1. SHORTWAVE INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. PANORAMA

Walking down an alley
Deep in blue neon
A dead end for today
Under skyways worn
Concrete from far below
Rising up above
Surrounded by shadows
Garden without gods
All are strangers alike
All riding the blind
The purple of their eyes
In reverie unwind

Circling sub-city
A rainbow appears
To calm down the fury
To calm all the fears
This random occurance
Is only a sign
Of the incoherence
In the clockwork mind
A symphony of our time
Recalling the past
People in a decline
Denying the vibrations we're made of

Somber drama
Rolling down hill
Panorama
All is so still
Anyway, anyhow
Anyhow, anyway

End of all reason
End of all reason
Is what I go through
Yes, it is what I go through
Slip-sliding nation
Slip-sliding nation
Is what they must do
Yes, it is what they must do

Over the greying landscape
Under a deadened sky
Sitting on a mountain
I will stand aside
As I am a witness
I turn a blind eye
I am feeling helpless
But it passes by
Is this a modern legend
Maybe a fairy tale
Just a future requiem
Cutting along the fiction that we're made of

Somber drama
Rolling down hill
Panorama
All is so still
Anyway, anyhow
Anyhow, anyway


3. CLOUDS IN MY HOUSE

Zoning in a hall of glass
Plasma flowing from a cask
Piercing overtones
Mainline into my back pack

It's full of clouds in my house
It's full of clouds in my house

A grey hive humming white souls

Frenzy reviving the room
Energized by many flumes
Drip-drop on my head
Wakes me from a thousand moons

It's full of clouds in my house
It's full of clouds in my house

A grey hive humming white souls
A grey hive humming white souls

A grey hive humming white souls

Circle dance inside the cave
All movement brings a message
Larvae in their holes
Waiting for a summer daze

It's full of clouds in my house
It's full of clouds in my house

A grey hive humming white souls
A grey hive humming white souls


4. THE PROW

There you are, you're with me
Protecting all my crew
I carved you, from a tree
My vision is you
Lorelei I have thee
In front of my ship
Cutting waves at full speed
Savouring the trip

Down the mirror of the waterline
Leaning over underwater life
Hidden treasures of the seven seas

I'm starboard to nowhere
On the milky way
Howling wind salty air
Tearing at the sails
Looking down the crow's nest
Gliding in the sky
Without sound going west
Boating on the fly

Down the mirror of the waterline
Leaning over underwater life
Hidden treasures of the seven seas

But some day
You'll go home
Far away
On your own

Dans la mer
You'll go down
Go down where
You belong

Down the mirror of the waterline
Leaning over underwater life
Hidden treasures of the seven seas


5. BEST REGARDS

To whom it may concern
Your well-known address
Again with no answer
To my last request
Disregard ink spots
My presentation
Consider my clear thoughts
My speculations

What a warning
The way you're talking
I'm more than worried
The sky is burning
The clouds are falling
I'm more than sorry

You write me back
Blank empty words
You don't write back

Acknowledge my statement
A creased white receipt
What a disappointment
Was I indiscreet
Perhaps I'm impolite
Am I out of place
Have I the right to write
To express my case

The time is coming
The world is dying
I'm more than worried
The clock is ticking
Real action's missing
I'm more than sorry

You write me back
Blank empty words
You don't write back
You write me back
Blank empty words
You don't write back

I stay well-behaved
Waiting for the mail
Best regards good world
Best regards good world
I stay well-behaved
Well into my grave
Best regards good world
Best regards good world

Best regards good world
Best regards good world
Best regards good world
Best regards good world


6. TWIN DUMMY

Dummy says I have dreams
Frightening screams I have dreams
Dummy says it's too late
Big mistake it's too late

The circus left without me
The circus left without me
And I'm alone with you now
And I'm alone with you now

Dummy says stay with me
Talk to me stay with me
Dummy says holiday
Come and play holiday

The circus left without me
The circus left without me
And I'm alone with you now
And I'm alone with you now

Big top carousel
Cotton candy

Where am I

Fun house acrobat
Fortune teller

All of me
All fades away

Dummy says my dear friend
Here you stand my right hand
Dummy says 'til the end
My dear friend my right hand

The circus left without me
The circus left without me
And I'm alone with you now
And I'm alone with you now


7. ANGEL RAT

The idiot walks along a canvas
Sunday rendezvous mister phobia

Maybe today
Fear will go away I'll fly!

