1. In Trance
I wake up in the morning
and the sun begins to shine
the day did sneak up on the night
I see your face and I see myself
and I get a little taste of life
I try to stand it for a while
But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
I feel so sad I'm feeling down
On the radio the music plays
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I close my eyes
I think today is getting better with a sip of wine
and I can stand it for a while
When I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me caling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey...Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
2. Pictured Life
Ooh! Dark meditation,
Your second sight can show my light
In a crystal ball.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.
Ooh! Dark meditation,
Deep down inside a stream of light
Begins to flow.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.
Pictured life, pictured life
Pictured life from yesterday ...
3. Speedy's Coming
You look at a poster
You look at the wall
The wall in the room where you live
Where you live with your stars
Just listen to his records
Now hear what he says
For he says, "i love you little girl
Come to see me today"
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
You like alice cooper
You like ringo starr
You like david bowie
And friends in the royal albert hall
Stick up the pictures, movies, tv
And I’ll bring you the show little girl
Come to see me today
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
You like alice cooper
You like ringo starr
You like david bowie
And friends in the royal albert hall
Stick up the pictures, movies, tv
And I’ll bring you the show little girl
Come to see me today
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
Speedy’s coming
You live in his heart
4. In Your Park
In the night there is
A gentle voice of silence
So low and quiet
She'll catch me 'cos I've been longing.
I want to walk in your park
Cos I'm alone,
I want to walk in your heart
Where are you? I don't know ...
I look around and see
The sunshine in the morning.
(Shadows in the night
Like angels by your side in the alley ...)
On my journey I change the time,
Leave everything behind me.
(Shadows in the night
Like angels by your side in the alley ...)
I want to walk in your park
Cos I'm alone,
I want to walk in your heart
Where are you? I don't know ...
Let me walk, let me walk in your heart!
5. Life's Like A River
As years are passing by
Silence becomes your friend
You see the world in a different way
Don't be afraid of getting old
Life's still full of joy
And the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind
When days are getting short
And winter comes along
Your life slows down and down
Like a river getting wide
The worlds have lost their force
You remember your morning flow into the endless sea
When days are getting short
And winter comes along
Your life slows down and down
Like a river is getting wide
The worlds have lost their voice
You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea
Life's like a river in the morning
Life's like a sea without end
Life's like a river in the morning
Life's like a sea without end
Life's like a river in the morning
Life's like a sea without end
Life's like a river in the morning
Life's like a sea without end
6. Backstage Queen
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna I know
You wanted my love and I gave it to you.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road.
Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna so good
My feeling with you was all very true.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road.
Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.
Hey little Donna
Sweet little Donna
Goodbye Donna ...
7. Drifting Sun
Well, I’m sitting on a stone
Sitting all alone
Daisies are rolling down the mountain
Well see the lonesome tramp
Who’s living in the damp
Nobody’s in the valley
Shine on, shine on sun
Oh it’s so cold right here
Shine on, shine on sun
Shine on all night long
All night long
Baby doll, I’m sad and blue
Glossy wings will carry you
Well, midnight sun will never shine
These ravings of a fool
You’re thinking all about him all the time
Shine on, shine on sun
Oh it’s so cold right here
Shine on, shine on sun
Shine on all night long, all night long
All night long, yeah
One day baby told you sun just fades away
Forgot your life is fading, now he’s in the grave
Some days like drifting haze
Some days like glowing blaze
Some days like tides of light
Some days like tides of night
One day baby told you sun just fades away
Forgot your life is fading, now he’s in the grave
Some days like drifting haze
Some days like glowing blaze
Some days like tides of light
Some days like tides of night
Travelling along a tropic highway
Crazy as the world goes round and round
Hallowed heaven, night or day
Burning thing has putting the sun away
Shine on, shine on sun
Let it shine on all night long
Shine on, shine on sun
Let it shine on all night long
8. Living And Dying
In the dirty old city
There is my home
There's my home, there's my home
There is my home
Nothing really looks pretty
And I've been alone
I've been alone, I've been alone
I've been alone
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
In the house of darkness
There's a magic stone
Magic stone, magic stone
The magic stone
But I couldn't find it
'Cause the shine is gone
Shine is gone, shine is gone
The shine is gone
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
Living and dying
Living and dying
9. Virgin Killer
Cry like you feel,
Try like you feel, feel it ...!
