(Dirkschneider, Kaufmann)
I Ate The Moon For Breakfast I Had The Sun For Tea I Opened Up The Papers And Drank The Oval Sea I Beat The Holy Armies I Claimed My Own Terrain I Forced Away The Darkness And Cauterised My Pain I’ll Live My Dreams - And I’ll Have It All All In The Day And The Night Time After Time - I Never Go Wrong Watch Out - You Better Hold Tight Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball I Walked Upon The Desert And Scaled The Mountains High Gave Water To The Rivers And Painted Up The Sky I’ve Played With All The Planets Took Life Away From Mars And All My Magic Power Gave Light To All The Stars Bridge Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball - Read The Book Of Lies Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball - The Shock Of Life Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball - Do You Believe Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball - Have The Ride Of Your Life Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball - Believe In Lies Ride The Thunderball The Thunderball - Between The Lines |
