We cannot take you We cannot believe you We cannot tease you We cannot praise you but we cannot leave you we cannot please you Looking for some fun on a Friday night Just carrying the pain of hanging around and…. Being afraid, being afraid Revving up the engines I will hit the town I’m following the manual for having fun Be afraid, be afraid Oh! be afraid, be afraid Looking for some fun in the night, just holding tight to another hand Looking for someone in the night to change this endless feeling of despite Don’t want to freeze, don’t want to get old Don’t want a bad dream, don’t want to get lost I’m on the rooftop ready to fall Looking for a rush before i get old. Looking for fun on a Friday night While you keep calling… keep calling… keep calling… keep calling… keep calling… keep calling… aaahhhhh !!! (Girl, you’re not a mystery, a mystery will come)

Perfect service The waitress is delicious but she’s looking sad I cannot escape from things like that Now or never If you really love me tell me something clever I can tell by your eyes when you lie Hold me tighter, I need to feel your warmth to keep my heart beating I will turn the lights on, are you feeling fine? Perfect service The waitress is delicious but she’s feeling lonely I can feel the distance in her smile Only on a special day, I can break the gap between our lies On a hopeless day, castaway I turn inside my mind Are you looking for a perfect service ???

This is how we stand To live our lives in peace We give ourselves with pleasure To new technologies New comedia Violent drama New dementia This is how we stand As we walk the city (when we are down) We are not alone (we can’t stop) Memories around us (carving up) The memories we’ve got (our own thougths) sometimes we’ll be down (I know) sometimes we’ll be back (you know) and sometimes we will fall (we will fall) Watch out, your smile gets thin A doubt grows in your crown A crab with shaky claws To grab the inner cup A cloud with smokey tail But there’s no fire to trace (I will hit the floor, watch the flowers where they grow) Are you trying to get some distance? Are you trying to get some distance? This is how we stand! I will take some more electricity I know, you know, we know, they know: We will fall! We will fall! We will fall!

Hello radio! Hello butter and toasts! Hello breaking news! Yellow morning lines! Everybody, give your body to the music When you give yourself it’s a brand-new day, Yeah!

It’s been a lonely time Of freaking cheers, Awakening sadness Days of lonesome gathering With beer through the air Knives up to the skies In endless battles of fears and dreams God, give us a chance! Since we left our community We stepped ahead of poverty Across the dangerous misty seas Beside the pain to welcome the glee Jumping below the naked skies Singing: God, give us a chance! Holy spirits in the skies Destiny is written down God believes in preservation Guess you have an invitation After years of preparation We’ve made a splendid demonstration Forgiving the boundaries of the nations Forgetting the traps in communication Naked below the empty skies Singing: God, give us a chance!

Boy! 06:40
I’m stuck inside a dream I wander around the streets And I get sick of the empty paintings on the bricks I’m taking lots of pills It seems I can’t face life another way now I’m boring everyone and myself I just hear: Boy! why’d you run away from me? Don’t you know?, boy!, we are living in this world like beasts Shine! boy! keep an eye on what you say Step by step, future’s imitating yesterday I’m missing all the words The dark night floods my soul Now I give in to the rough knife like a loaf I just hear: Boy! Why’d you run away from me? Don’t u know? we are living in a fantasy Shine! But keep an eye on what u take Day by day Culture is dictating what u say Boy! Boy! Boy! Boy! Boy! Boy! I’m living life with ease And thinking more and more that this is not a fantasy (Boy you’re breaking all you‘re making)

My old friend He is my old friend Coming to life again He is my old friend He left his job with tears to face the heater and the fears And now he’s turning ‘round his life to take it all back He drove a vulgar car Now the void weighs upon his mind Over the avenues he stands with a solemn stare. ‘Cause he is afraid of nothing, No, anyone can try To make it happen ‘Cause anything could last but it doesn’t matter My old friend He is my old friend....

I made myself into a common guy With normal friends, To have a common life And now it seems to be so overwhelming It’s been some time I know I got it coming And then the strength of living came back to me I fell away from every philosophy I realized I won’t be everlasting Just have a look, you will find nothing but this Oh! Honey, Honey! Don’t you ask me for money,money,money,money, Honey! Honey!

