The Silence of the Shark
03:29
|
|||
|
Alone in the blue sea,
The water deep and dark
Nobody else but me
In the kingdom of the shark
No chance to hear him coming
Too late you feel his bite
It makes no sense to struggle
You cannot win this fight
Far in the ocean deep and dark
You hear the silence of the shark
The silence of the shark
The silence of the shark
The silence of the shark
Oh can't you see his shadow
White jaws out of the blue
You drift here in his meadow
He's coming just for you
Far in the ocean deep and dark
You hear the silence of the shark
The silence of the shark
The silence of the shark
The silence
Silence

Virgin Margarita
03:16
|

|
My hands are warming up my Virgin Margarita,
I ‘m just trying to make a world without you a little sweeter,
But all sugar I ingest hardly changes anything,
So I poor in some tequila to remove this aching sting
From the middle of my heart, from the middle of my heart
Later I decided to omit all sweet ingredients,
Sweet taste exactly not describes how this story ends!
Sometimes simply sea salt, green lemon and tequila,
Have a significantly higher potential to heal you from your pain.
From your pain, from your pain, from your pain
Then I skipped the minerals and the vitamins,
Directly used the bottle to rinse, rinse, rinse,
To rinse my throat, to rinse the pain, to rinse my watery eyes,
To rinse you out of my mind and hope you won’t arise.
Won’t arise, won’t arise, won’t arise

We Lost It All
03:08
|

|
You and me,
Me and you.
There is nothing
We can do.
The waves were gone,
But came back tall.
Now, from their peak is where we fall.
We lost it all,
We lost it all,
And from deep down, I hear you call,
You call my name,
You call my name,
We lost it all, no one 's to blame.
You and me,
Me and you.
Black became
What once was blue.
The sun sank down
The night crawled in
And we drawn without moving
We lost it all,
We lost it all,
And from deep down, I hear you call,
You call my name,
You call my name,
We lost it all, no one 's to blame.

Just follow the path to the river
Then follow the path down the field
From there you follow the scent
Of orange blossoms and corpses,
And some secrets shall be revealed.
Your mummy and daddy will be there,
And your little sister, too.
However, they’ll look somewhat different,
Than when they last caressed you.
The orange trees are in full bloom now,
And bees they’ll hum busily,
Ignore them, kid, look for the fat flies,
And you’ll find your family.
And you’ll find your family.
Just follow the path to the river
Then follow the path down the field
From there you follow the scent
Of orange blossoms and corpses,
And some secrets shall be revealed.
The sound of the whispering river
Blends in with the hum of the bees
While you ask who to blame for this,
You’ll break down to your knees.
When you’ll start to tremble and shiver
You will be ready for me
Without you I could never finish
Your beautiful family tree, this beautiful family tree.
Just follow the path to the river
Then follow the path down the field
From there you follow the scent
Of orange blossoms and corpses,
And some secrets shall be revealed,
And some secrets shall be revealed,
And some secrets shall be revealed

Who else if not God gave you this pair of breasts?
Who else if not God then created the rest?
Legs long enough to outreach the sky,
And that you are His masterpiece no one can deny.
And He endowed you with warm smooth lips,
But I was made by Satan of your ribs,
I was made by Satan of your ribs,
Yeah I am made by Satan of your ribs!
Your eyes are black diamonds in the moon's shining light
Your teeth perfectly even and brilliant white
Your hair - it smells like wild-flowers and hay
One smile of you turns the blackest night into day
I'm begging for salvation while I weep,
For I was made by Satan of your ribs,
I was made by Satan of your ribs,
Yeah I am made by Satan of your ribs!

Monsters & Bitemarks
03:12
|
|||
|
A monster keeps hiding behind my back
Every morning I envision bitemarks on my neck
But when I gaze in the mirror there is nothing to see,
No monsters, no bitemarks, but the naked me.
Take care my love, cause there is a monster,
Take good care my love or you’d better run,
I can keep it down for short but when it wants to,
It’ll eat your fragile soul just for fun.
And when it steps forward you ain't got no place to hide,
You'd better not tease it, just be brave and polite,
Give it a kiss on the lips but never show it your tears,
Just pretend that you smile, don't stare back when it leers.
Take care my love, cause there is a monster,
Take good care my love or you’d better run,
I can keep it down for short but when it wants to,
It’ll eat your fragile soul just for fun.

