4.Wishful Thinking

When I sleep through the night
I always dream that we are back together
must be wishful thinking
When I wake up alone
the bed seems oh so empty
I start sinking through waves of wishful thinking

I was the one who said I needed room to breathe
you were the one who said that love was meant for you and me
I was afraid to give too much
you gave the world to me every time we touched

when I wake late at night
I reach for your shoulder
come up empty
I don't know what I was dreaming
then I whisper your name
all I hear is the sound of my heart sinking
is it only wishful thinking

so soft your sighs, so sweet your lips when we made love
didn't know how happy girl you made me
until you were gone
didn't see the warning signs you gave
how could I let you go
I'd give a lifetime just to have you one more day

is it only wishful thinking
tell me I'm not dreaming
maybe you'll come back one day
is it only wishful thinking
only wishful thinking
maybe you'll come back to stay
come back baby

when the night starts to fall
I swear I hearing you breathing in the darkness
I could spend my whole life dreaming
how our bodies will burn
one on one I ache for your return
don't let my heart keep sinking

is it only wishful thinking
don't let my heart keep sinking
maybe you'll come back one day
someone tell me
is it only wishful thinking
that maybe you'll come back to stay
you can stay

when I sleep through the night
I always dream that we are back together
is this only wishful thinking

13.Control

Pretty baby, don't you know, times they are a changin'
Every little moment we grow up we lose control
Life's a loaded gun with no directions
And it keeps you on the run, it has no mercy
Mum and daddy went to war, never coming back no more
Did you ever think they'd make you whole again
Maybe someone dropped a bomb
Just right into the middle of your soul-they're in control
You got to get out of control again - no more control again
You're getting whole again - ain't no control again
You got to get out of control
20th century honey bee, what you're doing is what you'll be
Life's no dress rehearsal when you bring the honey in
Everything seems wrong to thee
Nurtured from the poison of reality that has no mercy
All your friends went for the thrill, now it's yours to grab the
kill
Did you ever think you're getting whole again
Maybe someone send a priest with some religion cooking in a bowl
They're in control
You got to get out of control again...
What's the fucking thing about control, did you think you'd ever
getting
whole
Just as long as there is no control, they have no control of you
at all


14.Dangerous Places

People buzzing around, they don't know a thing
They just a laugh and the ones in power are always pulling the
strings
People do what they do, how much can they take
They just get the news and the ones in power always get the cake
But you got ambition, you got the face, come on, let's go to a
dangerous
place
You got the class, I think you're desperate, let's go to a
dangerous place
Come on - let's go, come on - let's go, come on...
I promise this thing will sell, I promise I'll take you to
heaven
I promise this thing will sell, and I just can't wait
You have your plans, all these plans
And there are moments, shall I call them a chance
If I was you I would make them all mine
And if I ain't got the power I would commit a crime
But you got ambition...
I promise this thing will sell...
I'm gonna make you a deal, you know I'm your friend
I'm gonna stay with you until the very end
I know you got the guts, I got a lot of time
I'm gonna make me yours before I make you mine


15.Guardian Angel

Be my guard just for tonight, that is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing, I can't make it anymore
I am so full of fear, may you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow won't you stay with me
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT. THAT IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT, THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW
Be my guard beside my bed, that is all I need to know
Will you please hold my hand, don't you ever let it go
All the wonders of the world for a little second more
I can't speak but can't you see, it's your touch I'm crying for
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT. THAT IS ALL I'M ASKING FOR
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT, THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW
Be my guard just until dawn, when I can hear the birds again
I'm as helpless as can be, will you guard my little flame
If we never meet again, you shall always keep in mind
That you were my guard tonight, that you were my guard tonight
WILL YOU BE MY GUARD TONIGHT. . .


16.Inside Out

Your hand full of hours - Sand from the urns
A travelling companion - The secret of ferns
From Darkness to darkness - where shall I begin
When whiteness attacked us - Sewn under our skin
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls
WITH ALL MY LOVE - I WENT INTO THE WORLD
FROM INSIDE OUT - AND I GAVE IT ALL TO YOU
BUT I NEED YOUR LOVE - THAT WAS LOOKING FOR ME
JUST ON MY LIPS LOOK FOR YOUR KISS
And always I think where we might have gone
If we'd never met inside this song
Our names are enciphered - But the words became true
When I was the sun and you, you were the moon
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls
WITH ALL MY LOVE. . .


