Upstairs they have begun to sweep
The floors and night begins to speak of Possibilities Silence, promises Cities full of story lines Do I have to sing those rhymes Possibilities Broken promises Take away your easy jokes And leave me with the monkeys I know every place to go but Will not go for pennies Talk to me on every screen Someone's always calling me Is this a movie scene A moving movie scene? My back is turned against the car I drop my keys and kiss the floor Countless are the roads from here But my heart is nowhere Take away your easy jokes And leave me with the monkeys I know every place to go but Will not go for pennies My heart My heart My heart Is nowhere Is nowhere Is nowhere Is nowhere |

I took your door bell and rang up the city
I rolled your fags. And it made me feel pretty One gun held against my shoe And the other one pointing at you Refrain: You were all so very lovely, My hands were in the air Fell in love right in the beginning I swear, I swear, I swear Good god. As if they were empty I filled up my pockets, until I had plenty Plenty of things belonging to you Your schools, your fools, your blues Refrain: You were all so very lovely, My hands were in the air Fell in love right in the beginning I swear, I swear, I swear I collected the ghosts that would sleep in your hair and I stole all the words they hung into the air And with them I shaped a pen and a chair, in which I sit, sing and scribble. I composed a dog barking in vain, and with it the silence behind its complaints And with that the highways that take things away, and then discovered that there are no endings And now that I am so completely of you, I do not understand what I do Dear all, I am full of your blood, Full of your absence, Full of your love, Full of your words That will tear me apart, Apart from everything In mid-air blinding the shades The sun appears and I get carried away That was it my truthful account of what it's about |

Guten Morgen 1983
Wo sind deine Kinder? Ich bin zu Dir zuruckgekehrt Nur kurz noch nicht fur immer 1983 zeig mir deine Finger Und frag nach deinem Abdruck 1983 wo sind deine Stimmen Wo sind deine Ausnahmen deine Mongoloiden Wo sind deine Dichter deine Zweifel deine Maden Was hat es gekostet immer besser zu leben? Bitte sing mir ein Volkslied x3 Auch wenn es das nicht mehr gibt Ich hab olige Hande und Ol in meinem Bauch Weissgemalte Wande weissgemalter Staub Meine Augen sind aus Glas und ich sehe immer scharfer Aus meinem Mund stromt Gas und ich werde immer warmer Ich kratze meine Decke nach dem Wetter ich will frieren Ich leg mich in den Keller zu den ausgestorbenen Tieren Ich leg mich in den Kuhlschrank dort liegt noch etwas Eis Dann ruf ich deinen Namen Es ist mein kleines bisschen Wahrheit Wenn dann der Regen doch kommt Und all dein Erfolg war umsonst Und all dein Zeug fließt davon Ja dann hor gut hin x2 Dann singe ich dir ein Volkslied x3 Weil das alles ist was ich hab Komm bitte sing mir ein Volkslied x3 Weil das alles ist was ich hab 1983 Alles muss weg Alles muss sterben Es ist nie zu spat neu geboren zu werden |

You told your tales with pictures
I tried to make it seem good I borrowed the heart of a preacher And believed as hard as I could You don't know how much I worked there You don't know the risk I took You hardly, hardly saw me Behind the mirror round my neck Caught in your Headlights I had to close my eyes Caught in your Headlights I had so little time Caught in your Headlights I couldn't turn back I was never myself I was you I forgot You sold your smiles untroubled Your light was on every face You were too young to know that it mattered That every time someone must pay I bought your every word then I didn't have my side I was too old to learn my first lesson So I dance with tied hands in mind Caught in your Headlights I had to close my eyes Caught in your Headlights I had so little time Caught in your Headlights I couldn't turn back I was never myself I was you I forgot |

In Berlin there is a project
Waiting holding wearing apole and tucked and disposed And i wish there were two little dogs on the logs So I could play with each other The question comes to my head Is should I watch Monty Python like the memory of the dead Millions and trillions who have never had any time When a dream comes up empty When I move I'm taught When a think of a girl in the world And no she won't be enough And the prophet next door Set the stone in your hand Holding your hand And I do understand And I don't understand I just wish I could Stand in the middle Of a mountain City lights forever And now if there is God And if there is not Still I find myself hoping and pleading a lot And then seeing Madonna showing her spots I take a bow to the women in veils When a dream comes up empty When I move I am taught When I think of a boy in the world And no, he won't be enough Citylights, Citylights Citylights forever Ci Ci Ci Ci City lights my City forever |

