Hooverphonic

You are my autoharp
I push every button on your body
I push the a minor, the e flat, the f major
And especially the c sharp 7
You are my autoharp
I play every string in your mind
And even when I play them very loud
They keep in tune
But how will they sound soon
You are my autoharp
I bought you in a pawnshop in virginia

You were cheap but in good condition
Longing for someone to take you on an exotic trip
You are my autoharp
I carried you all over the world
In my hard case called the heart
You're the reason for my blood to keep running
Through my veins every album again

water falling down a hundred meters colored by the sun in rainbow colours paul is driving me around through fields of light blinded by the sun fight the clouds be an inhaler have no doubts let them take you on a voyage to another

Sweet relief calms me down
Makes me drown
Lost and found
Neighbours complain
Sheets are stained
Hotel shower
The best around

Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn't know
About these feelings we can't control

People they want us to fall down
But we won't ever
Touch the ground
'Cause we're perfectly balanced
We'll float around
'Til noone is near
Do you hear this sound
Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn't know
About these feelings we can't control

This strange feeling captures us
It generates this huge fuzz
I miss you all the time I must face
I miss your touch and your embrace

Feel the need to wonder Inside
Fulfill your basic needs Deep inside
We wander by the lake of tears
And smell the odor of our fear Inside
Deep inside
All these creepy things crawling
Deep inside

Feel the urge to grow Inside
Our world is covered with clouds Deep inside
We wander by our ocean of tears
We try to hide our frozen fear Inside
Deep inside
All these creepy things crawling
Deep inside

Electro screens of light
And poppy-colored brights
I'm floating on air
Pink fluffy dinosaurs
Tremendously hardcore
I'm floating again
This fake fir place
Won't warm my soul nor face
But still I'm floating Again
Hypnosis releases brakes
Make you do things you usually fake
It makes you float Again
Those bitten by the wild
Will live on
But those who used to bite Have gone
Golden mirror on the wall
Will make our lives less dull
We'll be floating through the day
All our money's almost gone
But still we live the life we want
We are floating through the day
Those bitten by the wild
Will live on
But those who used to bite Have gone
Have gone Have gone Have gone

Tell me why
Do you always forgive the things I do to you
You're too good
Or am I not too bad
Those six years
Were the best that ever happen
to me and you
No regrets after all this fear
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me

Tell me why
I can't find satisfaction somewhere else
Not good enough
Or am I way too bad
Those six years
I consumed all your energy
And I didn't replace
Sad enough
I can't give you what you need
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me
Six years
Such a long time
Can't give you what you need
Six years
Such a long time
Something special between you and me
You and me

Everybody wants one
Everybody's got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved

Everybody wants one
Everybody's got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved

Everybody wants one
Everybody's got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved

Everybody wants one
Everybody's got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved
Is it you who's going to guide me
Through this labyrinth of poems
Is it you that's going to make me
Gonna make me feel home
And every time we live together
We just die a bit more
So why don't we just stop
Oh let's just stop to adore
Why
Is it so hard
To make the right choice

Johnny went to frosted flake
To go for a walk in the frozen wood
He bumped into a mushroom
That sold his body for some warm food
Eat me my friend, you'll be the leader of the band
Johnny's hand reached out
Luckily there was mr doubt
Mr doubt the old man was the surveyor
Of frosted flake wood
He tried to sell hesitation wherever he could
Buy some doubt
Feel free he yelled loud
Friends it won't hurt
Luckily there was big bird
For god's sake run away
Or it won't be your lucky day
Leave this forest behind
This ain't a place for human kind

I...like the things that you hate
And you...hate the things that I like
But it hurts
Honesty's your church
But sometimes
It's better to lie
But sometimes
It's better to lie
I...am the vinegar and salt
And you...are the oil that dissolves
My frustration
Honesty's limitation

But sometimes It's better to lie

Bought this guitarAt a shop called mars
But on the way back home
Strange things happened in my car
Started to play All by itself
Creatures jumped from The highest shelf
Until I touched string 12
This magnificent tree Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves It's strength was divine
Synthesized gnomes Penetrated this godly zone
Summer was thrown off It's royal thrown
This magnificent tree Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves It's strength was divine

Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn't harden

Jackie cane was everybody's sugar

She'd melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour
Salty days for jackie cane

These gigantic waves just take me
To an unknown destination
Under the moonlight
Feel free to join me on my trip
The tide will take us far
Beyond midnight
Stars will guide us through this
Exotic white
Stars won't be able to fool the knowledge
Of the magic dice

This sea breeze is refreshing
While the dolphins sing about
These psychedelic moods
These waves keep you going
'Till you finally forget
Your original roots
Stars will guide us through this
Exotic white
Stars won't be able to fool the knowledge
Of the magic dice

Wave after wave

Feel the vibe, feel the terror,
feel the pain It's driving me insane
I can't fake
For god sakes why am I
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if
it's wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you Mad
Are you the fishy wine that will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That'll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That it why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
So mad about you
Mad about you Mad about you Mad
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you Mad about you

I'm not going down on my knees
Begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery
And torture for me
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can
I've tried the hardest I could
To make you see
How important it is for me

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
Understand me

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before
That I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how important is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
Understand me

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me

To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

Longing for winter
Longing for cold
Bikeride through the snow
Blinded by darkness
Summer flows to the cemetery slow

Pink versus black
Black versus magenta
This picture of you
Just melts in my agenda
While seasons change you know
Yes, the season change you know
With the flow

Days just shorten
Days just glow
This fire keeps us warm
While this storm will uncover
Our secret place called
The cemetary dawn

Pink versus black
Black versus magenta
This picture of you
Just melts in my agenda
While seasons change you know
Yes, season change you know
( Look left )
With the flow
( Look down )
( Look up )
( Look right )
( You're camouflaged by a wall of blue )
( And turn the world magenta ... )

Micro liquid feelings
Will never solve
Pacific problems

Exotic fish will never be able to walk
As long as we live

Micro liquid feelings
Will never solve
Pacific problems

Exotic fish will never be able to walk
As long as we live

Walkers can come first
This golden century
And now I really see
It's still a luxury

You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it

You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it

You make my world in white
You make my darkness bright, oh yes
You've got this strange effect on me
And I like it, and I like it

And I like the way you kiss me
Don't know if I should
But this feeling it's love and I know it
That's why I feel good

Overwhelming as they are
Breeding hope by counting stars
Merge the bitterness the pain
Which I'm sure
You can explain again

One gets hurt when she feels small
( And she's longing for some peace )
Beeing the center of it all
( Slow attack but fast release )
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same

Overwhelming as they are
( With their mistifying glow )
Breeding hope by counting stars
( As they hunger for the show )
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same

Long black dress
Hawaian shirt
Kicking pair of trainers
Electro shock faders

Guiding your voice through your veins
Sick of all this working
Longing for a sinking

Guiding your voice through your veins
Sick of all this working
Longing for a sinking

Ship that rules the bottom of the sea
A bottle as a prison not really my idea
Of a perfect environment it makes you see
Everything's a blur
Do you know what I mean
