Partygirl is dancing
On a borrowed piece of ground
On a frozen lake in winter time
Morning comes
It's a cold uncertain chill
She's a blue piece
Of something in the air
She's just a blue piece
of something in the air
She's always drawing plans
For nights to come and raves
The dance is on and it makes her feel alive
But the days are getting longer
Just a useless waste of time
For a blue piece
Of something in the air
She's just a blue piece
Of something in the air
And there is something in the air
There is something in the air
She's just a blue piece
Of something in the air
She's just a blue piece
Of something in the air
And there is something in the air
There is something in the air

Birdsong
04:46
|
|||
Lilly's leaning in the window at the third floor
In the early morning
She's enchanted by the birdsong
A sip of hot black coffee
The quiet and the birdsong
Lilly's looking at the empty streets below
Where crowds of people use to rush on by
Past the sideshows and the busstop
Not this morning
They all have yielded the birdsong
Now that all the noise has died down
Now that all the noise has died down
So Lilly draws the windows open wide
She enchanted by the birdsong and the quiet
She is keeping all the windows open wide
So enchanted by the birdsong and the quiet
The sunlight paints the chimneys on the roof
Kaleidoscopic mirrors
All the windows at the front side of the houses
The larks have gathered
Starlings on the high wires and the swallows
They all join the birdsong
So Lilly draws the windows open wide
She enchanted by the birdsong and the quiet
She is keeping all the windows open wide
So enchanted by the birdsong and the quiet

Change your codes
Draw a line
Smash a mirror
Kill the time
Change your style
The color of your hair
Make yourself invisible
Vanish into thin air
Lock the doors
Refuse my calls
Instruct your friends
Let yourself be denied
You'd better not
You'd Better not
Forget me not
You had better not
You had better not
Forget me not
I am the witness
I was your confidant
We caught that craving
In moving pictures
Our juicy little secret
No strings attached
Shadows flickered
Down in a moonlit shed
Cries and whispers
And the lens was wide
You'd better not
You'd Better not
Forget me not
You had better not
You had better not
Forget me not

Blue Piece (Reprise)
01:51
|
|||
It must have been at the end of January
It was still cold, but not below zero
I was walking my friends dog in the early morning
I saw a young lady on this small frozen pond in the park
Across from the corner of our street
At first i thought that she was ice-skating
But I noticed, that she didn't wear skates
I fact she was dancing
Like in a club
Like to a fast beat
And she wasn't dressed like wintertime
She wore a short skirt
Indigo blue
I was wondering if the ice was still safe
Just for a moment i was distracted
By a noise from the other side of the street
The dog was startled
Then looking back in her direction
She wasn't there anymore
There was just some cold uncertain chill

Happiness

Happiness
I'll save it all for you
In the the afterglow
In the fading light
I'll keep it all for you
The seasons pass
Aimlessly
Just as the days
They go by and bye
Your happiness
Is safe with me
I'll keep it all for you
That smile of yours
So unique
I thought I'd recognised
Your face somewhere
In a crowded place
In the thick of it
But you disappeared
All without a trace

Intersection One

|

Revolve intersect collide
Revolve intersect collide
Revolve intersect collide
Revolve intersect collide
Time's up sweet utopia
The die is cast
And all your lights go down
One last hoorah for utopia
This brave new world
Is going to burst in one final blast

Number Forty-Five

Two-hundred-eighty digits Unicode
The battleground of number forty-five
He's a genius, blessed with mind and skill
So follow on and be the first to know
But when the sky is coming down on you
Who's the culprit
Who's to blame
Whom to force to pay the price
This is the age of number forty-five
This is the age of number forty-five
Communists and wicked godless pervs
The ruthless servants of the state within
They vandalize the glory of this land
But forty-five will call them to account
But when the sky is coming down on you
Who's the culprit
Who's to blame
Whom to force to pay the price
This is the age of number forty-five
This is the age of number forty-five

Space Junk
03:45
|
|||
Space junk is silently tumbling a course without aim
Sluggish and weightless and totally out of control
The remains of an impact adrift at the brink of all age
Condemned to outlast all the dreams of an infinite sleep
Yet a Long distance orbiter
Is solely transmitting an endless repeat
A song of our aim
A song of our heyday
A song of a long lost tribe
