1. Tryst (1999)
today I feel great, finally I've found it
we get drunk on Martini at the Peach Pit
and tomorrow we crush the pigeons on the place
your spirit smiles away my melancholy face
every morning I will say:
"I love you till my heart dies"
and "most beautiful
are your eyes"
today I feel so great in all I do
a time supreme, runes I read in the yew
we lie in the grass interpreting the clouds
we indulge in misanthropy, laugh away the doubts
every morning I will say...
but hoping is futile
and wishing in vain
to you all the best
PS: "all the stars are dead now"
2. Nostalgia
I see old spirits rise, in brown eyes
a violet smile, a lack of control
we failed to take the chance
long ago, for a day like this, I would have given
all my lifes future bliss
in the past I longed for futile days like this
I see old spirits rise, in your eyes
a violet smile, a lack of control
now we know what we have lost
short ago, for a day like this, I would have given
all my lifes future bliss
I still long for fertile days like this
3. Katzentanz
I embrace you, I embrace you
let me watch, your feline dance
I embrace you, I embrace you
do you feel, the feline eyes
and I watched you in your sleep
this piece of heaven by my side
I wished it could forever be
spend my life by your side
the ecstasy I feel
when I look into your eyes
you could make life worth living
so I say
you wake up in the morning
and I smile for you
believe me, I would forever do
I embrace you, I embrace you
let me watch, your feline dance
I embrace you, I embrace you
do you feel, the feline eyes
and the world is cold
but I think I'll get trough
I wished it could have been
my weakness, you
the melancholy I feel
when I fall into your eyes
you could make death worth trying
still I'd swear
you wake up in the morning
and I smile for you
believe me, I would forever do
again I'm alone, left in despair
"just drive out of here and then stop anywhere"
please do not let all fall to pieces
just throw your present life away
again I am hurt, again I wait
"we have to go, it's getting late"
tears of joy would be something new
a kiss and a smile, tears for you
just remember that all I said was true and honestly meant
I'd stay with you until the end
4. To Be
did you ever know
you, so far away
waiting for an answer
waiting for another time
some kind of heaven
let your depths shine
the heartland may be flooded
the spire never drowns
just like the place
I always long for
to know I'll never reach
never reach you
thoughts and memories
are remedies to get a glimpse
of this light
I raise my arms toward
once more lights
everywhere anytime with you or you
oh do I dare
in the narrow next time
oh do I get
a next time at all
just take me out
I will try again
5. Shine
there could be a future, I see it bright, I don't see
it clear
there is a place, I'm part of it with you
there is joy and all the pleasure
and there is also something I longed for
I'd give it all up, I'd throw it all away
but all that's left is me here in despair
hear the serenade
this serenade of my soul
my tearful words for you to shine
maybe you are present right now
and maybe I point at you right now
and if you are not
I wish it would be
that you would listen to my wail
I want to wave farewell to my lament
forget all my pain, my waking hours
I'll wake you in the morning
in a time when luck is mine
I await a time for me to shine
6. The Sadness Out Of Me
landscapes in my psyche
the dying do not cry
driven apart and blown away
ohne Dich wird es Nacht
a tear, blood from my soul
I think, therefore I cry
for you, hear me
ohne Dich wird es Nacht
if psychic balance is a sheltered palace
see myself lost in the garden outside
waiting for someone to come out
what do you do so far away
you are there in another life
and your December dreams, your thoughts are mine
I see Jesus behind a window-pane upstairs
a part of this is a bit of you
and when you wake up in the morning
I'll be the one who smiles for you
I fade for the Flower like an unfulfilled dream
may you always remain to shine like I have seen
I fade like a flower, like someone on a cross
lit up, brought down, but love does cost
7. Forlorn
8. Underneath Stars Without A Sky
look, the birds are falling down
just like rain they reach the ground
and all the fools keep bleating
oh look, the White Ship, over there
come here, but dog damned days are near
I think someone tears my heart apart
I revisit a place I found with you
with the memory all the pain comes, too
now the stars have no sky
imperfection and you lie
the cosmic chaos of life and of lights
oh I think I loved you at first sight
now all fell down and fell dead
and left me here with nothing
9. ...And Then Forgotten
"everything is alright" you said
"it was all just a joke" you smiled
and I felt happy, I felt released
but as I woke this dream did cease
yet Carcassonne was never so far
Sandra and a swastika
it's all so dog damned real
your words cut me down
