Westbound Sun Songtext
von Claus Hempler

With pants on fire and eyeballs spellbound
I began on top then worked my way down since
now I balance on the edge of a piece of paper
walk on a tightrope between skyscrapers knowing
that I′m stuck with my survival kit below the stars:
cell phone, cigarettes and accoustic guitar singing:

When love can't find a home in your heart
the westbound sun shines forever and ever.


It′s great when you do
that thing with your fingers
that snap that turns the view into a clear
where the landscape blooms
like a young Montgomery Clift
before he smashed up his Porsche
and started to lose it
'cause that kind of beauty never lasts,
it falters and blurs
corrupts like a heart determined
to burst for no reason
'cause the heart can never tell
whatever lies at the center
it just pumps round the blood
while adrenalin enters the brain.

When love can′t find a home in your heart
the westbound sun shines forever and ever.

I feel like Napoleon on grass
while the Sunday keeps rolling on
and everyone around all think they′re Napoleon too
it's like fear is only skin deep
and our path has no end only beginnings.

When love can′t find a home in your heart
the westbound sun shines forever and ever
when it all seems lost and you can't find your grip
the westbound sun shines forever and ever.
