To the Sea
02:48
|
|
||
I must go down to the seas again
For my thoughts are running wild
And it's the instinct of a child
That I must go down to the seas again
For the call of the running tide
Is a call that can't be denied
It's a reflection of my troubled mind
And the urge to leave it all behind
For it's water from that we came
In spite of things that we suffer and learn
It's to the sea that we must return
I must go down to the seas again

Stupidity
04:22
|
|
||
Wake up now the times have been changing
I never lost my way but this is a different matter
Now you know perspectives are changing
Reality is a whore sleeping with every dumbass
And whoever said that with all the years the pain would be less
He was wrong
For it may be different in grades of narcosis I guess
And that's why
I just called for stupidity to ease my way
But working brain is here to stay
I just asked for indifference to lead my way
But simple life won't be here today
Sleep well my conscience there are wounds that never heal I see it now
Sleep well my conscience I'm in pain therefore I feel
I just called for stupidity to ease my way
But working brain is here to stay
I just asked for indifference to lead my way
But simple life won't be here today
Stupidity take my hand and lead my life for me

The Bells of
03:27
|
|
||
And all the ecstasy will not survive the other day
In the town with the many churches I slowly fade away
The churches are as empty as the faces passing by
Their trauma and psychosis shot into the sky
This is a crazy little world a faith that knew it wouldn't last
And can a single man plus forty years turn even ruins into dust
And all the blinding ecstasy will not survive this day
But everything looks brighter in the morn or slips away
In these industrial wastelands everyone will pay the prize
Clinging to walled up wastelands behind these hopeless eyes
And to hear the bells of many churches

FXXXing my Muse
04:09
|
|
||
Be still while my muse is kissing me bound in ecstasy
There's no use in calling me to sleep
Be still she's a bitch with golden hair in shabby underwear
And she will attack me from behind when I am least suspecting
Maybe I should wait maybe I should call her maybe
Toilet Queens and Acid Ladys she will be here
Cross-dressing fiends on methadone anywhere whatever
I closed my eyes and still I hear her dirty whispers in my ear
I begged for her but she would never come to me again
And silence is her knife to flay alive
And those who fuck her need to be brave
One day she will slit my throat and dance upon my grave
Be still while my muse is kissing me

Fleeting
02:16
|
|
||
The force to rip out any heart that gets in your way
The fear of an unknown emotion that ruins your day
I'll be sick and dull but whatever
There were times when a fleeting embrace seemed to be all that I needed
There were times when a fleeting embrace could be an answer
And whe comes bitterness when comes indifference when comes intolerance
When comes age
I'll be sick and dull watch out

Wonderful Day (Go away)
04:03
|
|
||
The force to rip out any heart that gets in your way
The fear of an unknown emotion that ruins your day
I'll be sick and dull but whatever
There were times when a fleeting embrace seemed to be all that I needed
There were times when a fleeting embrace could be an answer
And whe comes bitterness when comes indifference when comes intolerance
When comes age
I'll be sick and dull watch out

A Certain Time
02:49
|
|
||
And in the mirror of your fading smile
I realize my search has come to an end
A place in the distance and the raging sea
I place my world in the reach of your hand
And here we are looking at all the time
Learning to pay for the words we didn't say
Feeling so close though we've always been there
Caught in the centre and just a breath away
Let's get away let's go down to the sea
So walk with me stay with me
It's just a little while
A certain time another place
And we will smile

Unborn King
03:24
|
|
||
Little has changed me during the ages everything else has done
Get up and sleep while changing the stages still feel like a group of one
Out of the light and into a shell crashing and flashing by
People are strange even when you're not normal and sexily neurotic
Give me some night and I whistle in the dark
For during the day I already sing
I am the unborn king
And since we are lost let's take the other train out of here
I've been too deep in the center of action and it's been far too long
All my friends are dead they didn't notice it on the run everyone has changed
But I'm not sure if they quietly put on or took off their masks
Into the night and I whistle in the dark
For during the day I already sing
Hail to the unborn king
I am the unborn king

Five Years of Sleep
04:14
|
|
||
Push through the market square master your pride
Build a new home on shaky ground
In a pub in Islington I watched twin towers fall
With Karaoke all around
Give me a sign when things have changed
Call me if god is on the phone
I'll be asleep for another year
Dreaming of sanity and days by the sea
Fighting the arrogance mastering my pride
Dwelling in perfect agony
I'm lost in a little craze everything is just fine
Dreaming of lost days by the sea
Give me a sign when things have changed
Wake me if god is on the phone
Five years asleep the weight of a thousand years
I am asleep but not dead yet

