Lyrics

01. (Love Is) The Answer
Out of the corner of your eyes, I see the skies
To feel the sweet touch of your lips, about to kiss
Naaaa na na na … Love is the answer
And from the depths of my mind, I realize
Towards the center of the sun, I could run
Naaaa na na na … Love is the answer
Lost in the middle of a desert, still unhurt
In that clear ocean all around, I wanna drown
Naaaa na na na … Love is the answer
Within the mighty rain forest, I’d like to rest
In the expanse of the sky, I’m gonna fly
Naaaa na na na … Love is the answer
When you’re scared (love)
You feel ashamed (love)
When all your fears (love)
Turn to tears (love)
And your heart (love)
Is torn apart (love)
When the dark steals your spark (love)
When you’re sinking (love)
When you’re falling (love)
In the tornado of your shadow (love)
From your mind (love)
Let it shine (love)
Feel its beat (love)
Feel its heat (love)
Love is the answer
Love is the answer
02. Slave to Rock 'n' Roll
I spend my whole life on the road
They bring me here, they take me there
Trashing hotel rooms just for fun
In search of excitement everywhere
Ain’t got no limit to please my crowd
Add an extra neck to my guitar
More applause can never be too loud
Extravaganza of a superstar
Standing up, laying down, never hitting the ground
I gotta keep control and always reach my goal
Coming in, running out, I can’t help fooling around
Just born to be wild, a slave to rock ‘n’ roll
Chasing a chicks car on the highway
To make them come over to the show
Bring them along to my lover
A special treat under the afterglow
Standing up, laying down, never hitting the ground
I gotta keep control and always reach my goal
Coming in, running out, I can’t help fooling around
Just born to be wild, a slave to rock ‘n’ roll … slave to rock ‘n’ roll
Someday I’d like to settle down
Or stick around just a day or two
But I’m on my way to another town
I’m only here to entertain you
Standing up, laying down, never hitting the ground
I gotta keep control and always reach my goal
Coming in, running out, I can’t help fooling around
Just born to be wild, a slave to rock ‘n’ roll
Slave to rock ‘n’ roll
03. Superstar
Born and raised inside a music club in Hollywood
Treated as a king in the entire neighborhood
Second to none of the guitar players
Arion was driving his convertible car
With the floating curly long hair of a superstar
Showing off in his rock ‘n’ roll band
Lovely Dolly hurried off to school under the storm
She was just too shy to be the queen of the prom
Oh but she knew there was still magic in the air
Ever since I was a child, you were always by my side
Even though you looked so wild and freedom was your pride
Now the years have passed me by and I’ve been listening from behind
To the music of your soul, ’cause it will always sooth my mind
One day after a successful Sicilian tour
Arion was on the boat that would take him back home
He thought he heard a strange noise at his cabin door
He didn’t notice the shadows moving in
… Too late!
… It was much too late!
Then he felt his body collapse on the floor
Suddenly there was a blackout
It all went dark
Lifeless for a long and lonely, lonely, lonely time
And when he finally woke up his body was tied
And he wondered why
He wondered why
He wondered why …
A gang of chicks were standing still, surrounding him
With fire in their eyes and smiling faces
But these sexy pirates were loaded with heavy weapons
They were closing in when they began to shout:
“WE WANT YOUR MONEY, GIVE US THE MONEY”
“WE WANT YOUR MONEY, GIVE US THE MONEY”
“WE WANT YOUR MONEY, GIVE US THE MONEY”
“WE WANT YOUR MONEY, GIVE US THE MONEY”
And when they finally found what they were looking for
They were going to throw him overboard
But Arion’s last will was to sing and play his final song
So they agreed to grant him this little reward
And for one last time
He was allowed to shine
He was allowed to shine …
Help me …
Somebody help me!
Somebody help me!
Somebody help me!
Help me …
Somebody help me!
Somebody help me!
Somebody help!
In this sea of darkness, with the horizon all around
In this ocean of lonelines, where I am soon going to drown
The wind blowing through my flooded ears, water leaking into my mouth ajar
Ripples splashing in my teary eyes, a last glimpse of endless starry skies
How long could I resist? How deep will I end up?
That mighty force from underneath, sucking me into this underworld
I feel my body sinking low, the abyss swallowing me up and dragging me down
A sudden beholding of a light glow, vision of a lifeboat passing by
She quickly grabs my hands and pulls me firmly in, and lies me safely down to rest
But all I need is to dive into the eyes that saved my skin, and hold her close against my chest
Dolly my love …
04. The After Effect
I wake up in an empty room
Where all is white and all is blurry
It feels like I just sealed my doom
Though I don’t know what I’m doing here
Another space, another time
An eerie cloud floats all around me
But when it moves I hear a sound
It must be an outer space entity
Suddenly I feel my soul connected,
As if something’s plugged deep within me
And far beyond my own perception
Inner pictures only I can see
I get a call inside my head
A secret message without the key
Somehow I’m beginning to get the sense
And the question is finally clear
How can you make up your mind and take a decision?
When you ignore the aftermath of what you envision
Stuck between your space and time, unable to escape
What is the meaning of your life, when everything must end?
Whatever you create will disappear!
I come from a planet called Earth,
We have a past, a present and a future
This past experience helps guide us,
Each day always affects the next adventure
We seek joy and happiness
We like to play games for fun and leisure
But our lives would be meaningless
If we knew what was gonna happen!
How can you make up your mind and take a decision?
