Down in the ocean is a little catfish He used to be my best friend in a childish wish Up in the sky there is a big fat bird His wings cast shadows where no sound is heard Far in the distance is a story book casting spells oneveryone who doesn't look On the sand is a castle with a king inside andhe has forgotten how to kiss his bride and I got runes in my bag and a crystal ball, you can ask me anything, I will predict it all But it's up to you if it's coming true - it's your own decision what you're gonna do I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be decent in a world which is haunting me Down in the alley is a sick old man and he keeps his brain in a frying pan Floating on the river is a paper boat It's delivering wisdom to the ones who know And on top of the mall the witches ride their brooms, there ain't no more ups and downs and there ain't no doom A young girl is dancing upon a star and then she gets run over by a model car I got runes in my bag and premonition inside and fear is on my shoulder and the light's too bright I foresee what's gonna happen, but it's up to you, you can believe it ot not, what's true is always true It's hard to be a fortune teller anyway, your world is haunting me, your value is decay Merlin's grandson made satellite which can light the whole world in all parts at night and now the ravens sing it in their croaking voice: you must look, you must work, you must, you've got no choice The children can't write and they can't even speak and they can only see when they're watching TV They got a button on their back and a little key and robots produce them in a factory I still got runes in my bag and a crystal ball - my cards on the table trying to warn you all and the nothing in the world is such an awful lot that you ain't really got a thing of those you think you got I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be decent in a world which is haunting me I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be friendly in your world world because it's haunting me I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be - to be in a world which keeps on haunting me I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be - your world is haunting me, yeah it keeps haunting me |
How come I wonder where I am going Feeling so homesick when I got no home Being with you, Babe is a castle on sand It has been drifting there ain't no land So I might leave you, it seems, for my different dreams How come I wonder where I have been Remembering places I've never seen Being with you, Babe is a boat on the sea floating through icebergs - it's hard to be free So I might leave you, it seems, for my different dreams and when the sun pours light over me I wish it was dark then, and see what'll be and when the darkness wraps around me I find it so cold then warm it should be and when I'm with you now and you fill me with heat I'm just longing for love you won't find what you seek and if some day I'm coming across it by chance I might want you to be there in that wonderland So I might leave you, it seems, for my different dreams |
I remember a merry-go-round and a flying horse on it moves up and down lights flicker colors all over the fair You think you get on, but it's going nowhere and then I remember the day it was gone and I remember the day it stopped turning Then I didn't know what was going on and I see the flames and the wooden horse burning and all the colors were smoke in the weeping air and I started running, running for money and I have been running, running for life and I have been running, running for everything and I have been running, only to find All I ever needed was some love, Baby All I ever wanted was some love, Baby and now I think maybe, maybe I'll stay I think maybe, maybe I'll stay for a day I remember the tunes full of joy life in the hand of a child is a toy Patterns on brocade wind over the land and when life turns a fair, it all works, they pretend and even the world must keep spinning, we learn Moving in circles can be so amusing Who is afraid of the day it'll burn Feeling too dizzy can be so confusing Just keep on running around to feel fine again I had been running, running for money and I have been running, running for life and I have been running, running for everything and I have been running, only to find All I ever needed was some love, Baby All I ever wanted was some love, Baby and I have been coming along your way, Baby and I have been coming a long, long way, Baby and I have been running too long a way and now I think maybe, maybe I'll stay I think maybe, maybe I'll stay - for a day or two - or three - or maybe forever Maybe, maybe, maybe for eternity. |

Sitting in the shadow of an old willow tree - all alone there upon a meadow thinking of you and me - where you've gone You had said you're gonna meet me in the morning Sitting in the shadow of an old willow tree - there upon a meadow, all the world full of glee Waiting for you, but I guess you are leaving me - all alone. Birds do fly over mountains and seas Clouds are white - they are free like the breeze In the morning, world awaking, there is sunlight and shade in the morning, I am waiting, cause I think we had a date and I'm addicted to you, I just can't help it I'm addicted to you, won't let you go I'm addicted to you, although I hate it I'm addicted to you, and I guess you know Words do fly and meanings don't cease Vows comply with our need to be pleased In a promise, hope is rising, growing colors that won't fade It's a ribbon, it's disguising, it can be an open gate and I'm addicted to you... Sitting in the shadow of the old willow tree - don't know why Spirits got to get low, what you said seems to be - lies, just lies Don't believe you want to treat me like you're doing Sitting in the shadow of the old willow tree Stand me up again, so that I no longer see if I want to trust you, but I know I'm not free - and I'll try. |
