"Deadly Nightshade"
(1994-1995)
Truth Hurts
Night has already fallen
When I come home
There is a fear
Plus, event in the sky
The deed has already been done
And I don't know the future
I can already see her driving by
Not knowing what to do
Doors open and close
Checking to see if I'm home yet
I expected something
But not so fast
It had to happen sometime
Better a broken heart than none
The dog cries cries cries
She's watching me
From behind her curtain
Where she hides
Now everything becomes clear to me
It never should have been
And it never will be
Because she doesn't give us a chance
We each stand on his side of the street
Truth hurts
When I open
There stands the shadow
Of nothingness with its message of no one
Truth hurts
Truth hurts
She does not assume the gauntlet
And prefers to stay in her flat
Until it gets dark outside
And she's waiting for me to leave
To show her shadow
That throws me off my feet
Even though she's on her guard now
I can feel her presence
I know she doesn't want to hurt me
Sooner or later, it happens anyway
Are we standing somewhere for each other
She doesn't want to confront
Truth hurts
When I open
There stands the shadow
Of nothingness with its message of no one
Truth hurts
Truth hurts
Will the truth yet come to light
Where is this going anyway
Will she stop
Truth hurts
When I open
There stands the shadow
Of nothingness with its message of no one
Truth hurts
Truth hurts
Caught Stealing
On beautiful afternoons
Should we work together
For several days
I stay in a hotel
In this strange land
The sun scorches bodies
On the soft beach
You see me lying there
A well-deserved rest
For the days full of work
And years of labor
I am listening to music
In a good mood
You come at me
My eyes open
And look for the voice
That penetrates my ear
But I don't understand her
It's like she's singing
You ask me something
Halt you've been caught
Caught in the act
Caught stealing
Stealing my heart
I don't know Italian
You don't speak Dutch
English is useless
For clarity
French saves the day
You invite me
Halt you've been caught
Caught in the act
Caught stealing
Stealing my heart
You promise an evening
Only in a lifetime
Full of music and dance
An end of the night
With a new chance
Full of gold and passion
Halt you've been caught
Caught in the act
Caught stealing
Stealing my heart
Halt you've been caught
Caught in the act
Caught stealing
Stealing my heart
Caught stealing
From my heart
Hostile Takeover
Hostile takeover the description
Of what I feel for you
When I see you
Hostile takeover are the words
I'm better off her
But I can't help it
Like the hostile takeover
Controlled my body and mind
Hostile takeover obsession
Hostile takeover with a lot of passion
Hostile takeover obsession
Hostile takeover with a lot of passion
Isn't it more than a desire
To what you don't give away
Or you can't get
Are you a fata morgana
Does your boyfriend also think
Of you
Thirty eleven
Times a day of you
Hostile takeover is coming
Hostile takeover obsession
Hostile takeover with a lot of passion
Hostile takeover obsession
Hostile takeover with a lot of passion
Family Affair
It's two degrees outside
And the moment is approaching
There's a party tonight
And everyone is getting ready
Packages in the trunk
And the good atmosphere in your pocket
Tradition takes care of the spot
A full glass for everyone
What will the evening offer
Will it be even more fun
I'm starting to compare
This is supposed to be a gathering
Overflowing with fun
This is more like a family affair
Than a grand celebration
That once gave the basis
To a new book
Who still pours in
Oh, the young man is doing his best
He is proud of his wife
And the package in her belly
But that is not talked about
Time to dine
The place with their children
Will be given to me
Because I'm single again
What's the meaning
Is it custom or duty
I'm starting to compare
This is supposed to be a gathering
Overflowing with fun
This seems more like a family affair
Than an occasion
From some people
Who have something in common
Who still serves
She surpasses herself
The sweat can be seen on the flesh
Then comes the time of boasting
What he has and you don't get
The whole gift thing
Reminds me of the sales
Which haven't even started yet
Where is the word of thanks
Is getting important
Is everyone satisfied
I'm starting to compare
This is supposed to be a gathering
Overflowing with fun
This seems more like a family affair
Than an occasion
A famous figure from a fairy tale
To be or to play
Can we go now
Deadly Nightshade
Deadly nightshade deadly nightshade deadly nightshade
The rest time is over
You go for it
Where were you as long as
My life was going well
But now I'm really scared
Deadly nightshade you are a deadly nightshade to me
Deadly nightshade when you resurface
Deadly nightshade I don't want you to stop
Now stop worrying in my head
Months of calm before the storm
Bring the little devil out of the box
A surprise
Brings you pleasure
I am desperate
Deadly nightshade you are a deadly nightshade to me
Deadly nightshade when you resurface
Deadly nightshade I don't want you to stop
Now stop worrying in my head
Deadly nightshade you are a deadly nightshade to me
Deadly nightshade when you resurface
Deadly nightshade I don't want you to stop
Now stop worrying in my head
Looking for a solution
Do you hope for improvement
I don't find the solution
When I dig into our grief
Deadly nightshade deadly nightshade
