See The Signs

Oooh, oooh, ho ho-o ho hooh
Ooh-oh-o-ho, oh oh ooh
Oooh, oooh, ho ho-o ho hooh
Ooh-oh-o-ho, oh oh ooh

We have all come together now
’cause it hit us like a bolt from the blue
Some smile, and some do not
Misunderstood by quite a lot

See the signs on the wall!
Do you know their meaning!?

Oooh, oooh, ho ho-o ho hooh
Ooh-oh-o-ho, oh oh ooh
Oooh, oooh, ho ho-o ho hooh
Ooh-oh-o-ho, oh oh ooh

See the signs, what more do you need to see
See the signs, what more do you need to see

Solo

Have we got the gist of the story
Have we, or have we not

See the signs on the wall!
Do you know their meaning!?

Refrain

Twenty-one and Twenty-three

Daylight, again
And it’s coming closer
Too hard to understand
I wanna know, where it leads and ends my friend
Oooh, say where you come from
This station is too small for hide and seek
I eat my meal, I drink that wine
I’m having just a good time

Twenty-one and twenty-three
Together perfect symmetry, ooh ooh, ooh oh ooh
Twenty-one and twenty-three

A mirror image I can see
I swear, I know who you are
You have more of me than you would admit
You don’t wanna hear it, ooh no
But deep in your heart you know that I’m right
Feel your charisma you must be so close to me
I know, you’re within my reach
Revelation as I look in the mirror
You gotta sing: “Boy, you’re harder than life!”

I ask Aurora to dance with me
Denial is all in her eyes

Twenty-one and twenty-three
Together perfect symmetry,
ooh ooh, ooh oh ooh
Twenty-one and twenty-three
A mirror image I can see,
my Aurora, you only one

Daddyooh

Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Heard our song on the radio
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
And you know it goes like this:

“Wine, women and song are still going strong
Another glass and then some more to go, Ela-di-la-dioo!
We’ll be long gone by then
Maybe to the stars or so.”

Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Heard our song on the radio
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
I miss you so

Thoughtful as you were, you said:
“When everything must pass, love is meant to stay.”
So warmhearted, so caring
I could rely on you, no matter what

Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh
Daddy ooh Daddy ooh Daddy ooh

I miss you so

1st verse

Refrain

I will remember,
I will remember you,
gone but not forgotten,
I still live you!

Heavy Johnson

I heard it many times
That Heavy Johnson made it
I hope that he will tell us soon
Which secret he got handed
The biggest steps were not enough
Not for Heavy Johnson
I hope he doesn’t believe somehow
The letter Jacob sent him

Only love will shine a light
Only love will make it right
To really know the truth,
find out what’s behind the words
And when you think
that you’ve found out,
what’s the deeper meaning?

A castle on cloud nine he rent
Good so, Heavy Johnson!
He thinks that he’s in heaven now
Cheers to Heavy Johnson!
What a mess it all turned out
Considering Heavy Johnson
The ladder was not made for him
Jacob tried out something

Refrain

Heavy Johnson, what the hell!?
Did you really get it wrong?
Heavy Johnson, hey look twice!
Next time get it right!

Percussion Solo

Only love will shine a light
Only love will make it right
To really know the truth,
find out what’s behind the words
And when you think
that you’ve found out,
what’s the deeper meaning?

Check it out and you find out

Heavy Johnson mada a mistake,
but he did not get it

Sally Said

Sally said cry louder, Sally said cry louder now
Sally said cry louder, or you’re not going to be heard
Sally said cry louder, Sally said cry louder now
Sally said cry louder, or you’re not going to be heard

Sally was a woman, she knew what she wanted
Smart and so respected, a caring mother too
The kids they were at school, this house it felt so empty
She opened up the window to smoke a cigarette

You gotta life to live, you gotta a love to give
Easier said than done, when you can trust no one

Sally said cry louder, Sally said cry louder now
Sally said cry louder, or you’re not going to be heard
Sally said cry louder, Sally said cry louder now
Sally said cry louder, or you’re not going to be heard

Sally was one of many, her children have been put away
They said it’s for the better, when life is in their hands
They told her to be entitled, her heart was bleeding
She couldn’t hide her tears, ’cause of all these ugly lies

You gotta life to live, you gotta a love to give
Easier said than done, when you can trust no one

Sally said cry louder, Sally said cry louder now
Sally said cry louder, or you’re not going to be heard
Sally said cry louder, Sally said cry louder now
Sally said cry louder, or you’re not going to be heard

Give ’em back to me, I want my family
Give ’em back to me, ’cause we are family

Sometimes I Feel Like Crying

When everything’s gotten too hard
And life is in the way
It feels like I’m stuck in a dead-end street
And nothing makes my day
I search the internet for information
And I’m wasting so much time
’cause I can’t see the wood for the trees
I despair about what our world has become

Sometimes I feel like crying, only crying, only crying
But tears can be balm for the soul, so I let them flow, I let them flow

My head grows heavy and my looks grow dim
This bottle will lead to nothing again
Late night blues and self-pretending
How can I make you go away
Will it get any better, I don’t know
I don’t have any answers for the future and the way we go
I have this feeling, we all have lost our ground
And everything will crash with an awful sound

