INTO THE HIGHLIFE my life is broken broken life reality a ticket to nada into the the border breaking the line stepping into the limelight My light is frozen melting in the sun at ease Singing songs from the underground I´m a shooting star but I´m broke in sahara when you got it all, when you got it all when you start to think you might loose it all when you got it all, when you got it all but you feel the tide moving on the floor My time is frozen into lost reality I think I sang my cloudsong I gave you my secrets before they were lost By by my broken dreams I´m diving from the highest bridge songs from the underground but I´m running hard to be a lucky star when you got it all, when you got it all when you start to think you might loose it all when you got it all, when you got it all but you feel the tide moving on your floor when you got it all, when you got it all when you start to think you might loose it all when you got it all, when you got it all and you got this song moving on the floor

CITY OF SATELLITES One day - I woke up in The City of the Satellites Buzzing, trembling in the morning light Being in the City of the northern light - Where I was born One day - Dwelling in The City of the Satellites Looking for whatever´s going down Never ever thought that I would still be here - After all this time…. If you travel from The City of the Satellites Returning there another summer night Everything is beautiful and strange and empty - In this time They say that things are gonna change I don´t know when I don´t know why They lower the wage to pay the banks I don´t know for what It´s only a question of…. Time - like ashes in the ocean Time - flies - Faster than the moment Time - like ashes in the ocean Time - flies - vastly into motion - Time........ So far - to far away........... ----- Let´s get up broken light ----- Let´s wake up broken sun ----- So far - to far away........... One day walking through The City of the Satellites Bathing, silently in fading light Crowded streets and empty spaces I´m alright This town is going through a change An economic strange derange A Big Boom TV contest age A new time global ego phase in…… Time - like ashes in the ocean Time - flies - Faster than the moment Time - like ashes in the ocean Time - flies - vastly into motion - Time........ So far - too far away........... ----- Let´s get up broken light ----- Let´s wake up broken sun -----

Bohemia 04:19
BOHEMIA Feeling like I´m loosing it all when you´re loosing the crowd Feeling like I´m loosing it all when you´re loosing the crowd You got to sentimental don't you? Please don't stop cause it might be music You got to sentimental don't you? They´re saying that your loosing it all when your loosing the crowd They´re saying that your loosing it all when your moving the sound Get on up Get on up Don't stop Get on up Get on up Don't stop Get on up Get on up Don't stop Get on up Get on up Don't stop Get on up Get on up Don't stop Get on up Get on up Don't stop Get on up Get on up Don't stop Get on up Get on up Don't stop I speak through the wall through the wall through the wall that´s the end of this Life goes, automatic, automatic to the sentimental beat Life flows Shots of motion, of emotion, out of la la la la la la I do it out of passion, out of fashion, automatic, manic, out of reach........

STRANGE FLOWER Some say we're born and back to life to find our way Some say we're born to act like flowers in the rain But on the movie there's sun in november and on the radio their playing Pretenders when you pass as flower high away and all the worries, not worthy to enter and we will laugh at our madness, remember and all the panic´s hundred miles away some say the doors lead out and some say they lead in but some doors are just leading out with people walking in But on the movie there's sun in november and on the radio their playing Pretenders when you pass as flower high away then all the worries, not worthy to enter and we will laugh at our madness, remember when the snapshots shooting smiles all day Some say we're working class born to eat and breath some say we're more than that we're secrets on this space But does it matter if rainbows are tender ? if Hallelujah's a word or defender ? if it stops to shine its colorbeams (So).... say Hallelujah, alleluia , Callua Ballerua let's oa melua When you're a strange flower and miles away Some say, some day... ----- Growing up like some strange flower ------

2079 Hey hey do you catch the time 2079 Hey hey let your dreams take flight under the speed of your life you say you know, I say I see, but I don't know how all our dreams may come to show I say I will, you say you wont Lets move the sound and take control Hanging on to myself down into my life Hanging on to my own thing into my life Hey hey Come and catch the time 2079 Hey hey come and cross the line and let the music alive I say I would You say I dream but I don't know How come the wind can take control ? If you can win then I could fall Let´s move the shadows from the wall Hanging on to my something into my life Hanging on to myself If I happen to fall Hanging on to myself If I happen to fall Hanging on to my own thing into my life Hanging on Moving toward the stream Hanging on Moving toward the stream

FASTER THAN THE WIND Fire water wind & sand & dust Blowing me so slowly into trust Gone outside a window on a street Distant trembling underneath my feet Faster than the wind & sound & light Softer than the conscious wave of mind Faster than the falling speed of time Moving shade I´m turning round and round.... Soft dissolving Gone without a trace On my way into a different space Voices people ambient morning light Outside where the sparkling city shines Faster than the wind & sound & light Softer than the conscious wave of mind Faster than the falling speed of time Moving shade I´m turning round and round.... Blowing like a leaf among the breeze...... Over rooftops, time and hope and dreams........ Beyond dust clouds silence noise and speech ........

THE UNMATERIAL SMALL LIFE Unmaterial Unmaterial Out on a trail A long distance runner Unmaterial Unmaterial...... Keep on trying Keep on striving Life can´t always be this struggle Keep on turning Keep on yearning Whatever you do you just don´t earn it Unmaterial Unmaterial Out on a trail A long distance runner Unmaterial Unmaterial...... Keep on trying Keep on striving Life can´t always be this struggle Keep on turning Keep on yearning Whatever I do I just don´t earn it Keep on dancing out on distant drumming tonight---- And it´s party that never stops Keep diving headlong into the Unmaterial small life And this party will never stop Keep falling headlong into the Unmaterial small life Over the top into the deep steep dive I fell for you down under the Unmaterial small life Sweet suffering in these craving times I took it all right under the Unmaterial small life Keep on dancing out on distant drumming tonight---- Unmaterial...... Unmaterial....... Keep on trying Keep on striving Life is flashing by by..... Keep on trying Keep on fighting Life is flashing by by.....

about

"Tropical Birds" is Montag Mania:s second album, a futuristic, ambient dance record with elements of tropicalia and afrobeat. The music was written during creative recording sessions in Kreuzberg, Berlin, in Stockholm and in Tornedalen in the north of Sweden. The album contains elements from many different times and places, a musical journey, some lucky mistakes, some magic, euforic moments recorded and captured on tape, snapshots of these parallel worlds existing simultaneously all over the planet.
