The Poodles

we'll be gone by the break of day
You and I, will survive when the sky is falling

Call me a dreaming fool but I know I'm not alone
I've got to live while I'm alive
Misery loves company
I see the beauty, not a bitter reality
I've got to live white I'm alive
Their misery loves company

The cravings that I had are gone
They fade into a silhouette
All changes start within myself
That's something that I can't neglect

So hang on, we'll be gone by the break of day
You and I, will survive when the sky is falling

Call me a dreaming fool but I know I'm not alone
I've got to live while I'm alive
Misery loves company
I see the beauty, not a bitter reality
I've got to live while I'm alive
Their misery loves company


2. Shut Up!

Well when I see light you are black as night
When I'm happy; you want me sad
If I see great possibilities
Well, you tell me that it's really bad

It's been a long, long time I should know better
You want to speak your mind? Write me a letter!
Oh, let's make it clear

You see the colors of the rainbow in black & white
You're in the sunlight; still in shadow – never satisfied
So sorry if I may seem rude and a little impolite
But there is one thing that I highly would appreciate
If you could only
Shut up!

So hold your tongue and stop right here
I didn't ask for your advice
It's nothing new and your witless mind is spreading a pack of lies

It's been a long, long time I should know better
You want to speak your mind? Write me a letter!
Oh, let's make it clear

You see the colors of the rainbow in black & white
You're in the sunlight; still in shadow – never satisfied
So sorry if I may seem rude and a little impolite
But there is one thing that I highly would appreciate
If you could only
Shut up!

Don't say a word
I'm leaving
Let's make it clear


3. Happily Ever After

Everything was bright, life was wonderful
With you by my side, there was freedom
Everything ahead, nothing to regret
Chosen for the crown in your kingdom
Irony of faith how I lost my way
The half of me was just taken away

Luck was turning
All I ask is a reason to go on

We should have lived happily ever after
You promised you never let me go
And then we were heading for disaster
To where you have gone I cannot follow
Where daylight never dies

In the dead of night, in the morning light
No matter where I am; what I'm doing
Every breath I take, every move
I make Images of the past always present

Memories calling
All I wish for is one last kiss goodbye

We should have lived happily ever after
You promised you never let me go
Then we were heading for disaster
To where you have gone I cannot follow
Where daylight never dies


4. Viva Democracy

I don't believe in the money you say that you make
I don't believe in the happiness you say it brings
I'll never sympathize with the promises you break
And how the people supporting you don't mean a thing

Oh, the message you send is clear
Tell me what it takes to open up your eyes

No one is strong on their own
Look around you and you'll see
No one survives all alone
Cause we're all dependent
Know your history...Viva democracy!

I can never agree with the values you push
All the statements that you constantly fake
The things you jeopardize and decisions you rush
Like all of the stupid and false assumptions you make

Oh, the message you send is clear
Tell me what it takes to open up your eyes

No one is strong on their own
Look around you and you'll see
No one survives all alone
Cause we're all dependent
Know your history...Viva democracy!

We didn't come this far, so fast
Without a sacrifice
Now let's earn our liberty!


5. Going Down

These are the days
Children of innocence
No one remembers when
Things were so different

This is our time
Riches are all around
Water turning into wine
Faith and hope can still be found

I can see it

Coming down the mountain side
Rolling down like thunder
You may think I've lost my mind
It's a feeling that I'm under
Waiting for the ricochet
Filled with fear and wonder
You may say I've lost my mind
It's a feeling that I'm under

I'm going down

There is a chance
We will return some day
Rise from what still remains
Letting go of all that changed

There was a time
Arrogance our only friend
Hurry now it's getting late
One more lie to seal our fate

I can see it

Coming down the mountain side
Rolling down like thunder
You may think I've lost my mind
It's a feeling that I'm under
Waiting for the ricochet
Filled with fear and wonder
You may say I've lost my mind
It's a feeling that I'm under

Oh, you're dreaming
Of winning games that can't be won
But still gleaming in the distance
Shining like the sun


6. Leaving The Past To Pass

I hope you know, I'll always love you
But we can't go on
The dream we had somehow slipped away

Every night, I'm a ghost 'til the morning comes
In my eyes, you outshine the sun

I am walking away tonight
Knowing that you won't be by my side
Healed or broken I can't decide
We couldn't last I can see to the other side
There is another new kind of life
For better or worse now I cannot tell
I stayed for the last time
I'm leaving the past to pass

You deserve so much better and baby, so do I
Let's be honest, we need to say goodbye

I am walking away tonight
Knowing that you won't be by my side
Healed or broken I can't decide
We couldn't last I can see to the other side
There is another new kind of life
For better or worse now I cannot tell
I stayed for the last time
I'm leaving the past to pass


7. 40 Days And 40 Nights

It's been a long while since I heard you laughing
And quite some time since I could see you smile
I can't remember when I heard you asking
If I would like to spend some time or make some love

Borderline,
I don't want to have to watch you
Draw the line
What are you waiting for?

