Well, me, my wife and our daugther
We found ourselves standing in New York
It was just a mile? of? land? and it was hard to understand
But we bought it from the indian on the run

Yeah, there we were me and daddy
We were travelling through the desert all alone
We were pinely? south? of west?
We were ? just a test?
And we could get up up on the mountain top

Come on up up on the mountain top
Come on up up on the mountain top, once again
Come on up up on the mountain toooop

By the time that she had reached
The inspiration point
I saw her with an indian
Sharing a joint
Then before I could get up
Close enough to shout stop
The indian had already done his job

Come on up up on the mountain top

Come on up up on the mountain top
Come on up up on the mountain toooop

Yipiiiieee

Come on up up on the mountain top, once again
Come on up up on the mountain top, one more time
Come on up up on the mountain top

Yeah, we were me and daddy
We were travelling through the desert all alone
We were pinely? south? of west?
We were ? just a test?
And we could get up up on the mountain top

Come on up up on the mountain top
Come on up up on the mountain toooop
Mountain toop
Come on up up on the mountain top, one more time
Come on up up on the mountain top, once again
Come on up up on the mountain top, for the last time
Come on up up up on the mountain top
				

I'm your cigarette man
I'm doing the best I can
I'm your cigarette man
I'm doing the best I can
You might find me on your TV-screen
Or on the cover of a magazine
But I'll be sitting on a horse
With a smoke of course

'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman
'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman

I just stand here in the shade
I'm american made
'Cos I'm tough and I'm mean
I'm the american dream
Do as I: Inhale, don't blow it!
You'll get the feeling & you know it...
When the smoke gets to your brain...
It makes you quite insane...

'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman
'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman
				

The sun went up
Red and glooming?
Spread heat and light and dust
All over Wyoming
There she went for ever and ever
While I'm standing here on Never Never
Indian girl, where've you been so long?
I'm standing here, can't you hear my song?
Oh Indian girl, where've you been so long?
I'm standing here, can't you hear my song?

I was standing above
And my tears were falling
Looking down on my love
While her tribe was calling
There she went for ever and ever
While I'm standing here on Never Never
Indian girl, where've you been so long?

I'm standing here, can't you hear my song?
Oh Indian girl, where've you been so long?
I'm standing here, can't you hear my song?

When that sun went up
Red and glooming?
I lost my heart, my light my love
Way out in Wyoming
There she went away for ever and ever
While I'm standing here on Never Never
Indian girl, where've you been so long?
I'm standing here, can't you hear my song?
Oh Indian girl, where've you been so long?
I'm standing here, can't you hear my song?
Oh Indian girl, where've you been so long?
I'm standing here
				

You're now listening to Disneyland After Dark
Hit it boys!
				

The night they took him to the graveyard
It was moonlight; call of the wild
They forced him to bury his father
Oh boy, he was only a child
He grew older, meaner and vicious
And the glance of his eyes got malicious
He thought about revenging his father
He sweared he would turn out as another
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild

He travelled on trail wide and narrow
He would draw and shoot at any shadow
Checking the decks with his back to the wall
Hiding the tracks of his lonely call
The blood on his hands was still dripping
Hunting by instinct and no sleeping
He remembered the face of the gunman
Who slaughtered his dad the same evening
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild

The night they took him to the graveyard
It was moonlight; call of the wild
They forced him to bury his father
Oh boy, he was only a child
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Come on, call of the wild
It's the call of the wiiiiild
C-c-call of the wild
				

We went out riding
Me and my girlfriend Sue
Riding through the desert
Where noone ever gets through
We got off our horses
And laid down in the sand
Suddenly I noticed
That we were in Disneyland..

- And I was looking at the sky
Looking at the *** above
Thinking 'bout the days
When we were still in love
Sweet, sweet, sweet harmless love...

We saw the hills in the distance
Their shape was coming clear
Her voice was full of tension
As she whispered in my ear:
- If you take me there I'll make you fly!!
(She petted my hand and she gave me the eye...)
- We'll be closer to God - Oh me, oh my
I didn't know she was going to die!

Chorus

We was heading for the mountains
And we started climbing up...
But when we reached the viewpoint
Sue decided to drop - Aaaaaaaargh
She fell for an hour
Turning 'round and 'round like a wheel
And when she hitted the bottom
I knew my heart would never heal!!!

Now I'm looking at the stars...
				

I'm your cigarette man
I'm doing the best I can
I'm your cigarette man
I'm doing the best I can
You might find me on your TV-screen
Or on the cover of a magazine
But I'll be sitting on a horse
With a smoke of course

'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman
'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman

I just stand here in the shade
I'm american made
'Cos I'm tough and I'm mean
I'm the american dream
Do as I: Inhale, don't blow it!
You'll get the feeling & you know it...
When the smoke gets to your brain...
It makes you quite insane...

'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman
'Cos I'm the Marlboroman
- I'm the Marlboroman
				

I'm countin' the cattle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I'm countin' the cattle
Just to check if there alive
I'm countin' the cattle: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I'm countin' the cattle once again.

Well, the first little cow
She went for a climb, fell off the
Mountain - and then we were 9
The second little cow, she went out
For a date
Discovered it was Wolfie
And then we were 8

I'm countin'...

Well number 3 & number 4 they were longhorned chicks
- Met some horny bulls
And now I'm only countin' 6

Number 5, 6 & 7 went out without their key
The're hanging at the butchers
And I'm only counting 3

I'm countin'...

Well the 8·9 said: - We're never havin'
Fun!! They packed their things
And left! And I'm only countin'
1!!

Well here we are
Me and Molly
She is brown-spottet, cheerful
And she is jolly
Our son is a muuhtant
- But who gives a damn
- I mean, when the folks
Downtown, calls us:
Mister and mam!!

I'm counting...
				

Jackie O went ridin'
To the Wounded Knee...
Jackie O was killed
In the battle in 73...
- I was his last friend
And I watched him die...
As the angel grabbed him
- I said: Fly Jackie fly!

Jackie went from pain and misery
To join the warriors
Down at Wounded Knee

I watched the dying Jackie
Untill the morning broke
The distant thunder faded
Of the blue-shirts second stroke...

I knew the fight was over
And we had lost again
Both here and in South Dakota
Where I had lost a friend!!.

Jackie went from pain and misery
To Join the warriors
Down at Wounded Knee
				

I grew up under a stetson® in Omaha...
But my mama she told me
I wouldn't go far
Now I'm out on the highway
Every night & day
Just driving the cattle
From N.Y. to L.A.

Me & my 18 wheeler
Across the USA
Me & my 18 wheeler
Every night & day

Now my mom & dad are proud to see
The stickers on my window
And my Disneyland t·ee
The diesel engine take me away
Way across the USA

Chorus

Singing: Yiiiiipiiiii - yiiiiipiiiii yiiiiipiiaai
This diesel engine takes me away
Singing: Yiiiiipiiiii - yiiiiipiiiii yiiiiipiiaai
Way across the USA
				

I was out in the wild
Trying to catch some supper
And bring it home to sweet mama..
But when the pony headed back
To our home valley..
I knew I'd been gone too long:

- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

I reached home just afer dark..
Looking for mama
But she was nowhere on our land...
So I kicked the frontdoor open
Saw the rope above her
And the shadow of the dirty gunman...

- And I crossed the Rock River the day before she died

I chased him through Arkansas
From Texas to Missouri...
He took me up north
From Saint Antoine To Saint Louis
He was haunted
But I had the time
I wanted him back
To the scene of the crime

- And he crossed the Rock River the day before he died...

Well, we reached Rock River
And we reached the other side...
He looked back
Kinda fraid for his life
I pulled my trigger
And I hitted him
Right between the eyes
And then I roped him up to mama
To the roaches & the flys...

Rock River Rock River
Rock River Rock River
Rock River
				

Hey Jonnie...
Put that gun down
You see we're not alone
You look so square
Standing there, with your greasy
Grey long hair.
I remember growing up together
Sharing all kinds of weather
We were to small kids
In a dusty town...
Your trail was trouble, mine was
Homebound:

That's when you reach for
Your revolver...
That's when you reach for
Your gun...

Well, we heard the stories
On the wire
Death was your only desire
Stayin' away made you hard to
Blame..
But killing my love made me
Stop your game:

That's when I reach for
My revolver...
That's when I reach for
My gun...
				

He laid face down
In the desert sand
Clutching a sixgun
In his hand
And me & Maria went to watch him die.
Suddenly the raised and said:
Help me now, or I shoot you dead!.
- I got an arrow in my back
And it aches as hell!!

So we jumped on down in the yellow sand
Started helping this gunfighting man
He was sixfeet tall'n'four feet wide
And the wagon tipped from side to side
Driving into the red, red sun
Poor mule he could hardly run
I turned my head to Maria
And she turned her head to mine:
And we knew...
What he was going to do
He was going to shoo-oo-oy
His whole way through
And his name was on the pistol
- And he was son of a gun!!

As we went driving into town
We saw these posters all around
There was a big reward upon his head
- Coz' the marshall wanted to see
him dead...
As we talked about this gunfighting man
We saw the steel in his hand:
Now folks I want to see you run!
To the rythm of my gun!!
And we knew...

Well I was saved & I was glad
Thanks to my old stetson hat®
It went through the top
Only leaving a spot
It was fabricated by an indian bud
Who did not now that he was hot
Hanging on the posters everywhere...

So I took one step back
And tipped my hat
And looked him in his eyes
Aom shit he was telling me the
Dirtiest lies
I had no time to get away
I was trapped in the USA
C'mon Maria, let's get out of his war...

And we knew...

And we knew...

Dow! Flam bam! Pow! Bow!
				

I'm looking at the sky, I'm trying
Not to cry, coz' it's over
The're turning down the light
It's late now
Wave the last
Goodbye...

Coz it's after dark now
And Disneyland is closed
We've been served
Icecold beer
And Walt is our host

It's after dark now
And Disneyland is closed...
The party is over
The night is here
Let's bring out a toast...
				

I was driving home late 1 Saturday night
Suddenly I saw this flashing light
A big hole in the ground
I thought it was a lie
It was a satellite It fell out of the sky

Now I'm 40 feet below
Running my own show
Isn't that wild
The programs allright
Coz it's my satellite
Yeah wild
Hello there at home
I'll be your host tonight

I'll give you x-rated nightmares
Your mum wouldn't allow you to see
Tom & Jerry & films 'bout the birds & the bees
Turn your big dish down & receive my lot
Forget about the news, workout & 700 club

Now I'm 40 feet below
Running my own show
Isn't that wild
The programs allright
Coz it's my satellite
Yeah wild
Hello there at home
I'll be your host tonight

Yeah wild...
				

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and rain
The first thing I met was a fly with no buzz
And a sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Coz there aint no one to a give you no paine

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told
Of a river that floated
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Coz the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and things
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And the perfectest sky is above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been...
				

Now u wouldn't believe me if I told you a lie
But I went to this party with a real cool guy
He was wearin high-heeled patent leather boots
And a poly-styrene dayglo suit
He said Hey man, don't be afraid
Coz I got a blind date you'll never forget
And then he grabbed my arm and arranged a cab
And lit a strange lookin fag
And I'm mighty, highty, high
I felt I could fly
My mind was sky high my brain said goodbye
I'm mighty, highty, high

Flesh fiddle faddle & the space got hot
I had a hanger banger brass hat & felt like a stud
Hey big Dr. Upstairs pumb my Mr. Big
I'm moonstructed milehigh it's a nuclear trip
Now hang it up stop that goppledigook
Lets get down n dirty the girls are itsypook
Heave hoo in the mumbo-jumbo tree
Wham-bam-boozle can't you see
I'm mighty, highty, high
I felt I could fly
My mind was sky high my brain said goodbye
I'm mighty, highty, high
Aaarrggg

Flim-flam-flophouse above 'n' beyond
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I'm mighty, highty, high
My brains said goodbye
My mind is sky-high I feel I can fly
I'm mighty, highty, high
Yeah, I'm mighty, highty, high
I feel like I can fly
My mind was sky high my brains said goodbye
I'm mighty, highty, high
Hi hi hi hi hi high
So high so high
I feel I can fly fly fly

I got hair in my ears
I got hair in my nose
I got hair on my back
And between my toes
When the time comes & my hairwash is due
I'm gonna use one ton of shampoo
But don't give me those sentimental eyes
Coz I'm proud & my hair is nice

It's not fair when people they stare
I love the colors I wear
I wont cut my hair
I wont cut my hair
Oh no, I wont cut my hair
Coz I'm proud of my hair

And like in the funny fairytale
I dry my hair the Rapunzel way
U just climb up the six floors
To my hairy home
& I fix u a smoke in the blend of my own
Yeah, I'll make u a hot pot of tea
Take off your clothes feel free
And get down in my hair
And make me insane
Lets get airborne on window pain

It's not fair...

I would die without my hair

Yeah right, I'm playin' in the band
And I would love to be your private Disneyland
I'll be your own amusement park
Then you can ride me
And ride me after dark
If they send me to the rows of death
For having illegal dope
I will order as my last meal
Before's the chair
Hamburger french fries n coke

Take those scissors away
I wont cut my hair

'Cause I'm proud and my hair is nice
I love my hair
I'm in love with my hair

I'm in love with my haaaaiiiir
				

The winter of fortynine had passed
A winter of haunt n fear
Coz hunger had knocked at the city gate
And threatened the pioneers
Then low in the east strange clouds appeared
And dark became the sun
And the courage to fight n win a war
Was all of a sudden gone

Black crickets
By 10 of millions or more
Black crickets
By 10 of millions or more
Until the fields that waved were few
Black crickets

Crickets by 10 of millions came
Like fog on a british coast
They swept down from the mountain sides
Settled down by their mormon host
Then the eldest old man got this bright idea
And he called for all the men:
We'll build a giant nest & the crickets will fear
That the big bird is here again!!

