A Fraction Of A Second

They ran through the darkness full of dreams and hopes
The streets echoed with their whispers and cries
They travelled towards the light from the holy fire of the shoddy pubs
They drank until they crashed, for the youth is so wild
 
'Cause who can stop
When the shadows start dancing
And the bodies start whirling around?
Even if it hurt, they'd only regret it
For a fraction of a second
A second
 
They did their jobs, or they'd just be fired
And never before have this many people had this bad a headache as them
How they get their money? No one knows
And it's been that way since the time of the King of Diamonds
 
'Cause who can stop
When the shadows start dancing
And the bodies start whirling around?
Even if it hurt, they'd only regret it
For a fraction of a second
A second
 
Yeah, who can stop
When the shadows start dancing
And the bodies start whirling around?
Even if it hurt, they'd only regret it
For a fraction of a second
A second, a second

Miss Moonshine

Just because I by chance came by
One night when I drove by
With fate as my driver
I met you
And when I saw you I felt as thou
I'd seen you before
 
I wonder if it was just an old yearning
Which finally broke free from its prison, a déjà vu
From a sinking ship
Perhaps I was the guy
Who you knew and loved once
In another life
 
The stars flew
Like a careless crowd through my clothes
And I got dizzy, 'cause you made me high
Little Miss Moonshine
 
You and your mouth and your eyes
Smiled so endearingly at my lies
My hocus pocus and my web of thoughts
Borte has taken1
The far too short and fleeting days
But they'll come back
 
'Cause you're mine now
And we will always meet again
Little Miss Moonshine

Joanna

Take me along to your dreamland
Where you can dream
And take me along to the noise of the world
Where you can make noise
 
Take me along to Joanna
Take me along, take me along, take me along
As long as it isn't where you just
Gotta mind your own business
 
Take me to the vast ocean
Where you can swim
And take me up in the thin air
Where you can soar
 
Take me along to Joanna
Take me along, take me along, take me along
As long as it isn't where you just
Gotta mind your own business (yeah, and then)
 
Take me along to Joanna
Take me along, take me along, take me along
As long as it isn't where you just
Gotta mind your own business
 
Take me to the green forest
Where you can grow
And take me to the rush of the city
Where you can rush
 
Take me along to Joanna
Take me along, take me along, take me along
As long as it isn't where you just
Gotta mind your own business
 
Take me along
Take me along

Østre Gasværk

We're living in a cold time
everybody freezes
but we are doing alright here
here at Østre Gasværk1
 
There are a lot of dreams
which were given up on
but I can at least still laugh
when I sit here alone, all alone in my shed
 
We're living in a cold time
everybody freezes
but we are doing alright here
here at Østre Gasværk1
 
I don't have any money
and no job
it's been like this for a long time
God knows if it'll ever, ever cease
 
But at least I have long Lone
and she plays violin
and when my nerves get to us
we'll drink a little bottle of brandy
 
We're living in a cold time
everybody freezes
but we are doing alright here
here at Østre Gasværk1
 
We're living in a cold time
everybody freezes
but we are doing alright here

Soon

It’ll be quiet soon
It’ll be over soon
Did you get to see what you wanted to?
Did you get to hear your melody?
 
Left behind and alone
The circus princess dances
Stops up on her rope
In a senseless moment
 
Soon, soon
We’ll be gone
We might see each other again
 
It’ll be quiet soon
It’ll be over soon
Did you get to see what you wanted to?
Did you get to hear your melody?
 
Soon, soon
We’ll be gone
We might see each other again
 
Soon, soon
We’ll be gone
We might see each other again
 

Nostalgia

[Verse 1]
Now she sits there again
Behind her scrap book for the 117th time
And loses herself in memories yet again
And she knows what she should let be
They are dreaming just to lament
One should live here and now
But she can not let it be
 
[Chorus 1]
Because she yearns
For that time when the days flew by
When they danced in the Dansetten*
Both Friday and Saturday, and the whole night together
 
[Verse 2]
Now she reads the letter from him
Him as she knew him once
But the writing has faded
She will never see him again
Because it's pure nostalgia
Like a little worm that gnaws
In her melancholy
 
[Chorus 2]
But she yearns
For that time when the days flew by
When they danced in Dansetten
And the disco ball that danced with them
 
[Chorus 2]
Yes, she yearns
For that time when the stars sparkled down
When they danced in Dansetten
And the whole world, it danced with them
 

Silence in the World

It becomes silent in the world, when we are gone
It becomes silent in the world, when we are gone
 
We always need to go and lay out plans,
Never can we be who we are
The soul's shooting star - always travels out
Never can we be who we are
 
No one knows why we shall leave
No one knows why we travel together
The only thing we have, it is a dream of the future
And we shall always have it all together
 
It becomes silent in the world, when we are gone
 
No one knows where the dreams come from
No one knows why we dream them
The only thing we know, it is that the time goes
And where we will be next year
 
No one knows where we came from
No one knows where we shall go
The only thing we know, it is that the time goes
And eternity takes its place
The only thing we know, it is that the time goes
And eternity takes its place
 
It becomes silent in the world, when we are gone
It becomes silent in the world, when we are
