LYRICS SIMONE SAYS ALBUM
1. Rock this Town
Higher, you lift me higher
my feet hardly touching the floor
closer, you´re coming closer
the silence before the storm
A chemical reaction in a desert land
you´re taking me places a way
I don´t understand
in subatomical dimentions
you´re splitting my core
make me a nuclear force
Gonna rock this town
you got a way, you got a way, you got a way, you got a way
to lift me from the ground
moving in speed of the sound
break this wall
the missing piece I never knew that
I was looking for
making me reach for the sky
we're heading straight up to the sky
before we die
Denser, it´s getting denser
I´m trying to reach through the wall
Steeper, it´s getting steeper
I know I can handle to fall
We're rising up
to spheres unknown
two supercritical masses on our own
when we meet, two completes
we're making a fusion, a bioorganical bomb
Gonna rock this town
you got a way, you got a way, you got a way, you got a way
to lift me from the ground
moving in speed of the sound
break this wall
the missing piece I never knew that
I was looking for
making me reach for the sky
Main reaction
Chain affection
Core attraction
and we will
Rock this town
you´ve got a way, you got a way, you got a way, you got a way
to lift me from the ground
moving in speed of the sound
break this wall
the missing piece I never knew that
I was looking for
making me reach for the sky
we're heading straight up to the sky
you're making me reach for the sky
before we die
2. Second Call
On and on you're waiting for
the second call to come
you're living for each temporary deadline
to come and pull you along
doesn´t make it a crime
doesn´t make it alright
doesn´t make it a crime
doesn´t make it alright
On and on you wait in line
there´s red lights all the way
getting caught up in each traffic jam
instead of open the door and just slip away
doesn´t make it a crime
no it doesn't make it alright
it´s what you forgot cause you pulled out the plug
let yourself get stuck
It´s here and now
you´re breathing
move on, keep
believing
On and on you're waiting for
the second call to come
like someone extraordinary to
sweep you away, saying
you are the one
doesn´t make it a crime
doesn´t make it alright
doesn´t make it a crime
doesn´t make it alright
On and on and day by day
you go by the routine
you tell me you feel trapped
but you can undo your chains
underneath you're free
doesn´t make it a crime
no it doesn't make it alright
what you forgot cause you pulled out the plug
let yourself get stuck, it´s a drug and it´s
time to stop
Days without the moonlight
and nights without the sun
children playing hide and seek
where the trees have been cut to the ground
lazy rivers running down the waters of your dreams
it´s not what it seems
it´s not what it seems
On and on and on and on
you´re waiting for something
waiting for someone
on and on and on and on
you´re waiting for something else
It´s here and now
you´re breathing
move on, keep
believing
3. I´m running
I´m running and I´m running to get back in time
I'm running ´cause we're out of water, out of wine
I'm running and there are so many things to do
I run to get closer to you
I'm running for the busses just passing by
I'm running for the kids I left out of sight
I'm running for your hunger I run for your thirst
I run to see who´s coming first
I'm running now I always ran before
I might just keep on running, running
a little bit more
I´m running through the days and I run through the nights
I´m running through our kisses I run through our fights
I'm running and I'm running for not loosing control
I´m running to have it all
And when I stop
there is wind
painfully touching my skin
and when I stop
there´s nothing
to take me away
I'm running now, I always ran before
I might just keep on running, running
a little bit more
I'm running and I´m running
running out of time
I'm running and I´m running
and I get behind
I'm running and I'm running to get back in time
I'm running cause we're out of water, out of wine
I'm running and there are so many things to do
I run to get closer to you
4. Quest
I could travel to Paris or Rome
see the stars from a different angle than home
I could watch New York skyline by night
walk the streets of LA and stay
if it felt right
would that be a thrill?
I could work for ten hours a day
get a raise, buy a house, change my face, make my way
I could go to a club in the night
were new dresses and shoes
and join the fight
Would I find any answers there?
When all that I care for is right here?
