Sensations
Alphaville · First Harvest (Usa) [1992]
Atlantic engineers & cities in the moon
You better look across the ocean,
Now tell me what you see:
The southern cross explodes into the colours of the sea
Mighty madmoondog skips across the waves
kick the door and hit the shore and be somebody else
supersonic landscapes are melting in your hair
bubblegum comedians are planting skylarks in the air
Here we go with the new sensation, we're on every station
Such a kind of a legend to turn you on, dig that rhythm,
Genie and listen to the voice of the dolphin
Listen to the radio...
All across the planet, politicians tremble
Continental sister's rocking with the liquid gambler
Now the time is here, now it's coming true...
The enigmatic ecstasy is overwhelming you
Acrobats & comets are streaking by
40.000 sirens are walking in the sky
Innersexual circuits are cruising without fear
All inviting you for partytiming here
Here we go with the new sensation, we're on every station
Such a kind of a legend to turn you on, dig that rhythm,
Genie and listen to the voice of the dolphin
Listen to the radio...
Listen to me - listen to the voice of the dolphin
you better return to the sea - listen to his majesty
you better return to the sea - you better return to me...
