No Fool 03:11
I am no fool Don’t be so cruel Quit plaiying with my head like a yoyo Hey man! don’t use my pain To make you feel wanted Be fair, be clear If you want me near If you don’t want my heart Then just leave it I’d rather walk away Then wait for you one more day Our story has not yet been written No, you’re already on the run! What is it that you fear What is it you cant take Is my love too heavy? Too fragile to carry? hohohoho I am no fool Are you hiding Behind your silence and mysteries? Are you scared to really care for me? Did you doubt That I couldn’t give you what you needed? Are you terrified by your own dreams? Now will you say like all the others That you’re not ready, Oh baby you’ve been hurt Hey man don’t be surprised If I’m not here tomorrow I’ll shut the door and be on my way If you don’t want my heart Then just leave it I’d rather walk away Then wait for you one more day You played me so damned good I was such a fool, such a fool It was all just a game to you Now you lose, you lose, you lose I have no time to waste You’re not worth it anyway Just slam the door And walk away hohohoho I am no fool

Fire Works 03:27
Aï AÏ AÏ AÏ AÏ AÏ Fireworks Little bright lights growing From the centre of my core With this shivering feeling Running under my skin They travel at the speed of light Warm blood rushing through my veins I see colours in the sky above your head Paintings of all desires They explode Red, blue, purple and gold Fireworks They explode Red, blue, purple and gold Fireworks Keeping our love whole Your kisses are like Violent volcanos Bengal fires spinning in my soul When we make love I leave the land My body dissolves In the palm of your hand The weight of your love Like red velvet falls The passion kicks in Deep burgundy begins Your moves are slow Heat rush of yellow Caress my soul Sweet shades of gold Lips so gentle Soothing purple I see right through you Electric blue Until the final blow All I see is a rainbow They explode Red, blue, purple and gold Fireworks Ohohohoh They explode Red, blue, purple and gold Fireworks Keeping our love whole X3 Aï AÏ AÏ AÏ AÏ AÏ

Give me lots of nothing I’m in need of emptiness Too much information I don’t compute anymore Now just give me One tune at a time x3 Give me a virgin garden Restart my machine With colours and plants I pod and phone and pad and touch 15 000 songs in a box Scrolling endless choices But none make me push the button! Now just give me One tune at a time x3 Delete all create a clear vision No more recycled rhythms Detox myself From too many songs and records in my head Now just give me One tune at a time x8

What must I say To lighten your burden Offer you drops of water To tame this cold fire Distant yet so close I have heard your lullabies And planted many dreams That still linger under my pillow I would give you my wings For you to rise higher For your voice has given me An extra pair to fly better You helped me along the way Through my pain and sorrow How can I do the same And help you feel better? If you need me I will come To fight your enemy With my spear and arrow To kill your devil bellow I would give you my wings For you to rise higher For your voice has given me An extra pair to fly further Comment ça se fait Ce pastel sombre dans tes couleurs La route se dessinait pourtant Devant, entre les arbres en fleurs

Le pont 04:08
Ouvre-toi à moi Et absorbe ma peine Déverse mes regrets En cascades de sel Lève le barrage Actionne l’engrenage Que la force de tes mots Apaise ma rage Pour t’accueillir Je bâtirai de mes mains nues Un pont de béton De mes pas de géant, J’enjamberai l’océan Et mangerai volontiers Les kilomètres restants Pour étreindre les restes d’espoir Cesser de broyer du noir Je t’offre ma parole Donne-moi ton savoir Pour t’accueillir Je batirai de mes mains nues Un pont de béton armé Pour t’accueillir Je batirai de mes mains nues Un pont inébranlable Un pont imperméable Des souvenirs ridés Aux blessures entassées J’irai faucher, débroussailler Pour apprendre à t’aimer Pour t’accueillir Je batirai de mes mains nues Un pont de béton armé Pour t’accueillir Je batirai de mes mains nues Un pont inébranlable Un pont imperméable

Sand Woman 04:00
I’m a star shaper I’m a shape shifter Some call me weird Some call me witch I take long long strides In the starry sky Catching all your fantasies your wildest memories Yeah I’m the sand woman I’m the sand woman When Lady night arrives In her deep blue dress I sprinkle moon dust in your eyes my embrace calls your rest I am the queen of illusion A woman of many visions Sowing hopes and wishes Into gentle voodoo dolls (sand woman, con’t) Sandwoman Dream zone protector Sand woman Colouring your sky Sand woman Married to the moon When the night falls I’ll be there soon I’m the dream shooter Your night time wizard Humming peaceful lullabies (sand woman, con’t) Crawling into your dreams I slip into another skin Open the gates of your mind And I’ll take you for a ride Mysteries of the jungle The roaring sound of the sea Wild wild talking animals They sing along your melody Sand woman Dream zone protector Sand woman Colouring your sky Sand woman Married to the moon When the night falls I’ll be there Sand woman Dream zone protector Sand woman Colouring your sky Sand woman Married to the moon Sand woman Ohhhhhhhhh Some call me witch She’s there stepping through the sky She’s there to protect you Sand woman Peace for the dreamers…

The night went by And nothing has changed My heart is still beating fast And my hands are chained Whispers of my doubts Are screaming louder again The angels of darkness Didn’t take away my pain Standing on the Edge Of my rumbling worries Causing my head to spin Faster, faster and never still Sister, it seems to me There’s no need to stand alone Fighting all your demons With a handful of stones Oh my sister it’s ok Sister, keep calm This state of mind won’t last for long Sister, it’s in your head Little demons are ringing your bell Sister breath some air Oh my sister All I see is that grey lady Swallowed by the sea Turning her back to it all And looking, looking where there’s nothing to see Now is forever And tomorrow is so far away Sister it’s ok You’ll reach the end of this day Oh my sister it’s ok Sister Keep calm This state of mind won’tlast for long Sister it’s in your head Little demons are ringing your bell Sister breath some air Oh my sister Ohhhhh Lalala lalala Oh my sister , my sister Don’t let those tears wash away your pride Tomorrow is another day

The ocean splits me in half In two distant tides Growing farther apart Wave after wave LaLaLa The fire burns out my soul My tired bones reduced to ashes Spread out, spread out on the dying grounds Of your musical landscapes LaLaLa The earth builds up my strength Giving me the root of truth and faith As mountains of will Will rise stone after stone As time drags by The longing grows heavier Taking more and more space In the place where my heart lay

Slowly 04:28
Slow steps through the dust My feet are heavy My soul’s hanging from my body Dragging me slowly Slow my mind is running late My thoughts are waiting in lined My breath is bated My heart longing slow, slowly My world moves slowly I am a slow building storm Everything is still And alone I spin Ouou ouou Slow I dream on That I am not wrong May the dust I have shaken Settles back down Slowly My world moves slowly I am a slow building storm Everything is still And alone I spin My body moves slowly In the eye of the storm Everything is still And alone I spin
