Album: Cretu And Thiers: Belle Epoque, 1988


Mona Lisa

(Cretu - Thiers/Hirschburger)
Mona Lisa
You started ages ago
Mona Lisa
One minute after the glow

You watch continuous motion
Without a show of emotion

Mona Lisa
You know the game and the slaves
Can you see them
As they are dyin' in waves

Do you always
Count in murder and tears of pain
Has a flower
To be stained in a red rain

Mona Lisa
Can idols show me the way
Can you hear me
As ravens darken the sky

You watch the glamorous fire
It will erase the entire

Do you know me
I'm a part of the rise and fall
An' I can't smile at
My own life as a sideshow

Mona Lisa
In 86 we arrive
Mona Lisa
Just in the prime of my life

Now I see that
If I cry for the moon tonight
I'll be searchin'
Just for someone on my side

Mona Lisa
I'll never trust in a lie
Can you hear me
Time and again I will try

An' just in every location
I find the right explanation

I can try
I can try

Crazy Life

(Thiers - Thiers/Hirschburger)
The more I see
They're really justified
In havin' a good time
Everyone is just achin' to
Leave it all behind very soon

So can you tell me
Why I can't join them
In the way of their lifes
And there's a reason here to find
Cause I've been wastin' time
Wastin' the years

Crazy life
Yes they show us crazy life
They don't know what to do
They don't know what to say
Crazy life
Yes they show us crazy life
Can't have a better son
He's always on the run

The wings of money
Carry younger men
To the goal of a life
Don't you know
Where they're goin' to
If They won't sing another tune

Cause when the night is over
Back in a solitary cell
There is a reason here to find
Cause I've been wastin' time
Wastin' the years

Crazy life
Yes they show us crazy life
They don't know what to do
They don't know what to say
Crazy life
Yes they show us crazy life
Can't have a better son
He's always on the run

When Love Is The Missing Word

(Thiers - Thiers/Hirschburger)
Said I'd try to be alone
I didn't know my real inside
The sun went down,
I'm overflown by need

Can't find the time
I can't find the line
An' it brings me back to earth
I can hear what somebody's sayin'

When love is the missing word
Tell me where you go from here
When love is the second hurt tonight
Nobody can survive
When love is the missing word
Tell me where you go from here
Nobody could help me
For the time

One hurt I never knew before was
You're pushin' it too far
The second's been the feature
Of your mind

Can't find the time
I can't find the line
An' it brings me back to earth
Why is your treat to be unkind

When love is the missing word
Tell me where you go from here
When love is the second hurt tonight
Nobody can survive
When love is the missing word
Tell me where you go from here
Nobody could help me
For the time

Waterfall

(Cretu - Cretu/Thiers/Hirschburger)
Waterfall
You keep on flowin'
Waterfall
You're gonna clean it all
Waterfall
And she was cryin'
And you know what I feel inside
When she came around
She found me silent
And you have seen it
Like the times before
When she got down to my love
Has it been pretended
So you will lead me now
To another start

Waterfall
You keep on goin'
Waterfall
You're comin' from so far
Waterfall
I've paid the prizes
I won't lose you
My mother-nature-call

Waterfall
You keep on flowin'
Waterfall
You're fillin' up the tides
Waterfall
And she was cryin'
Cause when you soothe me
It makes the tides go by
So many times I laid beside you
Now I got a mind to
Make another start
Cause when I'll be achin' for love
Someone's about to find you
And I will feel for you
In another time

Waterfall
You change my feelin'
Waterfall
She's comin' back to town
Waterfall
She's reachin' to me
You're gonna try to save me
Every time I'll come around

Waterfall
Flowin' around me
Waterfall

Captain Right

(Cretu - Cretu/Thiers/Hirschburger)
When I need
A little love, little love
He'll be on my side

When I hope
To get along for a while
Only he don't mind

Hold on to my way
Mr. Know-it-all
We must have order
I'm not to hear that call

Captain Right - watch inside
May I witness
You got something to hide tonight
Captain Right - what's your life
Doin' business all the time with a smile
And when you're tellin' me
I got no choice
I'm tellin' all you leave behind
Captain Right - watch inside
Just awake from your convenient night

When I need
A little help, little help
He will understand

How could I
Come around, when I'm bound
For his wonderland

Captain Right - watch inside
May I witness
You got something to hide tonight
Captain Right - what's your life
Doin' business all the time with a smile
And when you're tellin' me
I got no choice
I'm tellin' all you leave behind
Captain Right - watch inside
May I witness
You got something to hide tonight
Captain Right - what's your life
Doin' business all the time with a smile

200 Ways To Heaven

(Thiers/Cretu - Cretu/Hirschburger)
You - you keep on dreamin'
Now - they wanna get you down

Present the formula
Cause you've been wrong so far
An' just be stronger
I know they'll ask for more
But you will close the door
For one desire

200 Ways to heaven
We are the generation
We represent the nation
200 Ways to heaven
Keep yourself in motion
The unit is your potion
An' if you will leave a trace
Red roses cover the pain
In fields of green
You can hide away
From the crime

You - you will be hidin'
Now - you're gonna try it out

I realize one thing
They're just about to sting
Not any longer
If you can feel the pain
You'll never go insane
Just keep it higher

200 Ways to heaven
We are the generation
We represent the nation
200 Ways to heaven
Keep yourself in motion
The unit is your potion
An' if you will leave a trace
Red roses cover the pain
In fields of green
You can hide away
From the crime

Don't Say You Love Me (Let Me Feel It)

(Thiers - Thiers/Hirschburger)
Livin' inside me
Livin' inside you
This range has kept me warm

You're livin' in the daylight
I'm lovin' the nightlife
And what we're looking for

I used to cry for relief
Just the way that I wanted
You've been too fine to believe
In these words today
I'll let you hear them once again

Don't say you love me
Let me feel it
Don't stop to face it
Cause we know it so well
Don't say you love me
Just reveal it
I know the places
Where no one really was to blame

I'm waitin' beside you
You're waitin' beside me
We force an open door

Tunder an' lightning
It's gonna be frightening
An' that's we're lookin' for

I was too shy
Couldn't see right in time
What you wanted
Lookin' for danger
All of your pride
Doesn't mean just a thing today
I'll let you hear it once again

Don't say you love me...

Snowin' Under My Skin

(Thiers/Cretu - Thiers/Hirschburger)
I feel it snowin' under my skin
Against my window is the blowin' the wind
I feel it snowin' under my skin
That's what it means to love

I feel it snowin' under my skin
I keep on fallin' into this dream
I rest my heart and just let you in
That's what it means to love

It's breakin' up my heart
Whenever I'm apart from you

I feel it snowin' under my skin
You keep on sayin' we can not win
When you confide in me
Two independent hearts are here
Just to begin

For I need you, I want you, love you
An' I'll give you all of my life

I feel it snowin' under my skin
But all I'm saying don't mean a thing
I feel it snowin' under my skin
That's what it means to love

You see the child inside the man
You keep my life in hands
My one and only chance
Every word becomes a kiss
Reminds me of your face
It's you I can't replace

I feel it snowin' under my skin
There will be patience over again
I feel it snowin' under my skin
That's what it means to love

I feel it snowin' under my skin
We're startin' over close to the wind
Cause there won't be an end
To the land we go
From here
