Fool's Garden Album

Who you gonna be?
The owner of the moon,
A soon forgotten hero with a never fading bloom.
Who you wanna be?
When you realize you're failing all the time,
Who you wanna be?

Where do you wanna go?
When you leave your past behind,
When you move yourself in circles
and there's nothing left to find.
Where do you wanna go?
When you feel there's nothing left for you to do.

Who you wanna be?
In a world of sad and loneliness.
Who you wanna be?
When you're full of all the emptiness,
Who you wanna be?
When the moon is on the wane,
An ordinary....

Man got a ticket for the life to come,
You will attain the land a day
Man what you wanna take along
Don't you know the price you pay
For your greedy thoughts,
Your pretty gods,
You give yourself away,
Who you wanna be?
Where you wanna go?

Mr. Mirror don't tell me what you see,
I'm a content man,
In a modern world,
That's all I want to be.
Why should i go to a place I never wanted to belong?

I don't wanna be in a world of sad and loneliness,
I don't wanna be the fool of all the emptiness,
I don't wanna be a shadow in the rain,
An ordinary man...

You've changed the world around you
Is it better now?
No starving anymore
Hey,is it better now?
Your helpless little fingers
They've never been as calm as now
Your trembling is over
It's better now

If there was a light in the dark
I would try to wake you up
Could I look into your eyes
While another baby cries
Forgive me

I see the children in the playfield
You had to leave your place
Your silent accusation
They took away your face
Your little life was over
before it ever had begun
Your little wings were broken
You've never reached the sun

If there was a light in the dark
I would try to wake you up
Could I look into your eyes
Would you take my alibis
Forgive me

Ev'rybody knows it
Repression is the way
You're not the child next door
You're much too far away

But there's no light in the dark
So I won't try to wake you up
I couldn't look into your eyes
In this world of alibis
Forgive me

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

Sing
Da-da-da-da-da-di-da-da
Da-da-da-da-di-da-da
Da-di-di-da

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

Hello, who are you?
I never saw this girl before
I was astonished as can be
Somebody told me she said
you're just a hungry little guy
So I would like to offer me
to bake some cake for you
The sweetest one you've ever tried
A special cake for you
The one that makes you satisfied
Good-bye sadness,
I'm dreamin' while you slip away

She took me by the hand
She really took me by surprise
One piece of cake was not enough
And so I helped myself
We danced in fool's paradise
and I got drunk of all the love
Then I realized she moved her velvet body over mine
I felt like melting ice
I just admit this woman was divine
Hey, hey, madness,
I'm Dreamin' while you slip away

While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song
And Mary the singer swept the street
The honeymoon's floating over the river
Your cake is sweet

I had a heartache
All the pain was over now
She said: "Bye, bye, little babe"
It was nice to meet you
She closed her eyes and disappeared
I hope some day we'll meet again
If apple or cherry-pie
you honey-bee I love the way you bake
Your cakes are wonderful
Don't care about my stomach-ache
Good-bye sadness,
I'm dreamin' while you slip away

While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song
And Mary the singer swept the street
The honeymoon's floating over the river
Your cake is sweet

Riding on a boat of time into the future
waiting for the day to go under
Inside the great big ocean
we look for the origin
We're riding, riding and we wonder

Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've get out again
We're looking for the reason
for the big wheel's spinning around ?out ancestries found

Take me down ?to where the water flows
Take me up ?to where the big wind blows
and make me melt inside of you
Take me out ?come on and take me into

We're passengers of time
succeeding our fathers
We're standing in a queue and we rack
our brains over riddles, problems and solutions
At any day we reach the track

Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've get out again
All we know is that
we really don't know nothing at all ?face to the wall

Take me down ?to where the water flows
Take me up ?to where the big wind blows
and make me melt inside of you
Take me out ?come on and take me into

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

The sky's blue
The water's blue too
My baby's walking away
Out of the blue ?into a fuckin' day
She feels good
and she feels sorry for me
She tells me "honey don't worry"
But I am so confused
my baby's walking, walking away

It don't mean nothing to me
You don't mean nothing to me ?stay!
And think about the

Wild, wild days
Don't you feel like I feel?
Wild, wild days
Is it a dream is it real?
Wild, wild days

Sitting in the middle of the battlefield,
my baby is walking away
All the wounds
that could have been healed
But my baby is walking away
I bought you flowers
I buttered your bread
I washed your car
Don't you remember you said
you would love me till the end
And now you're walking away

