Simulator
Right
I got the feeling that something's wrong
It may be your fault I guess
Well talk on, we'll see who's right
Oh maybe something that I said?
This discussion's breaking down
We better quit here right now
Right
There is a difference in speak and talk
I won't explain that to you now
But I thought you know about that type
Of conversations
Oh please spare me
It's embarecing to see
Just another simulator
Just another simulator
Just go on, let's simulate right now
In a way I could use
Something beautiful to smash
Just go on and you lose it
Doesn't matter anyhow
Right
I tried to give away to score your mood
But it's tearing me apart
Cos it's give and take and get
So if you try again next time...
...will there be a next time or just
Just another simulator
Just another simulator
Just go on and simulate right now
Right
I got the feeling that something's wrong
It may be your fault I guess
Just another simulator
Or maybe something that I said?
This discussion's breaking down
We better quit here right now
Just another simulator
Just go on, let's simulate right now
In a way I could use
Something beautiful to smash
Just go on
Yeah you lose all matters when I go
In a way I could use a
high procentic drink right now
Just go on and you lose it
Doesn't matter anyhow

Hasn't Happened Yet
Waiting for the sun to melt the mood of my heart
Thinking of the days
But cannot think my thoughts loud
Waiting for a moment, a move to react
Something that hasn't quite happened yet
Can you tell what I say from what I mean
Can you read my mind and explain it to me
Is there anything I might miss
To pay more attention to?
Is there something wrong
In what I always do?
Waiting for a cloud to lift me up in the sky
I need to look from above why I'm down all the time
Scares me to see you agree to their laws
But the smallest reaction does still need a cause
If you get the chance twice
Are you sure you would try the same way?
Remember all of your tries have brought you here
Is there any question in time?
Any answer to the big mark?
Cos I look and I find any change even from this far
Looking for direction in an everchanging time
Should I turn to the left or turn to the right?
Just a little kick to some of those sides
But I stuck in the middle with a limited sight
And I can't keep from holding on
When I haven't started yet
I can't keep on trying but I still do
And I won't break the circle
Mine is not a straight line
But I'm always trying to continue
Waiting for the sun to melt the mood of my heart
Thinking of the days
But cannot think my thoughts loud
Waiting for a moment, a move to react
Something that hasn't quite happened yet
No something that hasn't quite happened yet

Waiting At The Surface

Waiting At The Surface
Waiting at the surface
Waiting for someone
Waiting, I am waiting
waiting all along
Take me to the center
Show me where it starts
Moving, I'm just moving
Moving anywhere
Travelling without direction
A new beginning in the air
Longing for the mountains
Longing for the sea
Take me for a ride now
Right into my heart
Breathing, only breathing
Breath inside my heart
Blow your hair quite curly
Breathing out and in
Moving, I'm just moving
Moving anywhere
Travelling without direction
A new beginning in the air
Longing for the mountains
Longing for the sea
Catch the train and get off
To something new for me

Concertina & The White Guitar
Won't you wait for me
Look what they've to spend to
This white guitar has a broken nek
But it's still in tune
Won't you wait for me
Carrying the goods in
The g-string is missing
I best put these strings to keep
Her from flipping over
While you're just moving on
And I shout a goodbye
And you're turning around
And it seems that my eyes lose its light
To see you smiling back at me
Would you lead me now
So I can see if I can trust
And I carry the goods that we found back in
Won't you wait for me
I fear you're leaving me
I fear that you leave and I feel that I'm lost
So please take my hand
So I can see if I can trust
Oh please stay with me
On my bike I ride all over the westwall
From north to south
Thru the woods
Down old highways
High above
Thru the clouds of the skybridge
And back down
And back down
You won't wait for me
You won't wait for me
It's hard to see for me
You won't wait for me
And it seems I am asleep
in some other parallel univers
As I try to wake myself
Someone's tickling me
You won't wait for me

Tidal Waves Or War [Part 1] (Rainbow Dress)
She appears with her long black hair
The second time in a row
First as an action-figure
Now as an ethiopian child
In her rainbow dress
In her rainbow dress
In her rainbow dress
And everytime we're torn apart
By tidal waves or war
Cos in this space I'm living in
We couldn't be farther apart
And I swim underwater
Yeah I dive below all visitors
Whose came to see the show
At the themepark
At the themepark
At the themepark
But I was growing appetite
For some candy and some junk
So I left and couldn't get back in
And Joey and someone were driving my car
And did some nice stunts
Yeah we had a lot of fun
And I was just longing to
Get back home to you

Sleep Again
I thought I knew
I been prepared
But finally this state is there
I dare any reaction
Except then lock myself away
I just survive by sleep all day
I'd turn the clock to it will happen
The second month of every year again
Won't pass me and
I go to sleep again
Although I knew it'll come to this
Guess the experience had shown it would
It's kinda like a bad surprise
I still can't handle with that mood
Those easy tricks I know to fix
All of these lunatics inside my brain
An icy rain make the blackbird sing again
I just woke to fall asleep once new
I can't stand to be surrounded by you
Even I warned you I'm not sure
You understand this state I'm in
I just can hope for you still like me
When these phases finally end
I hope we are still friends then
It's something different just to talk of
Then to be right into this again
Be patient then
So I will sing again
I just woke to fall asleep once new
I can't stand to be surrounded by you

