Hast du etwas Zeit für mich  
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich  
Von 99 Luftballons  
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont  
Denkst du vielleicht g’rad an mich  
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich  
Von 99 Luftballons  
Und dass so was von so was kommt

I’d like to teach the world to sing  
In perfect harmony  
I’d like to hold it in my arms  
And keep it company

I’d like to see the world for once  
All standing hand in hand  
And hear them echo through the hills  
For peace throughout the land

That’s the song I hear  
Let the world sing today

Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi  
Ain’t singin’ for Coke  
I don’t sing for nobody  
Makes me look like a joke  
This note’s for you.

Well I must have gone back in time  
About the time after Jesus died.  
He was down there preachin’ in that hole  
To all us dark and lonely souls.

And He said, “Son, why are you here?  
You should be back home drinkin’ beer,  
Writin’ songs about God and Glory.  
Don’t use the Devil in your story.”

Well this is my last song about Satan–  
No more songs about evil with filth and vile and booze,  
No more songs about my hell.  
I’ve nothin’ left to prove.

Ornamental  
Or warm and gentle  
On the way to paradise

Ornamental  
Or warm and gentle  
Can you tell heaven from hell  
As you will some day

I’ll build a stairway to paradise  
With a new step every day,  
I’m gonna get there at any price:  
Step aside, I’m on my way.  
I’ve got the blues, but up above it’s so fair,  
Shoes, go on and carry me there,  
I’ll build a stairway to paradise  
With a new step every day.

One foot in front of the next  
This is the start of a journey  
And my mind is already gone  
And though there are other unknowns  
Somehow this doesn’t concern me  
And you can stand right there if you want  
But I’m going on  
And I’m prepared to go it alone  
I’m going on

[It’s not a religion, it’s just a technique.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htkandNnx30)  
It’s just a way of making you speak.  
Distance and speed have left us too weak,  
And destination looks kind of bleak.

Our elements are burned out, our beasts have been mistreated.  
I tell you it’s the only way we’ll get this road completed.  
In the space between our bodies, the air has grown small fingers.  
Just one caress, you’re powerless, like all those clapped-out swingers.  
Destination, destination.

[Trying to jump-start my idea to add the matching video-takes 2 seconds people…]

Just one look, that’s all it took,  
Yeah, just one look.

Fire in the ice  
Naked to the t-bone  
Is a lover’s disguise  
Banging on the head drum  
Shaking like a mad bull  
She’s got the look

Swaying to the band  
Moving like a hammer  
She’s a miracle man  
Loving is the ocean  
Kissing is the wet sand  
[She’s got the look](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-qhSIO4iEk)

[Walk on the ocean](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3wxawgRVCQ)  
Step on the stones  
Flesh becomes water  
Wood becomes bone

Now we’re back at the homestead  
Where the air makes you choke  
and people don’t know you  
and trust is a joke  
We don’t even have pictures  
Just memories to hold  
That grow sweeter each season  
As we slowly grow old

Now youre gone  
They linger on, these memories  
All these precious memories  
[Memories of you](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORntm_NJuaI)

How they linger in the twilight  
In the morning in the small hours  
Just before dawn

Memories  
Of summer days so long ago  
People in the places  
That we used to know  
Oh those memories

If a tear should fall  
If I should whisper your name  
To some stranger I’m holding while we’re dancing to an old Buck Owens song

I know she won’t mind  
She won’t even know  
She’ll be dancing with a memory crying teardrops of her own

[Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ3SKgYEtPg)  
Her memory is driving me lonely crazy and blue  
It helps me forget her  
So the louder the better  
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

This night these memories lost and found  
Are taking over me  
I could see your picture and hear the sound  
Of the song you sung to me

You gotta feel and take every chance  
You did the right thing  
Drove a thousand miles away  
Out of trace and in another time  
You did the wrong thing  
And bought it back in your mind  
Why’s life so unkind?
