Modern Lifestyle – Songtexte

Slow down, slow down, there’s no need to run around
Here’s a new craze, a better mode of living
Think it over, make the most of your time here
Let me tell you, this is my own solution

Don’t care what the others say
Look at me, I’ll show you the way

To a modern lifestyle.
Live the modern lifestyle

Lie down in the sun, have yourself a good time
Pick up colours, wear them as a party dress
Cruise around with friends and let all the others sweat
All their orders are only there to be denied

Don’t care what the others say
Look at me, I’ll show you the way.

To a modern lifestyle
Live the modern lifestyle

I thought it would be easy to forget you
For after all it’s been such a long time
And yet the memories of you still hurt me
They’ve been inscribed with needles in my mind

I’m sure I could convince you
If only you would let us meet again

Face to face – Heart to heart
Face to face – Heart to heart

Think back to when we were together
How long we thought our mutual love would last
How hard it was for us to leave each other
Is all of that now buried in the past?

I’m sure I could convince you
If only you would let us meet again

Face to face – Heart to heart…

Her look alone revealed
That she was easy
And so you took her
With equanimity

It soon became so clear
How deeply she had fallen
And you were quite prepared
To play with her

And the day will come
When your mask will drop
For you will understand
she’s irreplaceable
you’ll soon ask yourself
What has caused her to change
For you cannot feel
What oppresses her

And suddenly you want to hear
Her confession of love
But what she replies
You will not understand

Now the day has come
Where she has left and you can see
Nothing in life returns

And now the day has come
How your mask has dropped
For you can understand
she’s irreplaceable

In colourful glory you rode across the heath
Armour-plated with steel and armed to the teeth
When you met with your foe you fought to the death
And didn’t give up until quite out of breath

So where are you now
You great knights of old
Your honours betrayed
And your castles are sold

You took from the rich and you gave to the poor
And rescued fair maidens who were near to death’s door
You went on crusades for justice and right
And fought against evil with all of your might

So where are they now
The great knights of old
In our time we need
Such pillars of gold

Automatic man
Slow-motion man
Achievement of the century
Wires instead of veins

You have to be my subject
You have to be my servant

Automatic man
Slow-motion man
Heartless metal
Circuit reactions

You have to be my subject
You have to be my servant

Automatic man
I’m unable to move

The moment has come
To take new steps
Now you have to decide

Name your destination
Where can I find you
Is that your place forever?

Will you go with the masses
Or do you have your own plans?
There’s a chance to realize ideas

New days, new ways

Don’t hesitate any longer
You have been confused
Now you have to go in search

After all those years
You have to be yourself
No doubt, It’s now or never

Will you go with the masses
Or do you have your own plans?
There ’s a chance to realize ideas

New days, new ways

Traces of a lonely one
Tears in a silver cup
I saw the silhouette
Of somebody who followed me

Im lying in a grave
Someone is talking
I try to hide my face
Like the girl behind the folding screen

Framed in eternal lies
A whole life in disguise
Stripes on the horizon
My heart inside a case of glass

Im a prisoner in a gilded cage
Who’s waiting for you

Surrounded by breath a voice discovers the way
Serious words, the meaning without anger
It talks about things I never wanted to hear
Escaping is the end, truth has never been

I’m staying alive with my sensitive mind
I ‚m staying alive, if there’s someone to talk to beside me

Hundreds of eyes in an ocean of tears
My hand reaching and trying to feel
The darkness disappears, I’m blinded by the light
It’s all so easy, if I feel I can talk to you

I’m staying alive with my sensitive mind
I’m staying alive, if there’s someone to talk to beside me

Piecing together my thoughts
The way it all began
Times are changing
And my thoughts are lost in space

Birds and dogs

Something very special
Had taken place in my life
I’m thinking about the two of us
And it turned me inside out

Birds and dogs

Now when hours seem longer
I’ll be alone with endless sounds and noise
It won’t break down, no chance to rest
And it sounds like a thousand birds and dogs

Seasons fading away
There will always be tomorrow
Restless shadows follow my rut
Exploring to my inside

Birds and dogs

Now when hours seem longer…
