With Used Furniture we Make a Tree

 With used furniture we can make a tree

 With old clothes we dress a family

 With broken stones we built a city

 With used furniture we make a tree

 Without a recipe

 Without anything

 Without ringtone belly button dance valley soap star dj cannibal vj

 Without MTV TMF LPF Mr. P misery marketing anything freezing eskimo disco

 Kokoloko lots of snow I don't know go no go buffallo gicolo

 With used furniture we make a tree

 Chicanery

 Do you know that sometimes

 Some things are growing slow

 With used furniture we make a tree

 Chop chop chop chop

 Jump jump jump jump

 We are jumping into the sea of love

 A remedy

 Without America

 Without money


Aquarium

 I was walking through the Palace of Mirrors

 In the city of Luzern

 I was looking at my own face

 A 1000 times turning with every turn

 The eyes of my child like a school of fishes

 In the aquarium

 Were looking at me from another world

 From a world to come

 She said "Bring me the light

 That was shining on the tree outside

 Bring me the rain that was falling

 On my shoulders on a summer night"

 I thought nobody died, but it's not true

 We die and there's no escape

 Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

 I was walking through the empty rooms

 Of the house we'd left behind

 I heard the voice of my child going up

 The stairs in the pale moonlight

 There were words like raindrops

 Words like snowflakes falling down

 Falling down from another world

 A world to come

 She said "Bring me the song that was

 In my head when I fell asleep

 Bring me the love that came

 And left me like an empty train"

 I thought love never died

 But it died and there's no escape

 Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

 I remember the aquarium in Artis

 With the angry big fish

 The glass is like a mirror

 We could see our faces making funny faces

 It seems that our eyes were looking at us

 From another world

 Bring me the summer

 That I thought would never end

 Bring me the snow

 That was falling in my open hand

 I thought life never ends

 But it ends and there's no escape

 Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

 She said "Bring me the head

 That was resting on my shoulder

 Bring me the heart that I left behind"

 I thought nobody died, but it's not true

 We die and there's no escape

 Let us rewind our lives like a videotape

 Play back in slow motion


Chain of Ifs

 If someone dead suddenly lives

 Would I take him by the hand

 And show the world just like it is

 I don't think he understands

 How to love and hurt and live

 He'll see the endless chain of ifs

 If I'm walking through the left door

 Instead of walking through the right

 If I take a little more

 Would it be wrong or right

 There are too many choices

 I see the endless chain of ifs and whens

 All my thoughts and all my worries

 They keep escaping through the hole in my head

 To love and hurt and fall

 I see this endless wall

 I can feel this endless chain in my hand

 To love and hurt can be the reason to be alive

 Someone died with the words

 And it hurts

 If I took a different train

 Would you have been on it

 Would my life have been the same


Between the Buttons

 Between the buttons there's

 A name inside her shirt

 The silk lining with a hole

 That sometimes hurt

 So I forget that I was

 Waiting for so long for him

 My secret life

 She turns her face

 To the mirror on the wall

 Sometimes in dreams

 His face is just a hole

 So I forget and

 I feel incomplete

 I leave behind

 My secret life

 Once it was summer

 When she left

 A note on the table

 A photograph

 So I forget that I was

 Waiting for her so long

 My secret life

 And when she walks away

 Her high heels

 Click like a sad valise

 So I forget and

 I feel incomplete

 I fall apart

 My secret life


Doppelganger

 Some people look like each other

 Some people have a little brother

 I can be

 I can be you now

 Some people have each other

 Some paint pictures of their mother

 I can be

 I can be her now

 Some people are made for each other

 Some people even like each other

 I can be

 I can be you now

 Some people have a doppelganger

 Some people make a copy of each other

 I can be

 I can be you now


Canigo

 Canigo into the heartbeat

 Into the river of dreams

 Canigo

 Into the same days

 Into the heart

 Into the river of dreams

 Canigo

 Into the wild wood

 Into the changing mood

 Into the waste bin

 (the way it has been)

