Morning Bells

Everything gone
I’m feeling the blank dimension
That needs to be filled
With the choice of life that appeals to me
Singing a song
About my conciliation
With me in the past
And the brand new man that I want to be
I know that I can prove it again
I know that I can groove it again
I know that I can do it again
I know it
I know it
I know it
It’s all I need to know
As I greet the dawn
I’m waking tall and strong
Yes, my heart’s at ease
Having found the peace
I’m cured from all the wrong
I’m not alone
In sharing this new direction
As if I’m reborn
I engage in this, which belongs to me
Sensing the tone
Of newly revealed vibrations
Grateful and sound
I’m burgeoning like an almond tree
I know that I have found me again
I know that I have caught me again
I know that I have got me again
I know it
I know it
I know it
Can you feel my beat?
Running down the street
I’m flying like a kite
By the almond trees
Curving like the breeze
I’m soaring fast and high
Can you see me thrive?
Getting back to life
Set free from letting go
Swimming in the stream
Following my dream
As I did once long ago

Calma Calma
04:05
|

I met a man who told me how to measure
All the precious treasure we enjoy
Each and every day
Each and every day
He told me "Hey, young fellow with the smart sombrero
Running through the yellow, don't you ever forget
Life's a holiday
Celebrate It"
And on the other side there's a fine magician
Juggling, shuffling, yearning recognition
Will it ever come?
Will it ever come?
Sometimes you throw just once and get the double sixes
And other times you reach the end of the line (and)
Throw it all away
Throw it all away
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
No matter how important or demanding
All of these things are anchors on our ankles
What've we become?
What've we become?
How many times I see me pass right by me
Coming and going but where is it at?
Come and have a look
Come and have a look
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
And every time I feel condescending
Full of pride and arrogance, oh so trendy
I shut my mouth and bite my tongue
Instead I power up and grab a microphone
I got my record player spinning Joy Division
Turn my back to my big mother fucking television
It shakes me up and sets me straight
Crocodile Dundee is no longer my mate
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Calma, calma

She’s Kind of Fly
05:22
|
|||
Hello quiet confidence, where have you been?
I guess you couldn’t stick around, no you couldn’t stand the sin
Old subconscious laughter, is he with you my friend?
Have you been hanging out with happy beyond the rainbow’s end?
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
You say you were her partner, you were her right hand man
But Mary Jane destroyed you like only Mary can
She made you lose your car keys, forget your master plan
She burned away the world while you held it in your hand
But what about the good times, the times she made us laugh?
She’d help us feel music and dissipate our wrath
Come on now my quiet confidence, Mary’s not all bad
Some of the times I spent with Mary were the best I ever had
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
Sure she makes me sleepy, but only when I’m tired
I’d rather be irie, than continuously wired
More mellow than the fiends I’ve seen society has sired
The only reason most don’t burn is fear of getting fired
You say when Mary’s with you everything is cool
But when she starts to leave she leaves you feeling like a fool
She smothers your ambition and slowly starts to rule
Your every waking moment and you’re more than just a tool
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?

This Better Be True
03:48
|
|||
So many ideas come to mind
But none of them jive at this time
I wonder if I am not going mad
And just 'cause I do I might be right
It better be true when I open my eyes
Next time around
I don't wanna lose sight
Of what I've just found
This better be good 'cause I'm not in the mood
I don't wanna hear "would, should or could"
I've gone all in just to see it through
I've come all out for a glimpse of you
It better be true when I open my eyes
Next time around
I don't wanna lose sight
Of what I've just found
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be bound
In this moment alone
Frozen in time, burning inside
Don't let me go
Oh no, oh no
I'm ten feet tall in the dancing hall
Never been more self assured
Stepping on clouds I can dance all night
This better be true or I'll lose my mind
It better be true when I open my eyes
Next time around
I don't wanna lose sight
Of what I've just found
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be bound
In this moment alone
Frozen in time, burning inside
Don't let me go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no