Deadly nightshade I don't want you to stop
Stop worrying now
Deadly nightshade you are a deadly nightshade to me
Deadly nightshade when you resurface
Deadly nightshade I don't want you to stop
But still, you stop
Deadly nightshade deadly nightshade
Come To A Climax
The man in the mirror
Looks familiar
That look in his eyes
Seems so confident
He stares at me
How far will you go
He is at a crossroads
With someone in the distance
Four horsemen arrive
The Apocalypse on horseback
But that look in his eyes
He won't let them go
Come to a climax
It's been enough
Don't let yourself be a victim
It dawns on you
He stands up and fights
The truth in the past
Is nothing more than a lie
Trust is carved
From pieces of melting ice
That look in his eyes
Tell that to someone else
Come to a climax
It's been enough
Don't let yourself be a victim
It dawns on you
He stands up and fights
The man in the mirror
He also makes mistakes
In his world behind glass
So identical
And opposite
With that look in his eye
Come to a climax
It's been enough
Don't let yourself be a victim
It dawns on you
He stands up and fights
Parody
This is the story
Of death and life
I give myself to you
Until the times
You are so beautiful
This is the story
Of life and life
I care about you
Till death
And even further
But they view me
As a parody
But they view me
As a parody
This is the story
About happiness and life
I give my soul for you
To the vultures
Above us
This is the story
Of miracles
I give time with you
For no money
To another
But they view me
As a parody
But they view me
As a parody
Last Battle
I walked in the wrong direction
To try to stay out
Of your life
While you want in mine
I didn't understand that for a moment
Together with you is worth more than the
Eternity
Nobody gave me that wisdom
Know I'm sorry
I fought
The last battle
To myself
Against the doubt
We won't run
From the troubles yet to come
I want to see
Where you will take me
Know I'm sorry
I fought
The last battle
To myself
Against the doubt
I hope you understand
That I'm sorry
The last battle
Has been fought
And you are the prize
Your attention is a gift
Your body a trophy
Your smile is a reward
Your presence is a present
Know I'm sorry
I fought
The last battle
To myself
Against the doubt
I hope you understand
That I'm sorry
The last battle
Has been fought
And you are the prize
Have A Sale
Let's have a sale
Be brutally honest
When you stand in front of me
Let's have a sale
I wish to love you
Somewhere deep inside
I think day and night
Time waits for no one
But love waits
In eternity
For endless
Always
Balance
Of dark and light
That's how we are
When day and night
Collide
But never once can
Be together
My queen of the night
Let's have a sale
Let's have a sale
Be brutally honest
When you stand in front of me
Let's have a sale
I wish to love you
Somewhere deep inside
In eternity
For endless
Always
Balance
Of dark and light
That's how we are
When day and night
Collide
But never once can
Be together
My queen of the night
Brotherly Hatred
A man has reached the general public
However, it is too late for him
He's not the one who gets the fame
Somewhere in a ditch along a street
It'll be in all the newspapers tomorrow
Is it an act of fear or hatred
Those pictures deliver from all sides
Somewhere in a ditch along a street
He's a victim
Of brotherly hatred
Like a soldier for his country
Like a nigger in the jungle
Just like a student in the square
Like a human to the subway
Everyone talks about this man
Even though he was not a diplomat
Everyone now knows him from
Somewhere in a ditch along a street
All he did was his job
Which stands for everyone's health
They say goodbye to him in a church
Somewhere on a ditch along a street
He's a victim
Of brotherly hatred
Like a soldier for his country
Like a nigger in the jungle
Just like a student in the square
Like a human to the subway
Boogeyman
Happiness
Is still dripping from the ceiling
Salvation
Is unpredictable
Is unimaginable
Eyes shine
Mouths spout
To the little child
The boogeyman lurks
Nine months waiting
For a redemption
Was worth the wait twice
At this beautiful moment
They are happy
Do you ever feel alone or tired
Well then come
To me
The boogeyman lurks
The boogeyman
Can do nothing
Break Up
Our hearts pull
Together like magnets
But there is nothing more
You are not who you want to be
You don't do what you want to do
You quit smoking
For my health
You quit your studies
To be with me
But sooner or later
This takes its toll
And then I won't be there anymore
I can't take it anymore
Don't play any other
Be yourself
We are only together
To not be alone
I can't go on like this
If we were ever really together
I want to break up
And you talk about me
Like a brave prince
On the white horse
The hero of the story
Who comes to set you free
But I also make mistakes
Even if you don't see them
The salvation sought
You will not find with me
But sooner or later
This takes its toll
And then I won't be there anymore
I can't take it anymore
Don't play any other
Be yourself
We are only together
To not be alone
I can't go on like this
If we were ever really together
I want to break up
Somewhere in the future
I don't want to wake up
When it's too late
To make up for time
To make dreams come true
I wish to see things
Experiencing a life
Your life is led
You let yourself be guided
But sooner or later
This takes its toll
And then I won't be there anymore
