New York Mayday

New York mayday

Wake up to the sound of sirens

Hotel bed 27th floor

Traffic breaks the silence

Maid's in the corridor

On channel nine there's a show time

Take a laugh with Donald Duck

New York in the springtime

Half past eight o'clock

Silver birds cross the skyline

Reflect the new day sun

Sylvester on channel forty-nine

Pulls the trigger of his gun

Nothing to be scared of

But off course no one can be sure

That's what they tell you

Walking out of the door

It's the big green apple a mayday

Ants are busy in the core

New York city a springday

Something a viking can explore

Breakfast on forty-seven

´nother peace of cake

Elevators up to heaven

No coffee-break

The Empire so fantastic

Must be worth a souvenir

King Kong made of plastic

You'll also find him here

Ballerinas on the flagstones

Smiling shoeshine boys

Distant New York saxophones

Support the traffic noise

Contortionist performance

On a tabouret by the quay

Make your entrance

A trip across the sea

It's the big green apple a mayday

Ants are busy in the core

New York city a springday

Something a viking can explore

Locked in the statue of Liberty

By a circle line of school kids on excursion

Rising up the winding stairs

To the copperhead of the nation

Oh oh oh oh

To feel the closeness

Of the everlasting torch light of liberty

What a place to be

What a sight to see

A new born world

Through a crown pearl

Gate of the immigrants

City of the ants

New York city

It's the big green apple a mayday

Ants are busy in the core

New York city a springday

Something a viking can explore

Big green apple

It’s you

Right here in front of me

At the subway entrance door

Is it really you I see

The girl I knew before

What a certain change of style

Though years have marked your face

I recognize that something wild

From your younger days

The curling on your lip

The twinkle in your eye

The way you still look hip

When you say bye bye

It´s you

Shining clearly through

All the years and all the changes

We´ve been through

You were an experimental girl

With a revolutionary mind

Went out to change the world

And leave the past behind

Now I meet you on the way back home

To your surburban style

Movin' slowly in a line

A life of killing time

The curling on your lip

The twinkle in your eye

The way you still look hip

When you say bye bye

It´s you

Shining clearly through

All the years and all the changes

We´ve been through

Baby it's you

Remember days in seventy three

when there was only you and me

a never ending possibility

we had our plans

we made our dream

following the stream

leading us to unknown destiny

The curling on your lip

The twinkle in your eye

The way you still look hip

When you say bye bye

It´s you

Shining clearly through

All the years and all the changes

We´ve been through

Baby it's you

Daddy’s girl

Daddys drinking

A change of mind

Mamma's thinking

One more time

Sister's scared

Can't stand no more

Someone´s there

To open the door

In the darkness

A sweet smell

Sticky fingers

They never tell

Strange feelings

Growing wild

She needs an exit

For a while

Daddy's girl

Leaving Daddy's world

A place to hide

Out of sight

In the silence of the night

Who's to blame

Such a shame

Daddy's girl

Is leaving Daddy's world

She's forced to be the little girl

Sitting on Daddy's knee

But she want´s to recognize this world

As a place she'd like to be

Dawn is breaking

With a smile

Daddy's taking on

A new lifestyle

The secrets

And the forgotten lies

Are in the liquid

Of her eyes

Daddy's girl

Leaving Daddy's world

A place to hide

Out of sight

In the silence of the night

Who's to blame

Such a shame

Daddy's girl

Is leaving Daddy's world

Daddy's girl

Is leaving Daddy's world

Daddy's girl

Is leaving Daddy's world

Stingy Andy

In my hometown

There was a man

A strange kind of man

Called Stingy Andy

king of the garbage can

The rumours told

he was so cruel

he mistreat the children

against the rules

He lives alone in a shanty

close to the dumping ground

Stingy Andy

King of the garbage can

One day I met him on the street

I was nearly scared to death

he said don´t worry kid

don´t have to be afraid

I found in the garbage can

A brand new Superman

you can fly away with him

And you can visit me in my shanty

close to the dumping ground

Remember - Stingy Andy

King of the garbage can

Forever roses

When I stepped in to Graceland

My headphone guide is on

Makes me understand

The essence of a song

Guitars in the entry

Grand piano in the music room

Easy to imagine

Priscilla coming soon

Now she's in my ear

And he is on the screen

I'm standing here

Somewhere in between

The automated kitchen

The favorite jungle chair

I feel surrounded

There's magic in the air

The million selling records

Built the wall of gold

Tells the greatest story

In rock'n roll

Memories saved