Black crickets...

They constructed this nest 2 days went by
They all prayed that by the end of their work
The unexpected guests would fly

They saw the nest the vision occured
& the dogs would wag their tails
The crickets all shouted: Bird is the word!
And the insects hit their trail
All heads were bowed as they thanked their lord
And they reaped while the devil raved
Coz their harvest was saved to tons of praise
And the pioneers were saved

Black crickets...

Hundreds of thousands
Thousands of millions
Millions of billions
Billions of trillions
Trillions of zillions
D.A.Dillions of fantazillions
Of black crickets
				

I got a lord of my own
& I got him at home
He's the one that I trust
Not to say I must
He is a friendly guy
He used to live in the sky
But then I gave him my key
& now he lives with me
He is not the holy ghost
Or my father nor my son
If I should give him any name
It would be: Captain Fun

There's a ship There's a ship
Sailing by Sailing by
There's a ship There's a ship
Sailing by Sailing by
There's a ship There's a ship
Sailing by Sailing by
There's a ship In the sky
Sailing by Sailing by

& I know if I try
He will always stand by
If I should laugh & cheer
I'll know he's here
He's like E.T. if you're askin' me
But he wears this plastic bubble
& that gave us trouble
Coz he's from the sky
& without it he would die
People ask: Whats that?
I reply: That's Capt. Spacehat

There's a ship...
Halleluja....
				

Hey folks, believe in me

My kitchen floor started crackin'
And out jumped a man
Big, red & horny

You got a hell of a reputation
And thats the name of my game
And Ive been diggin' all night
Coz I heard your name
Got a mean main reason have no fear
But first we'll play some poker
And have a warm beer
Lets play a little poker
And have a nice hot beer

I will smash your windows and burn your mail
I tied 10 knots on the devils tail.
I can eat a horse even chew a nail
I tied 10knots on the devils tail.
D.A.D. wouldn't cross his trail
Coz I tied 10 knots on the devils tail.
He's the toughest man & he cant fail
But I tied 10 knots on the devils taaaaiiiiil.

I sat down to the table
With the man that I once feared
He was drinkin hummin drinkin
And ascratchin' his beard
So we drank for about a fortnight
It seemed like some stupid test
Still I was sittin upright
Doing the things that I do best
But the poor devil looked a mess.

I will smash your windows and burn your mail
I tied 10 knots on the devils tail.
I can eat a horse even chew a nail
I tied 10knots on the devils tail.
D.A.D. wouldn't cross his trail
Coz I tied 10 knots on the devils tail.
He's the toughest man & he cant fail
But I tied 10 knots on the devils taaaaiiiiil.

He was red
He seemed kinda pale
Then I tied 10 knots on the devils tail
I dumped him in his hole
Heard the echoes of his scream
Hey boyscout from below
Now tell me who's mean!

I will smash your windows and burn your mail
I tied 10 knots on the devils tail.
I can eat a horse even chew a nail
I tied 10knots on the devils tail.
D.A.D. wouldn't cross his trail
Coz I tied 10 knots on the devils tail.
He's the toughest man & he cant fail
But I tied 10 knots on the devils taaaaiiiiil.

I'm so rough I spent summer in jail
'Cause I tied 10 knots on the devils tail
I'm so mean I could out-fart a gale
But I tied 10 knots on the devils tail
				

Hey get out of that tincan you call a car
Coz that old thing wont get you far
Don't take a bus and don't grab a cab
Coz I got a thing that'll drive you mad

C'mon ride my train
C'mon ride my train

I'm a railroad man I got a coal tan
And I work all day with the railroad gang
A number of trips makes the company pay
The number of bucks I earn a day

C'mon ride my train

All I want you to do is to ride my traiiin

I just tell 'em to:

Ride my train
C'mon ride my train
C'mon ride my train
C'mon ride my train

C'mon ride my train
				

I have seen the fruits of ramblin
I know hardship well
& if I'm not mistaken
I hear a ringing bell
I love to start but hate the ends
I crack a joke I know I need the friends
I do a lot of talking
But seldom with my heart
It hurts when people tell me
I often play too smart
But sometimes I'm happy
& sometimes I'm blue
You know I'm only passing through

A look to the sky is the reason why
I'd rather live than die
If heaven can wait I know I'll get by
I'd rather live than die

I always say yes
Thou I mean no
Remember to draw a circle
& then I'll know
Coz sometimes I'm happy
& sometimes I'm blue
You know I'm only passing trough

A look to the sky is the reason why
I'd rather live than die
If heaven can wait I know I'll get by
I'd rather live than die
				

Mumbling goodmorning & raising my head
A bad breath kiss to my pillow pet
I take a look at the day turns & stay in bed
Open my eyes when the day have died
I turned the world and I slept allright
Now my daymare is over I zip my jeans tight
Oh lord won't you bless this night...

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
I'm sleeping my day away
And when the night comes to the city I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! With my pale lips in the pillow I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
After dark is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away

When my dreams begin I'd be proud to be letting you in
With a smile on my face I guide our dreamboat in
So if you wanna travel along with me
You better sleep tight the rest of the day
You see I could be a sleeper it's not rest I lack
'Coz I hit the sack when the suns coming back

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
I'm sleeping my day away
And when the night comes to the city I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! With my pale lips in the pillow I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
That after dark - is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day
I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! Now I've turned the world around yeah! I did it again
I'm sleeping my day away
And now I have to wear my shades down sleepers lane
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! All the good people have gone to bed again
I'm sleeping my day away
'Coz the devil's at work inside my brain
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away away...
				

From the steamin Mekong delta
To the shores of Tonkin bay
Bombs of yellied gasoline
Is making night as bright as day
And the mogul's hard tank masters
Adore their new grenades
And the D.A.D. find their 9" shells
Are great for border raids

Yeah! I'm superfurious
I've done it again
I reach 50 when I count to 10
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left
For the pilgrims
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left
For the pilgrims

And you can shake your fist at the T.V. set
And you can slam your hand in the table
And you can cry and curse
Through tightlocked teeth
Just as hard as you are able
But you can't run away from trouble
'Coz there ain't no place that far
No fuel left for the pilgrims
Yeah! That's just the way we are

'Coz I'm superfurious I've done it again
I reach 50 when I count to 10
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left for the pilgrims
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left for the pilgrims

This is tower again, do you read me? You can get the girls & the
videomachine but the fuel you asked for... You cannot have!

What?! Blow me to heaven!!
Jihad I'm getting so mad I'm getting so mad
..Who's mad I'm mad, so mad
Jihad I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left for the pilgrims.
Etc.
				

Yeah, you like a man when his mind is strong
When his ego's so high he couldn't be wrong
And you like a man when he's right at the top
When his ego is growing and it don't seem to stop

See I'd like to share your point of view
As long as it's my view too
Can't win on a comprise I'd rather loose on my own
'Coz I feel kind of good when I'm all alone

And you play the games by the book and the rules
See I play'em backwards - let's see who lose
Yeah, you don't gor for the man, you go for his balls
So let's see who stands & see who falls...

Yeah, I'd like to share your point of view
As long as it's my view too
Can't win on a comprise I'd rather loose on my own
'Coz I feel kind of good when I'm all alone
And if I take a stand it will be my own
And take it yeah! Yeah!!

Shhhhhh... Take a look in these eyes
Do they look sincere?. Do you read my lips
Do I make it clear? Bye bye so long,
I don't want you here...

Yeah, I tried to share your points of view
If not all then maybe just a few
I couldn't win on a compromise
I'd rather loose on my own
'Coz I feel kind of good when I'm all alone
And if I take a stand it'll be my own
Get out of my heart.
And my mind..
And my home...
				

I'll start your day with a shock
See one of these days 'bout 12 o'clock
The world will turn into a little rock
And it's going to fall down with the sound of a knock
See I'm one of these guys who's nice to know
Coz I know a place to go it's just down the generation gap
I'll take you there in a red hot cab..
And if you want I mean you really really want
I'll show you my hometown and it's down
Yeah, you can tell by the smell
So close you can hear them yell

They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Oh lord let me live to tell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell

And meet your host lift your glass for a toast..
Don't be afraid of the colours he wear

And to be saved by the bell so close we almost fell

To the edge and back and to the edge again
Too hot for the D.J. and too hot for his friends

That's all I need for the life that I lead

I'm a true believer Yes I am
You try and get me if I can

I had a ticket to fly so I boarded a plane
When a combat dressed stewardesse shouted my name
I'm wanted alive yeah! I'm in for a trial
It's minimum mercy coz they found my file
Hijacked, kidnapped, trailed and trapped
They fly me in I'm gonna pay for all of my sins - now it begins
Yeah! I've a found place where girls eat men
Now I'm back in girl nation again
Girl nation Female civilization
Girl nation Female civilization

It's a female tale it's hard to use words
But I'm landed and stranded among oysters & birds
Bad bush & dangerous curves bad boys get what they deserves
Wild sisters dancing all night Round that totem
With a knife to my throat Round that totem
Yeah! They're chanting the oath
Singing 'bout mama all through the night round that totem of the red light
In girl nation Female civilization
Girl nation Female civilization
In girl nation by interstellar navigation
And sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting to ladyland Back where time began

One wild second then I was down
One full circle they stood all around
Counting my bones waiting to be dead
When a soft loving hand lifted my head
Tender lips kissing my chin, whispering:
- Honey, where have you been?
In girl nation Totem of the red light
Female civilization
In girl nation Totem of the red light
It's a female civilization Girl nation
Totem of the red light
By interstellar navigation & sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting through ladyland - back where time began
In girl nation ...
				

In my travelling heart, there's an urge to see
Foreign lands and alien birds, new stories that noone heard
To stick a pin in the globe and to believe and hope
There's a whole new world to unravel
As far as a boyscout can travel..
Company of adventurers On the secret track
Caesars of the wilderness Around the world & back
Cardcarrying members Lords of the atlas

To see God standing on a local hill
And to know there's forests unthrod still
Don't look back when you climb the stairs
I'm travelling on mental fares
Going through the eternal cloudland
To the ends of the world..
And after 2000 steps of climbing...
- I know it was the whole trip worth!
Company of adventurers On the secret track
Caesars of the wilderness Around the world and back
Cardcarrying members Lords of the atlas
- We're the lords Yeah, we're the lords of the atlas

Sitting crosslegged on a persian rug
Addicted to a 1000 drugs
Our flags nailed onto a mast
Captain says: Forward fast.!

Yeah! I heard a phone ring from deep down within
A friendly voice whistling under my skin
Yeay! I have to stop my enterprise below
But I'm not so sure the guy will let me go...

And I walk out that door that's what the door is for
In the night I'm way out of sight
But in the day I keep getting in the way Yeah!!
You see my friends says I'm over the top & I should chill out the wild

Syllables and sounds is all I hear

'Coz R mouth is racing while your mind is standing still

What we need isn't systems
Or some regulating plans
But bigger guns to shoot with
And a bigger type of man
Ill Will
For good or ill my iron will
Is unrivalled still Evil ill thrill
This is the curse to me & my friends
Ill will No patterns No sense

I hate mental exercise
Thinking gives me pain
I know people don't turn out
That way today
But here we go again:
Ill Will
For good or ill my iron will
Is unrivalled still Evil ill thrill
This is the curse to me & my friends
Ill will No patterns No sense

Rock'n'Roll!
Yeah! Ill will!!!
				

Straight out of frame'n'bend out of shape
Nothing's real x-cept the money that we made
Staring at the place where the 2 walls meet
Yeah! - Take a chair'n'have a seat...
Well, I should see it as a brand new start
But I'm all Adams apple'n'a f-f-f-fast beatin' heart
My nerves they twist'n'they jerk
See no drugs will do the work
And I'll tell U for free
How I started stopped bein' me
'Coz U won't believe what I believe when I'm alone
Bad Craziness
I got to tie my head to the T.V.'n'unplug the phone
Bad Craziness

See the shadows dancing' on the cieling
Say, do U hear what I hear?
Like a T.V. no one watches
My head's filled with Yeahs'n'Overmuches
Walking trails on my livingroom floor
I feel that life won't be the same as before
Like an x-plorer; lookin' for help
I'd be happy to find myself..
And join the temple of hope
To keep my balance on this globe
'Coz U won't believe what I believe when I'm alone
Bad Craziness
I got to tie my head to the T.V.'n'unplug the phone
Bad Craziness
I had 2 feet on the ground now I'm almost gone!
B-B-B-Bad Craziness
'Coz U won't believe what I believe when I'm alone
Bad Craziness ...

It's a bird, no a plane, it's a maaan insane!!

