1. JUMP (FOR YOUR LIFE)

I met the bridge man
Boiled down to a stooge
He kept his eyes skinned at me
I found him
Staring at my feet

Ain't take the ditch, man'
Mutters through the rain
I shuffeled on, dragged my feet
Upon a neverending street

Then i felt his voice getting harder
Said ‚you ain't get it by waiting, for starters
Can't stop time
Ain't fall into line
Take charge of your life
Wakin' up your mind
Let me just see you

(jump)
Jump for your life
(just as hot as you can)
There'll be no one, nowhen, nowhere
To move your ass
For you
(jump)
Jump for your life
(just as hot as you can)
Feel the fire rising tonight
Jump for your life

I met a rich man
Vacant in his eyes
Slouching along, look-alike
As if he's (meint: ‚he was')
Searching for a knife

Then i felt my voice getting harder
Said ‚you ain't get it by waiting for starters
...


2. ROCK THE ROAD

Push off them small beer
I'm driving down the street
To be after the sunrise
The engine's roaring
Right at the crack of dawn
(i) can feel the street below me

I leave all behind
Dog's breakfast and dinner
(just) break out to see what's coming
I outdistance lies
Let nobody take me for a ride
Here is me'n the road is mine

Rock the road
Burn the boats to the bone
And knock around the world
Rock the road
Keep the wheels on the go
Rock the road

I live the life of Riley
While cruisin' through the scene
Call me an easy rider
I'm driving like the clappers
For me is what you see
When i am going hell for leather

I leave all behind...

Rock the road...


3. RAINDROPS

It's been so long since i got to know ya
It's been so long since i fell in love
Tonight you look to me
Like someone that strange and fascinating
As you stroke your hair
Kinda elevating
I see the rain run down your cheek
Your smiling face in the summer night's heat

Girl, (i) never saw you dancing with the raindrops
Give 'em a whirl
Bewildering my eyes
I can see the air rise
Celebrating my girl
(i) never saw you dancing with the raindrops

Thought to cotton on to you for ages
Thought to know your every single way
But here you stand that soaken wet
And go brightning
Every single lightning
Of the night's embrace
Look that absentminded
I see the rain run down your cheek
Your smiling face in the summer night's heat

Girl, i never saw you dancing with the raindrops
…

Move on to ya, struck of heap
And your flesh begins to creep
(the) die is cast
I begin to lose my head
Surrendered to you, dear
Getting into sphere
And i say

Girl, i never saw you dancing with the raindrops


4. IN THE CITY

Summer in the city
To be the bee's knees
Bath of perspiration
A summer day dream

Dust the wind
An' clouding the sky, indeed
Smog's familiar
For we're having the knack of it
In the city

Winter in the city
Sleigh-riding the street
Subway's snog and cosy
Husbanding your feet

Coming home, go feeding the microwave
Current lights the warmth
Keeps link to the outer save
Til infirmaty
What will we be?
...Will we be?

Darkness in the city
No one out there
Candles (in-)stead of city lights
Quiet in the city
Not a sound insane
'til the end of day

Don't you really wonder why
We are stuck in lullabies
Increasing sloping to a self-made scene
What will we be?
...Will we be?
...Will we be?

Darkness in the city.....


5. JULIE'S DREAM

Last night julie had a strange dream
(felt more real than reality)
Things looked sharp, more bright
Than on colour tv

Just escape from everyday life
(from the real life)
Did she have this dream
Was in fact this dream having her?

Maybe there's no deeper meaning
To her dream, to this dream
Did she tell the truth
Or just act in as role

Combination of illusions
Which decieved her
Just a cheap b-movie in her mind

Oh little julie had a dream,
She's a juggling girl
Oh little julie had a dream,
She was all dressed in black
And a silken scarf

Oh little julie had a dream,
She felt free as the wind
Oh little julie had a dream,
She was dancing alone
Told me on the phone

Feelings breaking out in visions
Memories of a former life
Signals sent to her
From a hidden ego
Fid this dream reflect her wishes
Unfulfilled needs
Prove the longing for a better life


6. GET YOU DOWN

Everyday the world is bathed in
Blue tv screen light
Far away, while world keeps turning,
(i) watch blood flooded men
Passing by

Dulled and carless
All the same to be
Resignations all you feel

Warriors instructed for their
Part in holy war
Men in glaring white slides plan to
Kill some thousands more
Revenge the native shore

Man, that gets me
Don't be fooled to think
This sheer madness leads to something good

Got that!
Who can tell me
The world could be a better place
With a thousand houses burning
Mamas crying for their bab(i)es
I'd've been told a yarn believing in a must for
A war to save the world today
Pressure you into to trust in their words
Even quite absurd
Preach an intact world
Just for gonna get you down

Pictures of a peaceful world
Ain't at all that dead absurd
See us flying through the universes range
See us gliding in supreme
Nothing will change
Hope i'll never catch the strain
'bout their might and vain


7. ALSATIAN

Sitting here, unable
Just to move a single limb
Sitting deaf and dazedly
In my think

Every step, blindfolded,
Doesn't seem to change a thing
Not a trace of boldness
Not a fling

Where's that call of nature
Torrent in my soul
That can close and break ya
And erase the cold

Scorch and scald you, warning
To deny it's voice
It absorbs you, calming,
There's no other choice
Feel yourself...

Turn into'n alsatian
Just change your mind to be free
Calling for salvation
When in rome do as the romans do

It's a wild child's imagination
Old as the world and the sea
Fall on to temptation
This is how it's meant to be

See the old moon rising
Brighten up the darkest night
Strong and paralysing
Raise(s) her sights

Here's that call of nature...


8. THE REVEREND'S HOLY SERMON

(instrumental)


9. LIKE NOTHING EVER CHANGED

It's been a thousand years
Since you sold my soul to devil's tribe
It does to feel you're near
Seems denying all this time

But don't you look upon me
Like nothing ever changed

Them frequently affairs
Passed my way and disappeared
How comes i do care
You ain't stop to break me on the wheel?

But don't you look upon me
Like nothing ever changed
An' don't you look upon me
Like nothing ever changed

Swallowing my yearning
You set the time i fall into
All my senses burning
To get revived to life
To what I've been before


10. A NIGHT OF IT

Watch you slumber slightly after
We have made a night of it
Still can hear your stifled laughter
When we've made a night of it

See you dream about the hours
We had made a night of it
For it was out of our power
When we've made a night of it

And the waters keep flooding
Like you overflowed my mind
Sweet devil in angel's guise
Guess i knew it at first sight

We have smelled the secret ocean
While we've made a night of it
Sailed the sky in velvet motion
When we've made a night of it

And the waters keep flooding
Like you overflowed my mind
Sweet devil in angel's guise

I put everything on line
Make me the fall guy
I put everything on line
Makin' me fly high
I put everything on line
hHrd to deny
For you broke the ice
Devil in angel's guise
