1. PICTURED LIFE


Ooh! Dark meditation,
Your second sight can show my light
In a crystal ball.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.

Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.

Ooh! Dark meditation,
Deep down inside a stream of light
Begins to flow.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.

Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.

Pictured life, pictured life
Pictured life from yesterday ...



2. CATCH YOUR TRAIN


Wake up man itīs late but not too late,
Itīs six oīclock like everyday!

Get your things run and forget the rain,
Take powerpills donīt miss your train!

And youīd like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the RockīnīRoller
A different life and Whisky Cola
But donīt be low keep your own style
And catch your train!

Donīt be lazy man and work off your ass,
Heīs the boss youīve gotta do what he says!

Catch your train, run and forget those ways,
Keep it cool itīs not too late!

And youīd like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the RockīnīRoller
A different life and Whisky Cola
But donīt be low keep your own style
And catch your train!



3. IN YOUR PARK


In the night there is
A gentle voice of silence
So low and quiet
Sheīll catch me īcos Iīve been longing.

I want to walk in your park
Cos Iīm alone,
I want to walk in your heart
Where are you? I donīt know ...

I look around and see
The sunshine in the morning.
(Shadows in the night
Like angels by your side in the alley ...)

On my journey I change the time,
Leave everything behind me.
(Shadows in the night
Like angels by your side in the alley ...)

I want to walk in your park
Cos Iīm alone,
I want to walk in your heart
Where are you? I donīt know ...

Let me walk, let me walk in your heart!



4. BACKSTAGE QUEEN


Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna I know
You wanted my love and I gave it to you.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, īcos Iīm on the road.

Take it easy, donīt get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.

Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna so good
My feeling with you was all very true.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, īcos Iīm on the road.

Take it easy, donīt get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.

Hey little Donna
Sweet little Donna
Goodbye Donna ...



5. VIRGIN KILLER


Cry like you feel,
Try like you feel, feel it ...!
Try to escape,
Cry to escape, escape it ...!
Itīs so hard to run away
Heīs a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, canīt you see?
No, no, no, canīt you see?
Youīre a demonīs, youīre a demonīs,
Youīre a demonīs desire!

Death on the screen,
Sadistic magazines, watch out
Suicides evīryday,
Political ways, get it
Well, you canīt find new ways ...
But heīs a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, canīt you see?
No, no, no, canīt you see?
Youīre a demonīs, youīre a demonīs,
Youīre a demonīs desire!

Garbage in the streams,
A-bombs in your dreams, look out
Sharks in the pictures,
Exorcist prescriptions, forget it
Try to get away from that,
Cos heīs a virgin killer ...

No, no, no, canīt you see?
No, no, no, canīt you see?
Youīre a demonīs, youīre a demonīs,
Youīre a demonīs desire!



6. HELL CAT


Fire in her eyes ... burn ...
Perfume of the skies ...
Fingers cold as ice ... freeze ...
Devil in disguise!

Well, sheīs a, sheīs a, sheīs a
You know that sheīs a hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat, hell-cat
(Sheīs gonna scratch up your mind ...)
You know that guy with piccadilly-eyes
Was talking to the French boy
But didnīt realize.
Banana-long-boat-eating
Anī he tried to get a wife
But he couldnīt stay alive
Well, you know that lad with the rubber-dad
Paints his fingers yellow, blue, and red.
Anī you also know that sheīs a liar
Knowing only her desire ...



7. CRYING DAYS


Force yourself to use your brain,
The only way to gain,
A lot of things are just a lie.
This world we love comes down in pain
With hate and bloody games
A question-mark up in the sky.

Look, you canīt keep away
And you canīt hide
Tomorrow, yesterday, today ...

Some people say, weīll do it better
Some people say, everythingīs good
Some people sing, letīs come together
But nobody has ever brought it through
Maybe you and me ...



8. POLAR NIGHTS


Down, down ...
Thatīs bringing me down
The stars in the sky
Seem to fall to the ground.
Time, time ...
Iīm chasing the time
The stars in the sky
Seem to be turning round.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night of your eyes
That is soothing my mind?

Round, round ...
My mindīs whirling round
The moons in the sky
Seem to burn on the ground.
Gone, gone ...
My mightmares are gone
The moons in the sky
Seemed to eat up the sun.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Back from polar nights ...

I was down ...
I was out ...
The nights at the poleīve been
So cold without you!
I was down ...
I was out ...
The pole-star was bringing me
Back home to you.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?



9. YELLOW RAVEN


The yellow raven sipped the air
Of thunder and of rain ...
The yellow raven sipped the air
Gentle eyes kissing the rain ...

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Take me away to somewhere
Take me away from here!
Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here!

The firebird began to cry
When the music died away ...
The firebird began to cry
And smoke was slowly drifting by ...

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Take me away to somewhere
Take me away from here!
Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here ...