There's a lady in the fountain, with waterwhite hair
She's made out of water, she won't ever care She's got one leg to dance on and a thousand arms Her hips move around her, sparkling out her charms When you think she is smiling, her body drowns in tears and when she stops dancing she'll have to disappear She's the lady of the fountain Shakes her waterwide hair Lady of the fountain Will never have to care The lady of the fountain - dances with everyone She's made out of water, She'll never have fun Lady of the fountain She's fragile and wild, and her watersoul's cold her power artificial - spite out of a hole Feel the breeze that she sends you to show she's alive Feel her damp curls caress you, and the dew they leave behind On your skin when you hold her, she'll splash herself away Celebrating her freedom - just watch the way she plays She's the lady of the fountain Shakes her waterwide hair Lady of the fountain Will never have to care The lady of the fountain - dances with everyone She's made out of water, She'll never have fun |
Christmas is over, Cristmas is never again Late in december you tried to tell me you didn't like my lifestyle All things are ending, don't you confuse me my life ain't over, I'm feeling fine Christmas is over, Cristmas is never again Lasted a long time, years I will treasure what'll come now I wonder Ends are beginnings of a new pleasure I'm looking out towards fun there Christmas is over, Cristmas is never again Our love is over, it'll come never again I am not sad, I must accept what you say Our time was good, and I'm grateful today That is the way things are going some time Felt it before that you're no longer mine But I don't care because you don't own my heart I will look forward to another new start Cristmas is over, Christmas is never again Our love is over, it'll come never again Our love is over, you made it come to an end Our love is over, your life is no longer mine All things go over, they must go over in time |
Time travels on on the wings of my thoughts Into a land that I once used to dream of It's scary to float in a fantasy boat But time travelled on to the future that's gone Time travels on, it has never been true I feel I ride on a gale on the ocean There's beauty and sand, dead birds on a strand Waves eat a land which I don't understand Time takes me on, it'll never calm down Try not to care - try not to drown So scary to be, scary to be free premonition's no friend, and memories haunting me How many times will I travel on How many seasons more How many seas will I have to sail When will I find my shore |
All those hours - feel when they are passing precious moments - we cannot see them move But they won't return Time's running quietly It won't come back You cannot store it in a sack All those long days - we didn't see they won't last Endless seasons - fading away so soon and they won't return Stop living tomorrow You won't catch it today It is always ahead of you anyway What are we always running after What do we really want to find It'll be too late after leaving so many useless hours behind Wasting our time away by searching Looking for what we do not lack This very moment will be over in a second Then there's no way to get it back Life is a million of these moments and they're all you ever really own Don't let impatience take them from you Follow the road that leads you home. What do you want - what do you really want Time will not return |
There's fall outside and fall in me and fall is on the windowpane The storm's getting cold, the clouds look bold the sun tries lighting life in vain A little candle's burning tall and flickers shadows upon the wall No, life, I own no peace in fall for love is lord of all and often when our music plays I feel the moon like spotlight shine Reflecting the challenge of those days when your life was a part of mine I hear a whisper in the fire the voice of wisdom is nice and calm We had it all, despair and desire and life is really lord of all |
Never had a ruby or a diamond ring But Baby, I can sing Never had a pocket full of money on me But Baby; I am free Never saw a genie in a bottle of gin But Baby, I can dream Never been a winner, often missed a chance But Baby, I can dance And I can fly, fly away |
