Fast car 03:43
Sunset in the desert I am driving to fast I am living for the minute (living for the minute) A dusty cloud Is all that’s left from my past I am living for the minute (living for the minute) Straight ahead I’m the captain of this ship I don’t care about the rest (living for the minute) I don’t apologize I’m shooting from the hip I don’t care about the rest (living for the minute) I don’t solve my problems Just leave them all behind Don’t listen to advices Refuse to rewind I’ve got a fast car And I’m not afraid to push it Driving on the highway And I don’t look back I’ve got a fast car Ignore the red lights I don’t give a damn The limit’s not for me I am living for the minute (living for the minute) Go for what I want Choose the things I see I am living for the minute (living for the minute) I don’t chase my dreams Just let them come to me I don’t wait for miracles They know where I will be Chorus I’ve got a fast car Living for the minute... Chorus

I’ve got a problem Can someone help me out Wonder every night What life’s all about Searching for the answer What’s in it for me Dream about the future And how it’s going to be It’s you that make me happy I believe you when you say It’s me you’re thinking of Every day You give me the moments Of pleasure and delight Is it me you’re dreaming of Every night Searching for a treasure Can’t even find the map Join the conversations But it’s only crap Ask so many questions Looking for advice Waiting for a promise Afraid of all the lies Chorus
3.
Sometimes I wonder Is it worth all the pain A few stolen minutes Then lonely again Picking the crumbs From a rich mans floor Is not enough I want so much more I saw the good things I’m starving to death This hunger Takes my breath A feast in the castle Maybe nothing for me But however It’s there I want to be Why pick the silver When there is gold Why leave this story untold Want you for breakfast Want you for lunch Want you as snack Want you for brunch Want you for dinner In the candlelight Want you as coffee Want you as tea Want you to flow all over me Want you as my wine A toast to the night Sometimes the longing Is to hard to stand Our love comes to nothing Just prints in the sand Why stand in the line outside heaven When there’s a backstage pass to hell? Chorus Cut down on demands To be satisfied Did I say I like that? Well then I lied Chorus Let’s drink to the night

In my dreams 03:36
A lonely street light Reflections in the pools of water A rainy night An empty misty street Silent houses The windows look like black mirrors A lonely cigarette Glows in the dark In my dreams I search for you to share my secrets In my dreams I never sleep An empty pavement Shady business in the alley A lonely rambler Echoes of high heels A muffled noise Of music from suspicious bars A heavy suitcase An unknown destination In my dreams I wake you up from scary nightmares In my dreams I take you in my arms In my dreams I walk with you in flowering gardens In my dreams I never sleep Dogs are barking From a distance Moon is shining wild and sharp In my dreams I fly with you over the oceans In my dreams I hide you from the world In my dreams I drink with you the sweetest wine In my dreams I never sleep A desolate bell Tells me that the dawn is near I return To fragments of reality...

The room is spinning The radio’s out of tune Playing song from distant worlds in long forgotten tongues The world is slightly swaying a tremor underneath My skin is pricked by needles The air too thick to breath Ah and I wonder If I’ve got what I deserve Emotions under pressure in sickness and in health Undercover pleasures in poverty and wealth Voices without faces fills me up with fear Screaming in my head words I will not hear I’m still standing Infected from your love, I’m not falling I’m still standing Infected from your passion I refuse to fall Illusions on the walls Better safe than sorry Ignoring the calls no need to worry Just have to face the facts There’s no way of winning This must be the end or is it the beginning Ah and I wonder Does it have to be this painful Chorus The radio is on The radio is still on On and on, on and on, on

Addicted 03:41
I haven’t slept for days I need to get some rest I only got you on my mind Like someone that’s possessed One moment it is heaven The next is hell The only thing I know for sure Is that I’m under your spell Is there nothing I can do? I am Addicted to you There ain’t no drug There ain’t no cure There ain’t no hope But I’m sure No matter what you say or do I’ll be coming back to you I called the clinic I’ve got a poison in my veins Just give me any drug you’ve got That takes away the pain They said “For this poison there is nothing we can do There ain’t no cure for love And there ain’t no cure for you” I am Is there nothing I can do? I am Addicted to you Chorus
7.
Still 03:45
Lying here alone again Thinking about you Dream of all the things We’re never going to do We could let the winds take us up to higher skies We could let the angels show the way to paradise We could let the rain wash the tears out from our eyes But still we have to dance with the devil For a while Walk around in circles Sneaking like a thief Hiding in the darkness Never ever alone We could let the sun paint our silhouettes in gold We could tell the stories no one ever told We’ll pick up our lives and walk another mile But still we have to dance with the devil For a while Still we have to walk among the shadows in the night And still we’re on a road through the tunnel without light Still we have no answer to our knocks on heaven’s door Still we see no dawn can we take it anymore Anymore... We could let the colors shine like diamonds in our minds We could let the moonshine show the way when we were blind We could reach for heaven we could even touch the stars But still we have to dance with the devil For a while... Still we have to deal with the devil.

