Lyrics Alphaville - Some People

Lyrics Alphaville - Some People

Some people seem to have it all
Some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused
Some people wind up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people pray before they kill
Some people kill just for the thrill

Some people follow one man's vision
Some others die on television
Some people build their homes on sand
Some people live in garbage cans

Some people think that life is dear
Some people hope the end is near
Some people fight for right to life
Some people hate to stay alive
Some people dream of life on Mars
Some people end their life in cars
Some people throw their lives away
Some others go on holiday

Some people follow one man's vision
Some others die on television
Some people build their homes on sand
Some people live in garbage cans

Some people live and love in vain
Some people don't and go insane
Some people always need to win
Some other people love to sin
Some people

Some people breaking all their vows
Some people slashing sacred cows
Some people like to worship stars
Some people think the world's a farce
Some people try to make ends meet
Some others end up kissing feet
Some people find their Holy Grail
Some other people go to hell

Some people follow one man's vision
Some others die on television
Some people build their homes on sand
Some people live in garbage cans

Some people never catch their breath
Some people drink themselves to death
Some people seem to have it all
Some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused
Some people wind up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people

Lyrics Alphaville - New Horizons

Lyrics Alphaville - New Horizons

Once, we were together
Once we were one
Once we were running, we knew where we came from
We were the music, we heard the call
We were giants after the fall
Once we were children, once we were so small

To the new horizons I cast my eyes
When I look at you reaching out to the new horizons
Once and today
Once and today

Once, we were divided, once, we lost our sight
Once, we were freezing in the tv light
You are a rainbow, you're looking fine
Shall we make it one more time

To the new horizons I cast my eyes
When I look at you reaching out to the new horizons
Once and today
Once and today
You are a rainbow

Lyrics Alphaville - Carol Masters

Lyrics Alphaville - Carol Masters

she sits by the window, stares into the night
just waiting for a foreign sound from outside
far beyond the atmospheres, she is listening for a call to take her homewards
to herself
oh, i love you so
he who's master of the icy shots won't harm you in the morning
she knows that the pavement's hard, there between the stars
to travel on to martian homesick city
she is weeping silently but there's not a tear
just raindrops falling from the painted ceiling
the dance of the foraging bee will number all the things
she has been longing for all of her life
i will not pass this night in vain, she says
i'll stand this kind of rain
i know the way, i'll find the path
yes, carol wants to go to mars, back where the red-cold sun is sinking
to the channels of a'daar
day breaks through the grating
someone moves a chair
and sunlight blisters dazzling on a glass
take a pill and greet the day for sedative holidays
why aren't you sleeping in the night
oh, i love you so
he who's master of the icy shots won't harm you till the evening
we shall meet tomorrow night
and i'll kiss you just as tenderly as cygnus kissed the deserts

Lyrics Alphaville - Ship Of Fools

Lyrics Alphaville - Ship Of Fools

Did you know when the journey started
That wed ever reach that point
Many years we sailed together
Now its time to say goodbye
You don't know what I've been going through
haven't heard that much from you
Isolation is a nice flower
Now I wonder what to do
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you
On our ship of fools were drifting along the shores never seen before
When you told me that youre leaving
Cause the stakes were much too high
I was wondring why you said so
Since we still got wings to fly
I will never ever give up
Just as long as I am here
Till the end Ill spread my wings
And raise my dreams against your fears
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you
On our ship of fools were drifting along the shores never seen before...

Lyrics Alphaville - Moon Boy

Lyrics Alphaville - Moon Boy

you gave me strength, you pushed the blades away from me
oh how we dreamt to change the world
and we would never give in, no matter what they say
a really cool connection in a cruel world
you led me through the nights - and through the hardest fights
we dreamt wed be the ones - and we would never lose
you made me speechless - and fearless - yet it made you fearless too
oh how we dreamt to be so fearless - no matter what they do
i dont know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
youve been around, a distant star, youve seen them come and go
those unknown chaps without a slightest chance
i know, all without faith are liars even when theyre dreaming
id even put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
our minds are filled with crazy dreams - they seem to be unreachable
but if you give them up they stay - till someone else takes them away
i met you in this hotel hall - oh nino, aint it hard
not to be understood
but all you said was: hey, i just wanna sing (like an angel)
i dont know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
i dont know where you are now - you come and go whenever you like..
just believe in your powers - you might find out youre invincible...
no matter what they say...

