Box 62 03 49, 1 Berlin 62 @SONG: Summer Rain World without a breeze Heartbeat of the heat above the harbour Lazy day lies dazed upon the shelf Atomic lizards lick at the blaze of the light that is forever No move in the solid skies No gleaming metal out of the breathtaking blue My golden circus girls all sailed away The lion tamers are no longer due to play Whoever breaks the seven seals and lets the angry angels free I do not know Just waiting here For summer rain For summer rain Or anything else Prophet hold your head up Into a cluster of bees and listen "Love of my life Here is all our honey Yes, we can change the world, together" And if we're still invited to walk in this party I'd go for a saucerful of secrets or more But last thing I heard of was that GOD had left the lines For a brandnew universe He was supposed to say My golden circus girls all sailed away The lion tamers are no longer due to play Whoever breaks the seven seals and lets the angry angels free I do not care just waiting over there For summer rain For summer rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again Cool Rain String Arrangement................. Rainer Bloss Additional Percussion............ Hansi Behrendt @SONG: Romeos There's a boy with a little black dog There's a boy with a little black dog And he looks at his watch for a while And the falling years wash away his make up And the falling years wash away his make up Just like rain on the fading snow He's a lonesome streetside Romeo You can see him from your window tonite This world's a divided place you know He's awaiting you All the boys are locked in a fortress All the girls are locked in a fortress Just because it's a crime it could be It could be Flesh and blood in iron and steel Flesh and blood in iron and steel Just because it's a crime it could be It could be We're all lonesome streetside Romeos You can see us from your window tonite This world's a divided place you know We're awaiting you We're all lonesome streetside Romeos This world's a divided place you know We're awaiting you, we're awaiting you We all change our points of view, sometimes You can see us from your window, tonite We're awaiting you Awaiting you Guitars............ Blacky Schwarz Ruszczynski Backing Vocals................ Miriam Stockley Mae McKenna @SONG: She Fades Away She's like a frostfern in my head The lamplight burns my eyes and then she fades away My pencil's frozen in my hand And the letter I can't write It seems to be a desert without end I woke up late at night She called me up Then disappeared And the echo of her voice filled the empty places in my dreams With the silent tide She fades away Again She fades away She fades away again Don't go now Please, stay My senses are cruising through a void As pale reflections play on the deserted roads I hear the humming of machines A distant sound like thunder crawling through the void There's no escape I know I run around in circles without end And the more the memory grows Dissolving from reality With the silent tide She fades away Again She fades away She fades away again Don't go now Please, stay Don't make me cry This time I've got to learn I know, she won't return String Arrangement.............. Klaus Schulze Crescendo Guitar................. Kenneth Ward @SONG: The Mysteries Of Love All I want is you, don't you know that, forever loving you Don't you know that it's true. I'm leaving you tonight But don't listen if they say that we'll never meet again In the Land Of Make Believe, We cannot lose the race Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my Love We're far out of their reach a million years ahead They never understand the Mysteries of Love Here's the Mysteries of Love give your body to the Mysteries Tear down your uniforms, here's the Mysteries of Love All I want to be, don't you know that all we wanna be is free Like the beasts of the sea. We kiss the last Good-Byes And sailing with a S.M.I^2.L.E 'cross the iron borderlines That butterflies despise. We cannot lose at all Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my Love We're far out of their reach a million years ahead They never understand the Mysteries of Love Guitars............

