Tea For Two - dream or reality (1993) song lyrics

WAY OF LIFE (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

11.45 PM
I knew from the start that she would never succeed...
the first day I came, walking down the old streets
unwilling faces still staring at me - what an odd sight!
she climbed up the stairs, trying to hide her sad face
I felt obliged to help her and the clock strikes the quarter
her answer was:
'Yes! I'll try once more, imagine those who stand alone
I hurry up in order to catch their defeat
since I got no replay, why don't you come in ?'
she complained without a course and I took a glance at the headlines
her hands were trembling but then she told me the truth
her ashes were scattered over the seas
until this day I don't know, what really happened to me
there is not much time left, I'm tired
besides I don't want to see that play again and again
there is no doubt - a decision will soon be made, maybe tonight
I'm afraid to go my way but desease found it's way to me ...

THINGS TO COME
I still hear your voice inside my head and I'm dying to know where you are
my blood starts to get hot and cold
when I remember the first time you looked into my eyes
all the nights we spent together in all the dreams blew up my mind
I had to hide my desire, now after all that lying, I watch it dying
and now I've got the real thing here, don't ever leave me!
yes, I've got the real thing here, no sign or warning
You sang about the time to leave
and somehow I thought it would never come
as if by magic I was to exchange glances
just standing and listening
devoured with a jealousy passion,
I've been longing for you're love - a touch
but in the end I stood alone - why did you go?
and now I've got the right one here, things to come
yes, I've got the real thing here, things are to come

challenging ideas, lights are dimmed freeze, by surprise I face
relentlessly I guess, cocktails ditch my fears, take a look,
I will get this charming girl right now
and I need to hold you in my lovin'arms,
ooh I swear, from time to time insane
I hold my breath I'd like to taste your lips
only one embrace boiled up my blood, ooh pushin' pushin' ...
I swear to keep the lust inside my flustered head
- ooh I swear, from time to time too late
I changed my mind, I'd like to taste your flesh and sweat
and I still hear your voice inside my head,
I am dying to know where you are
my blood is getting hot and cold
when I remember the way you looked into my eyes
all the nights that I missed you all the dreams blew up my mind
I had to hide my desires,
now after all that lying, just watch me dying
Ooh, I had the right one here, Things were to come, my love
yes, I had the real thing here deep inside my heart

NIGHTMARE
do you feel the cold slowly creeping up your neck,
can you hear the voices, the damned are crying to get back,
don't you see the colours changing, you find them all around
do you see the warnings, don't you see the writings on the wall
just a dream or reality
the night has come, where are stars in this cold dark sky
try to look at me, try to fulfill the prophecy
the moon shines bright tonight seems he's grinning right at me
but who's to know if it's a dream or reality - is it a dream or reality
I'm on the run gonna take it all, never surrender myself to my enemies
this is the night they came to sacrifice another lamb
try to look at yourself! there's a treatment in store for you
but who is to know if it's a dream or reality
is it a dream or reality ?


MASADA COMPLEX (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

just like a small explosion when he hits the balls to break
all his hopes of private glory lying on this frame
some balls
He feels so secure - the winning smile is on his face
but it starts to fade away with every shot I make
deep inside of me a certain feeling starts to grow
grinning shapes get on my face
my perfect mask turns black to blue
believe in friendly perjuries, who cares about the compliment's malice ?
I might feel superior, but there's a voice, a fear I'll fail it raises
anytime they seem to laugh behind my back
and there's a voice, a fear I'll fail, it raises anyway
you wanted to meet a friend, to play a bit, to have some fun
I play to win, to satisfy my personal desire
perpetual invasion of destructive thoughts
ambiguous words will fix attention
they make me revise - make me analyse - realize
while visions confuse your weakening reason
though I'm sure to win I long to expect the worst
when everyone's laughing behind my back
and there's a voice, a fear I'll fail it raises anyway


