Too much time to get lost in the maze
Tell me, isn't that strange
You bleed to get there - you are ready
To be a bird in a golden cage
Sweat is breaking on my brow
Where's the freak to ease my pain
Room is dark and big and empty
Silence driving me insane
Night has fallen - demons laughing
I'm waiting for the light of day
Here's the land of milk and honey
There you got the price to pay
Searching for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the edge
And I drift away - killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay - little sacrifice
I set off to Heaven and found bedlam
There's a part of me that has not been sold
Save me please embrace me hold me
Kiss my bleeding soul
You can't see below the creature
That's pounding, sitting in my neck
If you'd see inside my head
You surely wouldn't turn your back on me
I'm looking for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the abyss
And I drift away - killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay - little sacrifice
I set off to Heaven and found bedlam
Nothing remains the same
But still I hear those voices
Nothing remains the same
Where am I gonna go is it my destination
Or just a sick temptation
And I remember home when demons came
And I got swept away from me
02. Rocket Ride - Lyrics:
I sought salvation but I found insanity
Lost in a mess I returned to profanity
I've been reaching for the sky
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete
Don't you run away now - Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - whoa
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle - Take a rocket ride
Suffered my way with divine aspiration
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion till I've clung to the pie
You never really miss it until you really try
Tried to jump but held down by concrete
The venery surrounding my feet
Don't you run away now - Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - whoa
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle - Take a rocket ride
Oh I've tried to reach higher
On and on but my flesh is too weak
Been searching for answers - I've been led to the fire
There must be a reason for us to be down here
Oh I'm drifting - temptation
Carried out to sea - I'm drifting - I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away - I'm drifting away
I'm a piledriver - piledriver...
I've been reaching for the sky
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete
Don't you run away now - Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - whoa
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle - Take a rocket ride
03. Wasted Time - Lyrics:
The dream is over - no one is to take the blame
We believed in roses but only thorns remained
And I look into the rear view mirror
We create and we destroy
Put our blood into a street with a dead end
Walk up that stairway to jump off into the black
Here we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?
Maybe I am different, maybe I'm a fool
And I wonder if it's worth it
Trying to find another you
And I look into the rear view mirror
Just to see how fucked I look
While I drive along that street with a dead end
Like a moth to the flame it's gonna suck me into pain
Still we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?
What are we heading for, why do I dare again?
Once bitten twice shy and still we never learn
So here I'm lying - A leisure-poet in pain
Involuntary loner, I know that life is just a game
Where nobody gets out alive - A sedative shot for me
No happy man gets out alive - Neither of us you will see
Here we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?
04. Matrix - Lyrics:
Into The matrix...
I see your face in a masquerade
I see your made up smile
When the show is over, then what is left behind?
It's in your eyes, it's in your head
How come they say opposites attract
When all you feel is a struggle deep inside
Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
I'm feeling pushed, from left to right
Is this the way it's meant to be?
Is my destiny crawling on my knees?
Now who is right? And who is wrong?
Who is the one that won't belong?
Who's for real and who's just pretending to be...
Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
No more lies, no more disguise
Into the matrix
No more lies, no disguise
I'm tracing the matrix
No more...
Lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
No more lies, no more disguise
Tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
Into the matrix
05. Return To The Tribe - Lyrics:
Road lies ahead
And a long road lies behind me
See lights passing by
And I know it's the time of their lives
A million miles, light years I've been traveling
To watch and enjoy this world
That I've seen as galore
Oh amusing over it all
Closing my eyes to remember it all
Embracing the past and the future to come
Kiss that road that leads me to my tribe
I've found my way home
I've returned to where I belong
Back to where I stand from
Back to paradise
Time to return to the tribe
The other side, always close to the edge
Been walking a thin line, always had someone watch my step
A mystery, to make it out alive and say
The battle is over, and I know who's been with me
Now amusing over it all
On top of this world I remember it all
Awaiting the sunrise and sunset (something)
Kiss the way that leads me to my tribe
Back to the tribe
I've found my way home
I've returned to where I belong
Back to where I stand from
Back to paradise
Time to return to the tribe
Back to the tribe
I've found my way home
I've returned to where I belong
Back to where I stand from
Back to paradise
Time to return to the tribe
06. The Asylum - Lyrics:
Crying in the still of the night
A yearning for shelter
Silence kissing your wounds
Soothing your pain
Darkness - and what do they know
'Bout losing direction clutch at a straw
Cherish the hope to make it finally home...
Home...Home...Home...Home! Yeah!
You long to be see-through
So nobody can tell
Whenever they made you
Bleed your pride away
Now you're driven by a one track mind
Initiating you
Splendid flowers
Blossom from the wounds
The stronger the poison
The sweeter smells the bloom
Don't you try to stand your ground
'Cause you're only coming home
To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
It's burning inside you
This emotional hell
And you keep on smiling
Upon the icy tiles
A stream of fire to sweep the fears away
Seems like forever
Too long you've had to wait
Plunge in darkness
For wicked harmony
Little angel thrown away
Sure'll be back another day
To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
Now see the cornered children
I see them off the beaten track
Embracing and crying
Freezing and dying
Concealed humiliation
Now let them dance
Liberation cruelty-free
Dance towards the gallows-tree
Bogyman was sought and found
Bogyman has found a home
In the heart of fire
He's found the asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
Fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
Heart of fire
You're home
Found the asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
07. Save Me - Lyrics:
Waiting for a little sign
Seems like to no avail
Strolling down the pavement aimlessly
She is praying for someone
To snatch her bag of memories
How come you call it destiny
When the cross you bear is
Your only company?
Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
On this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
On this windy road
Why is it all so confusing?
Why does growing up hurt so bad?
