She dresses up and goes downtown
For a dance with her
Strangers come from miles around
The gentlemen all close their eyes
And dream of little girls
With money in their pocket
They’re used to buy the world
And I say...
[Chorus]
Uuuhh girl, watching you
Makes my heart bleed
Now I know loving you is bitter sweet
I‘m a fool, girl,
Cause you’ll never set me free
Now I know loving you is bitter sweet
A tear like jade and a drop of wine
And the way she looks
Really drives me out of my mind
To waterside pavilions and
Through winding corridors
I follow her just like the rest
Always coming back for more
And I say...
[Chorus]
The gentlemen all close their eyes
They’re used to buy the world
And I say...
[Chorus]

Mother exiles her sons
When will I hear
The sounds of laughter again
No matter what might come
We´ll face the truth from now on
We are homeless people
Mother exiles her sons
The wind blows hard
In this hollow land
The cities may change
But there´ll always remain
A little hope of walking
This path back again

Faces (Demo)

Faces at my window,
Eyes that stare at me
Curious looks, like ants
They creep into my privacy
Faces in the streets,
There´s no place I can go
Faces from the rooftops
To the gutter and below
Faces in the subway,
Faces that don´t care
Dirty little stories make my
Good mood disappear
[Chorus]
Faces, faces, faces
Faces all around
Places where no space is
All around this town
There´s no room to breathe
No place to be alone
Heaven get me out of here
Or tell me what I´ve done
Faces when I wake up
Early in the day
Livid faces in the mirror,
Got to look away
Faces on the staircase,
Spying from the rear
When I stop and turn around
They quickly disappear
Faces on the sidewalk,
Faces that don´t move
Faces with a thousand lines
And faces in the groove
[Chorus]
Faces in the papers,
Faces on the screen
Faces selling cars and soap
And faces selling dreams
Faces all around me,
No place I can go
Faces from the rooftops
To the gutter and below
[Chorus]

Hypnotized (Demo)
03:46
|
|||
|
A window blind is casting
Shadows on your naked skin
Despite your beauty you´re not human
And I´m supposed to kill you
But looking out the window
I can see the crowd drifting in grey
Trapped in this city by the pouring rain
And I too have to stay
[Chorus]
Hypnotized by a strange affection
Hypnotized, and no way out
Hypnotized, mind has surrendered
Hypnotized when I touch you
Hypnotized by a strange affection
Hypnotized, and no way out
Hypnotized, mind has surrendered
Hypnotized
And reason tells us this room´s danger
The hunter´s almost there outside
But time around us is a thief
Stealing thoughts and memories
L ooking out the window
I can see our soulboats drift away
Out of this jungle and the pouring rain
Can we ever be the same?
[Chorus]

Valerie (Demo)

Valerie, beauty queen,
Pride of your street,
I was just a number in your little book
Valerie, the people said
One day you’d go far,
And would surely lead a life of luxury
Valerie – now you’re dreaming
With the two of us, you know,
It never could work out
I was just a number in your little book
Hey you pretty blue-eyed girl,
Do you know the rules?
I hope you’ll find out
Before you hit the ground.
Valerie – now you’re dreaming
[Chorus]
Dreams can take you...
Higher than the mountains
High up to the stars above
Your fame-train set in motion
And all those tears in all those years
Can’t stop you now
I was just a number in your little book
But you would surely lead
A life of luxury
Valerie – now you’re dreaming
[Chorus]

For a moment I was sure
That I´d seen her face before
But she turned and walked away
Like a cat at night
Waking up by distant screams
I never can get hold of dreams
When they´re coming back one day
They never look the same
[Chorus]
In the streets of our town
We were running ´round
With our heads full of doubt
Safe and sound
We were looking for a lover
Searching for ourselves
And the world that is real
While the catherine wheel turns
I remember clearly now
The smouldering ashes on the ground
No way left to walk upon,
Yesterday has gone
Waking up by distant screams
I never can get hold of dreams
When they´re coming back one day
I won´t be the same
[Chorus]
Waking up by distant screams
I never can get hold of dreams
No way left to walk upon,
Yesterday has gone
[Chorus]
