The Curtain

THE CURTAIN
When the evening calls
The curtain falls
The circus train
Breaks its chain
In my small town
There will be dancing guys
And juggling knights
Ruthless beasts
Endless feasts and clowns
Houses of delight
Where secrets are on high
Temples full of mysteries inside
And the crowd have looks
That the carnival hooks
The city's children
Open the story book
The MC grabs a page
Then fills the cage
With smoke and colours
For the tight rope walker to try
The ring fills up with clouds
The freaks are all so proud
It's a magic night and everyone's allowed
Houses of delight
Where secrets will reside
It's a magic night and everyone's allowed

Sally's Room

SALLY'S ROOM
Sally came with her honey
With daddy’s car and cash
A Vegas room for the holiday
And got married in a flash
Shut the door and dim the lights
It’s gonna be a special night
She’s so hot and he’s so nice
With Champaign on ice
She feels there is something wrong inside
Her lover will be gone before the sun
Starts to rise
Nobody wants to loose in a hotel room
But Sally did and will
'cause anyone can be fooled
It’s been a never ending day
The mall was full of crap
She’s been playing Little Sally
Serving beer on tap
She kicks the door and the website
There will be no chatting tonight
The air’s too hot, she can’t think right
She only needs a little high
And maybe there’s something wrong outside
She hopes the pain is gone before the sun
Starts to rise
Nobody wants to crash in a hotel room
But Sally did and still
Now she can’t be fooled
Maybe there’s something more outside
She reaches for the door and the sun
Starts to rise
Sally came for the money
For the sunshine and a dress
She’ll be candy girl for the holiday
Just one last time, no mess
Shut the blinds and dim the lights
Get ready for an another night
God you’re hot, your boots are tights
You’ve got everything just right
She knows there is something wrong
This time
Those men are much too strong
She couldn’t run
And she can’t hide
Nobody wants to die in a hotel room
But Sally did, and still
There’s always someone to take the room

Lies

LIES
There are lies
Lies that I like sometimes
I can't fall asleep
And I'm trapped in a maze of
Some stranger's design
I'm fine
But I can't find no sign of life
Other than mine
There are times
Times when I feel alive
I open my eyes
And I can see through anybody's disguise
Why is that so hard
To do the same with mine ?
Who knows…
What goes around
Must come around
I trust it can be found
In several shades of sound
You know it's fully bound
But only when it's gone
If I move too soon
Then I will loose
The good side of the moon
The blue tides and lagoons
The nights and the perfumes
The whiskeys and the booze
If only I could choose
Then change my mind
Then change my mind again
Then change my mind… again!
Tell me why
You must hide behind all these lies
You push people aside
So much anger
I read so much fear in your eyes
And sadness
And madness
No peace of mind
Who cares….
When there's a will
Then there's a way
And soon will come a day
The sun will turn to grey
And someone's gonna pay
It may be hard to say
If I play the fool
It may be cool
To go against the rules
With many kind of tools
My lady's got the jewels
My caddy's full of fuel
If only I could choose
Then change my mind
Then change my mind again
Then change my mind… again!

TRAVELS
There are so many ways to travel
The sooner you’re gone
The better you get
There are so many ways to forget
You're tired to do as you’re told
You’re eager to take on the road
There are so many ways to be home
There are so many ways to feel home
There are so many ways
I've been spending my time in the shadow
Standing in line
Looking for someone to follow
But nobody knows
So nobody shows up
But I won't give up
I won't give up
Cause there are so many ways
So many ways
There are so many ways to be human
You can take care of someone
Whose worth taking care of
There is so many ways to be loved
There is so many ways to feel love
There are so many ways
Now it's time to do it, need to move it
Play along with, entertain it
Realize it, vocalize it
Harmonize it, paradise it
Never fade, celebrate
Never fade, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
So many ways
So many ways
Time to do it, need to move it
Play along with, entertain it
Realize it, vocalize it
Harmonize it, paradise it
Never fade, celebrate
Never fade, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
There are so many ways

