Brilliant Thieves

96 degrees the sun is burning
"ra" is smiling when the whip comes down
The caravan of stones creeps through the desert
The valley of kings is filled with sound

Hurry up come on pull boys come on never stop
Hurry up the pharao's dying

The pyramid grows higher and higher
The treasure chamber is already filled
The pharao is ill no time to waste
The architects pray before they get killed

Hurry up come on pull boys come on never stop
Hurry up the pharao's dying

Don't slow down
Tons of stones for the honour of the crown
Don't slow down
Pull that stone in the name of the crown

86 degrees in the city of rome
The pope decides he needs a new dome
So suffer boys in the name of god
And empty your pockets for his new home
For his new dome

Hurry up come on pull boys come on never stop
Hurry up the pharao's dying

Don't slow down
Tons of stones for the honour of the crown
Don't slow down
Pull that stone in the name of the crown

Far from home, but close to marseille
Is a little cute town, where we decided to stay
Everything was fine, and nothing that we missed
Where we spent all night

At the bar des boulistes

A pluspoint is, if you drive a french car
And laugh about jokes 'bout the second world war
But if you don't, mr. fernandel will clinch his fist
And knock you out

Out of the bar des boulistes
The bar des boulistes

All our problems so far away
So we drank all night and slept all day
For a beer drinking german it's hard to exist
With french wine junkies
At the bar des boulistes
At the bar des boulistes
Bar des boulistes, hey hey
Bar des boulistes

All our problems so far away...

There is this emptyness i carry around with me
Just like a hole that you will never see
I wander in the sun but it's cold inside of me
I'm a monkey in the zoo but someone cut my tree

Hey god if you are really up there and i am not alone
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home

My oversized bedroom appears so small without you
I've tried it all from pills to gin but haven't found the clue
It's like someone has locked the door so i can't get through
To where the emptyness is wiped away by you

Hey god if you are really up there and i am not alone
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home

Think i'll pack it in and buy a pick-up
Take it down to l.a.
Find a place to call my own and try to fix up
Start a brand new day

The woman i'm thinking of - she loved me all up
But i'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind
I hear her callin'

See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it stay
Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say

She got pictures on the wall
That make me look up
From her big brass bed
Now i'm running down the road trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head

The woman i'm thinking of - she loved me all up
But i'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind
I hear her callin'

See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say

Hello europe here we are, everything is easy
Let's cross the border without stop
Italian pasta mixed with fine french wine would be great
My stomach knows no state
Blond girls from sweden
And if that's garden of eden
I think that's o.k.
Turkish dope found a license of the pope
Don't think that's the only way.

Europe, europe rules!
Let's have a drink in a ship of fools
Europe, europe rules!
Let's have a drink in a ship of fools

Allright!

Belgium beer with a jägermeister-deer
That's why we here, i think "this one's not for you"
And swiss francs brought to polish banks
That's life! a hard bone to chew
I don't want no austrians be instructors
In my home i guess there's something better
Spanish guitars combined with twenty german tubas
That won't work but it really doesn't matter

Europe, europe rules!
Let's have a drink in a ship of fools...

Allright!

Hey, hey!

Europe, europe rules!
Let's have a drink in a ship of fools "cheers!"
Europe, europe rules!
Let's have a drink in a ship of fools "just watch it!"
Europe, europe rules!
Let's have a drink in a ship of fools
Europe, europe rules!
Let's have a sink in a ship of fools

"a shipper of a ship of fools, what part is that?"

Europe rules, europe rules
Europe rules, watch your fools!

Everything has two sides, very plain to see
You walk alone beside the road if you're asking me
Relations are so fragile, easy to destroy
And when the mess is done it's all over boy
Money rules and money talks, that's what it's all about
Use your head as you got one, please don't scream and shout
You've got lawyers in your background
We know they really hurt
But in the end you can be sure
They take all you get

Why do you want more than what is yours?
I guess enough is not enough!
Why do you want more than what is yours?
I guess enough is not enough!

A feature's still unknown, you can't even see
The way that leads you out of here, will bring you back to me
And when you try to sleep at night, there're numbers in your head
Paragraphs and bank accounts, you're drowning in your sweat
Hate will never help you out, where you brought yourself in
Some say you better cool your head, think about begin
To try to find the reasons from where the trouble came
Before you start to suffocate
In your shame

Why do you want more than what is yours?
I guess enough is not enough...

You know i care a lot
I gave you everything i got
The little that i have - yeah
Between the cigarettes and coke
I always find a joke
To make you smile
And sometimes when you are down
I will come around
To put your feet back on the ground - oh yeah

`cause you are in love with a clown
In love with a clown

Your mom is not my friend, she didn't like the band
But that's okay with me
And the money that i make, can't pay the china that i break
That's okay with me
And i always spill with wine,
I never come in time
I forget to wash my feet
But i give you what you need
Life is upside down

`cause you are in love with a clown
In love with a clown

I never promised you diamonds and pearls
`cause i would lose them somewhere in the town
You searched so hard for the men of your dreams
And what is what you found

The love of a clown...

And i always spill with wine,
I never come in time
I forget to wash my feet
But i give you what you need
Life is upside down

`cause you are in love with a clown

A dog with a lame leg drags itself around the tombs
Mrs. watson talks with someone who's been dead for years
A sickly smell of urine rising from her tights
Two old ladies on a park bench sitting silent already dead

What a wonderfull place to have a cup of tea
What a wonderfull place to read a book 'bout love
What a wonderfull place to sit around with me under a tree
On an afternoon in the cemetery

Millions of flies spiral around a cross before they land
In a fresh grave someone dug last night
The little chappel looks so sad even the flowers seem to cry
And all those people seem to wait for the moment they will die

What a wonderfull place to have a cup of tea
What a wonderfull place to read a book 'bout
What a wonderfull place to sit around with me under a tree
On an afternoon in the cemetery