You won't believe what I believe when I'm alone
Bad Craziness
I got to tie my head to the T.V.'n'unplug the phone

Look at that guy in those tight leather-pants
He can't sing and you can see he can't dance
And soulfinger's spinning; throwing his hair
He's got nothing to say; He's just happy 2 B there
Look at his friend and look at his face...
He's got a 1 track mind'n'a 2 stringed bass!
On garbage drums with a license to swing
Pete sets the pace to anything...
But I don't care - No!
'Coz by the order of the police'n'sweet olde Walt
Yeah! We do as we please...
It's the Disneyland law - Disneyland law
And we don't need no more no
We got the Disneyland law - Disneyland law
Yeah, it's so far out; It makes anarchy a bore

What the critics defined as presence of mind
Was nothing but a wish 2 be 4 of a kind...
And though we don't share the same label
Each of us is a can of tomato...
From lower ego to upper i.d.
We're climbing up on the social tree
From cellar to t.v. - Arena to bowl
To penthouse-view from misery...
But I don't care - No!
'Coz by the order of the police'n'sweet olde Walt
Yeah! We do as we please...
It's the Disneyland law

And we don't need no more no!
We got the Disneyland law

This ain't open territory...
We're building a road-block

Yeah! I wake up; beaten, wrapped around the T.V.
Strange I was in bed when I slept...
And the tooth-paste's weird
'Coz when I try to talk; I blow a bubble instead
I got one shoe on'n'the other one's gone..
And my head's in the box full of bread...
Yeah! I know I've been tricked
- And I hate to admit
- I should've stayed in bed!
But I'll grit my teeth'n'take it
'Coz it's a day of wrong moves
I just know I've been chosen
To a day of wrong moves
On a day of wrong moves
A bad morning has broken
To a day of wrong moves

And my feet walk out; from under my brain
Like a high-wire artist I fall!
I keep forget; that I'm a neighbourhood threat
God's not polite at all
These days come without a warning
There must be a sign on my roof
It took a while just to see..
- That someone's pickin' on me...
And try to burn my fuse
But I grit my teeth'n'take it
Hey! It's a day of wrong moves
I just know I've been chosen
To a day of wrong moves
Yeah! A day of wrong moves
A bad mornin' has broken
To a day of wrong moves

I'm 6 feet tall with 20 movable parts
On a day of wrong moves
And sometimes they mess up'n'this is how it starts...
On a day of...
Yeah! Turn the radio on and up!!.
Hey!! I'm gonna call up work and say I'm dead!
That's a wrong move
Turn on the T.V. and forget
But that's a wrong move
Call up the cops'n'confess!!!
No that's a wrong move
'Coz I'm out on the wrong side of the bed!!!!
Hey, that's a wrong move
- But whatever I do; I have to make it through
A day of wrong moves
- I just know I've been chosen
To a day of wrong moves
Yeah, a day of wrong moves
A bad mornin' has broken
To a day of wrong moves
Hey! I'm 6 feet tall with 20 movable parts..
On a day of wrong moves
- And sometimes they mess up...n this is how it starts
On a day of...
On a day of wrong moves YEAH!
				

We played this part of this song for a year
Now all we need is a little singing...
And it's gotta be great 'coz it ruins my ear
When the guitar-wall is ringing..
Hey! We've been circling the airport
To give what we've got; and still some...
To small to be seen'n'to big to control
- Treated like a walkin' bomb
To doom-de-doomsday
Even if we start today
- Wel'll be big in L.A.
Rock'n'rock radar can't pick you up
Comin' on a low frequency
Rock'n'rock radar can't pick you up
A stain on the screen is all they'll see

Ass'n'trouble some one broke a string
- But who cares - We have an aeroplane yeah!
It takes more than a budget to keep us away
- It's the; "Bound to entertain-ya-mania"!!
With international niceness
On recycled vinyl'n'tape
Yeah! With a new rage; We'll find backstage
Press our bellybuttons'n'escape...
- To doom-de-doomsday.
- Even if we start today..
- We'll be big in L.A.

Comin' on a low frequency
Rock'n'rock radar can't pick you up
A stain on the screen is all they'll see
Rock'n'rock radar can't pick you up
And go ahead! - Call emergency!!
Rock * Rock ** Rock *** Rock'n'rock radar...
Comin' on a low frequency

Rock'n'rock radar can't pick you up
A stain on the screen's all they'll see
Rock'n'rock radar can't pick you up
You're too small; You need backin' up!
Rock'n'rock radar can't pick you up
- And if the radar's mistaken - you'll be big in Copenhagen!!
				

Heart and clock slows down...
And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound
On a diet of water and thick air
I inhale the heat and exhale my share
Barometer's climbin' up their scales
Heat shimmers and the horisont sails...
I wouldn't know 'bout the governments policy
But the waterhole-water looks like coffee!
Time stopped'n'heart slowed
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road

A full 20 miles wide..
Lies glowin' pebbles'n'nothing beside...
And man starts to boil

Can't help being born above a lake of oil
The distant battles don't shoot blanks
- Soon it's goodbye'n'many tanks
The long shadow used to read like poetry
- Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee!
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
- Walkin' thick soled
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Yeah! Down!!
To the road turns to sand...
				

Yeah, see the milk is in the fridge
And it's turning into cheese
If I'm so smart, how come I ain't rich?
No one knows and no one sees

My moral compass went out of course and I ran aground
You better watch how you get
But what the hell, what the heck?
I mean, I wrote out the check

It ain't the money you got
No, it's the money you spend

It ain't funny makin' fun of money
See it's already a mess
It ain't funny makin' fun of money
The Visa's and Diner's and Master Express

The cold hand of currency
Grips my heart at night
Right now it's raining unpaid bills
From an unknown height

Though the story ain't that funny
There was once when I had money
I act like I got it, pretend I know
It's minus 500 double 000

It ain't the money you got
No, it's the money you spend

It ain't funny makin' fun of money
See it's already a mess
It ain't funny makin' fun of money
The Visa's and Diner's and Master Express
Makin' fun of money
It's the D.A.D. and the I.R.S.

Yeah, I ain't got no hot water
And the cold is running thin
I keep conversations from a public phone
In this place I call home, I'm livin' in

Makin' fun of money, yeah, dollars and all
Makin' fun of money, all rolled up in a ball
Makin' fun of money and with a tremblin' hand
Makin' fun of money, I'll pay what I can

It ain't funny makin' fun of money
No, it's already a mess
It ain't funny makin' fun of money
The Visa's and Diner's and Master Express
It ain't funny makin' fun of money
The D.A.D. and the I.R.S.

It ain't funny makin' fun of money
Yeah, it's already a mess
It ain't funny makin' fun of money
No and I know 'coz I tried it
(It ain't funny makin' fun of money)
It ain't funny, no

(It ain't funny makin' fun of money)
Yeah, I'm way behind
(It ain't funny makin' fun of money)
It ain't funny makin' fun of money
It ain't funny makin' fun of money
				

There was a real thin line
Between right or wrong
In those Walt Disney times
When my parents were young..
But the line has disappeared...
And you wonder where it hides....
And you wanna go out; but you stay inside.....

I got run over by truth one day
Didn't see the red light
Since the accident I've walked this way
- I only did what felt right...
But from this day on; it's either: grow or pay!
Grow or pay
'Coz I got run over by truth one day

Sometimes the sky's so grey
That you cannot see beyond it
And even the wildest of dreams
- Can't take those lines from your forehead
Yeah! I know there's a bill
- And it's gonna make it's way somehow
With and excuse and a bow; I'll be paying it now:

I got run over by truth one day

Yeah, c'mon!
Hey, there's nothing I hate in.
No, there's nothing I hate in..
- There's nothing I hate in the world like waitin'!!
And there're things in life I'd hate to be late in-
Yeah! I look at my watch'n'look at my wrist..
- And then I punch myself in the face with my fist!.
I blew out of bed to make it
- Tomorrow's today'n'it's already here..
It's like a disease; I can't shake it...
- Why don't we get this motor in gear?.
A smart boy can't tell ya'!

5 o'clock come and 5 o'clock's gone...
And the large and the little moves steadily on...
This has gone to far; we gotta rewind
- Or it's a 4 fisted brainstorm in the group-mind!
Yeah!
- See I'm so tired of waitin'
I build it up so big in my mind..
We've filled the places we've played in!
- How come we never make it on time?.
A smart boy can't tell ya'!
I'm always the 1st and they're always too late!..
A smart boy can't tell ya'!
- Did I pick the wrong day; did I pick the wrong date??
A smart boy can't tell ya!
Aren't u happy to see us; we're only 3 hours late!!
Yeah!
A smart boy can't tell ya!
A smart boy can't tell 'a!!
A smart boy can't tell ya!!!
C'mon! Look at your clock; - I think we've waited enough
A smart boy can't tell 'ya!
I blew outa bed to make it

Tomorrow's today'n'it's already here!.
It's like a disease; I can't shake it...
- Why don't we get this motor in gear?.
A smart boy can't tell ya!
A smart boy can't tell ya!!

In a heavy-metal box
Where I was kept from I was little
It had locks on both ends
And a foodtray in the middle
I could smell my fans
- But I couldn't hear them shout..
So I did a lot of thinking...
- And this is was it's all about:
How much trouble can you make?
- And how much shit can you take??
Riskin' it all..
You kill yourself for peanuts
Riskin' it all...
With R'n'R in mind - but still..
Riskin' it all...

Don't need no average savage to kill my will!
The choice between light'n'shade
Are out beyond the bizarre
I mean why waste an outfit
Among strangers in a bar
- U see when I'm drunk
- I'm an original punk!!
Riskin' it all...
Yeah! You kill yourself for peanuts
Riskin' it all...
Under the metal-law; but I will not!
Riskin' it all...
With R'n'R in mind; but still..
Riskin' it all...

Don't need no average savage 2 kill my will!
Riskin' it all...
Yeah! You kill yourself for peanuts
Riskin' it all...
Under the metal-law; but I will not!
Riskin' it all...
With R'n'R in mind; but still..
Riskin' it all...
Don't need no savage average to kill my will!
				

I learned politeness on my mother's knee..
I learned by uprightness my number of friends
Should increase...
- When I think about the things I've done...
I laugh out loud to noone ...
- Yeah, to noone..
- 'Coz it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart
There's something inside me'n'I know it's good...
- But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2

- But I became honest Mr. Mistaken
In spite of the curves my smile was makin'...
Bumpers and kickers in one big stream
I grew up in a life size pinball machine!
Yeah! - They're mean!.
'Coz it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart...
There's something inside me'n'I know it's good..
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
- On my behalf
There's something inside me and I know it's good...
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2

- I tried to fill some silence -
'Coz the silence feels so long..
- I knew the ice was gettin' thinner
But I kept skating on!..
My mother threw me into this world as a winner
- But by the light of the yellow beer
They tell the jokes I'll never get to hear!!
- On my behalf
There's something inside me and I know it's good..
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2

- On my behalf
There's something inside me and I know it's good
But understanding, it's misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2.
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2..
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2...
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh'n'a 1/2....
				

When the fever burns your brain
When your heart has got a name
And you long for generous days
You want a spring in your walk and a smile on your face..
Another day inside the pearl
You could have screamed; leaving this world
You laugh'n'joke without a care
And bear a depression you can see from the air..

Ride the tail of rhyme
Break the legs of time
- Snap it's spine..
As a statue wearing complicated clothes
A monument to power, standing, but on reconstrucdead toes
At my feet there's a plate I haven't read..
Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead

A tambourine rings in my blood
The circus' rolling'n'the cage is locked..
So where's the light - a match that flares
- The pot at the end of the rainbow's where
Pick your nose as you pick your friends
Or spend a life in fear of the end
To tell a nodding shrink won't help
- So I say to myself: Hey, get a hold on yourself!

Ride the tail of rhyme
Break the legs of time
- Snap it's spine..
As a statue wearing complicated clothes
A monument to power, standing, but on reconstrucdead toes
At my feet there's a plate I haven't read..
Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead, reconstrucdead..

My eyes are blind My mind is numb
But my ears begin to hear - to hear the growing hum
Like a statue, jealous of the rush hour
I'm reconstrucdead like a monument, a monument to power
As a statue wearing complicated clothes
Standing high up as a tower now, but still the cracks will - yeah
The cracks will show
A lifetime of frustration - the things that I can't get
Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead
Reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead
				

Set out on a laughless day
Like a troupe of clowns
Peekin' out of a show man's car
Through cabbage town...
You feel a cold wind blow
Through your open mind
The end is about to start
So you shut it hard...
As the weather girl predicts:
Conducting the clouds with her stick
The day will be clear'n'funny
- Before it rains...

Written in water
Yeah, it's bound to disappear
Written in water
Down the crater of your ear

As long as the flavor lasts
In c-h-e-w-i-n-g gum
As long as we float around
This golf ball sun...
The light to replace the day
Is ten shades of gray
A kiss removes the skin
Shows you where you've been
Under the ultra-violet ray
A rule every fool obeys
Hold up your name in fire
- Before it rains...

Written in water
Yeah, it's bound to disappear
Written in water
Written on a wave of fear..
Written in water
Yeah, it's bound to disappear
Down-the-velvet-crater-of-your-ee-aa-rrr

Yeah, written in water
It's bound to disappear
Written in water
Written on a wave of fear
Written in water
It's bound to disappear
Down the velvet crater of your ear
Iiiiiiiiiiiihhjairr!... Written in water
				

I've been bounced around
But I'm still standing up
I've been so far down
That my ears they popped
And it was then I knew
By all the wrongs you do
- That if you can't be good - Be careful!
To achieve your happiness
On this terrestial ball..
Gotta have a clean conscience
But even better: None at all!!
But if you can't be good - Be careful yeah!

