entrancExit (a love song for a solipsist)

i wouldn't run for life
i couldn't live for time
i shouldn't walk down roads
for I see the circle

if you want me to stay
i'd just tell you to wait
because our straightlines
will meet sometimes

every step outside causes steps back home
absurd leaving
curved logic

and in the mirror divine
i see the central shrine
concealing my world's fulcrum

going in going out
sphaeres revolving
entrancexit

our entrance is an exit
and between is space to run
and the state called freedom
is dancing love
or stumblin' hate

going in going out
sphaeres revolving
entrancexit

level 5

in the center of the sound she'll travel

through the darkness of a spinning wheel
til her ears are slowly dying
in this velvet she can't hear
and in the storm
that's carryin? her

across the border
running upstairs
but she was always reaching level 5

opened chests are singing hymns of morning
it's so strange to touch a sunbeam
with organs bare
she's cutting out her heart
to enjoy the silence
and in the flesh of death
she'll see no sin

across the border
running upstairs
but she was always reaching level 5

the wind

early in the morning
when i open my eyes
when day's slowly dawning
i still can smell sweet spice

i look around and see:
you left me with the night
there is a sound in me
i still can hear you say:

"baby, it's only, only the wind
that makes you feel so lonely
the stirring stormwind only

please don't try to hold
my breath in the ground
i'll grow quiet and cold
the wind is never bound"

some nights i can not sleep
i lay awake in bed
some words are cutting deep
the words you loveless said
so i rumble through streets
i listen to the wind
it is carrying seeds
and your voice within:

"baby, it's only, only the wind
that makes you feel so lonely
the stirring stormwind only

so if you have to sneeze
`cause my body is cold
my body's just a breeze
you will never hold

baby, it's only, only the wind
that makes you feel so lonely
the stirring stormwind only"

guardian angel

in the freeze of my room
dark men are approaching
very near is the doom
all the towers fall

i never wasted blood of my own
but now i fade away
why is it me to be shown
the inside of my soul?

take away the love you gave me
i feel falling apart
last night a guardian angel
left his bed in my heart

so far and gone are the clouds
i used to hide through my youth
so near the hate of the crowd
with their yellow shoes

take away the love you gave me
i feel falling apart
last night a guardian angel
left his bed in my heart

hypermarket: the neuromancer songs 1996 (for motox)

intro: the hypermarket

the very last night of the millenium
i saw mighty starships
crashed down on burning metropoles
i saw casuals
and gothicks
deformations of the flesh
i saw the plague and the saints returning
and dying scared
i was told: This is future
a Hypermarket
buy or sell

postwar time (the watchman's despair)

follow the highway where beetles sleepy crawl
i know you've seen all the shadows run
the world's turned to rubbish
and now your love has gone to Mars
the stars are so peaceful
the sun's covered with blood and pus

snow fills the roadholes
biohazard along your trail
i know you've seen all the soldiers march
airplanes like dead cranes
decomposing on coalblack sand
the moon is so peaceful
brightens up the shame of your land

once you caught some violence
to keep it deep inside
i know you'd like to set it free
set it free again

visitors (the straylight door)

shining reflections through the trees and branches
bodies are dancing a madmen's twist
is this the light? is this the vision?
ancient commands are alive in their heads
dancing the slavery walk against heartsound

perceive the liquid blackened eyes
the insect skins
never been buried
forgotten no more
they want to dance with everything
this could be the light
this ain't a fiction

burning chrome (lovers in agony)

she was a fragrant girl with skin steel-sleeky
a face of a child
with eyes belonging to a deep sea trench
bringing death to me i felt her blackrust hair
she told me that the stars are made of diamond ice

she's burning now
changing into lightening clouds
beneath her skin there's ore
her veins are veins of ore

Burning Chrome
Burning Chrome
only love
only fate

my credit card's erased
i feel no pity
there's just curiosity coming from my listening heart

she built more worlds than god
and told me that the stars are made of coke and spice
they're glowing like my nerves

she's burning now
changing into lightening clouds
beneath her skin there's ore
her veins oh! shining ore

