1989
we travel reverse in time
to meet you in 80 and 9
when the moon and the stars and the train realign
we travel reverse in time
when colours and sound intertwine
where nobody stares at their phones all the time
oh no! something went wrong.
must have set time machine to a much different song.
oh no fuck! what a blast! this ain't the past.
this must be the future.
now that i'm here i might as well look.
first thing i notice nobody's reading a book.
all behave like fish on dictator shitty pings hook.
the government tells you what to do.
making life real easy for you.
no choices no freedom of speech.
they poisen your mind like skin with skin bleach.
one thing for granted. everybody's got a SIM card implanted
you work until you die nobody looks a stranger in the eye
it makes me wanna cry.
this can't be real. this is so far from ideal.
it doesn't suit me. everybody just wants to use me.
to stuff and abuse me.
to rape and to bury me and for all of it charge me.
charge me to much. what if i just die in the wrong place
i'm mixed race. everybody is. i'm german i'm polish you're chinese.
so what? we have the same african roots. walk the exact same DNA boots.
we're identical. blood's a powerful thing.
no reason for that bullshit you sing.
bullshitskee. like russians would say.
you're just about to ruin my day.
what do i think about true blood?
is this really the question you've just asked?
well let me give you a meaningfull task.
go shit and smell it.
we travel reverse in time
to meet you in 80 and 9
when the moon and the stars and the train realign
we travel reverse in time
when colours and sound intertwine
where nobody stares at their phones all the time
mr. police officer. nobody's talking like that to me.
i'm from way in the past and can't you see.
you're a tiny wheel in mechanisms of power.
ready to be replaced any hour.
go suck your chicken finger
you're the KTV out of tune copy of a
marionette singer.
you represent a government never elected.
your speach is rejected.
shut up. you don't tell me anything.
mirrow that shit to ping brother.
nice pose. did you just make a peace sign?
think the police tank looks sexy?
now what do you think this flying piece of shit is gonna do?
bring love and peace to you?
remember tiananmen 19 and 80 and 9
we travel reverse in time
to meet you in 80 and 9
when the moon and the stars and the train realign
we travel reverse in time
when colours and sound intertwine
where nobody stares at their phones all the time

summer holiday
you say it's a sad day
like any other day
you tell me you've been down for almost a decade
you've been walking in a dark tunnel for very long
come let the colours in
let love begin
kill the darkness within
i think we should do a summer holiday
just to take it away
i can find a place for the two of us to stay
we should leave right away
you can quit your job
i can play guitar
we can go really really far
we can buy a boat or maybe rent a car
we could go really really far
you tell me darkness feels secure to you
but that's just what depression's voice is telling you
you're so desperate for love why push it all away
come let the colours in
let love begin
kill the darkness within
i think we should do a summer holiday
just to take it away
i can find a place for the two of us to stay
we should leave right away
you can quit your job
i can play guitar
we can go really really far
we can buy a boat or maybe rent a car
we could go really really far
you can't hide in a campfire
join me living on a fence
to feel alive
to feel something more
in a fantasy world
living for a dream
i think we should do a summer holiday
just to take it away
i can find a place for the two of us to stay
we should leave right away
you can quit your job
i can play guitar
we can go really really far
we can buy a boat or maybe rent a car
we could go really really far

Blue
everybody feels the rain
everybody feels the rain
let it wash away the pain
everybody feels the rain
slowly down the drain
my love i can't explain
you do it again and again
everybody feels the rain
tomorrow i'll lose my mind
the sadness i can't leave behind
sometimes love is so hard to find
so blue in this need for you
i drive my car to spain
i'm so sick of the rain
you do it again and again
everybody feels the rain
everybody feels the rain
everybody feels the rain
let it wash away the pain
everybody feels the rain
a rain to drown all rains
a hard a long rain it's like living underwater
i'd give everything for hat
how many years since the rain stopped raining
one more day and i'll go mad
rain drops heavy like sunsets
tomorrow i'll lose my mind
the sadness i can't leave behind
sometimes love is so hard to find
so blue in this need for you
so blue in this need for you
so blue in this need for you

