dancing through the light

in the morn
I'm awaking as the sun comes out
(to) greet the day

and from dawn
till night I'll sing aloud
(and) kiss
each sun ray

and I'm dancing through the light
'cause I love my la la la la life
and I will
truly make the night
shine just as bright

I am dancing through the light
I am dancing through the night
I am dancing through my life
that does shine
just as bright

in the eve
I'm going to light the party lights
(to) greet the night

stay or leave
or fly to unknown heights
(be) my
knight in white

I am dancing through the light
'cause I love my la la la la life
and I will
truly make the night
shine just as bright

I am dancing through the light
I am dancing through the night
I am dancing through my life
that does shine
just as bright

oh, my life - all my life
I'll enjoy
no use to be
shy or coy
there's no use
to fret or worry
don't
be obtuse

let's be dancing through the light
let's enjoy our la la la la lives
let us
make the darkest night
shine just as bright

let's be dancing through the light
let's be dancing through the night
let's be dancing through our lives
make them shine
just as bright

I am dancing through the light
'cause I love my la la la la life
and I will
truly make the night
shine just as bright

I am dancing through the light
I am dancing through the night
I am dancing through my life
that does shine
just as bright

let's party and get on bad

when the work is done
or when school is out
it's time for some fun
and we sing and shout
no more drudgery
and no foreign rule
no indignity
no more playin' the fool

but we have to hurry up because the night gets close
we clean up, make up, getting ready for the show
got to get started, folks, because there is no time to lose
in no time we're ready and we are all geared up to go

let us party on the beach
let us party in the streets
let us party every night
let us set the nights alight
let us feel the throbbing beat
let us feel the body heat
let's be hot or raving mad
let's be free and get on bad

take the bus or train
come by foot or car
or even come by plane
if it is too far
you can walk or ride
take the motorbike
make small steps or strides
just come as you like

but you have to hurry up because the night gets close
just clean up, make up, getting ready for the show
now do get started, folks, because there is no time to lose
in no time you're ready and you are all geared up to go

let us party on the beach
let us party in the streets
let us party every night
let us set the nights alight
let us feel the throbbing beat
let us feel the body heat
let's be hot or raving mad
let's be free and get on bad

we will dance
and we'll
be dancing slow and close
or revel like crazy
we'll have fun and dance the night away
anyway
we will dance
and we
can be boisterous and wild
what ever the night will bring we
are going to enjoy our time

let us party on the beach
let us party in the streets
let us party every night
let us set the nights alight
let us feel the throbbing beat
let us feel the body heat
let's be hot or raving mad
let's be free and get on bad

 

diggin' deep

cannot stand these grinning faces
some types you've been hangin' out with!
you've kept kickin' o'r the traces
how come you thought I'd ignore it

I'm diggin' deep
you bet
I'm diggin' deep
and the truth will out

what's the name of slimy smiley?
gonna give him a piece of my mind
no use treating riff-raff kindly
he'll learn that I've never been blind

I'm diggin' deep
you bet
I'm diggin' deep
and the truth will out

don't you think that you're forgiven
when you do me and we screw
don't you think that I'll forget
just because I'm doing you

I'm diggin' deep
you bet
I'm diggin' deep
and the truth will out

will a look behind the curtain
reveal a party slut in heat?
I have never been that certain
that I will find out your deceit

I'm diggin' deep
you bet
I'm diggin' deep
and the truth will out

light and dark

your looks, your strength, your charm, and your wit
bewitch all the women in town
but I've had a glimpse into the pit
the dark sides of a man of renown

light and dark are
just the two sides of the same
light and dark
(it's) the nature and kind of the game

I still love you though I know your faults
and I try to get on and forget
(my) emotions can't be brought to a halt
I'm trying to not be upset

light and dark are
just the two sides of the same
light and dark
(it's) the nature and kind of the game

I have been there before and
I've promised to myself that
I'd never fall for that kind
of men ever again, yet
I love your looks, your strength, and your charm, and your wit
I think I have to live with the pit-falls

light and dark are
just the two sides of the same
light and dark
(it's) the nature and kind of the game

I have been there before and
I've promised to myself that
I'd never fall for that kind
of men ever again, yet
I love you in spite of the affairs that you've had
I willing to weigh good against bad 'cause

light and dark are
just the two sides of the same
light and dark
(it's) the nature and kind of the game

light and dark are
just the two sides of the same
light and dark
(it's) the nature and kind of the game

dark and light

black and white

light and dark are
just the two sides of the same
light and dark
(it's) the nature and kind of the game

