Tea For Two - snapshots (1996) song lyrics

ALL TOO LATE (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

moonlit balconies, I'm not too far from where You are
I am stepping that door

and heaven comes to who who waits
I wonder why you lost your faith
in a gambling spree
falling into reveries
so quiet in here, so peaceful here
a sad affair to know there's no one near me now

watch me bleed, I'm bleeding forever
watch me bleed, I'm bleeding forever

evening's fading in the candle glow
I'm full but I'm feeling empty
so many dreams that don't come true
I miss Your heart beating next to mine
foghorns blowing in the night
I'm sailing for some other shore
for one so young
I feel so cold
watch me bleed

no, don't pretend that You can
justify the pain and the cries

it's all too late, my dear
your face now like a photograph
when it's all too late ...just fading out

oh, watch me bleed, watch me bleed
I'm bleeding forever
oh, watch me bleed, watch me bleed
I'm dying slowly
leaving the show


TUNE FOR R. (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

sometimes, I wonder how I got along with you
sometimes I thought I should bring it to an end
but I could never stand missing you

I saw the problems, I heard the warnings
but I only want to feel you near me
I tried to give you and I tried to show you
but I only built a golden cage

I open up my eyes and I think about the good times
where will you be tomorrow...

do you remember, crazy things we've done
so much joy, we had so much fun
sometimes we've been like little children
we played , we laughed, we had some fights

I don't need a puppet, I don't need a playmate
well, I only want to feel you near me
don't want to hurt you, I don't want to force you
'cause I know you need to be free

I open up my eyes and I think about the good times
where will you be tomorrow
but I'm waiting, I'm counting every minute, where will you be tomorrow


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

dark wheelings and dealings need more then repression
also they need people who put up with it
and You ignore the first signs, for what you hate
for what you hate in it's entirety

pretending you don't see them - you lie!
pretending you don't see the lights at all
pretending you don't know them - you lie!
pretending you don't see the lights

I hear those voices
the way they talk, oh it could make me cry
as if they really love their nightmare
hiding from the light
if you don't reach for the stars
you will never reach the moon
you will remain there alone

do you believe, you couldn't change anything
why do You say it's not your fault,
is it a healthy coate
if you excuse unjustice
as due to be only a cog in the mighty works

you will remain there outside the light!


TROUBLED, OUT AND RED (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

life once meant one big cruel game
hey, do you want to play with me
you take the figures
it's all the same
you've got the permission to ride on the scree

in this ugly pink painted kitchen.
I took the first bite of my slice of bread
spreaded only with butter and red hot spices

this is the fourth beer for this evening
as if I was to drug my feelings
with hate and with passion
I overstrain my senses

troubled, out and red
when I'm looking to the stars
troubled, out and red
but no one's calling

I've got some problems with ordering my mind.
In my thoughts
I'm writing a long letter to You - hunting for words.
I hope You'll excuse that it took such a long time.

I don't want to write
I'd like to talk
as a matter of fact
do nothing at all.
I'd like to observe the fishes
beeing troubled out and red

I'd like to have an enormous chess cup
with Neptune and his people
a game without a looser
remi as long as it makes fun


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

the work is done I arrive at home
a little break
then I take the hunters clothes

I recognize the girl in front of me
her red pullover and the sweet below
she might be six or seventeen
and her shapes just light the fire in me

one more drink
one more rough compliment
I want to kiss these lips
a new adventure
hurry, HURRY, take her home
ooh, I want to touch her hips

touch her, feel her
feel her body shivering under mine
touch her, feel her
girl I want to make you mine

next day my watch shows half past ten
my booty's just been gone
I recreate
just a little break
then I take the hunter's clothes again


ON THE RUN (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

I
see the old man
see the child in front
wondering'bout what's heaven
and don't forget reality
dream, feel it and fly away...

where did you start
how could you forget
you heard the voice
you got this feeling
you know we'll hurt you so join the cage
and believe in what we said

where did you come from
how could you forget
you're just a puppet
so join the cage
instead you're showing us feelings
try to be a man
how could you forget, you're on the run

where are those who prayed the lies
where are those who get the prize
where are those who named the prophets
let me get out of here

I'm sitting on the edge of a lake
still watching that moon and the clouds
still staring
still smoking another cigarrette and I know
maybe I am a looser, oh, maybe I am the looser
maybe I am - go!


DYS GO BY (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

Too many people living in a secret world
time goes by so very slowly
You heared every word that was spoken tonight
You don't want to sit here
You don't want to talk

the candle's burning down like your conversation
you just sit there, you don't want to talk
too many people living in a secret world
and time goes by so very slowly

wake up, wake up, You can make it if you try
wake up, stand up, You can cross the borderline
try to get over and try to get on
wake up, wake up it's time to rise

and if days go by so very slowy, , It's time to rise
It's time to rise, take away the tears you cry
You better hear what I say, You can make it if you try


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

lying in the sun's just a nice occupation
I'm lying lazily on a lown
enjoining the warmth and amazing sounds
somewhere there with sensual intention

I wish the earth would open and swallow me up
I'm getting lost in the warm, moist ground
more and more I'm sinking deeper
sun and air are far away
but there's no need for looking or breathing

more and more, I'm sinking deeper and deeper
the lark's warble, the streams babble, bees humming
a couple's chattering, all die away with every inch
no roots, no worms, no need for my clothes
and to get rid of them needs only one thought

more and more, it's getting colder
between the devil and the deep blue sea
I can no longer tarry here
I'm leaving my body, a new way to reach an unknown attraction
somewhere there in the dephts
