I WANNA KNOW.
Is there anything else to know? Then, I wanna know it.
Is there any other place to go? Then, I wanna know it.
Bring the compass honey, I wanna know.
I’ve tried to control the boat on the river.
Now I’m sick of breaking helms,
go river, flow, but tell me where I’m going.
Yes, I wanna know, go river, flow, but tell me where I’m going.
I wanna know.
Oh, baby, where’ve you gone? Can’t you see I’m sinking?

Riverboat

RIVERBOAT.
Waking on the other side drying some tears.
In a place so lost & far from everything.
Now I think I’d better go back to my place.
To take what I left behind I won’t be back too late.
I won’t be late.
The riverboat will take us home.
The riverboat will find us a greener shore.
I know you know I love you so.
I know you know that we will be safe & warm.
Today we’ll go & we will miss nothing.
River, flow to wherever you want.
River, flow & flood every road.
River, flow with the tears, the cries of the lost,
to the green of the fields, & we will be...

You win

YOU WIN.
Me & my loneliness are trying not to get in touch with you,
but in the end, you know I always pick the phone up & call you...
...oh yes, you're right I'm stupid I know, yes,
I'm sick of dying alone, over & over.
Please could you spell despair,
my road rage is simply going mad.
I don't wanna go to jail,
I'm killing drivers & this has to stop...
You win, this war is over, you win,
just keep on piercing my soul over & over.
You win, this world is flat, yes... you win,
just keep on piercing my soul over & over.
I'm losing my way, I've tried to go, I've tried to, tried to stay.
I'm losing my soul, I think I'm mad, this has to stop.

I wanna be like you

I WANNA BE LIKE YOU.
You walk on the dark side ‘cause you were born to shine.
You’re living a big lie, slave of the day, king of the night.
I wanna be like you, bohemian dressed for art.
& there's a fog 'round you,
you have no shame, you’re selling sand.
You meet the most pretentious people rolling through the bars.
It's so nice to be a star.
Take my soul, I’ll chase the dragon, tell me where I have to pray,
come on let's feel no shame. I wanna be like you.
God gives bread to people without teeth,
I fought on the other side, now at last I’ve seen the light.

Bleeding

BLEEDING.
Take this gun, blow off my head,
you know I won't suffer if I'm dead,
& now each time I see that smile I'm bleeding.
From the day it came I lost everything but I found alcohol,
that faithful friend that saves me when I'm bleeding.
Change my mind, there's no need for me to cross the line.
Change my mind there's no need for me to see those eyes.
I'll drink some wine, I'll drink the barrel dry, I'm bleeding.
Away I go, walking ‘round in circles, smiling, sowing storms.
Away I go, wicked bitter feeling hits me like a stone.

Ways to nowhere

WAYS TO NOWHERE.
Everyone has a ticket to nowhere.
Everyone's hoping to arrive somewhere.
Everytime all I can do is wonder
if we'll take the same ticket to nowhere.
You say the grass seems to grow greener on the other side
& I have to tell you maybe this time you could be right.
All I want you to tell me
is where this way to nowhere takes me to
& all you want me to tell you
is where this way to nowhere takes you to.
Just join me, we'll chase the light to nowhere.

DISAPPOINTING RAIN.
Your hands were shaking, threw the dice & lost.
That was your try, now you must go.
Thanks for coming, boy.
I’m sorry, pack your tears & fade away.
You came too late & it’s a shame.
Thanks for coming, boy.
You’ll have to wait on the other side.
Say bye & please, don’t come tonight.
Disappointing rain has come again drowning losers.

Winter sky

WINTER SKY.
Don’t blame the ghost that every morning
wakes & sings the same old song.
Forget what’s lost, you poor boy,
let that foggy spirit rest alone.
Find another self-distraction for the road,
build a shelter from the cold.
Knock down the walls & cross the line
inside your mind,
before the winter sky draws the sun.

Guns & crucifixes

GUNS & CRUCIFIXES.
Saw you locking in
prisons made of grieving on you,
the lie is coming true.
Let me take a look,
let me taste the fear & try the pain
your lies won’t be the same.
Oh, yeah, I smile when you say:
“The hellhound’s coming back.
Raise your guns & crucifixes.”
I’ve seen the devil, praising god.
I’ve seen the pharisees raising guns & crucifixes.

Seven second way

SEVEN SECOND WAY.
From the darkness came a light that shone,
softly told me: "you'll be fine, calm down,
what you're gonna feel will give you faith,
now enjoy this seven second way.
On TV they feed empty minds with their dirty lies
in the name of freedom, what freedom?
Close your eyes take my hand & feel,
nothing matters nothing's wrong with me...
Pay attention & you'll be safe 'cause I know the place
where your freedom's so free.
Take this seven second way
to see deep inside your mind you're free, so free,
yes, this way will give you faith,
now enjoy this seven second way, it's free.
Come on feel alive, come on take my hand to find
that you're free, you're so free."

Standing on the road

STANDING ON THE ROAD.
Dreams made of wine wake up the mirrors made of lies.
Truths made of stone knock them down, littering the floor.
One by one, glass crashing.
One by one, as they crash, other ones are coming.
And the sun goes down drawing longer shadows,
but the wheel that starts everything tomorrow
waits for you to come...
...standing on the road.

Solstice

SOLSTICE.
Bring me the light, bring me the end of the night.
Pray you’ll have faith, used to be safe
when I found my place.
Trust in the dawn, there’s nothing worth dying for.
The sun’s getting high with reason to smile.
& I change my mind.
I believe, still believe you’ll find the way.
All my life, all my life fading away, so far away.
I’ve been lost, cold & pale. All my soul, gold you gave.
Now I’m so alive, so alive, believe me.
