ALL NIGHT LONG
Music: Ulrich RothLyrics: Klaus Meine
Jack it in none of them
He'll get along
Some like the violin, some like the horn
She can't play on and my mind's goin' round
Hot lovin' woman is back in town
Well just to make me feel alright
All night long, oh yeah
But just to make me feel alright
All night long
Jack it in none of them
He'll get along
Some like the violin, some like the horn
She can't play on and my mind's goin' round
Hot lovin' woman is back in town
Oh, yeah
Well just to make me feel alright
All night long, oh yeah
But just to make me feel alright
All night long
PICTURED LIFE
Music: Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Klaus Meine, Ulrich Roth
Ooh! Dark meditation,
Your second sight can show my light
In a crystal ball.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.
Ooh! Dark meditation,
Deep down inside a stream of light
Begins to flow.
Sweet are the days, intoxication
Crow-black the nights caging my mind
Behind the wall.
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Into the rock to find the cream
Into the rock through walls of red dreams
Pictured life from yesterday.
Pictured life, pictured life
Pictured life from yesterday ...
BACKSTAGE QUEEN
Music: Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Klaus Meine
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna I know
You wanted my love and I gave it to you.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road.
Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna so good
My feeling with you was all very true.
Hey little Donna, sweet little Donna you know
Goodbye is hello, 'cos I'm on the road.
Take it easy, don't get me wrong,
Just keep me in your dreams.
Take it easy, life goes on
My little backstage queen.
Hey little Donna
Sweet little Donna
Goodbye Donna ...
POLAR NIGHTS
Music: Ulrich RothLyrics: Ulrich Roth
Down, down ...
That's bringing me down
The stars in the sky
Seem to fall to the ground.
Time, time ...
I'm chasing the time
The stars in the sky
Seem to be turning round.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night of your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Round, round ...
My mind's whirling round
The moons in the sky
Seem to burn on the ground.
Gone, gone ...
My mightmares are gone
The moons in the sky
Seemed to eat up the sun.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Back from polar nights ...
I was down ...
I was out ...
The nights at the pole've been
So cold without you!
I was down ...
I was out ...
The pole-star was bringing me
Back home to you.
Is that the wind in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
Is that the night in your eyes
That is soothing my mind?
IN TRANCE
Music: Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Klaus Meine
I wake up in the morning
and the sun begins to shine
the day did sneak up on the night
I see your face and I see myself
and I get a little taste of life
I try to stand it for a while
But I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
I feel so sad I'm feeling down
On the radio the music plays
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I close my eyes
I think today is getting better with a sip of wine
and I can stand it for a while
When I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey... Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
I'm in a trance
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me caling
I'm in a trance
I take too much in the Saturday night
Hey...Hey
Hey baby tell me can't you hear me calling
I'm in a trance
I wanna try to stop this life
WE'LL BURN THE SKY
Music: Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Monika Dannemann
I'm in love with the sunshine
I'm in love with the falling rain
everything seems to call your name
yesterday you were leaving
leaving life and all the pain
everything wants you back again.
I've found myself through you
and there was love in my life
I felt always naturally high and my love had a home
but now my mind has started to roam
you're my life giving fire and you carried all my love
through you I was so inspired
you're engraved deep in my heart
My dreams recall us being one
I've searched for you to be free
my force of life you have always been
I Feel blue since you've gone
your breath of love surrounded me
when can I rejoin you to be free
Wait, can this be a dream
there is a voice in my head
it belongs to you, it say's
don't cry, no need to be sad
there's a way to stay with you again
it's more than you ever had
and no death brings us apart
our timeless love always grows
because you are in my other heart
I know we've never been apart
your love sets fire to my heart
we'll burn the sky
when it's time for me to die
we'll burn the sky...
SUSPENDER LOVE
Music: Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Klaus Meine
Ah, you turn me on
I feel the biggest part of yours
Ah, ah there's something more
So much more baby
Ah, I can't be cool
It's getting stronger every day
Well, yeah, ain't choosin' you
I cut him out baby
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
I can't get enough
Too hard a body drives me mad
Oh yeah it's like a drum
To stay in love baby
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
Ah, ah, oh yeah
Ah, ha, ah, ha, ha

Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
Give me the long faced girl on the magazine
Show me the white rolls royce in the rain
IN SEARCH OF THE PEACE OF MIND
Music: Michael Schenker, Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Klaus Meine, Wolfgang Dziony, Lothar Heimberg
When I'm alone I'm feeling blue
Dreaming a dream of a world that's lovely and true
Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn
Faintly the dream of a true and wonderful world
And no one will care as long as the world will turn
And I know a place to go to find my peace of mind
And I know a place to find my peace of mind
And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try...
FLY TO THE RAINBOW
Music: Michael SchenkerLyrics: Ulrich Roth
Life is empty, can't remember anytime before,
On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore,
Gliding through this life, and another is a child,
and we're doing games, and losing things,
Always playing gigs.
Somewhere in the sky, where the moon the stars shine bright,
Where the sun is shining, in the night.
I am in disgrace, yet i see a smiling face,
and i hope you let me, share your place.
I don't live today.
Rain in the sky , make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Sun in the sky, make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Rain in the sky , make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Sun in the sky, make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Rain in the sky , make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Sun in the sky, make the world fly,
Into time, beg me your time.
Well, I lived in magic solitude
Of cloudy-looking mountains
And a lake made out of crystal raindrops ...
Roaming through Space tenthousand years ago
I've seen the giant city of Atlantis
Sinking to eternal waves of darkness ...
Somewhere in the blue distance
Are those long-forgotten trees of yore
A broken violin floating alone in December
Darkness everywhere and nothing more.
Symbol - strange Symbol - Melancholy
Painting torrid colors to a sky of green
Candle breathing one night only
Far away - in chillness - bleak - unseen ...
Drifting galley - ghostlike shadow,
Sails rigged to catch and kill the Time...
Echoes wandering down an endless meadow
To call the Thing ... Sublime !...
HE'S A WOMAN - SHE'S A MAN
Music: Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell
I saw it walking lonely down the street
cool like a cat and like a crazy dream
I'm looking twice again and can't believe
it turned around and then it looked at me
I thought "oh, no" it really couldn't be
it was a man and was a woman too
he's a woman
she's a man
I think it really came from far away
I'm feeling hypnotised, I have to stay
it takes my hand and says come on let's go
we're going home there's nothing more to say
he starts to move she starts to play
I need a body, why not you?
he's a woman
she's a man
SPEEDY'S COMING
Music: Rudolf SchenkerLyrics: Klaus Meine
You look at a poster
You look at the wall
The wall in the room where you live
Where you live with your stars
Just listen to his records
Now hear what he says
For he says, "I love you little girl
Come to see me today"
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming
You live in his heart

And I'll bring you the show little girl
Come to see me today

You live in his heart
Speedy's Coming

KOJO NO TSUKI
(The Moon over the desolate castle)
荒城の月Music: R.Taki
Lyrics: B.Tsuchii
Arranged by: "Scorpions"
Haru koro no hana no en
Meguru sakazuki kagesashite
Chiyo no matsu ga e wakeideshi
Mukashi no hikari Ima izuko
Mukashi no hikari Ima izuko
Aki jinei no schimo no iro
Nakiyuku kari no kazu misete
Uuru tsurugi ni terisoishi
Mukashi no hikari ima izuko
Ima kojo no yowa no tsuki
Kawaranu hikari ta ga tame zo
Kaki ni nokoru wa tada kazura
Matsu ni uto wa tada arashi
Tenjokage wa kawaranedo
Eiko wa utsuru yo no sugata
Utsusan toteka ima mo nao
Ah! Kojo no yowa no tsuki
Translation:
A banquet was held in the splendid castle in the season of the cherry blossom.
Where is the light now, that shadowed the glasses and flew through the old pines?
The encampment was covered with frost in the autumn.
Where is the light now, that shone on the swords like plants,
that were as numerous as the cackling wild geese, that flew ?
Now there is the moon over the desolate castle.
Whom is it shining for without change?
Only tendrils remain on the walls.
Only the storm sings between branches of the pines.
The shadow of the sky doesn't change.
But the shadow is reflecting it as before, changing for better to worse?
Ah! The moon over the desolate castle!
ROBOT MAN

It's reality, this is a robot scene what we live in.
And I say oooh, oooh

And I say oooh, oooh