Try to escape,
Cry to escape, escape it ...!
It's so hard to run away
He's a virgin killer ...
No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!
Death on the screen,
Sadistic magazines, watch out
Suicides ev'ryday,
Political ways, get it
Well, you can't find new ways ...
But he's a virgin killer ...
No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!
Garbage in the streams,
A-bombs in your dreams, look out
Sharks in the pictures,
Exorcist prescriptions, forget it
Try to get away from that,
Cos he's a virgin killer ...
No, no, no, can't you see?
No, no, no, can't you see?
You're a demon's, you're a demon's,
You're a demon's desire!
10. Top Of The Bill
You're a rock-n-roll star
You're out of the charts
Your glory's cold you're getting old
But your life is rock-n-roll
Your crazy rock-n-roll band
Is spinning in your head (in your head)
Each generation makes us stars
As the first five on the charts
Ohhh...and they are top of the bill
You're a rock-n-roll star
You've been the first one on the chart
You've had glory and fame
Rock-n-roll was your game
Ohhh...and you were top of the bill
11. Far Away
Take your hand and you take my hand
Let’s try to learn to fly
Here what I say, here what I say
Dream and close your eyes
Too much hate
Too much hate
So many things are wrong
So many ways, so many ways
Flying through the sky forever
Into another time
Yesterday so far away
Many miles together
Were looking for a way
Day by day
So far away
All the world
To do the same
So we go together
Will you show me the way
Time has gone
It has gone
Far away, far away
And today
I’ll see a way
Follow me we love you
Just listen, what I say
Forget your name and yesterday
Put out your hand
I’ll do the same
Now were going to another land
Will you show me the way
Time has gone
It has gone far away
Far away
12. Fly People Fly
And I see the tears in your eyes
The rain will fall tonight
And tonight we’ll go to the sky
Because and we fly
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly
And I see the smile on your face
When you look into space
He’s so bright and he is so great
Come on or it’s too late
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly
See the rainbow in the sun
The man will not go
And the world they have no fun
Hurry up people run
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly
All together
Fly to the sky
Fly to the rainbow
Fly people fly
Fly people fly
13. Sun In My Hand
Yeah, well I'd like to tell you something now
For men who shows you who's the furthest in the sky
How can you lose your mind
How can you waste your time
Hoping like that
Look at the sun inside
Of my hand so bright
I call it music
Now if you touch you'll see
The stars from infinity
Judge me forever
You and the touch of rain
Music will make you sane
Burn like you say 'em
How can you lose your mind
How can you waste your time
Hoping like that
Look at the sun inside
Of my hand so bright
I call it music
14. Catch Your Train
Wake up man it's late but not too late,
It's six o'clock like everyday!
Get your things run and forget the rain,
Take powerpills don't miss your train!
And you'd like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the Rock'n'Roller
A different life and Whisky Cola
But don't be low keep your own style
And catch your train!
Don't be lazy man and work off your ass,
He's the boss you've gotta do what he says!
Catch your train, run and forget those ways,
Keep it cool it's not too late!
And you'd like to be another
A different guy and a better lover
For your love, for your life check your way.
And you like the Rock'n'Roller
A different life and Whisky Cola
But don't be low keep your own style
And catch your train!
15. Crying Days
Force yourself to use your brain,
The only way to gain,
A lot of things are just a lie.
This world we love comes down in pain
With hate and bloody games
A question-mark up in the sky.
Look, you can't keep away
And you can't hide
Tomorrow, yesterday, today ...
Some people say, we'll do it better
Some people say, everything's good
Some people sing, let's come together
But nobody has ever brought it through
Maybe you and me ...
16. Yellow Raven
The yellow raven sipped the air
Of thunder and of rain ...
The yellow raven sipped the air
Gentle eyes kissing the rain ...
Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Take me away to somewhere
Take me away from here!
Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here!
The firebird began to cry
When the music died away ...
The firebird began to cry
And smoke was slowly drifting by ...
Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Take me away to somewhere
Take me away from here!
Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?
Answer to my yearning
Take me away from here ...