When you ignore the aftermath of what you envision
Stuck between your space and time, unable to escape
What is the meaning of your life, when everything must end?
Whatever you create will die!
(There’s) Something inside my head, something inside my mind
Something under my bed, something that makes me blind
I’m losing control
(There’s) Someone inside my head, someone inside my mind
Someone under my bed, someone I feel behind
I’m losing control
We are aware that every choice we make
Always has a consequence
But that’s a risk we have to take
The unknown defines our existence
We value our ignorance
We explore our lives day by day
And that, you see, is our biggest chance
We wouldn’t have it any other way!
So you can make up your mind and take a decision
Though you ignore the aftermath of what you envision
We see the meaning of your life, though everything must end
But that’s why you are so precious, it all makes perfect sense
Your beauty lies in your fragility
05. The Game of Life
The game of life, my dear, is a funny one
‘Cause there’s too many people under the sun
But if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything
It’s just a matter of time, a matter of will
Now if you’d like to be happy, you’ve got to want it real bad
And stay away from those harmful people that make you feel sad
They’ll try and take control of you with their bad intentions
You’ll have to do what it takes and keep moving on
The game of life, my dear, is a confusing one
So listen carefully, but build your own opinions
Because you see, there’s always two sides to a story
And even when you don’t agree, you can still show empathy
The game of life is short, no time for anger or hatred
Keep in mind that indifference is your strongest weapon
If you reach deep within, your heart will know the answer
And learning to love is the one thing that really matters
Don’t stop dreaming, and don’t fear change
But don’t think anything will last forever
So learn from the past and live in the now
Enjoy the present moment and keep hope for the future
The game of life, my dear, is a scary one
Full of unsatisfied souls craving for what they don’t own
Some need a daily routine to feel safe
Some need adventure to make them feel alive
The game of life is tough so believe in yourself
You can try anything, but never become addicted
You can even grow up, but never grow into an adult
Always preserve the precious child in your heart
06. Asylum
This is my new reality, or maybe just a bad dream
Like an uncanny fantasy, sitting next to Jimmy Cream
I’m like a cuckoo looking for its nest on a pitch black stormy night
But I won’t feel safe unless I finally see the light
They had me sent to this asylum
And there’s no way out of here
And though they say it’s just for fun
I rather think it’s just for fear
Suddenly all the people gather ’round, Danny Martini had a stroke
Well I suppose he might have drowned, or was he dying for a smoke?
Meanwhile the Brown brothers are on the run
They surely ain’t going nowhere
‘Cause no one escapes the asylum, and no one really seems to care
Creeping in … Passing out … Waking up … Lying down …
Count me in … Take me out … Pull me up … Drag me down …
As I close my eyes and open my mind instead
I can watch the skies, the summer stars arise in my head
I see butterflies, while the eagle flies overhead
So will you sympathize?
Some things are better left unsaid, left unsaid
I remember when the world was round
When there was room enough for all to live in peace
But then it all started to fall apart
When the pigs got elected to lead the nation
They wanted more and they got more
And they slowly took the power from the people
Divide to conquer is now the rule
And those who try to resist strangely disappear
They’re steered to … Taken to …
They’re brought to … Driven to …
They’re flown to … Leaded to …
They’re sent to … The asylum
Creeping in … Passing out … Waking up … Lying down …
Count me in … Take me out … Pull me up … Drag me down …
Now the mob has been calmed down, the boys brought back to their room
I feel like a misunderstood clown, the unsung hero’s doom
But how Witty Billy got his gun and blew his head up with a blare?
‘Cause no one escapes the asylum, and no one really seems to care
No, no one escapes the asylum, and no one minds to care!
07. On the Road to Nowhere [bonus track]
On my way, everyday, ’til there’s no more road to run
Black sunglasses, far from the masses, owing nothing to no one
Dilly-dally, down the valley, time waits for nobody but me
Hold on tighter, getting closer, just hang on to your dreams
Driving forward, through the crossroads, like nothing really matters
Sex-appeal, behind my wheel, I’ll live fast and die hard
Radio on, nothing can go wrong, rock ‘n’ roll music all around
Spread my wings, like the bird-king, ’til I finally hit the sun
Since Hell is for heroes
I ain’t got no reason to stay
And I’m gonna follow my heart
On the road to nowhere
On my way, everyday, ’til there’s no more road to run
Black sunglasses, far from the masses, owing nothing to no one
Dilly-dally, down the valley, time waits for nobody but me
Hold on tighter, getting closer, just hang on to your dreams
08. Beautiful Night [bonus track]
Staring at your window, you gaze at the stars
Raising the light in your eyes
You’re pointing your fingers between Vega and Mars
They’re dancing around in circles
On this beautiful night
You listen to the wind and you listen to my voice
Contemplating the sky on the ceiling
Caressing her skin with your hand on my heart
Though nobody knows where we’re going
On this beautiful night
There’s magic in the night, even the Moon has eclipsed
Your smile leaves no room for sorrow
Like two tiny dancers closing in on my lips
Kissing as if there was no tomorrow
On this beautiful night
Tonight … Tonight …
Inviting me just one step further
Tonight … Tonight …
Inciting me to rise a little higher
On this beautiful night
Surrounded by beauty, I feel like I’m in luck
Relieved, you moan in my ears
You’re dazzling and you’re gorgeous when you dive into my sun
And you finally get rid of your fears
On this beautiful night
On this beautiful night
On this beautiful night
