sitting on top of a tree
looking down on me - too blue
to be looking up to a dream of yours
a painting of a room with a million doors
the memory of a key in a sea of time
the keeper of the tree is no friend of mine
falling down
i'm falling down

sitting on top of the world
looking down on you - too blue
to be looking up to a dream of mine
a painting of a shoe like a porcupine
a painting of a wood in the south of france
standing by the edge of a new romance
i'm falling down
isn't it true
on days that are blue
a light in the heart comes shining through
todos contentos y yo tambien
there's a word on my lips
spelled like: the end

flying with the wings of a dove
looking down on love - too blue
to be looking up to a dream of light


a painting of the world but far too bright
a picture of your luck that turned it's back
a crumpled paper plane has left it's track
falling down
sitting on top of a cloud
looking down on me - too blue
to understand the point of that dream of mine
the painting of a shoe like a porcupine
the painting of a wood in the south of france
standing by the edge of a new romance
falling down
i'm falling down

isn't it true
on days that are blue
a light in the heart comes shining through
todos contentos y yo tambien
there's a word on my lips
spelled like: the end

spoken:
unforgettable - nothing is
which may be a curse or may be a bliss
one or the other something it'll be
someone sometime may look like me

love is something
love can pass
on to another someone (who) has
had a much stronger will to hold
on to a something that grows cold
unforgettable - nothing is
which may be a curse or may be a bliss
one or the other something it'll be
someone sometime may look like me

time is something
time can pass
and that comes close to all that it ever does
throughout the year it possibly may
make you a gift of the things gone astray
love is something
love can pass
on to another someone (who) has


had a much stronger will to hold
on to a something that grows cold
unforgettable - nothing is
which may be a curse or may be a bliss
one or the other something it'll be

I Walk Ahead Alone
You Tell Me Not To Go So Fast
But I Am Slower Than You Think
I Am As Careful As Your Touch
When You Want Me To Relax
I Am As Serious As Your Looks
When You Want Me To Believe Oh Oh Oh
Here Is A Blueprint Of Your Past
Here Is A Blueprint Of Your Destiny
I Walk Ahead Alone
You Tell Me Not To Go So Fast
I Sneak Around The Corner
With A Blueprint Of My Lover
With A Blueprint Of My Life
I Would Better Run For Cover
I Sneak Around The Corner
With A Blueprint Of My Lover
With A Blueprint Of My Life
I Would Better Run For Cover Yeah!
I Walk Ahead Alone


You Tell Me Never Ever Leave Me
But I Am Already Gone
I Am Further Than The Wall
You Have Built Around Your Future
I Am Higher Than The Tower
You Climb In A Suicidal Mood Oh Oh Oh
Here Is A Blueprint Of Your Past
Here Is A Blueprint Of Your Destiny
That's All There Is Of You
And That's All There Is Of Me Yeah!
I Sneak Around The Corner
With A Blueprint Of My Lover
With A Blueprint Of My Life
I Would Better Run For Cover
I Sneak Around ...
Sneak Around ...
Sneak Around ... (...)

in heaven everything is fine
in heaven everything is fine
in heaven everything is fine
you got your good things
and i got mine

there's a big house on the mountain
and a garden with a tree
there's a husband and some children
but they don't belong to me
there's a dirtroad to the valley
where the horses can run free
and a mustang and a driver who can take us to the sea

there's a big heat on my balcony
and i feel lonely as can be
so i walk down to the market
shady place
through a crack upon the ceiling
we have just a scanty light
so it won't be too revealing
when i dance a waltz for jane
my waltz for jane

there's a big light
in a big sky
'pon a big dream
when it comes true
this town will never look the same
in a big sky
'pon a big dream


when it comes true
this town will never look the same

there's a big light in the sky
and i know why it shines on me
'cause my next step is forever
and my next turn sets me free
a waltz for jane
my waltz for jane

there's a big light
in a big sky
'pon a big dream
when it comes true
this town will never look the same
in a big sky
'pon a big dream
when it comes true
this town will never look the same

du coeur à la tête
cèst une très longue route
et je vais sans doute
un jour y aller
dans une petite pochette
mes affaires de toilette
et si tu me laisse
j`y vais toujours rester
car mon coeur il pardonne
mais il peut pas oublier
et ma tête elle oublie
mais sait jamais pardonner
entre l`amour et la haine
se trouvent les champs-elysees
de l`un et de l´autre
une melange fâcheux
j`aime les jours clares
et les nuits obscures
comes les gents du cinéma
et dans la literature
j`explore le néant
pour trouver une ouverture
oui, je cherche le chemin
pour m`enmenner vers le demain
non, jamais jamais
j`irais me contenter
d`être une histoire sans espoire
d`arrêter dans les couloirs
de l`avenir ecoulé
je sais bien que tu pense
un jour j`irais regretter
les consequênces de la decision que j`ai fait
mais je n`ai pas peur
de retourner
`vec ma petite pochette
et mes affaires de toilette
et ma nouvelle habitude
de fumer des cigarettes
et tout ce lourd savoir
que j`ai accumuler
non, jamais jamais
j`irais me contenter
d`être une histoire sans espoire
d`arrêter dans les couloirs
de l`avenir ecoulé
non, jamais jamais
j`irais me contenter
d`être une histoire em forme de poire
d`arrêter dans les couloirs
de l`avenir ecoulé

