THE REMINDER
Go! Duck and cover
the reminder is back
I don't know how he did it,
but he's been keeping track of you
so, the pathfinder
he's making his rounds
you might have thought you're free,
but he's got you bound
watch out, the ladies
watch out, their gentlemen
the pathfinder
is on his way again
say hello to the control
making you lose it
he's got a pistol and I tell you
he’s gon’ use it
go! Duck and cover
the reminder is back
I don't know how he did it,
but he's been keeping track of you
so, the pathfinder
he's making his rounds
you might have thought you're free,
but he's got you bound
go! Duck and cover
the reminder is back
I don't know how he did it,
but he's been keeping track of you
so, the pathfinder
pathfinder is back
and once this trapper has got you
he the dog and you the cat
baby

CRACKED
I am standing here
facing you
and got my chest all cracked
you ran me over
three steps forward
and then five steps back
I know that you can do better
way better than you did
you wrote me grown up letters
and now you’re acting like a kid
honey, my baby
sweetheart, you are still my baby-blue
but the way you’re acting really
does make me tired of you
I know that you can do better
way better than you did
you wrote me grown up letters
and now you’re acting like a kid

JACKET
„Sorry“
you say
just the way
you through away
a smoked cigarette
and then you look
as if you wanna go
so „sorry“
you say
just the way
you throw away
a smoked cigarette
so, I guess
I better let you go
I let you take your jacket
and lace up your shoes
and listen to your
„bye-bye-babe-
I’ve-got-the-walking-blues“
you care
you say
bluntly in my face
you lie, I gotta face
that it’s too late
for you’re looking so
already gone
and I am
looking at your facade
with all I kept
i gotta keep it
it’s too late
yea, you are looking so
already gone
I let you take your jacket
and lace up your shoes
and listen to your
„bye-bye-babe-
I’ve-got-the-walking-blues“

PIGEON
Under hungry eyes walks the
pigeon down her way and she
wears her feathers
so white, white, white
on pieces walks the pigeon all
down her way and she
wears her feet
so bare, bare, bare
fall, my pigeon
you shall not fly
come on, my pigeon, you
are getting swallowed by
this night
by hundreds walk the wolves
to feathers head the wolves
wolf machines
iron bites inside you
(don´t know yet)
run, newcomer
iron eyes gonna find you
they (don´t show yet)
fall, my pigeon
you shall not fly
come on, my pigeon, you
are getting swallowed by
this night
through the night walks the pigeon all
down her way and she
glows in the dark
so white, white, white
through the night flies the pigeon all
down her way and she
let´s her view float
wide, wide, wide

SCHOOLGIRL
I'll dress like a schoolgirl
and I’ll drink tea
I'll dress like a vamp
and I will drink whisky
but only you
know me true
I'll dress like a good girl
and I'll behave, too
dress like a bad one
and I'll know what to do
but only you
know me true
how could I be so careless
and be so cold
how can I be so young and
acting so old
like a story told
I'll be laughing and drinking
I'll meet my friends
and they might be asking
how I do alone, again
and I might be saying
saying I'm fine
but there ain't no use of pretending
you are always on my mind
I used to say, there's flowers
and cowboys
and that is the way
that I like it to be
now, you
were my cowboy
and I became a flower
when you looked at me
how could I be so careless
and be so cold
how can I be so young and
acting so old
like a story told
so, if I'm a schoolgirl
why don't I learn
and if I'm that vamp
why won't I burn
when I'm the cutter
why do I feel
and if I'm a wound
when will I heal
in time

YELLOW MOON
Yellow moon
hanging low
tell my love
I had to go
to the shore
over indigo
to where no man can lead me
no man can follow
yellow moon
tell him that
he is so sweet
but times are bad
close my eyes
and leave this world
oh too soon
tell him not to cry
yellow moon

KING OF THE SUN
You’re the king of the sun
you decide
what’s right
and left undone
golden rays, you burn you shine
you wear a crown
and down
you draw a line
you’re the king but you’re
broken
under your snakeskin
robe
you’re a star up in the sky
but it’s a curse
the universe
is cold
so cold
and every boy and girl
knows your name
how will they cry
when you leave them all alone

SHOOTING BUTTERFLIES
My child, my beauty
forever, your face
in the sun and in the nighttime
in the stars and silver haze
you are so beautiful
too light
too light
so, I’m shooting butterflies
for you, my child
i'm shooting them
one by one, for they
got us flying too high
gloomy you look at me
and only tears reveal your face
this sad is so very beautiful
you have understood
you have seen
and felt
so, I’m shooting butterflies
for you, my child
i'm shooting them
one by one, for they
got us flying too high

UNDER THE MORNING SUN
When I saw what you are able
to do under the morning sun
I could hear the seagulls laughing
down at me and the damage done
and I don’t blame them, no
I rather think they’re right
’cause seeing what a fool I’ve been
you can only laugh or cry
as I watch you hurting me to
show me just how wrong I’ve been
while God is having his breakfast
your shabbiness is to be seen
and the stars are well-off hiding
behind that grey daylight
´cause seeing what you are doing there
ain’t much of a pleasant sight
and if you ever catch me crying
and if you ever catch me blue
it is for me
and that I fell for
a nothing-good-doer like you
