Alphaville Album

World without a breeze
Heartbeat of the heat above the harbour
Lazy day lies dazed upon the shelf
Atomic lizards lick at the blaze of a light that is forever
No move in the solid skies
No gleaming metal out of the breathtaking blue

My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play
Whoever breaks the Seven Seals
And lets the angry angels free
I do not know
Just waiting here
For summer rain
For summer rain
Or anything else

Prophet hold your head up
Into a cluster of bees and listen
"Love of my life
Here is all our honey
Yes, we can change the world, together"
And if we're still invited to walk in this party
I'd go for a saucerful of secrets or more
But the last thing I heard of was that GOD had left the lines
For a brand new universe
HE was supposed to say

My golden circus girls all sailed away
The lion tamers are no longer due to play
Whoever breaks the Seven Seals and lets the angry angels free
I do not know
Just waiting over there
For summer rain
For summer rain

What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
Just cool rain

There's a boy
With a little black dog
There's a boy
With a little black dog
And he looks
At his watch
For a while

And the falling years
Wash away his make up
And the falling years
Wash away his make up
Just like rain
On the fading snow

He's a lonesome streetside romeo
You can see him from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
He's awaiting you
He's a lonesome streetside romeo
You can see him from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
He's awaiting you

All the boys
Are locked in a fortress
All the girls
Are locked in a fortress
Just because
It's a crime
It could be
It could be

Flesh and blood
In iron and steel
Flesh and blood
In iron and steel
Just because
It's a crime
It could be
It could be

We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you
We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you

We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you
We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you

La la la la la la la
We chose a different side
La la la la la la la
We chose a different side, a different side
(We're all lonesome streetside romeos)
We chose a different side
(This world's a divided place, you know)
We chose a different side, a different side
(We're all lonesome streetside romeos)
This world's a divided place, you know
(This world's a divided place, you know)
We're awaiting you, we're awaiting you
(We're all lonesome streetside romeos)
We chose a different side
We all change our points of view sometimes
We're awaiting you
You can see us from your windows tonite
A different side
A different side
(This world's a divided place, you know)
(We're awaiting you)
Awaiting you

gold/1987

She's like a frostfern in my headThe lamplight burns my eyes and then she fades awayMy pencil's frozen in my handAnd the letter I can't write, it seems to be a desert without endI woke up late at nightShe called me up, then disappearedAnd the echo of her voiceFilled the empty places in my dreamsWith the silent tide
CHORUSShe fades awayAgainOo, she fades awayShe fades away againDon't go nowPlease stay
My senses cruising through a voidAs pale reflections play on the deserted roadI hear the humming of machinesA distant sound like thunderCrawling through the coldThere's no escape, I knowI run around in circles without endAnd the more the memory growsDissolving from realityWith the silent tide
CHORUS
Don't make me cry
This timeI've got to learnI knowShe won't returnThis timeI've got to learnI knowShe won't returnThis time I've got to learnI know she won't returnThis time I've got to learnI know she won't returnThis time I've got to learnI know she won't returnThis time I've got to learnI know she won't returnDon't make me cryDon't make me cryDon't make me cryDon't make me cryThis time I've got to learnI know she won't returnThis time I've got to learnI know she won't returnDon't make me, don't make me cry

All I want is you, don't you know that
Forever loving you, don't you know that it's true?
I'm leaving you tonight, but don't listen if they say
That we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
We cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
They put on us, my love
We're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
They never understand

CHORUS
The mysteries of love
Here's the mysteries of love
Give your body to the mysteries
Tear down your uniforms
Here's the mysteries of love

All I want to be, don't you know that
All we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea?
We kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile
'Cross the iron borderlines that butterflies despise
We cannot lose at all
Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
Forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
They'll never understand

