Buy a new smartphone
crafted in gold
sell me your thoughts
and give me your soul
war is over
love is all
I'll sell you some water
I'll sell you some salt
And now your heart is mine
by now your car will shine
Go back to law school
get a new life
go to the gym
buy yourself a wife
you should have done it before
glad you hesitate no more
Everything was made by mistake
just trying to set it straight
EVERYTHING WAS MADE BY MISTAKE
and now your heart is mine
by now your car will shine
My door is open
everyone knows
your heart is broken
and so it goes
however long you will try
don't know what you had in mind
everyone was born by mistake
just trying to set it straight
EVERYTHING WAS MADE BY MISTAKE

Keep on being yourself
02:26
|
|||
|
Wish you'd give me a call
I'm so bored I'm getting sober
as strange as it seems
you moved on, I stayed here
In a tiny flat
busy doing nothing at all
wish you'd give me a call
I'm so bored, I’m getting cold
Keep on being yourself and still you're not the same
I am too old now, and still, I'm way too young
Ask me to be a man
beg me to never change
'cause the world is obscene
can't figure out what it means
Keep on being yourself and still you're not the same
I am too old now, and still, I'm way too young
Let's run away from this fantasy
I know what I like and what depends on me
this time please, stop spreading lies
nobody cares about what we've been

The future
02:45
|
|||
|
I got no plans for the future
every morning is the same
every night is a dead-end
nothing left to say, day after day
I know Nothing about the future
everything is still so lame
everybody walks the same way
everyone will pay, day after day
I need nothing to rely on
there's a start and there's an end
got some friends, my legs and my brains
I've got time to understand
I hate no one that's for sure
I've already lost the game
as long as I breathe, I am ok
I will never pray, not a single day

Citizens left alive
01:50
|
|||
|
Where am I, are there citizens left alive?
do I really want to stay?
when there's nothing left to say
Are you true? look at my eyes
should I care about your lies?
I was good, you were better
we used to poison each other
Where am I, are there citizens left alive?
do you really want to stay?
there is no one here to pray
Someday the sun will burn us down
and we have grown up all so wrong
It's been so long It's fucking time
It's been so long I didn’t mind
Let's raise a glass to those we love the most
and to the ones we hate the less
let's get drunk, let's get high
until we're blind, until we die
Where am I, are there citizens left alive?
Where am I, are there citizens left alive?

Feed the shadow
02:20
|
|||
|
Have you met a friendly ghost?
now you've left for the big frost
do you feel sad and lost?
what do you fear the most?
How do you sleep without pills?
now that you're over the hills
have you hit rock bottom?
songs of pain and so on
Feed the shadow
in your mind
She'll miss your unpeaceful face
now that you are out of place
what a trip, what a blast
true love found you at last
Feed the shadow
fight the shadow
in your mind
And now you have joined
the fighting space ducks
and now you have joined
the cigarettes butts
Feed the shadow
free the shadow
from your mind

Probably nothing
03:14
|

|
Get out of bed, what a great morning
such a good day to enjoy the breeze
the weather's so fine
Let's have a walk, say hello to the sun
A pack of cigarettes, turn off the phone
a perfect light, let's stay home
lying on the couch, there is no reason to do much
Who could ask for more?
what am I waiting for?
is there something missing?
Maybe I'm lazy or maybe I'm dead
life is too loud, let's close the window
under the sink
let's crack open a fine bottle of wine
Who could ask for more?
what am I waiting for?
PROBABLY NOTHING

Center of the universe
02:44
|
|||
|
I'm finally out
while I'm finally in
I finally found the center of the universe
You may have a doubt
you may be suspicious
you may think I'm deaf, dumb and blind and pretentious
Am I here when you need me?
do I really care?
however, the sun will find his way
Am I really in this?
Is it some kind of disease?
Is there any order where I finally fit?
Am I here when you need me?
do I really care?
however, the sun will find his way
Am I here when you call me?
do I really care?
maybe it's time to say goodbye I think it's enough
Sometimes I'm nervous as hell
I don't even know how to talk to people
Sometimes I'm cocky as well
I can't deal with my ego

