSION)
City lights are calling
Slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fast lane
Mama let us waste no time
Devil in the doorway
Selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game
[Chorus:]
We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Man can stand where he belong
Way to long I've tried to be
What I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me
I ain't talking 'bout romance
You may fit, a love may chance
Anyway it's a just game we play
[Chorus:]
We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Man can stand where he belong
We never cry for love
Man can stand where he belong
7. LAVATORY LOVE MACHINE
Oh if only Brazil was not so far
Far away I Would swim or walk or ride
But never ever fly
But all the noise of the maniacs there
The sweat on my face it's worth to bear
But I don't wanna bounce and die
But then I see a lady in a tight blue dress
I close my eyes, I know what I would go for
Stewardess before the crash
Lavatory Love Machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory Love Machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
I am at your disposal
I gotta get up to see what you ain't gotta hide
Wheeling junk along the aisle
Keep your seat belf fastened
You're whipping with an iron voice
You command
Uh mistress I am in your hands
And when she asks me what I'd like to eat
I realise the domina feels the same
And I reply: What about your pie?
Lavatory Love Machine...
Lavatory Love Machine
No broken wings to stop me steam
Lavatory Love Machine
Honey dou you like the way I cream?
Now if I gotta die
I'll have been stiff and smiling till the crash
Let them know I've been alive
Till I made my final splash
Lavatory Love Machine...
Don't hear the scary noises
From the turbine when you scream
8. LAVATORY LOVE MACHINE (ACOUSTIC VERSION)
Oh if only Brazil was not so far

From the turbine when you scream
9. I'LL CRY FOR YOU
Never deamed that I could fall
But something's come over me
Now I'm sitting staring at the wall
Afraid for my sanity, yeah
The sound of your voice
The touch of your skin
Is haunting me, haunting me
I still try to come to my senses
But it's too late now
So I'm taking my chances
I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you
Wondering why I'm running scared
From what I believe in
I know that love is just another word
To say what I'm feeling
For once in my life
The future is mine
It's calling me, calling me
I've been searching so long for an answer
But it's too late now
So I'm taking my chances
I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you
I wanna give you my heart
Cry for you
I wanna lay in your arms
Cry for you
I wanna give you my heart
Cry for you
I wanna lay in your arms
Honey, I'll cry for you now
10. KING OF FOOLS
What do you think when you spit in my face
How does if feel to accuse and to haze
Now look at me, I'm not one of your kind
And I prefer to stay behind
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
We don't get than king of fools
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools.
We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow, King of fools
You're the blind to lead the blind
And I walk the wicked way
You feel at ease as you flock with the masses
What do you see with your heads in their asses
Keep on railing at what I believe
Call me insane and I am proud to be
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get than king of fools
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools
We're not gonna be like you
We don't follow, King of fools
You are the blind to lead the blind, oh

11. NEW AGE MESSIAH
Countless pointing fingers
A nameless crowd too swollen to analyse
Takes a rise our of the stranger
Don't know where he's come from
Bumfuck raises birds of paradise
They surmise, very wise
One night they witnessed
How he lit his backdoor winds
Fire turned the night into day
And they prayed, fell on their knees
And turned their glances off his face
And they knew they have been chosen to obey
Pardon me
Raise a graven image
I'm the new messiah for the world
You can't see the splendor of my nimbus
But I'm the new messiah for the world
For the blind
The word shall spread like wildfire
Here you got a new messiah holding sway
Delightful game
Don't you give away: I'm no redeemer
But bring me grapes and diamonds right away
And a maid to lay...
One day oblivion will swallow up my fame
The common run of mankind will forget my name
Forget my name
Like a phoenix rising someone else is gunna reign
Till then you know that you are to obey me
Pardon me...
Gluttony and ecstasy, there's velvet on my dais
Lions, ladies, roataries they never spare with praise
A million pointing fingers
Have turned to clapping hands
Now I'm off to Betty Ford
See you in hell my friends
Pardon fucking me, who the fucking fuck is Jesus
I'm the motherfucking new messiah
For the fucking world
Pardon me...
12. THE SAVAGE UNION
Here I'm standing at the junction of my life
So many ways, I don't know witch one is the right
Do I wanna keep it up or throw it all away
Or close my eyes, go on and live just for today
I'm alive, I'm alive
We're gonna dive into madness of life
Heat stroke and nuts, don't live a lie
No one to blame, we don't play your game
We don't give a fuck, we're savage united
Savage united we stand!
Life is what happens to you while you're making plans
It's time to find your mental equilibrium again
Pedal to the metal and hit the passing lane
Kill the demons, cut the crap, quit their wicked game
I feel high, hell I'm high
We're gonna dive into madness of life...
13. HOLY WATER
Waiting all the time to erase it from my mind
I feel like I've been left behind, my heart is frozen
Punished to rush and fall and again I'm gonna crawl
Is there really no return from the life been chosen
You wanted more from me than I could ever be
Rains is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain, purify me
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain
I'm driving down my way to digest yesterday
Under rain clouds towards the sundown to be devoured
And then come out alive
Dripping wet but purified
Ready to beard the memories of golden hours
No, there's nothing else than we can do
We gotta walk on through
Rain is falling, pouring down on me...
14. LIFE AND TIMES OF A BONUS TRACK
Poor artist went to label, truckloads of money in mind
Rich artist left the buildings
Cause all the labels had been standing in line
And so they signed
Artist wrote rock'n roll history
Concentrated on a album so strong
But business claimed limited editions
Insisting on a additional songs
That was the time when I had born
When I first saw the light of day
And even if you got a different opinion
From my point of view, needless to say
That I'm happy to be
Ever if you don't want me to be
The world wouldn't go round without me
I'm a bonus track on my way to Japan
And I'm gonna be spread on Internet
I'm a bonus track, to Brazil and back
Enjoying worldwide fame
They'll screw the industry, pay no royalty
Burn me on CD, all illegally
Chinese bootlegs, Russian piracy
Cuthroat Germans the all copy me
And I don't give a shit, to me it's all the same
As long as I get all the fame
And the girls know my name
I don't give a fucking shit, no, I don't give a shit
Don't give a fucking shit, no, no...
Not a single little fucking shit
Oh this is it... This is it! It!
I'm a bonus traaaaaaaaaaaaack...
