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
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud, sing out strong
Na, na na na nanananaaaa, nanananaaaa, Hey Jude…
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.
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
Walk on the ocean
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
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
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
Oh, what a feeling
When we’re dancing on the ceiling
God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God bless me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you
You
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?