It don't mean nothing to me
You don't mean nothing to me ?stay!
And think about the

Wild, wild days
Don't you feel like I feel?
Wild, wild days
Is it a dream is it real?
Wild, wild days

It's too late,
it's time for you to wake up
She don't need flowers
only diamonds and make-up
So sorry but now she's on my mind
Talk about the

Wild, wild days
Don't you feel like I feel?
Wild, wild days
Is it a dream is it real?
Wild, wild days

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

You said it in a strange kind,
I don't forget the day.
Your smile is not the same now,
you've drawn your hands away.
I don't begrudge it to you,
You've found another place.
Another place is good too,
but I can't look inside your face,
inside your face - now you get away.

And now we shunt our train on to a siding,
I see you wave your hand and disappear.
You said come on and fly with me,
fly and then we'll dive
into an endless sea.
And now you fly again,
I couldn't fly like you.
Now I'm losing you.

Pathos - how the eyes gape.
I've got blood in my hands.
Thoughts about the promises
and all the tears that we have shed.
Don't you let them use you,
be cautious when you dive
into the world around you,
You've broken all the ties,
All the ties - now you get away

And now we shunt our train on to a siding,
I see you wave your hand and disappear.
You said come on and fly with me,
fly and then we'll dive
into an endless sea.
And now you fly again,
I couldn't fly like you.
Now I'm losing you.

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

And when the land begins to call
The sprites they dance
The leaves they fall
The change's begun
and what remains
Not even thoughts ?not even names

We can remember can forget
We can achieve the highest aims
But we won't change the rules we're depending on
Now the freak of nature's holding up
the mirror to the haughty thoughts
Our brains are filled up
Don't you feel the earth is trembling to heal
the wounds we injured to her heart
The things are easy as they are

And when the land begins to call
The sprites they dance
The leaves they fall
The change's begun
and what remains
Not even thoughts ?not even names

And when the time begins to fade
The side-scene changes because it's late
We cannot keep ?we drop the ball
For now the land begins to call

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler/Röhl)

You saw her standing at the gateway
with her hands in the clouds,
But the higher she is moving
the more it gets you down
And she's waiting in the afterglow
With her eyes somewhere else
It's like she says:
"Don't let it worry you"

Was it just a warning
Someday you might awake
Maybe all inside of you
is not enough for what you take
Was it just a warning
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you,
maybe you'll fail

Somewhere out where you are standing still
and shovel dust in the wind
Someone told you'd
better wait until the rain will begin
Maybe it's time for reflections
and the night endless long gives
you chance enough
to make believe it's going on

Was it just a warning
Someday you might awake
Maybe all inside of you
is not enough for what you take
Was it just a warning
Someday you might awake
And maybe all inside of you,
maybe you'll fail

(Hinkel / Wissler)

No longer the same train
It's reelin' on a different track
No longer the same mistakes
And no more looking back
The station you're heading for
is not a place for me
I couldn't see the barriers
while I was standing in between

Finally
No longer the man I used to be

No longer the same ship
We were sailing on a different sea
No other apparent reason
to go down on my knees
We were runnin' way too fast,
but now it's runnin' off the rails
I couldn't see the exit
Not before the moment we were bound to fail

Finally
No longer the same shit
Finally
No longer the same train
Finally
Without you, without you
Finally, finally

No longer the fool for you,
no puppet on a satin string
No more excuses for nothing,
no more words that I don't mean
We were plantin' the same tree
but we had different leaves
Now the soil is dry
Let's end up this story
For another one to begin

Finally

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

Who's gonna cover me
when I shiver in a frigo
in a house of steel?
And who's gonna kill the pain?
Is it me? It is me!
Close my eyes ?pass the door

Walk up on a stormy, cloudy day
You can colour the grey sky, grey sky
Walk up on a stony, narrow way
Sun ?one fine day

Who's gonna follow me
when I leave a little trace behind?
And who's gonna call my name
when I'll attain a new land?
Close my eyes ?pass the door

Walk up on a stormy, cloudy day
You can colour the grey sky, grey sky
Walk up on a stony, narrow way
Sun ?one fine day

Looking at the surface
but the beauty is inside
I see the colours change
Should I bow myself and pray
Should I be afraid of bad news
Should I move myself or stay
Turn another page now
Don't you think about your constitution
Open the cage now
Ev'ryday's a revolution
Open the cage now
No time to weigh
I'll turn another page ?one fine day