wake me when it's over
I see you in the mirror lying naked on the bed
you closed your eyes and dreams take you away
"everything is alright" she said
"it was only a joke" she laughed
I felt so happy, I felt released
but as I woke the dream deceived
I mess up the days of the week
the radio rocks me to poisoned sleep
I see you in the mirror lying naked on the bed
you closed your eyes and dreams take you away
why do I so often think about what could have been
when it is not
it all just sounds like Nine While Nine
10. Your And My Dead Stars (1999)
I suffer under your and my dead stars
everything I'd give you, all behind my eyes
just call my name and I'll be with you
I call your name and there's not much
you would do
I suffer under your and my dead stars
memories are wounds, they kill me every day
all the stars shine bright tonight
one reason to live and one to die
and never forget, the pain felt
your and my stars are dead dead dead
again I'm waiting, once more I'm falling
down, left behind, I'm passing time
oh it's killing me and
I listen to the radio as I try to sleep
I suffer under your and my dead stars
I fall under your and my dead stars
call my name and I'll be with you
I die under your and my dead stars
I'll never forget the pain felt
11. Fall Apart
And if I wake from dreams
Shall I fall in pastures
Will I wake the darkness
Shall we torch the earth
And if I wake from dreams
Shall we find the emptiness
And break the silence
That will stop our hearts
And if I wake from dreams
Shall we cry together
For their howling echoes
And restart the night
And why did you say that things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall and fall apart
And why did you say that things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall and fall apart
And shall I wake from dreams
For the glory of nothing
For the cracking of the sun
For the crawling down of lies
And if we fall from dreams
Shall we push them to darkness
And stare into the howling
And clambor into night
And if I fall from dreams
All my prayers are silenced
To Love is to Lose
And to Lose is to Die
And why did you say that things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall and fall apart
And why did you say that things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall and fall apart
And why did you say that things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall and fall apart
And why did you say that things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall and fall apart
And why did you say that things shall fall
12. A Song For
look at the cat, it flies above my head
how will you live, how will you like it
look at the cat, it flies above your head
I can seldom be with you, I'm in doubt
sorry I can't promise you a world without fools
and please beware of all the lies
oh I'm sorry child that love is not luck
pain in severance and pleasure in sighs
city lights are wonderful, so is the wood in spring
of home you think when you're away, there's woe
in everything
and I tell you it is beautiful now to be alone
but only in the knowledge to have someone later on
and the real nightmares are the dreams of joy and of wealth
for then you'll wake in belief of all these dreamed things
you don't have
it seems that we gained a bit of immortality
I will always have with you this piece of eternity
look at the child it has your face and mine
look now it smiles, somewhere in time
13. Wings But No Body
I take you to the playground near the station
we'll burn down the WatchTower house
and get drunk in the pub near the highway
I'd like to drive on now
wings but no body
a yesterday curse has a hold on me
an ever present herd has a hold on me
I will be happy, as happy as can be
wings but no body
wings but no body
a yesterday curse has a grip on me
an ever present herd has a grip on me
I will be happy, as happy as can be
wings but no body
14. In June, As I Killed Time (live Castle Lockenhaus)
ater as we say goodbye
I realize, all is well for her
it's 3 a.m. and I don't know that
my reason to live is soon to come
come with me, my horizon widened
dawn comes fast and the birds sing loud
my eyes are coloured with the red
that's on the sky and the clouds
I see it all through a romantic haze
and wait to be cut again
by the not so fair
the barbed and poisoned dart of Cupid
tell me what friends are for
I hate all my sadness songs
my dreams are difficult and they
depend on and collapse with yours
later as we say goodbye
I realize, all is well for her
it's "I don't know" and I don't care
but a reason to live is yet alive
come with me to complete my life
night comes fast and the air is warm
my eyes are filled with the kissing,
glancing, loving, bleeding, singing...
may your pains be softened
may your throes be driven away
may your pains be softened
there are things that wash me away
15. Up The Ass Of A Swan
Up the ass of a swan
Is where you should be
The latching of truth
Therein lies the key
