dead before I was born
well the lord must have had his day of when I was born
he went to bed closed his eyes and had some fun
mummy sad she wanted me and I was welcome
daddy gave his sperm and it was done
the first thing that I saw was white
the nurse cam with the scissors and said: it's a boy
the doctor hit my ass, said come on cry
and then I started to scream and I was alive
ooh ooh I was dead before I was born
and now I'm here and I don't know why
cause I wasn't asked at all
generation got its own disease
the more we take the less we give
that's the modern way to live
and someone said live fast die young
but the time runs always fster son
diseases come diseases go
welcome to the final show
let's shake hands with plastic gloves
I think that I'm too young to die
love that girl and say goodbye
change the girls like underwear
using bodies without care
the love had gone and what we've got
is sweet perfume of sex and blood
and believe me baby every generation
got its own disease
and I've got mine so help us please
there's an old lady living in an old house
since her husband died she hasn't been out
she lives in her own world with her own little nightmares
and she's stopped counting the days
she buys a radio station with her husbands legacy
she does her own show 10 hours a day
playys poems and listens lets feelings run free
helps people talk their pain away
so if your world falls down
can't see the light of day
call the lady call her station today
and listen
this is Radio Orchid listen and cry
this is Radio Orchid suffer and die
this is Radio Orchid listen and cry
take your lonely heart and let it fly
sending her message she's solving the problems
of millions and millionsand who solves hers
the old lady gets older still lives in her old house
but when she dies we'll all live alone
in your room
in your room
there's a bed in the corner
there's a view over the town
in your room
your typewriter's telling stories
in your room
there are you waiting for me
when I look into your eyes
I can see myself
kings and queens
they have lost their heads
but I
I've lost my heart
in your room
I'd like to craw into you
come cover me with love
I'd like to craw into you
come cover me with love
'til we've had enough
and we never get enough
there are worlds beneath the world
and they are covered under blankets
in your room
in your room
friendly fire
we've got a brand new game with an age old name
called birds and bees it's always been the same
since the world began
I know I play with fire and you're gasoline
I'm your fool and you're my queen
the on that I admire
well we've reached the top and don't look back
you took my heart and broke my neck
ooh how I desire
to die in your friendly fire
well I want you girl and that's all I want
I'll be the blitzkrieg tank at your bedroom front
and I'll roll over your landmines
in your little jungle I'll be the snake
throwing the apples dive in your lake
and I'll drink it dry
well we've reached the point of no return
we started a fire that will always burn
oooh how I desire
to die in your friendly fire
money rules
what opens doors for you in the restaurants
what makes you realize your dreams
what let's you buy cars and cars one for every day
just what you really need you can't buy
what makes the movie beauties smile at you
what makes your bogies shine like gold
what makes your doctor be your best friend
when you visit him
what makes the bank-clerks smile and sing
and the sing:
money rules let's buy the world
money rules let's rule the world
money rules forget the world
money rules let's crack the world
haunted head and heart
well dear friend I guess we both know the scene
you and yourself placed in the corners of the ring
those unforgiving memories travelling down
your face winners and loosers in senseless race
the first hit is to be forgiven
but the second counts you out
and it you'll shout out for a help here
you'd better shout out loud
haunted head and heart
are we brothers in arms in different dreams
dreams lon long gone and ruled by dead kings and queens
a lot of things hppen and there's nothing you an di
the latest truth is a liar 'cause today is brandnew
maybe sleep is a station but life is a train
and if it will pass you better jump on again
haunted head and heart
you'll never kiss the world brandnew
I hope you understand
that in the end you're on your own
and happy words are bland
hell gets you nowhere
stood by the roadside late at night
hell came along and offered me a ride
I thought about it and then I said no
I asked my suitcase and my suitcase said let's g
and the bass said
hell gets you nowhere
that I swear
went to church sunday without my mum
laughed about my neighbour who sat on my chewinggum
he said the lord would punish me
and hells the right place for me to be
waiting for paradise
hey brother this world is a playground
where naughty children steal the other ones toys
filthy faces digging in the dirt
grey trenchcoates offer sweets to the boys
hey sister this world is a whorehouse
buy every ass pay every price
pride don't exist it's all for sale
on a king size bed we sacrefice
te rest of our honour for a cup filled with rice
standing in the rain
waiting for the paradise
hey there people this world is a college lab
1000 white mice standing in line
laboratory rabbits running in circles
with wires in their heas they try to find
a way out of their cage to leave the torture behind
when God goes home
there are moments in our lifes
when every word is meaningless
what has to happen happens
and someones directing this I guess
there are moments in our dreams
where fantasy goes to extremes
we close our eyes and drift away
nothings left to say
there are mad dogs in our governments
with dollar bills and guns in hands
building walls then knock'em down
first destroy the buy the town
the write the book of history
with lots of blood and misery
evers page is drowned in red
sleep well in your bed
there are moments in our nights
when we forget the world outside
you'll take my hand and I'll take yours
and then we shut the doors
when you fell alone at night
there's no-one there to hold you tight
call me up switch of the light
and I'll help you through the night
I'll give you everything I've got
it's not much believe me but
I'm just a little wheel
in this machinery of steel
oohh when god goes home
the world sleeps alone
the brainsong
I went to the hospital asked for a general check
the doctor said yes and started to stick needles into my back
they sucked out all my blood made me piss into a glass
I was connected to machines for thousands of tests what a gas!
now I'm still lying in my hospital bed feeling the pain
and my little flame of life is left standing in the rain
the nurse over me looks like a nmonster out of the drain
an nobody knows what I've got so they test me again
your brain can fool your body
it makes you feel the pain even when you're not ill
