This love is a monster (Lyrics & Music: Mimi Schell) V1 This love is a monster Growing teeth while I am sound asleep It wakes me with terrifying drool V2 This love is a ticking bomb Its diffidence Sets fire to the fuse I’m the truck with the barrels of fuel Br1 We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die Drizzling ashes from the sky Let me go. Let me go aflame I would do it again V3 This love is a racketeer, Mama Pasta Close the blinds and doors (Excuse me) You better lock up On the second floor CH Demons I dare you This love’s gonna scare you Don’t bother two lovers No ones gonna stop us Let’s make it a scandal This town’s gonna tremble Don’t bother two lovers This love’s gonna blast you away V4 This love is immune to prosecution It won’t leave any clues It’s is free From your rules Demons I dare you This love’s gonna scare you Let’s make it a scandal This town’s gonna tremble Don’t bother two lovers This love’s gonna blast you away

Drawn To Your Light 03:26

Drawn to your light (lyrics: Mimi Schell music: Mimi Schell, Ulrich Rode) V1 Summer’s just begun Sweetness on the tips of every tongue Energizing warmth to every soul and body Life’s stretching out towards The place where we belong Bursting like buds towards the sun V2 I wonder how you are Sleepless like me under the stars Pondering at night next to the open window Bathing in the beaming shine Baby—I am fine I’ll meet you on the edge of time Br Ohohoho ohoho oho I'm drawn to your light Ohohoho ohoho oho CH Some people falter Afraid to alter Waiting for a moment in time You’ve made me see what I couldn’t believe I’m instinctively drawn to your light V3 So many miles apart And oddly your presence still rewards It echoes in the wider scheme of bigger purpose Br Ohohoho ohoho oho I'm drawn to your light Ohohoho ohoho oho Some people falter CH Some people falter Afraid to alter Waiting for one moment in time You’ve made me see what I couldn’t believe I’m instinctively drawn to your light

Passing The Monuments 03:18

Passing The Monuments ( Lyrics & Music: Mimi Schell) V1 Three tiny dots in the mind’s bubble text Typographed silence that speaks for itself Searching the sources of our core beliefs And the way we’re affected by learned doctrines It takes time. V2 Three golden stars at the station’s door Where the earth spit our Fast lane train out for more essential questions You’re holding the key First stop ain’t the fitting lock neccessarily It might take time. CH We keep pushing forward The wind in our faces The rails keep arranging in place Oho- traces we wish we could leave Passing the monuments V3 Our future is blending with our history An intimate challenge, self- invetory Our powerful voices, to whom are they kind? The best we are giving, to whom is it right? It’s break time. CH The rails start to tangle Like running-shoe laces We stumble at full speed ahead There are still compromises to make Passing the monuments

Dive (Lyrics: Mimi Schell Music: Mimi Schell, Ken Stringfellow) V1 Heed the call rewind the waters Tuck in the rushing wet Leave our shoes tied to the branches Down by the riverbed Br In the wake of fortune, darling Let’s share some oxygen CH Right- a perfect starry scene to share a dive And from our mouths the words like butterflies The same searching our matches To give our paperwings attachment V2 Tell me your exiting stories And how it all began The transformation Revelation And what happened next Br2 Like a staggered kid I love the part saying- You’ve never made a plan CH Right- a perfect starry scene to share a dive And from our mouths the words like butterflies The same searching our matches To give our paperwings attachment V3 The meteoric twines of starshine Drops on the water plane The constellation Navigation Along the current lane Br You’re fearless darling- I heard you sayin So now we need some faith CH Hey! I’m playful still, don’t make me lose your sight It’s joyful here, don’t make me feel afraid I glance over my shoulder Are you still there my four leaf clover? CH Right- a perfect starry scene to share a dive And from our mouths the words like butterflies The unforeseen will skip reality for a while

Do It With Love (Lyrics: Mimi Schell Music: Mimi Schell, Lutz Krajenski) V1 When you perceive When you explore When you take course When you rise up When you achieve When you pass on Remember to do it with love When you accept When you reply When you point out When you define When you reach out When you desire Give it your love CH1 We’re all straining in the water Pulling even stronger for company We’re all heading for the wide blue yonder It’s them, it’s us, it’s you and me V2 When you reach out When you take hold When you speak up When you shine on When you look back When you expect Do it with love Love’s all we got Why’d you despair Why’d you give up Why’d you deny Why’d you ask why And if you do Remember to Remember love And it will do CH2 We’re all straining in the water Pulling even stronger for company We’re all heading for the wide blue yonder It’s them, it’s us, it’s you and me It’s them, it’s us, it’s you and me Mid8 Love’s a dandelion seed It carries across all boundaries Give it on, give to yourself Gotta do it now V3 Work a little harder Let’s try and listen better Before we speak And be a little smarter Keep our word and share a beat CH We’re all straining in the water Pulling even stronger for company We’re all heading for the wide blue yonder It’s them, it’s us, it’s you and me We’re all straining in the water Pulling even stronger for company We’re all heading for the wide blue yonder It’s them, it’s us, it’s you and me It’s them, it’s us, it’s you and me It’s them, it’s us, it’s you and me