CHORUS

CHORUS
CHORUS

Ah, forever loving you
(Forever loving you)
The mysteries of love
(The mysteries of love)
The mysteries of love
The mysteries
(Yeah, the mysteries)
The mysteries of love
Tear down your uniforms
(Tear down your uniforms)
They never understand
They never understand
(Forever loving you)
The mysteries of love
(Forever loving you)
The mysteries of love
The mysteries of love
(So don't you, don't you, don't go there)
The mysteries of love

CHORUS

Driving down the streets, listening to the radio

All the casanovas, even zombies agree
With the hummingbirds and the beasts from the sea
Ariana's a real sensation
When will she be on the, when will she be on the screeeeeen

Arianamaniacs rule the world, haven't you heard?

Arianamaniacs

Once I awoke
The shadow of your smile had crossed my mind
How could I know this was your last goodbye?
That's slipping through the windmills of the night
You never understand when she's talking to you
Little boy
You never understand when she's talking to you
She's too far away

CHORUS
Is it Heaven or Hell?
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
And the world is a clown who cries
And no one can tell, is it real?

Once I cried
Whenever I awoke without you
A stranger in the thunder of the dark
I'm praying to the Sun to shine tonite
You never understand when she's talking to you
Mon amour
You never understand when she's talking to you
She's too far away

CHORUS
CHORUS

CHORUS

A clown who cries

Oh, I love to dance
Under an alien sun
Along the dunes with you
I kiss you in the sand
We give so that we live
Beside the sleepy snakes
They dream of you and me
When will they ever end?

CHORUS
For a million years they dream
For a million years they dream
And the fog conceals and hides and eats our souls
Before they open up their eyes again
How far we'll be
Remember me

Won't stop loving you
Although it seems to be
Our time is running out
I'm leaving you behind
No matter what they say
We'd never meet again
Our love is bigger
Than our lives

CHORUS

(And we know that yesterday)
(The moon was brown)
(And that today it is black)
(And that tomorrow it is red)
(And we know that when we go to the Sun)
(The Moon comes along) (hello there!)
(And the cows in the pasture graze)
(And we know that we know what we know)
(Is it truth?)

At the edge of the Moon there's a lonely man
And he blows on his horn as strong as he can
And the girl at the bar wipes the breath of winter
Away with a smile of her face
And a little black dog barks along with a loon
Is this my appointment or did I come too soon?
Got a strange invitation for tea time
'Twas given by somebody I can't recall

CHORUS
It's the middle of the riddle, it's not very serious
It's nothing but a big surprise
And the president's horse is a rabbit, of course, that is living in a big boy's mind
(Living in a big boy's mind)

And I skate on a knife on a wire
That is strung from this song to a distant shore and then I say
Intuition is just another phase of chance
While we're crawling through the old pyramid's floors (little pharaohs)
And the little black dog, here it comes again
It's a true companion in a foreign land
On a quest for the valley of boojums and birthdays
And phonecalls I cannot recall

CHORUS

Living in a big boy's mind
Living in a big boy's mind
Living in a big boy's mind
Living in a big boy's mind
Living in a big boy's mind
Living in a big boy's mind

All of man shan't talk to the one at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one, shall talk to no one at all
(rule 42)
All of man shan't talk to the one at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one, shall talk to no one at all
And a horse is a rabbit of course (yes, indeed)
Yes, a horse is a rabbit of course

[No lyrics]

Welcome
Or should I say goodbye
It's a question how close we are apart
Are you going back home after this show
Or leaving for the wild?
And when you're passing the wardrobe
What will you take?
Your worn out hat of hopes
Or someone else's attractive furs to make it through
The playgrounds of your life

CHORUS
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
All the pieces came together
Finally
But not too late
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that I'm not there
Make your choice
I love you anyway
I love you anyway

(I love you anyway)
(Just make your choice)
(Pretend that I'm not there)
(All the world is gone)
(All the world is gone)
(Just take it, just take it)
(And you'll make it)
(Alright, yeah)
(Ride on)
(Ride on)

CHORUS
