On the train to Babylon
You know well that the rails are gone
Pass the Sanatorium
Riding the line for so long
At the tender age of 21
To put you out in exile
A transporter
To lost time
Gazing deep into the Sound
Saw a world turned inside out
How your Temple's burning red
You felt the virus in your head
Moving cross the countryside
Invisible forces
A new order
A crossed wire
On the train to Babylon
You can't tell where the lines are drawn
Like a map you held up the past
It shattered like a wall of glass
The city turned to phantom life
In every quarter
A blank street.
A new mind.

how long
how long have I drifted
on these paper wings ?
Something's shifted.
Get me lifted
Get me lifted.
i saw a man
he looked like me
didn't tip his hat
which came as no surprise
he walked right by
i was sight unseen
he shined like money
smelled like lies
I heard a bell
that wont unring
I saw the city from
great height in the sky
is it dusty death
do the angels sing ?
la la la
do you think that someone's watching
I don't know.
how long
how long have I drifted
on these paper wings ?
Something's shifted.
Get me lifted
Get me lifted.
i heard a man
who talked like me
wore my favorite suit
and the color of his tie
was all that is
and cannot be
Do your dreams
leave you dry ?
Do you clock in the morning
and die by design ?
Was that you on
the Seine ?
Are you just seeing double
Or losing your mind ?
how long
how long have I drifted
on these paper wings ?
Something's shifted.
Get me lifted
Get me lifted.

Slow, letting go
September sun is fading.
You drew me a map of your hand
I held it in the light.
Low, the colors grow
And the tide pulls hard
Then you said our love was dry land,
still nothing can contain it.
You put an Ocean in my heart.
You put the waves between our hands.
You put an Ocean in my heart now honey.
And its crashing to the sand.
Time seems to float
But every night I’m sinking.
You were so lost when we began,
And now you’re out of sight.
So, I wrote you a note.
with no place to send
Give my regards to your new man,
I hope he treats you right, alright.
You put an Ocean in my heart.
You put the waves between our hands.
You put an Ocean in my heart now honey.
And its crashing to the sand.

Mr Delivery Man
I've been up all night
I ate all my feed
But u can make me right
From across the world
Right through the wall
Send me a dream
Catch me when I fall
I got lost in primetime
Deliver me from myself
You can be my main love
Deliver me from myself
Mr. Delivery Man
I'm boxing up my dreams
With a hot button order
A miracle Machine
Mr. Delivery Man
I'm underneath the floor
Give me what I lack
Straight from the factory door
I got lost in primetime
Deliver me from myself
You can be my main love
Deliver me from myself

I want to dance
into the night
i see your face
in the cosmic light
been half machine
from 9 to 5
out of orbit
til you arrive
there's only now
there's only love
take me to higher place
take me to higher place
i had a job
ran my lines
a little twist cost a
million miles
been lost in space
and lost in time
only you can make
up my mind
there's only now
there's only love
take me to higher place
take me to higher place
you say you left
a world behind
at half the distance
its a lonely ride
we can dance
we can rewind
honey i will be your
satellite
there's only now
there's only love
take me to higher place
take me to higher place

A drop in the ocean
But I saw the light
We speak at a distance
You booked your flight
Our New York Times
Lost the appeal
The days turning over
Madame Surreal
I feel you still
The sky’s dripping orange
Unto the pearl
And love is an island
That we knew, girl
Atlantis between us
The depths that kill
A world moving backwards
Madame Surreal
I feel you still

Paris, Berlin
Will you ever see those
Golden days again ?
With your neon eyes,
And glowing skin
The beat goes on
The story gets rewritten, again
Paris, Berlin
Je me sens comme un nuage, comme un violon
Walking those streets
With a phantom limb.
You offered me a drink,
A mixed up American
Hey babe
Hey babe
The big ring came
Swinging cross the sky
Upside down
Arm in Arm
Arm in Arm
Paris, Berlin
Diesem Seltsam Tagen man musst verstanden
When the lines are drawn,
But the shapes uncertain
They closed it all
Don’t you know our Lady’s burning.
Burning
Burning

All my life
been dying for another one
cross this lonesome countryside
All my days
workin as a hired gun
nothing satisfies
and its one of those nights
you don't know which side your on light breaks through the window
light breaks through the door
i don't have to lie
in a Buffalo motel anymore
light breaks through the window
I walk right out the door
I walk right out the door
All these years
haunt me like a drifter
in the badlands of my mind
All my tears
hit dark upon the pavement
id leave em all behind
on one of those nights
you don't expect the dawn
light breaks through the window
light breaks through the door
i don't have to lie
in a Buffalo motel anymore
light breaks through the window
1984
i don't have to lie
in a Buffalo motel anymore
I Walk right out the door
I Walk right out the door

a child in the eyes of love

Running against the wind.
They come on heavy from east to west
Take a look for yourself
Down the darkest street in Budapest
These days you gotta be someone else
Pay for the game but you didn't even get in
You gotta pick the rules out yourself
Dig in the ground yeah baby I said it
Seeds of Revolution
Human Evolution
Seeds of Revolution
From Bethlehem to Houston
Its only Human Evolution
One day they’ll start to root
Sweet fruit of every kind
They’ll be slipping over the border
Selling them on Prime Time
When I was the last man on earth
I had the feeling I had nowhere to grow
Then you put my hands in the dirt
And held them just so I know
