01. Hallabrooklyn 

 

Wide awake although it’s midnight

The silence's just too painful to ignore

I wish I had an apartment

Above some tony bar in New York

 

Atlantic Avenue - be loud

Let your  rhythm never stop

Atlantic Avenue - go on

Cheer me up

 

Hallabrooklyn

Is too far from New York

Too far from New York

Hallabrooklyn

Is too far from New York

Too far from New York

 

Oh my soul is getting hollow

I'll waste away in my cocoon

And my wings will lose their power

If I cannot spread them soon

 

Atlantic Avenue be loud - take me to my Queens

Atlantic Avenue - on your highway to my dreams 

 

Hallabrooklyn

Is too far from New York

Too far from New York

Hallabrooklyn

Is too far from New York

Too far from New York

 

I'm in Hallabruck - not Brooklyn

Rather silent - not Long Island

Instead of walking on a pier

I’m meeting neighbours for a beer

But these times I need more

And in my dreams I'm in New York

 

 

​

02. I got hope

​

Just like the trees’ eternity

Surviving you, surviving me

Just like the sun inspires me

No matter how dark the day will be

 

Just like the flower finds a way

Through all those walls of bitter grey

Walls we create to be like stronger men

But Nature breaks so much more than we ever can

 

I got hope

No matter what tomorrow brings

I got hope

Oh this world Is beautiful

​

Like the water’s a master of his own 

And not like the way we want it to flow

Just like the snow falls on the ground

And not cause we want white christmas all around

 

Just like the chaos of a child

Not being told not to be wild

Just like the day without the news

About a lunatic that shoots

 

I got hope

No matter what tomorrow brings

I got hope

Oh this world Is beautiful

 

We say No No

C’mon and stop the show

We dont, don’t let this planet go

We got hope, hope 

C’mon on and now hear us roar

We are no dependants anymore

 

 

 

 

 

03. Holodeck

 

When my doubts just won't stop whispering - inside me

So that I don't know if all is right - with me

And when I feel like I am all alone - with all my worries

When I don't like what I see in my mirror

I sing to cheer up

​

Astronaut 

Wish you could be here with me

And free my life from all its gravity

Astronaut 

Lend me your holodeck, holodeck, holodeck

And bring my life and my mind back on track

​

When I feel like I'm redundant - no use 

And when there are too many options for me to choose

I wish I could delay all the anwers

When my head and my heart have a fight

When all inside me is screaming for love, but my tongue is tied.

​

Astronaut 

Wish you could be here with me

And free my life from all its gravity

Astronaut 

Lend me your holodeck, holodeck, holodeck

And bring my life and my mind back on track

​

Oh, when I don't like what I see in my mirror

I sing loud to cheer up

 

​

​

 

04. Paper Aeroplane

 

 

Flying blind upon your world

Hey dragon fly

The clouds like wadding in the sky

​

Colors  turn to green and blue

See you soon

And people passing bye

 

The planet turns, I turn to you 

Let’s leave the tears behind

​

Hey paper aeroplane

I wann see the world like you

Hey paper aeroplane

Fade into the blue

​

I’m not flying anywhere

The wind decides

To where I’m turning to

​

I don´t feel no pain at all

What bothers me

Gets swallowed by the moon

 

A ray of light just hit my eyes - huhu

While I’m over Kauai

 

Hey paper aeroplane

I wann see the world like you

Hey paper aeroplane

Fade into the blue

 

Hey fly with me 

Take me away

To Fullmoon Bay

 

Flying blind upon your world

Hey dragon fly

And people passing bye

 

 

 

​

05. I’m over it

 

I open up my door

Before you had a chance to ring 

I feel it all before

This way it’s always been

 

 

You take off your shoes

as if you were now here to stay

Your presence - so intense

I miss you more than I can say

 

You light up a cigarette and

smile as if you've won

Though I don't think that's sexy

it really turns me on

 

You still are - oh - so reckless

it makes me want you more

You take off your clothes

and then we do it on the floor

 

I kept on hoping

kept dreaming, longing, aching and I never stopped to wait

I kept on leaving

My door’s a little open

Though I know it's kinda late

And after all those lonely years

you're coming through my door

Thinking it will all go back to how it was before

I’m over it

You know I’m over it

You know I’m over it

Are we over it now

 

