up and down and round and round in and out and children will shout out with glee sit on a bee sit on a fox that slowly rocks I sit on the floor can't take it no more the world is spinning round and round turning me upside down i reach for the sky and fall on the ground the question is why and look what I found the answer is simple it's a merry go round merry go round I feel let down merry go round that's the answer I found merry go round I pull a string to change thing I push and shove and turn on the wing only to find I've changed my mind the world has moved and left me behind I grab for a hold and find I'm clutching a string merry go round I feel let down merry go round that's the answer I found merry go round

haunted 04:14
no 1 was a real good friend I guess it wasn't meant to be in the end but when she kissed me on a train to Rome We bumped our noses and the moment was gone no 2 was out of reach for me smart and pretty as can be once at the beach I oiled her back from her feet up to her neck I feel haunted by the missed opportunities I feel haunted by the missed opportunities no 3 claimed to be a singer I played in a band and so I'd bring her but at the mic her lips were shut up tight I took her home but she left me outside 4 smiled at me and I was hers then she took another guy upstairs the idiot dumped her - what a shame I looked all summer long for her in vain I feel haunted by the missed opportunities I feel haunted by the missed opportunities sometimes your life will go off on a tangent the missed opportunities will take revenge and I found that if you don't act all you find will be regrets no 5 was broken hearted she came to me to be comforted perhaps I should have been insisting but I'm a nice guy so I kept resisting no 6 was at a gig she got snuggly and I was a prick when later on I called her all she showed me was her ice cold shoulder I feel haunted by the missed opportunities I feel haunted by the missed opportunities well there were others I will not mention I always acted with good intentions but when the moment comes you gotta grab it a second chance? you might not get it I feel haunted by the missed opportunities I feel haunted by the missed opportunities I feel haunted by the missed opportunities I feel haunted by the missed opportunities

neither nor 03:06
I neither claim that I don't love you nor do I say that I depend on you you know you mean a lot to me but I can't read my feelings easily if I tell you that I love you I run the risk to lose you so I hope you'll help me find a way and if we go on as before I might wanna have more but I wouldn't dare to say I neither claim that I don't love you nor do I say that I depend on you you know you mean a lot to me but I can't read my feelings easily so I'll wait for you to decide what to do, if you feel the same if you wanna play the game with me I neither claim that I don't love you nor do I say that I depend on you you know you mean a lot to me but I can't read my feelings easily I neither claim that I don't love you nor do I say that I depend on you you know you mean a lot to me but I can't read my feelings easily I'm neither sure that you don't love me nor do I fear that you're not fond of me I hope I mean a lot to you but I don't know if that is really true you neither act as if you do love me nor do I suspect that you depend on me you know our friendship means a lot to me but speaking out might ruin it easily I'll neither push you to be dating me nor can I deny that you are tempting me either way with you will be just fine as long as someday I can call you mine and so I'll wait for you to decide

my life 04:05
sometimes my life fees like a swimming pool on a dry hot summer day sometimes my life feels like an icy lake in a hidden forest vale what will I do? who will I meet? what should I buy? where will I eat? sometimes my life feels like I'm dragging my feet on a long and winding road sometimes my life feels like a tower behind castle walls and moat when will it end? where should I flee? what is the point? who should I be? and then I rise up to the sky my golden wings spread out and fly sometimes I wake and find I'm falling down headlong to the ground sometimes I crash into the dust and my self is shattered all around how can I rise? how can I stand? how can I survive until the end?

