Cosmic People

When time and space
Are all erased
And your mind is free to roam
And through your dreams
Runs a stream
Of visions from the Great Beyond

Lay down. Close your eyes
Let your spirit fly

When space and time’s
No longer tied
To your mortal frame
Then you’ll recall
The true meaning of your name

Lay down. Close your eyes
Let your spirit fly

And through your dreams
Runs a stream
Of fragments of a life
Then you’ll receive the tokens
From the hand of the midwife…

Lay down. Close your eyes
Let your spirit fly

Poison Arrow

Poison pumping thru my brain
Your message, what does it contain?
You’re pointing with your poison arrow
At my heart and at my head

You’re calling me, I can listen to you weep
You cry more convincingly than Meryl Streep
And you’re flirting better than Sharon Stone
And you’re hitting harder than Rocky Stallone

You’re feeding on my brain
You’re feeding on my body
Promises you choose to break and
Every thing I must forsake and

Everything I’ll ever miss
You great me with a traitors kiss
We’re talking and talking and talk, talk, talk
You’re messing with my head…

You call on me when you’re in need
In need, indeed, indeed, indeed…
Inaccurate information
No communication… desperation

In the night you call on me
To bring you light so you can see

You’re calling me, I can listen to you weep
You cry more convincingly than Meryl Streep
And you’re flirting better than Sharon Stone
And you’re hitting harder than Rocky Stallone

You’re aiming with your poison arrow
At my heart and at my head
Expecting me to roll over
Fetch the paper and play dead

Feeding on my brain
Feeding on my body

Promises you choose to break and
Everything I must forsake and…

Everything I’ll ever miss…
You great me with a traitors kiss
We’re talking and talking and talk, talk, talk
You’re messing with my head…

You’re aiming with your poison arrow…
You’re aiming with your poison arrow…

Lilith

Hey Lilith, stay away
I won’t believe a word you’re saying
She’d never do those things to me!

They’re all lies! It’s not true!
I don’t know what you’re trying to do…
She’d never do those things to me!

Because I love her
I know her
I’ll always be her lover
She’d never do those things to me

Hey Lilith, you’re a liar
The reason for my paranoia
You never knew her like I do!
You’re guilty of infiltration
Of character assassination
You never knew her like I do!

Because I love her
I know her
I’ll always be her lover
She’d never do those things to me

I love her
I know her
I’ll always be her lover
She’d never do those things to me

Once Bitten (Twice Shy)

It's not a pleasant place to be
Once you have given up trying
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy

In a corner of my life,
I sit and watch the world pass by
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy

Hit rock bottom In my face
Withdrew from the human race
I had other fish to fry

Once I was eager, I was young
Now I wish to be left alone
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy

Oh, I knew something was wrong
I could feel it in my bones
Couldn't deny it if I tried

In my head a little voice
Told me that I had no choice
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy

Now I've got to turn around
And how crazy it may sound,
Got to spread my wings and fly

If I think twice, I'm gonna stay
I cannot go on this way
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy

Once bitten twice shy
Once bitten twice shy

Hit rock bottom In my face
Withdrew from the human race
I had other fish to fry

Once I was eager, I was young
Now I wish to be left alone
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy

Strangers

There's a hiding-place where strangers go
They will hide their face because they know
They will be exposed to stranger’s eyes
And so they're keeping their disguise...

You'll see them on the streets of London
And on Paris' avenues
New York's angels cry for mercy
Crying for eternal youth

The ticking of the clock... the race against the time
They're feeding off their fans. They'll do their pantomime
As long as they get paid
They're doing their charade...

They close their eyes as time goes by
They'll fade away, but they will never die
A stranger's voice might sooth their pain
Or a silver spoon on a silver chain...

You'll see them on the streets of Oslo
Partaking of forbidden fruit
Berlin's angels cry for mercy
Crying for eternal youth

There's a hiding-place where strangers go
They will hide their face because they know
They will be exposed to stranger's eyes
And so they're keeping their disguise...

Lisa's Gone

Lisa’s gone
Lisa’s gone
No one knows what she’s done
Who she’s with; is she having fun?
Lisa’s gone
Lisa’s gone

Fred is dead
Fred is dead
He got shot in the head
On his way to get wed
Fred is dead
Fred is dead
Lisa’s gone and Fred is dead…

She came from nowhere
And she did not belong to anyone
She heard a voice inside her head…
She decided to respond

Lisa’s gone
Lisa’s gone
Took off with her daddy’s gun
Lisa’s mad at every one
Lisa’s gone
Lisa’s gone
Fred is dead and Lisa’s gone …