Lyrics Alphaville - Roll Away The Stone

Lyrics Alphaville - Roll Away The Stone

Baby, if you say you still care,
I follow you most anywhere
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
And in the darkest night,
I'll keep you safe and alright
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone,
Why be cold and so alone
Won't you roll away the stone,
Don't you let it lie
No matter if fools say we can't win,
I know I'll fall in love again
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
So sing, we still got a chance,
Baby for love and sweet romance
Roll away the stone,
Roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it die
Just kick it away

Lyrics Alphaville - Ascension Day

Lyrics Alphaville - Ascension Day

These are the days of evil perfection
This is the world of torture and fame
This is the age of most vicious infection
These are the times of terror and pain

Let them inside and they build you a nightmare
Show them, you fool, it'll not be in vain
Here is your costume of deepest surrender
These are the times of terror and pain

I want to ride on a crest of sensation
I want to scream in the whirlpools of love
I want to drown in a climax of thunder
I want to be with the fools in the storm

Do what you want and then die when you want to
We're gonna walk on the blood of the meek
We're gonna sail through the oceans of wonder
We're gonna live in the dreams that we seek

Send in the parasite clowns on their horses
Send in the idiots and let them advance
Send in the monsters of your own creation
Send them all in and give them a chance

We're gonna dance to the sweetest of music
We're gonna play with the whores in the rain
We'll dissipate the lord's last temptations
All in a crossfire of torture and fame

Lyrics Alphaville - Giants

Lyrics Alphaville - Giants

Be on your guard when you sit in the open places
because I'm blessed with all the wonders of the sun
when tigers, palmtrees, rattlesnakes unfold their graces
that kind of magic you may get a sunburn from
and there's no better way for us than our old sweet ways
and angels burn to dust before the human race
we're giants under a rainbow
we're stranded east of eden
Sometimes we're crying in the afterglow
in a world of broken toys, how can we live without them
freedom that is what you are always screaming
it is a scream but more a nightmare than a laugh
those without faith are liars even when they're dreaming
I'd put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
but there's no devil in the darkness, no demon in the skies
nothing to be afraid of, cross my heart and hope to die
freedom...
Freedom...

Lyrics Alphaville - Ivory Tower

Lyrics Alphaville - Ivory Tower

Here is the news from my little hideaway
My sweet Ivory Tower
I've sent you songs about so many thing
Mighty moon dogs skipping waves
Dolphins playing their lives away
Golden circus girls and pharaohs
Fallen angels, street side Romeos

Patricia's park and Anyway
Eternal youth and never ending summer days
Lonely girls, music halls, the mysteries of love
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand
In the event
I am a stranger in a strange land

Welcome, stranger, to the land of the free
Welcome, Carol, to Phantasy
Oh my God, I feel so alone
A million light years far from home
It seems to be a tragedy
How can I live in Germany?

Another house is burning down
It's time to face the cruel reality
This is a game no more
Disasters in the 20th Century
In the event that I don't return
Please take this message to understand
In the event that I don't return

Lyrics Alphaville - Afternoons In Utopia

Lyrics Alphaville - Afternoons In Utopia

Acrobats and comets floating by so fast
Children's faces smile like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here

You can halt your car for an afternoon in utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in utopia
Mighty Mao moondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for easter time on mars

Paint your hats and shoues with flowers and with stars
Singing in metropolitan operas
You can halt your car for an afternoon in utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in utopia