Madness Is My Home
03:49
|
|||
You gotta cut me loose
It's time I break the news
Can't you see I'm not amused?
I'm about to blow a fuse
This time I got it right
I've been at it throughout the night
I must put it to the test
Gotta bust it out of my chest
Madness is my home
Cos I am a mathematician
Madness is my home
Because I know its definition
Madness is my home
When I turn on the ignition
Madness is my home
That's where I breakthrough with ambition
We're running out of time
I can't say I'm doin' fine
I think I'm losing my mind
All I got down is my rhyme
The numbers just don't add (up)
And I am turning rad (ha)
How long do you think we got
Before this world breaks in half
Madness is my home
Cos I am a mathematician
Madness is my home
Because I know its definition
Madness is my home
When I turn on the ignition
Madness is my home
That's where I breakthrough with ambition

Talk Talk Talk

Talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk
Let the phone pick up
‘Couse I don't wanna talk
I'd rather go for a walk
Down to the park with my dog
So you can leave me a message
And I'll get Rex to fetch it
And bury it in a hole
Along with his bone
I just want to forget it
Because I don't need the headache
So please leave me alone
I need some time on my own
I made a conscious decision
I'm not part of your vision
Go back to your television
It's not like Jesus has risen
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk
Yeah, you can pass me by
You don't need to say hi
This time we just move along
Like the smoke from your bong
It was a natural occurrence
But I got no more endurance
So just consider it through
It's not me, it is you
I just want to forget it
Because I don't want the headache
So please leave me alone
I need some time on my own
I made a conscious decision
I'm not part of your vision
Go back to your television
It's not like Jesus has risen
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk
Blah-blah-blah-blah
Blah-blah-blah
Blah-blah-blah-blah
Blah-blah-blah
Shut-up!
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk

Eyes of a Killer
04:39
|
|||
When I was a little boy
I thought the sky was blue
There was nothing that I couldn’t do
When I was a young adult
I thought I knew it all
Had the whole world in my crystal ball
Never felt the fear of today
Never thought I’d live to see the day
My face in the mirror
Distorted in disbelief
The eyes of a killer
Staring back at me
My face in the mirror
Distorted in disbelief
The eyes of a killer
Staring back at me
I have come to realize
Nothing is as it seems
All my idols have betrayed my dreams
Never felt so empty and blasé
Never thought I’d live to see the day
My face in the mirror
Distorted in disbelief
The eyes of a killer
Staring back at me
My face in the mirror
Distorted in disbelief
The eyes of a killer
Staring back at me
Never felt the fear of today
Never thought I’d live to see the day
Never felt so empty and blasé
Never thought it’d come to this charade
My face in the mirror
Distorted in disbelief
The eyes of a killer
Staring back at me

A younger version of me
Who wasn’t completely free
Invited me to see
A choice I did not make
And as I gazed intently
Where this choice of mine had sent me
I hungered for a way
To bring me back that day
So that I could choose again
Because in this choice of mine
I had left the light behind
The light that made me blind
To think that money matters
And as I walked away
The chains began to shatter
But that was long ago
So long ago as though
I didn’t choose that choice
Now I’m driving this Rolls Royce
So accustomed to these chains
I only feel them when it rains
As the raindrops hit the pane
So I hang my head in shame
Oh, how wonder who’s insane
Is it the beggar with his bane?
Or the top hat with his cane
If only I could choose again
Because in this choice of mine
I had left the light behind
The light that made me blind
To think that money matters
And as I walked away
These chains began to shatter

Because You Asked
04:40
|
|||
Because you asked I’m going to tell you
How my road brought me here where I belong
I wanted acclaim, I needed admission
Into a world full of fame and glamour life
I hopped on a plane, a mustang of freedom
That took me away far beyond from where I was born
I landed these docks across the Atlantic
Eager for crowns, gold and grandeur in Kodak dreams
But then I began the schooling of life
The one that is real and the one that is tough
I learned from mistakes, my ego got roughed
Down to the depths of my natural self
Because you asked I’m going to tell you
I paid an arm and a leg to earn this prize
The man I was then, cosmetic and fragile
I buried behind and my soul is placid again
Because you asked I’m going to tell you
The warnings were there, on the wall, for all to see
I trained to be me, I learned to be helpful
And tend to the child deep inside, unspoiled and true
All of those years I fought to become
The one that I always imagined I’d be
The path was abrupt, tough and obscure
I couldn’t perceive how it ends or begins
All of those days of hard work and strain
All of them turned to be wonderful grains
And then there were sprouts, the blossoms of self
They taught me to be as sincere as I can

