Teenage Europe

in oceans of despair
we've drowned ourselves and stare
paralyzed into headlights
there's no one to address
with voices muted in excess
alive without a life
why be an idealist
when there's no right or wrong
we'll choke on the world
in paris and in rome
they tell us would you please stay home
well, pragmatism rules
embracing what is left
unable to revolt instead
well, pragmatism rules
but... why be an idealist
when there's no right or wrong
we'll choke on the world
we'll smoke the ashes of our world
inhale the ashes of our world
and choke on the world

Beirut

when we met on the rooftops
the sun was falling into the sea
and she said: it might never rise again
let's take the chance and dance
would you give your life for just one night
would you give it a try
would you dare, she said
we had sex on the rooftops
the fires were lighting her back
and we left the world in an ever
an everlasting kiss
would you give your life for just one night
would you give it a try
would you dare
would you dare
would you dare, she said
would you give your life for just one night
would you give it a try
would you give your life for just one night
kissing all fears away
would you dare
would you dare
would you dare
would you dare

Melancholia
03:32
|

if you're true to yourself
it will last
it will last
file away your vague voodoo
it will last for you, yeah
and there's company
on all your ways
listen up
don't stray away
i can not bear
to see you there
in melancholia
you hit the roads and leave me once again
you love the undertows
but i can't see that this will lead anywhere
you make me come and go
if you're lost in yourself
it won't last
it won't last
the fear and gloom
your love affairs
i will not blame on you
you hit the roads and leave me once again
butm we'll make it happen someday
then i will let you in
forever
the end of every(thing)
i wish i could let you lick and moan and vanish tease and please and
follow churn and burn your lipstick bleed and feed and swallow rip
and use abuse and shake and break the truth and be with me

The Chosen One
03:34
|
|||
poor fool
now you're sleeping all alone
in your palace of wire and of gold
you don't know
why your people admire you no more
and you spit on your floor
do you still think
that you were always meant to be
the chosen one
the chosen one
run off
run off
run off
run off
do you hear
a million voices shout your name
what was once your rise
will be your fall
yeah, you fear
the revolution you once led
will come back and turn against you
do you still think
that you were always meant to be
the chosen one
the chosen one
run off
run off
run off
run off

white horses on the run in pain and fright
will carry me away
on black beaches they are shying at the light

but i'm unborn i can not breath
i'm unborn i have no fear
for i am, i'm unborn and i won't be

lemonade
my hope and my self-betrayal
i love your dance in the rain
live on my lady lemonade
with fake balloons we played
a wasp got lost on your lips
my lady lemonade

with fake balloons we played
a wasp got lost on your lips
my lady lemonade
you put trust in a razor blade
and wrote "We'll soon reunite"
you put trust in a razor blade
wrote in pink "we'll soon reunite"
and there you go alone

Das Kind und der See
03:59
|
|||
seas are symphonies
in times when life can't figure out itself
sinking and rising again
you hold your breath until you drown, yeah
and drown, yeah
lift you up, push you down
tender and forgiving
turn you around
hold your breath and drown, yeah
lift you up, push you down
and nothing else will cheer you up
hold your breath and drown, yeah
and drown, yeah
es war einmal ein kind
das sich ertränken wollte
nahm reißaus von zuhaus'
verlor sich dann ins holz
der see lag glitzernd und verführerisch im licht
endlich kam das kind an
erhitzt und aufgeregt
und wer könnt' widerstehen
wer könnt' jetzt zurück
für immer hier sich kühl'n
für immer sich verlier'n
da sah es den eig'nen fuss
im wasser untergeh'n
das kühlte und so nahm es
das wasser in sich auf

The Deep
02:50
|
|||
it's just the rising sun
it won't warm me up, my friend
all the rays up there
will touch the surface but won't reach the deep
take me up, take me up
take me up, take me up
from the deep
take me up, take me up
take me up, take me up
from the deep cold sea
my hands are rising up
but i should stop fighting
it makes no sense
do you hear the whale's requiem
it makes me fall asleep
and there’s no waking up
oh please,
take me up, take me up
take me up, take me up
from the deep
take me up, take me up
take me up, take me up
from the deep cold sea
