Berlin - Sacred And Profane [live] (2000) by Berlin (보컬) on maniadb.com

The painted faces on the street
Caricatures of long ago
Oh they were young and oh so sweet
Down beyond the boulevard
Knock on doors and empty halls
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever

When you see the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

The reeling figures pass on by
Like ghosts in some forgotten play
Beneath the black and empty sky
Music plays and figures dance
With partners chosen by chance
And still some times remember
The masquerade's forever

They reached for tomorrow
But tomorrows, more of the same
So they reached for tomorrow
But tomorrow never came

When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

One by one and two by two
Past eight by tens in shattered frames
The players try to leave the room
Frantic puppets on a string
And all the while the music sings
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever

You can buy me a daquiri
You can take me home and tear my clothes off
Here am I, married? no, I'm celibate, ah-ha

Want a 'lude, I don't care
The feeling's numb but we cry, oh, ah
Here am I making sure you get your share

Well, isn't this a night?
You have a wife, a little girl at home
Never mind, nice to know you, wave goodbye

Touch, touch, touch me, can you stay tonight?
I don't want you to leave my side
Talk, talk, talk to me, I need to know
Will you remember me tomorrow?

Well, if you say you love me I might believe
That you see something special in me
And then the days go by, and you're not there
If you want me, touch me, touch me now

Touch, touch, touch me, can you stay tonight?
I don't want you to leave my side
Talk, talk, talk to me, I need to know
Will you remember me tomorrow?
Touch, touch, touch me, can you stay tonight?
I don't want you to leave my side
Talk, talk, talk to me, I need to know
Will you remember me tomorrow?

You're talking, it all sounds fair
You promise your love, how much you care
I'm still listening and still unsure
Your actions are lacking, nothing is clear

CHORUS
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words
No more words and no more promises of love

Remember when the words were new
They carried a meaning, a feeling so true
Well, I'm looking for a long romance
Not a picture of passion or one time chance

CHORUS

But don't fool yourself
Your empty passion won't satisfy me, I know
So don't pretend that you want me
You don't want me, no

CHORUS

We make love, and it's all the same
Your eyes show nothing, no lover's flame
Well, don't promise we can work it out
You can leave right now if you're feeling doubt

CHORUS

No more words
You're telling me you love me and looking away
No more words and no more promises
No more words and no more promises

CHORUS

No more words and no more promises
No more words and no more promises of love
No more words and no more promises of love
No more words and no more promises of love

I know that you're removed
It seems that you're so busy
We barely recognize you here
Do you recognize me?

Are you walking away?
Or have you gone?

Are they just these little steps you're taking?
Only love you're breaking
Only God forsaken
My heart you're raping
Only love you're taking
My heart you're breaking

You're removed
You don't look me in the eye now
It's only 5 a.m. my dear
Do you want to lie now?

Is she seventeen?
Or 21?

Are they just these little steps you're taking?
Only love you're breaking
Only God forsaken
My heart you're raping
Only love you're taking
My heart you're breaking

Are you walking away
Or have you gone?
Are you leaving me?

Are these little steps you're taking?
Only love you're breaking
Only God forsaken
My heart you're raping
Only love you're taking
My life you're shaking

It's my little love you're breaking
My heart you're raping
My life you're shaking
Fuck it

We cross the street
You hold my hand
Afraid to let go
And if I walked away
And left you there
Would you know why

You are the answer now
You don't know
You can be everything
You don't know
You won't believe it now
You don't know anymore
You are the reason and the rhyme

We walk into your room
A mirror's caught your reflection
You walk away and call to me
To fill in the frame

You are the only one
You don't know
You are the fire of love
You don't know
You can believe it now
You don't know anymore
You are the reason and the rhyme

I walk this road
You follow me
I don't know why

You are the answer now
You don't know
You can be everything
You don't know
You won't believe it now
You don't know anymore

You are the only one
You don't know
You are the fire of love
You don't know
You can believe it now
You don't know anymore
You are the reason and the rhyme
You are the reason and the rhyme

And if I walked away
And left you there
Would you know why?

I'm alone sitting with my empty glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro

You wore white smiling as you took my hand
So removed we spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now smiling as I pulled away

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the metro

I'm alone sitting with my broken glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies - sorry

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro

I've been waking in a state of fire
From a dream about you
And nothing's gonna cool me down
'Til my dream comes true

Does it shoo the butterflies inside
When you meet me at the door
When I say hello and I kiss your mouth
Does it taste a lot like...more?

I want to turn you on when you imagine me in lingerie
I want to make you hunger for the someday I will beg to stay
Just to turn you on

Are you ready I can taste it all
But it's got to be right
On the candles and the sweet perfume
Are gonna touch you tonight

I want to turn you on I want to dance to some exotic song
I want to make you wonder if you still know right from wrong
I want to turn you on

Tell me this is more than just a masturbation fantasy
You're a hot erotic man
I'm the master, You're the slave I need
Does that turn you on?