Junkies of the Rhythm
03:03
|
|||
Tic-toc, clic-clac… clock hands
Moving like a picture
Flip-flop, hip-hop, foxtrot…
Pepper to the mixture
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Don't fake it
Just shake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just like always you make
A very tall impression
And I glide like a kite
Never felt more alive
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Don't fake it
Just shake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Flying bits of crass
And nasty information
You're hot and fuming - so compelled
To say "correction", Your Honour
You see right through me
And you freeze me with obsession
And I glide like a kite
Never felt more alive
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Don't fake it
Just shake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
And I glide like a kite
Never felt more alive

Life’s a Stage
03:44
|
|||
Selling myself into a sort of slavery
All I’ve got now is this cubicle
I’m told if I work twelve hours a day
For prostitute’s pay, well then maybe
They will put a window in my cage
As if that could ever appease my rage
I guess that I should act… act my age
But I heard somewhere that life’s a stage
Yes, life’s a stage
And not a competition
So print that on the front page
Of the next Sunday edition
I had to leave all the corporate worlds
Behind in the wake of my succulent swirls
Their corporate fake and material girls
Just got in the way of my cutbacks and curls
So I got a night job, shared a house with a slob
Started bartending with Jake and Jarrod
Ran my own business as a daytime job
Well I might con ya, but at least I don’t rob
Yes, life’s a stage
And not a competition
So print that on the front page
Of the next Sunday edition
Yes, life’s a stage
And not a competition
So print that on the front page
Of the next Sunday edition
Claim half of what I make, in the cooler getting baked
Take as much money as I can take
From every alcoholic for alcohol’s sake
Because they are the leaves and I am the rake
Can I get another beer for you?
Is there anything else that you’d like me to do?
Should I get down and shine your shoes?
Just as long as you leave me a dollar or two
Yes, life’s a stage
And not a competition
So print that on the front page
Of the next Sunday edition
Yes, life’s a stage
And not a competition
So print that on the front page
Of the next Sunday edition

The Same Mistake
04:21
|
|||
Hypnotize me once
And I assure you I'll be back for more
Mesmerize me once
And you'll see me knocking at your door
Satisfy me once
And I'll show you what I've got in store
Just open up your heart
Don't be afraid, no, no, no more
I know it is wrong to repeat it
I know it will hurt but I can't let go
I'm falling for you can't you see it
I'm setting the stage for the same mistake
Never mind if we lose
Track of time or common sense
I just wanna get lost again
Take your soft face in my hands
I wanna wake next to you
Hear your voice caressing mine
I wanna make the same mistake
I wanna make the same mistake
I know it is wrong to repeat it
I know it will hurt but I can't let go
I'm falling for you can't you see it
I'm setting the stage for the same mistake
I know it is wrong to repeat it
I know it will hurt but I can't let go
I'm falling for you can't you see it
I'm setting the stage for the same mistake

Let It Snow
02:59
|

Oh, let it snow
Oh, let it snow
How forgiving, how evolved
Am I with you when you hold me
Let me stay just some more
Cover me up head to toe
Lay me down and let my head rest
I slip away as I veer
Losing track of what is real
Often wonder if I’m still here
Oh, let it snow
Oh, let it snow
How forgiving, how evolved
Am I with you when you hold me
Oh, let it go
Oh, let it flow
Like the river down the road
All I need is you to hold me
Crooked people, crooked towns
Alley ways with eerie clowns
Make me shiver as I close my eyes
Flying high with no aim
Icy steeples in my way
Wake me up and make them go away
Oh, let it snow
Oh, let it snow
How forgiving, how evolved
Am I with you when you hold me
Oh, let it go
Oh, let it flow
Like the river down the road
All I need is you to hold me
Let me stay just some more
Cover me up head to toe
Lay me down and let my head rest
Slipping up as I veer
Losing track of what is real
Often wonder if I’m still here
Oh, let it snow
Oh, let it snow
How forgiving, how evolved
Am I with you when you hold me
Oh, let it go
Oh, let it flow
Like the river down the road
All I need is you to hold me
Oh, let it snow
Oh, let it snow
How forgiving, how evolved
Am I with you when you hold me
Oh, let it go
Oh, let it flow
Like the river down the road
All I need is you to hold me
Hold me tight
You’re all I got