I'm looking at a weird reflection and wait for it to say
I'll never be the looser that I see
In all these years of expection and after all these lies
I feel the asshole taking hold of me
All that we share is a scream when we entered
All we may share is a cry when we go
It's hard to be broken it's hard to be mean
A day on the ocean no coast to be seen
Watch out for the cities reach out for the sky
Step into the chasm and hope you will fly
All that we share is a scream when we entered
All we may share is a cry when we go
And in a world where everything is possible
There will be no surprises
And with every genius that gets kicked out
A bunch of assholes rises

One of These
04:08
|
|
||
So here I am it's one of these days right in front of the mirror
Looking at a stranger's face
And here we are finding new ways of turning away from the mirror
Staring back in fascination
And I don't know what this thing is a child in shape of a man
That soon will turn against me and break my spine if it can
And I know
It's gonna be older it's gonna be strange
It's gonna be everything we feared when we were young
It's gonna be different it's gonna be pain
It's gonna be nobody
It'll be one of these days that there'll be a crack in the mirror
Right over the brow of this thing
And probably one of hese days I'll be looking straight in the mirror
And vaguely know the man staring at me
Afraid of losing my memory the sense of why who and where
Afraid of losing significance afraid of losing my hair
It's gonna be older it's gonna be strange
It's gonna be everything we loathed when we were young
It's gonna be different it's gonna be pain
It's gonna be anything
And then one day it'll be over

Tiny bugs eating up having their special sacrament
Piece of cloth negative bloody face
And a thought sprang to my mind
So I took a plane to Italy Aeroporto di Torino
Found the church broke the chapel door
It was 2 am
Beat up a priest that got in my way he seemend to enjoy it
Smashed the glass got my scissors out
A little cut a piece with blood
I wanna clone Jesus
I wanna ask him how he's been
I wanna know all the bloody details and if masturbation is a sin
He will tell me about his family
Their life in fashion and accountancy
I wanna clone Jesus
But what if eventually I'm going to talk to some daft medieval sod
Who realized what he had gotten into when he felt the first lash
And saw the cross and the nails
Anyway I guess that for this song I will be crucified
They'll place my body in a linen cloth
Put it on display til somenone comes its way saying
I'm gonna clone Jesus
But he won't know it's only Dust

Subway Tonight
03:34
|
|
||
Three girls are singing in the subway tonight
Bowing their heads in shame
Their voices diffusing in the pale neonlight
And coming back again
Their innocence splintered in the concrete and smell
Of a tiled sprayed wall reading „Enter the Hell“
Three girls are singing in the subway tonight
Why do we hide in the shade with our faces in the light
Listening to sounds in the distance
All is well but nothing is alright
Three girls are dancing in the subway tonight
Neglecting all the pain
Their moves casting shadows onto a face in the light
That's looking back again
Why do we hide in the shade with our faces in the light
Listening to sounds in the distance
All is well but nothing is alright
Voices that fade in the distance
Errantly moving sound
Nothing will ever make me stop but anything
Will make me turn my head around

Cherubs and Seraphim
04:49
|
|
||
Little angel walking right in front of me
He's gonna hold the gun to set me free
Throwing golden strings like ways around my feet
I don't know where they end I don't know if they meet
Cherubs and Seraphim flap wings against my head
Neglecting me like I was dead
For the miracle has been this far away
But here I'm gonna stay no ecstasy today still waiting
Little angels passing through my room again
And still I'm waiting for my man
Little angels walking straight over my grave
But I won't play it safe I'll never be a slave
Little angel walking right in front of me
I'm gonna take his gun to set me free
For the mark shows clearly on my thinker's brow
Hooray bare-bottomed fiends I'm coming for you now

From the Sea
04:15
|
|
||
The tide is rushing in like a new day
Watch our footprints fading fast and then being brushed away
The windy hands that choke us now
We never meant to change
So here we are in state of flux like the waves
Chasing time in ignorance and then like a new day the tide is rushing in
And so we will arrange
And today I know that ten years ago I was happy
Though I thought at the time I knew „I can't be happy now“
And I know that in ten years from now I'll think
I had been happy today but today I think I don't know
And the tide is rushing in
But we never will arrange
And today I know that ten years ago I was happy
Though I thought at the time I knew „I can't be happy now“
And I know that in ten years from now I'll think
I had been happy today but today I think I don't know
And what are ten years from now when you don't know
And I know that I don't know
