Let's pretend the opposite is happening
Let's pretend love
Let's pretend the opposite is happening
Let's pretend it now
Let's pretend the opposite is happening
Let's pretend peace
Let's pretend the opposite is happening
Let's pretend it, please
Let's pretend that we can love each other
Want rather less than more
Let's pretend we are sisters and brothers
And we are not alone
Let's pretend the opposite is happening
Let's pretend and see
If we'd try to do this pretending
Would it change a thing

First Mover

Look at the sky: all the stars, planets, galaxies and airplanes still move on, yeah
Distant suns flash to us like the beam of a strobe-light at the disco
If there's a movement
There must be a First Mover
Look at the sky: all the stars, planets, galaxies and airplanes are the same size, yeah
All is a dance, our Earth spins around the Milky Way like the helix of DNA
If there's a movement
There must be a First Mover
Look at the sky: all the stars, planets, galaxies and airplanes – go bang bang
There was a First before it burst and he showed us all the moves of our cosmic dance
If there's a movement
There must be a First Mover

Borders
03:54
|

Waiting on a border
Longer and longer
We're getting older
Looking for a wonder
From around the corner
Which never comes closer
There are no borders across the lands
But we mark out others between our hands
And always we say that it's a sign of the times
No need for duty, no need to pay
All the same for crossing we have no chance
Why can't we unlock the car door just for a while?
We know too much of each other
Like sister and brother
And it makes us bother
This borderline still gets farther
From hour to hour
And nothing comes after
There are no borders across the lands
But we mark out others between our hands
And always we say that it's a sign of the times
No need for duty, no need to pay
All the same for crossing we have no chance
Why can't we unlock the car door just for a while?
Let's get out and leave the car
Take someone on our shoulders
It's not far cause in your heart
There are no borders
There are no borders across the lands
But we mark out others between our hands
And always we say that it's a sign of the times
No need for duty, no need to pay
All the same for crossing we have no chance
Why can't we unlock the car door just for a while?
Let's get out and leave the car
Take someone on our shoulders
It's not far cause in your heart
There are no borders

Something happens all the time
Something happens all the time
Split a tree, pick up a stone
Something happens that you don't know
And the colours of the pond
You can see them if you want
Our life
Happens all the time
Life happens all the time
Happens all the time
Life happens all the time
Up in heaven, close by the ground
It still smiles at you somehow
And new colours can be found
If you closely look around
Our love
Happens all the time

Speaking in Tongues

I can hear the words
But I can't understand
Don't know where they go
Where's the fountainhead
I look upon the sky
Maybe there I'll find
Answers wait outside my window
Even in the night
Eyes are open wide
Bình minh của tôi
This is the place where we belong
Where everyone of us was born
Bình minh của tôi
There is no need to say a word
It seems like we're speaking in tongues
Qua lớp sương mù sớm, nhìn phiá cuối chân trời
Hy vọng sẽ nhìn thấy, nơi đất trời mở ra
Somewhere in the sky
There's a place for us
Always waits outside your window
The other side of the world
Has become so close
Bình minh của tôi
This is the place where we belong
Where everyone of us was born
Bình minh của tôi
This is the place where we belong
Where everyone of us was born
Bình minh trên núi
There is no need to say a word
It seems like we're speaking in tongues
Bình minh trên núi
There is no need to say a word
It seems like we're speaking in tongues

Dance in the Roses
04:04

I wanna dance in the roses
With no shoes on my feet
To follow these noiseless voices
They keep haunting me
I wanna dance in the roses
I wanna dance in the roses
I wanna dance
I wanna turn into dust
Back into the place of my birth
I wanna be mown like the grass
Spread myself into the air
I wanna turn into dust
Cause I've got someone to trust
I wanna trust
But it's so hard to see
Too far between you and me
If we want to dance
I wanna dance in the roses
With no shoes on my feet
To follow these noiseless voices
They keep haunting me
I wanna dance in the roses
They are thornless roses
To me
But it's so hard to believe
How far it is between you and me
Are we gonna dance?

There's no need to die in 2045
Stop looking at the sky, here is your paradise
Real immortality is in virtuality
So come and dance with us
Digitalize your mind
It won't be a heavy file
Only a megabyte
Disco paradiso
Disco paradiso
Disco paradiso
Aaa – Aaa
There's no need to die in 2045
Stop looking at the sky, here is your paradise
Real immortality is in virtuality
So come and dance with us
Digitalize your mind
It won't be a heavy file
Only a megabyte
I went through another astronomical unit
Recalling the time when I was a human
And I ask myself tonight
Wouldn't it be nice
If I could see, at least once
A simple candlelight?

I Was Bored
02:46
|
|||
|
I was bored of everything that I haven't even done
I gave up all the time before I finally tried to love
I am a bit bored of loving now
I still watch the same old music videos from the lucky fallen stars
I find nothing that beats their physical-mystical style
I will not change this until I die
But in the end I do all of this just
All of this just for one
People want to feel love and they borrow memories
Download highs, download films, but love they cannot steal
They were bored before and will always be
But in the end they do all of this just
All of this just for one
But in the end they do all of this just
All of this just for one
For the one they really need
But in the end I do all of this just
All of this just for one
For the one I really need

Come to the Water
03:53
|

It’s so easy to feel grateful
Standing there on solid ground
No one’s hurting, no one’s fearful
No one thinks of giving up
But sometimes life’s a little crazy
Running out of hope we're lost
No one promised us smooth sailing
Yet they make us dance in storms
Come to the water
Diving head first, find your peace
Come to the water and believe
How does one breathe underwater?
Would he rather walk on shore?
Knowing there’s more to discover
In surrender to the undertow
Come to the water
Diving head first, find your peace
Come to the water and believe
It's living water
And the well here never runs dry
Come to the water that satisfies
Come to the water now
Come to the water now
Come to the water now
Come to the water now
Come to the water
Diving head first, find your peace
Come to the water and believe
It's living water
And the well here never runs dry
Come to the water that satisfies
Come to the water now
Come to the water now

Ruckus, ruckus
Make a ruckus, ruckus
Get up from the sofa
Don't be discouraged
All you couch potatoes
Take each other's hands
Ruckus, ruckus
Make a ruckus, ruckus
Get up from the sofa
Don't be discouraged
All you couch potatoes
Take each other's hands
Let's pretend the opposite is happening
Let's pretend the opposite
Let's pretend and see
If we'd try to do this pretending
Would it change a thing
