PINK BUBBLES GO APE (M&L - Kiske)



Some people are much too smart
They know everything before it stars

Eating winsdom with the pail
No wonder when it sticks

Cry and tell, and slander, yell 
and grumble well
So loud for heanen's sake

Pink bubbles go ape

KIDS OF THE CENTURY (M&L - Kiske)


We poison our hearts
We poison our seas
We burn down the paradise

We're stoppin'good waves
We're losin'our trees
The future looks bright ahead
I don't wonder we'll go under
In this river of lies

We're lost in this time
We create so fine
The future we already fear
Seems like no way out
Seems like there's no doubt
The future looks bright ahead

We're teh kids of the century
We're lost in our games
No time for the memories
We look in the haze
We're the kids of the century
It wans't our fault
Ev'ry thing's done num, we fall
Let's keep on crying 
But sometimes I don't wanna fall

Ev'rytime when you look around
things will smile at you
Ev'rytime when you turn around
you smell the truth
But you rum away
From the lies you can't say
Don't run away
From the lies you can't say

We're teh kids of the century
We're lost in our games
No time for the memories
We look in the haze
We're the kids of the century
It wans't our fault
Ev'ry thing's done num, we fall
Let's keep on crying 
But sometimes I don't wanna fall

BACK ON THE STREETS (M - Grapow. L - Kiske)


I've been told in the name of something
I've got to know
what it means to play the game

Too many faces around they're talking
They play their parts oh, so well
But who's to blame

Back on the steets
That's where we are
Building a fortress of power
Yeah! We're coming

You know better than me
the rules are
Getting better of fat in the mania

It's good to know who is who
in our game
The speed is faster
It's harder to see where we are

Back on the steets
That's where we are
Building a fortress of power
Yeah! We're coming

Please Mister Knowhow just bring me the news
I'm waiting so long
For you telling all you can tell

There's one thing about you
You're dying to prove
The master plan is your
and living with knowledge is hell

Back on the steets
That's where we are
Building a fortress of power
Yeah! We're coming

NUMBER ONE (M&L - Weikath)


Each time when one more year was over
You refused to hear heaven's bell sounds
And the hapiness in your heart's been set lower
You're searching for friends
But no one seemed to be 'round

You merely should think of the good times
'Cos there are so many ways you can go
Take a look at yourself
You're still very young
And big aims always take very long

Now it's time for hapiness
Stay hard and trust your fate
Don't forget you're something else
You'll never be to late
Trust your father's mighty spell
You'll never be alone
Fate will always turn out well
And you'll be number one

Shout at the world don't care what they say
'Cos your life is now, here and today
Luck is there, ev'rywhere
Go on reap it's goods, that's the way
You wanna have truth relief from your pain
But life takes its tool again and again
Don't fear the night
Your future is pay
And the tracks to your aims are laid

Now it's time for hapiness
Stay hard and trust your fate
Don't forget you're something else
You'll never be to late
Trust your father's mighty spell
You'll never be alone
Fate will always turn out well
And you'll be number one

Now it's time for hapiness
Don't forget you're something else
Trust your father's mighty spell
Fate will always turn out well

HEAVY METAL HAMSTERS (M&L - Weikath)


there are some fellows s
oft and mellow
Sitting in a field and play like hell
No one knows the way it goes
But all the songs they play 
they sound so well

Tonight we got to see the
 Heavy Metal Hamsters
It must feel nice to be a Heavy Metal Hamster
Nothing sets you free like our
Heavy Metal Hamsters

A 20th century Fox came by
A gold tripped cigarette high  in his jaws
Contracts, PD's nosebags, TV shows
And everything with no remorse

Things are settled now for our 
Heavy Metal Hamsters
Fame up to your browns, oh
 Heavy Metal Hamsters
A previously unknown lifestyle 
Heavy Metal Hamsters

The sweet taste of sucess is strong
And everything inside  goes wrong you see
With coloured furs, sunglasses
Tons of nuts to eat they don't feel free

What is wrong with our 
Heavy Metal Hamsters
Look what they have done our 
Heavy Metal Hamsters
Where is the field to run for our 
Heavy Metal Hamsters
Some things are left undone for our 
Heavy Metal Hamsters

GOIN´ HOME (M&L - Kiske)


You think I could be the one
to look inside your mind
I think we'll have the time, so let us get in line

another town another bed, another thimg to go
But now I learned to take it cool, 
but I don't wanna know

My head is empty, all the stories 
that I've know I've told
The situation I scape from, 
now it looks like gold

'Cause after this I'm gone, 
the show is done
No other town or bed that lies again
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you

By the time that you think 
'bout it twice
No spotlight makes you stay
By the time that you think y
ou don't know
You have to go