40 days and 40 nights I've prayed
For a sign that might appear
That could take us out of here
When we're close somehow you're far away
And I can't take it any more
I will walk away, and close the door

To find a way back is no longer possible
And things you're aching for is dead and gone
I think you know it's not much that I'm asking
So look at me and listen: it's over now

Borderline
I don't want to have to watch you
Draw the line
What are you waiting for?

40 days and 40 nights I've prayed
For a sign that might appear
That could take us out of here
When we're close somehow you're far away
And I can't take it any more
I will walk away, and close the door

The letters you are sending and photographs
I will burn them all
This is a last goodbye


8. Kings & Fools

Well if you can't do the time, don't even try to do the crime
Don't do it! If you turn your back you're gonna be under attack

Don't try to roll the dice if you can't pay the price
Don't do it!
When you place your feet on this lonely dead end street

Something is shading the light in your life
The reason might be deep within, not outside
You choose to obey or deny all the rules
That come down like rain in a world full of
Kings and Fools

You're going out of your mind and feel you're loosing track of time
Don't do it!
When your sugar top-buttercup slams the door right into your face

Nitty gritty looking pretty, but you-wonder why she never got her eyes on you
Don't do it!
When you take the time to see the bottom line it brings you to your knees

Something is shading the light in your life
The reason might be deep within, not outside
You choose to obey or deny all the rules
That come down like rain in a world full of
Kings and Fools

Oh it used to feel so easy, back in the days when you where young
Now days are filled with complication you thought would never come
And you need a new direction to take


9. Miracle

To reach for your innermost dream is not to live in a lie
The fools all around think they know and try to make us deny
It's better to burn than to fade, we got to start the fire
Dance on the ashes of pain we'll never feel more alive

No more time to waste here
Nothing's too good to be true
Now it's time to face it
We got to live and let die

I know you hope for a miracle,
But we got to fight to survive
Sometimes life's not comparable
To the image we're keeping inside
Can't put my trust in a savior
To come along in my life
Salvation comes from inside, like a miracle

When the puzzles of life take their toll the target's so far away
Flat on your face, bite the dust; the dividend of the day
The visions you had in your heart don't let them die in their sleep
There's no reprieve to a dream, get up, get back on your feet

No more time to waste here
Nothing's too good to be true
Now it's time let's face it
We got to live and let die

I know you hope for a miracle,
But we got to fight to survive
Sometimes life's not comparable
To the image we're keeping inside
Can't put my trust in a savior
To come along in my life
Salvation comes from inside, like a miracle


10. Godspeed

In the ambience rising
Where I go no man can follow
Left behind all safety
My belongings, my wife and family

Floating free into higher spaces
Like a genie I go

Godspeed carry me home again
Leaping from the sky
Wish me Godspeed unburden the fear and pain
And my mission to fulfill in this moment of truth
I pray for Godspeed

On the edge of the horizon
I defy all the laws of gravity
It's not all a competition
Serenity fills the space between us

Capsule of life were there's no existence
On the threshold to space

Godspeed carry me home again
Leaping from the sky
Wish me Godspeed unburden the fear and pain
And my mission to fulfill in this moment of truth
I pray for Godspeed


11. Now Is The Time

This is a message to all my friends
This is a letter that wasn't sent
A call of arms to fight
Into the dark of night

This is a chance to start again
This is a chance to make amends
To heed the lonely cry
To give it one last try

Oh, I need you by my side
Oh, Tonight we ride

We're lost in time, out of mind
Waiting for a light to shine
There's a chance for us tonight
Let them know; We live for the fight!
Now is the time

This is the time to let you know
This is the only way to go
The key for one more turn
The answer you must learn

This is the time and place my friend
There's no reason to pretend
The moment to speak the truth
This is the time to choose


12. Only Just Begun

Let your broken heart be the beginning of a song
Use the pain and then forget it
Honour the loss with all your will and carry on
Learn from the past but don't regret it

Look around!
So many ways you can be free
Stand your ground!
Human connection is the key

Just believe and make a difference here and now
'Cause the only thing you can rely upon
Is what returns in life depends on what you're sending
A change is yet to come – It's only just begun

Don't worry too much about the shadows of the past
And prophecies without a meaning

Let your mind be your kingdom
And be free
Stand your ground!
Human connection is the key

Just believe and make a difference here and now
'Cause the only thing you can rely upon
Is what returns in life depends on what you're sending
A change is yet to come – It's only just begun
