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!
your brain can fool your body
it makes you feel pain even when you're not ill
it fools your body
it makes you feel pain even when you're not ill
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 look like a monster out of the drain
and nobody knows what I've got so they test me again
your brain can fool your body
it makes you feel pain even when you're not ill
it fools your body
it makes you feel pain even when you're not ill
Every 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 faster son
diseases come diseases go
welcome to the final show
let's shake hands with plastic gloves
and watch out for the last white doves
and believe me baby every generation
got its own disease
and I've got mine so help me please
believe me baby every generation
got its own disease
and I've got mine so help me please
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 has 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 me please
believe me baby every generation
got its own disease
and I've got mine babe so help me please
and believe me baby every generation
got its own disease
and I've got mine babe help me please
believe me baby every generation
got its own disease
and I've got mine babe help me please
help me please
help me please
help me please
tell it baby every generation
got its own disease
and I've got mine babe help me please
and I say every, every, every
every generation got ist own desease
every, every, every
every generation got ist own desease
Dead before I was born
well the lord must have had his day off when I was born
he went to bed closed his eyes had some fun
mummy said she wanted me and I was welcome
daddy gave his sperm and it was done
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
the first thing that I saw was white
the nurse came 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
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
ohh ohh 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
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
ohh ohh I was dead before I was born
Radio Orchid
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

plays poems and listens lets feelings run free
helps people talk their pain away

can't see the light of day

of millions and millions and who solves hers

but when she dies we'll all live alone

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
the rest of our honour for a cup filled with rice
standing in the rain
waiting for the paradise
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 heads they try to find
a way out of their cage to leave the torture behind
standing in the rain
waiting for the paradise
standing in the rain
waiting for the paradise...
When I'm dead and gone
ooh I love you baby, I love you night and day
when I leave you baby, don't cry the night away
when I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
I don't believe, I want to leave no epitaph for two
wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to morn beside my grave - yeah
ooh, Mama Linda, she's out to get my eye
she's got a shotgun and a daughter by her side
hey there, ladies, Johnsonīs free
who's got the law, who's got the love to keep a man like me
wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I'm gonna leave some happy woman living on
wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to morn beside my grave - yeah

Wonīt forget these days
late at night I switch on my radio
I sing myself a lullaby
I close my eyes and wait
till the wind blows round the corner
bringing back the memories to me, uhh yeah
well we dreamed our lives, and we lived our dreams
we've sacreficed our future for a heart of rock'n roll
won't forget these days
and I never thought I would
won't forget these days,uhh I
won't forget these days
and I never thought I would
won't forget these days
wonīt forget these days
everybody's so important and they all wanna cheat you
learn it by heart, right from the start
bread is bread and you can even eat it
count what you've sold but gold remains cold
young boys take their dirty hands and swear
nothing should come between us
but mostly it comes earlier, than anybody wants it
won't forget these days
and I never thought I would
won't forget these days, uhh I
won't forget these days
and I never thought I would
won't forget these days
I wonīt, I wonīt, I wonīt, I wonīt
I wonīt forget
I wonīt, I wonīt, I wonīt, I wonīt
I wonīt forget, uhh I
I wonīt forget
and I never thought I would
uhh, I wonīt forget
and I never thought I would
won't forget these days
and I never thought I would
won't forget these days, uhh I
won't forget these days
and I never thought I would
won't forget these days
When god goes home
there are moments in our lives
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
nothingīs 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 then buy the town
they write the book of history
with lots of blood and misery
every page is drowned in red
sleep well in your bed
when you feel 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 everthing 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
when god goes home
there are moments in our lives
when every word is meaningless
what has to happen happens
and someones directing this I guess
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 feel 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 everthing 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
when god goes home
the worls sleeps alone
when you feel 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
when you feel 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 everthing 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
when god goes home...
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 one that I admire
well we've reached the top and don't look back
you took my heart and broke my neck
ohh how I desire
to die in your friendly fire
to die in your friendly fire
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
to die in your friendly fire...
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
to die in your friendly fire...
Money rules
what opens doors for you in the restaurants
what makes you realize your dreams
what letīs you buy cars and cars one for every day
just what you really need you canīt pay
money rules letīs buy the world
money rules letīs rule the world
money rules forget the world
money rules letīs crack the world
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 they sing:
money rules letīs buy the world
money rules letīs rule the world
money rules forget the world
money rules
money rules letīs buy the world
money rules letīs rule the world

In your room
in your room
there's a bed in the corner
in your room
there's a view over the town
in your room
your typewriter's telling stories
in your room
there are you waiting for me
in your room
when I look into your eyes
I look into a mirror
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
in your room
I'd like to crawl into you
come cover me with love
I'd like to crawl into you
come cover me with love
I'd like to crawl into you
come cover me with love
'til we're had enough
and we never get enough
in your room
there are worlds beneath the world
and they are covered under blankets
in your room
in your room