bem sei que estou endoidecendo
bem sei que falha em mim quem sou
sim, mas enquanto me nao rendo
quero saber por onde vou

ainda que vale?
para render- me
ao que o destino me faz ser
quero um momento aqui deter-me
e descansar a conhecer

ha grandes lapsos de memoria
grandes paralelas perdidas
e muita lenda e muita historia
e muitas vidas muitas vidas



tudo isso; agora me perco de mim
e vou a transviar
quer chamar a mim, e cerco
meu ser de tudo relembrar

ha grandes lapsos de memoria
grandes paralelas perdidas
e muita lenda e muita historia
muitas vidas muitas vidas

do you go to the temple tonight?
oh no, i don't think so no
do you not go to the palace of answers with me, marie?
oh no, i don't think so no

see, when they offer me books of gold
i know soon still that platinum's coming
and when i look inside of your temple
it looks just like the inside of the brain of any one man
and when he beckons his finger to me, well
i move in another direction
i move in another dimension
i move in another direction
ohohoh strange

yeah alright mmh yeah
sit back, relax
look at everything through your magnifying-glass

yeah alright mmh yeah
lay low, don`t go
show me everything that i don`t know

yeah alright mmh yeah
and leave the door wide open
for time will be coming round to pass
it always does yeah alright yeah mmh

lay low, don`t go

yeah alright mmh yeah
sweetpie, don`t lie
tell me everything that you`ve been holding back
i can take alot more than that
i can take alot more than that

lovely, it`s me
calling you from far across the sea
every now and then i have to follow time
and find out where it`s gone
and where i`m at
where it`s gone
and where i`m at
where it`s gone
and where i`m at
and that`s that

shake your dream
like an apple off the tree
bed it in the grass

lay so still
like you never ever will
tip the hourglass

a way so bold
how time extends and hearts unfold
curious at last

true this is a part of me
a part you're not supposed to see
so come away come away

just one step
into another scenery
out in a different world

don't look back
and don't you even look at me
unless you want to seek at me



a way so bold
how time extends and hearts unfold
out in a different world

true you are a part of me
true you're not supposed be
so come away come away

a scent, a whiff, a touch, a weary smile
a wave- good bye, from the bar to the door
-watch the gap in the wooden floor-
i'm back till sundown
a swift lift in a truck, a fuck, some crack
a sly high in the sky
-let my down easy, if you will
no pride to fall back to

here and there and everywhere i go
i stand on my two feet
on my two hands i walk away
now and then and almost every time
i wake up walking in my sleep
i feel the need to walk away
once upon a time it was
when everything was real there was
nobody who would want to walk away
but today we know so much
that we don't really know just what
is true or false or should we go or stay

all of a sudden i wake up
all of a sudden i wake up
the words i trust to build upon
are pebbles in my hand
all of a sudden i wake up
all of a sudden i wake up
the words that name the right and wrong
are pebbles in my hand
the words i give and those i take
are just pebbles in my hand



every time i look i see them
moving by remote control so remote
that they don't even know
yet it seems they know so much
that they don't really care so much
about who does and who does not control

all of a sudden i wake up
all of a sudden i wake up
the words i trust to build upon
are pebbles in my hand
all of a sudden i wake up
all of a sudden i wake up
the words that name the right and wrong
are pebbles in my hand
the words i give and those i take
are just pebbles in my hand

this is the story of a reoccuring dream
some other images cut inbetween
endlessly seeking for identitiy
of what there is and what there seems to be
do i am just what i recall
do i own waht belongs to all
a sunken ship that carries jewelry and gold
i'd love to get it but the water is much to cold

i'm going down through a poke in my vein
i'm moving up to where i'm going insane
caught in the middle for it's too high a stake
i'm popping out of my rebirthday cake
i'm shooting up through a whole in my head
see me falling through the safety net
no boundaries no strings attached
i am free so don't you mess with me

sing a loud song
and draw a few lines
the world is a mess
and i feel fine
tell a crude joke
about the sign of the times
have faith and you can sleep with snakes
