Everyone tries to be free
So keep your hands away from me
Cause I don't need to be controlled
And I don't need your laws at all
I wanna feel happy and be content
Singing my song and walking this land
Looking up with my morning eyes
I carry my song right to the skies
Alright
It's hard to spread your fairy wings
In a world full of queens and kings
Your brothers and sisters moan and cry
Every time I hear them I wonder why
It's the concrete - clashes them to the ground
Ears are raped with sustained sounds
No feelings in these frozen hearts
The art of war is the only art
Come on
You speak of violence and you speak of hate
I wish I could but I can’t relate
I’m dying lonely in the urban shade
My heart is naked and my dues were paid
Long time before you even started to walk
Long time before you found a reason to talk
I’ve got no culture so the preacher says
I’ve got no reason to exist anyway
So what

Forever Searching
05:30
|
|||
Morning birds they fly away
Into their sunny days
And I am walking thru the beach
Searching for a summer switch
To turn it on
The longer I search the less I find
I think to myself I must be blind
But give me time
And I'll surely see again
Mighty winds and heavy rains
And even the milky haze
Cannot stop me cause I must find
My own peaceful place
Where I can stay
The longer I search the less I find
I think to myself I must be blind
But give me time
And I'll surely see again
I asked the moon, I asked the sun
I asked the Earth and the sea
Where can I find the wizard
Who's got the key to my mind
The longer I ask the less I understand
I wonder if you could give me a hand
And more time
So I'll surely understand

Morning Sunrise
05:34
|
|||
Winter sun hangs motionless
Above the fields of ice
Red aurora borealis
Fills my eyes
I watch the messengers of days
Slowly rising hands
Soon there'll be a new day dawning
Soon this night will end
I watch the silence of the morning sunrise
A ritual of strangeness
My eyes have never seen
All that is supposed to wake
The sleeping earthly beings
I watch the messengers of days
Praying for a ray
From behind the tightening clouds
The call of a new day
I watch the silence of the morning sunrise

Green deeps of the outer bay
A dollhouse in which she loved to play
It's all a part of the past
Her memories will ever last
She speaks to the sun and the moon
Suddenly a thunder strokes her head
She'll be gone
Very soon
Green deeps of the outer bay
A train which always takes me away
It's all a part of the past
My memories will ever last
I walk thru the city in my morning gown
I speak to the stars in the sky
Suddenly a bullet strokes my head
I die
I die
Watch out now!
Green deeps of the outer bay
Green deeps of the outer bay
Green deeps of the outer bay
Green deeps of the outer bay

Like a Child
02:44
|
|||
A little child
As innocent as I would like to be
Always smiles
At everything it sees
Everything's so new
So important, beautiful and true
Just like it should
But it never would
I guess it's all just paid and done
Goodbye old sun
Parents' dreams
Are not quite what the child wants to do
It’s all decided
No matter what is worthy and true
If it pays off well just do it
No matter who or what or why
I bet you would
But you never should
I guess it's all just paid and done
You're not my son

Acid Queen
02:20
|
|||
Freed by dance, another chance
But she's not quite what she used to be
Freedom run straight to the sun
She only wants to be free
And to be with me
And I love my Acid Queen
She's the chorus of the spring
In beds of roses she gently sinks
In copper lakes and copper seas
She drowns to be free
And to be with me
And I love my Acid Queen
She’s the footprint in the snow
She’s the sun that dies to glow
She’s the ray that warms the world
She only lives to be free
And to be with me
And I love my Acid Queen

I'm poor but I'm proud you know
Cause I'm loving and living
I'm happy you know I drink, I eat
And they are not giving
They don't give me money
But I don't need it anyway
It's hard to live without their help
But I'm living for the day
And I take care of myself as good as I can
When you just pour the money down the drain
I don't go to work you see
And I don't give myself away
To a jury of sad, sad mothers
Repeating slave and pay
I wonder why so many folks
Do right as the power says
Fashion is exclusive suits
That melt the brain away
And still I have to pay
For a piece of Earth that's mine too
You take profits off your mother
And she is watching you
So I just live my sunny life
You're sick of the work and stress
Why don't you take a chance with me
Just get undressed
We're eating apples in the Garden of Love
In paradise they have no phones
On Earth they ring like hell
And call your spirit back to work
Don't go away cause the mankind zoo
Is now dead and light years away
Where were we born and when well we are
It's the question of my pay

Cid
01:45
|
|||
I'm nothing unusual
I'm just a simple kid
I live in the countryside
And my name is Cid
I'm nothing special
My view's the same
Trees, grass and flowers
Cid is my name
A big house in Berlin
With a couple of friends
All are my kind
But we're not the same
Individual hippies
Not some stupid flower-power
Rather Timothy Leary
Than hair and flowers

