I look into your deep blue eyes There is a brown spot, Looks like a tree Which reaches to the sky And I'm falling into the black hole of your dot, Should I kiss you? Better not, I should not fall in love with you We ran out of the piano bar Took some splif and we walked so far In New York to find Berlin Where we were dancing And we danced, we danced, we danced, Normally I don't dance, but we were dancing The whole night long. You hold me tight at the 'two-bridges' diner You left the city And I heard a sound Of a minor You said 'Platonic love is not my friend' I said 'What we found does not searching for an end' No no! Faith or the pull of my own passion, My heart occupied My head is full of music sessions Sin and salvation only for believers So you told me we will see us At the place where big chords howling from the grand (piano) Inspired by someone's band But I don't need no progressive beats with feeling Maqam music, therapy healing Urban hip hop, nor electronic waves Only a strong voice and a taste of a haze To say I'm in love I'm in love with you

Someone told me I should go to a land Which language I cannot understand To feel what love means Now I'm gone and you stay In the memories of yesterday You are blind but I want to see And I know you don't mean it 'bad' to me I traveled around Listened to unknown sound Create a melody And the memories stay inside of me A lot of people are hot Some of them are not But I… I kissed all of them You know who I am I'm a human from a- until pm But some nights are cold The memories grow old And I'm stuck in yesterday What should I say No one is in the bar No whiskey, no jar And I'm dreaming about you I'm drowning from purple to blue And in the blue, I see you Charly Parker please play And pay the long-night bill That I don't have to feel so alone Crimson clouds and a lovely sound And the smell of sweet summer spring You know what I mean It means – I love you and there is nothing in between But sometimes is not easy for me Cause a broken heart is blind So what does a blind broken heart see I see a day where everything is grey And you're coming back to me To tell me what a broken heart all can see Now I'm back from the land which language I do understand Open your eyes do you feel what I mean It means – I love you and there is nothing in between I love you and sometimes there are so many things in between But anyway I love you And let us say, just for today, there is nothing, totally nothing Cause baby I love you and there is nothing in between

Good morning beauty You have to wake up because The sun is shining for you I'm kind of bored now, I'm sitting here, I look out the window And I try to hide my feelings for you 'Cause I don't know, what should I expect Most of the time I recognize I just talk shit But now I know That I miss you so Wish you could be here by my side Because the sun is shining bright So wake up babe because The sun is coming back again Just close your eyes Then you feel That I'm always here Next to you Everyday I try to keep the memories of you alive In my mind and soul But sometimes it would be so much easier to be next to you To be next to you So wake up babe Because the sun is coming back again Just close your eyes Then you feel That I'm always here Next to you Loneliness always comes with fear, But when I cannot see you It's so hard to feel you But I do still feel you So wake up babe because The sun is coming back again Just close your eyes Then you feel That I'm always Fuck - I'm always here You better close your eyes Than you feel That I am alway here Next to you Good morning beauty You have to wake up Because the sun is shining for you So please shine too.

I smell your piss I smell your junk Searching a kiss Well I'm drunk in Beijing Unknown sign I dont care Taking some lines Love is in the air in Beijing Smoking one cigarette Smoking two cigarettes Smoking three cigarettes Next to a chinese cat in beijing But I was so alone And lonely I go home And start to Jingeling Jingeling Jingeling Jingeling Jingelingeling my hands He drinks Gin I drink wine I said Oh Baby Tonight you are mine in Beijing He said No But I'm too high I wanna go together Tonight But he left me alone and lonely I go home And start to Jingeling Jingeling Jingeling Jingeling Jingelingeling my hands I want to care Care for someone No one is there No one belong in beijing Sun goes down Sun rise high I lay down my crown Oh I think I'm dying in Beijing She was hot! I am alone She said why not I take you home in Beijing Together we walked home And together we r not alone We start to Jingeling In Beijing In Beijing

I will lick over your face To see if you taste Sweet or bitter to me Oh babe come closer Come closer to me That I can smell What I cannot see When you hold me, you hold me, you hold me You hold me so tight You burn inside Full of jealousy Take me to the moon Oh he is coming too soon I can see his shadow outside I wanna sleep with you and your best friend Please babe, please open the door While I'm waiting on the floor And you both start to dance Yeah you both start to dance I wanna sleep with you and your best friend Now it's too late to go back in time To take the blues of this beautiful Romantic crime When I just said I wanna sleep I wann a sleep I wanna sleep with you

Shadows are falling Late at night baby is calling 'Babe you called my name You called it out loud You tell me that your heart Has turned into steal Oh lover come over tonight Let me try to heal But give some attention For my love too I can imagine you said once I love you Oh babe you know I'll be there for you I'll take care of you It's true I love you In so many ways In so many days And tonight When the stars are shining bright I will hold you tight Tonight Shadows are falling Later at night Babe is calling No, he is not talking to me He is screaming out loud Uh you know me I tell you something brother, I know you too well Jealousy drinks gin And I? I drink with you I drink with you Oh babe you know I'll be there for you I'll take care of you It's true I love you In so many ways In so many days And tonight When the stars are shining bright I will hold you tight Tonight Shadows are falling Too, too late at night Babe is calling No, this time he is not screaming with me He is saying something but not out loud Behind some beautiful things There is always a taste of a pain But without the pain We wouldn't understand What beautiful means
7.
I don't care if you look at me Full of hate Full of fear As long as your eyes are watching me I don't care how loud you scream Full with lungs Or with whispering As long as your mouth is talking to me Oh you belong to me And my love is your biggest enemy This awful war in the name of love Will be a beautiful tragedy Your tears taste so sweet On my tongue Your scream is a lovely melody Adorable the lips, I wanna kiss them So stop screaming While I'm kissing you Cause no one belongs to you Oh you belong to me And my love is your biggest enemy Freedome is not nessessary You want it but you don't need it You just need me, repeat after me You just need me, I just need you You just need me, I just need you You just need me You need me, my love And I know you belong to me And I belong to you You belong to me But my love is your biggest enemy

You 04:44
There could be a reason Sometimes it could be you When you feel your heart and the feelings are true When you know sometimes your parents loves you But sometimes life has another plan And you still think 'Yes, I can. Yes, I can' When the world tries to trick and is against you Then remember You look so good tonight You look so good tonight And you see People 'r running away they call them refugees You can see them, you can see them on TVs They 'r running away from AK47 Because AK47 brings them to heaven And you hear a mother cries because She cannot handle all her lies Then remember You look so good tonight You look so good tonight And you see A father, heartbroken too He is searching for love, searching for you But as a child he wasn't mostly here And as an adult you call your inner child 'fear' And there is something invisible Comes and crawl, comes and crawl, comes and crawl Inside you and distroys everything We have known before Please remember You look so good tonight You look so good tonight Life is like the galaxy Full of light and mistery Only you can choose your story At least try to life your phantasy And then remember There could be a reason Sometimes it could be you When you feel your heart and the feelings are true When you know sometimes the world loves you When you know sometimes the world loves you When you know sometime the world... Is you