Day After Day

Hey
What did I do so wrong today?
How come it doesn’t feel right?
And why do you smirk anyway?
You
You in the mirror
I’m talking to you, can you see?
I’m trying to make something clear
Day after day
I’ve been waiting for you
To show me the way
To give me a clue
Day after day
I’ve been watching you fade
Walking away
With your head in your hands
You
You in the mirror
You’ve got to sail this boat ahead
No matter what it takes
Hey you
You permanent dreamer
Open your eyes and look at the sky
It’s time to decipher the signs
Day after day
I’ve been waiting for you
To show me the way
To give me a clue
Day after day
I’ve been watching you fade
Walking away
With your head in your hands
Day after day
I’ve been waiting for you
To show me the way
To give me a clue
Day after day
I’ve been calling your name
Begging you, please
Come back to me
Hey…
You…
You in the mirror
Say
What did I do so wrong today?
How come it doesn’t feel right?
And why do you smirk anyway?
Day after day
I’ve been waiting for you
To show me the way
To give me a clue
Day after day
I’ve been watching you fade
Walking away
With your head in your hands
Day after day
I’ve been waiting for you
To show me the way
To give me a clue
Day after day

I Had Enough
06:17
|
|||
I still remember how we cheated death
And how we didn’t give a damn if we got hurt
I still remember all the nights we spent
Roaming streets without a care in the world
And every time I look into the past
I realize quite fast that those were sacred times
Abound with innocence and pure beliefs
I wish there was a way for me to get it back
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta get back my sanity)
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta find a new way ahead)
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta wipe off that vanity)
I had enough, I had enough
I still remember all the dirty streets
The smell of borsch and meet, the clutter in a heap
I still remember that December
When we all made a pact to never turn our back
I still relive that sharp adrenaline
Rushing through my veins and pounding in my head
And feel the crater hole it left inside
As if a part of me is forever dead
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta get back my sanity)
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta find a new way ahead)
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta wipe off that vanity)
I had enough, I had enough
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta get back my sanity)
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta find a new way ahead)
I had enough, I had enough
(I gotta wipe off that vanity)

This Wonderful Smack
03:32
|

When your blood starts pounding
Inside your veins
Come magic purple haze
With sparks of red
The birds start singing
The sweetest tune
Then you taste, you feel, you breathe
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
When your lids get heavy
And you think you’re dead
Your entire room gets swallowed up
Inside your bed
Your mind starts chasing
The dragon’s tail
Then you wane, you fade, you drown
Into the wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
Now you flirt with it
And now you don’t
Now you dance with it
And now you don’t
Now you sleep with it
And now you don’t
Now you run with it
And now you don’t
Now you fear it
And now you don’t
Now you fight it
And now you don’t
Now you hate it
And now you don’t
This wonderful smack
This wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful…
Now you flirt with it
And now you don’t
Now you dance with it
And now you don’t
Now you sleep with it
And now you don’t
Now you run with it
And now you don’t
Now you fear it
And now you don’t
Now you fight it
And now you don’t
Now you hate it
And now you don’t
This wonderful smack
This wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful…

Words can’t go where I’ve just been
Bought me a book about a fallen friend
I learned of Satan’s origin
Hanging in hell about a half past ten
Demon tried to con me, sell me a sin
A potion of control over mortal men
As a matter of fact, I’ve got plenty of Zen
But I’ll take two sins, you got change for a ten?
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole now
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole now
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole
Sit right back and watch the world pretend
That the meaning of life is to win, win, win
And heaven knows where Satan has been
So wash your hands before you eat with him
But that was then, way back when
The sword was so much mightier than the pen
I’m a fisher of men every now and then
No, Daniel didn’t die in the Lion’s den
Can you conceive of what he believed in?
Is there more to life than a long weekend?
A world devoid of all gentlemen
Is a land that man has wandered within
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole now
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole now
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole
Sit right back and watch the world pretend
That the meaning of life is to win, win, win
And heaven knows where Satan has been
So wash your hands before you eat with him
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole now
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole now
Messed up, drawn out
Running back to my hole