We seek and we get lost
We get found and go again
And I don't know what's gonna be
I won't make any promise but I believe
Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
On this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
On this windy road
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I should
I don't know what is right
And what's to come if you would
Here I stand in the rain
Here I stand in the cold
I'm reluctant to get another shot in my soul...
I'm afraid of that hole...
Save me, save me...
...Lonesome road...
08. Catch Of The Century - Lyrics:
You do not know, and you don't care
And you may never learn
I made approaches, you gave me teeth
And got my hope inurned
Unpreposessing, that's what you say
Don't get the essential point
What it came down to was - you ain't got nothing
Here's to the wicked and here's to the odd
You got your chance going down the drain, you're dumping
The catch of the century
You've had your chance, but you're much too vain to take it
The catch of the century
Nobody's waiting, cause all the world is
Already spoken for
A host of rivals, I'm out of vogue and
I'll be forever more
You strut around, sneer from on high
I'm on the road again
I'm going down with flying colors
Before I go down on somebody else
You got your chance going down the drain, you're dumping
The catch of the century
And lady luck's got her ass in pain, you're wasting
The catch of the century
You got your chance going down the drain, you're dumping
The catch of the century
You got your chance going down the drain
You got your chance going down the drain, you're dumping
The catch of the century
And lady luck's got her ass in pain, you're wasting
The catch of the century
You got your chance going down the drain, you're dumping
The catch of the century
And lady luck's got her ass in pain, you're wasting
The catch of the century
"I tell you, one day you will regret it
I will sell millions of records
And I'm gonna have hundreds of women
And seven, seven Ferraris!
A private jet!
Uh... A helicopter license!
And I'm gonna be the Formula One world champion!
I'm gonna have a big house! In Hollywood Hills?
And you will be nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
You will be nothing but nothing!
Waah! Yeah! You, nothing! Nothing you're nothing!
Helicopter!"
"Tobi, es ist gut jetzt"
"Gut?"
09. Out Of Vouge - Lyrics:
Jeer at him moving in slow-mo surrounded
By a spirit-entourage so odd-inviting sneer
You ride the spinning wheel that's getting faster
Outside they saw the passing centuries
Round and round merry go round
Round and round you go
Scream and shout - laugh aloud
It's so out of vogue
To lead a way outside the catalogue
You're in vogue and don't understand
It's so out of vogue
To contradict Your transient mistress of the world
How does it feel in your cage
Trapped in vogue
So don't you miss a thing in your carrousel
You feel so proud behind the steering wheel
The mind you sold waves at you from outside
And you feel happy as you kneel
Lady dark crack the whip - 300 pounds of lust
One shall get what you need...
It's so out of vogue
How do you do inside the catalogue
You're in vogue and don't miss a thing
It's so out of vogue
To contradict your transient mistress of the world
How does it feel in your cage
It's so out of vogue
To lead a way outside the catalogue
You're in vogue and don't understand
It's so out of vogue
To contradictour transient mistress of the world
It's so out of vogue
It's so out of vogue
To lead a way outside the catalogue
You're in vogue and don't understand
It's so out of vogue
To contradictour transient mistress of the world, Oh
10. Superheroes - Lyrics:
City lights are calling
Slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fastlane
Mama let us waste no time
Devil in the doorway
Selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game
We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong
Superheroes
Way too long I've tried to be
What I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me
I ain't talking 'bout romance
You may fiddle I may dance
Anyway it's just a game we play
We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong
You gotta move to stay alive
We're gonna rock the bash tonight
Cry for love - We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong
Payback time
11. Trinidad - Lyrics:
Let me tell you a story about an ugly woman I know...
"Hello girls!"
"Hello Tobi you hot little machine!"
I'm a sight for sore eyes
Oh, if your eyes would only see
I've been born on tiptoe
Still you looked like a lighthouse next to me
You pet-named me Napoleon
I was proud till I got the reason why, why...
Never aimed for confrontation
You've been sleeping when I kissed your ass goodbye
Oh, while you read this letter
I'd just gone to eat out
By the way
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Hope you're okay light years away
My what A heat wave in Trinidad
Hope you don't mind if I stay
Pitcher goes too often to the well
And now the pitcher's gone insane
Gotta run away, boiling over, getting hell
And found the answer on a plane
Oh, I've been pissing off
Before you might could have pissed me off.
I hope you're fine, yeah
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay, I do okay
My what A heatwave in Trinidad
Sunburnt a night flight away
"Honey you're looking good so far away from me
The weather is great, the beach is great, the food is great
Everything is great and you're so far away, I love you honey
Greetings from Trinidad, hey!
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay, I do okay
My what a heatwave in Trinidad
Sunburnt a night flight away
"Back and home in Germany I was a famous porn star, hahaha"
12. Fucking With Fire
(Hair Force One) - Lyrics:
I saw her coming in high-heels
Moving like a queen
A little sweet angel but deep underneath
A mean machine
You're lying in wait to make me a fool
You want me to bite
I'm gonna take the bait
And the hunter for afters
I'll take you for a ride
And I don't wanna play no games
'Cause I'm a bad, bad boy all around
Let me be your Titanic
Before you know what's going on
I may go down
Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked
You never miss it 'til you've begun
With the hair force one
Don't make no mistakes
Don't you miss out
On the hell of a time
I'm a real go-getter
And there's no doubt
That down the line
I know what you want
And I know what you need
Your secret desire
Got the gloves of a man
The hands of a beast
And my pants on fire
And I don't wanna play no games
'Cause I'm a nasty, bad boy
All around, around
Let me be your Titanic
Before you know what's going on
I'm going down. Now...
...Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked
You never miss it 'til you've begun with the hair force one
Honey you know what?
You know what I am...
...Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked
You never miss it 'til you've begun...
...Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked
You never miss it 'til you've begun with the hair force one
