In My Head
03:00
|
|||
A long day’s behind me,
hardly manage to keep me awake
Fell asleep on the road, almost crashed,
turned the music louder
Tunes so loud, notes repeatin’,
ringin’ in my head, just try to sleep
Singer’s shoutin’, rhythm stompin’,
it’s a mess in my head, n’all I want is deep sleep
I can’t sleep, there’s music in my head
No dream, I’m awake in my bed
My heart beats with the rhythm driving me mad
I can’t sleep there’s music in my … head …

Anybody Out There
05:27
|

All of this religion
Gotta be good for somethin’, someone …
Anybody out there?
Have you seen him, heard her,
Is she black, is she blue, can you see right
thru …
Does it really matter?
Oh, listen to those sounds
Are they soothing to your head
If it’s happiness you’ve found
Then it’s true what everybody said …
It’s time for medium rare steaks
Not too hot, not too cold …
Anybody out there?
It’s not too dark, not too light,
not wrong, not right, no reason to fight …
Does it really matter?
Oh, listen to those sounds …
Are you participating?
Extending love or hating?
Is it all the same?
Or is it just a game … to you
Does it really matter?
Is anybody out there?

Dedicated

Father mockin’
Children wondrin’
Finally makin’
Cuss-tart buns for the Tich
So, you’re all alone
Out there on your own
And nobody cares about you
Still you keep insisting you know
Though the winds blow
You are such a fool …
… to whom it may concern:
You’re a …
Motherfuckin’
Chicken shittin’
Cock suckin’ idiot
Bastard son of a bitch!

Mania
06:43
|
|||
I won’t forget what ya took away from me
A glimpse of hope in dreary reality
I’m not a fool, you temporal beast
Eyes filled with madness, with sympathy ...
I can hear you hummin’ that mystical tune
Pain blocks the way back, nothin’ more to lose
You’re not a fool, just full of deceit
You know I’m wounded, when I start to bleed
Don’t you remember, will there be a change
We’ll sort it out somehow, some other day
Sometimes we talk it over every night …
Too much, no touch, no end in sight
I guess - oh yes - it might be - I can’t see
Don’t lie, just try, yes I know why
Gotta stop or I’ll drop ... d-d-d-d-d-d-dead
Please remember, we don’t need a change
Please remember, I don’t want a change
We might sort it out somehow, but there will be no change
Well, let’s sort it out somehow, some other day

If I
03:19
|

The sky that we wrap around ourselves
Can be black or it can be blue
The whys that we keep asking ourselves
Can be right or overdue, overdue …
It’s so hard to see with our heads underground
Or to hear with the sand in our ears
The voices we hear, deep inside ourselves
Are the dials that have been set to fear
Expectations to get what we want out of life
Political gods invading our views
Feel like a mutant who has been declared insane
Killing senses that know what to do
Invasions, persuasions will surely change our minds,
Change our minds
The flags that we prayed to will fuck us from behind,
From behind ...

The Day After
01:44
|
|||
In the mornin’ on the wrong side of the bed
Wakin’ up all alone‘n all the blankets are red
Then I’m about to remember, what‘s been happenin’ last night
My baby‘s beneath the lawn, but that seems to be alright ...
If you’d somehow come back to me
I’d do anything I can …
In the evenin’ my mind is outa tune
Spendin’ most of the night starrin’ at the moon
So afraid I‘m gonna lose my mind
Pretty soon ... oh, I‘m missin’ you ...
And I keep dreamin’ of you …
Wishin’ dreams could come true …

The Night After
03:06
|
|||
I’ve been - dreamin’ - of you, babe
wishin’ dreams could come true
n’then my dream - turned into - a vision of you
I felt shivers thru‘n thru,
cause you‘d come to get me,
and the next thing I knew ...
It’s the only way to be with you,
to be with you, to be with you ...
Queen of the Beyond, King of Irreality,
love, we‘re invincible, one eventually
We‘re immortal, irresistible, though it seems incredible,
incredible, incredible …

27 One More Tries
03:45
|
|||
I gave it about 27
one more tries
I’ve had enough after 11
cause there’s been only lies
Yelling at the lonely heaven
didn’t make any sense
Creeping through an empty never
I’m not sorry, no offense
You won’t stop - you’ll come to me
I’ll get chosen - you will see
I’ve turned bitter - you might find
What means glitter to the blind …
Fill me up with 90 bottles
I might still walk straight
Shoot at me with senseless matters
I will carry all their weight
Burn me down with poisoned letters
I will understand their hate
Take the colour from green valleys
I will see with eyes that fade
You won’t stop …

White Needle Down
03:35
|
|||
Shadows of a bigger picture followed me
Time to time they briefly flashed up and disappeared
Echoes of fading memories hollowed me
Time after time a massive breakdown all over me
I banned the shadows in a picture on living screen
Thanx to the ink-witchmaster eternally
Went to the dead place where it started
And found the freak within me
Tortured him with a million stitches
Till the needles made the beast bleed
You think you´ve thrown me around
Face me white needle down
You think you pulled me underground
Face me white needle down

Hail
04:04
|
|||
Hey, babe, it’s been a long time - time
Guess we gotta start and face reality
Hmmh, it’s a kinda drag, yeah, yeah
But what-so-ever and whatever ...
It’s been a weird time, full of irritations
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... spellbound
Finally trapped in an everlasting mad dream
And there’s no way out, as it seems ...
Hey, babe, no surrender
We’re still spellbound
Somehow unreaI, don’t wanna see
Gone for good, noone’s here ...

Pull
03:26
|
|||
I’ve seen how it grows
It shook me for a while as some of them might know
I have resisted truth
All these stolen moments of a youth
Same game, different woman
I kinda get where you’re pullin’ me to
Familiar play, still enduring
I get a hang of why you’re pullin’ me through
Hold on, wait and see
All this freakin’ madness breaking out of me
So long, so bad, so far
Bang my head against the wall to create new scars
Same old game, different flippin’ woman
Familiar play, still enduring …

Part I: All Is One ...
Keep your eyes closed,
keep your eyes closed,
keep’em closed
See the beauty,
of the madness,
of the wisdom
from within …
Part IIII: The Park
Sinister Mr. Godoshs sister’s quite upset today
during the foxhunt took a break
’n she was led astray in the hay - eyey
As all the folks had gone away … eyey eyey
They played the game the ladies’ way … eyey eyey
It seemed the world stopped turning when they
turned off the lights at the end of the concert
The singer’d sung her song,
didn’t know what she’d done wrong
and she finally found her necklace,
had been underneath the bench
that she’d been sleepin’ on …
And her cousin from Russia
the silly philosopher
Jury Khyotoshkin
won’t stop speechifyin’
at Upsoro Park …
Where have all the sluts gone?
We’d assumed that they’d been on the run!
In fact they’d only been having fun …
With the above not mentioned paraphernalia!
Part III (Instrumental): Hope & Peace
Part IV: The Forest
Aftermath,
good old days,
reflections of the past
Fragments, multi-coloured haze,
there we were at last
Playground bushes,
sofa parties,
living room floor
In another land,
had the world,
worth longin’ for …
And we’ve been list’nin’ to the Beatles and the Who
And in the end to Johnny Virgil, too
Butterfly … sympathy … 1983
But the poor old sod’s not here …
anymore …
Though it’s never too late
to have your friends around
Take ’em out to the Epping Forest bars
Dancin’, glancin’, romancin’ …
something in the air
But none of the lads are there …
anymore …
Part V: ... And One Is All
Keep your eyes closed,
keep your eyes closed,
keep’em closed
Part VI (Instrumentatal): Outro
