Like Always

just today
i heard you say
we still run
straight into the sun
todays days
are kind of strange
for everyone
(even) the nightwatch comes undone
but love is still
like a psychedelic pill
in a lovers mind
it leaves the time behind
and this is the way we get through
like always
highs and lows
the daily dose
of everyday lives jam
we share the spoon and we slam
the black and white thinking grows
it's tres chick to think in absolutes
but we seldom pay hommage to
the ragged social fashion guru
our dance still has a different kind of buzz
like always
and all the black holes of confusion suck in all the brighter glades
but we survivers still wink at the sun with sunglasses on from day to day
like always

Sunchild

saw you stumble along on an empty field
jumping over all the black holes of pandemic fears
filled with the collateral damage
no empty gaps
it’s not easy to find a direction
when the world turns mad
when the whole world turns mad
don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild
the moment you see the horizon it starts to slip away
get your head up into the clouds to light your way
saw you dancing along on an empty field
chased by pandemic rabbits
but we are better in hitting the hook
so it seems
don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days

All That It Takes
03:53
|

|
hey nikos, hand over another drink please
you know i lost my cigarettes somewhere in time
and now we're here for another psychedelic dream pop gem
served like a cosmopolitan anthem
we're hanging around here like the knights of the round table
but we enjoy the music and the drinks while the night is passing by
and if you ask me what you can do to be part of it
i tell you
just be an open minded guy
this is all that it takes
to be here with you - in nagual
all that it takes
we built an
invisible wall against the drabness and the stubborness and all those
stuff
we're surrounded by
commerce to the left and music for the masses to the right
and if you really have in mind to join our enclave of the last spartans
just be an open-hearted guy
this is all that it takes
to be here with you - in nagual
all that it takes

What We Always Wanted
04:00
|
|||
|
open the book with all your dreams
your never lived hidden sunbeams
if tommorow is yesterday
how do we look back at all the time we wasted away
never bend
never blind
always in clash with the zeitgeist
always ahead of the life dices
That's what we always wanted

C'est La Vie
03:20
|
|||
|
the streets behind us have often seen a come and go
and sometimes we feel incomplete
but the reason we don’t know
till the right one says hello
when you at east expect it
c’est la vie
keep going
c’est la vie
coming close and drifting back
in endless meaningless affairs
but it’s the soul without disguise
who joins you creepin‘ up the backstairs of life
when you at least expect it
c’est la vie
keep going
c’est la vie
we strollin‘ on
c’est la vie

Will You Find Me
05:51
|
|||
|
you fill up my senses
and you fill up my mind
i know you are somewhere out there
you try to make your way in the darkest night
and the eternal snake sent me down and so
i wait for you to take my hand in yours
you; will you find me
you; will you find me
don't turn around, just feel my soul
and i, i'm with you
don't have no doubt
you; will you find me
you; will you find me
don't turn around
don't have no doubt
you; will you find me
you; will you find me
you; will you find me
don't give away the chance we have

Yellow Rose

I picked a yellow rose
with the smell you loved
and placed it near the marble stone
i picked a yellow rose
guess you will see it from where you are
it’s a fragile sign of
love
i hear your laughter all around
i see your smile in the clouds
i almost feel you touch my hand
someone we love does not leave us in the end
i picked a yellow rose
guess you will see it from where you are
it’s a fragile sign of
love
i picked a yellow rose
it’s a fragile sign of love

Already Came To Know
03:20
|
|||
|
you are my favourite catastrophe
and i‘m addicted to your smile
and on our flight through life i claim to have seen
even the destiny smiles from time to time
we‘re taking off of cloud nine and we jump
sometimes we land on our feet
cause our airplane is made out of gum
and hand in hand we can’t be beat
and you know the reason why
you make me feel so high
you are my girl
i already came to know
that you‘re my mirror in highs and lows
a match oft two stubborn heads
and in days where the battery is low
you bring me coffee in bed
and you know the reason why
you make me feel so high
you are my girl
i already came to know
how much i love you

good evening mr. perry, i hear you sing the blues
you are a bit down today, but don't forget
we always have been fools
like david versus goliath, we are limited but cool
we’re just an indie rock band
always on the loose
no record contract and no budget,
no plastic music to get fooled
killed by the radio drabness,
we were reborn in our multicolored shoes
our currency is passion, our brand is a distorted chord
we are not dealing with the mainstream
being authentic - this is what we are
don't let you down
and get off the ground
life is an opera
behind the curtain we all are stars
good evening mr perry, we understand the rules
we‘re just a niche product between all the glossy brochures
of the music industry
we won’t change our attitude
we’re just an indie rock band
always on the loose