Bad decision
06:36
|
|||
|
I took a bad decision
whoring for attention
I have my own opinion
about sabotage and fun
from a lack of option
to self-extermination
there is no good solution
you got to deal with what you got
You're getting fat, stupid and bold
hating yourself as a day job
you get one chance then you'll get none
you got one shot...
...with a strong determination
you took the wrong direction
heading for no reason
now you're roaming on your own
For a man of action
fighting the wrong war
in a fucked-up situation
there is no turning back
there is no turning back
you'll never get it back no!
It doesn’t get any better
it's getting worst, then you're older
your life is short then it’s over
you got one chance then it's over
There's a song I've heard
written by a wino
« You get what you deserve »
he died long time ago
the best medication
for a bum on a mission
is to sleep through a season
dignified and old
You're getting fat, and stupid and bold
Hating yourself is not a day job
you got one chance and then you'll get none
you got one shot and then it’s over
It won’t get any better at all
you know you just get older and older
your life is short and then it’s over
so, hold your one chance, tight forever
'cause it’s good for you
IT’S GOOD FOR YOU x∞

What a twist
01:27
|
|||
|
We thought she would be found dead on the floor
never expected she could be something more
And everybody sings the same old song
nobody figured she could be free and strong
she understood
she's met someone
now she's got the message
and now she's got the mission
Wow she'll do what must be done
now she won't beg anyone
nobody knows where she's gone
the fat and ugly one is better than them all
oh WHAT A TWIST

Someone or something
02:30

As anybody made me
as I am?
Is there any planning
where I belong?
How should I feel
as I’m listening to this song
am I him?
was I right or am I now?
guess that on a different process
I 'm on a mission to mars
I feel like a stranger to myself
different anywhere else
Wish I could travel through space and
the good old time
It so hard to settle down
where I belong
How should I feel
as I’m listening to this song
am I him?
was I right or am I now?
Guess that on a different process
I 'm on a mission to mars
I feel like a stranger to myself
different anywhere else
I promise I can be helpful
you'll be lucky to own me
I can fix everything for you
and I'll do it almost for free
I've never really spoken
I don't think that I will
am I supposed to feel?
the fresh air and the sun?
the pain of being alone?
the joy of being born?
Do you want me to be?
someone or something

Roaming around

Don’t you feel it?
right in your heart
you did nothing wrong
you're innocent
Hear the song on the radio
don't you think it’s kind of slow?
Burn your table, smash your seat
lay your head relax your feet
do you need to take a walk?
do you want to have a smoke?
Who set the house on fire?
what made you lose your mind?
please get yourself together
everyone else is doing fine
Do you remember?
right in your chest
you did something wrong
now you can rest
Who set the house on fire?
what made you lose your mind
please get your shit together
everyone is doing fine
do you need to take a walk?
do you want to have a smoke?
Who took control of my brain?
what made me lose my mind
what made me forget my friends
everyone else is doing fine
roaming around and around.........

It won’t be easy
to find something to eat
nor it won’t be easy
to find someone to love
but I swear to you dear
you'll get what you need
Something so big
fell from the sky
that's when you realized
you were wasting your time
what a drag, don’t you think?
your life just starts and the end is near
But after all its just a new beginning
an atomic blast will reset everything
won't you tell me what you think?
It’s important to me
can you tell me what is real?
do you see what I see?
Once upon a time
the grass was so green
It wasn't so hard
to save your own skin
But I swear to you dear
you'll get what you need
But after all its just a new beginning
an atomic blast will reset everything
won't you tell me what you think?
It’s important to me
can you tell me what is real?
do you see what I see?

Back on the moon
03:51
|

|
Here I am, back home again with nothing to do
I should move, I know I won't do it
'cause I still have no clue
Summer's here and I still don’t know
why You have to go
Time goes by and I'm still wearing your old winter shirt
I'll leave with a ticket to
nowhere at all
I can change in a blink of an eye
I know it won’t hurt
Summer's here and I still don’t know
why you have to go
Now it’s time to stop denying it’s time to accept
Back to myself
our love is no more
back on the moon
playing the same old tune
Here I am, back at my mum's
with nowhere to hide
summer's here and I still don’t know
why you have to go
Back to myself
Our love is no more
back on the moon
playing the same old tune
