1. WHO CARES

(No lyrics available)


2. MUST I CRY?

I'm lying on my back, dear, looking at the sky
Watching falling stars, they never tell you why
Oh why you let me sleeping in my warm and empty bed
While you were softly weeping after everything was said

Oh, even when I tried, dear, to be gentle, to be sweet
Oh, you kept on deceiving, being in doubt and that's not sweet
And falling from above, quickly down on the ground
Even so you're falling, like you have found

Is it time to laugh or must I cry?
I like you to be bold (?), they'll never tell you why
Is it time to laugh or must I cry?
I like you to be bold (?), you'll never know why


3. GIPSY RHAPSODY

We yearned from the fire till morning and then we fall down
Falling asleep, a-hearing no sound
Just let me sleep, oh gipsy guitar
Loved all the food in dishes, in silver and gold
And some of their wishes are looking sincere
Waiting for you, waiting for me

And the air is covered in haze that drips on the wall
And if you look into the crystal ball
You should be happy to see me happy, oh yeah

Look around, come on and join me
Oh, play around, come on and join me
Play around, come on and tell me
You got no time for pleasure at all

And the air is covered in haze that drips on the wall
And if you look into the crystal ball
You should be happy to see me happy, oh yeah

Look around, come on and join me
Dance around, come on and join me
Oh play around, come on and tell me
You got no time for pleasure at all


4. CRYSTAL HEAVEN

The fantastic story around your figure,
Is rolling now, through my mind.
I've never heard such lovely stories,
Since I came here to find your kind.
I left reality in a hurry,
I could escape just in time.
Ah, Crystal Heaven seems near to me,
I, I feel her breath blow my mind.

She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.

Oh, Crystal Heaven's got a clear blue skin,
It sparkles every day and night.
She will never fail when she wants to be cold and warm,
Between, ah, dark and light,
To reach you, you, oh Crystal Heaven,
You must be super-human or ah, more of that,
Looking at you and your millions of eyes,
Oh really, you can drive me mad.

She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
Something, it's fantastic,
You wouldn't believe it anyway.
She is something,
I just can't tell you,
You wouldn't believe it anyway,
She is something,
Oh you can't believe it now,
A-Something,
You won't believe it!
A-Something,
Keep on telling you,
Crystal Heaven, now, yeah!

I love you, oh Crystal Heaven,
I love you, oh Crystal Heaven,
The fantastic story around your figure,
Is rolling now through my mind.
I've never heard such lovely stories,
Since I came here to find your kind.
I left reality in a hurry,
I could escape just in time.
Ah, Crystal Heaven seems near to me


5. GOD BLESS THE DAY

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clear
All you can hear is the silence
Of a fairy-like noise far away

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clean
All you have seen is the burying
Of a fairy-like bright early day

The Lord will bless this day
And our food
And the weapons of the enemy in the neighbourhood
The Lord will bless the victory
Of every fool
With a gun, thinkin' he can change the rule

God bless the day, God bless the day
God bless the day, God bless the day

Like one says
He will bless
And we will wait
For what He'll create


6. MY BABY RUBY

I sit here and I'm drinking
Drinking away her name
But God knows if it will help
Until now she still remains
And every glass and every hour
Deeper I will sink
So wondering if it will help
Come on buddy, buy me a drink

Think about my baby, think about her right now
Come on give me the bottle, the bill don't talk about it now
Think about my baby, I think about her right now
The moment I knew she was living, I had to get her anyhow

My baby Ruby, she's groovy
And every time I call her name
She looks at the sky, for me no eye, oh yeah


7. IT'S ALRIGHT, BUT I AMIT IT COULD BE BETTER


(No lyrics available)


8. 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

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


9. AS LONG AS THE WIND BLOWS

How could I tell you that I loved you
You never gave me a chance
How could I know that you put me down
You had no reason, I'm on the ground

How could I know that you were out of reach
Higher than any star, sparklin' in the velvet sky
Why did you make me cry, I couldn't touch you

And I don't know why, yeah I don't know why
You hurt my soul and you lettin' me die
Yeah I don't know why and I don't know why
It's just another day to die, well I sit down and cry
No, no, no ,no

As long as the wind blows
As long as the wind howls
As long as the sea flows
I can't stop lovin' you

Yeah I don't know why, oh I don't know why
You hurt my soul and you let me die
I don't know why, oh I don't know why
It's just another day to sigh, well I sit down and cry
No, no, no, no

As long as the wind blows
As long as the wind howls
As long as the sea flows
I can't stop lovin' you


10. THOUSAND FEET BELOW

I can't get through to you
Even when I do
You slip away like sand
Through the fingers of my hand

You've got that certain look on your face
You smile away the hope I embrace

Imagine you and me
Planted like two seeds
You will grow in sand
I'll eat from your hand

Satisfaction is just another word for pain
Living without, it's gonna drive you insane
I kneel my love, a thousand feet below you
Perform the things you want me too

I can't get through to you
Even when I do
You slip away like sand
Through the fingers of my hand

Satisfaction is just another word for pain
Living without, it's gonna drive you insane
I kneel my love, a thousand feet below you
Perform the things you want me too

Imagine you and me
Planted like two seeds
You will grow in sand
I'll eat from your hand

Satisfaction is just another word for pain
Living without, it's gonna drive you insane

I kneel my love, a thousand feet below you
Perform the things you want me too


11. SILVER SHIPS

Way beyond the horizon of the universe
A silver light shines on me
And way beyond my thoughts, what could that be
The silver light flies faster than at first
And I don't know what it will bring
And I don't know what it may be
And when it falls through the starry sky
I know it falls for me

Silver ship won't you come on down
You can land, all is clear
Can't you hear I'm here

Way beyond the horizon of the universe
Space ships are speeding fast
And don't you know they have watched us for a thousand years
And don't you know we'll die at last
No solution for Mother Earth
Only confusion for the earthly herd
And when it falls through the starry sky
Who knows what life is worth

Silver ship won't you come on down
You can land, all is clear
Can't you hear I am here

6. ONE HUGE ROAD

Sunshine, I'm late back and happy
I wish I could stay here forever
When the sun's gone
I just can't be lazy
Movin' on, to see my baby
So I pack my things and I'm going
The highway, going on my way

Gotta move on, the road is much too long, too long
One huge road for one, one huge road for one


7. EIGHT MILES HIGH

Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known

Signs in the street
That say where you're going
Are somewhere, just being there own

Nowhere is their warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain, gray town, known for it's sound
In places, small faces unbound

'Round the squares, huddled in storms
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Sidewalks scenes and black limousines
Some living, some standing alone
