THE UNINVITED GUEST (Inter Nubes)
1. I come to you this very day,
won’t wait until tomorrow or maybe next may.
Without you I’m nothing, I need you as my rest
I’ve chosen you to host me now let me be possessed
“think of that: together for life ...”
(Chorus)
So tell me now the story how the visitor came here.
No invitation, no explanation intrudes into my sphere.
Who is the one who offered hospitality before?
The uninvited guest, knocks heavily on my door.
2. You’ve come to me that weary day,
pure conincidence, a simple twist of fate.
Would turn me into nothing if I could not resist,
your choice is like a hostage, I feel the judas kiss.
“don’t you think you’re messing up a life?”
Chorus

NOT GOOD ENOUGH (Inter Nubes)
1. The chemistry between us is destructive in some ways, but do I have a choice? I´m swallowing these bitter pills, I don´t know what to do, obey my inner voice.
(Chorus)
I´ve had enough, it´s not good enough what you’ve got to offer,
I´ve had enough, that´s not good enough, is that all you can offer?
2. You say you´ll cry until you will be running out of tears, you never even weep. No longer will I be the carpet for your tender soles, no, I´m not gonna creep.
Chorus

POISON SERPENT (Inter Nubes)
1. I agreed to our acquaintance, the lesser of two evils then,
a sole unfortunate conjunction ...
soon there was doubt about the plan, all was doubt about the plan.
(Chorus)
Now we’re here, facing each other, dear, you’re getting near.
I’m everything but ready as you break through the skin
and embrace me from the inside.
2. I give myself to you entirely to fight a battle is your aim,
are you my enemy or companion?
the question burns in brightest flames, it eats me up like burning flames.
(Chorus)
Now we’re here, facing each other, dear, it’s getting clear.
They say you are a friend of mine, you pay no heed to anything,
I won´t invite you one more time.
(Interlude)
(the serpent) invades your consciousness
(the serpent) throws you off balance
(the serpent) gives blindness for a present
(the serpent) deprives you of your will ...
3. A weakness caused by your presence, days free of motive passing me. But I can feel your forces leaving …
and then we set each other free / in the end I will be free.
(Chorus)
Now we’re here / facing each other, dear / an end without fear.
(it was) just a short relation, not many things stay the same,
we’ll never know if we´d have made it …

BEST FRIENDS (Inter Nubes)
1. I feel sorry when I hear your name,
I feel ashamed that I´m not the saaa-ame.
I get up when you´re down again,
I feel guilty, but am I to blaaa-ame?
(Chorus)
Am I a good friend? Guess, I am!
2. I do not mind if the tides a-change,
have no idea if times will get deraaa-aaanged.
We carry on without reason or rhyme,
no need that our lives always chiiiii-iiiiime.
Chorus
(Interlude)
I do not care if it´s a sunny day or if it´s not,
whether the inner state of heart is cold or if it´s hot.
I don´t believe in anything specifically unkind,
but in the end it makes no difference.
Chorus
3. I don´t feel sorry when I hear your name,
I´m not ashamed that I´m not the saaa-ame.
I get up and you´re still down and out,
no need at all for feeling guilty anyway, I´m here for you ...
(Chorus)
Am I a good friend? Yes, I am! Am I a good friend?

NOT FOR YOU (Inter Nubes)
1. I give you my lovin´, spend all my money, too,
but when I want my share, you tell me „it´s not for you“.
I´ll do any favour, true like a tattoo,
but when I ask for friendship, you say „it´s not for you!“
I wanna know, I wanna know ...
(Chorus)
If it’s not for me, if it’s not for free, I’ll let it be.
Can I make you see, you and I are we, will you agree, agree.
2. You brew me my poison, you make some ballyhoo,
but when I want that bottle, you say „it’s not for you“.
You sell me all good reasons, I´ll be as good as new,
but when I want the finer points, I hear „it´s not for you“.
Bridge + Chorus
(Interlude)
For more details please press 1, for fewer details please press 2,
for no details press „quit“; for any other information please call later ...