Murder Is Murder
04:14
|

You call me a coward
When I object your war
Condemn me for asking
What it is we’re fighting for
You call me a coward
When I refuse to kill
Solely for profit
So you can get your high and thrill
You call me a coward
For questioning your lies
Collateral damage
Is no solace when children die
You call me a coward
But I don’t give a damn
No smoke and mirrors
Will ever make me wonder who I am
Men will fight and men will die
Many men will never know why
They’ll come up with a million ways to justify
But murder is murder in His eyes
Men will fight and men will die
Many men will never know why
They’ll come up with a million ways to justify
But murder is murder in His eyes
You call me a coward
For questioning your lies
Collateral damage
Is no solace when children die
You call me a coward
But I don’t give a damn
No smoke and mirrors
Will make me question where I stand
You are the coward
Behind your mighty force
Calling us heroes
Because we plow with no remorse
You are the coward
Within your hallowed halls
With your executive orders
For your belligerent sick cause

My Heart
05:02
|

I saw you walking through the open door
There you were, you could hide no more
I waited long for this day to come
To embrace me like the morning sun
You never left even though you'd gone
I heard your voice many times before
Soft spoken in a time of war
You calmed me down and I’d cry no more
My heart was dead on
Always knew you’d see me home
My heart, it knows
Your soul will always lead me on
You always knew how to take a stand
To moderate like Superman
You mesmerize me with your haunting smile
And stupefy me with your commending style
You paralyze me as you read my mind
And hypnotize me with your magic bind
Your signals beam like a satellite
They shudder deep and mystify
My heart was dead on
Always knew you’d see me home
My heart, it knows
Your soul will always lead me on
My heart was dead on
It always knew you’d see me home
My heart, it knows
Your soul will always lead me on

I Know That
05:52

Building equals burning
Aiding means enslaving
Propagating equals lying
Multiplying means more dying
Weighing equals seeing
Sacrificing equals feeling
Starving equals yearning
Thinking equals learning
I know that
Tell me how to live
With all that
I know that
Come and help me breathe
When I’m mad
Poverty bears frustration
Misery breeds desperation
Business means assassination
Conclusion spells illusion
I know that
Tell me how to live
With all that
I know that
Can you help me breathe
When I’m mad
I know that
Tell me how to live
With all that
I know that
Come on help me breathe
When I’m mad

Days of Glory
05:14
|
|||
I see you through the foggy window
Head to toe in black you tread
I’m starting to discern the symbols
And peacefully I lay my head
I’m ready to begin the journey
And travel back in time with you
I fear not what lies before me
I need to hear your point of view
Tell me a little story
About those giant men
About those days of glory
Make me feel ashamed
You enter like the wind from shore
And spread out like a shadow’s shade
I feel as if we’ve met before
But I can’t remember how it went
You’ve come to tell a bedtime story
Or something else you have in mind?
I give myself to you, don’t worry
Just promise me to treat me kind
Tell me a little story
About those mighty men
About those days of glory
Help me comprehend
Tell me a little story
About those noble men
About those days of glory
Help me understand

Don’t Twist My Mind
04:11
|
|||
Each time I turn around
Hoping you will be behind
The empty room keeps laughing at me
Break down, hit the ground
My mind has locked me out
And I just can't keep it real
Right on, gotta move on
Pick myself by the ropes
Shine my shoes and get some new clothes
Deadlock - bust it up
New start, gotta crank it up
There will be no more messing around
Tell me off
Let me down
Brush me off
Sell me out
But don't twist my mind
Set me up
Turn me in
Shut me up
Kick me out
But don't twist my mind
Step up, pick it up
Never mind we messed it up
Look at me I'm ready to dance
A time bomb or sweet romance
come closer and take a chance
No matter if it makes no sense
Come on, just once more
Buckle up, it is time to go
Rack 'em up this time it's for real
Head on, fear no more
Stand tall, the game is on
Sometimes you gotta crash to break free
Tell me off
Let me down
Brush me off
Sell me out
But don't twist my mind
Set me up
Turn me in
Shut me up
Kick me out
But don't twist my mind

