Believe it or not, I hear the clock ticking And it says it's time to move, it's time to shake It's time for you to groove this place And I return, why would I trust in you You haven't seen the world And anyway, you just hang around And remind me that I'm late I'm just a clock, I do tic and toc It's all in your head Okay, I think I understand I read the signs, I'm gonna spit these lines I lace up my shoes to kick some ass Tell me ladies what you came for Exquisite Instant Let them know who makes you move on the dancefloor Exquisite Instant Who is on your mind when you think about the special kind Exquisite Instant Who let's you forget about space and time Exquisite Instant Tell me ladies what you stay for Exquisite Instant We offer new dimensions to explore Exquisite Instant Just free your mind and pay attention to Exquisite Instant Now the tension is gone, you've waited so long Exquisite Instant
2.
Come on over, I just heard you sing Can't believe that you just came and said Please play a little longer for me I would listen to your story all night long Cover me in peace and pray for me Be my sunny part in life and stay You're my children's mother I see us in my dreams fly far You can take me everywhere I follow you Don't cry, baby, if we don't see us for a while Former times always seem to shine bright But there are many things people tend to hide They romanticise We can feel, we can feel so free Cause we never try to seek for perfection
3.
Clues don't show what it's like Please don't go, passing by without a smile Maybe another day we gonna say Good we didn't know before Being a part f it usually means being apart from something else Being the start of it usually means being something else's end Common sense dressed up in calendar phases Paralysed in thinking because of cages out of thousands of pages Clueless wondering around Seems to be the smoothness Necessary not to be attracted to bullshit It is what it is, is no simplification It is what it is, no need for complification Do we know where we go Tell me how it goes or how it should go Don't be afraid to think about it It usually doesn't hurt until reality catches up with you

Love Thing 07:04
Pretty, it was fresh, it was new I thought it might be us But when you came back with a different view I realized, pretty, that this game for two we gonna lose You better bring me the news Pretty, why did you do this thing to me It came over me so suddenly Pretty, I miss you so, I miss your soul My feelings are running out of control Sometimes I feel like there's nobody Sometimes I feel like it's all funny Sometimes I feel it all It's raining on us like a new fall Be the guide by my side We can fly anytime We got a love thing Lovely lady, take me to an island Which I never knew and be my guide And you fill up my silence With bright sunshine That sounds like music I love it, please just loop it You and I got the same tune We both are rolled up on the same tape With you I feel the safetiness Cause you clear up my shadiness

Green screen in a stretch limousine Are you awake, is it a dream Put on your white gloves, set up the light shows It is time for the space funk psychos You cannot explain how you got insane How many thoughts can a brain contain To liberate your mind take the next flight Destination is fresh creation Super power modulation Space designer infiltration Cosmic cookie exploration Strawberry cheesecake degustation Highspeed glitter bubble nation Indefinite limitation Quintessential navigation Purple future simulation Ooh, always push it to the limit Just take the moon's orbit and spin it Gamble with the gods and lose your senses As you expected light waves are endless Gravitation seems to be the friendship But be aware black holes are pretentious Avoid the milky way and keep your eyes closed
6.
Doctor Intimity searching for a patient Checking out the liberty of sexual creation Smooth is the way I move And I don't need to prove it One view in the mirror for my mental preparation And I've got the groove The dancefloor is my surgery Sex appeal your diagnosis A love injection is the therapy Baby, I tell you what the number of my phone is My treatment is one of a kind But expect no kind Saturday night you don't need no explanation What we've gotta do The harmony makes me anticipate That it's gonna be real what we create We are going to be smooth, relaxed in extasy Let me fulfill your fantasy I better be a lover for this night Cause we don't see each other in this live again You better be my lover for this night Cause we might see each other in this life again
7.
You don't know what is going on Maybe I'm right but maybe I'm wrong Sometimes in a lifetime you can feel all alone So you have to rely on Somebody, something I don't really know Tell you there is one thing that is good for sure It comes from the heart and stimulates the soul A natural beauty available for all There is no need to compromise It fits every life and any kind I am so pleased to show it to you You can try it and you discover The loveliest tune as your comfort Sweet as the sweetest fruit Pretty like the blossoms that bloom It doesn't matter, moody temper Rage and anger, soft and tender There is still a melody that you remember It brings you up and keeps you down When you feel that you're alone Listen to your favorite tone Never thought of something that can be so pure Now you know there's one thing that is good for sure It comes from the heart and stimulates the soul A natural beauty available for all

I know I let you several times in the dark But you could look at the ground of my heart You went beyond my doubts and faults Our vision and hopes made you holdin on And now I can't spend my nights alone And it doesn't matter if it's raining or the sun is shining Cause we belong together I don't miss the thrills of starting something new I wouldn't like to ask mesdames for rendezvous But I would miss your touch that wakes me up before you leave And I still love to tenderly bite your cheek As we are growing we keep on holding Onto the motion that holds us together As we are growing we keep composing Our lives and emotions that float like a feather It feels so different than I expected I drive a boat on your lake that is filled with satisfaction I dive so deep in your waters That I think I never ever need to breath again