I can't take it anymore
Don't play any other
Be yourself
We are only together
To not be alone
I can't go on like this
If we were ever really together
I want to break up
Route 666
Turn off Route 666
Better late than never
Turn off Route 666
It's getting better than ever
Forget giving up
Of blindness
Turn off Route 666
Not just angels
Watch over me
Ignorance
Is not bliss yet
Riding on the road to Hades
Covered with intentions
Riding on the road to Hades
Turn off Route 666
Isn't easy
They're trying to keep me here
A road that never
Reaches its destination
But you easily
So traveled
Turn off Route 666
A road full of cracks
Turn off Route 666
Deep cracks
In the good intentions
Riding on the road to Hades
Covered with intentions
Riding on the road to Hades
Floored with good intentions
Day Of The Dead
Some living
Are deader than dead
On this Monday
Day of the Dead is obscene
Some dead
Underground
Are livelier
Than the living
The Day of the Dead is obscene
The Day of the Dead is obscene
The Day of the Dead
Daily
Daily
The core of their lives
Is here
They compete for money
And power
The worst news between seven
And eight
Is livelier
Than living
The Day of the Dead is obscene
The Day of the Dead is obscene
The Day of the Dead
Daily
Daily
Faces without expression
Hide no warm heart
And the
Faces without expression
Have no satisfaction
The Day of the Dead is obscene
The Day of the Dead is obscene
The Day of the Dead
Daily
Daily
On The Way
On the way to the sun
On the way to the sun
How young we were then
How small we were then
Where we walked a road
That no one dared to travel
We were real heroes
We were in the fields
Where we understood everything
And incomprehensible to them
On the way to the sun
On the way to the sun
On the road to the sun
When do you know what's bad
When do you know what's good
You seem to forget
If I gesture to you
Now you have grown up
Now you've gone blind
But with time
My feelings for her did not disappear
On the way to the sun
On the way to the sun
On the road to the sun
An increased pulse rate
An accelerated heartbeat
But it was suppressed
My love for you is true
On the way to the sun
On the road without you
On the way to the sun
On the road with the cold
Without you on the way
Weird Whimper
Has that smile gone forever?
Was there ever a time
Where our love was so great
So that it still burns within us
Part of the truth
Is not yet truth
Because it feels so strange
Weird whimper
It's strange howling
Weird whimper
It's strange howling
Weird whimper
But it continues to whine
Is it true that you think
I'm a walking mystery
Why were you an innocent playing child
Why didn't you see what we did
Why didn't you see it
When I asked you
Don't do it because it feels so strange
Weird whimper
It's strange howling
Weird whimper
It's strange howling
Weird whimper
But it continues to whine
Because now you know what I know
Is everything over now
But I don't feel alone
The singer sings his song
About a meeting
A memory emerges
And invisible you stand next to me
Because it feels so strange
Weird whimper
It's strange howling
Weird whimper
It's strange howling
Weird whimper
But it continues to whine
J' Accuse
J' accuse myself
For making too high demands
In romanticism
This is difficult to prove
With just music
J' accuse the love
For going beyond the infatuation
The stabbing pain
That stays behind for a long time
Even if it's so small
You're accused
For not wanting to start looking
To the romance
You allow yourself to be loved by lust
And gets sick of it
Everything Is Allowed
We are obliged
To choose them
Provide them with our money
To take even more
Justice
Where is this going
So much is happening
And nobody sees it
Not only gray clouds
Give a dark sky
Inviolability
Where is this going
The air around us
Is gray and hoar
Dense dark clouds
Of the bureaucracy
And the greed
Where is this going
Our society
Chokes the sweet air
Of freedom
And the beautiful promise
Of democracy
Where is this going
Everything is allowed
In war and love
Mr. Baetens Goes To Falkau
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau for a whole week
And leaves everything behind
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau for a whole week
The mind softens
With peace
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau for a whole week
You were my number 1
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau for a whole week
A new day is coming
With peace
With a strange situation
A reason of ego
A debt of honor
Hot and cold Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau
White and black
Are the colors of his heart
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau on vacation
It's over again
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau on vacation
Everything came back
There in peace
With a strange situation
A reason of ego
A debt of honor
Hot and cold Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau
White and black
Are the colors of his heart
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau, and all is well
Bought on credit
Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau, and all is well
Though I won't forget her
With peace
With a strange situation
A reason of ego
A debt of honor
Hot and cold Mr. Baetens goes to Falkau
White and black
Are the colors of his heart
Tyrants
Are they the discovery of the century
Are they the deception of the century
Do they want to scare us?
