Lyrics
1. U-MEN (LP MIX)
They seem to live in Panavision
On a TV screen or in a non-stop dream
Unicentified men
I think it ain't just
At the first glance, I knew there was no chance
To come into contact or to find a new compact
Unicentified men
I think it ain't just
2. GEOGRAPHY II
(Instrumental)
3. KAMPFBEREIT
Einstein ist auf dem Strand nun
Und die Fahnen flattern
Einstein ist auf dem Strand nun
Traenenbenetzte Augen
Und der Wind laesst den fliegen
Handgranaten
Kampfbereit
4. OPERATING TRACKS
Standing so tall / The ground behind
No trespassers / On every floor
A garden swing / And another door
She makes it clear / That everything is hers
[Chorus]
A place of abode
Not far from here
Ms. Van de Veer
All that belongs to / No-one sees
Curtains that waver / When evening falls
Inclosed by fences / Smothered by wood
Who stands behind / The shadows of the trees
[Chorus]
Standing so tall / But no-one sees
No trespassers / Whan evening falls
A garden swing / Smothered by wood
She makes it clear / The shadows of the trees
5. GEOGRAPHY I
There was a soldier
War material
Under the rain
Soulkilling, complain
And life to sustain
Pain - no pain
There will be ructions
More rebellions
Looting, rout
He's afraid of such a waste
There was a soldier
Warm material
Under the sun
For old acquaintances' sake
Don't make such a mistake
Please - oh please
There will be ructions
More rebellions
Looting, rout
Drugs tell upon one in time
6. TAKE ONE
Oh no don't take
This is our last order
last order
If you're (physical youth)
You say you're moving youth
So why don't you feel?
So why don't you feel the beat
Say how you could!
Give me...
Another one
My old regrets
Can't stay always (alone)
You feel the beat
This is...
One day the grounds will sway
Divine body, look right!
This is...
Give me another one
And take my old regrets
Can't stay always alone
Why don't you feel the beat?
Oh why don't you feel the beat?
7. CONTROVERSY BETWEEN
The time has come
To stop out old affairs
To know our neighbours
To try to learn new ways
They've gone too far
Who do they think they are
To treat us like they do
We'll change the roles and soon
Now war's declared
My lord what fools we were
To trust our neughbours
To let them share our lives

11. LOVELY DAY
It will never be like before
Lovely day
He never expected such a lovely day
Be sure he'll find you back someday
It was a lovely day
The day you walked away
Revenge came out to play
When you refused to stay
He walks through empty lanes
Cold anger, bursting veins
Now that I've lost your track
How could I bring you back
Be sure he won't forget
'coz the last words you said
Dissect his heart like golden scissors
Disrupt his head with morning quivers
Make him regret each moment spent with you
Make him regret what he intended to do
Too late to stop this agony
Please/Dont/Ask/Me/For/More
Lovely day
He never expected such a gift
It was a lovely day
The day you walked away
There's too much on my mind
To leave it all behind
Just hoping that I find
There's too much on my mind
Wait now for the night
The prey, the kill, the flight
Return then of the light
Won't reveal any displeasure
Don't ask me for more
It will never be like before
See the clouds gather low
He's walking in the lanes
His new life is so cruel
When there's sun it still rains
12. SPECIAL FORCES
Mental wires are sucking our bones
See how tha insect hooks
Towers open fire
Burning the records
Please enter the garden
The green garden of delights
No more trouble
No more answers
No mer songs of joy
The sugeon plies the steel
If we do well, we shall
Drink the juice and eat the pill
From red insects we dissect
From dark ah ah we reject
Descend lower, descend slowly
Find your own conception
Descend lower, descend slowly
Find your knife construction
Mental wires we must freeze
Lethal fires burn our knees
Garden of delights / Green garden
Garden of delights / G.O.D.
13. COMMANDE (REMIX)
I wanna survive..
This is the warning
Principles are dead
Morality can wait
You've got to survive in this jungle
Stick it in your mind
This is the warning
Enemies are watching
Open the window
Jump on the roof
Danger can come
From everywhere
My skin is damp, I'm shivring
Am I scared or am I cold
The tension rises
You've got to survive
Stick it in your mind
It's your Leitmotiv
This is an emergency
14. NO SHUFFLE (SINGLE MIX)
There is no shuffle
There is no shuffle here
Here on the North Pole
On this quiet dome
Sunshine on crystal
And milky walls of ice
All seem so fragile
Under the polar sky
Cold in head
But warm in the heart
You could find pleasure
You could find displeasure
There is no sound here
But the rumbling waves
Of the polar sea
I know this anger burning inside of you
And I'm afraid I can feel it too
I know this anger burning inside of you
There is an ice-floe between you and me
This is the place
This is the only place
Cold in the head
Warm in the heart
There is no shuffle
There is no shuffle here
Here on the North Pole
On this quiet dome
Remember what they said
You've got to go ahead
Always ahead
15. DON'T CRASH
Days of no horizon
Claustrophobia
Conditioned air
Don't crash - no flowers for you
Don't crash - no regrets
Gushing waters
Forcing it down
Days stars final flicker urging on the break of dawn
Stand fast - voices screech below
Stand fast - no clemency
Panic stricken faces
Diving further down into hell
Don't crash - no flowers for you
Don't crash - no regrets
Timeless terror is taking over
Throbbing hearts and restless bones - melted into one
Stand fast - voices screech below
Stand fast - no clemency
Breath slowly fading
Partly anger - partly stress
Stand fast - air is sparse below
Stand fast - no clemency
Been detected
Losing power
Deeper down we grovel on our sweating bending knees
Don't crash - no flowers for you
Don't crash - no regrets
Last moment cries on the radio
It's so hot down here
Crushing metal bloody waters
Same faces everywhere
Now the anger is fading
Now the fight can't go on
We'll always be remembered
We'll always be dismembered
Days of no horizon...
16. FUNKAHDAFI
We who are oppressed love those who fight against oppression and the oppressors...
Brothers and sisters, it is with great honor and privilege that I present to you the leader of the El Fatah revolution...
From Libya, our brother Muhammar El Kahdafi.
17. TAKE ONE (LIVE CHICAGO)
This is our last order
This is our last order
Last order to dance
If you're...
This is another curve
In human history
This is another curve
I taste your divine body
Science of the signs
Signs of the science
I feel it in the air
And deep inside of me
I feel it everywhere
We'll grow eternally
Within S.S.S.S. science
Give me!...
One day the mon will fall
One day the grounds will sway
This may be the last call
Of a lost world anyway
Fire!
Heat!
Power!
Time is up!
This is our last order
Last order to dance
This is another world
That smells organic life
This is another world
Like the edge of a knife
One day the moon will fall
One day the grounds will sway
Take One!
They seem to live in Panavision
On a TV screen or in a non-stop dream
Unicentified men
I think it ain't just
At the first glance, I knew there was no chance
To come into contact or to find a new compact
Unicentified men
I think it ain't just
