------------------------
A couple of myths
Fly around in the sky
And if one tries and turns on
An orange light

The moonlight
Creates blue shadows
Open the heavy door
To the third dimension

Let's meet some miracles
Somewhere in the darkness
Among the shining constellations
Let's confirm
Some prophecies
Beyond time
The signs of the stars
Keep climbing up in the sky

Words fly away
With the wind
And the storm
Even if your voice
Grows distant

The moonlight
Floods
The entire city
Nonstop
The earth has stopped spinning

Let's
Meet
The stars go round
This night of aquarius
Let's have a walk
Across the myths
Beyond time
They keep climbing up the sky
The signs of the stars

The moonlight
On a crossroads with the space-time
Continuum
The lost myths of lost times
Will ressurrect now

We have to hurry
Let's take a shortcut
On the gap
Between two stars
The world feels smaller
Than i thought

The signs of the stars
Will be here tomorrow
They depict on the sky
The myth of love

-----------------------------------
In the snow,
Like a sleigh ride
The train holding us two
Is running away
February 67
Strawberry fields
A completely white winter view
Sleep forever

Like lovers in
A cold country
Putting on
A coonskin cap
Fingers gone numb
And like quinn the eskimo
With a sniffy red nose
Saying "i love you"

Dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
The bullet train
To the weekend's vacation
Right now, (strawberry sleighride)
We love each other,
Just like when we were 7

In the snow,
Both of us together
Vow to love each other
All at once saying
Even if the end of the 20th
Century comes tomorrow
Nobody but you!
Things like that

Dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
Moving quickly to
The gloomy kingdom
Right now, (strawberry sleighride)
We're in a bad mood,
Just like when we were 7

In blue sunglasses,
Like a dead actress,
Don't be a snob:
Tell me you love me
Fingers feeling numb
And like quinn the eskimo
Tell me your old stories,
Till i fall asleep

Dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
The bullet train,
To the weekend vacation
Right now, (strawberry sleighride)
We kiss
Just like when we were 7

It is raining
A cold rain but
Inside my heart
It feels sunny
(hallelujah)(*)

Discreet clothes
Don't become me

People in the streets
Look back when i pass

The seven o'clock news
Said that
The rain will stop
In the evening
Tonight
Will you be late
Again?

It is raining
A cold rain but
Inside my heart
It feels sunny
(hallelujah)

Leading a discreet life
Does not become me
There's always someone
Calling me
On the phone

The seven o'clock news
Said that
The rain will stop
In the evening
I won't be going
Home
Tonight

A discreet personality
Does not
Become me
I don't read
Difficult
Books

The seven o'clock news
Said that
The rain
Will stop
In the evening

The dog is waiting
At home

Eien no kurayami no naka wo
Hoki-boshi kakenukete yuku no
Andromeda fui ni hikatte
Kiseki ga umareru zencho

----------------------------------
In the perpetual darkness,
A comet passing through
Andromeda suddenly shines
A miracle is born, a sign

In total darkness on the other side
From a rolling video tape
A king i sometimes dream of
Softly whispers words of love

Yes, it's 2001 today
Cleopatra is dozing off so wake her up
Yes, it's 2001 today
The star of fickle love
Is born alone
Hello

Ah, and today the orbits
Continue to turn
Venus is a little bored
Of these weightless satellites

On the other side of perpetual darkness
On a silver video tape
The loving words of a playboy
I once met
Are being looped

And it's 2001 today
Cleopatra is sleepy so wake her up
And it's 2001 years today
The gossip of fickle love
Is born alone
Goodbye

I'm going to forget everything and
Sleep quietly
Dream as i sleep
On my new lover's chest

Even if i try to date on the weekend
There's always a camera around

Oh please sweetheart
Spare me the autograph session
And please honey
Don't ask me silly questions

Becoming famous
Is quite a dream but
Please honey
Let me sleep today
As if i was
Dead

I'm on the radio
People are gossiping
About me on telly
Too

The whole town knows
About me
Oh please daahling
Don't call me i'm sleeping

By the way
I've been forgetting things
Of late
Can't even recall
My name now what was it

Spare me the silly
Questions
Let me sleep
Don't call me
I'm sleeping
Let me sleep
I want to sleep
But they won't let me
I'm so sleepy
I can't sleep

If i can get
A long vacation
Let me leave right away
With just a trunk
Anyhow, i'd drive fast
To the south
To a place where nobody
Knows me

Throwing out all the
Old records and clothes
Let me leave right away,
Just by myself
Driving fast to a
Beachside town
Playing rock n' roll
On the old radio

I'm gonna live somewhere
You don't know

I'm gonna leave right away,
With just one trunk
Driving fast for
Two days and two nights
Having just a sandwich
For lunch

I'm gonna live somewhere
You don't know

If i can really
Get a long vacation
Let me leave right away,
All by myself
Anyway, driving fast
Somewhere
Just like rock n' roll
On the old radio

I'm gonna live with
Someone you don't know

------------------------
It's strange but
You and i
Have been friends
Since forever
Isn't it

Don't you think
It feels like
We've loved each other
For two thousand
Light years?

And before
We realise
We'll
Be old

(it's alright if)
We can go on
Having so much fun
Forever

Magic carpet ride

It's like magic
When i wake up
There you are
It smells
Like flowers

Let's cross
Two thousand light years
Once again
On a persian carpet

And before
We realise
We'll
Be old

(it's alright if)
We can go on
Having so much fun
Forever

Magic carpet ride

And someday
We will also
Have
Kids

But (it's alright) if
We can go on
Having fun forever

(it's alright) if
We can hug and die
On the same bed

Magic carpet ride
