Long hot Night
John Franklin
BROTHERS & SISTERS
calls from where they saw the signs
for a better understanding co´s they
changed all the surroundings here
to a weird kind of thing
big sign on the door restricted even more
time to look ahead
they´ve been round for ages here
to step right on to have no fear
to be along with all their rules
and to realize it´s time for a change
BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOLLOW UP BEHIND
TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO LIFE
useful for eternities
practical for generations
but follow back the history
who is able to learn
one hundred thoughts we´re out of time
there´s no more movement like a crime
a carefull step within one wink
no more reasons to wait
LIFE BY THE SEA
this seems to bet he brightest city of mankind
look at my mirror image down by the sea
i catch the rising sun now supposed to be happy
there´s nothing else to find here ( exept )
life by the sea
all of the lanes are pointing down to the coastline
to call my attention to this well kown expanse
the sea seems to tell me secrets under the surface
i take my chances right here
life by the see
and the sunlight city catches me in short time
i am drunk and swallowed but i´m feeling safe
and the sunlit city
is known for good vibrations
and they‘re taking over fast
look here my mind is filtered into a warm breeze
i feel a real addiction deep in my soul
once i had plans to travel homeless and unbound
( but ) i take my chances right here
life by the sea
BACK INTO MY MIND
back into my mind - thoughts are running faster
they try to get me back to life in former days
back into my mind - they come around the corner
i am not prepared for the ghosts i called before
i spend my time without a question
i spend my time with common doubts
( now ) lead me to a bridge to stride ahead
back to better times i´m driving to my childhood
worry about the present afraid to miss those signs
i don‘t want a life with different faces
i just want to go on with a different smile
back into my mind ,( but ) leave the rest behind
should be deaf to voices from the past
Back into my mind , leave the rest behind
don´t want to fish in troubled waters...
back into the case where nobody can find me
try to find the way out , on the other side
back into the flow , where ever i may find it
try to read my mind in a different way
MAN ON A HILL
big toys flying machines don‘t know what it means
strange things lying around feel a shaking from the ground
flash lights into the night , feel a tension deep inside
tightrope´s hang everywhere, seems they float in the air
there´s a man on a hill
and i´m wondering about the things he does
sounds, like from outer space ,lead me right on this trace
unkown rivers to find , feel confused in my mind
starships crossing my sight , an invitation, a fast ride
sculptures starring at me , but where´s the artist ,not to see
there´s a man on a hill
and i´m wondering about the things he does
i´ve been around for a while
asking questions to a marsman, try to join his style
i´ve been around a thousand times
surrounded by a playground to read between the lines
now what´s he building out there , is there a kind of sense ( he don‘t care )
try to figure it out , his kind of work is speaking so loud
not so easy to say , he´s like a child in his own way
big toy´s flying machines , whirr around in my dream
there´s a man on a hill
and i´m wondering about the things he does
he plays without a reason
but i´m not here to tease him
creations by the man who ´s
flying to the moon
real soon
Waters Flow
something going on below your feet
there’s a river flowing under ground
a certain rhythm from down beneath
listen closely and you hear the sound
constant flowing from the well to the sea
take our memories and give them release
on your journey you set them free
from the sky to the earth and beneath
come on over and see the waters flow
the days are gone when the ground was dry
ooh yeah
it never ceases but it comes and it goes
through the ages it has always been
the destination - how will we ever know
only few of us have ever seen
come on over and see the waters flow
the days are gone when the ground was dry
come on board let the journey start
come on over let your spirit fly
ooh yeah
THREE KINGS
stand up grap my shoes on the floor
i´m walking to the bathroom door, that‘s me
overloaded feeling tight
i´m up to catch the morning light that‘s me
now this is us by the meeting point
now this is us came down to join
now this is us and we got to know ...this is us
along the path of rusty trails
passing all of the unkown tales that‘s me
leading all the searchers now
through the woods don´t ask me how that‘s me
get inside the tunnel now
feel the presence of the unkown that‘s me
hear the ringing telephone
but still no answer all alone that‘s me
this is us try to remember how did we walk to get here
this is us try to get closer inside this garden somewhere
IT´S COMING STRAIGHT
you can smell it in the air
just the magic and no fear
and it´s like spring is on the move
your inside dj has the groove
it´s coming straight
the happy sound i´m wondering where it´s been
it´s coming straight
right from the bottom time to let it in
it´s coming straight
the moment when this feeling touches me
it´s coming straight
just another working day
watch myself the same old way
but suddenly a different sight
through my mind and it´s alright
maybe just seconds passed away
a point of view that likes to stay
in this solid state of mind
guess now it´s the time to be unwind
SHEEP INSPECTOR
connected slow ...
the facts of the action are starting right now
somebody saw something but i´m wondering how
down by the meadow a sheep was watching me
time to hurry up i think the murderer´s behind that tree
i´ve got the same old information
and they lead me to nowhere
i´ve got the statement of the people
but i guess that they don‘t care
it is a useless exploration
and the wrong investigation
i think i need an invitation to come along ...stop !
connected slow ...
now where is the witness and where is the beast
i´m trying to get further but it seems like a backtrack at least
i´m looking stupid and the sheep are still drinking tea
maybe i´m suspicious and the murderers watching me
right down by the meadow ( i´m sure ) i saw the moving shadow
huge and tall / better call a sheep inspector and move him through
the gate...
connected slow....
i don‘t pay attention nothing left to say
i see no marks there‘s just a misty way
now where is the witness and where is the beast
time to retire real soon to start my release
NOBODY ELSE
we have science ,computers just to calculate
we have formulars to see inside the trees
we have toys and the money just to circulate
we try to figure out the secrets of the human being
we‘re gonna stretch the lifetime of ourselves
we‘re gonna dive to the the deepness of the mind control
nobody is in time
slow motion and no sign
just sliding on thin ice
nobody is ...
we‘re gonna search for the answers ,want to understand
we need to know conceptions and the rules
we try to learn, to explain ,try to take advance
so let´s strive and explore through the theories
and lets count the numbers in the line
keep on measuring the nature try to take control
THE ANTS
i´m flying over the hemisphere watching what is wrong
we just look like bugs from here but something´s moving on
now please try to freeze it try to look once more
what‘s the story behind it, nobody ´s asking for
playing games just to confuse in the morning light
a hunting hiding circus don‘t want to look inside
from the top yes t‘s good to see, they‘re on to turning round the sense
some stupid man´s and a masterplan building up a fence
and all the ants are coming smiling tenderly
working in the backround for the highest fee
in a straight direction for the glory and the fame
follow all the leaders
please let me just say good bye to them
