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