They Got No Melody
04:37
|
|||
You believe in magic
You believe in dreams
You don’t even know
What fear means
You bestow to people
The eternal youth
With your words
And with your every move
I can hear them whisper
All in disbelief
As if you’re from another time
And place away from here
I can see the madness
Creeping up their eyes
And the fear taking over
Their sensors in their minds
They got no melody
They got no melody
They got only dissonance
They got only dissonance
Look at all the people
And their fancy shoes
Gathering around this crazy fool
Look at all the people
Blinded by the light
Paying tribute to their choice of vice
You can see them dreaming
You can see them yearn
The life they always wish they had
But never got their turn
You can see the fire
Growing in their eyes
The anger feeding off the flames
Now they want your life
They got no melody
They got no melody
They got only dissonance
They got only dissonance
They got no melody
They got no melody
They got only dissonance
They got only dissonance
They got no melody
They got no melody
You believe in magic
You believe in dreams
You don’t even know
What fear means
You bestow to people
The eternal youth
With your words
And with your every move
I can hear them whisper
All in disbelief
As if you’re from another time
And place away from here
I can see the madness
Creeping up their eyes
And the fear taking over
Their sensors in their minds
They got no melody
They got no melody
They got only dissonance
They got only dissonance
They got no melody
They got no melody
They got only dissonance
They got only dissonance
They got no melody
They got no melody
They got no melody
They got no melody

Paranoid Pigeon
03:49
|
|||
Digging deep into my bag of bullshit
I realize I’m just a man
An animal evolving faster
Than evolution’s original plan
Money makes, makes me happy
Twenty dollars for a tan
NASA bought, bought the moon
And the moon men they all ran
Next week we’ll lasso Mars
Incorporate the stars
Every night we all get wasted
At hip new Martian bars
We are so, so complex
We even pay for sex
It is easier than marriage
To generation X
It is time for you to make a decision
Take a step back from your television
Don’t just be another paranoid pigeon
How many wars in the name of religion?
The atheists’ greatest fear
Is the possible power of prayer
So I’ll pray for their souls
And give them all a scare
My favourite part of being
Is the beauty that I’m seeing
When I look at waves and trees
Every envious evil flees
Magic floats, floats in dreams
And I can move the world
The only thing that I need is
An electronic girl
So now I have, have to heave
This final thought at you
If in something you believe
It just might make it true
It is time for you to make a decision
Take a step back from your television
Don’t just be another paranoid pigeon
How many wars in the name of religion?
It is time for you to make a decision
Take a step back from your television
Don’t just be another paranoid pigeon
How many wars in the name of religion?

Move on (Wind)
04:51
|
|||
You can spend all your life
Finding meaning on the ground
You can simply close your eyes
Start chasing dreams that do not count
You can waste all you've got
And end up stuck in a rut
You can drift like a leaf
Falling slowly to settle down
Move on beyond
You shouldn’t wander
Keep on moving on
Life's a wonder
You can set yourself free
With the power of your mind
Best if you can realize
What it is you need to find
Lift your head up and breathe
Let the wind be your guide
Turn your eyes to the sea
And feel the breeze, it'll let you fly
Move on beyond
You shouldn’t wander
Keep on moving on
Life's a wonder
Move on beyond
You shouldn’t wander
Keep on moving on
Life's a wonder
Read on beyond
These gloomy headlines
Rise on above
This sea of stillness

Blue Is Power
04:05
|

It makes me blue I don't know why
Just opened up my eyes
The sun is soothing but I'm sad
More tired than last night
Is it right I should remind me
To be happy and content
Say it loud to believe it
How did I descend?
Hold on, hang on
Tell me blue is power
Blue is like my soul
Hold on, hang on
Tell me blue is power
Blue is like my soul
Yes, I wasted quite some time
But how could I have learned?
See me blue, I sing to you
A tear is cutting loose
It is not a battle
The key is to endure
Hold on, hang on
Tell me blue is power
Blue is like my soul
Hold on, hang on
Tell me blue is power
Blue is like my soul
And now you know
How blue, how naked
Is my soul when I sing this song to you
Hold on, hang on
Tell me blue is power
It takes me home from wherever I've gone
And now you know
How blue, how naked
Is my soul when I sing this song to you
Hold on, hang on
Tell me blue is power
It takes me home from wherever I've gone

