If you take my hand
I'll know you care
If you call my name
I will be there

You wouldn't have to know
I wouldn't have to tell you
Having much to say
I will find a way

Sensation
Perfection
Much harm with no intention
Secrets to explain
Seduction
Instructions
Some black and white attractions
Let's start and then?

Standing in the dark
Shadows, red and blue
I've been watching everyone
Especially you

I couldn't help you out
I should have made you happy
Well, it's not the same
It's another game

Sensation
Perfection
Ten films, one location
Silence to explain
Seduction
Instructions
No script or safe construction
Let's try again
There's another set of lies
Right behind you
Do you dare to fantasize?

I know it isn't clear
I think you know I'm sorry
Having not much space
I will find the place

Sensation
Perfection
Safe sex with no protection
Nothing to explain
Seduction
Instructions
Good vibes but no production
Let's try ?
Arrivals
Departures
Explaining far, strange structures
So hard to understand
Some questions
Some orders
No heart and just two shoulders
Is this the end?

Something was wrong
and we knew it all along

Am I your ?Big Mama??
Am I your sister to be?
Can?t you guess that for me...
That we...
Am I your ?Dear Anna??
Are you just a charmer, like me?
Explain it to me
How we...
How we...

Are you my lover to be?
Do you feel guilty, like me?
How on earth can it be?
Are we...
Well, do you suffer like me?
Or would you rather feel free?
Is it you? Is it me?
Will we...
Will we?

Wish I could fly
I promise not to try and touch the sky
I?ll be so careful you won?t see that I am falling

The earth below is waiting for everyone to hit the ground
Too many people all around are calling.
They?re falling.

Above the world I keep on flying, watching all my dreams
From way up there they seem so near
Through drops of rain you?ll hear me crying
Diving with the wind
Afraid the sun might burn my wings

55

Sunshine coming as moonlight leaves
Yellow flowers are on their knees
Tired birds and delighted trees
Curious cats find it hard to breath
They forgot how much fun it is

Everybody close your eyes
You will hear the princess sigh
As her prince is up the stairs
Shows his endless love to her

Come and join us everyone
"The Amazing Mr. John!"
Can you see what's he's standing on?
Now you see it, now it's gone

Everybody clap your hands
Raise your arms above your head
Wave your fingers in the air
It's the (greatest/)strangest of all fairs

You'll touch things that are never there
Although you've seen them everywhere

Would you like to come with me
You could find your own fantasy
Magic kingdoms across the sea
All your dreams will be running free
You'll be screaming in ecstasy

Windy nights and afternoons
With the stars, the sun and moon
In a red and bright baloon
We will come to take you soon

Surrounded by the cloud you live in
I can't control this love you're feeling
You're looking at me
So why don't you see
That I'm gonna break your broken heart
And if you think I?m that amazing
You must be crazy
Officially

Don't let me do this to you
Don't help me ruin you
Don?t

Surrounded by the cloud you live in
I can't control this love you're feeling
You're looking at me
So why don't you see
That I'm gonna break your broken heart
And if you think I?m that amazing
You must be crazy
Officially

You're gonna hate me so
You're gonna come and go
You're gonna come - and go
I won't let you see how good it could be with me

Don't let me do this to you
Don't help me ruin you
Don't let me do this to you
Don't help me ruin you
No, I won't wrap my arms around you
No

57

There's another place I could be
Whisper where it can be found
Shout the way away out of you
And I won't hear a sound

If you hear what I think, tell me who to look up to
If you see how I feel, show me

Try and show me another way to love you

There's another past I could live
Where I would have made you disappear
You know you can't always forgive
But try hard not to interfere
If you hear what I think, tell me who to look up to
If you see how I feel, show me what you're going through
If you know what I dream, don't make it all so clear
If you feel what I feel, hold me

Try and show me another way to love you

Try to find me again
Come close, and show me the pain
Please try and find me the same
Be nice and drive me insane

Up inside the halls of my mind
I'm inhaling all this darkness through me
Look at me, there's nothing to see
Do you really know who to be?

Come near
Let me hear it wasn't in vain
You're here
Look, that space is right behind me
Hear those sounds, they're all around me

Somewhere else, not faraway
You can smell all sorts of flowers growing
Part of me is waiting to see
Will I really look out there for me?

Don't go
Don't move before I know who I am
Don't leave

Look, that space is right behind me
Hear those sounds, they're all around me
Smell those flowers growing in me

46

Close your eyes now
Let your mind float inside you
Say Good Night now
Even though it's really hard for you

Take my hand now
I?ll touch your hair now
Don?t cry, just dream away

Close the door I'm coming through
Try to sleep, I'll be waiting for you
In the darkness now
Hold you for a while

In your dreams you?re so faraway
In your nights I am standing here alone
Watching you

I?ll watch your face now
Touch your hair
And let you dream away

103

Love is always around here somewhere
Gently it's trying to blind me
Fun is sitting outside over there
Watching me from not too far away
The man inside me is dying to tell
Important things that I would never dare
My mind's considering heaven or hell
I'm looking for something nice to say
While holding you in such a special way

Why Is it hard to see the worst in me?
How do I run and hide away from me?

If the pieces could fall into place
I bet it would make you happy
I guess my silence is leaving no trace
But I will ignore you anyway
While holding you in such a special way

Why Is it hard to see the worst in me?
How do I run and hide away from me?
Now?

Hold back your thoughts, they must be running
Trace the tracks of what was never-land
Staring at you I see you trying
To turn around

On your way home there is not much to see
You?ll be thinking of me

Crawl back inside and watch me fighting
Say all you dare - beware of freezing me
Pack up your things and leave me crying
Or change my mind

On your way home there is not much to see
You?ll be thinking of me
Nothing around you will help you cry or breathe
Close your eyes now

Start avoiding, exposing, explaining, caressing
Try complaining, addressing,
some thinking or shouting
Why can?t you see I am the only one?
Take your time.

On your way home...
You?ll be thinking of me
Something about you cannot make you understand me
Are you ready to deceive?

54

So you thought you had me
How could you think you could get away?
Don?t you care to see me go?
If you don?t want me to leave - just say
But I?m still not sure I?ll stay

She's around the corner - can't you smell her?
?Cause I do, and it?s too hard to bear
It?s not always good to share
Second should come after first, you know
Maybe you?re the one to go