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish.
And when your friends begin to loose their way..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish..
Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish...
Through the revolving door on someone elses push
Yeah it's easy to be hard Easy to be hard...

In between those who've got it made
- And those who've got to wait..
Yeah, I'll offer you a chair
But when you sit down - It isn't there!
Always quick to lend a hand
Sorry - Not today I can't...
But I'm always there when I need you - yeah!

It's when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish.
And when your friends begin to loose their way..
Don't look back just helpyourselfish..
Yeah, it's easy to be hard, if we got everything now
Don't look back just helpyourselfish...
Through the revolving door on someone elses push
Yeah it's easy to be hard Easy to be hard...
Yeah, when a pat on the back becomes a slap in your face now
And when your friends begin to loose their way
Don't look back - just helpyourselfish
Through the revolving door on someone elses push
Yeah, it's easy to be hard Yeah, yeah easy to be hard...
				

I've got a painters eye
And a skilled musicians ears
And I'm silent - in 7 languages
And I've got all my family's fears...
What lives inside you?
Yeah, what stuffs your skin??
- Someone elses memory..
How come I never hear what I wanna hear
How come I never see what I wanna see...
The choice is small If there's choice at all
But I'm holding on as if I'm going to fall
Now I know how it feels
- To be ragged and wild
-- Whipped like a stepchild
Feel the soulbender
Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender
Just to see if any soul is in..

Whether one want them to or not
So far between a while well spent
And the time spent keepin' up...
Make one devoted
And settle like a bird
Forgive and try not to hurt
Don't take your garbage
- Anywhere but out..
Before the pup in your heart
- Becomes a dog in your mind
And it's licking my brains...
Sucking reason out
It will be cooking my head
With the lid on tight
You know how it feels:
- 'Till I'm ragged and wild
Whipped like a stepchild
Feel the soulbender - Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender - Just to see if any soul is in..
Feel the soulbender - Fear's knocking at your skin
Feel the soulbender - Bend you - Break you..

With empty eyes; Blank, like two wet stones
In search for a home; In search for a soul
Handed down on the family network
Learning how it works... - To be a jerk..
Feel the soulbender...
				

I found a way of payin' off old debts
Always make more promises, than you can break
An argument that calls for more
Ends with a cold message on the freezer's door
Where there's a will; there's a won't..
From I to "we" - but still unowned..
Read it between the lies
When someone's asking someone something
Then you're proved, that is's a dumb thing
You're telling a drowning man, not to grab for straws
I'm a kid in a rowboat, who's lost his oars..

Going through your things; but nothing's new
A wild imagination with the tightest view...
Our voodoo dolls are full of holes
- You learned by going, where you had to go
Where there's will, there's a won't..
From I to "we" - but still unowned
Read it between the lies
When someone's asking someone something
And then you're proved that it's a dumb thing
You're telling a drowning man - not to grab for straws
I'm a kid in a rowboat who's lost his oars..
Yeah, yeah..
When someone's asking someone something
And then you're proved that it's a dumb thing
Yeah! You're telling a drowning man - not to grab for straws
I'm a kid in a rowboat who's lost his oars..

'Found a way of payin' off old debts

This is the lazy quiz
And you got all the time there is
We'll spend some time on greed'n'wealth
And then some on mental-health...
No need to sweat or bite your lips..
No grand prize, cars or trips
It's knowin when to quit...
If it wasn't for me and the likes of me
And what I choose to do..
If you could tell, I'd like to know
Why you've become:
So candid unreserved'n'true

I'd rather you were I, than I were you
Candid
As if you held the truth
Sometimes honesty
Will kill the fool

Now, my word no one relies on
Never said a foolish thing..
Then again... never said a wise one
It's never what you think - it's knowing when to quit
				

Yeah, I've changed but I kept my name
To retell a joke, it won't be the same
My eyes burn new black hollow holes
My fate's revealed my future's told
Mercurychrome..
Waitin', when the wound's scraped raw
Bones...
The biggest stitches that you ever wore
Blood in blood out Feel your past unwind
Blood in blood out Through sweat'n'hair
Blood in blood out My anorexic mind
Blood in blood out Gaspin' for air

I'm all right, I'm habituated
So I tip my hand, afraid to play it..
And then my ribs goes twang
- And off they fly..
It wasn't meant for human eyes
Let it go...
Yeah, another life, another form
Slow...
But, nothing happens when it comes along
Blood in blood out Feel your past unwind
Blood in blood out Through sweat'n'hair
Blood in blood out My anorexic mind
Blood in blood out Gaspin' for air

Check my heart'n'respiration
I feel I look a little pale
I just missed another station
- I'm stepping off the carousel...
Blood in blood out...
				

Yeah, I know I'm in trouble
A case of the unkindest kind
But I resent being reminded
About what's already on my mind
When hope beats high
And I wake up with a sleepy grin
The dream I fell asleep to
Just blew up; I know I never win..
I'm prayin' to a God who always says..
I'm prayin' to a God who always says: No!
I'm down on my knees for crying out low..
I'm prayin' to a God that always says: No!!
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is nothing but the burglar alarm
Praying to a God that always says
I'm prayin' to a God that always says: No!

As if each drop of rain is tryin' to get at me
Yeah, the joke's over
And it feels as though my heart's empty
And I can't sleep from hearing
All the things I never said..
Because the dream I fell asleep to;
Is just a cloud above my head
I'm prayin' to a God who always says..
I'm prayin' to a God who always says: No!
I'm down on my knees for crying out low..

The light at the end of the tunnel
Is nothing but the burglar alarm
Praying to a God that always says
- I'm prayin' to a God that always says: No!

Yeah, I know, like a shadow when the sun is gone
And it seems the things I wait for never comes
I need someone to believe in me
Yeah, I need someone to throw blue sky at me
Praying to a God who always says
I'm prayin' to a God who always says: No!
Praying to a God who always says
Praying to a God that always says
I'm prayin' to a God who always says: No!!
Praying to a God who always says
Yeah, to a God that always says: No!
Yeah, I'm down on my knees for crying out low
I'm prayin' to a God that always says: No!!
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is nothing but the burglar alarm..
The God who always says: No!
To the God who always says: No!!
To the God who always says: No!!..
				

My tongue's tied and sliced in two
And wagging at both ends...
Yeah, I've learned to talk -
Both sides of my mouth makes sense
You'll see the skin of my teeth
But you won't see a smile
So here it is, the big truth
Hiding in the little lie...
My throw decides my aim
And with a phony voice
- Unserious to the end
As if I had a choice...
Here's my heart; my hope's drowning
Here's my eyes; the light is blinding
Here's my hands; my feet are running
Here's my head; my ass' coming ... yeah!
I'm naked but still stripping..

Luxury tends to be the same every day
But I know misery's for each in his own way..
I count on amputated fingers who I call a friend
The end is hard when brought about
By what you thought made sense...
My throw decides my aim and with a phony voice
- Unserious to the end as if I had a choice...
Here's my heart; my hope's drowning
Here's my eyes; the light is blinding
Here's my hands; my feet are running
Here's my head; my ass' coming - yeah!
I'm naked - but still stripping..

Some people live so close
To their bones; with just themselves to be
But I run around; inside myself
- Like something's after me
I take off my skin
Underneath there's nothing
Everything's gone ... A naked skeleton!
Piece of an arm piece of a leg
A piece of my tongue
And peace for everyone...
Here's my heart; my hope's drowning
Here's my eyes; the light is blinding
Here's my hands; my feet are running
Here's my head; my ass' coming ... yeah!
				

We're leaving every turn unstoned
And every lesson is unlearned..
With nothing said and nothing done
I know it works on everyone....
Because love cools and friends drift apart
Too old to be shy
But I wonder what to say
- After I said: Hi!
Are we alive here? Are we loosers are we winners
Are we alive here??
Sometimes I doubt, but if we get it all out; it's so clear
But, hey what's on for dinner?
Are we alive here?
Would you please pass the guilt...

Just like a tune on ears of stone
It will be ringing through your bones
It's the push that no one sees..
That gives a mouth of broken teeth, yeah!
Because love cools yeah, and friends drift apart
And the sky's weighed down with clouds of stone, yeah!

And the mirror stares back on a smile of it's own..
Too old to be shy and I wonder what to say - After I said: Hi!
Are we alive here? Are we loosers are we winners
Are we alive here??
Sometimes I'm in doubt, but if we get it all out it's soooo clear
But, hey what's on for dinner?
Are we alive here?
Are we alive or not - do we have nothing in our head but..
I know it's time to go now we've said hello!
Are we alive here? Are we loosers are we winners
Are we alive here??
Sometimes I doubt, but if we get it all out, it's sooo clear
But, hey what's on for dinner?
Are we alive here?
Would you please pass the guilt yeah!
Love cools yeah, and friends drift apart
And the sky's weighed down with clouds of stoooneeeehhhnnn
Are we alive here? Are we alive here?? Are we alive here???
				

There's many a difference quickly found
Between the different people walking around
But you know it's a strange illusion, chaos and confusion..
When the tree of life is cut down to where
There's nothing left, but a toothpick of despair
So instead of support you - we find it's cheaper to deport you!
I carry it over my shoulder like a lance
A pole with a banner sayin'; T-To-Tolerance!!
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright

Some have more than some will ever get
A farewell to arms; a farewell to legs
You know it'll only get worse, when it stops getting better!.
The smell of a dozen countries cooking
The whole beserk package on end while you're looking
There'll be no red light that stops us when the road is ending

I carry it over my shoulder like a lance
A pole with a banner sayin'; T-To-Tolerance!!
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright

Yeah, It'swhenit'swrongit'sright!
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
It'swhenit'swrongit'sright
- It's all wrong; but that's all-right!!
				

Small ideas on little minds
Many fish of many kinds
Easy cash'n'lots of leisure
Above primal law; the prize of pleasure
It pulls you down
It's perfectly clear
There's an end
To even the worst career...
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
And though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat...

All talk of taste's beside the point
Shift your ideas; make up your mind
- Did you know fun, was this much work
If there's a cost, is it still worth it...
But, I declare each one a friend!
And take day by day untill the end..
Everybody knows it's up'n'down
But here it's forth'n'back..
And though money makes the world go around
It often makes it flat..
It often makes it flat-

Though money makes the world go around

Hey, I'm the guy there on the wall and I'm all dismembered parts
Yeah, I got not arms or legs: So go ahead and call me - Art!
I'm a stick of dynamite and I'm smiling with delight
And it's o.k. - 'coz, they all stay away when you need them the most
Serving up another dream into everybody's empty heads
Stirring up another scene into everybody's empty heads
Whipping up another style into everybody's empty heads
Hoping that it brings a smile on everybody's vacant face..

And now I'm floating in the sea. 'Coz I'm the guy that lost his job
Yeah, I lost my arms & legs, so go ahead and call me: Bob!!
I'm a stick of dynamite and I'm smiling with delight
And it's o.k. - 'coz, they all stay away when you need them the most
Serving up another dream into everybody's empty heads
Stirring up another scene into everybody's empty heads
Whipping up another style into everybody's empty heads
Hoping that it brings a smile on everybody's vacant face..
				

That's where you go, yeah. It's the home of the uprooted
It's here and there Hey, I got both feet planted solid in the air
Hard to know, yeah, if you're dead or you're just too slow
But I should have known, but I was confused
And that you're innocent until you're abused
I stare at the frame 'coz the mirror hangs too low
And here's a man who never says No!
Simpatico! Wherever you go.. Simpatico! You're a one man show
Simpatico! Wherever you go.. Simpatico!

It's time to explain, I head I haven't heard you right...
What's in your head - see I got no idea; 'coz my party's inside!
I stare at the frame 'coz the mirror hangs too low
And here's a man, who never says: no!
Simpatico! Wherever you go. Simpatico! You're a one man show
Simpatico! Wherever you go.. Simpatico! You're a one man show
Simpatico! Simpatico! Simpatico! Simpatico!
				

Gently my eyelids close, I'd rather be good than clever
I'd rather have all facts wrong than no reply whatever..
I learned before I could speak with those "being patient eyes"
When God created my kind. But he forgot to tell me why
So gently my eyelids close..
All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had...

Led by hearts & ears - memory lagging behind
No shame being a fool, I got many things on my mind
Pick up the phone on first riiiing - I never get out anymore..
There's nowhere to go, but back and there's quicksand outside my door
So gently my eyelids close
All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had.. I lost it - I lost it. Yeah!
Is that a shadow - or a hole in the floor?
And what's that noise outside my door??
Home alone. On my own.. And all alone...
				

For tomorrows unpaid fears - now I'm seeing future years
It's not death - it's hell I fear - Yeah, but still I come and go
What I pay to see the show - Yeah, right now it's all I know
'Coz in all those cloudy hours when your demons seize your brain
Yeah, you think, you're going crazy, but I'm going back again..
Yeah, I'm going back again

Yeah, moving walls of sound up to my neck, but I can't drown.
The rooms so small I can't fall down. I'm feeling lose,
But never free noone but myself to be. Oh, I wish you were like me
'Coz in all those cloudy hours when your demons seize your brain
Yeah, you think you're going crazy, but then you're coming back again
Yeah, in all those cloudy hours. see it's a game within the game
Yeah, I felt that I'd gone crazy - I'm going back again..
Yeah, in all those cloudy hours when a demon seized my brain
Yeah, I falt that I'd gone crazy - But I'm coming back again
Yeah, I'm coming back, I'm coming back again...
				

