1  Tod blas es in Schnee: schoen ist das Leben, das Scheinen. Lobt es! O selbst ein Schaden ist schoen. Das Leben liebend – ach Stossen, lachende Not, es biss deinen Schoss. Labet das Leben, schoen ist die Sonne. Ach, selbst das Eisen lebt schon.  
(Unica Zürn, Berlin 1956)  

2  Tantakkatan Tantakkatan Tantakkatan Tantakkatan Tantakkatan Tantakkatan Tantakkatan  
Es klappern die Muscheln im Gleichklang 
und gelehrige Schüler nutzen den Schutz der langen Reihe um den ersten Tanz zu wagen  
Tantakkatan Tantakkatan  
Rauch zwischen Opfergaben und in den Händen der Priesterin  Tantakkataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooooooooo  
Dann ruft die Muschel dem Meer so fern 
und die Banner fest in der Hand wechselt der Schlangenkopf seine klappernde Richtung   
Tantakkatan Tantakkatan Tantakkatan Tan  
(Daniel Graziadei, © Iduna Verlag 2010)   

3  Masse troff, Binde schabte. Wer wob in Wabberwind offenes Abort-Ich? 
Messt, wo bibberndem Worte Satans Schiffe reden. Wachs barst wie ein Bomb-Stoff, Weib soff Mord, biss Ratte wach. Neben Waffenbeben wird Brot Atomscheiss- Wasserstoffbombe, wir beten dich an. (Unica Zürn, Berlin 1954)  

4  Hund im Ast, wiege den Greis ins Wunderding. Es sei Tag, heim ins Winterhemd. 
Eis-Sau ging in des Tigers Winde. Mein Hase, du sing` dass er hing wie ein Geist. 
Mund, du wirst dein Geheimnis sagen.  
(Unica Zürn, Montpellier 1955, 2. Fassung)  

5  Es war, als hätt` der Himmel 
Die Erde still geküßt, 
Daß sie im Blütenschimmer 
Von ihm nun träumen müßt`.  
Die Luft ging durch die Felder, 
Die Ähren wogten sacht, 
Es rauschten leis` die Wälder, 
So sternklar war die Nacht.  
Und meine Seele spannte 
Weit ihre Flügel aus, 
Flog durch die stillen Lande, 
Als flöge sie nach Haus.  
(Joseph von Eichendorff)  

7  Bevor er in die blaue Flut gesunken, 
Träumt noch der Schwan und singet todestrunken; 
Die sommermüde Erde im Verblühen 
Läßt all ihr Feuer in den Trauben glühen; 
Die Sonne, Funken sprühend, im Versinken, 
Gibt noch einmal der Erde Glut zu trinken, 
Bis, Stern auf Stern, die Trunkne zu umfangen, 
Die wunderbare Nacht ist aufgegangen.  
(Joseph von Eichendorff)  

8  erster Herbstregen das Grünleuchten der Bäume betropft sehnst du dich nach der Insel und dem warmen Sand zwischen deinen Zehen in braungebrannt Sehnst du dich nach der Insel und deinem Neubeginn 
Neu anfangen auf dem erloschnen Vulkan 
Ausbeulung der Erde Ausbeulung Deines Geistes 
Neu anfangen auf dem ruhenden Vulkan der auf sein Wecken bloß wartet 
während draußen erster Herbstregen deine Stirn betupft 
Drinnen alles glühend alles Segen alles Tanz 
Ja, komm schon, tanz! Tanz und mach es neu 
jeden Blick mach ihn neu jed Bewegung mach sie neu und einmalig 
auf caffelattefarben Stränden ja in warm türkisblau Wellen 
Lasziv das Räkeln auf dem ALL des Archipels im rauschend Flirren aller Zeiten im Flug auf Inseln Deiner Utopie 
Und das Draußen weicht dem Drinnen und glühend Segen tropft im Innen  
(Daniel Graziadei, © Iduna Verlag 2010)

Lyrics:

Friday - not even a week since we met 
You`re still a stranger more or less to me  
I see you`re someone who is hard to get 
Maybe that`s why I have to see you again 

Afternoon - at the lake with friends hangin` around 
That`s okay, but I`d rather be with you already 
Campfire, later in the evening 
 I think you might show up there to see me again 

I guess maybe I should be a little bit scared, 
but hey, I don ́t care 

Just
Be with me tonight 
 Let`s break our hearts together 
It`ll be alright...  to spend just this one night 
until the morning sunlight 

da daa da da daa daa  
da daa da da daa daa 
 da daa da da daa daa daa 

When the stars collide,  
Hold me tight, all the night,  It`ll be alright...   
Like on Broadway  
Break my heart in two - ooh ooh 

I know I`ll be punished for my foolishness  
Who dares to devote oneself to such extremes 
But if you ever feel adventurous  
screw it all, go for it and follow your dreams 

I guess maybe I should be a little bit scared, 
but hey, I don`t - 

Just:  
Be with me tonight 
 Let`s break our hearts together  
It`ll be alright... for me to spend just this one night 
Until the morning sunlight 

I guess I`m just a fool,  
That you could be my baby, 
Just one night for sure  
This time - I want 