Burning Chrome
Burning Chrome
only love
only fate
She was ascending burning
Burning Chrome
Burning Chrome

wintermute

the white cube is stunning
what makes me feel stringy?
all flatlines tell me
i've been cut away

light snow is falling
the cold lights are dimming
they said we won?t dream
we won't feel the cold

we built a straylight fortress
to be safe in the sunset
but very slowly
night came in
it filled our heads
with wintermute

two cold centuries
too much ice
too many januaries
behind my eyes

the freeze is carrying me away

bullet

i catwalked the boulevards
a god without adorers
dead passengers turned around
and sighed like a strange chorus

but then i passed you and it was cruel
you instantly caught me with your reticule

faster than sonic speed you impacted
i tried hard to stay upright and correct it
you stopped inside my hurted brain
my boiling blood fell like hard rain

you're a missile
you're a bullet with my name

when you're a victim you lose all disciples
no ambulance there for first-aid supply
life won't floating out of my distant body
for there is you to help not to die

you're a not removable projectile
i'll have to bear you for a while
your position's right behind my face
removing you would be the death

you're a bullet with my name

tulips

hear the subways breathing
highways fall asleep
oh those thin lines sssssecant
no don't start to weep

let us plant some tulips
let's pretend we're in love
don't resist my true lips
heaven send me tulips

all the stardust fishes
floating upside down
oh those skies so vvvvvvicious
can't you hear their sound?

let us plant some tulips
let's pretend we're in love
can't resist your fuel lips
heaven send me tulips

it's the end of matter
it's the time for doubts
deny the heavy weather
stay hidden in the clouds

let us plant some tulips
let?'s pretend we'll survive
you will touch my cool lips
heaven send me tulips

let me kiss your cruel lips
heaven send me tulips

godmachine

i'm a lifeform-reproducer
i scan your skies for ooezytes
i shoot my load thru time and space

what a pantheistic factory!
the horny spheres call out for me

i am the master plan
i am my species' fame
call me obscene:

i am a godmachine

skyscrapertown, mandala city
is my place to torture saints
beyond the crystal wall they cry
beneath the streets they call me mother

o central me!

i am the master plan
i am my species' fame
i change the scene

i am a godmachine

i pray for a mysterious death
i have to leave like elvis

scan...your...skies....
i am so central

i am the master plan
i am the godmachine

i can't go back

welcome to a vengeful world
this is some suffering inferno
i always got what i deserved
never had to regret a thing
i always had a transit card
but i didn't ever use it

and though the old days now seem better
though i once had life for two
i won't touch the door behind me

blood kills the past

i can't go back
with this hair too white
can't go back
with this change inside
i can't return
to event horizon
with you by my side

my memory chips erased all friends
who always came to use me
well, they wet a weeping wall
very far away from me
i always had some love to share
but i didn't ever leave you

and though the passed years now look greater
though all love songs want to quit
i won't touch the door behind you

i can't go back
through my history
can't forget
about destiny
i can't return
to event horizon
with you by my side

i can't go back
i can't return
all that was is raining down on me
with you by my side

the fuel of progress

you know i'll always go with you
nothing would stop our constant walk
too many bridges lay behind
each of our steps seems new

our eyes they hold some sunset frames
our ears the quiet sound of clouds
my nose bleeds out your easy skin
your tongue my passion's acid

there ain't no end for goin' forward
ere our lifes are through and gone
deep inside our bodies' engines
a little spring won't fail

sometimes
when i hold your fading hand
a touch of innocence is flooding through
somewhere
when i leave back my darkened shell
we are one
we two are free

one day when i shall go from you
that day, i hope, you'll touch my lips
my steps will have become a little faster
walk, don't run, i'll wait for you

tomorrow's tension

walking sadly through this fucking nation
in my eyes the dust of aberration
scratching at the surface of your smile
what i've been looking for?