Ordinary Life
04:26
|
|||
You can ignore me but the more you do
The more I’ll keep on getting up so it’s understood
I’ve come a long way to tell the tale
For this life is truly meant for living, and not for rent or sale
The more I know the less I see
How logic shakes hands with reason while they disagree
Is this the path I chose or did it choose me?
I feel blinded by the obvious, so please help me be
Ordinary life - undisputed master of will
Herd us down the hill, spin us like a ball
Till we give in
The more I see the more I wish
There was more than what I care to see inside my dish
I wake at night and I can’t fall asleep
So I carry on sleepwalking as I drag my feet
Ordinary life - undisputed master of will
Herd us down the hill, spin us like a ball
Till we give in
Ordinary life - it knows how to keep us at bay
Feed us just enough, spoil us just a bit
And tuck us in bed

Another Moment
04:57
|
|||
Another moment and what you hold is gone
Another moment and you're all alone
A single moment is all it takes to blow
Away forever everything you know
Such a long time since I thought this way
I thought I got it but I got caught in the fray
As if tomorrow never came my way
And yesterday was light years away
Another moment is standing in your way
It's like a dirt road, dry and hard, a fork ahead
Another moment and we start again
From the beginning, one more time, the end
Take a deep breath now and look ahead
Here we are in the moment
So many moments never ever count
And then there comes one and turns everything around
Such a long time since I thought this way
I thought I got it but got caught in the fray
As if tomorrow never came my way
And yesterday was light years away
Such a long time since I thought this way
I thought I got it but I got caught in the fray
As if tomorrow never came my way
And yesterday was light years away

Tell Me How You See It
03:50
|
|||
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me how you see it now
Tell me how you see
Tell me how you see it now
Tell me how you see it
‘Cause I can feel the tear down my eye
My mouth is dry ‘cause you’re not the guy
I dreamed and cried, I can’t believe (it)… what a lie
You make me sweat, then you make me wet
This craving I can’t let it go and you know
You’ve got control of my rock’n’roll
You promised that you’d catch me but I still fall
Tell me how you see
Tell me how you see it now
Tell me how you see
Tell me how you see it now
I don’t want to know, I’m gonna let you go
‘Cause you fuck my mind from behind
Come on hold me tight with all your might
‘Cause this will be the ride of your life
You make me sweat, then you make me wet
This craving I can’t let it go and you know
You’ve got control of my rock’n’roll
You promised that you’d catch me but I still fall
Tell me how you see
Tell me how you see it now
Tell me how you see
Tell me how you see it now
I need a fix of your special mix
‘Cause I’m flying to the beat of your heart
And you’re the lie with the alibi
Yeah, your special brand will tear us apart
Oh, tell me how you see it
‘Cause I can feel the tear down my eye
My mouth is dry ‘cause you’re not the guy
I dreamed and cried, I can’t believe (it)… what a lie
Tell me how you see
Tell me, tell me
Tell me how you see it now

Once in a Lifetime
03:38
|
|||
Once in a lifetime is every day
Once in a lifetime got to find a way
To follow the sublime for there’s no better time
to grab onto your dreams before they die
Once in a lifetime
Every morning the sun will rise
But every morning do you realize
The sky is endless and your dreams are too
The only limits are inside of you
Every evening the sun will fall
But any evening will you heed the call?
Your choice is endless, what will you choose?
Create a life in which your limits lose!
Once in a lifetime is every day
Once in a lifetime got to find a way
To follow the sublime for there’s no better time
to grab onto your dreams before they die
Once in a lifetime is every day
Once in a lifetime got to find a way
To follow the sublime for there’s no better time
to grab onto your dreams before they die
Once in a lifetime
Every morning the sun will rise
But every morning do you realize
The sky is endless and your dreams are too
The only limits are inside of you
Every evening the stars will rise
And every ending is a compromise
Love is endless and if it fades away
it will return on a brighter day
Once in a lifetime is every day
Once in a lifetime got to find a way
To follow the sublime for there’s no better time
to grab onto your dreams before they die
Once in a lifetime is every day
Once in a lifetime got to find a way
To follow the sublime for there’s no better time
to grab onto your dreams before they die
Once in a lifetime
