Songtext zu 'Headlines' von Alphaville

We call ourselves the crown of creation
I wonder what does it mean
We're not the owners of the moon and the earth
It's like a roundabout and it goes round and round for free
We've made some gruesome inventions
Yet we're mastered by those systems
We're endangered danger, we're running out of fashion
If we don't care for responsibility, hey-hey

We're endangered danger, we're endangered danger
We're the headlines today, but all what they say is
We're endangered danger

Eric says that we're a lonely species
That's why we're playing the fools
But once we'll enter the Aquarian Age
I sometimes catch him floating in his swimming-pool, he says
If we'd tune in to our brighter sides
We'd feel like Jesus on the waters
Cause we're sailors not soldiers, so much more for this show
Than a guest-appearance in the universe, here we go

We're endangered danger, we're endangered danger
We're the headlines today, but all what they say is
We're endangered danger
Like Thunder
If I was a flag I'd have no nation
Just the colours and the wind
And if I was a church I'd have no treasure
Except the prayers and the hyms
And if I was a seagull I'd just rise up
And carry my soul across the sea
Drifting beyond the horizon
Lost by the ground to be free

If I was a life-boat I'd be waiting all my life
For another stormy day
And if I was a dolphin I'd be playing all the time
Just playing my life away
And if I was a kite I'd just be laughing
And dragging you up to the sky
Setting you down on a white cloud
While a seagull's floating by

And the silence roars like thunder