Long Way To Go
It's feeling like a long way to go
Can you get me some
Every bend around another
Isn't it a long way to go
In spiral moves
Say it ain't like it looks like
Maybe I'm afraid to go home
One million circles are spinning in front of my eyes
Is this one of my turns?
If so please dim the lights
Maybe there's no sense in try on
To find the one
I Won't stop but I'm gonna guess so
Maybe it's just time to belong to myself
That might be the trick to start things
Rare light in dark days
I think I'm losing my mind
Just one of my turns
And I just cannot hide

Quiet Humming In The Back Of My Head
In the dark of my room I melt
Words in my head, they come together
Then they suddendly fade
I'm tired of writing so they slip away
Until everything's gone there is still
A quiet humming in the back of my head
I'm waiting for you now nearly an hour
The second time today
Yeah thanx a lot!
I'm some kind of drowning in thoughts
Hey what am I worth?
I need something to remind me what is good
A quiet humming in the back of my head
Late at night when there's nobody home
I'm looking for the sound to let my heart grow
When I am lonley and there's no aim ahead
I am glad there's still
A quiet humming in the back of my head

Dustset
Yeah it's healing in a special way
Don't you wake me
I'm far away
Our movement is nearly frozen
I'd loved you really like me to stay
I would be there night and day
Just a slight turn softly into grey
The dustset's rising
And I can't see no way back in
All blurry and I like it here this way
Surrounded by a thousand tears
I'm swimming next to you my dear
I'm drowning
Yet I touched the ground
Today
Today
Today
Today
Yeah it's healing
When I lose my way
It's healing
I go on that way
It's healing
Bang bang bang bang bang!
I'd loved you really like me to stay
I would be there night and day
Just a slight turn
A slight turn
A slight turn
Softly into grey

Flourman
Sidewalk I never walked
Leads me to a house in the fields
Great hall just miles away
I have to walk when the road's okay
Cos thru the spiral to your room
Across the island
I'm there soon
Flourman
I'm miles away
I hide inside a house today
And next to me the beauty sleeps
We can't wake up
Of this apocalyptic dream
Cos thru the spiral
Like a numb
Where is your face...?
Outside the bloom of spiral stairs
That are in your eyes
No one realises
You got no hands
You got no feet
You got no face
Cos you don't really need
Your room's too small
Don't bother me
No answer still
I won't get free
I'm lost in here and if you can
Leave this place
Flourman
And thru this spiral like a numb
My ears won't hear but I ain't dumb
My hands won't feel but I can tell
No answer still
I leave the cell
Goodbye flourman
Goodbye flourman
Goodbye flourman
Goodbye flourman
Leave this place
Flourman
Leave this place
Flourman

Lank
I take a walk into the dark
To tear black and white apart
Something I don't understand
When there's a start seems there's no end
It's a good time to try some other
Way right out of here
It's a good time
Why do I bother?
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
It's a decision for deciders
It's something more then just a try
I keep my hand close to my heart
And watch their stars fall from the sky
It's a good time to try another
Way right out of here
It's a good time
Why do I bother?
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
It's a good time to try some other
Way right out of here
It's a good time
Why do I bother?
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here

Once In A Lifetime

Once In A Lifetime
I got this pen and this blank page
Cos this window's just flipping off again
And these words run thru my fingers
This ink is like the blood of my pain
Surely unprotected
And I'm scared somebody could turn the joke on me
But I'm looking for some kind to lighten love of my heart
And this moment could set it free
Once in a lifetime
Maybe once in a lifetime
I beg nobody disturb this
So I might get loose
I open up to the unknown
A fragile state that could break any moment you wake
And i hang on as long as this connection is stable
Before I'm passing the next exit-gate
A state of mind I am joining
And I wish I just could stay there eternally
But the trouble with those moments is
They are always rare
So I'm joining while I'm there
Maybe once in a lifetime
Maybe once in a lifetime
I beg nobody disturb this
So I might get loose
Only once in a lifetime
Maybe once in a lifetime
I beg nobody disturb this
So I might get loose
I got the weapon
But I can't use
Only once in a lifetime
Only once in a lifetime
I beg nobody disturb this
So I might get loose
I got the weapon
But I won't use

Tidal Waves Or War [Part 2] (Loot)
How did they get me to the army
How did it get you also there
A five day excercise at the airplane hangar
But every week and every day
We do the jumping-level
All over again
All over again
All over
The old turk at the candystore
Inside a supermarket-store
told me to decide first
But as I choose the choice seemed to diminish
So I checked the electric devices to my left
Extended in a glass cabinet
And I found a loot-machine
And it just cost 9 coins
But the salesclerk told me
This was not for sale
