Osaka After Dark (LIVE)

I had a ticket to fly so I boarded a plane
When a combat dressed stewardesse shouted my name
I'm wanted alive yeah! I'm in for a trial
It's minimum mercy coz they found my file
Hijacked, kidnapped, trailed and trapped
They fly me in I'm gonna pay for all of my sins - now it begins
Yeah! I've a found place where girls eat men
Now I'm back in girl nation again
Girl nation Female civilization
Girl nation Female civilization

It's a female tale it's hard to use words
But I'm landed and stranded among oysters & birds
Bad bush & dangerous curves bad boys get what they deserves
Wild sisters dancing all night Round that totem
With a knife to my throat Round that totem
Yeah! They're chanting the oath
Singing 'bout mama all through the night round that totem of the red light
In girl nation Female civilization
Girl nation Female civilization
In girl nation by interstellar navigation
And sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting to ladyland Back where time began

One wild second then I was down
One full circle they stood all around
Counting my bones waiting to be dead
When a soft loving hand lifted my head
Tender lips kissing my chin, whispering:
- Honey, where have you been?
In girl nation Totem of the red light
Female civilization
In girl nation Totem of the red light
It's a female civilization Girl nation
Totem of the red light
By interstellar navigation & sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting through ladyland - back where time began
In girl nation ...

ZCMI

Say if you see a vicious lightning on the nighttime sky
There's no use checkin' the starmap or aski daddy why
And if you get me on the wire I'll give you this reply:
See I'm comin' higher'n'higher over chimneypot'n'spire
ZCMI Yeah! I'm that high flyin' guy
ZCMI And when the moon sails by
ZCMI I smile and wave goodbye
ZCMI

Beyond the end of space to the future and back
In search of solid ground to plant our flag
Yeah! We planned to build a base but the sky was too black
See I'm comin' higher'n'higher over chimneypot'n'spire
ZCMI Yeah! I'm that high flyin' guy
ZCMI And when the moon sails by
ZCMI I smile and wave goodbye
ZCMI
ZCMI Surrender or die!
ZCMI I'm that high flyin' guy
ZCMI Yeah! I smile and wave goodbye...
ZCMI When the moon sails by....
Yeah! I'm the ZCMI

Rim of Hell

I'll start your day with a shock
See one of these days 'bout 12 o'clock
The world will turn into a little rock
And it's going to fall down with the sound of a knock
See I'm one of these guys who's nice to know
Coz I know a place to go it's just down the generation gap
I'll take you there in a red hot cab..
And if you want I mean you really really want
I'll show you my hometown and it's down
Yeah, you can tell by the smell
So close you can hear them yell

They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Oh lord let me live to tell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell

And meet your host lift your glass for a toast..
Don't be afraid of the colours he wear
Look around all your friends are here
Now don't say you've had enough stay a while stay tough!
Grab his horns like you just don't care
We'll eat his fire and drink what's there - yeah!
'Coz if you want - I'll take you down down..
I mean you really really want - I'll show you my home town...
Lets stay untill the end - the very end!.
And to be saved by the bell so close we almost fell

They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Yeah! You can tell by the smell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
To the edge and back and to the edge again
Too hot for the D.J. and too hot for his friends
C'mon party!!
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Yeah!!
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Oh lord, let me live to tell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Please, I can't stand the smell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell

Sleeping My Day Away

Mumbling goodmorning & raising my head
A bad breath kiss to my pillow pet
I take a look at the day turns & stay in bed
Open my eyes when the day have died
I turned the world and I slept allright
Now my daymare is over I zip my jeans tight
Oh lord won't you bless this night...

When my dreams begin I'd be proud to be letting you in
With a smile on my face I guide our dreamboat in
So if you wanna travel along with me
You better sleep tight the rest of the day
You see I could be a sleeper it's not rest I lack
'Coz I hit the sack when the suns coming back

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
I'm sleeping my day away
And when the night comes to the city I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! With my pale lips in the pillow I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
That after dark - is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day
I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! Now I've turned the world around yeah! I did it again
I'm sleeping my day away
And now I have to wear my shades down sleepers lane
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! All the good people have gone to bed again
I'm sleeping my day away
'Coz the devil's at work inside my brain
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away away...

Lords of the Atlas

In my travelling heart, there's an urge to see
Foreign lands and alien birds, new stories that noone heard
To stick a pin in the globe and to believe and hope
There's a whole new world to unravel
As far as a boyscout can travel..
Company of adventurers On the secret track
Caesars of the wilderness Around the world & back
Cardcarrying members Lords of the atlas

To see God standing on a local hill
And to know there's forests unthrod still
Don't look back when you climb the stairs
I'm travelling on mental fares
Going through the eternal cloudland
To the ends of the world..
And after 2000 steps of climbing...
- I know it was the whole trip worth!
Company of adventurers On the secret track
Caesars of the wilderness Around the world and back
Cardcarrying members Lords of the atlas
- We're the lords Yeah, we're the lords of the atlas

Sitting crosslegged on a persian rug
Addicted to a 1000 drugs
Our flags nailed onto a mast
Captain says: Forward fast.!

Company of adventurers On the secret track
Caesars of the wilderness Around the world and back
Cardcarrying members Lords of the atlas

Wild Talk

Yeah! I heard a phone ring from deep down within
A friendly voice whistling under my skin
Yeay! I have to stop my enterprise below
But I'm not so sure the guy will let me go...
Yeah! My girls says I'm overdressed & my God says nothing at all
Yeah! It's funny how I'm in hip-deep feels like the D's got my soul
Overmuch I'm too much I'm overmuch
I'm way over Overmuch
I'm too much I'm overmuch
I'm way out of reach and way out of touch

And I roll on the floor that's what the floor is for
And I walk out that door that's what the door is for
In the night I'm way out of sight
But in the day I keep getting in the way Yeah!!
You see my friends says I'm over the top & I should chill out the wild
But, you can see it in my face & my smile I'm gonna stay for a while
Overmuch I'm too much I'm overmuch
I'm way over Overmuch
I'm too much Too overmuch
Much Much Much Much Overmuch AhhYeah!
Overmuch I wasn't born as such
Overmuch But I've become way I've become way*3
I'm way over overmuch Overmuch
That's what I am, Yeah! I'm overmuch
Yeah, tell me... Overmuch
I'm not like other men I'm too much I'm overmuch!

Overmuch

Love is a drug for the heart
We try it once and we're caught
You said love was a flame
And you won't get burned again

But maybe love is like the wind
It won’t care where you’ve been
All you need is to try
And you’ll fly

(chorus)
I wanna know love now
Because I can’t live without
And for the life of me I’ll keep trying
To find a way to your heart
And that’s where I’ll start…

Maybe love’s like a bridge
But stopped halfway is what I did
Afraid of the opposite shore
And you wanted more

Maybe love is like a lake
The deeper and darker it gets
The more you lose of yourself
I’m afraid

When I'm watching from afar it seems so easy
Then I get up close, and words just fail me
’Cause love slips away, when you tell it to stay
