Well, I found my Mushroom Jesus While you went down to Mexico Well, he stood right round the corner Did not glitter, did not glow While you were stepping round the pyramids with your backpack on He took my hand and said: “Eternity is not a matter of time, son!” O Babe, I found my Mushroom Jesus Yes, and he took me by my hand While you were shitting right the soul out of you He took me to the Promised Land When you were sick and dirty crawling back into your jungle bed He touched my heart and touched my soul and woke me from the dead… O well, I found my Mushroom Jesus Or should I say that he found me And he healed me from diseases And he healed me from TV While you were gulping down San Pedro Juice trying to get high He whispered straight into my brain: “Kid, all you know is just a lie!” When you were sick and dirty crawling back into your jungle bed He touched my heart and touched my soul and woke me from the dead...

She works harder than a hooker - only they get better paid And her boss will have her fired if she’s one more time too late She has dreamed so many times of the day when she will quit But she needs this job because it’s only her and her little kid And there’re all those men who look at her but never at her face And there’re all those times it dawns to her she’ll never leave this place There is nothing you can do to her not already been done So be careful what you ask of her… She’s a waitress - she is like a loaded gun Yes her feet do always hurt and also does her back She did not count the steps she’d made – long ago she did loose track But she wipes the tears away and she puts her smile back on Grabs her tray and grabs her name tag – ´cause the show goes on an´ on… And there’re all those women judging her but never to her face And there’re all those times it dawns to her she’ll never leave this place There is nothing you can do to her not already been done So be careful what you ask of her… She’s a waitress - she is like a loaded gun And when ever you do meet her, buddy, here is my advice: What ever name she might be wearing – she’s a goddess in disguise She’s the goddess of the dishes, the fulfiller of your wishes So you better tip her greatly and you’d better playing nice… And she is watching all the people and she looks in every face She sees every bit of cruelty and every bit of grace Once she tried to make a difference And some day she’ll get it done So you better look not down on her… There is nothing you can do to her not already been done So be careful what you ask of her… She’s a waitress – she’s like a loaded gun

Dream with me and the country Dream with me, my love Dream of the singing of the birds and the trees And the stones and the blue sky above Walk with me trough the country Walk with me to the well And share with me the water of love It will clean us from every bad spell You got rainbows in your hair and it smells like grass and pine And your eyes shining green like the sea And like the earth and the sky I belong to you And you belong to me Dream with me and the country Dream with me and the land Dream of the crickets and the snakes and the snails And maybe we will understand Lay with me in the country Lay with me on the ground Listen to the songs of the grass and the wind It’s our home that we’ve finally found You got rainbows in your hair and it smells like grass and pine And your eyes shining green like the sea And like the earth and the sky I belong to you And you belong to me This should last forever Like the very first day In God’s own garden Where we meant to stay No time to be wasted No way leads astray In God’s own garden Where we meant to stay…

On the day when I cut my hair I had no idea, man, I swear That I would wear this ol´tie Like a rope ´round my neck till the day I will die A briefcase, a suit and a pen That’s all it takes to work for the man Well, I rehearsed this speech more than one time before And now I am here knocking on your front door… A man has to live, a man has to eat And in order to do so the things he has to do They are not always sweet He has to sell out and pretend it’s a win Well, it’s nothing to die for but that’s what the lie’s for That he’s changing the system from within I am selling the good stuff to you If you need it? I don’t have a clue But I sure as hell need you to buy ´Cause I need a new suit and I need a new tie And a new car with automatic gear And holiday flights at least three times a year Well, this scratches not even the core – But that’s why I am here knocking on your front door Man, I’m still the old rebel, right deep down inside me You can trust me with this – but my girlfriend and I we have needs Freedom does not come cheaply and I don’t say it lightly Someone has to keep on and keep doing the deeds Not this much long ago – when my hair was much longer We happened to think we could live from pure love and clean air But the world is not like this, and I guess it sounds desperate And I need you, I need you, I need you to sign right down here Cause a man has to live, a man has to eat And in order to do so the things he has to do They are not always sweet He has to sell out and pretend it’s a win Well, it’s nothing to die for but that’s what the lie’s for That he’s changing the system from within

