Limbo

Voodoo warning
Is calling
Down in limbo
Moonlight lush life
Bears strange fruit
Down in limbo

Come with me now
A moth to a flame
You never get near enough
You try again
Closer now
Oh how we dance
The spirit holding us
In a trance

Bamboo dancer
No stranger
Down in limbo
Can you tango?
Takes two to
Down in limbo

You are the one
Now is the time
Let your memory beat the drum
On the street car line

Voodoo warning
Is calling
Down in limbo
Moonlight lush life
Bears strange fruit
Down in limbo

Creole tattoo
I buy you
Down in limbo
Heartbeat you mistreat
I owe you
Down in limbo

Kiss And Tell

Ten cents a dance
It´s the only price to pay
Why give ´em more
When it´s only love for sale?
Adam and Eve
It´s the oldest game in town
Just a one way street
To a faded magazine

Kiss and tell
Money talks - it never lies
Kiss and tell
Give and take - eye for an eye

Fever - the heat of the night
Dreamer - stealer of sighs

One public face
In a private limousine
Flash photograph
It´s the only light you see
No secret life
There´s no secret you can steel
Your lips are moving
But I will never know
What they mean

Kiss and tell
Money talks - and love...it burns
Kiss and tell
Give and take - we live and learn
Kiss and tell
We never lie
Eye foe an eye
Blood on a nail
Kiss me again

New Town

New town
There´s a place
A mad affair
In a new world
Heaven send
A life that´s made for us
Out of luck
Out of touch
Out of love

No concrete jungle
Dancing feet
Cul-de-sac of desire
Is in itself
Destroying me
I´ve got to live down
Don´t want to dwell in history
That´s why I´m leaving now

New town
There´s a place
To do or die
In a new world
Heaven sent
A life that´s made for us
Out of luck
out of touch
Out of love

No laughing boys
Forbidden dreams
No willow weep
For me now
The shadow hanging over me
I´ve got to tear it down

New town - calling me

Day For Night

Mystery of life
Buried in the sand
Moving finger write
I am longing to understand

Driving away the dark
Uncertainty
A shooting star
Can go so far
It´s where I want to be

Open your eyes
Day for night
Look what you done to me
Open you heart
Stay tonight
No woman could mean
So much to me

Mystery of love
Do you see
The light of the day now?
Hidden by a veil
Are the ways
Of a cheating heart

Wish I could change your mind
The restless sea
A shooting star
Can go so far
It´s where I want to be

Zamba

Girl you drive me crazy
Why you never come around
Now you´re such a lady
Why your feet don´t touch the ground

Tell me pretty baby
Say you´ll never let me down

Autumn clearing
All the leaves are falling down
I can see clearly now

The Right Stuff

Got your money on the table
And the devil in your eye
Who is that woman with the crooked smile?
You got to go with what you feel
A little loving is a dangerous thing
Black is the ocean - a burning sky
Her nature´s wild - hard to beat the right stuff
It´s mountain high - river deep the right stuff

Got your pearls on a string
And your skin´s so bare
Over your shoulder there´s a world out there
You got the nerve - you gonna win
Boy you´re playing with a dangerous thing

So it goes without saying
She´s the queen of the Nile
Lion woman with the crooked smile
You got the nerve - who´s gonna win?
Boy you´re playing with a dangerous thing

Send me the woman on a bended knee
Emerald eyes in desert heat
She´s mountain high - river deep the right stuff
Send me the woman to fight for me nature´s wild - hard to beat
She´s mountain high - river deep the right stuff

Seven Deadly Sins

You´ve seen it all before you
You know the truth can be unkind
You fear the worst is hiding
It´s when you lose your mind

All I hear is chimes at midnight
Only seven deadly sins

You hear the words denying
You can´t believe but you try
When you long for what you don´t have
It´s why you live and die

You say your love is endless
But jealousy is blind
As we speak I rage and tremble
I must be sure you´re mine

The Name Of The Game

Out of control
And as far I can see
No religion can save me now
Through I´m trying to believe
How could I know
Her madness´d cling
From the time of her first caress
To the final fling

When you know the name of the game
You can never play enough
Every drop of blood is the same
You can never shed enough

Out in the cold
In the wilderness again
Where I fight for my soul
I can see no end

When you know the name of the game
You never play enough
In the name of heaven you pray
You can never pray enough

Out of control
Wild flower don´t you fade
Thundercloud on the hill
Let me lie in your shade
How could I know
Her madness´d cling
From the time of her first caress
To the final fling

When you know the name of the game
You can never play enough
And the way you love is the same
You can never give enough
When you know the name of the game
You can never play enough
In the name of heaven you pray
You can never pray enough

Bęte Noire

I know you - inside me
Like poison like wine
Now there´s no sense in falling
Say you´ll be mine

Give me the world around you
Give me the time
Only a dream without you
Say you´ll be mine

I´ve got - inside me
In darkness entwined
I would be lost without you
Say you´ll be mine

Reflected in water
Imagined by fire
I will be waiting for you
Say you´ll be mine

Beware bęte noire
Beware bęte noire