Killed by a Tram
02:45
|
|||
|
A bright summer day, sunshine in my face,
I talked to a friend ‘bout some new things in space,
I told him “goodbye” and thought of bread and jam
One second later I was killed by a tram.
Sometimes it happens that you’re killed by a tram,
No matter if you’re Jonathan or Mary-Ann.
Just one time you forget to look left and right
One step later a tram turns out your light.
Since I have been killed I think of bread and jam,
I never will have breakfast as usual again.
The sky was still blue on this lovely day
But I felt so alone, ‘cause the tram went away.
Sometimes it happens that you’re killed by a tram,
No matter if you’re Jonathan or Mary-Ann.
Just one time you forget to look left and right
One step later a tram turns out your light.
My friend turned right home, couldn’t find me anymore,
‘Cause I looked quite different as I did before.
My body on the rails, it looked like bread and jam –
I just had to notice I was killed by a tram.
Yeah sometimes it happens that you’re killed by a tram,
No matter if you’re Jonathan or Mary-Ann.
Just one time you forget to look left and right
One step later a tram turns out your light.

Naked in Heaven
04:57
|

Woke up naked in heaven,
Must have died at eleven,
Yesterday night
Just the wind whistles loud
I’m on my little white cloud,
And things seem alright.
Looking down to my middle
It’s a totally riddle
Why my dick seems swollen and blue...
First I blamed the pollution,
But then came the solution
The reason - it was you!
Angels are passing me by,
I shortly wonder why they grin,
Guess they think I am rude
‘Cause I don’t wear no suit,
Just white skin.
I remember last night,
When I lay by your side,
I can still taste the lips that I kissed,
I went to higher spheres and I left you in tears,
Since I was on the grim reaper’s list.
Too much much love,
Too much emotion,
My heart was far to much in motion
We made love like we were mad,
Now I’m dead
And you’re sad,
This is just the price we paid.
I woke up naked in heaven,
Must have died at eleven,
Yesterday night

I’m on my little white cloud,
And things seem alright.

First I blamed the pollution,
But then came the solution

And you’re sad,

Mr. Charles Suicide Bar
05:28
|
|||
|
Last night my darling left me, now life makes no more sense,
But I heard about Charly and so I made my plans.
After my last toilet-session I went to confession
And then I had a beer with my best friend.
I gave the dog to my brother and wrote a letter to my mother:
"Dear mommy, everything went out of hand!
I won't come back, dear Ma',
‘Cause I'm in Suicide Bar,
I've got a job for Mr Charles and his babies."
They make your last wish true,
They really care about you.
And the sign says: "Enter Heaven with Our Ladies"
Ms Karen brings your last beer, your last chance to burp loud,
The metal cup is wired, you'll die without a shout.
Fiona sells the cigarettes, stuffed with dynamite,
You watch her while your head bursts, she’s naked in the light.
So each of Charlie's ladies offers her specialty,
They'll blow away your sorrows, they work to set you free.
But the most wanted dead, is to come to Susan's bed
And to get the poison drink from her hand.
You can slurp it from her tits, then, when you'll get your final itch,
Believe me, you can f*#k her 'till the end...
I won't come back, dear Ma',
‘Cause I'm in Suicide Bar,
I've got a job for Mr Charles and his babies."
They make your last wish true,
They really care about you.
And the sign says: "Enter Heaven with Our Ladies"
Now I'm on my way, on this lovely day, to Mr. Charles' bar,
I see grass, I see trees,
Hear the birds and hear the bees,
The end is not too far...
I'm opening the door, Mr. Charles lets me in
And asks me:"My dear friend, are you ready to begin?
You want to end your life, today Ms Susan is your drive.
Just leave your money here and knock on number 5!"
Oh no, what happens here, something I can't believe,
Oh God, why did you punish me with such pain and grieve?
This Susan ’s not just any girl, no, she's my little darling,
Now I know why she left me, she is working here, for Charly!
I won't come back, dear Ma',
‘Cause I'm in Suicide Bar,
I've got a job for Mr Charles and my baby
They make your last wish true,
They really care about you.
And his last words:
"Never trust your sweet young lady!"

She was so young, a piggy queen,
With wicked legs, you know what I mean...
The farmer sold her for a pretty good price
So she took the long way to Schnitzelparadise.
Her mother the brood-sow had told her the story
Of travelling ‘round and fucking for glory
So poor Piggy thought, they’d go for a fuck
She and the others on the dirty old truck
The inexperienced Piggy did not realise
That she was on the long way to Schnitzelparadise
Yeah she was on the long way to Schnitzelparadise
They suddenly stopped, so her heart was on fire
The loading-ramp dropped, she burnt with desire!
Her lust was so real it was driving her mad
Five minutes later poor Piggy was dead.
The inexperienced Piggy did not realise
That she was on the long way to Schnitzelparadise
Yeah she was on the long way to Schnitzelparadise
Same week I got hungry, decided to eat,
I thought of a Schnitzel with an increasing greed.
The meal I had left some spot on my dress,
If I knew that was Piggy, I couldn’t care less!
The inexperienced Piggy did not realise
That she was on the long way to Schnitzelparadise
Yeah she was on the long way to Schnitzelparadise