between you and pitfalls for the future
my mouth became a speechless bloody suture
now i'm lying fallen near your feet
and i'm forever sore

my ripped heart waits
raped like a messiah
tomorrow?s tension
tauts it like a wire
waiting for the blood to flow again

between you and pitfalls for tomorrow
my eyes were pecked out by a manic sparrow
now i'm blinded, now it's dark
i'll never find the door

i'm forever sore

pattern

the deeper my wrinkles get
the faster i use to decide
the darker the shadows i fled
it's you i feel close to all night

because every hour we shrink
together beneath the surface
and all of our faraway dreams
jump out in the light of our days

embraces and aches made us a pattern
inside arabesque love we are free
we're an indestructable carpet
made of years
and made of you and me

our souls became two-in-one
we've interwoven our days
immortals we are but not shown
eternity's cold frightful face

spread yourself
let's build a body
kiss yourself
so that i feel your lips

embraces and aches made us a pattern
inside arabesque love we are free
we're an indestructable carpet
made of years
and made of you and me

my sun's up

i don't accept what makes you scared of
all your little worries
i could tell you dreams and wonders
your mind would crash down like a fallen plane

from now on my stars are burning
from this moment on they're mine
the day won't end to make amends
this is everything i'll ever feel

heaven's ripping open
my sun's up, i'm eternally ascending
earth has nothing left for me
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
forever

i can't feel the clouds you're under
no rain will ever soak me
now i'm falling up the sky
through a tunnel bright like all i loved

i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
forever

my sun's up far above your cities
burns them down to cinders
you are all so darn small
i don't fit among your little streets

heaven's ripping open
my sun's up, i'm eternally ascending
earth has nothing left for me
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
forever

and ever

another view of surroundings

ain't it funny how the breath leaves
how we wander o'er this surface
please allow me to be happy
please don't let me dive too deep

because down under there are cities
far away from all we know
and all we built for all our children
would be crushed if we'd climb down

world's a colourful wallpaper
wrapped around too many doors
we are lightspots, tiny scratches,
crawling across the lense of life

there's a fish of hidden meanings,
unifying hemispheres
don't be frightened by it?s silver
go and cut it's head in two

ain't it funny how the breath leaves
how we wander o'er this surface
please allow me to be happy
please don't let me live too deep

don't rely on religion

in the very last hour
at the end of flesh
summon all the power
for a final crash

in the very last hour
there's no time for prayers
run upstairs in the tower
you see jesus? don't care

don't rely on religion
when the blood runs out
it's some kind of fiction
never stop to doubt

no buddha who delivers
no mahmet fights for you
even shiva shivers
in this world of blue

don't rely on religion
on your final day
you are your only vision
there is no god to pray

reality

i sleep in an airplane
every time it starts to fall
the wailing of turbines
makes me dream of summer
when i'm sinking in winter
when i'm stumbling in my sleep
but when i wake up
there's blood all around...

comfort

in a season of sounds
your skin met my coat
and tranquility came over us
like the lights in the corn
you gave back my shadow
once stolen from me
and kissed me
in darkness

farewell

i'll go by
and i will never smell the nights
they'll seem to me
like lustreless pebbles
hitting the ocean-floor
in slow-motion
with this sound vanishing in my head

i'll go by
and you will hold my hand stronger
and i'll sense your hand going lighter
you'll become low-tide
on the beach of death
while i'll overflow it

succubus

now that i'm kneeling
by your shadow-eating picture
a door in my throat was pulverized
when i was searching for the words
which opened the passage to you
long ago
my adversary's the night
i won't pass the mirror!
forgotten animals in the asylum!
with my love the storm increases
i start to dream about your mouth
i always dreamt about your mouth
i know you
the animals!

illegible, sonofabitch (dedicated to louis bunuel)

pardon the man
he's only the doctor
step aside
and let a shotgun spit out
who are you?

in my dreams i saw policemen suiciding
in my sleep i held a weapon in my hand
in deepest trance i felt my train back home derailing
it will never bring me back to this white sand

pardon me
because i fear the thinker
inside his head
he slays a soundless chickenbrain
who are you?

give me your watch
you're only phoning with yourself

in my dreams i shall arrive in villalobos
i'm a hunchback sailor coming home from sea
when the sun is setting moon will shine forever
life's a dream when you are dreaming me
