ROADTRIP
Departure early in the morning
At the break of dawn navigating east
They were eager and curious
About what’s to come
At the snack bar right behind the border
They treated themselves to coffee and some sweets
And as the landscape was rushing by
They left everything behind
That’s when they fell
Out of time and space
Skipping history
Blending sceneries
At a record pace
Through the looking glass
They saw themselves
Standing by the sea
They danced to imaginary music
Played with the missing cards
And as the night fell down
They buried the crown
That’s when they fell
Standing in the fields

FUNNY SHAPED BALLOONS
I sprinkle little drops
Onto your rooftop
Slowly they’ll sink in
Until you like me
And funny shaped balloons
Throughout the afternoon
They will make you smile
Although you don’t like me
Our story hasn’t been an easy one
We never met on the same run
While you were walking in, I left the room
So it goes
When I was curious you were somewhere else
Searching for higher places
And when you came back
I was caught up in a dream
When I landed on your planet it was empty
Your radar system out of control
Your sun was shining when I just lowered my blinds
I wrap you up in thoughts of
Pine trees and mountain tops
And promise I’ll be ready for you to like me
Will you like me?

HOW IS YOUR WORLD TODAY
We met at a crossroad in springtime
Those were days of joy
I remember the sound of laughter
But when my bus arrived
We had to say goodbye
How is your world today?
Everything looks different I suppose
And what are you up to today
Do you sometimes think of me?
What‘s going on in your bubble?
Are your friends treating you kind?
Is there something growing in your garden?
What makes you happy?
What makes you sad?
Carefree days

HEAVENLY MADE
No honey on my fingertips
There seems to be no chocolate left for the cookies
The noodle stew tastes rather stale
Even the soup looks fairly pale
It’s a bore
And so I turn the radio on
They keep on playing the same song
I feel gritty
Blood and thunder in the news
I’m sinking deeper into blues
It’s a pity, oh my
Found no solution on the internet
I made it to the very end
Wondering
What all the colours and the blinking signs
Are trying to convince me of
Blinding
So I lace up my hiking boots
And take a long walk through the woods
Got the feeling
There must be something more
Heavenly made
Is a label I’d sure like to see
Open the gate and leave the earth behind
In a resurrection zeppelin
How is the day with the world to watch all submarine
Meanwhile here I’m back to square one

Exit Ahead

EXIT AHEAD
On top of the craziest wave
The captain screamed: hold on
No sighs, no caramel
Can save you from looking ahead
Ooh, ooh, ooh the water
Ooh, ooh, ooh the ebb and the flow
Row, row gently down the stream
Leave all these furious waves behind
With the drunken sailors
You know there‘s no turning back
Exit ahead
Beneath the skies and the sea
A little dot paddling on
That‘s me
I used to be disturbed
But now I‘m fancy free
Oh, oh, oh with the birds
Oh, oh, oh with clouds and the sunbeams
It‘s the same direction
With a different view
It‘s a single note that‘s changing

NATURALLY
You dig in the dirt
Try to find some words
Put them in a phrase
Set the house on fire
Let the bird on the wire sing
If it doesn‘t come naturally
You better leave it alone
Climb up on the roof
You‘ve got to prove
There is more to life
Take the fire escape
Let the bird in the cage sing

MEET THE HORNS
There is an ancient melody
Stuck in your soul
And if you listen carefully
You might be humming along
And there‘s this certain chemistry
When you tap your toe to the beat
`Cause when it all comes down to it
We‘re just the same
Up and down this universe
The sparkles in our ears
Make us want to join in
And oh, all around this globe
The melody it goes
And it keeps coming back

THE FOREST SONG
We live in the forest
Close to the river
The water runs deep
Every morning I start to recount the trees
Add and subtract
Put it in my diary
I go through all of this
After you left for the city
Only the sound of the passing planes
Reminds me of this world gone mad
If you only compare
Abstract and declare
Long enough
It might all make some sense
In the meantime, while the rooster crows
I‘m climbing up a hill
The smell of fire in the air
And the clouds
Couldn‘t pass soon enough
I‘m sitting down by the river
Watching the waves disappear

THE LAST NOTE
She used to be one of the wild ones
Played with the coolest cats in town
Now underneath the chandelier
Her silver hair, the evening gown
It was the last note
She would ever play
And she played it with all her might
It was the last line
She would ever cross
The fire had gone astray
Every phrase like an old friend
A little world within itself
But each story must come to an end
And so she picked up
For her final refrain
