TUNES FOR THE TAKIN' - TUNES FOR THE TAKIN' (Lyrics written by Catherine Klier and Klaus Michel) Ikarus (part 2) What a power it takes You leave me on the ground While you're moving too fast You leave me paralized behind Reminding me how helpless we are Never knew where I've tumbled in I gave you the sweetest thing But where are you now my dear? Where are you now? With your head held high Without feet on the ground The sun melted the wax And you fell down It's the sadest thing I've ever seen Don't be so sure of yourself Yeah, I told you how to fly That was my sin I'm afraid you thought it was a competition Between you and me I saw you falling down Yeah, I saw you falling down With your head held high Without feet on the ground The sun melted the wax And you fell down You leave me on the ground While you're moving too fast You leave me paralized behind Reminding me how helpless we are Never knew where I've tumbled in I gave you the sweetest thing But where are you now my dear? Where are you now? With your head held high Without feet on the ground The sun melted the wax And you fell down With tears in my eyes I buried you On a foreign island What will I be without you? Don't tell me Phone is ringing, you call me up Though I didn't ask you for You tell me something, 'bout my life That I'm trying to ignore And the time flies Still it's nigging and nagging Inside of me Now I'm sure what your intention was When you try to frighten me Don't tell me 'bout my future! Don't tell me 'bout my life! Don't tell me 'bout my lover! Don't tell me anything! Don't! Don't tell me what I have done in the past Your words cut deep like knives Don't tell me! Just stay out of this Don't tell me anything! Don't! Damn you, I hate you, more than I ever did before ... I wonder why you're still calling in at my house? I wonder why you never wondered? Yes I'm sure what your intention was That day ... Don't tell me 'bout my future! Don't tell me 'bout my life! Don't tell me 'bout my lover! Don't tell me anything! Don't! Don't tell me what I have done in the past Your words cut deep like knives Don't tell me! Just stay out of this Don't tell me anything! Don't! Don't tell me! Wake up! I wanna give you a lesson You never had in life Free your mind and have no reservations Tomorrow comes even without you ... Tomorrow comes even without you ... So let's run down to the end of the road Let us make some noise It's funny watching them when they watch us I hate to be at home tonight We're breaking the spell We're living too fast We're breaking the spell We're dying too young Wake up! Sleeping beauty Wake up! And dance with me Wake up! Sleeping beauty Wake up! And dance with me Don't be so cautious It's now and here Where we are Wake up! Sleeping beauty Wake up! And dance with me Wake up! Sleeping beauty Wake up! And dance with me Higher (Instrumental) Thoughts Well, where am I now? Seems like I'm just in the middle of nowhere? I stopped counting hours 'Cause time doesn't exist Time is created by human I need to free myself from all human laws I need to break with science and religion I search for the origin of all that surrounds me So, you see, it's really hard to explain where I am now I don't want to use your words And, as you know, it's time It's time - or whatever this thing is called To get up and go Do you remember last winter? That really cold, cold winter? Sure, you can! I need to break with science I need to break with religion I need to free myself from all human laws I need to break with science I need to break with religion I search for the origin of all that surrounds me So, you see, it's really hard to explain where I am now I don't want to use your words And, as you know, it's time It's time - or whatever this thing is called To get up and go Do you get it? Thoughts floating Liquidly (they are) surrounding me Thoughts floating Liquidly (they are) surrounding me Days were very short, like today It got dark very early So we used to sit on the floor, drinkin' coffee Discussing You see, I'm out of this You see, I'm out of this You see, I'm out of this You see, I'm out of this Maybe I found the right way Can you hear these invisible waves Roarin' at the shore of that new age? Roarin' at the shore of that new age? Thoughts floating Liquidly (they are) surrounding me Thoughts floating Liquidly (they are) surrounding me Thoughts floating ... Thoughts floating Liquidly (they are) surrounding me Thoughts floating Liquidly (they are) surrounding me Film 1 Walkin' to the water but Instead of myself I only see your face My fingertips touching the surface Your eyes disappear in little circles What I couldn't understand is Why you did go without a word for me You left me in such a mess Without a chance to recognize I'm free I feel that there something new is starting I feel that there's something new again I feel that there something new is starting That makes me whole again Screaming at the ocean but The waves grow bigger? Roaring back at me ... But a soul will grow by challenge too I clear my mind that mesmerizes me Your shadow's fading day by day And I'm hungry for a second life - like this I feel that there something new is starting I feel that there's something new again I feel that there something new is starting That makes me whole again Care Care 'bout all that you love And care 'bout all that you fear Save all of your believings And save all of your dreams Go, whereever you want And try out, everything's allowed Feel all of your feelings And heal all you can heal Change Don't you sit down and wait It'll only make you frail Don't loose what you're living for Indifference will only make you poor Change But stay the same Reach out for tomorrow But sacrify today And take all you can get Tear off all commandments I you can't obey And if you change one time I hope that you'll stay the same Change But stay the same Thrilling Lying in my bed I feel I can cope with sin It doesn't seem to be as bad as they say, no Well, it's certainly nice dying this way everyday I'm turning myself inside out and move a bit closer I don't where I am And I don't know where I wanna be I'm caught in this moment of sensualitiy I'm wishing it never ends? It never ends ... And it's thrilling And it's hurting And it's chilling my heated soul No romance, no love I'm collecting sins of all different kinds When I'm drifting through the days Nothing's built to last So I forgot the past, only living for today I don't know where I am And I don't know where I wanna be ... Realizing that even good hearts change with time So I try to be bad 'cause I know that makes me feel fine Before closing the door I risk a look back on my toy Before you could know me, I know that I'll leave you, boy No romance, no love or other depressive moods We meet and we leave, feels like deep breathing in and out We keep what we fear to ensure it won't harm us no more But I fear what I kept and I'm in slow motion to let it out I don't where I am And I don't know where I wanna be I'm caught in this moment of sensualitiy Wishing it never ends? It never ends ... I'm turning my head but my eyes are too slow Feels like I'm moving under water I'm breathing liquid air and a subdued pounding reaches my ears I don't know where I am (And it's thrilling, and it's hurting) And I don't know where I wanna be (And it's chilling my heated soul) The Crowd I'm so afraid of getting lost in the crowd I'm so afraid of watching myself disappear It took me so long being just a little proud So it's hard for me to let it go Loosing life I'm loosing ... These little moments that carry my name Will they ever light up the deepest dark? I'm so afraid of getting lost in the crowd Getting lost between millions of faces It took me so long being just a little proud Well it's hard for me to let it go Loosing life I'm loosing life I'm ... These little moments that carry my name Will they ever light up the deepest dark? I'm into something I'm full of fear Well it's hard for me to let it go I woke up in an empty room With walls, which are made of paper Without a door, without a window And I wanted to get out I found a lighter in my pocket And so I burnt down this cage I'm so afraid of getting lost in the crowd I'm so afraid of watching myself disappear That's all (my love) When you know all about me, all about love When you compare, its jealousy In the light of love I've found a way, in the distance That's all, my love That's all, my love You're not confident, about your thoughts You take all you can, in your gentle way Eyes shut, miles away And I'm released from my old desire That's all, my love That's all, my love It's all? My love? That's all, my love That's all, my love That's all, my love That's all, my love Leave me or not, it's already done ... You think that you'll get it all, just remember ... That's all, my love That's all, my love That's all, my love That's all, my love Sailing to prison (Instrumental) (c) all rights reserved
