Your voice is getting soft The music turning low The day is fading out The hour getting slow It’s just a silly phase It won’t last long you just work it through You’ll come out pretty strong life will find it’s ways The power in a pause You’ve learned a thing or two The sotto voce force It’s the kind of sadness that falls off when you move on Sometimes you hurt a leg Sometimes you hurt an arm Sometimes you hurt your Self Sometimes you hurt your heart Sometimes you hurt a leg It needs a rest Sometimes you hurt an arm It needs a rest Sometimes you hurt your Self It needs a rest Sometimes you hurt your heart It needs a rest It’s the kind of sadness that falls off when you move on Candles fading out I still sense a light Nocturnal fireflies It’s a sparkle in your eyes I wonder if it’s you or just that face The one your mother wore when we were kids That you tried to ignore that happy face I finally conclude it’s really you You will be ok – I swear that You will be ok – I swear that You will love again You will love again Love thy neighbor, and he might love you more

Crawler 03:49
lyrics

Because I was young and insecure Enlisted there by force Drafted to someone else’s war Not a clue what life had in store Because someone’s creeping here, crawling at my floor Someone bigger and greater than your Megalomania, you the irreplaceable Well I don’t need you anymore It’s an open wound, still sore That’s finally cared for Fleeing those pantomime whores A galley slave, aiming for The other shore Because someone’s creeping here, crawling at my floor Someone bigger and greater than your Megalomania, you the irreplaceable Well I don’t need you anymore

Perfecter 03:41
lyrics

I’m perfect You’ll never get a second shot at me But I must admit, that I acted a bit, when I smiled at my aunt, and her tedious spouse, (but it’s a very big house) And I know I’m wrong, when I’m passing along, the blame to the one, who’s absent and gone. I mean stop to pretend, that I’m innocent, and start act like a gent. Period and end. Otherwise I’m perfect Curious and modest – Perfect Whimsical and focused – Perfect Logical and balanced – Perfect I’ll never judge a driver by the car And maybe once in a while, I happened to lie, about ideas and kind, that I merchandise, implying they’re mine. And it might just look nice, to peel of a vice, like borrowing other men’s wives. But just give me a drink, a smile and a wink, I’ll be yours in a blink. Just stop playing with hearts, it would do for a start. Otherwise I’m perfect Generous to strangers – Perfect Responsible and playful – Perfect Solution oriented, – Perfect I’ll never be entangled in the past And I should realize, that indifference like, closing my eyes, at uncomfortable sights, at the news every night, mean it all carries on, and somebody dies, the following night. And why is it so hard, to pick up the phone, give my mother a call, my father a call, tell them how much I care, while they are still here Otherwise I’m perfect Confident but humble – Perfect Funny but not shallow – Perfect Always moving forward – Perfect You’ll never get a second shot at me I should learn to cool down, don’t run all the time, find out how to find, some peace of mind, and not to be scared, by a moment to spare. And verbally too, I need to stay cool, I need to restrain, my language and aim, to connect to the brain, before I start maim. And stop believing that I’m… Perfect Why is it so hard to live like a saint Why is it so dark in this womb to tomb maze And a pile-up in front of that narrow gate Why oh why… God I can’t follow the rules

Limo 03:00

Outside there’s a limo waiting Outside there’s a limo waiting Throw your scrap heap on the scrap heap Because right outside there’s a limo waiting So go pack all you Monday mornings Call in sick and tell some story Tell them that you’ve been abducted By a passing marsian tourist Outside there’s a limo waiting Outside there’s a limo waiting Tell your friend you’ve found a new one Because right outside there’s a limo waiting Forget about those lo-fi boyfriends Lonely evenings and cancelled weddings Wipe out all those haunting memories Forget all those Bergman endings Tell your landlord she’s an a-hole And the pacemaker to beat faster Wrap up all your day care sorrows Wrap them up in armored plaster Outside there’s a limo waiting Outside there’s a limo waiting Throw your crap life on the scrap heap Because right outside there’s a limo waiting

Please Bear With Us 03:38
lyrics

Oh god, oh god Please bear with us Cause we are only humans Cause we’re only trying, to live our lives In peace with our neighbor, and in rhyme With our time Oh god… Constantly tending, the machinery To make it run smoothly, and then pass The key Oh god… To make our views better, we’re climbing our ladders, to next rung And if we happen to, step on a brother or others, well then That’s bad luck Oh god… We fight to protect, what we hoard or collect, steal or hunt And after our needs are fulfilled, that’s when we start to kill Just for fun Oh god… Biological climbers Evolutional upstarts Nouveau riche wannabe slouches Oh god… We sit in our talkshows debating to show us so avant-garde Spending our days, studying social behaviour in apes and the late dinosaur And back home from office, we unscrew a bottle, and start banging each other Like the mammals we are God, oh god please bear with us Cause soon we will be leaving First we just, must scorch the earth, to make sure that it’s worthless to all Coming here, after us, then we’re gone

Beautiful World 03:02

This is a marvelously beautiful world Once in a lifetime world A make-believe world And I leave it all to you The roaring of thunder Rain on your skin Your name in her slumber With a sigh from deep within The weight of a lover Her head on your arm The dawning of summer The touch of a heart This is a marvelously beautiful world Once in a lifetime world A make-believe world And I’ll leave it all to you The hug before travelling The return of a smile Young children playing Like butterflies Your best friend’s wedding The birth of a child A glimpse of a higher cause Of something divine Making love Making love Making love to your dear one in the night Making love to your dear one in the night This is a marvelously beautiful world Once in a lifetime world A make-believe world And I’ll leave it all to you

So, you got him… So, you got him… That’s really great! But God bless America? Yes God bless America? That’s just the kind of talk, that gives us all the feeling you don’t care, the slightest about us over here The kind of talk that’s seeping through, making people fear you… and eventually hate you… What’s wrong with the world? Yes what’s wrong with the world? God bless the world God bless us all