Well, the world ain't shattered, but sure it ain't safe All the winds are alert, You just got to be brave There are hate and suspicion And maybe better ways Is it faith or superstition what it takes to be amazed? One dream's killed, but another was born, and the devil a-dancin, Gabriel blowing his horn and the world keeps turning, and the prophets don't care, Which value is burning, or if a man's bare. All the fairies are hidden in their flowers in spring and if you ask Merlina she won't tell you anything all the drops in the ocean, they are sad and they cry. But the Lords of the darkness, they enjoy their apple pie. Your houses are high, your falls are deep your cars are fast, but the bridges too steep Good days tend to leave, yet the beast is asleep and the hope in the party is powered by greed. You try anything, and you got luck. You got everything, and now you got stuck. and the rails of your brain don't lead far any more. and your feelings are sold, and your heart is a whore. A room full of vigilance, a stock full of fears, and a little box of knowledge and wisdom full of tears. and the times aren't right for paradise birds each idea got his bride and some got more than they deserve. All the mermaids in the waves they dive and they sink the sirens stop singing and the magic dragons shrink. and the love and the promises are laughing in the sky and a little dog's howling at the stars passing by. |
Reality is not for you Dream on, your dream may then come true and ask it what you are to do when timelessness comes by The addicts always got their aim The priests have gods with lots of names But limits cannot be the same when freedom limits life Your lady with her lifted face, Her love is second-hand, no longer knows what to ebrace She wants a plastic man It's speed you take for quality and stress is your success and gaude screams out convincingly while silence rests in death The blackberries, they shouldn't grow thorns in your concrete house, I know You loved them in your pudding though- delicious, clean, and small Words used to be demons' villages But empty homes decay like privileges and to fill just a shape with images means life to ruined walls Eternity has become short It lasts a movie-scene The universe was made to fit upon a TV-screen They kill someone, they fight for fun and they conserve the bore and everything's become a deal, and happiness a whore. |
Don't be sad, don't you cry - go along your highway If you leave, I won't sigh, - I'm gonna do it my way Put a smile on my face - and go on forever Bygone days are bygone haze - and there ain't never "never" Joy, joy is a little coy, joy is kind of shy Love, love is a little tough - but you won't hear me sigh Don't believe you feel the heat - the fire getting older There are ways to survive - even if it's colder Just put on your fastest shoes - and a skin of leather Sunny days are funny days - but we got stormy weather Joy, joy is alittle toy, joy is kind of shy Love, love is a little tough-but you won't hear me sigh So: put on your smile and your warm wintercoat and go on all along your lonesome raod and just leave what you hate before it's too late and no matter what you feel like, you've got light load Joy, joy is a little boy, joy is kind of shy Love, love is a little tough - but you won't hear me sigh Put your smile on and your coat - and go on forever Easy load or heavy load - it won't be getting better Don't need love, have power enough - roam along your highway You're not strong, come along - but: I'm gonna do it my way. I'm gonna do it my way |
When you see me doing nothing I am not wasting time When you see me doing I might be feeling fine Cause I am where I want, lost in my mind Have you ever tried a day dream, try and see what you find. There are people who are busy trying to catch a bit of time But this way they won't grasp it, and they don't see the sun shine Life is not just outside, it takes place in your mind Have you ever tried a day dream, try and see what you find. Don't say it's good for nothing if you're able to dream Don't say its not true, just because it's not real Time passes anyway, if you feel it or not, Watch out, it'll grab the things you think you have got When you're low and don't know if there is freedom of a kind When you cannot relax and you fear what's behind Looking so hard for something that can ease your mind Have you ever tried a day dream, try and see what you find. There are times when I'm lost in a day dream |
Late last night I was feeling fine Late last night I thiught you were going to be mine I had been trying so hard not to get burned up in an hour I wouldn't have believed it was for only one time Early this morning - daylight already rolling round Early this morning, you forgot what it all had been about Early this morning, I realized the way you must have been thinking and I felt so bad about it as soon as I went out Early this morning, I realized I was doing wrong Shouln't have stayed with you, but I hadn't been so strong Now it is too late, I'm in trouble again and you're not worth it, 'cause it didn't last long I was for you just another girl In just another night I was for you just another girl In just another night |
Moon rises over the forest, moon rises over the town Moon flying white horses moonlight is pouring down - like milk Moonlight is all around Keeps dripping on the ground All things begin to float Drowse - daytime in a boat And it's dripping from trees and dancing on seas and streaming over meadows creating beautiful shadows, * Strange voices out of water, strange voices in the wind Strange features, night's daughters mild creatures, songs they sing - like silk Knowing a lullaby breathe veils around the sky sounds drizzling out silence trying to drown violence they know what rest is, they can give peace, and they don't disturb a lover and offer wonderers cover. * They can as well flood wisdom with tears Those they don't like will only sense fright and fears - It's dangerous - rapturous - treacherous * Moon rises over the forest mild mellow over the town Narcotic resources spilt moonlight pouring down - like milk. |