The plane is ready in my head, 
so many things to do
A few more hours till it's over
I reach out for you

A kind of peace inside s growing, 
thinking 'bout the shows
Until the next time I'll be so much better 
yes I know

Now this is it I'm gone, 
the show is done
No other town or bed that lies again
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you

SOMEONE´S CRYING (M&L - Grapow)


What keeps on telling me
To stay on the way I coose
What keeps on giving me
All the streight to carry on

Give me some time, 
can't sleep anymore at night
I wanna show I'm here with
An aim of mine

I feel strong
But someone's crying I know
It's so hard to find
A sign of a way to go

Don't need to stone my brain
I need my hesd for something else
I wanna live and learn
Step by step I'm going on

Send me a sign
Don't wanna resign too soon
What situation will come
I can't endure

I feel strong
But someone's crying I know
It's so hard to find
A sign of a way to go

MANKIND (M - Weikath, L - Kiske)


Here is all mankind 
so proud of their achievements
There is a stone
That is warmer than you

Look how we stan
 in the stream of illusuons
No one says a word

Here you laught
And there you cry
All that makes you move

There's no tear for anything
Anything but you

Animals dyimg for our vanity
Our world is
A beautifull place to be free

Drinking the blood 
Of the weak is so easy
No one hears them cry

Here you cheat
And there you lie
All that makes you gain

One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say

Prosperity, luxury
Fast food is rising
Is the rainforest that dies

Here you laught
And there you cry
All that makes you move

There's no tear for anything
Anything but you

Here you cheat
And there you lie
All that makes you gain

One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say

I´M DOING FINE CRAZY MAN (M - Grosskopf, L - Kiske)


Thunder, flash and lightning
Is working on my back
The tables in the kitchen
Are tryin' to break my neck

All the late night memories
Are learning im my shoes
My mother's old grey
leather gloves are singing loud the blues

I can taste what's in the sun
No time to waste 'cause there is none
When I feel blue I see it shine
But still it's true I'm doin' fine

You can't see me 
'Cause now I'm all free
Now you know I'm through
An all that's not new

Sitting on a paperback 
'Cause I don't know what really crecks
I'm trying to climb my pencil
to get him high

No one tells me what to do
'Cause ano one knows what I've been through
You don't know a thing
But you can learn

It's time to touch the sky
My mind is free I fly

I can taste what's in the sun
No time to waste 'cause there is none
When I feel blue I see it shine
But still it's true I'm doin' fine

You can't see me 
'Cause now I'm all free
Now you know I'm through
An all that's not new

THE CHANCE (M&L - Grapow)


We're living in a constant fight
Too much pressure everywhere
And all around

Don't let it put you down
Hold on tight
Climb to your dreams

Don't you depend on someone else
Think for yourself and win the race

The chance you got
Comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right

Time will come
But you don't hide
You are on your way

You're let by God
But you're not a pawn
Should live your life
Don't care 'bout any scorn

Try to be as smart as you can be
I know you own so much ability

The chance you got
Comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right

Time will come
But you don't hide
You are on your way

YOUR TURN (M&L - Kiske)


Now there is this day
A lot of things are changing
Can't just kick it away,
Got to get things right

Sometimes it happens fast
But nothing seems to last
The thing that I once started 
Isn't mine anymore
I gess now is my turn

You've got a face like a child
Got a mind like a woman
Your smile is warm and tender

I hear the people say 
That I should stay away
From you and all
The problems you might bring
They'll never know - you

Nobody ever knows what to do
They'll never see you cry
They'll never know why

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life
You've got to see what it means

See the little boy
Holding mama's hand
His eyes can see the thing
We've long forgotten

The world is easy now - and somehow
He's right until there is this day
When Mickey Mouse must go away

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life
You've got to see what it means

This world is crying to be free
This world is dying can't you see
We need a turn to do it right
We need a mind revolution
To get away from this selfisness
Stop playing blind - break free

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life
You've got to see what it means

SHIT AND LOBSTER* (M&L - Grosskopf)


OOnce there was a time when mankind
Dreamed about reading the stars
Nowadays we're almost ready
Even for the wars

Some told lies and they were famous
Cause of making many wars
One told right, they were punished
With pain and crucify

What is right and what is wrong
Can I prevent, can I be strong
Quick enough to run away
Or brave enough for here to stay

Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We don't give a damn at all

Some get shit and some get lobster
Take my ass into the sun
It takes some time to realize
We cannot eat a gun

The fat get fatter, the poor stay poor
The money maker sells the skin
But you don't ask and you don't see
The world you're living in

Got my fears and got my doubts
Tell me what it's all about
Should I try a step
Or should I stay and wait another day

Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We don't give a damn at all