Or open our eyes
Are they friends or tyrants
In the middle of a room
Stands a table
On it lies the creature
And the head is bald
Are they the discovery of the century
Are they the deception of the century
Do they want to scare us?
Or open our eyes
Are they friends or tyrants
She has small arms
Six fingers on each hand
Six toes on each foot
At the bottom of those short legs
Are they the discovery of the century
Are they the deception of the century
Do they want to scare us?
Or open our eyes
Are they friends or tyrants
Behind The Eighth Ball
Can I ever love someone again
Can I ever care about someone again
Will she always keep my love
Will someone make me float again
Is there anyone who can answer
After this umpteenth failed attempt
Another bad shot
That causes the balls to roll wrong
Are you behind the eighth ball
Can I ever love anyone again
Can she just walk over my heart
Will I overcome my pain
Will someone get engaged to me
Is there anyone who can answer
After this umpteenth failed attempt
Another bad shot
That causes the balls to roll wrong
Are you behind the eighth ball
Can I still commit to someone
Can I win someone's heart
Will I find my feeling again?
Will someone age with me
Is there anyone who can answer
After this umpteenth failed attempt
Another bad shot
That causes the balls to roll wrong
Are you behind the eighth ball
The hammer strikes
My deadly nightshade stands there
Her actions make me tired
And I see her everywhere
Is there anyone who can answer
After this umpteenth failed attempt
Another bad shot
That causes the balls to roll wrong
Are you behind the eighth ball
Blood From A Stone
You knew all about sorrow
Or how my soul would break
My world isn't going
Up or down with you
Is it blood from a stone
That you wish to see
Or human life
Society is amazed
When he met his end on the street
If a car felled him
And blood flows from his mouth
Is it blood from a stone
That flows over the ground
From a stone
Blood from a stone
Don't go anywhere
Blood from a stone
And if something happens
And blood stains the asphalt
Blood from a stone
The old heart of stone
Then perished
Does everyone in a city of stone
Wears a heart of stone
Has everyone you seem to know
A stone heart in the body
Is it blood from a stone
That flows over the ground
From a stone
Blood from a stone
Don't go anywhere
Blood from a stone
And if something happens
And blood stains the asphalt
Blood from a stone
The old heart of stone
Then perished
From a stone
Blood from a stone
Don't go anywhere
Blood from a stone
And if something happens
And blood stains the asphalt
Blood from a stone
The old heart of stone
Then perished
And it's time to sink
And it's time to sink
And it's time to sink
Or to swim
Venom
For the venom
I don't use
Aspirin
In the adrenalin
I use for
The venom
A sense of excitement
And exhilaration
Isn't love poison in our blood?
That slowly takes over everything
We don't know what it does
We are civilized people
Can't we talk
I want to always remember you that way
So beautiful
Your eyes your hair your armor
For the venom
I don't use
Aspirin
In the adrenalin
I use for
The venom
A sense of excitement
And exhilaration
Whatever I try to do
The venom in my stomach
Eats and gnaws away everything inside
I like you so much
There is no remedy yet
That purifies the body
When the body so suddenly
Shudders with love
For the venom
I don't use
Aspirin
In the adrenalin
I use for
The venom
A sense of excitement
And exhilaration
For the venom
I don't use
Aspirin
In the adrenalin
I use for
The venom
A sense of excitement
And exhilaration
