Obsession 03:30
I need to find a new obsession the last one didn't end so well turned out that I was just a pusher bet you a fix you couldn't tell and they just launched a brand new platform so you could buy a better deal and it's in perfect resolution but would it change the way you feel? Just give me something I could die for take me somewhere you could kill and light the way with fame and glory there is no such thing as "real" I need to find a new obsession They say to take it after breakfast and don't take more than just a few so that you don't end up all crazy we still want you to stay you cause it's important that you stay here and that you find something to do and that you keep up with the fashion because if it's not you than who? Just give me something I could die for take me somewhere you could kill and light the way with fame and glory there is no such thing as "real" I need to find a new obsession

Quiet 03:24
I had me a bird on a wire and I had me a girl on a chain I had me a brother named Abel and i had me a brother named Cain I had me a bottle of bourbon then I had me a nightmare from hell but I never have any quiet inside my head I had me a talk with my doctor and I had me a talk with my friend and my doctor prescribed marijuana and my friend, well, he gave me cocaine so I had me a small revelation followed by a big ol' panic attack but I never have any quiet inside my head So I had me a bird on a wire and she took my girl and she flew away and I had me a brother named Abel, well, he was killed by my brother named Cain So I had me another bottle of Bourbon, just to wash all my sorrow away but I'll never have any quiet inside my head.

Summer Rain 03:38
Maybe it's because you don't listen very well maybe it's bad timing that always makes you fail maybe it's your thoughts, you just need to rearrange and maybe it's just another season's changed Maybe this time it is her or him or them yourself you just can not seem to blame maybe you just don't know how to play the game maybe it's the seasons that keep on changing just the same, they keep on changing another season's changed maybe it's the way your parents raised you maybe it's the lover who betrayed you Either way, it feels like summer rain perhaps it's just another season's changed Another season's changed

Let's stay naked in the house all day let's pretend we never head it any other way, let's just stay Let's stay naked in the house all day let's pretend we never head it any other way, let's just stay and when you go your way I will go your way too Let's play Adam & Eve today eat forbidden fruits and watch Louie C.K in my bed and when you go your way I will go your way too

Would you forgive life for giving you sad days if it give you joy every once in a while? Wouldn’t it be nice if it wasn’t so bad and everything was right every once in a while? Wouldn’t be nice? Wouldn’t it be nice? Every once in a while. Did someone ever cry From something you said And You wish they would just smile Every Once In a While Would you forgive life for giving you sad days if it give you joy every once in a while? Wouldn’t be nice? Wouldn’t it be nice? Every once in a while.

Some peoples minds are busy solving problems Some peoples minds are busy planning wars Some people minds are preoccupied with others And mine, Is occupied with yours. And we’ll be there for each other, if you’ll be there for me too. That’s all you have to do. Some peoples hearts fail under the pressure Some peoples hearts seem to beat forever more Some peoples hearts are there for one another And mine, holds a beat for yours. And we’ll be there for each other, if you’ll be there for me too. That’s all you have to do. Some peoples souls are made to reincarnate Some peoples souls are gone and never more Some peoples souls are always in the music And mine, is tangled up with yours And we’ll be there for each other, if you’ll be there for me too. That’s all you have to do.

Home 04:12
People say a home is where the heart is so I keep my heart with me and I take it everywhere I go but I don't have a home, you see a home is when you make a family it's not something that you build and while my love is out to get me, I'll be in strawberry fields Worrying about tomorrow will only waste today put on your finest colors, come out and play Worrying about tomorrow will only waste today put on your finest colors, come out and play People say a home is where the heart is so I keep my heart with me and I take it everywhere I go but I don't have a home, you see a home is when you make a family it's not something that you build and while my love is out to get me, I'll be in strawberry fields Worrying about tomorrow will only waste today put on your finest colors, come out and play Worrying about tomorrow will only waste today put on your finest colors, come out and play

Seven billion fishes swimming in a bowl seven billion fishes have no goal seven billion kittens on a ball of yarn seven billion chickens in a barn The glaciers are melting the sky is turning gray everybody's dying just not today why should we stay? when we can head on out to Mars Seven billion puppies playing in the sand seven billion puppies have no plan seven billion birdies flying in the air seven billion cows, they don't care The glaciers are melting the sky is turning gray everybody's dying just not today why should we stay?

It ain't no secret, the way I feel for you I couldn't hide it behind a curtain couldn't shield you from the truth and even though all your ships have said on through I'm standing at the docks and I'm waiting here for you Hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again There's no mistake that we can't make Your skin is tanned, you're eyes are gray, your hair is blue and in my dream you never left and I'm laying next to you But I'm a wake as sure as this long day is through laying in the darkness, wondering what to do Hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again There's no mistake that we can't make Your rolling laughter is the best I ever knew but you took off on a plane and you took it there with you and all the elders of my tribe they fail me too looking for an answer, hoping for a clue Hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again There's no mistake that we can't make The tide is rising I must make our rendez-vous I'm waiting by this tree, for Godo and for you in broken German I then whisper back at you: Ich liebe dich mein Leben Oh, honey I need you To hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again Hold me in your arms again There's no mistake that we can't make

The day is done, the night is near and from afar I can see those city light as they appear I can see my house from here She hears my call, from far away she won't let me fall, she won't let me fail as long as we're together and I trust her so For there is honor among thieves and we are all thieves here and together we shall steal the night a way Berlin, Berlin Berlin, Berlin Berlin, Berlin Berlin, Berlin The day removes the night away those city lights they fade to gray this morning as I wake inside my bed I step outside, I breath the air, I steal the time right, right under her oh, but she don't mind and she trusts me so For there is honor among thieves yes, there is honor among thieves and we are all thieves here and together we shall steal another day Berlin, Berlin Berlin, Berlin Berlin, Berlin Berlin, Berlin