I need to be afraid, said the kindweak man
As he lay cuddled up in his bed with those whispers around his head
Yeah, he'd come to nothing in a way - in a way that left him
With nothing to say but: o.k.! Yeah, his eyes only worked one way
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
And the thing that destroys you, is that you had the answers right here
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
I told you I told you I hate to say I told you so..

Old scars, but the cuts were new, said the girl, who loved many
But trusted a few, yeah, it's true - 'coz she feared anyone new
She lend out her feelings of pure affection, he kept the collection
And the missing piece of her heart - Yeah, her eyes only looked that far
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
And the thing that destroys you, is that you had the answers right here
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
I told you I told you I hate to say I told you so..

There's murder going on inside...
Yeah, 'coz you only see so much through the human eye
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
And the thing that destroys you, is that you had the answers right here
There's no such thing as paranoia, it's always twice as bad as you fear
I told you I told you I hate to say I told you so..
				

Mr. Smarty held a party - Yeah, and noone came then his brother
Held another - Guess what? - Yeah, just the same!
Still so common, no matter how hard they try.
Eat the dead; but leave the wounded... Yeah!
I can take it, and I don't take it personally
The eye turned inwards of the inside world - way too many parties &
Way too many pals - Hey, I could be falling, yeah! But, I'm fine
And if I should roll over - I don't mind - I'll need a coca-cola
And they don't hear me. So they don't answer back

Listening for the cry to match the cry inside of me
Levis & Lee - they're never as blue as me
Just came to tell you, I got pissed on my way here
Letting go of all stern warnings, yeah - and it's weird
Trying to be different - not a chance - get back on my quadrant
And they don't hear me, so they don't answer back
They don't listen, so they don't answer back
Yeah, they don't hear me, so they don't answer back
				

Making the the worst of a bad situation with an ants patience and a fleas strength
Like a kid about to squash an insect - I'll break it down and build it up again
Yeah, mad days to shut out the pain - the 7 sins - the sorrows seven
You seek wild friendships, but never a friend - it's always mad days to shut out pain

If you can't have all; have some more of the bitter best or the sugared worst
Yeah, the blackest night on another planet - a hand out of space; picking you up
You seek wild friendships, but never a friend - it's always mad days to shut out pain

It's the same situation - same head - my eyes are fire-engine red
Staring at a hole through space - the pain goes away - the wound stays...
When love is a nothing place - dive into: mad days...
				

Right now no song on the radio could be too stupid for my heart
Wind me up and let me walk...
I've got no strategy but to suck up the sear and tear the earth apart
Man like dog can be taught not to talk..
Yeah, those who remember me as half good company
As a man who saved himself through irony
- Don't tell me anything - if I hear a secret - I'll burst
Don't tell me anything - unless you wanna hear the worst
I'll never tell anyone what they haven't already heard
Don't tell me anything - if I smell a secret: I'll burst...

My tongue just wanna get rid of the truth - yeah, it's one big misery
And then right here, where silence's king
It goes against the grain of who I thought I was
A bird drops in and I start to sing
I bump into furniture and step on peoples feet
And I say the things I shouldn't say to those I meet...
So don't tell me anything - if I hear a secret - I'll burst
Don't tell me anything - unless you wanna hear the worst
I'll never tell anyone what they haven't already heard
Don't tell me anything - if I smell a secret: I'll burst...

Yeah, those who remember me as half good company
As a man who saved himself through irony
- Subtleties... It's a mean attack of honesty !
- Don't tell me anything - unless you wanna hear the worst
I'll never tell anyone what they haven't already heard
Don't tell me anything - if I hear a secret - I'll burst
- Yeah, don't tell me anything - if I smell a secret: I'll burst...
				

You hunt the smartest animal and that's the human being
You don't know how smart man is - smarter than he seems...
Their fathers groin that breeds'em, their mothers breast that feeds'em
Yeah, the do - Yeah, they do...

To be childish keeps you young, but to be treated like a child
Makes you old too soon - Haven't spent time with Jesus to know if that's true
Our fathers backs that leaves us, our mothers arms that needs us
Yeah, they do - Yeah, they do...

Keep that in mind next time that you do what I've just done

I heard a cold advice: pick on someone your own size
And that leaves you, and rules out me.. 'Coz it's a kick in the head
Hey, everybody said, I didn't turn the other cheek
You think I'm weird. How weird are you?
Do you get tired when people stare?? Hey, I know, I do...
It's the way life is right now - I get up at dawn; I fall down at night
It's the way life is right now - I hope that noone sees my frightened smile

I fly around like a bee and everything you do - I see
Yeah, I see you when you're weak - but with my head on my spine
I go to yours and you go to mine - the world's rocking under my feet
As though the present's never here
Hey, hey.. It's always last week and it's always next year
It's the way life is right now - I get up at dawn; I fall down at night
It's the way life is right now - I hope that noone sees my frightened smile

It's hard to do - too hard to take - I'm pretty scared and very wide awake
I see the road, not the turns ahead - so I say...
It's the way life is right now - I get up at dawn; I fall down at night
It's the way life is right now - I hope that noone sees my frightened smile
It's the way life is right now and I'm seeing things in a different light

What if tomorrow wasn't there - never a next week
Never just another year - Yeah, like time just disappear
It's the way life is right now...................... I heard a cold advice:
Pick on someone your own size and that leaves you and rules out me..
				

Rich & free, and a life beyond worries
Time like words can be wasted too much
Tried to cut his own wrist with an electric razor
It's a disease no doctor will touch
Maybe it's now or forever, now or forever
See that's how when you point your finger
That everytime that you throw dirt, you lose a little ground

What not to do & how not to do it
Back when being wild, still meant drinking beers
It's written on the back of his shirt: He don't have to work!
You can call him all day - But he just won't hear...
Maybe it's now or forever, now or forever
See that's how when you point your finger
If later is never, then now is forever, now or forever
Every time you throw dirt, you lose a little ground

Now or forever, I know I'm not wiser & I'm not better
But why do you point your finger
Everytime you throw dirt, you lose a little ground
Now or forever, now or forever
See that's how when you point your finger
That everytime that you throw dirt, you lose a little ground
				

An empty plate for love & hate, so hungry like they never ate
And if you fight, noone fights back - 200 killings
Now I know that death is wearing black
A hand that holds me without strength - a hand that touches me without weight

The troops of love are flying out - very angry, very loud
- You can see it from the air - when you get hit,
You don't know where, and nothings seems fair
A hand that holds me without strength a hand that touches me without weight

And with no flag left to defend - a hand that pushes me
Anything as long as you touch me - Touch me - touch me - touch me
				

I keep moving into myself
I keep all my hate to myself
I keep the polaroids of my hell
I keep all my hope to myself

Days when life does man a favor
Days when everything glows
Days when luck is handed over
Still my eyes are closed

Days when life just grabs your shoulder
Days when everything flow
Luck has found its rightful owner
Still my eyes are closed..

I know that your eyes are on fire
I know that your ears are on me
And because my thinking is quiet
I'm the calm and deep blue sea

Days when life does man a favor...

Days when life just grabs your shoulder...
				

I let a lie come true
I even cared enough to lie
Recieve what I transmit
And slowly close your eyes
Yeah, to unlock your locked up love
And set it free
You need a complicated key
You need a key as big as me ..

You were almost on my mind
Yeah, and though I'm doing just fine
I've hurt myself in many ways
Back in nineteenhundredandyesterday
Yeah, I think of you every time
Every time I leave it behind -
Back in nineteenhundredandyesterday

And when I lie in bed
And I'm going through the day
What's been done and said
It slips into my head
You open up one door
And then you're faced with many more
Yeah, I know all of them well
I keep my questions to myself

You were almost on my mind ...

Hey, I thought I wanted it
I thought I needed it
To unlock your locked up love
You left the key and then you walked off

You were almost on my mind ...
				

Like a roach in a sink, I was fighting the water
I fell on my back down the drain
I'd drown you'd think but no sooner than later
I was back on my feet again
Yeah, I crawled on the streets, looking up at the buildings
And often I hid my face
I paced among feet, your floor was my ceiling
But now I live like I own the place

On the road below me
I smile at the joys of travelling
On the road below me
I can handle almost everything
On the road below me
First I was sad; but now I'm free
On the road below me
The distance from here to a memory

Every day was a mountain, the fear of what hid
Inside of the timeworn phrases
I went from pale to gray, from being shut away
And now I can't resist new faces
Days become weeks, yeah, March becomes May
Looking back at my sleepless nights
But, hey, I'm built for trouble and I can take a lot
And I can safely say: "I'm allright"!

On the road below me ... Allright!

You know wonders are wonderful
-Even when they are being asked for..
Yeah, we just don't know
What life has in store for us..
Because the moral of this is immoral
And the moral escapes me now...

On the road below me ...
				

Do you really think that you're lost?
And that you'll never find the way
Learn the secrets of the woods
See the picture if you could
You grow a little every day
And now I'm grown and I look like you
Who'd ever know - how I turned out
But, I'm grown, and I look like you
I look like someone I never knew..

Speak while your lips are trembling
Talk to me when I'm listening
Finally someone said something good

We grow a little every day
And now I'm grown and I look like you
Like a voice that fills out the room
How do you know when you've grown up?
When you tie yourself down and give yourself up.

Speak while your lips are trembling
Talk to me when I'm listening
Finally someone said something good
Because we're leaving nothing
But moments of belonging
Finally someone said something good
Finally someone said something good
In the end someone says something good..
				

It's far too big
For my feet to step by
The heart of standing is:
-I cannot fly!
I'm so involved
I can't give it up..
I don't feel like winning,
Though I'm on top

See where it takes you
And where it takes me
Either homefires burning
Or we both go free..

Bigger than ever
The sun is a star
Hold me together
I'm flying apart, yeah!

You got a way
To keep me on your side
You make me so small,
I stand sideways and hide

See where it takes you...

Bigger than ever ...

See where it takes you
And where it takes me
Either homefires burning
Or we both go free, yeah!

Bigger than ever...
				

Just like an indian
I chant and dance around
A shiny new room
With a shiny new sound

Today I woke up screaming
-Hello, my evil twin
Who's the old and boring
Like a change of skin
Yeah, I tried forever
Forever is like chains
Now the chain is torn
Inside this quiet form
Is a roaring thunderstorm

Friends stopped by
Left when they learned
All having wasted, time and concern

Today I woke up screaming...

Yeah, I'm for longer living
And I'm for laughing loud
Now I'm the kind of person
I warned myself about!.

Yeah, today I woke up screaming ...
				

When the day goes into itself
And into my veins
And your hands are caught with mine
You are in my veins
A breeze in the curtains of time
Silhouettes of people in line
Yeah, while the chill wind blows
You're in my veins

Attacks and strategies are new
Rearranging my attitudes to you

Yeah, I fear that things aren't as good as I hoped
Yeah, I hear through the phone, that you sound so remote
No, I don't cry - it's just a candybar stuck in my throat
I just choked - Yeah, I just choked

I'm liquid - whenever you're near
I'm in your veins
Not the same alone so I fear..
I'm in your veins
So strong that you have no wish
You're safe from enemies
But I know where you go
I'm in your veins
Attacks and strategies...

Yeah, when you said it - you didn't mean today
Surely you said it - but, you meant yesterday
Some other time you said, jokingly,
The hope in me - awoke in me..
Choke - hey, I just choked

Yeah, I fear...
				

Like a trip in luxury
A little ship with you and me
We won the lottery
We sail on silver into the sunset
And we'll live to be a hundred

A kiss between the legs - I wonder how
Just a kiss - A kiss makes it better
A kiss between the legs - yeah, somehow
One day it's chicken, the next day it's feathers
A kiss between the legs. Yeah
-Whenever you find what you seek
It's "Be kind to clitoris-week"!!
Oh la-la-la.

On a journey ruled by love
A little luck and true romance
Your ticket you'll find..
Is booked and paid for in advance
So put it back in your pants
A kiss between the legs...

Deep in your eyes I see
that you are life to me
If you're the kind that wait
Please hear my wish, grant me my request:
-I want to live between your breasts!!

A kiss between the legs...

Yeah, whenever you build a home
-Build it around her moan.. Oh la-la-la
				

When my soul is in pain
I'm going away
Going away, yeah, we're both going our ways
You want me to come along
But, I'm not coming undone
It's never going to be the same again

Come and see my fingernails are growing
The woman at the store recall my name
Yeah, I'm sorry if I was coming on as a burden
I'm never going to be the same again

I had to bring it up
A small complaint
Bring it up and moving on
We'll meet again..
So goodbye my absent friend
Don't know where - don't know when
It's never going to be the same again

Come and see my fingernails are growing...
				

A pigeon in a wet tree
On a blind day
I keep away from the ice
It's a "frozen earth day"
Froze time, froze place
Froze my tongue in between a yes & a no.
Sparrows in a line, rainclouds wander
I got nowhere to go..

