1. LOST IN TIME

Dancing in the twighlight
´cause I left today
feel the views are killing me
I´ve got my bills to pay
Hungry little sister
Will I loose my head?
Before the night comes back again
What will drive you mad?

And I fall in two peaces
And the time just fades away

We´re lost in time
Get off my mind
Get off me
We´re lost in time
Get off my mind
Get off me

Hangin´ in the twighlight
Walk to Charlie´s place
Feel the views are killing me
I´m nothing but shit in their eyes
But I need my psychotrail
To make me feel okay
Before the hate comes back again
What will drive you mad?

And I fall in two peaces..

Who will ever set me free
prisoner of my mind?
Who will ever wait for me
how can I survive?


2. MILITANT MOTHER

I´m your militant mother
I´m the fruit that makes you pain
You´re my angry little brother
I cheat you til you scream insane
So do you think that I am all of that?
I´m your devil from outside?
Oh please, won´t you remember
That I´ve always treat you right, so

I´ve smoked away your sorrows
See my shadow on the wall
I´m living for tomorrow -
don´t forget me
I´ve smoked away your sorrows
See my shadow on the wall
I´m living for tomorrow
But will you catch me,
catch me when I fall?

All you hate is my kindness
That I always gave to you
You wanna do something
alone, okay
But I´m always behind you
I´m your militant mother
Just the screw inside
your head
Just a voice without
a body body
And I always
drive you mad

4. OPEN UP YOUR MIND

I´ve always tried to live in your world
I´ve always tried to take you with me
Could´t stand what you believe, boy
I hate the things that look so militairy
No control to the rich men
It seems easier not to be wise
Don´t turn your haed from your desease
There are too much things to realize

Useless, when time will break
I will not hurt, I will escape

Open up your mind
When you try to find
Stop if you want
Open up your mind
When you try to find
Stop if you want

If the walls could talk to you, boy
They would tell you how far
hate could grow
If the stones could tell
all the wise men
There´s not enough
intelligence to make them know

No control to our race
Hit them hard, right into their face
Don´t turn your haed
from your desease
There are too much things
to realize

Useless, when time will break
I will not hurt - I will escape
You turn the things so negative
And follow the wrong signs


5. WORDS

Life seems beautiful, attraction comes my way
Turning my head from the
distance Right
All that I ever wanted
really came true
And you keep looking
from behind

All the things are turning
round for me without words
All the things that you won´t agree

Tell me your lies no more
Being the price in your store
Don´t be so self-assured
With all that words

Tell me your lies no more
Being the price in your store
Don´t be so self-assured
With all that words

From the distance now
I see the things so clear
And that makes you wonder
Deep as the words are you´re telling me
I still try to find my way
That´s right.

All the things I´m
really looking for
Looking for
All the things become
more and more


6. TURNING IN CIRCLES

I met you on my way,
so weak I couldn´t stay
You follow the signs
Find no place to hide
Survivor of the night, believe in yourself

For every wall you built around
All your words, I couldn´t count,
There´s no need to fight
You´re running just in circles,
round , but there´s no need to fight it all
We don´t have the time

Turning in circles - Keep your hand
on the wheel
Your eyes on the price
Turning in circles
Believe in yourself and
make it come true,
it´s up to you

Trouble comes my way, there´s a bound
between us, that I can´t deny
You tell a brandnew story, suddenly I hurry
who might believe in your words
I´m feeling weak and you are wrong
Words can be strong, there´s no need to fight - just look for the light

We haven´t got a choice
But we still have a voice
So make it come true


7. IF (YOU CAN'T HAVE ME)

I´m still waitin´ here for you
I still waste my time
There´s one reason to be here
´cause I´m hungry all the time
Many hours passin´ by and
I stand here so alone
Uh, I´ve got no reason why,
I just do it on my own -´cause
What are you wainin´ for?

If I´d like to be
If I want you certainly
If I´d like to stay
You can´t have me,
you can´t have me

I´m just wastin´ all my time
Can´t go on without you in my mind
Living dreams for nothing
But the truth is what I´ll find
What are you wainin´ for?

You can´t have me all the time
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?


8. LIGHTS ARE OUT

Turn the tables of your lifestyle
Fill your future with a different dream
Lookin´ forward is a wonderful thing
Leave nothing in between
Time to make a decision
Cut the things and learn to braethe again
Not to late to - catch your vision
Another way of life finds ist end

Have you ever been where I´ve been?
Have you ever been where I´ve been?
Have you ever been where I´ve been?
Have you ever ever ever

Lights are out
Imagine the lights are out
Wait here to call me back
Lights are out
when the music´s over I have to go

Have you ever had a dream jet?
Who, oh tell me, killed that grace?
Lookin´ forward is a wonderful thing
Make the world a better place
Money making politicians
Their smiling faces in your horror show
Lazy people don´t stand up
Wake up, hey, it´s time to go

Have you ever...

Never hide what´s inside


9. PARALIZED

I´m the friend that´s walking with you
Through a time we can´t survive
What the hell have we gone through?
What a hard and simple life
Built me up and strike me down, please
It depends on your sweet words
Paralized like I am
We´re twisted ´til it hurts

Tell me what you feel
If you ever feel
Don´t tell me what you dream
What you want? What you want?

I stand here in my room
without you
Paralized by the words you told me, so untrue
I stand here in my room
Disappointed

It´s the way how you left me
Still behind, I wonder why
Just like a pill I couldn´t swallow
I turn in circles, couldn´t hide
Built me up and strike me down, please
It depends on your sweet words
Paralized like I am
We´re twisted ´til it hurts

Tell me what you feel...


10. PALTRY

Hanging on a frequency
It´s burning like a fire
I hear your voice across the line
What a strange sensation
Can´t wait here all the time
I loose control
Waiting for your call
Escape the fear, I ask myself
Is anything happen here?

Because the paltry of the situation
Really drives me mad
How can you make me feel like I feel?
I feel

Scary eyes lookin´ at me
Tell me now what you see
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world

Now you stand like a cop there
With a hundret-dollar-smile
Doublevisions turn me mad -
so mad
Delicate situation
Like a puppet on a wire
I loose control
It´s burning in my soul
Escape the fear, I ask myself
Is anything happen here?

Because...


11. I DON´T KNOW

Turning my head, see the world is bleeding
Something is wrong in the underground
I hear the voices, different feelings
But I´m even sure what they talk about
What we create seems quiet and simple
they built up their castles in the air
but I don´t know, I don´t know

Why don´t we break the silence
Make an end, I don´t know
Why don´t we break the chains - Anyway?
Why don´t we break the silence
Make an end, I don´t know
Why don´t we break the chains
And yesterday will turn away

I fall from grace when I hear the screaming
Voices are dancing inside my head
Can´t find no sleep, I stare at the walls
Something inside me is turning mad
Feeling so sick of the life we´re leading
Let´s break the chains baby, anyway
I don´t know, sI don´t know

And we fall from grace
Yeah, just one thing
It´s just another part
of monster´s day
I feel afraid