I could go to a tropical isle
feel the sun in my face be alone for a while
I could try make a raft on my own
write a book, learn to cook
manage, and feel strong
would that be a thrill?
I could kneel at the temple floor
chant for hours with others behind a closed door
I could ask for a glimpse from above
I could ask them to preach, to teach me
all about love
Would I find any answers there?
When all that I care for is right here?
When your
head on my chest is my
only request and you
humming your first tune
is my morning breeze in June and your
eyes holding mine keeps the
biggest truth I've found
I don't care for the rest
I don't need any quest
right now, and here
the answers can wait
right now, and here
I´ve got the best
5. Evolution
You live for your mission
you live for your faith
you read all the books
and you learned all the rights
but people they are if a different mind
and you don't understand what goes on in the crowd
Once you where also a curious child
you were chasing the rainbow
your hopes were held high
I wish you'd remember the times you were best
when your happiness lied in a dead seaman´s chest
It´s not black or white
It´s not wrong or right
but you hold on, you hold on, you hold on, you hold on
you hold on far too tight
Let go of this burden
it makes you go wild
there are oceans to cross
there are mountains to climb
you're more than your power
you're scared but let go
you can´t stop the river
the water will flow
It´s not black or white
It´s not wrong or right
but you hold on, you hold on, you hold on, you hold on
you hold on far too tight
They're just asking for evolution my friend
they're just asking for evolution
They're asking for evolution my friend
they're just asking for evolution
Not black or white
not wrong or right
but you hold on, you hold on, you hold on, you hold on
you hold on far too tight
6. Don't be a Stranger
You're gonna have some champagne in the morning sun
You're gonna stay in bed the day and not get anything done
You're gonna keep working over, forget to call home
But don’t be a stranger when you're done
You're gonna have a cup of coffee though it´s getting too late
You're gonna eat all the cherries, leave the cake at the plate
You're gonna misunderstand, your gonna think that your right
but don’t be a stranger tonight
There´s a time for the foolish, a time for the proud
A time to for the angry, a time for the loud
A time for the pink and a time for the blue
But don’t be a stranger
I´m here, next to you
There is a time for champagne in the morning sun
There is a time to clean the floor and leave the bed undone
There is a time for treading water and a time to run
But don’t be a stranger, look around
You're gonna keep telling stories that noone will hear
keep freaking out it I´m not changing the gear
You're gonna still being stubborn and still being you
But don’t be a stranger, cause it´s true
There´s a time for the foolish, a time for the proud
A time to for the angry, a time for the loud
A time for the pink and a time for the blue
But don’t be a stranger
I´m here, next to you
A time for the foolish, a time for the proud
A time to for the angry, a time for the loud
A time for the pink and a time for the blue
But don’t be a stranger
I´m here, next to you
7. Label
I'm kind of stuck with you
and we can't hit it off
there´s noone to turn to
there´s nowhere to go
I try to ignore you
but it is kind of hard
cause you keep talking all the time
and try to push me down
You put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
but you haven't seen anything yet
I'm kind of stuck with you
and we can't hit it off
in the middle of the show of your
big ego
I know you´re no man
who can see who I am
you seem cool, you are smart
but you are missing one thing
You put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
but you haven´t seen nothing yet
You´re jumping to conclusions
I am not an open book
you think you know somebody just by taking
one first look
I don't care who you are
I have come this far
I don't care what you say
I move on, it´s your loss anyway
(it´s your loss, it´s your loss,it´s your loss, it´s your loss anyway)
You put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
but you haven't seen nothing yet
(it´s your loss, it´s your loss,it´s your loss, it´s your loss anyway)
You put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
you put a label on my head
but you haven't seen anything yet
8. Waiting for the Rain
I should be cleaning out the closets
there´s snow everywhere
I should get rid of the old
vacuum the atmosphere
shouldn't be hanging round wasting time
Are these ruins of life that
used to be yours and mine?
