"I've said it over and over again that I'm a classical composer, dishevelling my personality by dabbling in rock 'n' roll."

Lyrics

Helium Sunset

Words and music: An Pierlé

Nothing counts
Anymore
Have no doubts
Shut the door
Climb this mountain
Take me dear
Please come over
Do come near

Helium sunset
Seriously wrong bet
Oh...

Nightly highway
Almost dark
Flashing streetlights
Angels bark
Drive too fast
Get me frightened
This won't last
Morning brightens

Helium sunset
Seriously wrong bet

You see,
Sometimes...

120 miles an hour
You'll get plenty of
Sweetly sour
Play some music
Singin' together
Kiss the crash-barriers
Together for
Ever
