ZEEBEE CASE
the sky was blue
my mum so told me
the temperature was rising
on the day i was arriving
mmm
i was born
as a zeebee
under the sign
of exupéry
this is my faith
and always will be
so believe in signs
and you will be
mmm

i was born

PRIORITY
these are my priorities
be good to myself
stop eating when i am full
peace and harmony
meeting interesting people
the time with myself
is no luxury
it gives me the essential beat
these are my priorities
a simple life is all i need
these are my priorities
breathing fresh air
be part of the landscape
preserving the beauty
for times when i am angry
accepting the other
and listen to what i need
it gives me the essential beat
these are my priorities
a simple life is all i need
be good to yourself
stop eating when you're full
preserve the beauty
for times when you are angry
the time with yourself
is no luxury
these are my priorities
a simple life is all i need

SWEETNESS
completness
i do always regret
sweetness
is not part of me yet
all of the strangers
oh how they stop and stare
as i navigate
through the seasons
with my fingers collecting
false reasons
completness
you should always neglect
sweetness
just don't care -
cause i bet
that you have never thought
of how they stop and stare
as i navigate
through the seasons of love
but you're gone
you are gone
and i did this suffering
for completness
all the wrong reasons
sweetness is gone

JOY OF MINE
a-tisket, a-tasket
a brown and yellow basket
i sent a letter to my mommy
on the way I dropped it
i dropped it, i dropped it
yes on the way i dropped it
a little girlie picked it up
and put it in her pocket
she was truckin' on down the avenue
not a single thing to do
she went peck, peck, peckin' all around
when she spied it on the ground
she took it, she took it,
my little yellow basket
and if she doesn't bring it back
i think that i will die
oh dear, i wonder where my basket can be?
(so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
oh gee, i wish that little girl i could see
(so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
oh why was i so careless with that basket of mine
that itty-bitty basket was the joy of mine
a-tisket, a-tasket,
i lost my yellow basket
won't someone help me find my basket
and make me happy again
again - oh dear - oh gee
oh why was i so
careless with that basket of mine
careless with that basket of mine
careless with that basket of mine
that itty-bitty basket was the joy of mine

SUNDAY MORNING
due the dawning
i catch my senses
due the dawning
of that spezial morning
all my senses
have wakened me up
it was a sunday morning
due the dawning
all my senses coordinated
wont you start to please
an endless night
so secure
inbetween two sunsets
but even if i try
i won't be friends
it was a sunday morning
due the dawning
all my senses coordinated
won't you start to please
and as i rub my nipples
and as i suck your fingers
i might aswell just lick them
but most of all
i like you
due the dawning
i catch all my senses
due the dawning
i catch all my senses
it was a sunday morning
due the dawning
all my senses
coordinated
won't you please
start to please
an endless night
so secure
inbetween two sunsets
but even if i try
i won't be friends

CARDS + SIGNS
un
uneven
some
somnolent
i - i wish i could meet
one day - in between
cause
something
serious is
hunting me
all
all of me
excitable me
and i dreamed
of places to be
and i loved
to take lots of risk
lay the numbers out
and step aside
beat the clock
to make it worth
the time it takes
to say that first
so show me your cards
and show me your signs
open house
filled diamond mines
show me cards
show me signs
show me hearts
draw me lines
roll
roll your bones
unworthable
but roll your bones
show me cards
and draw me signs
i wish i could meet
one day - in between
cause something serious is
hunting me

SUNNY FRIEND
i am sitting by the window
watching the rain
i am dreaming about him
it is giving me so much pain
he is all i want
and he is all i've got
situation too difficult
to tell him how i love
my sunny friend
he is sitting in australia
waiting for my turn
he is desperately loving me
so he tells me on the phone
oh sometimes i am excusing him
cause everything he does
is just sit there waiting
for me to be around
my sunny friend
i wished we could meet in los angeles
meeting at the airport
and touching our hair
so sometimes i am fantasiazing
when rain is poring down
and then i am just discovering
he's my - my sunny friend
my sunny friend
my sunny friend
my sunny friend
he is sitting in australia
waiting for my come
i try and explain to him
why this can't be done
so sometimes he is depressed
even crying so
but baby please believe me
i do love you so
my sunny friend

FEVER
never knew
how much i love you
never knew
how much i care
when you put your arms around me
i get a fever
that's so hard to bare
you give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
so i
chose the weird style
and you
chose the wicked games
sunlight sets the daytime
and moonlight sets the night
i lighten up
when you call me
and you know
i'm gonna treat you right

FREE NOW
shame on you
that you can't see
don't be so arrogant
there is no time
for you to waste
remember me
when i was only little
standing infront of you
and you being oh so bitter
about your life
about your sorrow
about your horror
passing it on to me
standing infront of me
and losing control
again and again
it really made me smile
and you beat me up again
but it really made me smile
cause i could feel my strength
and if you don't open up your eyes
you'll lose everything
constantly repeating
your horrorthing
but i am free now
it really made me smile
and you beat me up again
but it really made me smile
cause i could feel my strength
and if you don't open up your eyes
you lose everything
constantly repeating
your horror-thing

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
i guess i am through now
all strategies have failed
i close my door now
it's difficult to explain
the way i feel right now
it seems i just can't get through
the way i feel right now
it seems i just can't get through
i guess i am through now
sometimes that caring word
from a priest
just isn't enough
when you're having a rough time
i guess i am through now
all strategies have failed
i close my door now
it's difficult to explain
sometimes that caring word
from a friend
just isn't enough
when you're having a rough time
i guess i am through now
all strategies have failed