Your Time is Everything

YOUR TIME IS EVERYTHING
Let’s say we blow the doors
Let’s say we blast all fiction
Let’s say we follow the lines
But we break all the rules
Your time is everything
Today we close the store
Today we pay attention
Tonight we lay the mines
That tomorrow may fool
Your time is everything
Everything and you’re every little part of it
Your time is everything to me
Everything and I just want to share this day
Please let me help to set you free
Do you wanna walk the street
Wanna run the river
Or would you like to try
Something a little bit different
Your time is everything
So could we share some heat
I don’t wanna let you shiver
There is no time for lies
We’re living every moment
And time is everything
Everything and you’re every little part of it
Your time is everything to me
Everything and I just want to share this day
Please let me help to set you free
What are you waiting for
I know your brother’s dying
Why don’t we catch the plane
And go see him in Paris
His time is everything
You don’t need nothing more
A little love to bring
There’s nothing to explain
That won’t fit in a kiss
'cause love is everything
Everything and you’re every little part of it
Your time is everything to me
Everything and I just want to share this day
So let me help to set you free

RISE AND FALL OF BERLIN SAM
Dad used to play
When he was young
Mom used to sing
His favorite song
They fell in love
Soon I was born
Hell was above
Then came the bomb
Within a few years
I had my gun
I wiped my tears
Gave up the fun
I killed the men
Played with the girls
Again, again
’til they started to hurl
I was fed up of lead
So to make things change
One day I took the head
Of a local war branch
I was voted a hero
I was given a throne
No friend, nor foe
I was fighting alone
No one to like
No one to trust
I took every bite
For my pleasure and lust
Richer than gates
Covered in gold
Outsmarting fate
I would never get old
There’s been a putsch in the country
Things got out of my hand
I’ve been betrayed by the army
Compelled to give up command
Soon I had to fly away
Leave most of my things behind
My diamonds, my clothes, my luxury cars
All of my euros and all of my pounds
I’m left with my US accounts, small amounts
And I’m trapped in a burlesque Berlin-like town
Nameless and cold, haunted by gold
And the souls of the people I’ve wasted for good
No one to like
No one to trust
You take every bite
For pleasure and lust
Richer than gates
Covered in gold
Outsmarting fate
You’ll never get old
I used to play
When I was young
Mom used to sing
My favorite song
In love we fall
Children are born
I love you all
Let’s drink to the …..

Recycled Thoughts

RECYCLED THOUGHTS
Recycled thoughts
It’s all about recycled thoughts
And there’s a lot I care about
Recycled thoughts
Better be stopped
Inside my mouth
Recycled thoughts
I see the trap
Recycled thoughts
Another lap
Recycled thoughts
To give up, to stand down
Scaling down my universe
My feet can barely touch the ground
Moving… slowly in the dark
Stripping down… many things
Strangled by… naked eyes
Circled by some old device
Emerging from a suitcase I come back
And I give up
Give up to you
Recycled thoughts
Out of the blue
And something else
Something small… and true
Maybe something new
It’s nice to see… people smile
And fun to play like a little child
It’s good to try many things
And do it over until we believe
If I receive what I deserve
When others grieve and I observe
I know of nothing better than your smile
Inside my life… full… of recycled thoughts

Rain and the Half-Moon

RAIN AND THE HALF-MOON
Don’t you hear the rain coming
Feel its rush down in your brain
There’s a rumble that calls your name
It’s always been the same
The ground is shaking under your feet
Birds are silent and the moon is gone
People running in the street
We shall run along
All the bed-time stories
And merry-go-rounds
Couldn’t stop that flood
We can blame all worries
On the god of all gods
But no help will be found
Don’t you feel the wind blowing
Its frozen blood that clogs your veins
But no one else to take the blame
It’s always been the same
Don’t you let the drum boom boom in
When it comes to heal your pain
Damned the thunder that calls your name
It’s always been the same game
All the bed-time stories
And merry-go-rounds
Couldn’t stop that flood
We can blame all worries
On the god of all gods
But no help will be found
There no use waiting for the sun
Looking for some fun
When the sky turns black
Doggy sings the blues
And half the moon is back
Let it be like that
Let it be like that
Let it be like that