Because my head's full of leaves
I'm naked like the trees
I'm making old October talk;
But all I do is crawl..
Won't you summer me soon
Yeah, won't you summer me soon

If the sun would rise behind a grey sky
I would fear for each step
That a tree would burst out of my mind
Mashed on the sidewalk
Grey snow in the recent rain
Serves to remind me
That winter is back here again

Because my head's full of leaves
I'm naked like the trees
In the cold November breeze
I just stand here and freeze
Won't you summer me soon
Won't you summer me soon
Won't you summer me soon
Won't you summer me soon
'Coz I just stand here and freeze
Won't you...
				

There's a fine line between to use and to spend
There's a fine line between being important and impotent
Pull off my pants, lean against the wall
Roll my eyes; I cannot come at all..

As common as - a long stretched limousine
As common as - a glossy magazine
As common as - the places I've been seen
As common as - as common as

A 1000 nights a 1000 days
Are bitter pills time can't erase
When I'll be able to walk, and not scare anyone
When no news is bad news, if that day will ever come

As common as ...

As heavy as bad luck, as cold as snow
As common as: A T.V. show
The way of getting the fame
The money, and the girl

As common as - the way you want the world!
As common as...
				

Wrong words
Out of confusion
Yeah, I risk losing
The flesh you wear so well
And lost words
Eating away with no patience
Noone mentions
Our hearts like a small machine
And giving
And finding the place where your soul is
It's just that I know this
It's near the wound - it's near the pain
Listen
To the warm red water
Making me smaller
And soft as tears - soft as rain

I'm finally on my knees
The stupid pride recedes
Baby, I'm all ears..
Finally
I hear every word you're sayin'
Baby, I'm a soft dog at your feet

Wrong turns
Maybe I ordered
But, you followed
Me straight to hell
And wild words
Like I know what I'm doing
Like I know who I'm using
I can never tell..
Changes
The kiss of life that I'm giving
I've been afraid for no reason
Again this feels like home

I'm finally ...

Yeah, it's nothing but spoken words
But, it's the words that hurts
And some will never be said again ..
Mistakes, we'll quickly forget it
The one false line, I really regret it
Because the original scratch remains
				

Your heart's been fired
Your blood is tired
Oh, your mind's a riot
And you need a bed..
You're emptyminded
Yeah, you're way behind it
Yeah, you've been blinded
You're a silhouette
And yeah.. you've changed
And most of your friends
Yeah, believe you're strange
Cuz, you can't forget
You wonder how rotten
Your love live's gotten
Cuz, all of a sudden
Something's wrong ..
What's the matter?
The blues got ya!!

Yeah, what's the matter?
You're looking sadder
What happens after..??
The blues got you..
I thought you had her
Now, where's your laughter?
Yeah, what's the matter?
The blues got you.!

Maybe you wanted to dumb her
But, in the midst of your slumber
Uh, you lost the number
Of the place you love the most...
Now you look in all places
Among familiar faces
But, you run out of traces
Yeah, you run out of road..
So, you're standing still
With more than time to kill
You gotta wait untill..
A new way shows..
You see how it changed you
How it slowly estranged you
Solely arranged you
Right into a ghost....

Yeah, what's the matter.?
You're lookin' sadder
What happens after..?
The blues got you..
I thought you had her
Now, where's your laughter?
Yeah, what's the matter?
The blues got ya'..

Your heart is fired
Your blood is tired
And your mind's a riot
Hey, you need a bed
Hm, you're emptyminded
Hey, you're way behind it
Hey, you've been blinded
Yeah, you're a silhouette
Yeah, what's the matter?
				

Yeah, the thruth is
Over and over I know
Slower and slower things grow
It might not be pretty I know
But, the change is happening slow
You've found a pitifull tongue
Yeah, it translates what you've become
Worse than crazy - you're dumb..!

So, I say see ya
I wouldn't wanna be ya'
Everything is clearer
The truth about you..
You got noone to lie to
Noone there to cry to
I just want to say goodbye to..
- The truth about you..

The truth is..
Love arrives and it dies
Old darknesses, childhood lies..
We all got our own disguise
I just wish you'd be more of a surprise
Until I'm gone and all grown
I'll always want someone to own
But, with you - I just want to be alone

I don't mind the coming down
It's the way it's got to be
I only hope I'm left inside
				

Wonder when the sun will set today
People don't care either way
Some are lookin' for work
Or slaving away
Another golden autumn day
See the fallen leaves are dollar bills
And everyone's a millionaire

I will keep away from morning's grey
A private sun is shining down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
A golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers

Golden way
Golden nights
and days..

We look in all places
Where it might be near
Make the noise
It likes to hear..
The part that doesn't age
Drifting back to childhood ways

I will keep away from the morning's grey
A private sun smiles down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
The golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers
Of all the golden mornings
Spelled with golden letters
Upon a gold arrival
Golden dreams for strangers

Golden way
Golden nights
And days
				

I was jealous of the photographs
Taken before you met me..
In the sun and with someone
Happy on a strange beach
Don't think I wanna pull you down
Or hold you so you can't move
You know all that keeps me here
Is what glows around you..

So what if we've seen each other naked
So what if you've thrown that glass right at my head
And what if a bomb is ticking under our bed
If it's all for love
Yeah, if it's all for love

Just give me last night's dreams
I'll make it work for tomorrow
Yeah, with all the truth we've seen
I'm wondering what it's all for
Can't make my fears go away
Lookin' for rules and signs
What we have; we got to believe
- Believe it everytime..

So what if we've seen each other naked
So what if you've thrown that glass right at my head
And what if a bomb is ticking under our bed
If it's all for love
Yeah, if it's all for love
				

Yeah, I left my past
I hitchhiked away from bad times
Now I try to get used to
The freedom to speak what's on my mind
When it turn to tears ... I wonder why
- The dreams were under my pillow
But, there are no answers
Yeah, love is a riddle

Yeah, so many times
When I complain about life
I'm unsatisfied
I guess it's not about the car that I drive
- Or the house I can't buy
It's dry tears that I cry
I know that all I need is
That it's easy and free
Between you and me

Yeah, tear down my littlewall
And drag me away from old trouble
I feel there's a hand now
That keeps me from gettin' too close today

Yeah, so many times...
				

Sometimes in my parents house
In which I came to exist
The alert like look in their eyes
Still nothing was said
Yeah, the big and scary unknown
I didn't dare, even guess..
Some day calls out for me to be alone
To fly where the other days has flown
Outthere - outthere
To find a thought that wasn't thought upon
To go where the other days has gone
Outthere - outthere
Outthere - outthere

When everyone agrees with you
But, you know you're wrong..
When everyone embraces you
But, you know you don't belong
Still feel the shadow behind
Even when the sun is gone
Some day calls out for me ...

Yeah, I look in the mirror
Yeah, I look in the mirror
But, the mirror is bare
I look for my mouth
But, my mouth isn't there..!
I go to the window
I want to shout
But, below my nose
Nothing comes out
I'll never ever whistle
And there's noone to kiss..
What I'll eventually say..
Noone will miss...
				

Enter the dreamhouse
Leave your history at the door
This place is for heroes
Like it's never been before
Don't guess a future
You don't know how or where it'll end
Senseless 'n' needless..
Maybe we'll learn to sleep again

It changes everyhting
But in the wrong direction
It changes everything
And what we turn into
Love conquers all
But evil won today
It changes everything
It changes everything .....

The world's falling to pieces
A sound so loud; it fades out slow
I've got nowhere to take you
Maybe except where I might go
The sky will be full now
Of money talking bombs
Carving their headlines
Just before the next one comes

It changes everything ...

Like birds that aren't in cages
They fly about on wings
Keep you awake forever
A dream that's constantly steady

It changes everything
				

Lying low now - yeah, for a year or two
And I mean it - untill the week is through
Just myself now - and the stains to be explained
Phone and cancel - stay in and be a saint
But, a whistle - and I'm like a dog again ..
Celebrating - yeah, it's great to stay up late

One kick in the head
I was asking for it
Une frappe sur la tête
I've been begging for it
Yeah, a slap in the face
Yeah, famous last words

Every nightmare turns out to be the same
Through the forest - I'm howling out my name

In my bedroom - the dogs won't catch the fox
I've got business - a bit more than I thought
But, I ain't talking - I don't know what it's about
I hold my hand out - yeah I'm such a naughty boy

One kick in ...

Everybody - should know about my curse
But, I say talking, will only make it worse
Keep me quiet - whispers in my mouth
Come and watch me! Like cats around a mouse
I need a punchline - to bring the house down..
All my old ones - will make you cry n turn around

One kick in ...
				

Walking through the city
Without eying anyone ..
Don't want their vibes through my skin
The hair on my back rises
Silently it wins..
Now, I'm feeling everything
Yeah, it's funny how the pain goes away
But, it's comin' back another day
Yeah, it's slowly creepin' up
See, I haven't felt a thing within
Then wake up in this mood again
All the new ideas are gone

Is it true . I'm blue all over
From pointing at myself
Is it true now that it's over
I should have checked myself instead
... Checked myself instead

Yeah, with this journey
From my room out through the door
Down the stairs into the street
Forgotten is forgotten
Everything's returned
And someone is forgetting me
				

Can you ask a big jet to listen
Wave goodbye to the cares of the day
A million mirrors turning their heads now
Lose the ground; we're up and away..
A secret bag for passports and cash
A bottle of aspirin® to chew in the crash
A lift into the silence above
It's allright, let's fly.!

Hey little airplane.!
Do you know where you're going to take me?
Hey little airplane.!
You know you're always getting it your way.!

Balanced on the tip of the mountain
Unknown people all around
Don't uou think that we've been up for too long?
Still, I'll never want to come down..
But, it's all a false solution
Back to rags and revolution
One place is as bad as another
Oh, man.. We're gonna land.!

Hey, little airplane
Do you know where you're going to take me?
Hey, little airplane
Do you know you're always gettin' it your way!
Hey, little airplane
Do you know where you're gonna take me?

Above the clouds
It's a beautyful day forever
Above the clouds
The day will last forever

Hey, little airplane ...
				

When I close my eyes
Strange things begin
It's hard to follow
It's hard to win
With a stretch of purple
Like I'm in a daze
A weakened signal
On it's way..
I see familiar clouds go by
I'm underneath a ceiling sky

Yeah, I'm falling in love with all humankind
If you love me now I won't change my mind
Yeah, I'm falling in love with all humankind
There's noone to blame - the fault is mine
(The fault is mine..)

Yeah, a shock of horror
When the way is clear
My best days
Is when I shake with fear
When my risks are those
I hardly dare to take
I need courage
To stay awake
				

Wide eyed
Open mouthed
Blank faced
Low clouds
Long walk
Up from hell
But I came back
Back unbent
What it means
Is that I'm good
That much
Is understood
But all in the room
Is dark because
Life is no longer what it was

Lawrence of Suburbia
Real life is murder
Wake up from Utopia
On it again
All aboard the moneytrain

Everyday
As a rule
I'm distant
I'm cool
Not the same
As before
I've folded up suicide
In four
But this dirty sun
Shining down
Pierce the dark
And the sound
All you'll see
Is a tightlipped smile
On a scared little man
As the train runs wild...

Lawrence of....
				

Somebody mentioned a new start
Keeping me off of the old track
Try and take showers in Prozac
Just to see how fast
I close the door to the past
I used to be looking for a reason
I used to have time to explain
Now I'm going to fast for conditions
Outta my lane - I'm going too fast to change

If it's a good day to give it up
Then I surrender
Call it a day and call the cops
Repeat offender...

Never had trouble with balance
Wasn't a thing I couldn't fit
I used to be up for the challenge
From a hero a monster to a great piece of shit

If it's a good day to give it up
Then I surrender
Call it a day and call the cops
Repeat offender...
If it's a good day to give it up,
If there was someone to make me stop,
If there's a good way to call it off
Then I surrender....

Do you still take part yeah do you still have dreams in this frozen state
You're robbed of a future that always yeah always arrives too late...
				

You scare yourself with the future
Yeah its hollow chest seems full
No room for rebellion
You only see the strings that pull
Scared into boredom
Yeah 'coz the things that tempt your fate
Just grows into trouble
Both some old and some up to date
Scare yourself into empty space
A distant star above the human race
Scare yourself about the getting down
'coz when you look down you never left the ground

Scare yourself into darker nights
Scare yourself on how you live your life
Scare yourself far away from the light
Today is the worst day of your life...

You're too afraid to remember
You know you're going to dream what you saw
But you will not be listening
To what it says but for the knock on the door
Scare yourself up against the wall
Your face is white from a voice that calls
You're the trap and the bait as well
You're so smart you're gonna scare yourself

Scare yourself into darker nights
Scare yourself on how you live your life
Scare yourself about the getting down
'Cause when you look down, Yeah when you look down
You never left the ground...
You never left the ground...
You never left the ground...
You never left..

(Guitar solo)

(Whispered) Scare yourself into darker nights
Scare yourself on how you live your life
Scare yourself far away from the light
Today is the worst day of your life...

Scare yourself
Scare yourself
Scare yourself into darker nights
Scare yourself on how you live your life
Scare yourself about to getting down
'Cause when you look down
Yeah when you look down
You never left the ground...
You never left the ground...
You never left the ground...
You never left the ground.
				