Sometimes I feel like crying, only crying, only crying
But tears can be balm for the soul, so I let them flow, I let them flow

The name of the game is called living your life
Sometimes we struggle, sometimes we thrive
The world is a Proving Ground, to gain what it takes
To evolve into a higher being

Sometimes I feel like crying, only crying, only crying
But tears can be balm for the soul, so I let them flow, I let them flow

Sometimes I feel like crying, only crying, only crying
But tears can be balm for the soul, so I let them flow, I let them flow

Sometimes I feel like crying, only crying, only crying
But tears can be balm for the soul, so I let them flow, I let them flow

Sometimes I feel like crying, only crying, only crying
But tears can be balm for the soul, so I let them flow, I let them flow

Burning Man

It’s been so long since we left our town
Hitchhike across the states
The clouds passing by
My feet were losing ground
I was so crazy ’bout you
Your hair shone in the sun
Fascinated, I couldn’t take my eyes off you
I won’t be at home, for the rest of the year
I won’t coming home, I stay with my dear

Just the way you made me yearning
I never met a girl like you
Once the flame began to catch
It soon got a blazing fire

Running around and get it
Running around to get it
Running around, absorbing the sound
Running around and get it

Fine times, are right times
Can’t get enough of you
Eight miles high, I’m touching the sky
I’m longing, I’m longing for you

Just the way you made me yearning
I never met a girl like you
Once the flame began to catch
It soon got a blazing fire

Refrain | Refrain

I burn for you, o-ho-o …

I love The Way You Lie

“Meet me ’round midnight, at the cemetery,
wouldn’t that be cool”, you left this message on my phone
A torch in my hand, and feeling pretty weird
Standing by the tombstones, waiting there for you

But instead of having fun
I get caught by the police
I go to jail in handcuffs

I love the way you lie, when you look me in the eyes
You say read my lips, I do so
Now that I am all confused, standing there feeling so abused
What the hell do you think you are, Baby!
Thank you, Baby thank you, I no longer want you
Thank you, Baby thank you and Good Night

Late night on the tv-Show, spotlight on, there you go
Snappy dressed and so petite, I like the way you look
You act like an expert, your talk is so convincing
Now I get the feeling, now I understand

You are there ’cause money talks
Without a guilty conscience
Acting like you do
You are a true natural talent!

I love the way you lie, when you look me in the eyes
You say read my lips, I do so
Now that I am all confused, standing there feeling so abused
What the hell do you think you are, Baby!

I love the way you lie, when you look me in the eyes
You say read my lips, I do so
Now that I am all confused, standing there feeling so abused
What the hell do you think you are, Baby!
Thank you, Baby thank you, I no longer want you
Thank you, Baby thank you and Good Night

Jack and Violetta

She drove away, forever and ever
She drove away, no turning back

She came home, hey, late at night
With a grim in her face
It didn’t feel alright
I didn’t know what I should say
I sat on the table
Was feeling unable
To get it back in good mood
And make it good again

She drove away, forever and ever
She drove away, no turning back
She drove away, forever and ever
She drove away, no turning back

I stood up, went to the kitchen
I wanted to be alone
I poured myself another glass of whiskey
Violet came in, and I did not notice
With a flick of her knife
She changed my life – forever, so cruel

From the distance I heard a melody
So nice and sweet, so nice and sweet
From the distance I heard a melody
That remembered me,
that remembered me
Of a song that I haven’t heard
in a hundred years
That drove me to tears,
while ascending to eternity

Refrain

Mrs. Pettycoat

You can call it coincidence
When to hearts meet, that beat the same
It needed just one look, a confirmation
And it all was clear

We looked forward to seeing each other again
And made a date
Laughter and drinks in the bar
Upon leaving, she overlooked a car

Hey Mrs. Pettycoat, I’m holding out for you
Hey Mrs. Pettycoat, I’m holding on to you
I will never let you go
Hey Mrs. Pettycoat, here in the afterworld
The secrets get unveiled
Hey Mrs. Pettycoat, I’m gonna tell you now
I’m a wanderer between the worlds

No no, no no no, no no, no no no
No no, no no no, no no no

Misty and dark lies the unknown
But I’m here to guide you
Do you see the ferryman
Crossing the river of Jordan

No way to get around
Beware of looking in his eyes
All right, we gotta go now
Go now, and pay him the fee

We ’re around to see him
Willing to see him
We ’re around to see him
Willing to see him

Refrain | Refrain

Tuselania

Tuselania, white witch from a northern town
Tuselania, from the land of the midnight sun
Tuselania, my heart belongs to you
Tuselania, forever in my mind

Like a call from the wild, you entered my mind
Like a ghost from a distance, so real is your presence
You shine bright, but your picture isn’t clear
Is this vision for real, or do I get insane

As you come closer, your is beauty beyond compare
You give me the sign, to follow you home

Refrain

I saddle my horse, not knowing where to go
Driven by some instinct, a feeling I can’t describe
The ice-cold winds of winter, they chill me to the bone
I’m riding a strong companion, but I almost drift away

As I look into the fire, I see your face again
Please help me, show me where I am

Refrain

You are my savior, I’m lost on you
That’s why the hardships are well worth it
Please take me in your arms eternally
Take me in your arms – and free me!
