Nasty 04:05
I feel this way You feel the same She’s nasty too Since she came in And took her place She’s nasty too You want her to Recall your name She’s got to prove You want her to Reflect your taste She’s nasty too Knows how to rule Running down Running down Through your veins Why don’t you come here and tell her She’ll be on her own Why don’t you come here And tell her She’s done nothing wrong She’s not that wrong And then she’s back into the game She’ll play the fool Her part is set in the backyard It’s so damn cool You want her to lean back You want her to crawl out Since she cannot play by your side She’ll blow your crown Her nasty plan Running down Running down Through your veins Why don’t you come here and tell her She’ll be on her own Why don’t you come here And tell her She’s done nothing wrong She’s not that wrong She’s running down Running down through your veins She’s running out Out of passion for pain She’s running out And I want you to know She knows that she wants you to go

Brother 03:08
I don’t know Which way to go But I’ll Follow you to the end of the line Brother let me in, will you I’ve been dazzled too By this infinite field of ruins So let me in Brother let me in, will you For my Generation’s walking And my Generation’s wandering youth Generation stumblin’ And I’ll Never be that lost ‘Cause I found you I’ve been told That there’ll be gold And this Harvest is Abundant and shiny Brother share it all with me I’ve been tempted by This deafening rallying cry “Let it begin!” Let me in Brother share it all with me For my Generation’s walking And my Generation’s wandering youth Generation stumblin’ And I’ll Never be that lost ‘Cause I found you There’s ruins everywhere I see ruins everywhere I’ve been walking for a while And I think I can see a sign Of redemption Or is it rather Disruption You guess Brother let me in Brother let me in Brother let me in Brother let me in Let me in Let me in Let me in For my Generation’s walking And my Generation’s wandering youth Generation stumblin’ And I’ll Never be that lost ‘Cause I found you

Landscapes 02:56
My dear Show me your landscapes Show me your tight lips I took for granted Yeah I’ll be A part of this dream Again And my whole life is Gallants and rantings Yeah I’ll be yours And I keep coming to A standstill And I still run And I run Back to You And I run And I run Back to You My dear Show me your fine taste Show me your dry tears I’ll never waste them Yeah I need Fearless confessions Yet You give me more Than that Diamonds and silken beds Yeah I’ll be yours and I keep Calling you A standstill And I still run And I run Back to You And I run And I run Back to You Please believe me When I’m With you I’m dreaming And I’m Still committed And I Still rely on you And I run And I run Back to You And I run And I run Back to You And I run And I run back Run back To you

Tracey 03:52
Tracey, traces, traces by the sea There’s an old man Howling Getting hold of me Getting hold of me Tracey Dear, come back There is nothing here to see Uh Tracey, baby, come back home There’s the garden There’s the kids Uh Tracey is tracing Her own path by the sea Tracey Can be no wife Tracey Has seen the light Tracey Can be no wife Tracey Has seen the lighthouse Blinking lighthouse Take me to Belleville She whispers Softly As the wave’s coming Tracey Can be no wife Tracey Has seen the light Tracey Can be no wife Tracey Has seen the light Tracey, baby Come back honey You can see The wind’s gonna sink you Tracey’s shoes are Lying on the beach

Touch Me 03:38
Touch me I wanna Feel your hand now I wanna Be your place now I wanna live Forever And relive When you’re near Say how you want it To be And when you hold me Dear Nothing’s sore It’s not yours To bleed It’s not yours To relieve me It’s not yours I beseech you to Always recall me This way Kiss me Until you’re Pleased and dazed Now Until you voice your lust loud Until your fear Forever Disappears Say you’re strong Think how you want it To go on We’ll leave nothing But hope Lovers’ bond It’s not yours To bleed It’s not yours To relieve me It’s not yours I beseech you to Always recall me This way God in your head You want it all God in your head You want it all God in your head You want it all He wants me on my knees again You gotta Since my hands are tied You gotta want it all Since my hands are tied You gotta want it all Since my hands are tied You gotta want it all You mean it you mean it you mean it all over Again

If I ever told you That I left my sins Behind Have I ever sent you a message Explicitly Calling for loving If I ever told you Your ambitions were too Shy Have I ever driven you Out of your mind Being bad Well I should have Sibylle I’ve spent Half of my life In line Hoping for luck That never came On time If I ever told you I chose to walk Two steps aside Have I ever showed you The golden gate I opened up with my bare hands Sibylle I’ve spent Half of my life In line Hoping for luck That never came On time Sibylle I’ve spent Half of my life Gathering pictures Please know That I have higher expectations
