Make sure you have a falcon on your shoulder
You can only fulfill the shadows of your dreams
I'm no stranger to misery
I had my share I think
Make sure you have a falcon on your shoulder
Or at least a whiskey in your hand
The times are getting tougher my friend
Let's call each other names
We have nothing else to do
Nothing else makes more sense, I will wait for you
You and me are after the same thing
Some place in the shade
Some minor piece of happiness, before it is too late
Was it me, or could it been anybody last night?
You can't even keep your face straight
I won't pick a fight
The nights are getting longer
The nightmares closing in
You win so little for everything, you leave along the way

What else can you do

What else can you do
They are playing Bauhaus over loudspeakers
At a truck stop near Bucksnort Tennessie
This has to be a glitch in the matrix
I drink myself temporarily out of service
What else can you do
What else can you do than falling
What else can you do than falling back on black humor
Hope they say springs eternal
I tend towards depression fast
But not as long as I can have
Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Shiraz
The young man in black I remember
And discussions under the night sky
I miss the smell of scented candles
And being considered generally tactless
There plays a song as bad as a poem
You write when you are happy
It's had to be a genius
In midst of all mediocrity
I clearly remember the birthday
My childhood came to an end
When I suddenly realized
I had more candles than friends

At first sight

At first sight
Remember that feeling deep down in your belly
When a moment shrank to the blink of an eye
Your surroundings, the people, the place disappeared
Remember that feeling of love at first sight
In a bar, at a concert, a party, in the theatre
Always when you couldn't even dream about it
Something else laid awake, was in charge of your life
Remember that feeling of love at first sight
Another glance, a little longer, carrying an entire world
Now your legs, just keep going, step by step, am I right
Until the you stood in front of each other
Remember that feeling of love at first sight
Now you hope to think of the the right thing to say
You pray you don't come across a boring
Was there still the pimple on my chin from last night?
Remember that feeling of love at first sight
The smile of the other is enough as an answer
And can only be returned with another smile
Laughing together, dancing together, and going home
Remember that feeling of love at first sight

Mit einem Blick

Mit einem Blick
Weisst du noch, wie es ist, dieses Gefuehl, in deinem Bauch
Genau dann, wenn ein Moment, zu einem Augenblick, gefriert
Das drumherum, menschen und orte, in einer stille, erschweigt
Weisst du noch, wie es ist, als man sich, mit einem Blick kennenlernte
In einer Bar, beim Konzert, auf ner Party, im Theater
Gerade dann, wenn du nicht, im Traume, daran dachtest
Wachte etwas, etwas anderes, unerklaerliches, fuer dich
Weisst du noch, wie es ist, als man sich, mit einem Blick kennenlernte
Und dann der zweite, der leicht laengere, Blick bis eine Weile
Nun die Beine, eines vors andere, Schritt, Schritt fuer Schritt
Bis ihr vor euch, still steht, wie die Zeit, und jeder Geist
Weisst du noch, wie es ist, als man sich, mit einem Blick kennenlernte
Wenn dir nun noch, das richtige einfaellt, zerbrech dir nicht den Kopf
Bloss nicht einfaeltig, oder oede, in diesem Licht, erscheinen
Hattest du nicht, noch eben, den pickel, ausgedrueckt?
Weisst du noch, wie es ist, als man sich, mit einem Blick kennenlernte
Und dann das Laecheln, des Gegenuebers, das als Antwort, fuer sich steht
Und nur mit Laecheln, gegenwaertig, und entsprechend, erwidert wird
Gemeinsam lachen, gemeinsam tanzen, und schliesslich, nach Hause gehen
Weisst du noch, wie es ist, als man sich, mit einem Blick kennenlernte