Why So Afraid (Lyrics: Mimi Schell Music: Mimi Schell, Ulrich Rode) V1 You and your giraffe lashes Flutter like fond caresses Catchpenny promises Never to be made good Br Boys and their angel faces So crazy about their chases Aahoo V2 What’s it about speed racing While missing every station Is it too painful to slow down And stop for a moment? CH Gotta learn to be patient In wide open space Gotta learn to be playful It’ll turn out your way How are you lately Haven’t you said you’re okay Why so afraid V3 Some folks might say you’ve lost it I think you kinda rock it You climbed the highest trails Why so scared of a woman? CH Gotta learn to be patient In wide open space Gotta learn to be playful It’ll turn out your way How are you lately Haven’t you said you’re okay Why so afraid Mid8 Aaaaaaahhhhhaaaaaaa find your place Aaaaaaaaahhhhhaaaaa in a wide open space Aaaaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa now that you have been this brave Why so afraid CH Gotta learn to be patient In wide open space Gotta learn to be playful It’ll turn out your way How are you lately Haven’t you said you’re okay Why so afraid

Shiny Boxes (Lyrics: Mimi Schell Music: Mimi Schell, Ulrich Rode) V1 My words for you come with shiny boxes Wrapped up and tied up with satin ribbons But my careful touch Lately don’t translate V2 There is a battle inside you I know I’ve juggled your troubled weights as if they were feathers Look, I’m trying hard But never good enough Br 1 Why don’t you come here These moments of fear Are initial phases CH 1 Aren’t we free Travelling experience realms Our river of dreams Is near If we knew what’s to come The best would remain undone V3 Like sleeping beauties we’ve basked quite safely Floating among wreckage and the package we trawl We’ve been slumbering Burning in the sun V4 Our love’s the tale that we both created And now that we’ve made our wish We get chilled to the bone Have we unlearned to trust Or why... running scared? BR 2 Aren’t we pilgrims Still curious children and Isn’t what we’re seeking Just here CH 2 Aren’t we free Travelling experience realms Aren’t we free Travelling experience realms Our river of dreams Is near If we knew what’s to come The best would remain undone Take my hand, come with me Our river flows on

All the children in the world should be Loving each other wholeheartedly Yes, it's all right Take my message to your brother And tell him twice Take the news to the marching men Who are killing their brothers When death won't do, yeah Yes, we're all the same Yes, the blood inside of me is inside of you Now, tell me Can you feel it Can you feel it Can you feel it Can you feel it Can you feel it Can you feel it

God’s Reply (Lyrics & Music: Mimi Schell, Ken Stringfellow) V1 Infatuated by a jewel I hold though immaterial Come see, baby, with me Invisible, not to deny As inscrutable as God’s reply His wings, baby, in me CH Some people might fill Their buckets with silver and gold- yeah What I got is free, babe It’s inside of me, babe V2 I give away my properties Let mysteries be mysteries Let joy, baby, lead me I paint with my hands Every wall in town I colour the world with the love I found Come here, baby, with me CH2 No more asking why We won’t ask for Heaven’s reply Let’s fall out of space, babe Let’s fall into time V3 And whenever I’m down All exhausted and tired I remember where love’s precious treasure lies It’s in me CH3 You’re looking for proof What more would you need to be told- yeah Silver and Gold, babe Are nothing to hold No more asking why We won’t wait for God’s reply It’s inside of me, babe Inside of me

The Tower (Lyrics: Mimi Schell Music: Mimi Schell, Ulrich Rode) V1 With bated breath And trembling hands And senses quietly overloading The calm before The moment’s come Irrevocably unfolding Br1 The air is thin Here on the edge of everything I’ve known The sky is clear I’m on the jump into the sphere Ahead lies God’s empty space CH Heaven reveal your love And catch me in your palms I’ve overcome despair Heaven reveal your love And put me back down Where there’s Still hope on this earth V2 A tower built Of bricks and stones Grown out of the walls of bitter silence And on its platform In the storm I won’t keep still, I’m ready to move on now Br I’m full of life It’s time to leave a deadly world behind Don’t wanna be here still I want to be here Ready for everything that is yet to come CH Heaven reveal your love And catch me in your palms I’ve overcome despair Heaven reveal your love And put me back down Where there’s Still hope on this earth Full of wonders Full of wonders