17.Monkey In The Moon

Once I was so sure, once I was so blind
Wonder what you said if you read my mind
Angel in a car, devil on a cross
Scarecrows in the fields, Jesus on the rocks
LETTERS IN THE RAIN. RABBIT ON THE RUN
GOD WAS MADE FOR YOU, LIZARDS FOR THE SUN
MONKEY IN THE MOON, I CAN SEE YOU THROUGH
MONKEY IN THE MOON, THIS ONE'S MADE FOR YOU
( MESSAGE UNDERSTOOD? )
Flower in a word, words without a priest
Wings without a bird, beauty without beast
Signal overkill, trains are overdue
Fool upon a hill, ocean overview
LETTERS IN THE RAIN. . .
Fool upon a hill, trains are overdue
Except what we forgot nothing's really new
Head above the clouds, eyes are opened wide
Windmill burning down, walk into the light
Walk into the light
Monkey in the moon...
Letters in the rain
This one's made for you


18.New Horizons

Once, we were together
Once we were one
Once we were running, we knew where we came from
We were the music, we heard the call
We were giants after the fall
Once we were children, once we were so small
TO THE NEW HORIZONS I CAST MY EYES
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU REACHING OUT TO THE NEW HORIZONS
ONCE AND TODAY
ONCE AND TODAY
Once, we were divided, once, we lost our sight
Once, we were freezing in the TV light
You are a rainbow, you're looking fine
Shall we make it one more time
TO THE NEW HORIZONS I CAST MY EYES
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU REACHING OUT TO THE NEW HORIZONS
ONCE AND TODAY
ONCE AND TODAY
YOU ARE A RAINBOW


19.Pandora's Lullaby

So you hugged the globe
Now it's whirling too fast
I really got no hope to hang on to the past
The train has departed, the toxins have started
To announce that none will last
I cower in the gutter of a world that's not so near
And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air
The words unspoken, the promises broken
And the ones who really care
I'm the watcher of the scene
I see our shadows on the screen
And when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee
I stop to breathe for a while
Maybe it was me
This is the world gliding by
Like the driftwood beams
On a lifetime's stream
The instant fundamental sky for Pandora's lullaby
I see distorted faces coined like gold
And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told
A watermark against a spark
Umbrellas that they hold
I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by
An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky
But I just sit and wonder a bit that they never wonder why


20.Point Of No Return

The gentle taste of orange
A garden of fruit and flowers is what I embrace
In ocean blue eyes, in each one's an island
I'm stranded within your love
And as I fall deeper than ever
And as we kiss, we're each other's guide into the unknown
WHERE MEN DO NOT RETURN, WHERE MEN DO NOT FORGET
THE SWEETEST SUICIDE, AS IF WE DON'T EXIST BUT LIVE
The presence of angels, the inscense of Indochine
The quietness of movements, the slowness of Africa
A Point of know return, no way out of here
Nothing compares to you
Anything goes
And as I breathe deeper than ever
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to the unknown
WHERE MEN DO NOT RETURN. . .


21.Soul Messiah

There is too much confusion
Much too much impact of obscene terror
I wonder why I'm still surfing on this wave of obsession
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for some cool messiah
Give me a reason to stay here forever
Waiting for something to come
IS IT MY SOUL
IS IT THAT GLIMPSE OF LIGHT I NEVER FORGET TO EXPECT
OR IS IT YOU, SOME KIND OF ANGEL
THAT KEEPS ME IN WAITING FOREVER
There's too much war on the outside
Much too much impact of symbols and meanings
I wonder why I'm still fighting in this ocean of questions
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for something to come
Give me a reason to stay on this island
Waiting for something to come


22.Spirit Of The Age

HATE, LUST, SOUL, RAGE
You're so full of hate, You're so full of lust
You're so full of soul, You're so full of rage
SPIRIT OF THE AGE
Here comes the voodoo king, here comes a powerful man
My face on every frontpage, my plans for everyone
I reason your existence, that is what I want to be
Your whore and your messiah if you believe in me
I'm not a true creator, I'm just a cheap reflection
I'm the impersonator of anyone's conception
But if you read my lips just on your own behalf
I'll be a remedy not just an epitaph
You're so full of hate, you need a vacation
So full of lust, you need liberation
You need damnation, you need salvation
You're so full of hate
Spirit of the age
Here comes the new religion of everything you are
My sword is your conviction, my voice your media
I'm here to justify you, that's what I want to do
I don't believe in visions but I believe in you
Here comes the voodoo king, here comes a powerful man
My face on every frontpage, my plans for everyone
I'm here to satisfy you, that's what I want to be
Your whore and your messiah if you believe in me
You're so full of crime, you wipe out a nation
So full of sex, you're a sensation
You need damnation, you need salvation
You'r so full of fear
You're so full of hate, you need a vacation
So full of lust, you need liberation
You need damnation, you need salvation
You're so full of hate
Spirit of the age....


23.Wishful Thinking

Into the night
Still falls the rain
even the dogs stay home tonight
out on the streets
going nowhere
just one direction in my thoughts
love can be magic
it can be a game
sometimes it's tragic
and sometimes a shame
words were my bullits
emotion my gun
I was a runner
now I'm on the run
Sometimes I wish that you were dead
that is because you haunt me so
I wasn't right to let you go away
I try to kill the pain inside
but you are always on my mind
no matter where I go or stay
Sometimes I dream my time away
and we're together again
but I know that can never be
and all my hopes are in vain
you were my treasure
that I didn't know
you were the sun in my life
thought I was dying
when I realized
there's just one chance to survive...