Forever roses on the grave

Young and ambitious

Drove in to town

Wants to surprise

Mommy with a song

A country boy get famous

Soon as he start to sing

That's how it all began

The legend of the King

The million selling records

Built the wall of gold

Tells the greatest story

In rock'n roll

Memories saved

Forever roses on the grave

Memories saved

Forever roses on the grave

Demons on the loose

She came in from the street wearing high heel shoes

And a very short self promoting dress suit

Stealthy and restless in the way she moves

A non succeeding self destructing attitude

She's out of control and she's shaking

The bells on her bracelet are ringing

She's searching her handbag for something

What she find is no no nothing

The man beside her is staying cool

He's demanding that something from her

He's the schoolmaster and she's the little girl in school

He will never accept a sorry sir

She's certainly not able

To handle the pizza he bought

Her fingers tab like drumsticks on the table

She can't even hold the fork

There are demons on the loose

She crumples her toes in her shoes

She aint got no excuse

There are demons on the loose

It seems like talking is her only defense

But in fact she's got nothing to tell

Fears of feelings she can't even sell

A shewolf in the gate of hell

The mascara is running down from her eyes

She's got lipstick smeared on her teeth

She's running out of alibi's

She's down on her knees

There are demons on the loose

Prowling on the the street wearing high heel shoes

And a very short self promoting dress suit

Stealthy and restless in the way she moves

A non succeeding self destructing attitude

Out of control she's shaking

The bells on her bracelet are ringing

She's searches the street for something

What she finds is no no nothing

There are demons on the loose

Drink standing

I knew an old bricklayer

He gave me a code

He said don't worry

When You travel this road

Keep moving keep searching

And whatever comes around

Drink standing and keep your feet

Firmly on the ground

I walked through the valleys

Of my childhood and youth

Through mazes of alleys

In search of the truth

To live like a hobo

Was an easy choice

Yes I'll always remember

The bricklayers advice

Drink standing my son drink standing

Keep your feet firmly on the ground

Cause when you drink standing

You can always move on

Sure I like to drink

In good company

I like the high jinks

It sets my thoughts free

But in the happy hour

When I'm cheering with the guys

I often forget

The bricklayers advice

Drink standing my son drink standing

Keep your feet firmly on the ground

Cause when you drink standing

You can always move on

Now I'm a father

And I have a son

I wish him god luck

And a whole lot of fun

Learning by doing

Making a choice

And always remember

The bricklayers advice

Drink standing my son drink standing

Keep your feet firmly on the ground

Cause when you drink standing

You can always move on

Drink standing my son drink standing

Keep your feet firmly on the ground

Cause when you drink standing

You can always move on…

When the parents were young

There was a lot of Marihuana

And love in the air

Hundreds of roads

That lead to somewhere

There was a dream to build upon

And a will to carry on

There was a longing for freedom

A longing for peace

Searching for truth

A searching for keys

There was a reason to believe

A world to perceive

They walked on the moon

And flew into space

They got out of tune

Leaving their base

And the rising was just begun

When the parents were young

There was a wall in Berlin

A war in Vietnam

United nations

And good uncle Sam

The red ones in the east

A world against the beast

There was questions and answers

No one could tell

Children with flowers

That walked into hell

And those who still are bound

Safely to the ground

They walked on the moon

And flew into space

They got out of tune

Leaving their base

And the rising was just begun

When the parents were young

They walked on the moon

And flew into space

They got out of tune

Leaving their base

And the rising was just begun

When the parents were young

And the rising was just begun

When the parents were young

The shut down moment

Shut down the TV - the telephone line

Tune out the world - in this moment of time

Whatever will come - don't ask me why

Here alone - just you and I

The kids are sleeping

Thoughts fading away

Nothing to say

In this shut down moment of our day

You were so busy - arriving to late

I was sorry had no time to wait

After the race - we need a space

A loving embrace

The kids are sleeping

Thoughts fading away

Nothing to say

In this shut down moment of our day

Like leaves after a thunderstorm

Silently falling to the ground

Tomorrow has only begun

We keep moving on

The kids are sleeping

Thoughts fading away

Nothing to say

In this shut down moment o
