Passion Factory

Right here in this district
There’s a new institution
And everyone has the chance
to ask for our help

Everyone is frantic – sick of the daily routine

For many years we have tried
to create a machine
Now here it is –
The Passion Factory

Everyone is frantic – sick of the daily routine

We will take your sorrow away
and we’ll give you strength everyday
Take the test and then you will see
you will like that Passion Factory
(repeat)

Allthough It’s synthetic
It’s a real help for you
We need a nation that’s satisfied –
Everyday

Everyone is frantic – sick of the daily routine

We will take your sorrow away
and we’ll give you strength everyday
Take the test and then you will see
you will like that Passion Factory (repeat)

X-Ray Eyes

In a silent night
In a place they call terrific
I couldn’t speak a word
When I saw this miracle

She stood there with a smile – but she said nothing to me

Her eyes were gleaming bright
They were sending out a light

She stood there with a smile – but she said nothing to me

A secret weapon she calls her own
I always call it X-Ray Eyes

X-Ray Eyes – A secret weapon has taken my will (repeat)

But she is no sorceress
And she doesn’t come from outer space
She is just a girl
And she looks good to me

She stood there with a smile – but she said nothing to me
She’s just like all the others
But her eyes are killing me

She stood there with a smile…

Satellite City

Boy and girl – in the year 4001
In the Satellite City – the future’s just begun
Man and woman – immortality of life
In the Satellite City – they will stay alive

In the Satellite… In the Satellite City (repeat)

Of animal creatures – there isn’t a trace
In the Satellite City – there’s just the human race

In the Satellite… In the Satellite City (repeat)

Do you want to come with me
And join the Satellite dream

Boy and girl – in the year 4001…

In the Satellite City – Life’s a Satellite dream (repeat)

Runaway

It started some years ago – when the grownups were hunting me
I knew, I couldn’t struggle – against them
The performance principle – is crushing me to death
I want to shake it off – I want to runaway

I try to hide away in dreams – but reality frightens me
Can’t find no exit – no chance to runaway
I try to hide away in love – because I know it helps me out…
to have a girl whoe helps me, helps me runaway

There’s no reason to stay – my life seems to be a runaway…

I try to hide away in bars – but all they want is money
And so I have one more reason, reason to runaway

The performance principle – is crushing me to death
I want to shake it off – I want to runaway

There’s no reason to stay – my life seems to be a runaway…

The Desert Place

I’m sitting here in this desert place
And there’s no sign of life on face
There’s no way back to my home
I have to stay here – here on my own

They really left me here to stay
And now my world is so far away

There’s no place for a man like you – They told me
And so you stay in this desert place

I’m sitting here in this desert place
And there’s no sign of life on face
There’s no way back to my home
I have to stay here – here on my own

They really left me here to stay…

Night, Lights And Shadows

Night, lights and shadows
And you by my side
No more love in the darkness
We will teach you all

The sun’s on the other side
Waiting to shine again
But that’s no reason
To sleep at night

Night, lights and shadows
And you by my side

All I can do, is tell you about it
Now It’s up to you, to do what you like

See all the children
Cruising in the streets
Nobodys Children
No one’s taking care

Don’t throw your life away
Don’t waste your time
You have to realize
what you have to do

All I can do, is tell you about it
Now It’s up to you, to do what you like (repeat)

Younger days

I think back to younger days –
when I got in touch with girls
I was always excited –
and had my first sleepless nights

Everyday I lost my heart –
to another girl I met
To hold her was all I wanted

Day by day I have to pay
Here I stay old and grey
Younger days they never return

I think back to younger days…

Synthetic world

Do you know what you’re wearing
Do they tell you what you’re eating
Do you know what you’re seeing
Do they tell you what’s in the air

Synthetic wool – and no real food
Synthetic vision – and no real breath

Do you know how you live
Do they tell you who’s good to you
Do you know what she’s made of
Do they tell you if you’re real

Synthtic life – and no real love
Synthtic girl – and no real man

If you ask you get no answer
But I’m the spokesman for real nature

Synthtic world – and nothing is real
Synthtic world – and nothing is real (repeat)

Do you know what you’re wearing…