PHANTOM NOTIONS (Inter Nubes)
1. Someone’s flitting ´round that being – i don’t understand the scene,
the fragile building tends to fall, as a traffic light turns green.
2. Tiny pinpricks from the headship, seven on the Richter scale,
could it be, it’s just an echo slapped back from a distant vale.
(Chorus)
Phantom notions on their way,
where they come from – hard to say ... hard to say!
3. There’s a hunt, but who’s the hunter, hellhounds chasing at my back,
feet stuck in a sea of glue, well, guess I’ll miss the chequered flag.
Chorus

GO ON (Inter Nubes)
1. You say it hurts you to the core, it seems it won´t be like before.
You know, it´s not that easy anymore, ´cause life, life´s not neither/nor.
2. You say, it´s not a simple cough, it seems, it´s kind of getting tough,
you know, that every life is sometimes rough, ain´t this, this subject just enough?
(Chorus)
Go on, here´s for tomorrow, go on and seize the day!
So don´t get lost and keep your eyes on just the things that matter in the end,
3. You say, it´s harder than all known, it seems, the fuse is almost blown, you know, a love in chains has always grown, so trust, so trust the way you´re shown.
Chorus

UNCERTAIN FEELINGS (Inter Nubes)
1. I hear the children laughin’, can´t see my woman cry, but I know: inside ...
Ain´t it right to fake good times or rather speakin’ true,
someone walk in my shoes ...
I don´t know what to say, not anymore.
I´m not sure what to think, seems I can´t take – take – take – take
(Chorus)
This uncertain feeling keeps me awake,
tumbling and reeling ´till my mind aches.
2. We watch the children growin’, sometimes my woman sighs,
I’m fading at her side.
What will they do tomorrow, after all these tears, after all these years ...
Chorus
(Chorus II)
This uncertain feeling grabs me from the rear,
floor turns to ceiling, but I´m still here.

KISS THE CLOUDS (Inter Nubes)
1. In a moment of bliss, I rush out and run
I search for the street, which leads to the sun.
You follow my tracks expectantly
Outrunning calamity, aren’t we?
(Chorus)
Kiss the clouds, feel the rain upon your face.
Sweet relief, as we escape the emotional maze.
Kiss the clouds, a spark of joy up in the sky.
Sheer delight, raise your head, give it a cry.
2. In a moment of doubt, I plan every step
carefully spanning the gap.
Don’t follow the way religiously,
refuse authority, shouldn’t we?
Chorus

MERCIFUL BROTHERS (Inter Nubes)
1. We've been to dark and lonely places, deserted by the forces from above, I need to see some friendly faces and feel the radiation of love.
In the air a blurring bend, is it possible to mend?
2. Await to see those friendly faces, anticipate no lesser drug than love,
almost dependent on embraces, appreciate the hug from above.
In the air that certain smell, any details I can´t tell.
(Chorus)
Have mercy on me, brothers, compassionate souls.
Have mercy on me, brothers, with abandon.
3. Enjoy the power of embraces, receive the spark of living from the staff, we covered up the harmful traces, now we can ease the burden with a laugh.
In the air the scent of spring, time to test your mended wing.
Chorus

SUNSHINE AFTER RAIN (Inter Nubes)
1. There are times when things don´t fit together,
and you feel shabby like worn-out leather.
There are times of broken glass and stormy weather,
when you’re condemned to tar and feather.
Out of time, you´re kneading an unworkable dough,
puncture proof, still power failure somehow.
Take your time, unbend and raise an eyebrow,
it´s not for later, but right now.
(Chorus I)
And you´ll never be the same again, with your back against the wall.
Since there´s sunshine after rain, lucid colours to recall.
2. There´s a place where things don´t fit together,
you´re tryin´ to soar just by climbing a damn stepladder.
There´s place you ought to leave for good or better,
never go there, so turn ´round quick and take a header.
Out of place, Lazarus drinks champagne on thin ice,
beautiful hair, with minor flaws annoying like lice.
In some place you will create your life-giving spice,
not for everyone, but quite nice.
(Chorus II)
And you´ll never be the same again, with your feet back on the ground.
Since there´s sunshine after rain, find your essence safe and sound.
Chorus I + Chorus II