Out with the old
this cold Sunday morning won´t
take no sin away
now there´s nothing to say
on a lone Sunday morning
with too many bills
left to pay, perhaps I'm just
Waiting for the rain
to wash this January pain away
take me back to spring again
Out with the old
this cold Sunday morning
all covered with snow, don´t know
what to keep what to throw
All I can see
is the lights of December
that kept us from cold
got stuck in this winter where silence is gold
and who could know that late last night
a hurricane scuttered everything round
thousand lies like pieces on the ground
and right now there is nothing to do
there is snow in my closets there´s snow on you
is this love a perennial plant is there
anything living underground, just
waiting for the rain
waiting for the rain
to take us back to spring again
Who knows what lives under ground
who know if what's lost can be found
what will survive for a second round
I don't know there is snow everywhere
vacuum my soul and the atmosphere, just
hanging round, wasting time
hanging round, just
hanging round, wasting time
hangin round, hangin round, just
waiting for the rain
waiting for the rain
to take us back to spring
again
9. Transiton
It´s gonna be a long way
it´s gonna be a long way
to Transiton
gonna hit the trail, away from the rain
the wind blows South and says: Hello
And all the time
like old train wheels
there´s a drum that beats
do do run run, do do run run
its gonna be a long way but
we are heading south towards the sun
People are running, the trains are coming
we're leaving town today, drift away
never gonna know where the wind is gonna blow
out of track
but we'll be back
It´s gonna be a long way
but we will get there and
its gonna be a long way
but we don’t care
the boots are on
24 hours in Transiton
Its been a long time
its been a long time
but I've seen these streets before
in Transitland
the trains stands still
waiting for our everlasting thrill
The years pass by in the morning sky
and the drum that hits our gipsy hearts
to do run run
is fading soon
like the tide and the moon
go back to
route number one
People are running
the trains are coming
we're leaving town today
people are longing
the drums are calling
never gonna know where the wind is gonna blow
return to start
collect your heart
Its gonna be a long way
but we will get there and
it´s gonna be a long way
but we don’t care
the boots are on
24 hours in Transiton
10. Man in the Moon
Where is the man?
Where is the man in the moon?
He´s gonna bring us the rainbow
he´s gonna put out the cherry trees in bloom
Nanana....
We're looking for the Man
we're looking for the Man in the Moon
he´s gonna bring us the rainbow
he´s gonna light up the stars after noon
we're looking for the Man
the Man who never turns out the light
and keeping our dreams in sight
the Man who can help us through the night
Nanana...
Man in the Moon, Man in the Moon
tell me a story or tell me the truth
We're looking for the Man
keep looking for the Man in the Moon
haven't heard of him lately
but they say he'll be coming really soon
Man in the Moon, Man in the Moon
tell me a story or tell me the truth
Man in the Moon, Man in the Moon
make me believe that I´m just like you
Don´t wanna see this mess anymore
don´t wanna keep my ships by the shore
I´ll light up a fire in five different continents
if you come, I´ll admit if I'm wrong
cannot leave this old ship though the captain is gone
have to go on
Man in the Moon
find me the Man in the Moon
bring back the rainbow
put out the cherry trees in bloom
Man in the Moon
tell me I'm just like you
make us believe
that we are made of stardust too
Man in the Moon, Man in the Moon
tell me a story or tell me the truth
Man in the Moon, Man in the Moon
make me believe that I´m just like you
11. Sailing away
Ei- ei-ei...
Sailing away on a wide open sea
we are alone with the stars in the sky
I don't know where we are
over the mountains into the woods
your silhouette is a cloud in my mind
everything will return
Days followed by nights
writing the book of sand
days followed by nights
endlessly
Ei- ei- ei- ei
Sailing away on a wide open sea
wait for the night when it all will begin
I don't know who we are
moments in time disappear and return
I have been told we are just what we see
I will tell something else
Days followed by nights
writing the book of sand
days followed by nights
endless
Midnight
looking at fireworks in the sky
Waiting
for the impossible
I don't know where we are
Midnight
looking at fireworks in the sky
I don't know who we are
Ei-ei-ei-ei
Days followed by nights
writing the book of sand
days followed by nights
endlessly