REMEMBER JERMAINE (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

resting in the middle of nowhere, wondering how to begin
I am lost between visions of yesterday, between now and them
I'm getting back to where I started, I know that I'm alone again
back where I started, remember Jermaine
I won't cry in case you hurt me
I won't smile in case you're leaving me
where is our tomorrow, where are the good times we had
tell me'bout the truth, oh, please remember Jermaine

I'm standing in the middle of nowhere
wondering how should I begin
lost between wishes of yesterday- between now and then
I'm getting back to where I started
for now I'm alone again
back to where I started, oh remember Jermaine

can't you see those bloody teardrops
can't you see the people getting drowned
can't you see me restraining my tears
It is like falling down -
can't you give, can't you believe, can't you just go away
I won't cry in case you hurt me
I won't smile in case you're leaving me
yes, I know that I wouldn't fall, oh, I'd like to go on
won't you still remember, can you remember
the words you told me and the things we did
the things we laughed about, it could be real
have I told you any lie, can you still remember Jermaine
I won't cry, I won't smile, I will just believe in you
remember Jermaine
well, I said I'll always believe in you,
well, I said I'll always trust you
can't you understand that I have to go my way
- oh, please remember Jermaine


TIME OF PASSION (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

you're still alone but light comes shining
through the half closed window
I'd like to take this way to you
it's dark inside your sleeping room
and slowly, oh so slowly - there's a smell, I know it's you

there's no time to ask myself
I can't understand the way I feel
or the forces inside my mind
the shadows seem to bare new sights again
I hear you breath, it's like the blowing of a summerwind
I'm coming closer, step by step I take
I touch your body, I long to touch your sweetest dreams
there's no time to ask myself
I can't understand the way I feel
or the forces inside my mind
the time of endless love
a never ending rush of lust
I'd like to make it never end


IN THE END (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

I hardly remember the time before you - but now it's history
a world of toys is lying in front of me
the highest building seems to be the guaranty
morbid thoughts about the successful suicide
interesting viewpoints accused by the afterglow
I never cared about the time to come
wasted chances for a world that's gone
the face of the moon will never turn to face the burning sun
the time has changed, no one can stop it's run
no more teardrops on the windows
and no more crying in the rain
my life has changed I lay down my broken wings
I'll try to face it, it's the end.

I went back home to my room to have a little break,
maybe to celebrate the day
I open the door, something's strange
...I smell your perfume when I enter my room
and I see your face when I close my eyes,
I'm lying on the bed, trying not to think
I sense- someone's here, is coming near,
snatching the guardian cover away from me
I keep my eyes closed
being gripped and dragged into a beautiful picture
from time to time I have a pleasant sensation
then I hear him crying
"You've got to leave this place, get out ! "
so I'm lying there somehow amused - and confused
while the door is opened
someone enters the room and I smell her perfume

You'll never see those bloody teardrops
running down my cheek
no more teardrops on the windows
and no more crying in the rain
my life has changed I lay down my broken wings
I'll try to face it it's the end.


HIGHLANDS (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

it was one of those nights with thunder and rain
when they marched to take the plunge
they kept their wives and children in suspense
a month of sundays
they carried banners with pride
the enemy appeared on the other side
but only one of them could get the power
but only one of them could be the king


SKYLINE (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

maybe, one step away,
though my eyes stick to the silhouettes
and I wish I could stay all the while in perfect time
night after night a smart pretty man
with a courageous smile
not just making promises
I have a nervous restlessness
as I watch them passing by
looking out the window I receive a glowing in the night
down there in the city like an ocean of light and noise
there's a pulse like a beating
like the beating of my heart
will you give me satisfaction
sometimes it might be a cold night
sometimes it might be a gate to hell

will you give me satisfaction
it takes control and slowly tears me apart
listen, I know they will never come back
the days when I move the masses
the days when I shook all this hands
the sound of the city and it's shimmering lights
the blazing fire shining in between
will you give me satisfaction

soft and low but I'm not a shy one,
pretty girls come in every size
not another moment to waste
they're facing me and cry hellay
I'm dancing through the night with sensation,
all my fears left so far behind
I'm growing, big and bigger
- will you give me satisfaction?