The phone does ring, it’s always you - you want me to go out But I can see right from my pillow the sky is full of clouds The clock is ticking, life is short - I think I’ll stay in bed It’s good to hide beneath the blankets when people outside going mad Tellin´you lies, killing some flies and running out of alibis For doing nothing, mhmhmhh I am a fool, floating in a pool of useless, pretty things And doing nothing, waiting what tomorrow´ll bring When I was young I have been told the world would become better All new horizons made of gold and always sunny weather There would be never ending joy and everlasting fun But, Baby, when I look around me - were have all those flowers gone? Tellin´you lies, killing some flies and running out of alibis For doing nothing, mhmhmhh I am a fool, floating in a pool of useless, pretty things And doing nothing, waiting what tomorrow´ll bring Waiting, waiting what tomorrow´ll bring Why should I swing my feet outside, why should I raise a hand The cushions are so soft and smooth - It’s like the Promised Land No sense is no where to be found in all this struggle and this strive And even if I tried this hard… I never would come out of this world alive… Tellin´you lies, killing some flies and running out of alibis For doing nothing, mhmhmhh I am a fool, floating in a pool of useless, pretty things And doing nothing, waiting what tomorrow´ll bring…

The circus tent is empty the caravans are gone The wizard’s laying drunk around his spells are all undone The magic is all broken it never will be back Times ain´t no more as they used to be in the golden ages way back And all those good times long gone by Hardly fill me up with rage ´Cause I’m an old, flea-bitten tiger In a rusty, narrow cage And all those broken dreams They don´t fill me up with rage ´Cause I’m an old, flea-bitten tiger Just sitting in my cage The dancers and the jugglers they now do decent work The lion tamer lost his whip he serves now as a clerk And even all those crazy clowns who gave their jokes for free They nowadays are salesmen for an insurance company And all those wasted lives Hardly fill me up with rage ´Cause I’m an old, flea-bitten tiger In a rusty, narrow cage And all those broken dreams They don’t fill me up with rage ´Cause I’m an old, flea-bitten tiger Just sitting in my cage Some dreams are dying slowly but nevertheless they die There is no paying audience left - there is no use to cry There’s just a dirty fairground and no one left but me An abandoned, broken roadside show with nothing else to see And all this vanished joy Hardly fills me up with rage ´Cause I’m an old, flea-bitten tiger In a rusty, narrow cage And all those broken dreams They don’t fill me up with rage ´Cause I’m an old, flea-bitten tiger In a rusty, narrow cage Maybe it is the wisdom Some say it comes with age Or I´m just an old, flea-bitten tiger Still sitting in my cage…

Waiting for a bus to hit me Waiting for a train to crush me down Waiting for a job to fit me Or should I leave the town Waiting for the world to crown me Waiting for a big cake slice Waiting for the rain to drown me Waiting for the people to be nice Life ain´t good in the city I know, this used to be fun But now the things ain´t so pretty So why not hit the road and run And keep rolling, rolling, rambling and strolling Heads up high, feet straight to the ground To unknown horizons - a new moon is rising A brand new world is waiting to be found All I have to do is really leave the town… Waiting for all people to be equal Waiting for the poor becoming rich Waiting for another movie sequel Or maybe I should pull the switch Waiting for the streets to be dog-shit-free Waiting for the traffic-lights to turn Waiting for some big ideas to hit me Or maybe I should shut the door and burn the house ´Cause life gets stale in the city I know, this used to be fun I could wait for a bus to hit me Or I could hit the road and run… Waiting for the money to show up Waiting to make some friends Waiting for the system to blow up But why not simply step outside the fence… And keep rolling, rolling, rambling and strolling Heads up high, feet straight to the ground To unknown horizons - a new moon is rising A brand new world is waiting to be found All I have to do is really leave the town

