I’ve played with my toys
And I `ve found myself
The game that I had invented
is not mine no more
So I feel your gaze
But it doesn’t warm me
it doesn’t warn me
doesn’t control me anymore
father
I’m still a problem child
I’ve been out to explore
forbidden fruits and hidden lust
worlds you’ve never trespassed
things you’ve never tried
father
I’m still a problem child
stoned by careless words
and burnt out
from staying awake too long
I cannot be proud
of my passion
father
I’m still a problem child
anteroom for your love
Time goes by
all my friends skate away
lost in their profession or their family
from rebels they‘ve turned to cannibals
eating themselves into hunger‘d halls
and I‘m lost
In an anteroon for your love
2001 in the early spring
I‘ve got depressed by everything I‘ve seen
give me your medecine
stop that state of mind
it‘s going on for such a long long time
and I‘m lost
In an anteroon for your love
scanning like a radar
speeding like a train
weeping like a coward
won‘t you let me in
in my self made prison
I scream without noise
emotional blackout
but I have no choice
I must stay
In an anteroom for your love
Master our lips are sealed
Lead me a oh master
to the universe next door
the next plateau
I was heading for
through pale phantoms of the past
and creatures from hell
I'll know there's a mystery ?
when I find the wishing well
master
our lips are sealed
lead me oh master
through that luminous life
where gods look like losers
and angels struggle for life
As the source of inspiration
I shall praise your name
so close to heaven
with nothing to loose and nothing to gain
master
our lips are sealed
sealed with open secrets
sealed with all the blood
sealed with the names of all the lovers
that vanished in the flood
master
our lips are sealed
walking on water
You have found me
a refugee in my own land
the migration of the heart
a strange experiment
And I’m walking on water
and I don’t give a damn
walking on water
tell me who I am
life inside a faceless crowd
afraid to say my name out loud
forget the future and bury the past
who knows what‘s gonna last
And I’m walking on water
and I don’t give a damn
walking on water
tell me who I am
Forget where you belong
forget where you come from
Forget what you receive
Forget what you believe
And I’m walking on water
and I donít give a damn
walking on water
tell me who I am
walking on water
I don’t love you anymore
here’s a song
that I dedicate to you
although I know
you’re not listening now
Your beautiful face
caused so much misery
all I see in your eyes now
is worldwar 3
I don’t love you anymore
apart from the anger
aside from the cages
I look for emotion
that is lost for ages
now I’m a robot
but I still can feel and
I wait for the moment
my wounds will heal
I don’t love you anymore
Can I count on you ?
When the clouds break out with heavy roar
can I count on you ?
with bad dreams in my sleep at night
and I know that they’re all true
REF
Can I count on you ?
when the roof is cracked and the rain comes through
Can I count on you ?
caged like an animal in a zoo
when the war is over and the zombies come home
can I count on you ?
when they knock at my door and I’m all alone
can I count on you ?
when I lose my bearings in the wilderness
Can I count on you ?
close to heaven but denied access
Can I count on you ?
Can I count on you ?
rollercoaster
Everything I see
seems meaningless to me
I’m condemmed to follow
this new intensity
I dream like a dog
and kneel like a child
these strange feelings
take me for a ride
rollercoaster.....
driving on a subway
of confusion
in this twilight
there’s no conclusion
evening rain
falls on a dirty town
let me glide through the clouds
let me soar before I touchdown
Ref
waiting in the wings
Look down on the city
cold water on your hair
Look into the mirror
But there's nothing there
I watch you from downstairs
angel on the skyscraper
before I can catch you
you vanish in a blur
Ref
I still see those people
with all their senseless things
whenever you need someone
I‘m waiting in the wings
jump like a stuntmen
and fall like a stone
like a broken plane
you’ll crash alone
will you find happiness
when you never try ?
will you ever find freedom
when you never fly
Ref
I still......
I‘m still looking for you
not for queens and kings
in case you need someone
I‘m waiting in the wings
waiting in the wings
Prisoner of your love
Between pleasure and pain
how should I draw the line
when it ends up in nowhere
can I be happy again ?
you hold me with no balls and chains
you just think of me
I wonder how I ever survived
when you are away from me
I’m a prisoner of your love
a prisoner of your love
like a beggar in a rich man’s world
like a slave between the free
with enough money to spend
but living in poverty
How could I ever fall so deep
while I was flying so high
without control but great ideas
I though I could touch the sky
I’m a prisoner of your love
a prisoner of your love
How could I ever fall so deep
while I was flying so high
without control but great ideas
I though I could touch the sky
a prisoner of your love...
I can only change myself
There’s no revolution
Until it gets you too
There’s no evolution
Until it starts within you
I’m tired of the daily wars
Of greed and lust for fame
When it comes to inner peace
There’s no-one you can blame
REF
I can only change myself
To see the world in a different light
I can only change myself
And I'm gonna start tonight
New territory we must find
And it's not the promised land
Are you ready to walk on higher ground
When reason comes to an end
Stop being so self-possessed
Stop acting like someone else
Stop believing in the same old lies
Discover a truth that no-one sells
REF
I can only change myself
To see the world in a different light
I can only change myself
And I'm gonna start tonight