Don`t wanna feel  
You cannot ride such a wave eternally  
That just ain`t real  
But too late, I think I`m ready for drowning in that sea 
The crimson glowin` night  is waiting for you and - 

I guess I`m just a fool 
 to think that I could love you, 
unless it could be true 
 This time, it could 

Just be with me tonight 
 Let`s spend this time together 
 It`ll be alright... for me to spend the night with you, 
until the morning sunlight 

I guess I`m a fool, 
 to talk about love, 
talkin` about love, oh, 
damn, but yeah, I think,  
I think, I think I`m gonna love you like crazy

Lyrics:

This might take you by surprise 
The day has come 
And there is no denying 
See the broken satellites 

The bridge over the ocean leads 
to the mirror in the sky 
You must think I am crazy, dontcha, 
but we`ve been living in a lie 
 
You don`t really feel me 
My wings are stuck below 
The silver lining`s glowing 
It`s the final curtain call 

ooh ooh ooh 
ooh ooh ooh 
ooh ooh ooh 

ooh ooh ooh 

Rising so brightly, 
these flames, they just wanna burn,  
you`ll always be a part of me Baby, 
now will you hear it, 
for you and for me, 
just set me free, 
oh 

ooh ooh ooh 
ooh ooh ooh 
ooh ooh ooh

Lyrics:

Lately, 
I`ve been thinking of you babe 
I remember 
How you said you would lead
Me to a place where we could be 
Together

Best place for me ever 
Where I could fly, and flow like a river, 
And you would be the one to align me 

I was about to sign for 
Your special movie  
That we would both deliver 
To take me to the top, 
So you said 

But your tower was way too high 
It almost fell 
When it crashed into the sky
So I flew away to make my own -

I forgot your lines 
But I don`t mind 
`Cause the new script is better 
And it`s all mine 

I`m doing pretty great without you 
I never thought this could be so true 
Oh, I`m doing great 
Just wait and see, baby 

I`m doing pretty great without you 
I never saw the sky so blue 
I`m taking flight 
To cross the line that you drew me 

The stars align, 
And it`s all mine, 
All mine 

Lately, 
I saw you on the street, baby,
You`re going grey, mate. 
I ran away, 
Hoping you wouldn`t catch sight of me, baby 

Shattering memories, 
Like trampled cherries, 
That`s what I never wanted for you and me, 
No, I`ll just throw away the key 

And forget the lines 
For I won`t mind 
`Cause the new script is better 
And it`s all mine 

I`m doing pretty great without you 
I never thought this could be so true 
Oh, I`m doing great   
Just wait and see, baby 

I`m doing pretty great without you 
I never saw the sky so blue 
I`m taking flight 
To cross the line that you drew me 

I know deep inside myself 
There's more than you ever saw in me 
Nobody would ever have known 
How far I would be going 
For all to see there could be so much love 
And this is how it feels to break free  

I'm doing pretty great without, 
Without you, (out you,) baby, 
This is what it's all about 
That I could make it without you, boy 

I'm doing pretty great without you baby, 
Without you baby 
I`m doing great without 
You, 
Without you

Great Without You

Lyrics:

I've never come to this point before 
Nothing we could rewind 
And it is you who brought me into the core 
That zero state of mind 

Airborne like sunflakes 
Trembling butterflies 
Fearlessly over summer lakes 
In water ripple skies 

I wish that moment could forever be with me 
And you, `cause we belong together eternally 

We're specially designed 
To leave it all behind 
Intertwined 
Until the end of time 

I will be yours and you will be mine 
Baby you're just so fine

And we are one 
Together we`ll share this destiny 
Until the end of time 
To leave it all behind 

Leave it all behind

Dewdrops in your eyes 
Ready for the start 
Dissolving into the skies 
You'll always be in my - 

I wish that moment could forever be with me 
And you, because we belong together eternally 

We're specially designed 
To leave it all behind 
Intertwined 
Until the end of time 

I will be yours and you will be mine 
Damn baby you're just so fine 

And we are one 
Together we`ll share this destiny 
Until the end of time

→ Lyrics:

Take me to the stars
No matter how far
And if it`s just my fantasy
For me you are a galaxy

Something woke me up from my dream
in the middle of the night
My constant thoughts of you stir me up
or is it the moon that`s much too bright

As if a midnight sun has risen
Above the mountain`s silver lake
Or does this shining come from inside the water
Am I still dreaming or awake

Am I still dreaming
It seems I`m floating up all the way

Take me to the stars
No matter how far
And if it`s just my fantasy
For me you are a galaxy

I guess it`s just my vision
or is it me who`s in your mind
My world has been turned upside down
since we had to leave our days behind

And now there`s nothing I want more than to be
back together with you
and to dive into the heart of that sea			
where we belong eternally

Into the heart of the sea of all being

Take me to the stars
No matter how far
And if it`s just my fantasy
For me you are a galaxy

Anyway they say
Everything is just vibration
So now the wildest dreams could come true 
(ooh ooh)
Beyond humanity
Overcoming gravity

Take me to the stars
No matter how far
Beautiful bizarre
Show us who we are

(Would you take me to the stars)

Take me to the stars
No matter how far
And if it`s just my fantasy
For me you are a galaxy

Take me to the stars