Lyrics Alphaville - Shadows She Said

Lyrics Alphaville - Shadows She Said

There's no more place to go
the other bars are closed
the night the stranger came to town
how do you know
when you're right or wrong?
How do you know
if you hurt or if you don't?
So many people say so many things
but nobody agrees on anything
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
this night's an empty shell
shadows she said
and all the shadows followed after her
you burned the book of life
the cradle and the tomb
how could you ever dare
there's no more turning back
your stars lit up in flames
there's gunsmoke in the air
and yesterday you bought a brand-new car
but you don't feel like going very far
there's no more place to go...
There's no more place to go
shadows she said
there's no more place to go
shadows she said
this night's an empty shell
shadows she said
and all the shadows followed after her
here they come...
Shadows she said...
And all the shadows followed after her...
Shadows she said...

Lyrics Alphaville - Monkey In The Moon

Lyrics Alphaville - Monkey In The Moon

Once I was so sure, once I was so blind
Wonder what you said if you read my mind
Angel in a car, devil on a cross
Scarecrows in the fields, Jesus on the rocks
Letters in the rain, rabbit on the run
God was made for you, lizards for the sun
Monkey in the moon, I can see you through
Monkey in the moon, this one's made for you


Flower in a word, words without a priest
Wings without a bird, beauty without beast
Signal overkill, trains are overdue
Fool upon a hill, ocean overview
Letters in the rain. . .
Fool upon a hill, trains are overdue
Except what we forgot nothing's really new
Head above the clouds, eyes are opened wide
Windmill burning down, walk into the light
Walk into the light
Monkey in the moon...
Letters in the rain
This one's

Lyrics Alphaville - The Opium Den

Lyrics Alphaville - The Opium Den

(.. Dahinter schimmern die sterne)
May I introduce myself
I'm your poison
I'm gonna kill you tonite
I do it slowly, you gonna like it
You remember me for the rest of your life
But it won't last very long, hang on
It won't last very long, so hang on
To the opium den
I hang out here every nite
I'm just waiting, I'm just waiting for you
You gonna like what i..., you gonna like it
You gonna like what I do
But it won't last very long, hang on
It won't last very long, so hang on
To the opium den...
May I introduce myself
I'm your poison, I'm gonna kill you tonite
I do it slowly, you gonna like it
You remember me for the rest of your life
But it won't last very long, hang on
It won't last very long, so hang on
To the opium den...
It offers you comfort
As everything about it
It is mild, without reason
And for all it is perfect
And it is there, where I go now
And it is there, where I now go
And it is there, where I now go
It is there... Where i... Now... Go..

Lyrics Alphaville - Heart Of The Flower

Lyrics Alphaville - Heart Of The Flower

Now at the station, the train to another land
Lands of never seen light
Light hidden in infinite night
Night in it's biggest might, might of the strongest power
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
The waiting room of kingdom come,
I look back upon my life
Life of loss but now the end
End of rat race overdrive
Overdrive to foreign lands
Lands of contemptuous hours
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
Now on the train
This is the end of my day
I feel my spirits escape like a musical clock
That's dying away
I turn once again and wave my hand
And say goodbye
I never thought it's so easy
I never thought it's so easy
I take the first train to the heart of the flower
i take the first train to the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
And there the smoke of the train
To the heart of the flower
The heart of the flower
The heart of the flower
The heart of the flower

Lyrics Alphaville - Sounds Like A Melody

Lyrics Alphaville - Sounds Like A Melody

It's a trick of my mind
Two faces bathing in the screen light
She's so soft and warm in my arms
I tune it into the scene
My hands are resting on her shoulders
When were dancing away for a while
Oh we're moving, we're falling,
We step into the fire
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
There's no reason to hurry
Just start that brand new story
Set it alight, we're head over heels in love
Head over heels
The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while

It's the definite show
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
It's so clear and bright in your eyes
It's the touch of your sighs
My lips are resting on your shoulder
When we're moving so soft and slow
We need the ecstasy, the jealousy,
The comedy of love
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before
Give me more tragedy, more harmony
And fantasy, my dear
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight

