New York Amsterdam Varanasi or Bangkok you’re never alone Katmandu San Francisco Rome Copenhagen always heading home Lugano Paris Boston Maastricht Eindhoven you’re never alone Ko Phangan Heidelberg Tzfat Yerushalayim you are coming home Playing receiving blessing and giving don’t forget you’re not alone Laughing and cooking dancing just looking always seeing home Whistling waiting making love meditating you never were alone Singing and walking tuning and talking everywhere is home The fruit it is sweet and the circle’s complete the answers to where when and how Now that I’m here and everything’s clear jump and jive into the here and now Christina and Lisa Kim and Clarissa always feeling alone Angela Monica Diedre Veronica looking for a home Robert and Jimi Ariel Bob and Shlomo take off your highway shoes I remember I hear you now I am near you you’ve already paid your dues Roomful of songs places and faces all fade into one and it smiles No striving arriving when all is forgiven welcome to the world my child To my son I said “you are the one and you’re not alone” My daughter too hope’s always true and despair is gone The groom to his bride said “come to my side this time and next time around” I heard a voice thanks for the choice now I’m never alone

Seven billion humanoid stew In a thousand two are the Jews Rather swing then drown in the holocaust blues Facebooking the quandry I'm in Better paying gigs in Berlin Just a begger knowing he's king of his shoes So sarcastic iconclastic Cynic is a disillusioned idealist the red pill for better or worse cloud or prison blessing or curse karma pays your creative workingman dues העולם הכי טוב שניתן הוא סביבך עכשיו וגם כאן אופטימיסט רוקד על רצפת תוארך כנראה שטוב מזה אין פסימיסט מולו מהנהן התקרה הזו שוב דופקת ראשך בו-זמנית ודו זרמית ה ציניקן הוא אידיאליסט שהתאכזב יהיה טוב זו רק אשליה טוב הוא כל מה שכבר היה חוט העפיפון כרוך סביב לשונך noch een keertje over de vloer noch a mol wir gehen aufs tour players change the song is remaining the same an addiction calling or fate klezbop jazz it's never too late militant pacifists einsteining their claim it's dogmatic or ecstatic non-commercial existential Yud is the tenth letter alive global village idiot jive there's no exit – go on and jump in the game

you don't know what love is until you've learned the meaning of the blues until youve loved a love you had to lose no you don't know what love is you don't know how lips hurt until you've kissed and had to pay the cost until you've flipped your heart and you have lost no you don't know what love is do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing and how lips that taste of tears lose their taste for kissing you don't know how hearts ache for love that can not live but never dies until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes no you don't know what love is