You're money
You're wellearned property
You own yourself your three-fifths
Of a plan
You're in good use
You know what you're worth
And it's true when tomorrow comes
We're all in an unknown land

You're no hero
You're just a misfit like us all
Sometimes we don't know
Which way to turn

I'm a bankloan
I rent this place I call home
I got no car
Cuz I got no gas for the tank
The cost of living is high
I kiss my savings good bye
While your money is living in the bank

You're no hero
You're just a misfit like us all
Sometimes we don't know
Which way to turn
You've never seen sunshine
Unless you've really seen the rain
I'm not jealous of your life my friend

What we've been given
Is an offer we can't resist
At terms that we're unable to believe
Who's who when we're through
We cannot tell
When we're standing on the roof
Looking up into hell
				

My feet were in London
My head in the clouds
And I'm constantly moving
With the holiday crowds
This happy future
Is a thing of the past
I watch the day ending
I watch shadows pass the city's
Arriving I begin to feel fine
Then the city sits down
And I go out of my mind
I've ended up taking
The longest way home
I'm cool but I'm all alone

Hey now I'm out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There's nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad

Enough for one day now
The edge of the world
Look at the frontpage
And what it did to the girl
Her shit was together
Her feet on the ground
Now it's sounding like zippers
As the dryer goes round
To the man with the most
Whose face never changes
Enough for one day now
Yeah - I'm cool

Hey now I'm out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There's nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad hey hey
Just hear what I say
I take the blame
But not the pain pain pain
				

Emotional morons
Knows from instinct what to do
The winds are northern
This is the sound we persue
You never know it
What we carry around inside
We never show it
But we carry it for life
Down on the square
All my friends are there

Camping in Scandinavia
We don't mind
Camping in Scandinavia
When the sun don't shine
You'll see it upon arrival
We've been beautiful 'n' suicidal
Camping in Scandinavia
We don't mind

Smoke is rising a sattelite
For every tent in the snow
Of the TV in cities of 70's cement civilisation...
No real need for a God hybernation.
We all wake up by March
Down on the square
All my friends are there 
				

I hope my mind is like a parachute
I hope it opens on time
I know the same as I knew before
All is lost inside
I know that I must turn and strip
All the armour from my heart
I must stop all this
From going wrong
It mustn't show on the outside
A broken brain
With the truth
To be as bad as it takes
Yeah to be a true saint
In the name of the unexplained
Ain't gonna give 'em no rest
This is serious business
In the name of the unexplained
I know that life's real mystery
Maybe further out than death
If I know everything about the world
I wish I knew a little less
We all stare at the ground
Hands in pockets going round 'n' round
Abuse and irony hurting me
The blisters on my tongue
The shamefaced shuffle
The tightlipped smile
Taste your medicine
I know who I am
And so do you
It just goes round and round
I know my mind
Is like a hurricane
And I will blow you all away
				

Little addict
Worst I've seen
For your own good
Don't get mean
If I seem distant
C'mon guess who moved
It's your own existence
No excuse
Won't you tell me
What you find
When you get a life
And start shaping your mind
Then I'll tell you
What I see
When you do it for money
You'll never do it for free
Yeah you had it too close to the bone
You're perfect
When you're not stoned

Tell me how it feels
To be in your shoes
With your natural gift
For hiding the truth
When the world outside is slowing
You stop yourself from growing
Won't you tell me
What you find
Little addict
Too close to the bone
You're perfect
When you're not stoned 
				

Mr Hyde Mr Hyde
You stare at me at the stoplight
Mr Hyde Mr Hyde
Something ain't exactly right
You see it's doom
And it's gloom
Instead of hopes
Instead of dreams
The glittering stardom
Is never what it seems

Living a dirty fairytale
Noone stops you
Like you stop yourself
Living a dirty fairytale
Noone stops you

Mr Hyde Mr Hyde
My head is under my arm now
It's just my animal side
Don't really mean you no harm
If it's bad or if it's wrong
See I'm really not asking
I just wanna see what I've done
Coz now it hurts when I'm laughing
				

Sometimes when I'm dreaming
Heading to god knows where
Thats when it hits me
It seems I'm already there
But there's no forgiving
In the silence of my mind
Nothing is living
Nothing there to go round

If this is what it looks like
When the worlds gonna end
Then it's allright allright
If this is what it feels like
Then I do it again
Cuz it's allright allright
Yeah I know that I'm glad it's over
What comes next maybe worse
If this is what it looks like
When the worlds gonna end
Then I'm allright

Yeah I'm allright

I've tried to be humble
I've tried to be proud
My world is cracked open
And I'm slowly leaking out
I call on an angel
Who often saved my life
Nobody sees us
When we're swimming through the crowd

If this is what it looks like
When the worlds gonna end
Then it's allright allright
If this is what it feels like
Then I do it again
Cuz it's allright allright
Yeah I know that I'm glad it's over
What comes next maybe worse
If this is what it looks like
When the worlds gonna end
Then I'm allright

Yeah I'm allright
Allright
Yeah I'm allright

There's ways there means
To shatter your dreams
I lost the attention
if you know what I mean
I just letting go
Melting away
I finally see I'm on the last day
But I'm allright

Yeah I'm allright

If this is what it looks like
When the worlds gonna end
Then I'm allright allright allright
Yeah I know that I'm glad it's over
What comes next maybe worse
If this is what it looks like
When the worlds gonna end
Then I'm allright

Yeah I'm allright
Allright
Yeah I'm allright
Allright
				

Suppose I've got no direction
But continue I must
I've gotta use the gift
In my possesion
Though the reason is lost
It's like a big bad seed
In my head now
It's like a germ that infects
It's a plant that's taking over
And growing
It's a thing that I must do to exist
I need the attention
Like a cat in a tree
Becoming the monkey
And you wanna be me
Yeah I lost the last chance to change
Yeah I lost the last chance to change

I'm tangled up in indescision
With or without a good plan
Leaping forward without a mission
Into a sea of waving hands
What is the truth
For a tired old joke
If it's handgrenade humour
I'll wash my mouth with soap
Yeah I lost the last chance to change
We lost the last chance to change 
				

I tell myself what I already told me
Told myself 'bout a dozen times
See it's like I'm in someone Who hates me
I'm looking out through His eyes
Tell you what I got no legs to stand on
I keep screaming at the messenger
I know thinking got me into this mess now
But can it get me out of here...

I threw myself out a 1000 times
To seperate body from mind
But you know I didn't give a damn
I'm gonna be just who I am

Standing on the curb I'm a one man party
I think it's over but I know it's not
Screaming all the things I don't wanna know about me
Like I recieved a postcard from god
Some need a wild and mythic idol
To represent their boring lives
All I got is this indigenous cycle
It's all me, myself and I

Even the most terrible battles
You leave some places untouched
If my whole world is upside down
I'll come around – I must...
				

I need a time machine mr. Wells
I'm on top of the world
But it should have been someone else
It feels like I died in an accident
Without time to be afraid or to suffer
My soul just left

I can't even tell you what I've seen
I can't even tell you where I've been

Waking up from living your dreams
NIGHTMARES IN THE DAYTIME
When everything is as it seems
But you're paying it no mind
Let me tell you right away,
First they come,
Then they stay,
Never slip away...

My house is empty I don't care
My world sits on nothing it just hangs in the air
And when the only light is the sun
It's a desperate day and I wonder what I've become

With things to remember to forget
Don't even know whats left to save

Lived by the rules
And going insane
All my ghosts turned into real men
Art was dead
And I'd been a saint
Until last night it happened again
Back to the time
When the beast barked
				

Yeah there's a difference
The eye can barely see
You can be so charming
When you want something from me
The way that my dream's kicked around
The sky is so blue, but it's red all over the ground
Still it's a difference
But I see...

They call you famous
But people think you're insane
You're really just faceless
It's only a role you play

A lot of confusion
In what to believe
Is it a sin or a weakness
When nothing new appeals
Still when you ask how I feel
I need to send out a message
I'm ready to kill
Confrontations
The eye can barely see
But I see...

I have lived too long
In a different world
How do spacemen land
Without getting hurt
And all we ever wanted
Was put into silent stone
It's too deep for me
To cross alone...
				

You and me together
Set sails in perfect weather
The ship was hip
No giant wave could bring us down
And if you wanna be loved
You live and learn
Gotta be quick to love in return

Because there'll be trouble too
And one of them is you...

We're so beautyful together
But only one of us is in love
Nothing that you treasure,
Is gonna last 4ever
If only one of us is in love...

And weren't we the revolution
That almost happened
Around confusion
Weren't we there
Before time and work
Destroyed our youth
Now we trumpet our intensions
It feels like limitations

I don't mind being wrong
But this time I know I'm dead on...

Do you wanna know
Do you wanna know a secret dream
Do you wanna know a common
Secret dream
That you could pass the shame,
The blame and just yell
That it's you, yourself
And noone else
Because all the trouble you see
Most of the trouble's in meee..!

We're so beautiful together
But only one of us in love
Nothing that you treasure
Is gonna last forever
When only one of us - only one of us
Yeah, only one of us is in love...
				

Harmony
Is a bit of you
And a lot of me

Tranquility
When rule number one
Is how I feel

A warm embrace
With instincts set
On human prey

I've overdosed on peace
What I wanna hear
Is honesty

Underneath the rules of liberty
You've got a monster philosophy
YOU'VE GOT A MONSTER PHILOSOPHY

A fountain of life
The ticking bomb
Of a reptile mind

A mutual trust
A face on fire
With brutal lust

The allknowing heart
I'd rather be lucky
Than wise and smart

A mystery
The monster is barking
Up the wrong tree
				

Drenched my car in gasoline
And I went racing down the street
I got lights, police and sirens
To take me from
This life and into the next

Into the Land of milk and honey
Noone here will listen
The keys in the ignition
Land of milk and honey
To you it's just rocks and stones
But I used to call this home
(Would you know where to go
If everything you know has gone away...)

I'll never keep my memories
Yeah, no matter how hard I try
They will forever just stay here
The whispering
Of a life so far away...
				

We're like two generals - tired of battling
We want to send our armies home
And all this time you've been my friend and saviour
So don't you think that I should know
You hide yourself to survive

You won't change and I won't change
The fire of love went up in flames
We both have eyes we both can see
There's no win in victory
You're coming through the open door
Against the rule , against the law

You brought the past to me - a trace of memories
The boy was happy , but the man is sad
We always hoped we'd stay alive and stupid
Never to be a "know it all" dead
That hides away to survive...

You won't change and I won't change
The fire of love went up in flames
We both have eyes – and both can see
That there's no win in victory
No hang-ups no signs of blows
You gave me directions now I don't know
You're coming through the open door
Against the rule against the law
				

Use your life or someone else will
If you don't care you can't see it until
You see the point and maybe the truth
For the alone and the misunderstood
Don't you lose it all in the gap
That seperates the awake from the sad
The bad love from the romantic ideas
From what matters and what you really fear

She said:
If you had a head
And you used your mind
You could have me anytime
If you had a brain
As big as your pain
You could have me back again
If you had your ears
Attached to your heart
You could have me anyhow
If you had a head
And you had an open mind
You could have me anytime

You've got skills you can make it look good
And unbroken from the root to the fruit
Afraid to speak, if you're breaking the spell
The dream fades - if it's going too well
And it dries up, and you live to tell...

Or you could walk the streets
In the cold cold wind
Wearing a jacket
Mosquitonet thin
Or you could open up
Out of the blue
Let someone new know
Everything about you
				

They can hear me
Hear me when I think
Everytime I breathe
I know they see me
In the rain that falls
And evens out the sand
Yeah, the sound is almost human
A spirit that walks
Sleeps and talks
No explanation
For your fantasy
I'm one of those
And Im not afraid
I desert each time I reach humanity
I am the river slowly to the sea
I am the river when I get to the sea
There'll be no more of me
I am the river slowly to the sea
I am the river and the river is me

And the sky
I knew before we met
You climbed the ladder
With the rotten steps
Take a mirror
				

Yeah, I can suddenly
Flower and sting
To pick a fight
I've let myself in
I whistle a funny note
Cut another throat
Hum a tune
Crack a skull - crack a joke

It's my lie
It's my legend
It's my cure
It's my medicine
It's my run
It's my promise
It's my light
It's my justice
It's my chainsaw
Division is mine
You'll see my chainsaw coming
I'm drawing the line
It's my chainsaw
Come see how it shines
I'm gonna cut out a living
I'm gonna cut out your kind

Oh, forgive me
A moment of pride
A trap by a demon
I'm not that type
My tears will change it
Don't even mention it
I'll glue it back together
See everything fits!

It's my tree
It's my prison
It's my lip
It's my reason
My candle
And my rain
Resurrection
It's my pain...
				

Eternal evil
Yeah it stares behind the desk
A shark dressed up in money
Zombie secretary head
I wasn't looking for control
Or for a hand to hold
I got arrested on the way
I went for the police
But they were all over town
For the fireengines
But they were all upside down

It's not because Im dirty
Not because Im clean
Read all about me in the magazines

Innoncent in jail
Guilty on the street
Notify the the people of my needs
Why should they care
With bitter eyes
They've already paid the price
Money always takes the place of life

Yeah, do you see the running crowds
And do they serve an unknown end
If you live a certain place
Do you hurt a certain way?

