Lyrics


1. GOING TO THE RUN

I could bet on new-years eve
He'd call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there alright
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He ride a bike instead of a car
I wanna be his friend

Dancing in the living room
With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth
He's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colors
Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes a riding with the brothers
He's got a fist in the air

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

One summer at the festival
Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He'd ride a bike instead of a car
I'll always be his friend

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel

Going to the run, run Angel
Forever going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel


2. TIME WARP

The night was dark, not a soul in sight
Looked like the moon and the stars had all just vanished from the sky
Rolling down the sidewalk, something caught my eye
Coming 'round the corner, setting my whole world on fire

Looked like an optic illusion
Felt like a brain-fry
Coming straight at me
Poison bleeding me alive

Mercy, mercy (2x)
Time warp, the memories keep coming back
Time warp, tobacco road and sugar shot
If I could walk I wouldn't need a dancing lesson
I'm in shock, I'm feeling like a different person
Ooh, my, my, ooh, my soul
Time warp, time warp, time warp
Time warp!

Doing the camel walk, do the whatoosee (?)
Stranger in a land of a thousand answers
More or less (...)
Nailed to the sidewalk, streaming in the night
Twisting in circles
Twisting in circles and feeling all right

Mercy, mercy (2x)
Time warp, the memories keep coming back
Time warp, tobacco road and sugar shot
If I could talk I wouldn't need a valuable lesson
I'm in shock, I'm feeling like a different person
Ooh, my, my, ooh, my soul
Time warp, time warp, time warp
Time warp!


3. STEAM ROLLER

I know back in '92
The trains all stopped
And the airplane, too
Crippled by the enemy
On account of the destiny

Oh, steamroller

I jumped in (...) and freezing cold
Maybe the world took a wrong direction
Looking out for U.F.O.
Praying for the resurrection

Oh, steamroller

[Chorus]
The argumental front line
Has been left behind
By the head of a vampire
And I can hide myself inside
From the sunlight and the breeze
And all the King concrete walls
They're all tired
And you're strong
So strong

Oh, steamroller

We die tomorrow, my stupid friend
Let's smoke cigarettes
And drink black coffee
Drown our sorrows and regrets
And talk some more
'Bout sweet nothings

Oh, steamroller

I remember '88
Weather was good
Always good on Sunday

[Chorus]

Oh, steamroller