 Canigo

 Into the fish-eye

 Into the blue sky

 Canigo

 Into the days like

 Into the days like this

 Into the waste land

 Into the river of sands


Welcome Back

 Welcome back

 I can hear you friends

 Are so glad, up in heaven

 Welcome back

 There's a party going on at

 Cloud Eleven

 Welcome back

 Let's pretend we're still together

 Till it's daytime

 Welcome back

 When the morning comes

 You'll melt away in sunshine

 I hide my tears behind this tune

 Still talking to your echoes

 In this room

 Not one of us had ever guessed

 We'd fade away so soon

 Welcome back

 Let's forget the words we had

 Or left unspoken

 Welcome back

 There's no sense in me denying

 My heart is broken

 Welcome back

 Please forgive me

 I take the privilege to cry

 Welcome back

 May our love stand out forever

 This is goodbye

 I take the privilege to cry cause

 This is goodbye


Eifersucht

 Sometimes the darkness

 Sometimes there's light

 Sometimes I worry

 In the middle of the night

 Sometimes it's bitter

 Sometimes it's sweet

 Sometimes it's snowing

 Sometimes a street

 Sometimes a kitchen

 Sometimes it's april

 Sometimes I cannot

 Sometimes I will

 Sometimes it's raining

 Sometimes I dream

 Sometimes she's pretty

 Sometimes a machine

 Sometimes I left

 Sometimes an eye

 Sometimes the buttons

 Sometimes the blue sky

 Sometimes die Stimme

 Sometimes Eifersucht

 Sometimes I'm back

 Sometimes in a book

 Sometimes it's hard

 Sometimes a chair

 Sometimes a table

 Sometimes she's there

 Sometimes umbrella

 Sometimes the sky

 Sometimes we're walking

 Sometimes in an eye

 Sometimes it's bitter

 Sometimes it's sweet

 Sometimes it's snowing

 Sometimes in the street


Savoy

 (a day in the life of Mr. Ho and Rabbit Ho)

 I turn my head to the wall

 I see something small and innocent

 Silently he walks in

 Do you know

 I am Rabbit Ho

 I can smell it

 I can eat it

 Savoy

 I push my head thru the wall

 Something frightens me

 It's big and tall

 I can see him

 I can smell him

 Mr. Ho

 Sniff

 I can see things

 I can feel things

 I can touch things

 I can smell things

 I can taste things

 Savoy

 And I walk away

 There was a green thing

 From the flowershop `Madonna'

 Waiting for me

 In the dressing room of the

 `Savoy'


Espresso Girl

 She's walking in my dreams

 I'm walking in your dreams

 I found her again

 Unter den Bogen in Bern

 With a little black camera

 A `Du' in her hand

 All I could see was

 The bend of her knee

 The Espresso Girl

 She's talking to me

 On the highway from Fulda

 Through the december snow

 To the Batschkapp in Frankfurt

 After the show

 The painter from Poland

 The vicar in black

 The name on my jeans

 The Espresso Girl

 Is walking in my dreams

 The year I was following the Cure

 Words were insects around my head

 Everything was electric and pure

 I went to see Mr. Smith

 The red mouth saying

 Japanese words like candy

 To the bathroom mirrors

 The Espresso Girl

 Is walking through my head

 As we walk unter den Bogen

 We walk through the years

 With shadow and light

 The happiness and the fears

 The shop with the big blue tapestry

 It has been hanging there all those years

 With two small figures facing each other

 Little blue flower in a button hole

 Forget me not forget me not forget me not

 Always cooking up

 Always looking for

 My face in the mirror of Hotel Krafft

 Behind me the boats on the Rhine in Bâle

 Almost standing still against the stream

 Like the boat in the painting on the wall

 The Espresso Girl

 Is swimming around my head

 Always looking up

 Always looking for

 Get me not

 Forget me not forget me not


Rumspringa

 I am

 You are

 Rumspringa

 What am I doing out here

 Lift me I'm feather-weight

 Why is my head full of fear

 Naked in silence

 I think I once was

 I am

 You are

 Rumspringa

 Why has my soul disappeared

 Bring me a bible

 Why is my head full of fear

 Naked in silence

 How did I disappear

 What am I doing here

 I think it's getting late

 I think we'd better wait


Athens

 It's running through my veins

 I'm in Athens and it rains

 It's tapping at this window

 I'm in Athens and it rains

 There is a cloud in my eyes

 On this late afternoon

 It flies through the sky

 It will be ammonia soon

 Every time I turn a corner

 I smell an aroma so sweet

 In a coma my feet stop walking

 It cannot disappear

 I'm laughing through the tears

 I'm laughing through the years

 It cannot disappear

 I'm in Athens and I'm here

 I will not disappear

 So keep the strange eye

 Keep the strange smell

 For yourself

 And no one else

 So keep the answer

 So I look at the lines in my hand

 See the future

 See the past

 It ends

 It cannot disappear

 I'm in Athens and I'm here

 It cannot disappear

 There are too many ruins here

 And I'm one of them

 I fear

 Somewhere a phone is ringing

 Somewhere someone is singing

 Trains and boats and planes

 I'm in Athens and it rains
