musically and especially guitar-wise quite good but a bit too whiny for my tastes nowadys.
a cry for help.
i don't like my singing here. and the lyrics are a bit a cliché. but hey, remember we had a junkie-explosion here in zurich and, besides being a bit drawn to these people, we were gravely exposed to the reality of the needle on our way to school.


Hauptbahnhof Zürich, 17:30 Uhr, keine Menschen sichtbar.

At the Station (state of mind)

sitting at the station - waiting for the train
time passes slowly - i am playing mind games

hectical people passing - strange people passing
women with crying children
they all move along in a steady pace

some lonesome hobo is playing the guitar
hoping for some coins to fall in his hat
and the crowd is moving slowly by
while just another junkie 'round the corner gets high
gets high - oh, he's trying to get high again

thinkin' 'bout the changes that life brings
or is it just all the same?
who does the right thing?
who's got the right to live?
why am i waiting for this train?

my head feels heavy and my thoughts fly around
i just get weary with all that light and sound
and all those crazy thoughts and silly questions
all those crazy thoughts and silly questions

my head feels heavy and my sight grows dim
i just get weary with all that noise i'm in
and all those crazy thoughts and silly questions
all those stupid facts and unfindable answers

waiting at the station - looking at the trains
time passes slowly - i am playing mind games

thinkin' 'bout god and man
thinkin' 'bout the world as one
i am thinking 'bout the good old times
thinkin' 'bout the times that'll come
thinkin' 'bout the times that will come
welcome...

thinkin' 'bout dreams - thinkin' 'bout music
i'm thinkin' 'bout my life - thinkin' 'bout the role i act
thinkin' 'bout putting an end to it all

thinkin' all those crazy thoughts - my heart cries
but finally i put it all away 'cause my train arrives...