A gruesome rain a seraph wailing
Flapping madly shaking on the wing

Listen my friend
Never look down from the cliff
Take care beware
Do try to catch the eclipse

Obsession the will to fly - It would be nice
Still a nagging doubtful mind - It will be fine
Straight ahead half luna shines - Now is the time

Here comes darkness
Distanced from above
Bold emptiness
Omniscient fog

Obsession the will to fly - It would be nice
Still a nagging doubtful mind - It will be fine
Straight ahead half luna shines - Now is the time

Up on the edge
Ready one two go
Rat or angel
Does one really know

The idiot walk along a canvas


8. GOLEM

I know I know from the assembly line
I know I know the three laws of my type

I was not made to smile
I was not built to lie

I ask my positron self
I ask my positron self

Why am I born apart

We work alone inside the big dome
There's no reason for my eyes to glow
Every night every morning
Every day

I know I know all data and functions
I know I know the power of the sun

I don't care what I am
I am the never man

I ask my kindred spirit
I ask my kindred spirit

Why do I dream of kites

We work alone inside the big dome
There's no reason for my eyes to glow
Every night every morning
Every day

Whatever to serve my master
Anything to save my master
Whatever to serve my master
Anything to save my master
Whatever to serve my master
Anything to save my master
Whatever to serve my master
Anything to save my master

I know I know the passage of my time
I know I know the same old daily grind

I know I know I know
I know I know I know
I know I know I know
I know


9. THE OUTCAST

Doorway in sight
Not a second too late
Into the night
Siren spot light
Wailing wolves at the gate
Into the night

Mad dog patrol
Roaming 'round the grounds and
All set to go
Hiding alone
Somewhere from the blood hounds
All set to go

Running all day in every direction
Finding his way to civilization
Everything's gonna work out
Yes, everything's gonna work out

He used to stand by his window you know
The view was so good he wanted to go
And now that he's back on those same old streets
He's locked in again and falls on his knees

Running away
That is all that he knows
Time and again
He fades away
And forgets where he goes
Time and again

Running all day in every direction
Finding his way to civilization
Everything's gonna work out
Yes, everything's gonna work out


10. NUAGE FRACTAL

All under one command
Clouds overcast the land
Infinite division
Chaotic creation
Patterns of flat spiral
Spinning a triangle
Wind on the schizosphere
Nuage fractal appears

Out there

Dynamic intruder
Mutating whole numbers
Systems are compromised
Viruses organize
One simple memory
In every theory
All random elements
Become determinants

Out there
Out there lives someone
Pirate space kingdom

We get lost
In this chaos
Too soon for us
To be in touch

Tomorrow we will know
Something about the code
Salvation's on it's way
In the light of today
Cloud of all destiny
Ghost of reality
Nobody can detect
The butterfly effect

Out there
Out there lives someone
Pirate space kingdom

We get lost
In this chaos
Too soon for us
To be in touch
So we get lost
In this chaos
Too soon for us
To be in touch


11. FREEDOOM

The red grass up to my knees
An aura comes towards me

Someone's changed the formula
Un-chaining another law
The structures
The colors

Uniform chaos is alternating
Uniform chaos is alternating

The nature of things - The nature of things
The nature of things - The nature of things
The nature of things - The nature of things

Immense inertia
Nearly nirvana

Is this quest forever

Oceans of motion
A field of questions

I won't last forever
I won't last forever
I won't last forever
I won't last forever
I won't last forever

The nature of things - The nature of things
The nature of things - The nature of things
The nature of things - The nature of things
The nature of things - The nature of things


12. NONE OF THE ABOVE

We'll be back right after this

Following the story on my monitor
No more saving glory only flat colors
Black and white distortion back and forth all day
A fine-tuned deception I am shocked in waves

It just brings me down
It just brings me down

Looks just like the same song and the same old dance
Who is right what is wrong where's the second chance
Storm the desert home-land this one's gone too far
We hold peace in one hand in the other war

It just brings me down
It just brings me down

So, every channel's the same same weird game show quiz
What future for who's gain and the answer is
A. global destruction - b. blown-up in flames
C. polluted oceans - d. seas of disease

None of the above - none of the above
None of the above - none of the above
None of the above - none of the above
None of the above - none of the above
