if you have an open house
then you have an open mind
and you will live a housand times more
We arrived at Shnells house
and I had a panic breakdown
I never met Shnell before
but he offered me a bed to spend the afternoon
if you have an open house
then you have an open mind
and you will live a housand times more
At night when I felt better
Shnells house filled up with his friends
and some neighbor’s just passing by
to see what was going on there
if you have an open house
then you have an open mind
and you will live a housand times more
and we played our songs
and people were chanting along
they had freestore out on that street
the night was warm and my heart beat
if you have an open house
then you have an open mind
and you will live a housand times more
I slept like a baby cat
in the morning we left for Robertos flat in Berlin

Summer comes to the Görlitzer park
frisbee style like it never gets dark
beach sand in between your toes
at the zuckerzauber and I’m ruining the mood with my songs
we got the wings and you got the shade
we got the hummus and you got the bread
ice tea for the jazz disco nights
that open stage drives me wild wild wild
Free beer every night but I aint drinking
A smile in everything but I aint thinking clear
the night is a dream filled with thunder and spices
and I’m gonna ride it out like I’m myself

Capo 1
C
Climate changes over Europe
F
and I'm riding buses to sing songs about my dog
C
Climate changes over Europe
F
I get a few euros in the hat for playing songs
C
But something's going on
I miss my plastic water bottle
F
but I guess it's happier in Berlin
C
I know you don't agree with me James
F
But there's a smile in everything
C
Water's rising over Europe
F
that smile turns into a grin
C
Water's rising over Europe
F
and it will swallow everything
G
By 2035
F
and if I am alive
C
I'm gonna have to build an ark
F
out of plastic water bottles
C
it will be Waterworld all over
G
and I'm gonna tattoo a map
F
on my back
C
with directions to the moon

Capo 4th
C Am F G
You’ve been on my mind- and im just a couple minutes late
You’ve been on my mind- I’m punching circles to catch the last train
Constantly- I’m always loosing myself on these streets.
But you’ve been on my mind- I know excuses won’t mean anything
We met up in Hamburg - and your stomach was a bit upset
We met up in Hamburg - it was your stress trying to win the be-et
The night was warm - when you decided to just let it go
When we met up in Hamburg - And with your voice you managed to control
F G C Am F G
oooooh -
All those fears when you were standing there
on the stage giving your everything
Fighting back with every vibrant chord
(Placing smiles within everyone
C Am F G
Your house in Berlin - I’m sorry my kitchen is a fucking mess
In your house in Berlin - I still can feed you with some chilean ta-aste
There’s so much going on - Is up to you to keep yourself in place
and thunder hit town - Und ich bin glücklich wir sind schon wieder da hum.
We met up with Jan - is it the weather or I like this town
Yea We met up with Jan - In Nuremberg everyone seems so ni-ice
We slept in Jans bed - And I just cant really get over it
and we met up with Jan again- He said we have people everywhere
F G C Am F G
He said we have people everywhere
He said we have people everywhere
C Am F G
There’s a smile in everything - it ain’t that simple to just say it like this
There’s a smile in everything - But you will see one if you really try hard
Bavarian summer nights - We were given in this space and time
There’s a smile in everything - Stories that willl live in our guitars.
F G C Am F G
oooooh -
All those fears when you were standing there
on the stage giving your everything
Fighting back with every vibrant chord
(Placing smiles within everyone
—————————————————————————————————————
You’ve been on my mind
You’ve been on my mind
Constantly
But you’ve been on my mind
F G C Am F G
oooooh

Sleeping in the room where ss officeers used to sleep
sleeping in the house that was the heart of the beast
from the kunstverein in Nuremberg they
ran their fascist machine
but its a punk club now, aint that sweet
and if hitlers ghost shows up tonight
I admit Im gonna be scared
but Im gonna tell that unclefucker
go ahead and haunt this house
you are dead and I am alive now
Facism is dead
and we sing whatever we want to sing
Fascism is dead
and we love whoever we want to love

Some kind of quest
02:09
|
|||
Your life is an adventure like Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the lost ark
Your job is a dark dungeon filled with traps and treasure but it will fucking eat your heart
Your life is a balance act between the girl you love in Siberia and a hateful nazi regime
and you just stumble around confused getting shot at on their submarine
Aint that so, doctor Jo
Yea you know it’s true
I know it would have been easier to be born with some social skills and a sense of this world
all this anxiety never did you any good, did it, worrying about mistakes and growing old
One day you learn hopefully not to be wasting your life on that shit and also not eat poisoned dates
also snakes are not helping, but at least you try doctor Jones and I think that’s great
Aint that so, doctor Jo
Yea you know it’s true
One day doctor Jones you be 80 years old and you will be looking back on all the amazing things that you did
will your life be just a secret warehouse full of boxes of important relics and archeology?
no you could still write a poem and you could write the most beautiful poem filled with romance, lust and grace
and you know the most beautiful thing is the divine ark when it melts the fucking nazis face
Aint that so, doctor Jo
Yea you know it’s true