Dust is gold 02:35
Blinded by the sharp lights of the night I can hear the bright cars passing by Sugar melts as coffee burns Flavored chips and old film lines took me by surprise And little squirrels, cigarettes and guns Everyone is raising up his flag They’re colorblind, colorblind Steamy faces behind a brothel window So what’s before the burning of the shades? He will be betrayed by her true eyes ‘Cause after all, dust is gold and rubbish is a mine. And little bird’s black silhouettes in flight Everyone is raising up his flag They’re colorblind, colourblind Who achieves the images in black and white? They left the pictures half and half (half and half and half) They left their pictures in the dark... Sugar melts as coffee burns Sugar melts as coffee burns

Let me tell you about a young man He’s been living in danger of death You may know that he cant feel, no He cant feel, no! lalalalalalalala! He is in love with a powerful girl She uses punk skirts as a masquerade She doesn’t know but he can t feel, no! He can’t feel, no! lalalalalalalalalalala! Let me tell you about a wild man (wild man!) He’s been living in outer space (outer space!) After years of denial he lost his will You can dance with everyone But you can fool no one at all. They stole a rocket from a parking lot (Told all their friends they were leaving) Made all the arrangements to leave the earth (Took all their clothes and their feelings) Invited friends to a party on the moon (Falling stars, records and red wine) To watch the cosmos from the swimming pool (Hum!) You may know that they can’t feel, no! They can’t feel, no! He can’t feel, no! He can’t feel, no! lalalalalalalalalalalalala!

Margot 03:17
You know Margot Where does her mind go? What do her hands show? Holding her dark coat? She’s only waiting for the day Standing in the night the city lightens her hair Think of Margot (Tell me where she was) Lost in the alley like a ghost (Lost like a ghost) Tell me how much it can cost Tell me how much She must be waiting for her man Standing in the night the city lightens her hair Margot floats in the night (yes, she floats through the night) Like a soft dandelion (in her feathers and furs) And she rests in the hands of anyone Margot floats in the night (yes, she flies through the night) In her feathers and furs (like a cellophane queen) she’s left the rainbow with her Ma You know Margot (you know she will get lost) Where does her mind go? (in the alley like a ghost) What do her legs show? (tell me how much it can cost) wearing those black socks (tell me how much) You know Margot You know Margot You know Margot Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

We had a little romance But the people in town are still laughing In a wild old dog celebration With fire and everyone's in But we are still dancing, we are still dancing… Ah! We can buy some land to build a cosy home with a futuristic garden, And every afternoon we’ll drink some wine and play around with our laser rays. Yet, we must admit that time goes by and we can argue over simple things. Babe, is that good for you? Then we‘ll be safe and losing ourselves in the view. And every time we have the chance we’ll lie down, watch the phantom stars breaking the roof. Within the aluminum grass the trees will grow as high as interstellar lights. In symptomatic chemistry we’ll try to realize what true love can be.. Baby, that’s good for me, And we’ll be waiting to embrace ourselves in the dark And…. Uhhhh !!! After all the medicines we took to turn us on, our space collapses to a tragic comic end and galaxies explode. But there will be another fantasy, another track, another go!

I wanna be alone Alone with my thoughts Wanna be alone at home, alone with my thoughts Smoking big cigars Looking like a bum I wanna be alone at home, Alone with my thoughts I wanna be alone Alone with my thoughts Wanna be alone at home, alone with my thoughts Playing my guitar Feeding all my cats I wanna be alone at home, Alone with my thoughts Come with me to the sugar tree It’s a happy place where sugar’s free Come with me to the sugar tree Don’t wanna be alone. Oh! Come with me to the sugar tree It’s a happy place where sugar’s free Come with me to the sugar tree It’s a happy place, c’mon !!! Are you really alone? (Arthur’s maze) Get your stuff off my lawn You’re not welcome anymore Leave me the scotch So you say you’re alone You’re just a spoiled boy Take your charts and your songs You’re not welcome anymore (Arthur’s maze) I don’t know if you heard me But there is something you must know I will tell you once And I will tell you twice I don’t want you on my block ‘Cause I have been my whole life here Standing on this corner alone I’m the one who rules here I don’t want your nose near I don’t want you on my block (I don’t want you on my block!) Like everybody here you are heating your anger With your mobile phone you are cooking your balls And all your moves and your violent reactions Are just a cause of what you’re living up to And you may say you are doin’ OK But you don’t know what is coming up next You better run to preserve your own health You’ll find a place to be safe from the rain Well, I don’t know where you come from And I don’t know who you are But I will tell you once and I may tell you twice that I don’t want you on my block Cause I don’t know why you’re here And I don’t care if you’re alone I’m the one who rules here I don’t want your nose near I don’t want you on my block (I don’t want you on my block) (No! No! No!) As I walk out of the city I can see the people coming in How wonderful to watch all those faces Full of hope Here comes Arthur Maze Smiling on a rainy day and he’s walking straight to you so, come on, don’t be a shy boy open up your eyes focus your mind show your white teeth give a smile to Arthur Maze! Sure you’re gonna find a better place (maze, maze, Arthurs maze!)
