something is wrong in my friendly neighborhood something is wrong must be something that's not good there were strange lights and the voices in the night and from that night something something isn't right a good friend of mine who used to play guitar in band is now someone whom I just can't understand he's working now for some occult company he's wearing a tie now and a made-to-measure suit what'll happen next? will he try to eat my brain? I have to expect it cause he's probably insane a wooden stack or silver bullet in his head? each way it would be (a) mercy cause he is already dead people I knew who were as fine as you and i greeting me now with empty words and empty eyes talking about the deadly boring mindless stuff or just standing there like waiting for some orders from above tu-tududu-tututu-tududu I know some night they'll come to me and 'll try to get me too tu-tududu-tututu-tududu I'm searching for solutions but I really don't know what to do I'm seeing these creatures around me resembling the humans they used to be emotionless, without their own goals like robots under aliens control

clamant clang, they're running hu-hu-hu hounds of love they're running hu-hu-hu day and night they're running hu-hu-hu tireless they're running hu-hu-hu they've got your scent and they'll follow you give them an inch and they'll take an ell of you you shouldn't play with them, they will see it through you should beware of them, it's best thing you'd do oh can't you see the great hunger in their big eyes hungry for love they're chasing their fleeing prize oh can't you see how sharp are their big big teeth and their big ears, they can hear you heavily breathe but they are running and running for very long with the pitch black despair that is running along they'll never satisfy that great hunger they bear feeding on nothing more than just scare and fears running running wild always misunderstood maybe you are the one who can tame them for good are you the one who's brave and can stand their glare are you the one who can see that love cause it's there hounds of love my hounds of love give them warm-hearted smile and they'll follow you give them a bit of love maybe that will do maybe they'll lie and cuddle right on your side watch fondly over you with their eyes open wide

girl, you are dynamite and maybe it's the way to my heart girl, you are dynamite one look from you and I'm falling apart all the other girls that are sitting shyly they don't have your eyes that look so slyly I know you're up to no good but I would take this risk of course I would cause girl, you are dynamite you're firework of pure energie girl, you are dynamite you are the one who's fitting to me the other girls are waiting for a prince to save them but it could become a problem cause all the princes yearn for you and whine about the cruel things you do girl, you are burning sun but kind of I can't take my eyes off girl, you are burning sun this shine of which I can't get enough so you are shining hot and free but it's not to much for me you can't boil away my blood, you'll see cause I'm as deep as deepest sea girl, you are dynamite you blast away my melancholy girl, you are dynamite and you remind me how I should be for so long I watched from the side but now I found in you my guide you're the melody and I'm the chords and together we will rule the world girl, you are dynamite and maybe it's the way to my heart ...

Into the sun 02:51
to the sun ride further into the sun chasing after a mirage we ride into the sun the air is trembling at horizon over sandy hills the desert sun is rising thirst for life as the thirst for water and with every step the air is getting hotter there's no shadow to be in hiding sun is burning light is blinding there's no sweat left on our skin went red crazy thoughts are flaring up in my exploding head is there still a chance that we can survive? is there still a chance that we can stay alive? we see the mirages where our wishes thrive but they dissapear each time when we arrive na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na na-na-na

Hard times 02:58
the small birds are fleeing to the south they know that the winter brings the cold these hard times you say they're not for love the feelings alone are not enough but you can trust me how I feel see it in my eyes now and these words are just for you read them from my lips now you're the only on my mind see it in my eyes now an arrow went straight through my heart can you see it's bleeding now the flowers are deep below the snow the ice wind sings the only song he knows this longing it's growing from inside I want you with every part of mine and you can trust me how I feel see it in my eyes now and these words are just for you read them from my lips now you're the only on my mind see it in my eyes now there's my blood to warm your soul can you see it's freezing now

I'm young 04:16
I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young and made of anger and thorns my voice is built of screams and thorns if you want pretty sight, look the other way if you want silence, better cover your ears if you like sweet things, you will not like this taste if you need your harmony, run to your happy place cause I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young (I'm young) and all I'm up to is wrong give up cause we will not get along if you search for peace, you'll find violence if you call for sanity, watch for emotional storm if you look for patience, you'll find frustration and if you want calm words, you'll not get what you want cause I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young (I'm young) and all I'm up to is wrong I'm young and there's no place I belong teacher, teacher, what's this lesson about? master, master, I can't master your art doctor, doctor, what's this sickness i've got? brothers, sisters, I'm to wild for this world and I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young (I'm young) and all I'm up to is wrong you say that I don't care but my will is strong if you look at me you will understand that I'm not a reflection of you if you hear me you will understand that your preaching is wasted on me cause I'm young and made of anger and thorns I'm young and made of anger and thorns my rage burns from the day I was born but my life is not for your judgement and scorn

I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure and I see someone laughing in the mirror his eyes are cold like stone and suddenly his face is disappeared but laughing still goes on and I see a wolf who's sitting on a hill and howling to the moon the sun comes up, the wolf he's went away but howling isn't gone I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure sometimes life is to hard to keep your mind sometimes life is to hard to keep your mind sometimes its just to hard to keep your mind sometimes life is to hard to keep your mind but I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure I am shining under pressure so I will shine, I will shine like a diamond I will shine I will shine, I will shine shine this little light of mine I will shine, I will shine like a diamond I will shine I will shine, I will shine and my shine will make you blind

Endless sky 04:44
now I'm lying on a grass field on a sunny sommer day wanna get rid of my worries and to dream myself away and I'm looking up above me and I really don't know why don't know why I never noticed and I see for the first time blue, clear blue sky blue, clear blue sky blue endless sky blue endless sky endless sky I was soldier in a battle where a wandering bullet flew and it hit me in my bowel so that instantly I knew that today might be the last day which I'm living on this earth but I'm thankfull that this last view gives this moment such a worth blue, clear blue sky ... and I guess that in tomorrow I will not see it again and I feel a bit of sorrow that I lost my life in vain but who knows what fate will bring us maybe it's not over yet maybe this wonderfull blue sky is the place to which i'll get blue endless sky ...

Slow ride 03:32
yes, every man has his own way some are the big streets, some the highways I'm driving slow, but I feel okay cause I enjoy the sights on the sideways some men rise fast and fall harder some are icemen, some firestarters but I prefer the warmth of the human hearts cause rock and blues is what I care for what I care for some like the things that are pretty they want it all - that's pretty greedy I never said that I'm the one who's free from blame but I try my best to do things my way this restless world is a battle I'm not afraid of weapons rattle but I keep my cool and choose my own fights cause rock and blues is what i'd fight for what I'd fight for some waters're deep as they are old some fresh and wild, young and so bold my soul feels old but my heart is young one part's the blues, rock's the other some men deny being animal and some don't know what a brain's for I'm just a man and take the middle path made out of flesh and I have soul yes, we have soul the life has a hard beating rythm with the lyrics sparse or unwritten but I don't mind if it still has some soul cause rock and blues is what I live for sometimes we're sad, sometimes happy like men the moods have their own ways so let us ride along the paths of life enjoy our time and meet someday lets meet someday