You Tell Me
05:23

YOU TELL ME
Close your eyes and I’ll show you
How the world can change
It's all in the way you dance
And the things you choose
Leave the sailors to the sea
On the horse just put the saddle
It's all in the time you take
And the way you lose
People walk, people talk
Some will cry and some will die
All in the way you care
And the love you share
How sweet the wind tonight
It’s warming up the sky
It’s filling up my glass
How big the pain tomorrow
I may cool down the fire
But I can’t change the world
Or so you tell me…
Let me turn your river into wine
And put some diamonds in your mind
All in the way you smile
You match the beating of my heart
We live in a perfect 3D sunshine
We count on perpetual time
It's all in the way we lie
And the truth we hide
How sweet the wind tonight
It’s warming up the sky
It’s filling up my glass
How big the pain tomorrow
I may cool down the fire
But I can’t change the world
Or so you tell me
How sweet the wind tonight
It’s warming up the sky
It’s filling up my glass
How big the pain tomorrow
I may cool down the fire
But I can’t change the world
Or so you tell me
Close your eyes and I’ll show you…
Floating train
Milk balloons
Dairy tales
Silver cake
Sugar lake
Candy clouds
And crunchy songs
Healthy smokes
No-money zone
Eternal jokes
Eden factories
Friendly countries
Your green eyes….

Mary Can Stop

MARY CAN STOP
People come and go beneath the city lights
It’s almost like there is nobody inside
But I know someone named Harry
Trapped in his own mind of fury
And I know
Harry would go outside
If he was free
Mary’s almost like the girl next door
But she knows about invisibility and more
She talks all the time to herself
She only lives to fix the void in her cells
But I know
Mary can stop the war
Yes she can
It’s been a year… away from their home
Like little birds too young to fly alone
Well this is no hell my friends
Keep up! You soon shall get a hand
And birds
Birds they will fly again
In the sky
You haven’t said a word since he let you down
Now you must think that every man in every town
They are all the same scumbags
They break your heart and leave and never come back
But let them go
Because I know
I know you will love again
Love again

End of the World

END OF THE WORLD
There is plenty of stars
Shining up in the sky
There’s a pack full of worlds
Flowing in to my mind
They come down and try to hide
They come down here to die
There is billions of suns
Sparkling into her life
Long funnels of sounds
Cradles of lights
All around deep inside
All around shaping her smile
She’s a long long way from me
Her ship is lost at sea
I would sail through stormy days
To see her fade away
It’s the end of the world
House’s falling apart
It’s the end of the world
Dividing my heart
All the windows let the cold in
But the walls… standing still
She’s a long long way from me
My vessel’s lost at sea
Oh! I still hear her call
Confiding in the fall

ONE THOUSAND NIGHTS AND MORE
I don’t feel right to say we’re stupid
We just don’t want to know
But now I need to close my lids
And keep all levels low
Sometimes we would live for ever
But now I’d rather die
Trapped inside this night for hours
Only killing time
Hoping time will lie
If I really try
Somebody touch me
Somebody hold me tight
Somebody show me
I can’t find this light
And there are many more
Somebody fight me
Somebody help me fight
Somebody keep the night at my door
I wanna live another thousand more
I was a young apprentice
But no master would come
The only thing I've learned from this
Is that I can play the drum
The glowing city casts a spell
And many lose control
Things to buy to get some bliss
Much more things to miss
And hills, mills, thrills
And pills to craft your soul
Somebody grab me
Somebody keep me still
Somebody tell me this can’t be real
There should be something more
Somebody hide me
Somebody I can trust
Somebody find me more of that stuff
I wanna live one thousand nights and more
Somebody…
Somebody show some life
I wanna feel the steel of your knife
Going right through my core
Somebody…
Somebody wake me up
I wanna live like never before
I wanna live one thousand nights and more
I wanna live one thousand nights and more

Stay

STAY
Stay a little longer than yesterday
Stay until tomorrow
Stay a little longer won’t you stay
'til the night is through
'til the night is through
'til the night is through
Another day in gypsy time
We can make it last
June has turned into July
So we let go of the past
… let go of the past
… let go of the past
The wind blows through your hair
I know I’ve been just there
No fear and no pain
It’s how I spell your name
Your castle made of sand
Your hand in my hand
We're moving with the tide
Like a giant cycle ride
Hang on tight
You don’t have to rescue me
But you can make me smile
I like the way you talk to me
With the Nile of your eyes
… the Nile of your eyes
… the Nile of your eyes
The wind blows through your hair
I know I’ve been just there
No fear and no pain
It’s how I spell your name
Your castle made of sand
Your hand in my hand
We're moving with the tide
Like a giant cycle ride
Hang on tight
Stay a little longer than yesterday
For we’ll be gone tomorrow
Stay a little longer won’t you stay
'til the night is through
'til the night is through
'til the night is through
