State Of Art - "Make It Work" 04:44
lyrics
So wake up and walk around the street Come with me to feel the joy and pain So get up and dance the brand new beat Move with me and let the music play Time is running away I'm not a fool, believe what I say We gotta find a new way My aim is true, just live for the day To make it work We can work together We can play forever We can live together And dance the night away We can work together We can play forever We can live together And make it right today So get up and wipe your tears tonight Come with me, our star will shine the way So wake up and live a brand new life Move with me and let the music play Time is running away I'm not a fool, believe what I say We gotta find a new way My aim is true, just live for the day To make it work We can work together We can play forever We can live together And dance the night away We can work together We can play forever We can live together And make it right today Let's make it work

State Of Art - "Downtown" 03:35
lyrics
I wait for something every night Watching tv with closed eyes Hearing music without light I look at my face in the windows I wait for someone every night I don't know her name, don't know her face No more lies and no more cries No love chains and no more doubts It's the time to dance in rhythm And to have good time around When you are going down, to the place downtown You can face them without fear Down, down don't put me down I can see them turning round And when it's time to dance in rhythm You can face them without fear Looking for the light of the day I'm looking for the light in my room searching for the power of my body I'm searching for the power of my soul I wait for something every night Watching tv with closed eyes Hearing music without light I look at my face in the windows I wait for someone every night I don't know her name, don't know her face No more lies and no more cries No love chains and no more doubts It's the time to dance in rhythm And to have good time around When you are going down, to the place downtown You can face them without fear Down, down don't put me down I can see them turning round And when it's time to dance in rhythm You can face them without fear Looking for the light of the day I'm looking for the light in my room searching for the power of my body I'm searching for the power of my soul

State Of Art - "Dantzig Station" 03:06
lyrics
Dreaming her eyes in Dantzig station I'm reading a book by Thomas Mann Waiting for a train to return to Berlin And the night is arrived already A girl at the station A girl at the station A black and white picture Men in grey uniform All against a wall Waiting in silence for an order The time is passing under my feet The time is passing over my head A girl at the station A girl at the station Every noise is like a presage And every kiss is fruit of my fantasy The time is passing under my feet The time is passing over my head A girl at the station A girl at the station

lyrics
Show me how you feel now I'm tired but not alone Hold me tight in your arms You make me feel so strong Listen to what I say now You might hear me no more See me and take no blame now Forget my old mistakes Hold me but say no words please Silence is what I need Listen to what I say now You might hear me no more Show me now, show your fears Tight as always but no more tears Show me now, show your strength Still together but still no chance Show me how you feel now I'm tired but not alone Hold me tight in your arms You make me feel so strong Listen to what I say now You might hear me no more See me and take no blame now Forget my old mistakes Hold me but say no words please Silence is what I need Show me now, show your fears Tight as always but no more tears Show me now, show your strength Still together but still no chance Show me, show me You better show me your love Show me, show me You better show me your love tonight

State Of Art - "Venice" 03:47
lyrics
A trip to Venice, a trip to Venice To fade away, to fade away There where water is immaterial In the depth of the ocean Where dreams are at standstill And dust vanish as a spell A trip to Venice, a trip to Venice To fade away, to fade away There where water is immaterial In the depth of the ocean Where dreams are at standstill And dust vanish as a spell A grey hat, hatful of rain A long raincoat water coloured The silent roaring of stony lions Amid the long nervous pawing On small bridges, on small bridges Where time is flowing in silence

State Of Art - "Sleeping Together" 03:29
lyrics
Sleeping together And no love chains Sleeping together And no love chains Sleeping together And no love chains Sleeping together And no love chains
