this afternoon i really understood
i saw her sitting by the fountain next to that guy
hand in hand and it didn't feel good
my heart stood still and i felt that i could cry
i don't think she has seen me walking
i'm sure she wouldn't have expected
i only saw a glimpse and they both were talking
in a way that can't be called affected
i walked away because i needed some fresh air
outside i saw a crazy man talking to himself
he laughed at me and everybody stared
"at least that man was happy" i was saying to myself
about ten minutes later i was they were together
walking hand in hand like a sad old couple
i turned around again, i thought it would be better
not to meet him face to face, avoiding needless trouble
maybe i'm a coward as i hate the confrontation
with the pain i might have caused to this lucky pair
i felt like the fifth wheel and maybe it's frustration
but maybe next time it's me and her sitting there
hit by lightning
hit by a truck
ready for fighting
ready to fuck
time for a heatwave
time for a shower
time to behave
at least for an hour
electricity in the sky
electricity in the air
electricity in her eyes
electricity everywhere
factor love?
fact or fiction
not enough?
not addiction
electricity in the sky
electricity in the air
electricity in our eyes
electricity everywhere
i'm driving in my car
and it's getting dark
i don't want to go home
don't want to be alone
i wish she was still here
i nearly shed a tear
after miles and miles
and stereo up to nine
i returned to my place
considering the ways
of telling her my pain
in this adulterous game
which led us to a bigger mess
i love her i confess
it's almost 3am
eight journals over again
can't switch off my tv set
don't have the strenght to crawl to bed
a piece of paper and a pen
all i do is wondering when
wondering when how and why
she dunno neither do i
in a few hours it's time for work
why on earth i've been a jerk
maybe i just tried too hard
or she must have a second heart
i got only one to give
set me free i wanna live
yesterday she was with me
a dream turned reality
luck is often far away
i never hoped for her to stay
i whispered "girl i love you
do you love me too?"
she nervously said "i do" but why
did i think she was about to cry
and then i touched her face with my fingertips
she was paralyzed and didn't part her lips
she heard a different song
where did i go wrong
the focal point of my dreams
can never fit into my schemes
but that sure does not explain
why i got this indeep pain
tearing up my unchained heart
a kiss could've been a true reward
still no guilt and conscience clear
i hate to lose a love so near
my woman wears the pants
when i'm not wearing any
i got only two commands
oh boy she's got so many
she's the devil in disguise
when she's got her mask
she treats men like mice
if they've got something to ask
"do as you're told"
"by your command"
my woman's tiny and small
but she's got everything to say
i know duty calls
when she shouts "time to play"
my woman wants to be pleased
every day of the year
twice a day is the least
then i won't have to fear
close your eyes
open your mind
and think about the man
you were trying to find
close your eyes
open your heart
you'd better hurry
it'll tear you apart
close your eyes
don't be afraid
if you see the stranger
standing at your gate
close your eyes
open your arms
and hold him close to you
indulge in his charms
close your eyes
don't fall asleep
you might not notice him
when he's at your feet
close your eyes
don't you forget
about the dreams and
the times you've spent in bed
i won't let you go
i did it once before
i won't let it happen again
you are worth waiting for
i used to know a lovely girl
we both were so much in love
although she was with another boy
it was me she was dreaming of
and still i let her go
cuz i believed her stupid story
she lacked the strength to choose for me
and i let her go, i'm sorry
i won't let you go
i did it once before
i won't let it happen again
you are worth waiting for
she lives at the other side of day
in a spooky house so far away
i wish she were here sitting on my lap
maybe she's standing by my door
but she won't come in anymore
between us appeared a bottomless gap
guess i'm still waiting
no time for hating
no chance for dating
waiting
for my woman
waking up by her side
making love all night
i'd hold her in my arms; i hope for better
so i can reach out and touch
i still love her very much
i wish we could spend the night together
if you are sure that there's love after death
why should i worry about dying
if you are sure that something's there instead
why should i fear it if you're lying
if you are sure that i can meet you over there
you can do what you like and i don't care
if you are sure that i'll always be your friend
why should i fear the day i'll die
if you are sure that you'll love me 'til the end
why should i worry 'bout years passing by
if you are sure that you will come back to me
then i can leave behind this life of misery
i'll see you again
in 88 years
you're gonna be 125
in 88 years
why don't you
realize
that beauty lies
in the viewer's eyes
you think you're ugly
cuz that's what you've been called
if someone doesn't like you
you believe it's your own fault
i know you're pretty
and i don't think i'm blind at all
i'm as shy and insecure
as you are; don't you hear my call
why don't you
realize
that beauty lies
in the viewer's eyes
setzer is a sissy
such a prissy missy
no more boppin', mr. stiff
a mirror as a friend
who'll betray him in the end
like dorian gray and his quiff
his gretsch feels uncanny
and his quiff is like his fanny
fragile and hurt too often
always losin' his voice
always bruisin' the toys
for his wigs already in his coffin
brian brian
what is that on your head
is it still alive
and can it still be fed
brian brian
what's hanging down your face
is it really yours
or just a quiff from outer space