china instant nudeln
der zug rattert und macht geräusche
und ist auch wie ein schiff
landschaft ist karg. ja traumhaft karg.
und schroff und kühl. und schlammig.
die lokomotive tutet oft.
dann klingt sie wie ein müdes tier
klingt sie wie ein müdes tier
welches schon lang unterwegs war
und das war sie ja auch.
das war sie ja auch.
eben begrüßten sich zwei züge
das klang ungefähr genau so.
eeeeeaaaaaauuuuurrrhhh
iiiiiiiaaaaaauuurrrrhhh
was soll das nur bedeuten?
ich glaube - die können - sich auch
mit walen unterhalten.
der zug wird lauter und schaukelt auch
berge wie wellen auf uns zu
grenzen sind zum überwinden da
funkelnd versteinert zugefror'n
ich geh wir mal die instant nudeln aufwärmen
bald sind wir am baikal see
sind wir am baikal see
wie sich die sonne an den bäumen
vorbeizuschummeln sucht
vorbei zu schummeln sucht
oh ja.
eben begrüßten sich zwei züge
das klang ungefähr genau so.
eeeeeaaaaaauuuuurrrhhh
iiiiiiiaaaaaauuurrrrhhh
was soll das nur bedeuten?
ich glaube - die können - sich auch
mit walen unterhalten.

up
you want to keep the dream alive - don't wake up
everytime i'm in the city - just don't wake up
no need to run no need to hide - if you just don't wake up
you want to understand why you're fucked and chained up
you want to roll with me - come let's shake it all up
you want to be forever in love - don't wake up
you behind the steering wheel - we never stop we mix it all up
a mountain to climb
a sea to cross
a bay to dive
a game to shake up
a lover to love
a wave to ride
a sky to fly
i'm tighten this up
if you wanna keep flying with me - don't wake up
an apple hanging from a tree - my mind is made up
there's a voice in my head telling me to screw it all up
a story to tell
a wall to paint
there's light here ready to shine
and i cry one tear
i sink right in
i turn up and i breath in
and i set my sails
i blow in
this is fun
we're here to begin
i came here to be alone
so far from home
let me surrender all myself
and all my happiness to you
ouh ouh
so much easier to fly when you're gravity free
no weight ever drags on me
so much easier to time relatively
no wait ever bothers me
so much easier to judge unconsciously
no! wait! can you follow me
bridges to you bridges to me bridges to you
a song to sing
a wall to paint
there's future here ready to be
and a draw one line
the ink sinks in
the papers' gone and it's everything
i shuffle my red
i turn it blue
one earth to live up to and so much to do.
a mountain to climb
a sea to cross
a bay to dive
a game to shake up
a lover to love
a wave to ride
a sky to fly
i'm tighten this up

Clouds
hold my hand baby i'm your man
this story begins as the day ends
you know - some clouds are cool
hush now baby no need to cry
i will always be - by your side
you know - some clouds have blue eyes
and i spread my butterfly wings
i lend you my one labyrinth
i'm howling like a dog
i can't stand myself
it's so easy to be stranded
it's so easy to be sad
it's so easy to be heartbroken
some clouds have wings
i woke up early with the lights stil blue
the earth and the wind were shinig through
you know - some clouds are cool
you were earth you were on fire
i was wind i took you higher
you know - some clouds have blue eyes
leaves are growing from out of my body
i feel like a zombie
i want to eat your brain
i can't stand myself
it's so easy to be stranded
it's so easy to be sad
it's so easy to be heartbroken
some clouds have wings
some clouds have wings

