Make sure you have a falcon on your shoulder (or at least a whiskey in your hand) 04:13

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 03:05
lyrics

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 02:56

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 02:56
lyrics
buy track
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