I checked into the room In your house of dreams Asked for the key To your house of dreams You said, “You don’t need a key love You can stay for free And if you are a good girl You might even visit me” I knew somehow it was too good to be true But I couldn’t resist I couldn’t resist that dream of me and you In that house of dreams I had a look around In your house of dreams And all the doors were locked In your house of dreams There were endless corridors And no one to be seen It seems to be a lonely place That house of dreams But the walls are thin And at night I can hear you scream In pain or of pleasure Who knows? Who knows what’s in you house of dreams More than me God knows I tried to escape I’ve tried to break free But I surrender now ‘Cause the only thing I see Is the inside of these walls In this house of dreams And so I’ve settled down In your house of dreams I’ve made myself comfortable In your house of dreams Somehow time just passes by Year after year And I feel no regrets And I feel no fear I only wish you visit me More often than you do I don’t like to dream alone I don’t like to dream without you In your house of dreams

Walk with me 03:35
Fire – Come here and walk with me Higher – Come here and fly with me Liar – Come here and cry with me Fire – Come here and burn Fire – Come feel the heat with me Fire – Come sail away with me Fire – Come here and die with me Fire – Come here and burn Flames are calling out my name Ready for the final game Walk with me in heaven Walk with me in... Fire – Come sell you soul with me Fire – Come shed your tears with me Fire – Come share the light with me Fire – Come here and burn Die without confess your sins Play without a chance to win Walk with me in heaven Walk with me in... Angels are crying Behind my back Demons are laughing And wish me luck Purgatory, walk through me Burning for eternity Live with me and die with me I’m going to stay here forever In a never dying light Glowing in an endless night Join me in the final fight And we can stay here forever Never have to fight again This will be my last refrain Walk with me in heaven Walk with me in hell

Stay 02:52
It’s dark outside and all is still and quiet I drive my demons out with wine And in the air A memory that lingers A scent that haunts my mind I wish you’d stayed a moment longer or forever ‘cause every time you go I fall apart I close my eyes And all I see is darkness A long and sleepless night I’m all lost in this labyrinth of my desire Is there a light to guide me home Chorus
11.
Fear 02:33
Fear So much fear I’m afraid So much fear in me I fear I love you I fear I don’t I fear I want you I fear you don’t But most of all I fear fear It’s the enemy of love Fear Pain So much pain I’m afraid So much pain in me I fear you hurt me I fear you don’t I fear I hurt you I fear you won’t But most of all I fear fear It’s the enemy of love Fear But most of all I fear fear It’s the enemy of love Is fear
12.
So much more 02:35
This is a story about a girl who loved a boy He was the world to her To him she was a toy He closed his eyes when he played the game of love He was never honest He just never lied So many worlds, side by side So many worlds that can collide They played in heaven, they played on earth They played in places of which no one had heard He was a God to her, and she was his queen Rulers of a universe No one else had seen Chorus So much more So much more This is a story without a happy end She wanted so much more And he could not pretend So now they dream their dreams of love apart In his tower built by fear In her well of tears Chorus
13.
I like it 03:15
Tried so many ways No improvement to see Candles and hypnosis Nothing for me Dabbed my skin with oils Scents of herbs all around Magnetic fields to my head No comfort I found Your fingers through my hair Make miracles to me Kisses on my eyes And suddenly I see Used to ask the crystal I convened the spirits Searched for any god Only demons appeared Heal me baby heal Come take my fears away Feel me baby feel Follow me to Wonderland Love me baby love Give me shelter under your spell Let me share your magic Follow me to hell And I like it Asked my cards again Magician showed his face Needles to my skin Lost in this maze Tried to meditate Relaxed in light of fire Your face among the flames Called back my desire Chorus
14.
Whispers 03:25
These days my dreams are silent whispers in my ear (Come close, come near, closer and listen) ‘Cause in that burst of static there’s something I want you to hear (Come close, come near, and listen, a whisper) I still want... A voice that never sleeps, that never rests, whisper in my ear (Come close, come near, closer and listen) Fading in and fading out, I wonder if you can hear (Come close, come near, and listen, a whisper) I still want... YOU!
15.
In Wonderland tonight Just me and my piano In Wonderland tonight Just me and my fear I wonder what you do I wonder what you dream of I wish that you were here In Wonderland with me But where ever you are Don’t pretend It’s all that I ask ‘Cause when the night falls You’re my guiding star Please, please don’t change Don’t pretend Just be what you are ‘Cause I love the man I love the man behind the mask In Wonderland tonight It’s dark and it’s cold In Wonderland tonight Only my demons laugh with me And if you look into the sky Is it the same moon as here? I just wish that you could see it In Wonderland with me Chorus Shine, shine on me I beg you, shine on me I’m all lost I can’t find my way So shine, like a star Just shine Chorus
