Human Behaviour
if you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready to get confused
there's definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so irresistible
there's no map
to human behaviour
they're terribly moody
then all of a sudden turn happy
but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions is ever so satisfying
there's no map
and a compass
wouldn't help at all
human behaviour
only if a ship would sail in
and knocked on my door
or just (or just) something
Crying Venus As A Boy
i travel his wicked sense of humour
all around the city
go in and out of
locomotives touches. he's venus as a boy
all alone
there's no-one here
and people everywhere
crying 'cause i need you
crying i can feel you
crying 'cause i need you
crying 'cause i care
it's a hot day
and i'm dressed lightly
i move carefully
through the crowd
here everyone
is so vulnerable
and i'm aswell
there's no-one here
and people everywhere
crying 'cause i need you
crying i can feel you
crying 'cause i need you
crying 'cause i care
or just somebody came
crying 'cause i need you
crying 'cause i need you
There's More To Life Than This
come on girl
suggests exciting sex let's sneak out of this party
his fingers focus on her it's getting boring
there's more to life than this!
it's still early morning
he believes in beauty
he's venus as a boy we could go down to the harbour
and jump between the boats
he's exploring and see the sun come up
the taste of her
we could nick a boat
arousal
and sneak off to this island
so accurate
i could bring my little ghettoblaster
he sets off
there's more to life than this
the beauty in her
but then we'd have to rush back
he's venus as a boy
to the town's best baker
he believes in beauty to get the first bread of the morning
there's more to life than this
he's venus as a boy
Like Someone In Love
lately i find myself out gazing at stars
hearing guitars
like someone in love
sometimes the things i do astound me
mostly whenever you're around me
lately i seem to walk as though i have wings
bump into things
like someone in love
each time i look at you i'm limp as a glove
and feeling like someone in love
this change i feel puzzles me
it's strange, a real mystery
maybe you see it
if you do see it
what on earth can it be?
 Big Time Sensuality One Day

i can sense it one day

something important it will happen
is about to happen one day, one day
it's coming up it will all come true
it takes courage to enjoy it one day
the hardcore & the gentle when you're ready
big time sensuality one day, one day
when you're up to it
we just met
the atmosphere
and i know i'm a bit too intimate
will get lighter
but something huge is coming up
and two suns ready
and we're both included
to shine just for you
it takes courage to enjoy it
i can feel it
the hardcore & the gentle
big time sensuality one day
it will happen
i don't know my future after this weekend one day, one day
and i don't want to! it will all make sense
it takes courage to enjoy it one day, one day
the hardcore & the gentle you will blossom
big time sensuality one day, one day
when you're ready
an aeroplane
will curve gracefully
around the volcano
with the eruption that never lets you down
i can feel it
and the beautifullest
fireworks are burning
in the sky just for you
i can feel it
one day
one day
 Aeroplane Come To Me Violently Happy violently happy
it will get me into trouble
i can not live come to me since i met you violently happy
peacefully without you i'll take care of you this small town hasn't got room i'm driving my car
for even a moment protect you for my big feelings too fast
i miss you terribly calm, calm down with ecstatic music on
violently happy
when you're away you're exhausted violently happy
'cause i love you
come lie down i'm getting too drunk
he's away
you don't have to explain violently happy violently happy
this ain't right
i understand but you're not here i'm daring people
i'm alone
i'm taking an aeroplane you know violently happy to jump off roofs with me
across the world that i adore you come calm me down only you
to follow my heart you know before i get into trouble can calm me down
that i love you i'm aiming too high
how come i tip-toe down to the shore
so don't make me say it
out of all the people in the world stand by the ocean soothe me
it would burst the bubble
only one make it roar at me
break the charm
can make me complete and i roar back
one word on the phone jump off
violently happy
makes me happy your building is on fire
'cause i love you
but one touch directly i'll catch you
makes me ecstatic i'll catch you violently happy
destroy all that is keeping you back but you're not here
he's away
and then i'll nurse you
this ain't right violently happy
i'll nurse you
i'm alone overemotional
i'm taking an aeroplane come to me
across the world i'll take care of you violently happy
to follow my heart you don't have to explain i'll get into trouble
i understand real soon
if you don't get here
baby
violently happy
'cause i love you
violently happy
i'm aiming too high
The Anchor Sonng
i live by the ocean
and during the night
i dive into it
down to the bottom
underneath all currents
and drop my anchor
no-one cares and no-one loves
this is where i'm staying
this is my home
it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
Play Dead
darling stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful enbraces
don't you understand?
i have to go through this
i belong to here where
no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear
i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and the hurting stops
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache
i play dead
it stops the hurting