I was up all night again The stakes were flying high ,You can get always what you want´ They tell you, but it’s just a lie I spent my life with gambling, Cigarettes and booze But I learned just another Of one million ways to loose And now the game is over and the money’s all gone And I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun With all those promises broken and the rights all wrong I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun… All I ever had I put it on the table As friends of mine once told me to: Don’t hold back, when you’re young and able They all live in big houses now And eat off silver platters And I’m about the only one Who cares what really matters… They say the game is over and the money’s all gone And I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun With all those promises broken and the rights all wrong I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun They tell you all your life How it’s supposed to be To make a million dollars And get a job - like on TV I never really bought it It simply felt not right I cashed in my insurances And went looking for the light I travelled through this world Spent all my magic chips I never hit the jackpot But always gave the biggest tips The last of my belongings Took some street kids in Mumbai I’d rather gave up everything Than loosing my own way Maybe the game is over and the life is gone And I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun With all those promises broken and the rights all wrong I'm sitting here and waiting for the sun But I'm not done As long as there’s a light shining on me… There’re better days to come

Our love was full of promise and also kind of brief I´m sitting here and wondering why on earth did you have to leave I wish I´d paid attention the day of our first date You told me, you´re a traveller - I did´nt listen and now it is to late And I am waiting for you, waiting for you all the time And I got the strangest feeling in this ol´ chest of mine… I got a cardboard box in the place where once my heart was And its filled with postcards sent by you From all those places you now pretend that there your life is And I hope it is a cardboard box heart for you too I went to see my doctor and she was kind of sweet – ´I think, you are a vampire ´cause I cant hear the faintest beat´ I said: ´No, I was not bitten and daylight I not flee But I fell for this woman, the one, who dumped me recently And I am waiting for her, waiting for her all the time And I got the strangest feeling in this ol´ chest of mine… I got a cardboard box in the place where once my heart was And its filled with postcards sent by you From all those places you now pretend that there your life is And I hope it is a cardboard box heart for you too Oh once I was so happy and sunny as the day Untill you came a-runnin and took my heart away And now I´m always wondering, still wondering where you are In London, in Acapulco, in Seattle or in Zanzibar… And I´m looking for you, looking for you all the time And still got the strangest feeling in this ol´ chest of mine… I got a cardboard box in the place where once my heart was And its filled with postcards sent by you From all those places you now pretend that there your life is And I hope it is a cardboard box heart for you too

I am a cowboy riding all day long Through prairies and canyons where I belong But when I’m coming home to my cabin I’m sitting on my bed and weep I am a big guy and I carry a gun I cast a big shadow - blocking out the sun But when I’m home alone in my cabin I’m sitting on my bed and weep What all I ever do - the girls, they don’t really like me They only see this dangerous and really big guy This motherfuckin badass who shoots squirrels in his backyard But all I want is kisses and some home made apple pie… I am so badass and I’m six feet tall I am the most frightening of them all But when I’m home alone in my cabin I’m sitting on my bed and weep I go to dances and I go to fairs I want romances and I want heirs But I always come alone to my cabin And sit down on my bed and weep What all I ever do - the girls, they don’t really like me They only see this dangerous and really big guy This motherfuckin badass who shoots squirrels in his backyard But all I want is kisses and some home made apple pie… You think I’m happy but I am not My life is crappy and I’m smoking pot Huhuhuh Huhuhuh Sometimes I pay for sex on the phone ´Cause I am feeling this goddamn alone I am nothing but an old getting cowboy Huhuhuh I am nothing but an old getting cowboy Huhuhuh (He is nothing but an old getting cowboy) Huhuhuh And I’m sitting on my bed and weep…

You´re rollin down this highway The one, they say, it´s lost Somewhere you took the wrong turn And you´re still payin´ the costs There´s no angel comin down to guide you on your way There´s no angel comin down… You´re rollin down this highway To something far ahead You´re tired and you´re lonesome And sometimes you go mad There´s no angel comin down no matter how you pray There´s no angel comin down but that´s okay… Cause everything´s gonna be alright And suddenly there´s a brandnew sight And you get it now that big fishes swim slowly But reach their goal right on time You´re rollin down this highway Leads straight to hell, they say But where you´re really end up Let´s wait for judgement day There´s no angel comin down to rig the scales for you There´s no angel comin down - it´s up to you… But everything´s gonna be alright And suddenly there´s a brandnew sight And you get it now that big fishes swim slowly… But reach their goal right on time It´s been no easy walk for you But finally all things come true Cause you get it now that big fishes swim slowly… And reach their goal right on time
