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

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

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

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
10.
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

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
14.
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
