Such Dein Glück, fahr ein Stück
mit der Straßenbahn.
Wende Deinen Blick nach vorn,
sieh den Lauf der Schienen an.
Dort im Schnee, wo das Licht
an der Nacht zerbricht.
Dort wo das Licht sich
mit der Dunkelheit vermischt.

Dort werd ich warten.
Dort werd ich sein.
Allein.

Such Dein Glück, fahr ein Stück,
wünsch Dir Dein Schaukelpferd zurück.
Wende Deinen Blick nach oben,
betrunken, beleidigt und betrogen.
Schau nach Osten, schau nach Westen,
schau nach Norden, schau nach Süden.
Wo sind all die Träumer hin,
hinter all den Lügen?

Wo werd'n sie warten?
Wo werd'n sie sein?
Allein.

Ob Liebe kommt, wann Liebe geht,
wer kann das sagen oder nicht.
Wer kann das schon alles halten,
was er heute Dir verspricht.
Komm, lass uns fortgehn, lass uns weggehn,
was uns nicht umbringt, bringt uns weiter.
Ich kann nicht und ich will nicht
begehren und dann scheitern.

Wo wirst Du warten?
Wo wirst Du sein?
Wo soll ich hingehn?
Bist Du allein?

Allein.

Lust For Boots (Nancy Sinatra & Iggy Pop cover)

We always found this tune underrated despite making it a very respectable #10 at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (especially given Germany's performance ever after). Not sure if we did it any good, judge for yourself...

Taken by a Stranger (Lena cover)

At the carnival site
outside my window
through which I fell from your grace
on the day when we crashed on the moon
We were partners in crime
We were hawkers on Broadway
We were lovers in armor riding all the king’s horses 
through the eye of the storm

And we walked in darkness
Far away from daylight
And we lived in the shadows
…as the war came marchin' in

When you walked off this stage
You threw me a lifeline
to the spot where my shipwreck was bouncing
off the edge of the known universe
We were out in the field
fighting side-by-side
on the merry-go-round of our own battleground
we kept shooting our way through the crowd

And we walked in darkness
Far away from daylight
And we lived in the shadows
…as the war was raging on

We can conquer this world
unlike we did in the past
we don’t need any soldiers or armies or traitors
or a cannonball blast

‘Cause we walk in sunlight
And we hide from the darkness
All we chase is our shadows
Yeah, we walk in sunlight
And we hide from this darkness
All we chase is our shadows
…as the time of war is gone

We can conquer this world
We can conquer this world
We can conquer this world
…as we did with the last

Time Of War

On the stairs of a broken ladder
Shines the light of a burning star
And through the noise of the stormy weather
Breaks the sound of an electric guitar

Like Lovers Do (Hommage à Eurythmics)

Less ain't more
When it's more you're in for
But time won't treasure anything
So burn down all your war machines...tonight
