1. HOLY HOLY LIFE

In bad times when it's dark and cold
You got no place to rest your soul
There's laughter behind your backs
Then it seems the devil rules the deck

Nothin' seems easy these days
Or do I see it in a different way
The world is spinnin', well that's OK
Tell me baby what's the price we pay

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is phony
The sooner or later, they'll find you dead

Why don't you take me down to a rabbit hole
Where a man of peace can hide his soul
Thinkin' about pollution and a birth-control
Better talk to the rabbits, it's somebody's fault

Or maybe sometimes I'm pessimistic
And maybe it ain't so bad, it ain't so sick
I know I'm not the man of constant sorrow
And tell me is it the path of evil to follow

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is phony
Or sooner or later, they'll find you dead

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad, so sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad, so so sad
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
Sometimes is phony, sometimes is sad
Holy, holy, holy


2. WALL OF DOLLS

This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end

Frozen smiles and frowns
Lives of ups and downs
Aren't you, aren't we all
Part of the wall of dolls

Listen to the puppet clown
His tales might bring you down
Hang the dwarfs and trolls
Hang on the wall of dolls

This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end


3. EVERYDAY'S TORTURE

You're my everyday's torture
You're a burnin' light
When dark times surround me
You're my love, you're my fight

You're my everyday's torture
That's what no one denies
My spirit, my splendour
Did I loose, tell me why

I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
I'm hung up on a woman's resolution
There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
Free me, free me

I saw you powerful, I saw you happy
But I only lived for myself
God, I need you so badly
But I expect no help

You're my everyday's torture
The gun at my head
My everyday's torture
The knife at my chest

I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
I'm hung up on a woman's resolution
There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
Free me, free me


4. WHERE WILL I BE

Where will I be
When the sun won't shine anymore
Where will I be
When the moon won't smile anymore
Where will I be, where will I be

Maybe there's a place to hide from the frost
A place where life can get lost
Until then the end is near
And the skies will never be clear

Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying

Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm

Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Now, where will I be

Where will I be
When the children stop crying
Where will I be
When the sun comes near flying
Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm
Where will I be
When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be
When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be
When the sun is burning
Where will I be
When man is yearning, for deliverance
Where will I be


5. SONG OF A DEVIL'S SERVANT

Call my name and I'll be there
To serve your majesty everywhere
No instruction is too much for me
Execute his order, like in a bad dream
Ah, ah, ah,...

There's no use to run and hide
For his eyes are open wide
And when he finds you
Those eyes will burn into your soul

I sold my life, without thinkin' twice
But instead of fortune he gave me lies
I'm facing hell to eternity
The only way out is suicide for me
Ah, ah, ah,...


6. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF PEACE IN MY HEART

The rainbow hides no treasure
Oh believe me it's not true
And there ain't no mixture
That will give you back your youth
No mystic machine that makes the sand turn to gold
Like there ain't no magic word
That holds you back from getting old

I catch a branch
And I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart
Oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture
Can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to meand
Now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and I give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

I catch a branch
And I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart
Oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture
Can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to me
And now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and I give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

The time rolls by, the days go by
When will I learn to stop wondering why
Despairing I'm going down on my knees
I'm begging, begging, begging, oh please

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part


7. ANOTHER 45 MILES

Here comes the night
A veil over the light
In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky
I've got to get home, to my child, my wife

Here comes the night
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
It looks like the road is swallowing me up
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
Blueville is straight ahead

Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son

Clouds in the sky
Gathering for a fight
Chasing their prey till it can't go on
I mend my pace 'cos my bride is waiting home

Here comes the night
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
It looks like the road is swallowing me up
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
Blueville is straight ahead

Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son


8. IT'S ALRIGHT, BUT I ADMIT IT COULD BE BETTER

(No lyrics available)


9. THE GRAND PIANO

Strong rough hands seized the shiny wood
Carried her on stage and there she stood
Every time when she performed
The audience smiled or cried
But after years of cheers and fame
Her sound got old and died

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Strong rough hands seized the shabby wood
Took here there, where she would stay for good
Her study was her destiny
Children used to say
You are still a queen for us
So teach us how to play

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na


10. I'M GOING TO SEND MY PIGEONS TO THE SKY

What's going on, what are we livin' for
When blood sticks to all people's door
What's going on, what are we livin' for
Drop down the curtain, who kills the war

I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly as a sigh

What's going on, what are we livin' for
Dream on prophets, these are dreams you ignore
What's going on, what are we livin' for
Awake from your blindness, see the score

I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly as a sigh


11. BACK HOME

Goin' back right through the city
Through the country, rivers so pretty
People wonder why I'm going back home
Just the place where I belong

Back home, back home,
Back home, back home

Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home

'Round and 'round, the world goes 'round
Got my friends in every town
From border to border, every place I've been
I've gotta be back if you know what I mean

Back home, back home,
Back home, back home

Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home
