Lyrics

1.
Hiroshima
There's a shadow of a man at Hiroshima
Where he passed the moon
In a wonderland at Hiroshima
Beneath the august moon
And the world remembers his face
Remembers the place was here

Fly the metal-bird to Hiroshima
And the way a load
Speak a magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode
And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was Hiroshima

And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was
Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Hiroshima

(Life May Be) A Big Insanity
Sun came up this morning
Broke into my room
I turned the tv on
The sun was red
I heard about the news
That turned me upside down

It's hard when you see it
There's torture and pain
I still have this feeling
There's something left to say

Life may be a big insanity
But love will conquer hate to all eternity
Don't you know
We are strong
Life may be a big insanity
But there is more to life than reality
Cause our hearts make us strong

Picking up the phone
The pictures always change
Children playin in the streets
Talking to somebody
I can only watch
Til I get on my feet

Dark times and mean crimes
They can't beat my dreams
The eyes of a child tell me
Something's left to say

Life may be a big insanity
But love will conquer hate to all eternity
Don't you know
We are strong
Life may be a big insanity
But there is more to life than reality
Cause our hearts make us strong
3.
Johnny Wanna Live
I got something on my mind
It makes me sad and makes me cry - oh no
Johnny wanna live

Just an ordinary day
An animal will pass away - oh no
Johnny wanna live

Who's to say he's got no rights
Even not a right to life
Don't know why it leaves you cold
Don't know how to make it show - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live

Got to give his skin away
For coats they wear on summerdays - oh no
Johnny wanna live

Beauty aid and all the rest
Come directly from a test - oh no
Johnny wanna live

Through his eyes I look inside his heart
He can feel like me and you
Can't defend himself cause he can't talk
And this is why I talk you

Johnny isn't just a name
He stands for every creature's pain - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live

Go and try to look inside his heart
You can find your own mistakes
Try to hide them thinking he can't talk
But he can read them in your face

I got something on my mind
It makes me sad
And it makes me cry - oh no
Let him live

Tell me why it leaves you cold
I swear I'm gonna make it show - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live

Lovelight in Your Eyes
I take the train
I don't know why
Maybe I
Simply don't wanna fly
Anymore

Every day
An endless dream
Of cigarettes and magazines
Well I'm
On the road

I wonder why
You didn't call today
Every time it rains
I start to pray

Show me how you're feelin
Show me no disguise
I am always dreamin
Of the lovelight in your eyes
I'm lonely in the morning
I lie awake at night
I am always dreamin
Of the lovelight in your eyes

I'm rollin on
Time goes by
I see my life
The sorrow left behind
Miss you so

You do me cold
I'm warm inside
You must know
That I can be alright
On my own

I wonder why
You didn't call today
Every time it rains
I start to pray

Show me how you're feelin
Show me no disguise
I am always dreamin
Of the lovelight in your eyes
I'm lonely in the morning
I lie awake at night
I am always dreamin
Of the lovelight in your eyes

One More Night
One more night
One more night with you
Close your eyes I'll give you my love
One more night
One more night with you
Please hold me once again
Cause I love you

Here I stand
And I can't even cry
My heart is breakin up inside
You say goodbye
Found somebody new
Wherever you go
I'll be with you

One more night
One more night with you
Hear me now I can't let you go
One more night
I'll open my heart to you
Please hold me once again
Cause I love you

Before you leave
Just take me in your arms
And let me feel you once again
Can't help myself
I still depend on you
Whatever you do
I'll be with you

One more night
One more night with you
Close your eyes I'll give you my love
One more night
One more night with you
You know how long it gonna last
It's up to you
I wanna hold you once again
Cause I love you
6.
The Skin I'm In
People say
I need a new direction
People say
That I won't last

People change
Opinions with their dresses
I have learned
How to protect

I don't need
To run for cover
Always feel
Like I am home

I don't care
What people think
It's just because
I like the skin I'm in
Come what may
My love is true
It's double shelter
When I'm with you

Can't deny
You're scared of their reaction
Just understand
What's on my mind

My only fear
Is love won't last forever
Come over here
And look me in the eye

You don't need
To run for cover
Make you feel
Like you are home

I don't care
What people think
It's just because
I like the skin I'm in
Come what may
My love is true
It's double shelter
When I'm with you

I don't care
What they might think
Can't leave you
Can't leave the skin I'm in
Come what may
You must be true
We stick together
Cause I'm in you

You see
People can do you no harm
Do you feel
The way I feel
Safe in your arms

Paintings in Yellow
I see a shining ocean
I see a sky so blue
I see a world in motion
Can you see this too?

A little piece is dyin
A little piece in you
Why don't you understand
Life is in your hands
See the dream I have

Paintings in yellow
Keep shinin in my mind
Don't know why
I just don't know why you're blind
Paintings in yellow
Keep shinin in my heart
Don't know how
But I try to make you see

I feel a warm wind blowin
I feel the sun and rain
I feel the beauty we live in
Do you feel the same?

For the love that I'm feelin
I rely and I count on you
Why don't you understand
The world is in your hands
Can you hear me call

Paintings in yellow
Keep shinin in my mind
Don't know why
I just don't know why you're blind
Paintings in yellow
Keep shinin in my heart
Don't know how
But I try to make you see

Hear me - feel me

The Journey
a. Cold Out Here

Darkness forever
Neverending night
Flame in the ashes
Water turns to ice
Oh it's cold out here
It's cold out here


b. I'm Alive

Wake up to the break of day
Wake up from a dream
World outside is dark and grey
No one in the streets
Can you hear me
I'm alive

Don't know where you've been last night
Don't know where to go
I hope that you're alright
Walk an endless road
Can you see me
I'm alive
Can you hear me
I'm alive


c. Paintings

Paintings in yellow
Sun in the night
Dream of life
Will this dream come true some day
Paintings in yellow
Believe me when I say
Don't know how
But I try to make you see


d. Come Alive

Dreamin the impossible
Cryin for the moon
I keep the dream alive
I know you'll learn this too
Can you see me
Come alive
Can you hear me
Come alive


e. The End

Darkness is over
Light is in your eyes
I hear your laughter
Lyin by your side
Won't be cold in here
Won't be cold in here
