She is on the run she's had enough it's a lonely road but she's kinda tough she realized you gotta go on no matter what just gotta go straight until you are better off When the harlequins gather 'round it's a pretty damn parade and the heavy hearts are pumping it's a hard way to the thrown it's a waste to go back take the carcass leave the bones It's a life for... and she's bound for the hollow sea it's a life for... and she's bound to be oohoohoohoo Life on the fast lane it is blurry and soon she'll run out of gas she's so caught up now she's never turning back and her future is gonna be great For when the harlequins gather 'round it's a pretty damn parade and the heavy hearts are pumping it's a thorny way to the thrown it's a waste to go back take the carcass leave the bones It's a life for... and she's bound for the hollow sea it's a life for... and she's bound to be oohoohoohoo

You've got a strange way to deal with your pain you go down hard but you go wandering off again old love was lost and a new one, it was found just a little too early for the fox to lose his hound Where you walk you bring summer to the fall where you leave you take it all but you sure don't see it no, you can only be it You've got a strange way to speak your mind the only words you say are always caught behind rhymes you sing like a bird and I, I was building your cage you sang of freedom set off to go your way Where you walk you bring summer to the fall where you leave you take it all but you sure don't see it no, you can only be it

Her Lullaby 03:35
She's got the mind of an artist nothing is easily said she can feel just like you and me but it all stays in her head She's got the voice of a storytelling fairy princess gliding and soaring like a bird and when she does what she does best you can see every single word Sing your lullaby sing it loud across the sun sing your lullaby sing it loud for everyone She's got the mouth of a kisser can't pass her easily you could be just another pair of lips but than that's all you're gonna be When she sings her lullaby sings it loud across the sun sings her lullaby sings it loud for everyone She's got the legs of a dancer beautiful but never still as you show her to the stage you see her prominent will Son of a gun I am looking for rhymes that take me back to the times when an empty bottle meant another wine oh what a lovely time When she did sing her lullaby sang it loud across the sun sang her lullaby ... amidst the crowd but for only one

Say no more it's understood we've already said more than we should we had it all but settled for less just to become a part of this mess You wanted love but you don't know what love is you wanted peace of your mind but it's not enough to be part of this game more and more resigned Many a turn and most of them wrong it's already hard to know where we belong once you decide to not say a word I can feel it in my heart someone will get hurt You wanted love but you don't know what love is you wanted peace of your mind but it's not enough to be part of this game more and more resigned I am sorry while your heart breaks to pieces I lost a bet on my own I am sorry for the time it takes to be there will we reap what we've sown? You wanted love and I'll show you what love is in time that will ease your mind it's still not enough to be a part of this mess more and more resigned

Do you see this swirling smile I carry around just like yesterday where does it come from, you might ask and I'm sure the answer lies in my recent past Cause it's the pain it's the pain that has gone away yeah it's the pain it's the pain that's gone away But don't read to much into this song I just like to sing who knows or cares about tomorrow? it'll be another day and I will sing to you in ways that come from my heart Cause it's the pain it's the pain that has gone away yeah it's the pain it's the pain that's gone away

I used to know a kid who used to write beautiful poetry but she could not get by She likes to paint Though her fantasy is to weird for you to understand though nice she could be She takes you down and ahead you stride she shows you heaven not knowing why she knows how to love but she decides that she has had enough She knows what there is to know about the troubled mind but she can't get you to leave it behind You wanna know now what's on her mind but all she does is give you riddles you wanna know what's behind those eyes but you get caught in the middle She takes you down and ahead you stride shows you heaven not knowing why knows how to love but she decides but she has had enough

Who are you and are you trying to win till they'll come to take you in a restless man with a second-hand grin is what you gamble for and that's what you'll win I thought I knew you at least for a while but playing guilty was your pastime so I lay there and every night I felt lonesome by your side I can see your stone-cold heart it is tearing me apart lets try this from the start it won't be long until I see your stone-cold heart it is tearing me apart lets try this from the start it won't be long Now, I once heard bells on the hill but either they're broken, or they are standing still and you, you never tell release me from this spell or stab me if you will For I can see your stone-cold heart it is tearing me apart lets try this from the start it won't be long until I see your stone-cold heart it is tearing me apart lets try this from the start it won't be long For what you've done can't be undone are you having fun? I bet you do

We Get By 03:12
When the morning greets you With a soothing but disarming voice just get up, don't think about it just make use of your little toys Imagine there were no possessions like a good man once said he told us a lot with his questions but soon he was dead We get by we get by we get by till we die And when one morning your genius is gone visiting another mind you get worried, but remember my friend it was never yours, it was just borrowed for some time So no one needs to be smug about what he or she does or says I know we're often lead to believe it but no one is any better than the rest We get by we get by we get by till we die

It was a kiss on the cheek and two hands in one pocket it's a mess you can see it but you could not stop it got nothing to do with age or the will the fish out of water just cannot keep still Do you get it now? He was forgotten alone in this world now, that wasn't true, but that's how he felt he banged his head into the wall just to be heard Do you get it now? He was drowning in bottles got stuck in a sprawl his wavering steps got nowhere at all and you just watch him fall He was down at the bottom couldn't fly anymore his festering wings are tired and sore he's been like that since you walked out the door Do you get it now?

about

Nature in the City Berlin, Germany

We're Robin and Johannes. Nature in the City is all about evolution, not unlike both the natural processes of nature and cities. Our music is a rhythmic documentary of cross cultural experiences, from Boston to Berlin. It's a curious exploration of the intricacies of the very things that make us human. ... more