It's a cemetery city
With a pace so boring slow
Looks like faded, crumbled secondhand clothes

The flies are buzzing
Feel a storm is coming on
On the T.V a teenage landlord
Hides his face and goes to court
It's the mouthpiece of a nation
With unhealthy gums
It's hard to keep your head above the ground
				

I begin again
Wipe the tears off my hands
And I smile like a doomed man
I trained head and my heart
But not my eyes - it's too dark
There's a hole where hope used to be
Yeah hurt me 'till I cry
Kill me - I'll never ask why
Turn reality into a lie
A high romantic idea
Of doomed love
You win - I'm gone

It's better to have a red face once
Than forever yellow
'bout what's undone
Left with burned out eyes
And bigger lies

There's a crack and the light is new
You're taking away that too
A crack and the light is new...

Like a questionmark
On a bench in a park
The dream is broken
A heart is knocked out
Everything's turned bad
Wanna call and take it all back
The door to the future
Where is it at...
Moving silent and slow
And peacefully grow
Try to smile like I'm happy and proud
You've got your coat on
You're leaving
Light is gone
So long....
				

I wear this ugly crown
A cape of fear and dread
And when I stop and look around
I see people turn their heads
Am I the one who gives am I the one who takes
My senses are complete
I'm walking down a lonesome road
As though I'm meant to lead

If I succeed...
I'll be the one exception
If I succeed
I'll shine in all directions
Yeah, I'll be Gods own
Little drumroll
I can do this as I please
If I succeed it seems to me
That we should tell it to people like me

You never turn your back on me
Like Im a stranger you can trust
Until the pieces fall in place
You always want me to go first..

You see the whole world is, a snapping animal
Won't see it's teeth a 2nd time
I always want to wait
I alway want to turn around
				

Things got out of control
A mechanical cold
You've got to stop and start over
A drained empty soul
Harmless and helpless
Tired and sleepless
We've got to find our own jungle
And our own wilderness

You see when everything is gone
Let yourself in
You will be strong where you belong
Let a new thing begin
The world starts when you get on
Strong where you belong

You see when everything is torn
Let yourself in
You will be strong where you belong
Don't matter where you've been
The world starts when you get on
Strong where you belong 
				

I take a breath, and keep it locked inside...
I know where the lines are, I know where to hide..
It's a different kind of cattle drive
And it goes on for miles and miles...
With this I could be going,
And there's noone here to blame,
Yeah it is a funny picture
- But now I'm cool,
Let's take a look,
With open minds empty of desire..

I turned every cheek my body had,
And if it helped I'd been your punching bag
Yeah first I shake and try to laugh...
And then kamikaze - women are crazy...

How you look depends on where you go
Take more, remember less
And face the facts and get your ass back home
It's all in your wildest guess...
With this I could be going,
Cuz there's noone here to blame,
Yeah it makes a funny picture
With no sense of style
Still a wide eyed child..
Raised on fairytales and lies...
				

Born grown-up
This is kids stuff
Yeah the difference is unteachable
It's stupid
I've been through it
But the powers are unbeatable

Nothing I've seen will be
Stay in obscurity
Don't trouble your worried mind
Leave it behind it's waste of time

I'm so involved in it, I can't give up my stride
Today the world is just a setting for my life
Yeah today I'd be so grateful to be right and wonderful
Wonderful....

Who's listening
I'm wishing
But my whispers are unhearable
I'd leave now
If I knew how
But hesitation is untreatable

Enough to tear you apart
The weakness is a like a spark
Maybe it's not getting through
Maybe it wont when I want it to

It's my turn to be right...
And wonderful....
It's my turn to be loved
And wonderful
It's my turn to be right
Yeah wonderful

In my window
Moving so slow
I've lost a part of me that I can't find

				

[Instrumental]
				

Yeah, it starts in the blood
And it ends in the eye
I say don't fuck with me
It's a matter of pride
The morning comes as a scar
To the innocent dead
I'm sleeping late with all of my dreams
I'm waking up apart of the seems
I won't forget the demons or forgive the helpless fools
Hey, I can't love my friends unless they hide their torture
Hide their torture tools

Hey, take it as it comes
Let it be
I'm on the inside don't you see?
I don't need no one who doesn't like me
It's just my life
It's greater than my rage
I see it's fading in the lie
Yeah, don't you think I fear that every night?
I won't forget the demons or forgive the helpless fools
Hey, I can't love my friends unless they hide their torture tools
Yeah, you're like a dentist
Pulling teeth again
Soon the trays will turn
And it's the dentist who will end up in pain

I won't forget the demons or forgive the helpless fools
Hey, I can't love my friends unless they hide their torture tools
Yeah, you're like a dentist
Pulling teeth again
Soon the trays will turn
And it's the dentist who will end up
In paaaaaaaain...
				

Yeah, when the sun's outta sight,
And your eyes begin to burn
And you can't see the freeway or a lefthand turn
Then you hit the ground running
And you run into trouble
And you feel like (the e-string on an album (ed.)) of jah wobble...

I pick my nose at the red light, and at green; well you know..

Motorlove
I ended up drunk in som bar
Motorlove
And took a cab right back to my car

If you can't catch the plane
And you can't get a bus
Don't worry you can ride with us..
When the sun's outta sight,
And your eyes begin to burn
And you can't see the freeway or a lefthand turn

Pick my nose at the red light, and at green; well you know..

Motorlove
Ended up drunk in some bar
Motorlove
And took a cab right back to my car
Motorlove
Let's roll the rock away
Motorlove
Where there's a will there's a highway...
				

It's getting too dark 'round the road
It's getting too black now to see
We're going above in a group
The think that it's happening to me
My mouth is shut tight on this secret
You want a big souvenir
You got to be there to believe it
And now it's here, yeah
The first time the devil made me do it
The second time I did it all on my own

It's the big ones that scares the small ones away
It's the big demons that hold the little devils at bay
Exist to destroy, destroy to exist
I guess I was born with the wrong bag of tricks
Big ones, all the way

Poisoned, pissed on and used
But two years ahead with the truth
Meeting a man without feet
He'll never complain about shoes
And now everything's getting louder
Hey, you're face to face with yourself
The sparkling of your giant laughter
Hey, all by yourself, yeah
The first time the devil made me do it
The second time I did it all on my own

It's the big ones that scares the small ones away
It's the big demons that hold the little devils at bay
Exist to destroy, destroy to exist
I guess I was born with the wrong bag of tricks
Big ones, all the way

It's the big ones that scares the small ones away
It's the big demons that hold the little devils at bay
Exist to destroy, destroy to exist
I guess I was born with the wrong bag of tricks

Big ones, all the waaaaaaay...
				

Sky blue
And a desert tan
Faded, jaded, doomed star
The mystery showman
Listens to no man
He's just itching for his old guitar..

Moanday, tearsday
He'll walk on legs of clay
Waitsday, thumbsday
He's only in the way
Frightsday, shatterday
Again a voice will say:
Look What The Drug Dragged In....
				

Hey what's in your head,
That I cannot find in mine
Are you older than the rock that I've been sitting on
And what's in your heart
That can't escape your mind
Everything is right when you look around
I think we should burn our bridges now
The doctor said we would live, but we died somehow....
I think we should burn our bridges now

Hey what's in your head,
That I cannot find in mine
Are you older than the rock that we've been sitting on
And what's in your heart
That can't escape your mind
Everything is right when you look around
I think we should burn our bridges now
The doctor said we would live, but we died somehow....
And even if there's a cure, we shouldn't take those pills cuz that's no
medicine
I think we should burn I think we should burn
Burn our bridges now....
				

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I've fooled everyone completely
Everyone, except you..
And maybe a few others
Yeah, what can a fool do?..
I got clothes in my wardrobe
They'll make me feel allright
I was aiming to please
'Coz you see... Yeah
There's just a few of us..
I'm A Little Cloud
Over my dead body
Won't make a happy man out of me
In a hotel lobby
With a bitter cup of tea
Before I take up smiling
I'll hang my head in a knowing way
Anally deciding
What I need to do today
Someone sad got to meet
The kind of bad that is sweet
I feel the need
Let me reveal a secret
Of Who I am..
I'm a little cloud
Colored pink and grey
I don't hello my neighbours
When I meet them on my way
				

Over my dead body
Won't make a happy man out of me
In a hotel lobby
With a bitter cup of tea
Before I take up smiling
I'll hang my head in a knowing way
Anally deciding
What I need to do today
Someone sad got to meet
The kind of bad that is sweet
I feel the need
Let me reveal a secret
Of Who I am..
I'm a little cloud
Colored pink and grey
I don't hello my neighbours
When I meet them on my way
I'm a little cloud
And every day is the same
If I don't cast my shadow
I think I'll hang myself today

Yeah, millions are dancing
And laughing their nights away
I have a hard time understanding
Why it's so great to stay up late
Yeah, I'll steal the attention
Yeah, I'll be bringing you sad news
So there's no need to mention
I need a smaller pair of shoes
Someone sad got to meet
The kind of bad that is sweet
Discreet Repeat
What has become my secret..
And understand:
I'm a little cloud...
				

The Jesus nut that holds it all together
The light is on upstairs but noone's home
The swallowed spider is spinning webs inside her
Remember that we're all in this alone

In real life
There's only one to hurt you
Only one to disagree
In real life
It takes one to argue, and that's me
In real life
There's only one who knows you
But two ways to see
In real life
It's meant to be;
The best in you,
Brings out the worst in me...

They found a brand new way to measure pleasure
And violence is nothing more than a joke
You make a hit by putting two flops together
But the hero's still hanging from a burning rope

In real life
There's only one to hurt you
Only one to disagree
In real life
There's only one to argue, and that's me
In real life
There's only one who knows you
But two ways to see
In real life
It's meant to be;
The best in you,
Brings out the worst in me...
				

I couldn't trust me to the corner
Close my eyes and forgetting where I'm at
I know I haven't lost my mind
So I smile, yeah my patience drives me mad
Like the circus leaves a circle on the grass
Got to move on and let it pass
I won't let it get me down
But, something moves across the room as slow as winter

Favours for the ungrateful; yeah..
Sometimes pleased, never satisfied
Favours for the ungrateful
Unqualified and hateful
Favours for the unwilling
And all the time revealing
How truthful I can get..
As close to what I really meant
Favours for the ungrateful

I hope I haven't lost my mind
But, tomorrow is a hammer swinging at my head
I won't let that get me down
It's apologies unspoken with regret

I've been stuck on a pin
Had my wings pulled off
Down niagara in a barrel
- Pride's not hard to swallow
All you do is chew
When Love plans for tomorrow
Loneliness dreams of yesterday

Favours for the...
				

Rise by your name
It's harmony all the way to fame
Show me you care
I'm falling flat on smile elsewhere
I dont look my best
When police is going through my nest
With that little "phew"
See it could never really happen to you..

Under the same sky but not with same horizon

Yeah we've been had
Either homeless, famous or mad
To carry your own...
How come I feel a little slow
It must have been guilt
On that tree, instead of free will
The hammer is gone
But the light in the basement is on

We're under the same sky but not with the same horizon...
				

You said the world was bad
And then you shook my ear
You said it was a fact
Everybody's haunted
By a past they hate...
I'm hearing echoes of the words you said
Yeah you filled my head....

Hey, I don't wanna look back now
Even in the worst of times
Hey, look at my shadow
It's the shadow of a child

You filled my head with fear
You said the world was bad
And then you shook my ear
You said it was a fact
Everybody's haunted
By a past they hate...
Nothing is important
Memory locked the gate
And if the door would open
Reveal a better place
Do I still have dreams
In this frozen state?
Everybody's haunted
By a past they hate...
I'm hearing echoes of the words you said
Yeah you filled my head...
				

I'm freezing
Them I'm letting go
You only hear the silent snow
Running from it; am I getting weak?
But what are friends for
I only remember:
Jacketless in icecold december

In a dream, but wide awake
Now I know my own mistakes
- from without - to within...
Now I'll live with everything

Blame another, but the shame is in your mind
For what is lost and hard to find
The door is closed, to light and truth
What are friends for
Yeah, I remember:
Jacketless in icecold december

In a dream...

I've seen how the world appears
- through a mist of tears
I've been in a very bad mood,
as if I knew...
You always end up empty
- so full of yourself
I can safely say now,
even the oldest trick that exist:
That you can still disappoint a pessimist!

Yeah, in a dream...
				

The noise that breaks the sleep, it's deep calling the deep
The ship goes up and down
All the curtains drawn, the lamps are early on
On top, a hundred dawns
The day we stayed inside, the trunks began to slide
Nor awake or nor dressed
Portholes dark and green, over the side into the deep
You know if you haven't guessed
Six white sharks and the sailors sing - out loud

Wouw wouw wouw
Another tyrant will rise
Wouw wouw wouw
Violent sea, violent skies
				

If you hide; the kid inside
The more you live; the more he dies
That's the cost of livin
Always taking, never giving

Give up things, that won't come back
'Coz what you lost was all you had..
I look around to see
Is there anyone like me?

I'll close my eyes and try to understand
All there's left of my rock is a grain of sand..

Time swallows time and
And year swallows year
Time swallows time
And all the time it disappears
Time swallows time

Float around, stay low and wait
I close my mouth around the bait
Pull it when you're able
I'm a goldfish on a table

Believing things that isn't true
There's a kid inside of you
And you don't hear him crying
But slowly he's dying...

I'll close my eyes and try to understand
All there's left of my rock's a grain of sand

Time swallows time
And year swallows year
Time swallows time
And all the time it disappears
Time swallows time
And year swallows year
- I guess it does; it's this time a year

All the time just disappears
I guess it does; it's this time a year
Time swallows time
And down the throat next year slips
Time swallow time
And year licks it's lips
