Hot&Bright
You’re an outsider
Who’s sending his coordinates
Beyond the sidelines
Chasing unappreciated grace
And if slippery people
Turn their back on you
The clarity of your emotion
Helps to beat the blues
The clarity of your emotion
Helps cutting through
To cut through…
Thought all the scars
Made your skin hard and stiff
Where particles outspoken
Superficially grazing
But every touch is transmitted
Via proteins
Straight into the center of
Limbic gelatin
Right away stimulating
Your compulsive me
Your compulsive me
Your compulsive me
Your compulsive me
You’re glowing hot and bright
Hot and bright
You’re glowing hot and bright
hot and bright
Words still echoing
Senses, lost in the night
Like friction burns
At a certain kind a vibe
But whatever did enter
The atmosphere
Gave an impulse
Through the surface
It’s not so hard to see
The echo still resonates
Your Compulsive me
Your compulsive me
Your compulsive me
Your compulsive me
You’re glowing hot and bright
Hot and bright
You’re glowing hot and bright
Hot and bright
Happily Destroyed
Hope is the thing with feathers
Until debris takes flight through the blast
Scorched shadows telling time forever
Disrupted silence from the flash
I’m finding out what matters
When the ground begins to shake
Broken homes crackin’ open
Shattered tiles about the place
It’s all been set in motion, once it’s lit
(enjoy the rise, enjoy the rise)
Try to see it rise until it is…
Happily destroyed
Happily destroyed
Buckle up, lay back!
Happily destroyed
Can you hear liberty’s ballad?
Or was it just the singing sand
Giving way to steel being twisted
Like wax paper in child’s hand
A fat cat frowns in disbelief
Skipping town in his jet to Nice
His visionary ship is ready to cast off
Named “ode to simplicity”
It’s all been set in motion, once the fuse is lit
(enjoy the rise, enjoy the rise)
Try to see it rise until it is…
Happily Destroyed
Happily Destroyed
Buckle up, lay back!
Happily Destroyed
Happily Destroyed
Happily Destroyed
Buckle up! Relax!
Happily Destroyed
Take your monkey by the hand
And get happily Destroyed
Danton
You set yourself up nicely
At Tia’s place
People say London can be rough
But it embraced you like a good ol’friend.
You never missed a beat, did you?
You never stayed for too long
As it felt right to you, you grabbed your guitar
And moved on and on…
Danton got lost on the seven seas
Messages in bottles nobody found
You once rode a storm to bastille
Now you’re stranded on a black rock
And you’re calling for your black dog
What’s going on Danton?
Sia looked so pretty
You followed her call to the valley
But your plans started to fade
As she counted the crumbs falling off your plate
Anarchy and pleasure
Still permeate your universe
So you dishevelled little devil moved on
Another liaison came to its end
the end, the end…
Danton got lost on the seven seas
Messages in Bottles nobody found
You once rode a storm to bastille
Now you’re stranded on a black rock
And you’re calling for your black dog
Hey what went wrong Danton?
What can I say? You will see one day
That you were led astray on someone else’s way
On someone else’s way
But I really hope you won’t be – by then
The one who’s introduced to the guillotine man
To the guillotine man
Yeah!
You had to be rescued
At the lawless end of the street
A vampires grandeur was radiating
From your pale cheeks
Now you traded all for a ball’n’chain
And call yourself the exploited man
Who always gave and never got
Banalities carefully dropped
Lord knows what goes…
oh lord, oh lord…
Danton got lost on the seven seas
Messages in Bottles nobody found
You once rode a storm to bastille
Now you’re stranded on a black rock
And you’re and calling for your black dog
What’s going on Da…
Danton is lost on the seven seas
Radio Messages were not received
You once rode a storm to bastille
Now you’re stranded on a black rock
And you’re calling for your black dog
Hey what went wrong Danton?
Devil's Chord
You step out the line of fire
When my anger is triggered by a blink
You lay your hands on me
Turn werewolf into sheep
You make it easy to admit “I wasn’t right”
And during all that fuss you stay by my side
Could be a satellite out of control
Moving at the speed of light towards the sun
But before I get too close,
Before the atmosphere explodes
You save me from the heat that burns all ties
You save me from burning down the sky
Hear the devil’s chord
The cascade to the flatted fifth
You complete heavenly
The devil ’s chord
Before all walls collapse
You tame the Energy
We were walking broken roads
As we evolved into king and queen
I never thought about what you see
I never asked why you chose me
But the moment I felt insecure
You let me know
Cosmic relations resist space, time
And much more.
Could be a satellite out of control
Heading at the speed of light towards the sun
But before I get too close,
And burn without a trace
You save me from the heat that burns our love
You save me when I’m wrestling with myself
Hear the devil’s chord
The cascade to the flatted fifth
You complete heavenly
The devil’s chord
Before all walls collapse
You neutralise the Energy
Queen of Beijing
Faces coded in data
Biometric files of symmetry and grace
The CCTV caught her right at the airport
Detected this fever
On her made up face
Strangers spoke about repatriation
So she took the next flight from Berlin
She erased the posts she made
But couldn’t part with her profile name
She’s the Queen of Beijing
She’s the Queen of Beijing
Strangers came for her brother
They sent images, his head was shaved
Now she can’t reach her parents even on the landline
Cut from all services. Their life – switched on mute
Her Taxi passed a billboard of shame
As she looked for someone she knew
She grabbed the Maos she found in her purse
Left over from her last trip to their universe
She’s the Queen of Beijing
She’s the Queen of Beijing
It’s all right, It’s all right
Once some misfits at Tiananmen turned towards the light
It’s all right, It’s all right
But they didn’t make it for too long, her mother wisely said
It’s all right, It’s all right
It’s gonna be all right