Hansi Behrendt @SONG: Ariana Driving down the streets, listening to the radio, what do we get Ariana Reading the papers and the news, they scream, haven't you heard Ariana She rules the business, she's such a restless genuine juvenile Everyone knows, wherever she goes She got chique, she got class, she got style Arianamaniacs rule the world, haven't you heard Arianamaniacs set the scenes on fire, fire We're goin' nutz for Ariana, We're goin' carrazy for her Everything glows, wherever she goes She got sex from her lips to her toes All the Casanovas and the zombies agree With the hummingbirds and the beasts from the seas Ariana's a real sensation, when will she be on the screen Arianamaniacs rule the world, haven't you heard Arianamaniacs set the scenes on fire, fire Guitar Solo...................... Michael Ryan Backing Vocals...... The Lunapark Office Choir @SONG: Heaven Or Hell Once I awoke A shadow of your smile had crossed my mind How could I know this ws your last Good-Bye That's slipping through the Windmills of the night "You never understand when she's talking to you, little Boy You never understand when she's talking to you She's too far away..." Is it Heaven or Hell We're drifting in the wake of our dreams And the world is a clown who cries And no one can tell, is he real Once I cried Whenever I awoke without you A stranger in the thunder of the dark I'm praying to the sun to shine tonight "You never understand when she's talking to you, mon Amour You never understand when she's talking to you She's too far away..." Is it Heaven or Hell We're drifting in the wake of our dreams And the world is a clown who cries And no one can tell, is he real Drums..........................

Gabi Becker @SONG: For A Million Oh I love to dance Under an alien sun Along the dunes with you I kiss you in the sand We give so that we live Beside the sleepy snakes They dream of you and me When will they ever end For a million years they dream For a million years they dream And the fog conceals and hides and eats our souls Before they open up their eyes again How far we'll be Remember me Won't stop lovin' you Although it seems to be Our time is running out I'm leaving you behind No matter what they say We'd never meet again Our love is bigger than our lives For a million years they dream For a million years they dream And the fog conceals and hides and eats our souls Before they open up their eyes again How far we'll be How far we'll be And we know that yesterday The moon was brown And that today it is black And that tomorrow it is red And we know that when we go to the sun The moon comes along (Hello there!) And the cows in the pasture graze And we know that we know what we know Is it truth? Guitars.................... Manuel Goettsching Additional Guitar............ Eff Jott Krueger Vocoder Voices.................... Julie Ocean Backing Vocals.................... Gabi Becker @SONG: Middle Of The Riddle At the edge of the moon there's a lonely man And he blows on his horn as strong as he can And the girl at the bar wipoes the breath of winter away with a smile of her face And a little black dog barks along with a loon Is this my appointment or did I came too soon Got a strange invitation for teatime 'twas given by somebody I can't recall It's the middle of the riddle It's not very serious It's nothing but a big surprise And the president's horse is a rabbit of course That is livin' in a big boy's mind Livin' in a big boy's mind And I skate on a knife on a wire That is strung from this song to a distant shore And then I say Intuition is just another phase of chance While we're walking the old pyramid's floors (Little pharaoh's) And the little black dog Here it comes again He's a true companion in a foreign land On a quest for the valley of boojums and birthdays And phone calls I cannot recall It's the middle of the riddle It's not very serious It's nothing but a big surprise And the president's horse is a rabbit of course That is livin' in a big boy's mind We're livin' in a big boy's mind Livin' in a big boy's mind All of man shan't talk to the one at the helm And the man at the helm shall talk to no one at all (Rule forty-two) And a horse is a rabbit of course (Yes indeed) Yes, a horse is a rabbit of course Guitars Blacky Schwarz Ruszczynski Strings Klaus Schulze Additional Percussion Hansi Behrendt @SONG: Patricia's Park Instrumental @SONG: Anyway Welcome Or should I say good bye? It's a question how close we are apart Are you goin' back home after this show Or leaving for the wild And when you're passing the wardrobe What will you take? Your worn out hat of hopes Or someone else's attractive furs to make it through The playgrounds of your life? All is shown All shut down All the world is gone All the pieces came together Finally but not too late All is shown All shut down All the world is gone Just pretend that I'm not there Make your choice I'll love you anyway I'll love you anyway Just make your choice Pretend that I'm not there All the world is gone All the world is gone Just take it Just take it And you'll make it Alright, yeah Ride on Ride on All is shown All shut down All the world is gone All the pieces came together Finally but not too late All is shown All shut down All the world is gone Just pretend that I'm not there Make your choice I'll love you anyway Trumpet........................