you believe that I've been cheating but can't you feel the way my heart is beating come check my pulse and feel that I don't lie let me be your possession I will give you all my passion I'll never ever make you cry so please don't change a winning team together we could face this world and make it our dream we will find a way to go I don't have a doubt give it time to let it grow we can work it out well the only way to measure all the love my heart could treasure is to tear it up and turn it inside out do you have to be so thorough? do you have to feed upon my sorrow? the more you probe the less you'll find out so please don't change a winning team together we could change this world and make it our dream we will find a way to go I don't have a doubt give it time to let it grow we can work it out

lose control 03:59
getting back to our special place trying to read between the lines of your face when we get closer - more or less you just lean back and take a deep breath you always want to comprehend there's nothing you don't understand but now come on let your feelings grow start to lose control when you say that you're feeling fine I can see you build a wall in your mind to lock yourself away from outside noone will know the thoughts that you hide you always want to comprehend there's nothing you don't understand but now come on let your feelings grow start to lose control get away - lose your head because you'll never get to feel a thing when you're dead drop the stone - miss the grip just close your eyes, empty your mind nothing is ever easy with you you're the toughest nut to crack that I knew still I feel it's a sensual way discovering feelings anew every day I guess I'll never comprehend some things I'll never understand but when you let your feelings grow I'll love to watch you lose control

when your friends are all pissed off because you said some stupid stuff and you're eating your birthday cake all alone when the postman calls you names and the waitress does the same and in the subway old women poke their canes in your bones and a kid with a cap spills his coke on your coat and you're feeling so tense like you're bound to explode when your girlfriends pass by just to tell you good bye 'cause the've met each other when your goldfish died now they've painted your bedroom in a most obscene way just to make you remember those happy days and they drop your TV - oooops - by chance on the floor and your troubles are getting more more more and more the whole world is fighting you billions of people are looking for you lock the door and go back to bed sleeping is better than a blow on your head when your boss' car is new paid for by the jobs you do working after hours on the nightshift crew still he threatens you with cuts man this guy has got some guts but since you've got to pay the bills he's stuck on you and at the end of the cash there's so much month left to go but when you ask for advance the answer's no no no the whole world is fighting you billions of people are looking for you lock the door and go back to bed sleeping is better than a blow on your head the whole world - the whole world the whole world - the whole world the whole world - the whole world the whole world is fighting you billions of people are looking for you lock the door and go back to bed sleeping is better than a blow on your head

there was a time when I was playing alone  every night in front of the screen there was a time when I would stand in a corner hoping that I would be seen my lack of confidence was holding me back in finding a partner for games I was admiring girls from afar drawing hearts 'round their names those times are over since I have met you and now you are a part of my life everyday we are playing this game of loving husband and wife I never imagined how fun it would be with lots of laughter and joy I never believed it would happen to me we're each other's favourite toy playing with your things and you can always play with mine show me what you've got and I will promise to show you mine this is my favourite playgroup of all times our presence in time is like the tip of a knife you blink and in a moment it's gone what is the point of living this life  without having a good deal of fun this game isn't meant to be played on your own each one has a part of the whole so let's share it all until the dice are thrown nature has dealt us our roles playing with your things and you can always play with mine show me what you've got and I will promise to show you mine this is my favourite playgroup of all times playing with your things and you can always play with mine show me what you've got and I will promise to show you mine this is my favourite playgroup of all times

I like to go up when the sun's coming down on the highest hill where I see all around as I wait for the stars to appear in the sky while the day goes out and the night comes by the night air is cool while I ponder my life I think of my troubles, the worries and strife put my hands on the ground and let them flow away collecting my powers for the coming day everything is moving each and every day step by step but forwards live along the way change is all the same I like to go back when the crowd urges on look for the flowers that were trampeled upon go for a walk when the curfew begins push through the thistles, scratching my shins everything is moving each and every day step by step but forwards live along the way change is all the same I like to go up when the sun's coming down on the highest hill where I see all around as I wait for the stars to appear in the sky while the day goes out and the night comes by everything is moving each and every day step by step but forwards live along the way change is all the same

so I sit on the doorstep  waiting for the one and I listen for footsteps  that will never come and I sit by the river  hear the riverman's call and I walk in the forest where the broken leaves fall it is days that I've waited hoping for a sign even weeks will be gone soon I don't care about time I don't care about living in this lonesome shell very soon I will give in  be it heaven or hell and I sit by the river hear the riverman's call very soon I shall give in though I'm losing it all