Cloudy Lack
03:13
|
|||
I hear a distant calling
I see a gentle sight
The sun is sifting slowly
The ashes of the night
Throughout my open window
What do I see
All kinds of freedom slowly
Flow into me
She looks like sunshine
And she brings the ray
Fills me with its might
As I softly lay
Heavily into reality
I can't turn back
I wanna stay forever in this cloudy lack
I praise the morning thunder
I feel eternal flow
The fertile throne of sun
Soon turns to mighty glow
Weeks in my astral window
Winds blow thru me
The breezes fill my eyelids
And I feel free

Too Much Sunshine
02:32
|
|||
Too much sunshine on my tired lips
Too much sunshine in my tired head
Too much sunshine in my tired eyes
Too much sunshine in the life I led
Thought I'd become dumb
But I became glad
Too much sunshine in my pocket
Too much sunshine in your hands
Too much sunshine is my dream
Too many sounds in a sunny land
Thought I'd become old
But I became young
Thought I'd lay in the dirt
But I flew to the sky
Sunshine feeds your head
Sunshine blows your mind
Sunshine never ends
You know sunshine ain’t no crime
Too much sunshine in your starry hair
Too much sunshine in the universe
Too much sunshine in an open field
Too much sunshine near the fireplace
Thought I’d love you more
Than you’ll ever guess
Thought I’d fly for your love
And never rest

The Sea Song
06:46
|
|||
All that I wish is to slide to the sea and dive
All that I wish is to ride on a cloud and fly
All that I wish is to slide to the sea and dive
All that I wish is to stroke the head of the sun
All that I wish - clear blue sky
Fields of green in the pure new sun
All that I wish - rivers of blue
Long hot summer nights with you
All that I wish is to dream for a while and fade
All that I wish is a multicolor fountain grave
All that I wish is to fall from a hill and fly
All that I wish is to watch the sea slide
All that I wish - clear blue sky
Fields of green in the pure new sun
All that I wish - rivers of blue
Long hot summer nights with you

God is the Dog
02:48
|
|||
I have found a secret door near the riverside
Behind there was a key to every why
I've been low and I've been high and I know the way
Into the endless halls of nights and days
I'm the One
I went to the highest heaven in the universe
When Mr. God saw my face he was really scared
My smile I think said everything to him
Here your handcuffs, there my ship - you'll come with me
I have got god in the jar
I am God
I am time I am space - real McCoy
Cosmos screens control you all - my little toys
And that funny guy with his angels are my slaves
I'll get rid of them as soon as I finish digging their graves
I have got everything
I don't want a single thing

Summer Dreams
03:23
|
|||
Summer wind blows endlessly
Into the hearts of those who feel
You have eyes to see
The meaning of your dreams
I know dreams won't lead me far
But at least I’ll try
Cause there's nothing just as free
As a bird in the summer sky
Summer sun shines endlessly
Into the hearts of those who feel
You have ears to hear
The sounds of all your dreams
I know dreams won't lead me far
But I really don't care
I'll keep on treading the fine, fine road
Even if you all go spare
Valleys low & mountains high
Crystal rivers full of fish
Wooden shutters in wooden houses
Open with my silent wish
I know dreams won't lead me far
But I really wanna try
To reach the Highest Buddha
That somewhere surely lies

Deep in Sun
02:23
|
|||
Over measured prophets
Dance into the dusk
Wondering ‘bout the knowledge
Once so easily lost
Sitting in their windows
Looking way out west
It’s not from where the sun came down
It’s where it lays to rest
Yes I know
That there in Arctica
I'm deep in sun
I know the way
Yes I was
Born in Africa
Mankind's home
For many years
I am lost
Fields of Arctica
The deepening sun
Shines on me
Candle in the doorway
Trembles in the wind
Reminds me of the things I was
And what I'll never be
Promise of a morning
Vanished with the light
I thought would be burning bright
Throughout the polar night
Yes I know that there in Arctica
I'm deep in sun, I know the way
Yes I was born in Africa
Mankind's home for many years
I am lost, fields of Arctica
The deepening sun shines on me

Universal Love
03:34
|
|||
We should live content in peace
Kill mankind's electric beasts
We should care about each other
Many sisters, many brothers
We were born to be free
So come with me
Just take my hand
We'll walk thru this land
We should breathe the rainbow air
Walk the fields without a care
Not like animals but friends
Of this planet in our hands
We were born to be free
So come with me
Just take my hand
We'll walk thru this land
And if tendencies of love overcome the shade of war
There’ll be place for freedom only in the universal soul
And if ideals that you worshiped kill the cosmos in your heart
Throw them out and start believing in the crystal clearance start
Of the feeling from above
Of the universal love
Of the feeling from above
Of the universal love