Key To Your Heart

key to your heart
you voted that wall that you thought would protect you
and now that it's there you hope nobody will get through
one day maybe you'll get it's a prison you've made
and the fear that you had will only rise and not fade
one day maybe luck might change and you'll need to leave
now what is it you think you deserve to receive
being scared of living is the worst thing to do
it's so screwed up so fucked up you'll end up split up in two
gimme the key to your heart
cos i really can't stand the way
i know inside you're watermelon sweet
now freedom and peace are the only protection
and your pompous anger is a stupid reaction
if you think the brave are stupid and the stupid are brave
then i cry for you for being your own fears slave
this wall between us is just a vulgar display
of national sovereignity that is about to decay
when the rich are getting richer on the shoulders of the poor
the world will never be what is was before
gimme the key to your hear
cos i really can't stand the way
i know inside you're
watermelon sweet
when that wall comes crashing down honey
i'll be there for you

blue flamingo
when i think of you my love
a blue flamingo flies for me
and i'm overcome
with longing, with longing
carry me far
my train never left
and i'm stil there
saying hello
i want the whole world
to travel with me
'cross the sea
endlessly
endlessly
i've looked death straight in the eye
it is no one's friend
drugged in the river of love
deeper then an ocean
did i come here
to forget
everything
my train never left
and i'm stil here
saying hello
travel with me
across the sea
endlessly
endlessly
i wanna love you
how much i love you
oh you will never know

i'm your fool
you are the magic of the moment
let me love your skin and soul for one beat
you complete me
i'm lost completely
i'd love to love you till the day i die
i want to be the one who makes you cry
don't go away don't turn your back on me now
you walk every step as if it would be the last
you breath every breath as if time would never pass
oh move the lot between us away
i want to love you when the night begins
you are the moon - the sun of all sins
don't leave me here - i'm so far away
let me love you to the end of light
to ease your pride come with the devil
i just want to let you know that
i'm your fool
let me love you to the end of light
to ease your pride come with the devil
i just want to let you know that
i'm your fool
you're hard to get

over
over its over
you playing this game
driving me home
driving me insane
riding me hard squeezing the pain
pulling the flash pulling the gain
isn't it always the same?
these are just words
meaningless words
baby it hurts baby it hurts
it hurts so much
make my soul understand
make my body understand
make my mind understand
wake up!
i don't know that you don't know my name
its meaningless all the same
the meaning of fame
love is like rain
it never rains in the desert
make my soul understand
make my body understand
make my mind understand
i was cold like a seed in winter for so long
hungry like a cat when the night is gone
any day any hour
hungry for this life
i'm moody like a drunk with no cash and spirit
hungry for this life
death sick like a lake full of trash and poison
hungry for this life
i was hoping like a fugee
with nothing else but hope
looking at my bare hands running from the rope
a belly full of puke and death sick and full of poison
but babe. i'm headed for horizon
hold my hand - let this fever come down
heart so sick pain so strong body so weak
over it's over
war is poison
guns are poion
babe i'm headed for horizon
you can turn around
but you can never go back
you can turn around
but you can never go back
war ain't nothing for the wise man

Let Me Sing You A Song
let me sing you a song while the train moves along
let me sing you a song while the train moves along
i choose to be free oh its so good to be
i choose to be free oh its so good to be
they don't want me to sing
they won't let me in
they'll send me back home oh they'll send me back home
caged others away so far away
some were never be seen some were never be seen
the boarder guard says if you're here to sing
then we won't let you oh we won't let you in
you go back home you go back home
this country ain't free oh this country ain't free
this country ain't free oh this country ain't free
let me sing you a song while the train moves along

Time Machine
Couldn't think of any other reason
couldn't find another way
I reached out to the stars.
called upon the universe, persuaded mars.
arguing the heavens.
I kneeled down and begged
hugged the biggest trees
climbed highest mountains n sailed the seven seas
i'll build a time machine if only to share love with you
i built this time machine and every fiber in my body knows.
That today's the day
today's the day
today's the perfect day
to go
You're my great great love
of you i just can't get enough
And if the oceans agree
we go back to fourteen twelve BC
i get nervous if i think about
how life would be in a different time.
Cos here in twenty twenty two
it seems there is no space left for us.
i'll build a time machine if only to share love with you
i built this time machine and every fiber in my body knows.
That today's the day
today's the day
today's the perfect day
to go
