Pink Bubbles Go Ape

There are some fellows soft and mellow
Sitting in the field and play like hell
No one knows the way it goes
But all the songs they play they sound so well

Tonight we go to see the Heavy Metal Hamsters
It must feel nice to be a Heavy Metal Hamster
Nothing sets you free like our Heavy Metal Hamsters

A 20th century Fox came by
A gold tipped cigarette high in his jaws
contracts, PDs, Nose-Bags, TV-shows
And everything with no remorse

Things are settled now for our Heavy Metal Hamsters
Fame up to your brows, oh Heavy Metal Hamster
A previously unknown lifestyle Heavy Metal Hamster

The sweet taste of success is strong
And everything inside goes wrong you see
With coloured furs, sunglasses
Tons of nuts to eat, they don't feel free

What is wrong with our Heavy Metal Hamster?
Look what they have done our Heavy Metal Hamsters
Where is the field to run for our Heavy Metal Hamsters
Some things are left undone for our Heavy Metal Hamsters

Here is all mankind so proud of their achievements
There is a stone that is warmer than you

Look how we stand in the stream of illusions
No one says a word

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move

There's no fear for anything
Anything but you

Animals dying for our vanity
Our world is a beautiful place to be free

Drinking the blood of the weak, it's so easy
No one hears them cry

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain

One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say

Prosperity, luxury, fast food is rising
It's the rainforest that dies

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain

You think I could be the one to look inside your mind
I don't think we'll have the time, so let us get in line

Another town another bed, another thing to go
By now I learned to take it cool, but I don't wanna know

My head is empty, all the stories that I've known I've told
The situation I escaped from, now it looks like gold

Anyway and anyhow we did it, it was good
But now I take the time to think 'bout ev'rything I should

'Cause after this I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you

By the time that you think 'bout it twice no spotlight makes you stay
By the time that you feel you don't know, you have to go

The plane is ready in my head, so many things to do
A few more hours till it's over I reach out for you

A kind of peace inside is growing, thinking 'bout the shows
Until the next time I'll be so much better, yes I know

Now this is it I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you

I'll go home. . .

Now there is this day, a lot of things are changing
Can't just kick it away, got to get things right
Sometimes it happens fast and nothin' seems to last
The thing that I once started isn't mine anymore
I guess now it's my turn

You've got a face like a child, got a mind like a woman
Your smile is warm and tender
I hear the people say that I should stay away
]From you and all the problems you might bring
They'll never know--you
Nobody ever knows what to do
They'll never see you cry
They'll never know why

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life, you've got to see what it means

See the little boy holding mama's hand
His eyes can see the things we've long forgotten
The world is easy now--and somehow
He's right
Until there is this day when Mickey Mouse must go away

It's your turn to break free. . .

This world is crying to be free
This world is dying can't you see
We need a turn to do it right
We need a mind-revolution
To get away from this selfishness
Stop playing blind--break free

Thunder, flash and lightning
Is working on my back
The tables in the kitchen
Are tryin' to break my neck

All the late night memories
Are learning im my shoes
My mother's old grey
Leather gloves are singing loud the blues

I can taste what's in the sun
No time to waste 'cause there is none
When i feel blue i see it shine
But still it's true i'm doin' fine

You can't see me
'cause now i'm all free
Now you know i'm through
An all that's not new

Sitting on a paperback
'cause i don't know what really crecks
I'm trying to climb my pencil
To get him high

No one tells me what to do
'cause ano one knows what i've been through
You don't know a thing
But you can learn

It's time to touch the sky
My mind is free i fly

I can taste what's in the sun
No time to waste 'cause there is none
When i feel blue i see it shine
But still it's true i'm doin' fine

You can't see me
'cause now i'm all free
Now you know i'm through
An all that's not new

I've been told in the name of something
I've got to know what it means to play the game

Too many faces around they're talking
They play their parts oh, so well but who's to blame

Back on the streets, that's where we are
Building a fortress of power, yeah! We're coming

You know better than me the rules are:
Getting better or fat in the mania

It's good to know who is who in our game
The speed is faster, it's harder to see where we are

Back on the streets. . .

Please Mister Know-how just bring me the news
I'm waiting so long for you telling me all you can tell

There's one thing about you, you're dying to prove
The master plan is yours and living with knowledge is hell

Back on the streets. . .

Some people are much too smart
They know everything before it starts

Eating wisdom with the pail
No wonder when it sticks

In your darkest hour I will sing this song for you

Cry and tell
And slander
Yell and grumble well
So loud for heaven's sake

Pink bubbles go ape!
