HOW TO MEASURE A PLANET?

1998

 

 

TRAVEL

 

Melodic stanzas

are symphonizing their way

through your weary head

 

To feed your distrust

And fill it's mouth with the desire

to soulfully be one with your creation

 

Not a subject to control

you call upon a higher power

for help and inspiration

 

The crowd waits

and turns their faces

towards you expectantly

you give them what they need

But their useless criticism

makes you die

a bit more inside

 

Not a subject to control

you call upon a higer power

for help and inspiration

 

Oh, I swoon

while loudspeakers play soft music

 

Leaning

over your fourtieth masterpiece

You must have loved

the colour of these violins

 

I wish I knew you

Your fit of insanity makes me sad

 

I wish you knew

your music was to stay forever

And I hope...

 

I have no clue

if you know how much it matters

And I hope...

LIBERTY BELL

 

No brainwaves or activity

while the craft is in the air

It's getting dark, it's getting light

we are sitting in a chair

 

We have fastened every belt

we cannot float out of our seats

It's so enormously frightening

When our tail reaches superheat

 

Another timezone

a change of season

it is turning dark again

We're getting ready for yet

another orbit around our planet

 

It is time for the galactic cruise

To come to an end

One last view on the world

and the time we have spend

 

  

ESCUCHA LIBERTY BELL

 

 

 

GREAT OCEAN ROAD

 

It is all there

The earth and the ocean

They contain the power

Of our lives

 

This beautiful city

That surrenders

To the nightfall

Carving the grounds

We walk upon

 

And the air

We all dare

To ride it somehow

 

Blue and black is the sky

While tumbling down

Trapped into the freedom

Of an aeroplane

 

Deprived of sleep

We jump into the deep

With no knowledge whatsoever

 

There is no place

On the face

Of this earth

Only silence

Is the sound

Of an angel

 

 

RESCUE ME

 

All I want

Is to be where you are

Wisdom

Will nurse you

 

Pass your sense

On to me

Weigh my hands

And help me

 

I gasp

For air

What is the wear

That shows on my face

 

Pass your sense

On to me

Weigh my hands

Rescue me

 

I rinse my face

In water

My breath runs out

In the waves

 

 

 

MY ELECTRICITY

 

I send your name

Up into the sky

And the wind blows it back into my face

 

You see, even nature

Reacts on me

And all my electricity

Will make it across your sea

 

With every wave the sea makes

My body gets weaker

And weaker.... and weaker..

 

You see, even nature

Reacts on me

And all my electricity

Will make it across your sea

 

And provides you

With my love

 

 

RED IS A SLOW COLOUR

 

The black house in in my street

Looks too dark just to go inside

But when I do

I cannot move because of

The mess in the hallway

 

The picture on the wall is chaotic

I don't want to look at it

But when I do

I cannot speak because of

The confusion in my head

 

I am unfit and I want to leap away

But when I do

The red colour comes after me

It is fierce and it moves slow

 

The picture on the wall is chaotic

I don't want to look at it

But when I do

I cannot speak because of

The confusion in my head

 

I am unfit and I want to leap away

But when I do

The red colour comes after me

It is fierce and it moves slow