 

burst mode

strolling aimlessly
feeling some kind of vague agony
crying shamelessly
to the sounds of an urban symphony
tryin' to make some sense
desperate hope to find some sympathy
somehow you're too tense
to evoke a hint of empathy

now you're running in burst mode
driven by compulsive forces
you're running in burst mode
with the power of bolting horses
running in burst mode

you are quite confused
your imagination running wild
and you feel abused
as if you were a maltreated child
you can find no clues
how to rid your brain of the crap it's piled
you have no excuse
and no reason why you should feel riled

but you're running in burst mode
driven by compulsive forces
you're running in burst mode
with the power of bolting horses
running in burst mode

disasters may happen
in the course of tonight
though you can't think of
a reason to fight
disasters may happen

'cause you're running in burst mode
driven by compulsive forces
you're running in burst mode
with the power of bolting horses
running in burst mode

look forward

what's the use looking back on your misery
or mistaking bad luck for your destiny
why should you be sulking or cry bitterly
cultivating a state of moody revery

look forward
stop looking back
look forward
get back on track
look forward

yeah, I know you are hit hard
yeah, I know it's tough to bear
but then, it's not the end
and no reason to despair

what's the use looking back on your misery
or mistaking bad luck for your destiny
why should you be sulking or cry bitterly
cultivating a state of moody revery

look forward
stop looking back
look forward
get back on track
look forward

yeah, I know that you feel wounded
and it takes some time to cope
but I think should snap out of it
'cause the future's full of hope

what's the use looking back on your misery
or mistaking bad luck for your destiny
why should you be sulking or cry bitterly
cultivating a state of moody revery

look forward
stop looking back
look forward
get back on track
look forward

look forward ...

 

the love you've found

why
should they care
and claim that he is the wrong one for you

how
dare they judge
about what he has done or what he would do

it
is for sure
none of their business, none of their concern

you
know for yourself
what's good and what's bad, and you will be stern

yeah, you'll keep your head up high and stand your ground
you'll always stay true to the love you've found
keep your head up high
stand your ground
staying true
to the love you've found
the love you've found

you've
known before
that his reputation was doubtful at least

but then you
learned that he
can be tender and true once his love is released

yeah, you'll keep your head up high and stand your ground
you'll always stay true to the love you've found
keep your head up high
stand your ground
staying true
to the love you've found
the love you've found

addicted

staring at an empty screen
no way to could get throught to you
my mail inaccessible
I do not know what I could do

your phone number is no use
cause I use VoIP
just one wire for everything
keeps me in dependency

I'm addicted
to a network protocol
I'm addicted
today I must pay my toll

I was trying to make up
I was trying to explain
no chance to communicate
sure is driving me insane

I'm addicted
to a network protocol
I'm addicted
today I must pay my toll

Baby, how can I reach you today
Baby, to convey what I've to say
Baby, how can I pick up the strand
and make sure you understand
how much I'm addicted to you

I'm addicted
to a network protocol
I'm addicted
today I must pay my toll

 

drifting

the idea came unexpectedly by thunderbird
it grew out of proportion causing some alert
I buried my head in the sand to say a prayer
and found my life had shifted to a different layer

I am drifting through time and space
and I can see it in your eye
that though I just try to avoid disgrace
you think I live a lie
but I am only drifting

she was a young cute lady and she pushed me hard
I tried looking cool but she gave me a start
we drank a cup, and suddenly she flew away
I had no claim on her so what should I say

I am drifting through time and space
and I can see it in your eye
that though I just try to avoid disgrace
you think I live a lie
but I am only drifting

the man said he'd look after my spirituality
I asked how 'bout reaching a state of sanity
he said I need not bother 'cause there was no time
I didn't understand, he was way too sublime

and I'm drifting through time and space
and I can see it in your eye
that though I just try to avoid disgrace
you think I live a lie
but I am only drifting

virtuality

I'm a tough guy, I'm a hero
in front of my screen
I reduce all fiends to zero
while I remain unseen

earphones, joystick, and my keyboard
are all I need to kill
avenger, killer, or just fighter
I surely get my thrill

I'm a he-man
in the virtual scene
confident only
in the virtuality

I feel worn out in the mornings
after nights on the net
when the coming days are dawning
like some unknown threat

have to earn my humble living
in a state of void
life can be so unforgiving
and I feel annoyed

I'm a he-man
in the virtual scene
confident only
in the virtuality

No, I don't miss a thing
No, I don't miss a touch
real, living persons
can become too much
No, I don't miss bein' loved
No, I don't miss bein' hurt
hints of reality
put me on the alert

I'm a he-man
in the virtual scene
confident only
in the virtuality