Lying naked on the floor

Shows off what we are

You act like always

But you can’t feel my heart

 

I never could resist you 

And I sure could not today

But going back to how it was

You know there is no way

 

I took so many chances

I often was so scared

Until I realised someday

You never really cared

 

You’re still attracting me

But what is what YOU see

Cause I don't need no hot shot, babe

I need a real man next to me 

 

 

 

06. California

 

I´m going to California

I´m gonna leave my grief behind 

I´m gonna join the place where the sunshine reigns the night

 

I´m gonna change my broken glasses

Into bottles of delicate fun

I´m gonna be the queen that John sees walking along

​

Just open the world in my head

And let the sunshine in, let the sunshine in

The waves make a beautiful bed

And I lay down within

And let the sunshine in

See I don´t wanna be too far

From California

 

You had many dreamers before me

But you’re not laughing at me

Can you stand another maniac

Have me for free

 

You got that beautiful sunshine

For not only the blessed ones of us

A drink in our hands by the pool in the hills

We’re so bon vivant but who will pay our bills

 

Just open the world in my head

And let the sunshine in, let the sunshine in

The waves make a beautiful bed

And I lay down within

And let the sunshine in

See I don´t wanna be too far

From California

 

 

 

07. Friend

 

Sometimes I seem to be all alone

My heart is heavy - just like a stone

And noone sees that I don't feel alright

 

I should be happy, 'cause honestly 

My life is beautiful and so carefree

But now I need  much more than love tonight

​

And then I long for just a good old friend

Who sits in my kitchen, and holds my hand

And drowns my worries in gin and wine

Today I need a friend

 

But we are now miles apart

Oh, the distance cuts deep

And each of us lives a separate life and dreams

Listening to the songs we love

Oh, time's just flying by

Today, today I need a friend

​

Sometimes when I look at my old guitar

I miss those endless nights at Nessie's bar

She knew our drinks and all those things you would’n t talk about

​

Well we talked all night and planned the change 

The world was ready to be re-arranged

All secrets would be solved and brought to light

In just one night

​

And then I long for just a good old friend

Who sits in my kitchen, and holds my hand

And drowns my worries in gin and wine

Today I need a friend

 

Oh but we are now miles apart

Oh, the distance cuts deep

And each of us lives a separate life and dreams

Listening to the songs we love

Oh, time's just flying by

Today, today I need a friend

Today, today I need a friend.

 

​

 

08. Wall

 

Oh, I'm facing a wall and I cannot go on

 It makes me feel so small, so alone and withdrawn

 With my back on the sea and the tide coming in

 There is nowhere to turn, there is no way to win

 

 Oh this wall is my life, and I raise my eyes

 In the past I would have used my wings to fly 

 But now I have grown roots to feel safe and sound

 No more chasing the clouds, I am bound to the ground

 

Oh, who can help me I want to know

Where I come from, where I should go

Life is a journey, it's a test and it's a riddle

And I am on my way, somewhere in the middle

 

And when I close my eyes, I can see so much more

Deep down inside there's a permanent war

I know I want to change, but remain who I am

Finding my peace and be free that’s my aim 

 

Life, you keep changing, you twist and turn

Lessons over lessons that we must learn

You can give us so much, or just take it away

Yes you hold the truth that we search everyday

 

Oh, who can help me I want to know

Where I come from, where I should go

Life is a journey, it's a test and it's a riddle

And I am on my way, somewhere in the middle

 

The tide pushes me onto the wall

Now my head is underwater

Feathers floating around and I just cannot recall

Who am I

 

​

 

09. Another beautiful day

 

Another beautiful day

I woke up in paradise

I knew this was heaven a soon as I opened my eyes

Since I was there I was aware

This is the most beautiful love that I’ve ever known

 

On and on the bird keeps singing its song

From the heart 

And I wish that I could be a part

 

Days are bright

And in the night

A beautiful black blanket

Covers the innocent white

 

I am one with the sea

Feeling the energy

The waves are breaking the shores

And washing my worries away from me

 

The waterfall flows

From my head down to the toes

And I shine so much brighter

Than the morning light

 

On and on the bird keeps singing its song

From the heart

And I wish that I could be a part

 

Days are bright

And in the night

A beautiful black blanket

Covers the innocent white