I want to turn you on

I've gotta turn you on

A man is walking alone
A woman cries at home
They could be anyone
Without each other, how
Could they live through all the lies?
Intentions don't provide
So hold on to those who you love
The only answer

CHORUS
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies

They tell you, try to have hope
And fight for all you can
These words, you've heard them before
So easy to believe

CHORUS
CHORUS

A man is walking alone
A woman cries at home (they could be)
They could be anyone (anyone, the)
The only answer (only answer)

CHORUS
CHORUS

For all tomorrow's lies
Live as one
For all tomorrow's lies
Live as one
For all tomorrow's lies
Live as one
For all tomorrow's lies
Live as one
For all tomorrow's lies

Hey little god with you foot
To the pedal
Hands on the wheel staring
Out through the windshield
Hair streaking back with the
Wind like a raven
Over your shoulder, all is forgotten

Under the rubber, the road is afire
Sweat on your body and rust
On the chromium
One motivation, a single desire
Keep on the move, don't let anyone near you

Here comes confession time
The ghost of my past
On my shoulder now
This is confession time for me

Here comes confession time
The ghost of all
The years have tracked me down
It's confession time for me

Now thinking back to a home
When you had one
Back down the road in the dust, you remember
Lovers you left when you woke up surrounded
Now you're alone
No one to turn to

What do you hide with your Ray-bans
What do you love when you look in the mirror
There's no escape from the voices inside you

Here comes confession time
The ghost of my past
On my shoulder now
This is confession time for me

Here comes confession time
The ghost of all
The years have tracked me down
It's confession time for me

You're on a road to nowhere
But it's your life

Rain down
And nowhere to hide

Rain on me
Rain down
And nowhere to hide
Nowhere to ride

You told me stay away
You watched me walk away

You told me stay away away
I can hear the silence
I can hear the silence
You watched me walk away away
I can hear the silence
I can hear the silence

There's a reason for your sad eyes
There's a reason for your sad life
There's a reason you blame it all on me
Tell me why it's over
I'm lost again
Tell me why I'm laughing
Through the end
Tell me why it's over
Tell me true
Tell me why I'm crying
Over you

I waited hoping you would phone
I can hear the silence
I can hear the silence
And now I'm waiting all alone
I can hear the silence
I can hear the silence
I'm missing your sad eyes
I'm missing your sad smile
I'm missing the only love I've known

Feel the fire, feel my love inside you it's so right
There's the sound and the smell of love in my mind
I'm a toy, come and play with me, say the word now
Wrap your legs around mine and ride me tonight

I'm a man - I'm a goddess
I'm a man - Well I'm a virgin
I'm a man - I'm a blue movie
I'm a man - I'm a bitch
I'm a man - I'm a geisha
I'm a man - I'm a little girl
And we make love together

Slip and slide in your wet delight, feel the blood flow
Not too fast, don't be slow, my love's in your hands

I'm a man - I'm a boy
I'm a man - Well I'm your mother
I'm a man - I'm a one night stand
I'm a man - Am I bi
I'm a man - I'm a slave
I'm a man - I'm a little girl
And we make love together

Skin to skin, tongue to oooh! Come on honey hold tight
Come inside, it's a passion play just for you
Let's get lost in that magic place all alone now
Drink your fill from my fountain of love, wet your lips

I'm a man - I'm a teaser
I'm a man - Well I'm a virgin
I'm a man - I'm a one night stand
I'm a man - I'm a drug
I'm a man - Well I'm your slave
I'm a man - I'm a dream divine
And we make love together

I'm a man - I'm a goddess
I'm a man - I'm a hooker
I'm a man - I'm a blue movie
I'm a man - I'm a slut
I'm a man - I'm a geisha
I'm a man - I'm YOUR babe
I'm a man - I'm a dream divine
And we make love together
And we'll make love forever

Watching every motion
In my foolish lover’s game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid

Take my breath away

Watching every motion
In this foolish lover’s game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there’s a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say

Take my breath away

Trapped in the Shayla funk-excorism
Known to do wonders for the beat-urism
Say what in the Shayla funk-excorism
Known to do wonders for the beat-urism

Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history
She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay
And she goes far away

Green trees call to me
I am free but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone trapped by its beauty

Shayla turned to run away
To leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came

Suddenly some subtle entity
Some cosmic energy brushed her like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
Cars on the freeway
Bright lights and thunder

Trapped in the Shayla funk-excorism
Known to do wonders for the beat-urism
Say what in the Shayla funk-excorism
Known to do wonders for the beat-urism

He's so loud and so young
And so lucky in love
Too hot and too wild
And too never enough
Crazy and nothing at all like my dreams
Feeling the brush of my angel's wings

Angels fly
I don't know why
Close your eyes
And hold me tight

He's so pretty so nasty so wanting for more
Too lazy too sexy to throw out the door
Crazy and falling apart at the seams
Dripping with sweat on my angel's wings

Angels fly
Above the sky
So close your eyes
And hold me tight

He's too rowdy too happy too foolish and free
Too careless and reckless and shameless for me
Crying and falling apart at the seams
It's wrong but you know what, I'd give anything
Seeing the sweat on my angel's wings