Your personal religion
Your enthusiastic expression Your daring clothes, your overdose Your intimate songs Your broken vows, your divorces Your forced sexual discourses Your tight jeans, your sun cream spirituality It doesn't speak, doesn't speak Your anti-depressant breakfast table Your MTV porn feeding the children How did your dad think you're worth the war? Your clever quotes on independence Your independent of loneliness Your massive, massive lack of self control It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me Yeah, You're taking care of your body You're taking care of your soul You're psycho, your psychoanalysis Your T-shirt says punk, you're so rock and roll You do whatever you want, oh I know I know You're individual, individual-al-al vomit It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me It doesn't speak, it doesn't speak for me With the sound of my city With the blowing of the wind And the silence of our children sleeping Have I come to understand With the pushing of the rivers With the falling of the rain With the dusting way it's drifting I will sing and sing again It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die, oh no It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die It's never gonna die, it's never gonna die, oh no It's never gonna die, it's never never gonna die |

Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goute Des meandres au creux des reins Et tout ira bien la Le vent nous portera Ton message a la Grande Ourse Et la trajectoire de la course Un instantane de velours Meme s'il ne sert a rien va Le vent l'emportera Tout disparaitra mais Le vent nous portera La caresse et la mitraille Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille Le palais des autres jours D'hier et demain Le vent les portera Genetique en bandouillere Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphere Des taxis pour les galaxies Et mon tapis volant dis ? Le vent l'emportera Tout disparaitra mais Le vent nous portera Ce parfum de nos annees mortes Ce qui peut frapper a ta porte Infinite de destins On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient? Le vent l'emportera Pendant que la maree monte Et que chacun refait ses comptes J'emmene au creux de mon ombre Des poussieres de toi Le vent les portera Tout disparaitra mais Le vent nous portera |

Call back the cards now and
Lay down the pen Take off your glasses And unpack your things Feel with your thumbs the Edge of your chin and Hold your hands up again I lower my head now I Halt and I stand i follow the lines in The palm of my hand Feel with my thumbs the Dust on my skin and No, I will not dream again I'm ready now, I'm going now Nowhere Don't take me out, I'm breaking out In air I'm ready now, I'm going now Nowhere Bring me some water and Don't bring me wine Turn off the movie Let it be time Destroy all the airplanes I'll Sleep on the floor We must dream no more I'm ready now, I'm going now Nowhere Don't take me out, I'm breaking out In air I kill the fire, I'll close the doors And I watch you No more |

I left the stage without encore
Walking back was through the door Had I come to give you more I'm not quite sure what this is for Ho, ho, ho On the threshold I would break Away for you to name the case Are you bored with what you do Am I just entertaining you Ho, ho, ho Give me a second time from afar I am no experiment Give me a second time from afar I could be your empire In every look of yours there's depth Is it for me or for the rest It is love that makes you soft Or whatever day you're shaking off In every word of yours there's hope Are you fighting for my vote Or is it your romantic side That cannot just stay unsatisfied Give me a second time from afar I am no experiment Give me a second time from afar I could be your empire |

It's way over my head, it's over
It's way over my head, it's done Every time you're out the door You wave goodbye You're back for more You'll never get out You'll never get out Every time I loose my shoes I cut my feet I think of you You'll never get out In between my fingers You're the hole inside my head |

When I step out on the street
All the papers speak to me Telling me about the truth on pages Fish are dying out again Michael Jackson had a friend I should not forget to spend my wages That's how everybody knows what everybody knows about Everybody are the bodes that we all know about Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet It's Invisible Obama: Showbiz Jesus: Showbiz Art: Showbiz Democracy: Showbiz Sex: Showbiz Iraq: Showbiz Memories: Showbiz Sophie Hunger: Showbiz I don't know what it is that it is behind the curtain There is something out there burning and is unspoken Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet Invisible Where are all the people at Someone's paying for the fare Why hasn't it exploded yet It's Invisible Somewhere in the Hindukush Lives the greatest poet Scribbling signs into to the dust We would never know it |

There were mountains to begin with
Silence shaped in giant My voice would reach the highest But you cannot tell this in English An old man's precise and attentive My mother's tongue my heart only sounds As a girl I got lost in a cloud But you cannot tell this in English I balance an egg and a spoon I'm never on time, it's too late or too soon In the night there is always the moon That doesn't speak in English |

My love, I cannot
Feel my teeth I cannot feel my feet We're driving forever now Why did we leave and how? 2x Always hungry And the whistle blows And it's blindly running And everybody knows It should be stopping And we should get off And it will collide but We're all tied up Now don't be scared Of what I say It won't carry things away Our words echo on the rails Where all of our days are made 2x Rise your voices With no hesitation The metals are motion Without a trembling That lights your thoughts With anticipation The stations asleep Without a dream And while we're Passing The towns are Passing And while we're Passing The homes are Passing And while we're Passing Time is Passing |
