Here, I can hear a pin drop, silence is my friend 
have not found a helping hand 
and I, I can paint in gloomy colors that will stain 
but will one of them remain 

We are searching for the answers 
always take a bearing on 
we`re dancing `round the golden calf until the crack of dawn 

The limelights fade away 
on this revolting stage of our dreams 
we`re just about to leave the scene 
though we`re still in between 
on the chessboard square of life, the pawn 
so tell me where the road goes on 

I, I`ll be waiting for a long decisive turn 
when remoteness makes me yearn 
and I, I`m clutching at a straw, I`m left out in the cold 
ain`t there noone to uphold 

We are searching for the answers 
always take a bearing on 
we`re dancing `round the golden calf until the crack of dawn 

The limelights fade away 
on this revolting stage of our dreams 
we`re just about to leave the scene 
though we`re still in between 
on the chessboard square of life, the pawn 
so tell me where the road goes on 

it`s my tinge of blue 
it`s my superstition that blocks my machine 
a slip of the memory is less what we feel 
with senses so keen 
it`s striking my eye 
it is the balancing-pole in my hand 
have trust in the thin rope that`s under your feet 
and you`ll understand 

When pushed to the wall 
I will stand firm and follow my way 
cause I`m pressed for time and I keep an eye on 
before I will stay 
shrouded in darkness 
my heart is tired I`m racking my brain 
and with the crack of a whip I break out 
and break the chain 

Now, pull all the stops you can 
hold on to your masterplan 
this peal of thunder will roar 
find all the answers wherefore 
one pious wish under the moon 
only a fair wind to heave the balloon 
when all seems in vain and bygone 
then the road goes on