The ringing of your laughter
It sounds like a melody
To once forbidden places
We'll go for a while

Lyrics Alphaville - For The Sake Of Love

Lyrics Alphaville - For The Sake Of Love

I forgive, I forgive
I forgive all my friends who left me alone, I forgive the wall that it had so
many stones
I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest, I forgive the hangman, I
forgive the beast
I forgive the winter that it was so cold, I forgive my father that he was so
bold
I forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames, I forgive the acid, I
forgive the rains
I forgive James Joyce that I couldn't read his books,
I forgive that you've never given back what you took

I forgive the puzzle that I didn't fit, I forgive the shit that I couldn't
write a hit
I forgive the dog that she never came home, I forgive all the ways that they
always lead to rome
I forgive the worm in the very last tree, I forgive the girls who haven't
forgiven me
I forgive inspiration when it came to late, I forgive all the ladies when I
had to wait
I forgive superman that I didn't stay clean, I forgive, I forgive, anyone,
anything
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love

I forgive the angels who could never take me high,
I forgive all my dreams that I couldn't really fly
I forgive the thought that I couldn't stop thinking,
I forgive all the drinks that I couldn't stop drinking

I forgive the clock that it didn't wake me up, I forgive the driver, I forgive
the cab
I forgive all the moments that they wouldn't stay, I forgive all the years
that they've flown away
I forgive the promises that they've been broken, I forgive the curses that
they have been spoken
I forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past, I forgive the stars
when they fell too fast
I forgive the joke that it didn't make me laugh, I forgive desire that I had
to starve
I forgive all the love for the sake of love, I forgive all sakes for the fake
above
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love

Lyrics Alphaville - Forever Young

Lyrics Alphaville - Forever Young

Let's start in style, let's dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies.
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man.

Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun,
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madman.

Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever

Forever young,
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young.

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today,
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let them come true

Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, and ever?

Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever young?

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, and ever?

Forever young,
I want to be forever young.
Do you really want to live forever?

Lyrics Alphaville - Golden Feeling

Lyrics Alphaville - Golden Feeling

Though this place is so crowded
You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For nuggets of fleeting bliss
C'mon, c'mon you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine
It's a new situation
The start of a game, you've already won the prize
He's a lunatic dancer
Who's not aware that he's skating on thin ice
There's no turning back
No time for regrets, you should've known better, though
Another chance to fall in love
Another chance to turn you on
Another chance to turn you on
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

Lyrics Alphaville - Sensations

Lyrics Alphaville - Sensations

listen to the news, changes are coming soon
atlantic engineers and cities in the moon
you better look across the ocean, tell me what you see
the southern cross explodes into the colours of the sea
mighty maomoondog skips across the waves
kick the door and hit the shore and be somebody else
supersonic landscapes are melting in your hair
bubblegum comediens planting skylarks in the air
here we go with the new sensation
we're on every station
such a kind of a legend to turn you on
dig that rhythm, genie and listen to the voice of the dolphins
listen to your radio
all across the planet, politicians tremble
continental sister's rocking with the liquid gambler
now the time is here, now it's coming true
the enigmatic extasy is overwhelming you
acrobats and comets are streaking by
40.000 sirens are wailing at the sky
innersexual circuits are cruising without fear
all inviting you for partytiming here
that's the start of the new sensation..
...dig that band
listen to me, listen to the voice of the dolphin
you better return to the sea
listen to his majesty
you better return to the sea
you better return to me..

Lyrics Alphaville - Here By Your Side

Lyrics Alphaville - Here By Your Side

When you feel so far away
Though you're close to everything
And the feeling of estrangement's
Creeping up on spider's legs
Even in these days of wonder
Even in the age of faith
There are some who goin' under
There are some who got it made
In the middle of the night
When the last of god has died
And the only thing you've got
Is the tic toc of the clock
I'm here by your side
In these days full of wonder
So you passed so many years
In a labyrinth of traces
Running round and round they led
To no one but yourself
