Reasons
Is there a way to escape
Is there a reason for us staying here now
We are not finished yet here
But we can choose between to break or to bow
The walls are falling apart
The ceiling's coming down inch by inch by inch
We have no chance to escape
We have no reasons to cling to, cling to, cling to
Don't cheer too loud, there's no way out
Don't lose the time, don't start to doubt
Why are we trapped in this place
Can anybody tell us what is the use, the use, the use
We have to work our way out
But we don't know what we're expected to do
Some unknown mission is keeping us
From walking out off this isolated room
We'll need all help we can get
To tell us what we are expected to do
Don't cheer too loud, there's no way out
Don't lose the time, don't start to doubt
Is there a light in the distance
That's leading us all out off this place
Is there a voice in the dark
That we can listen to to show us the way
Is there a way to escape
Is there a reason for us staying here now
We are not finished yet here
But we can choose between to break or to bow
Don't cheer too loud, there's no way out
Don't lose the time, don't start to doubt

I know why

I know why
I know why birds and people have to be so shy
I don't know why everybody has to be way down low
Suddenly I discover broken brass bands at the corner of the street
Two thousand fallen angels imitating a dancing beat
Looked up...a Salvation Army and asked a lady for a dance
But she took, she took the bible producing several lines I couldn't understand
See the hands turning stuck in the middle of the clock
Hear the sound moving stuck in the middle of the rock
See the hands turning stuck in the middle of the clock
Hear the sound moving stuck in the middle of the rock
Stick to god, don't move your legs, dancing is illegal and a sin
Well you're missing what we're playing, oh boy, it's a psalm, it's a hymn
She went away, left me alone, leaving her trombone for my sweet lips
Hoping that I would praise the Lord, but instead I felt her fingertips
See the hands turning stuck in the middle of the clock
Hear the sound moving stuck in the middle of the rock
See the hands turning stuck in the middle of the clock
Hear the sound moving stuck in the middle of the rock
See so clear hurting my eyes by coming too damn near
I know why the streets look empty with a rainy sky
See the hands turning stuck in the middle of the clock
Hear the sound moving stuck in the middle of the rock
See the hands turning stuck in the middle of the clock
Hear the sound moving stuck in the middle of the rock

Heaven can wait

Heaven can wait
And as the night falls I hear a sad Chinese blues
Some fragile notes mixed up with a saxophone tune
And as the night falls I hear five holy mountains
I hear a desperate rain, a desperate rain
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
And as the night falls I hear desert hymns
I see optical illusions of an evening in the past
Before the moon comes up
There’s the absence of a dancing girl
I hear a silent love song
Before the moon comes up, heaven can wait
Before the moon comes up, heaven can wait
Before the moon comes up, heaven can wait
Before the moon comes up, heaven can wait
And as the sun sets the light is fading away
The shadows melting with the darkness outside
Before the night falls
The music gets softer and softer
So in the end the silence is all that is left
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
And as the night falls, heaven can wait
