dreams
dreams are the biggest liars in the world
dreams are the biggest liars in the world
dreams are the biggest liars in the world
don't trust them a word
you'll only get hurt
they give you some hope
they're just like cheap dope
taste sweet, honey
but provide no money
my dream's on a slope
it's cutting my rope
and it banned me so bad
into an exile inside my head
yes, they are breathtaking
but you are always awaking
and no wire to connect them with your day
in the morning you're still shaking
but reality is breaking
every single one of them like prisoners
dreams are the biggest liars in the world
dreams are the biggest liars in the world
dreams are the biggest liars in the world
my dreams lie scattered in the dirt
dreams are the big losers of our time
my dream is just a bum begging a dime
dreams are the big losers of our time
my dream is just a bum begging a dime

Mermaid

mermaid
three years, no dance
three thousand tears per romance
all talking was a pity
now she's stalking through the city
with three beer, half a bottle of gin
27 letters in the waste bin
he bought 15 bullets
12 he shot on a bottle
three killed the boy within
polished chains
pale blood in his veins
they unmasked his saints
they changed his paint
once he was familiar to me
once this guy in the mirror was me
on the bottom of a well
one hour is one day
thoughts just fight forget how to play
words echo in the well
sharp like a bell
i tell you the years
leave a salty melody in your ear
but then you come along
pump fresh air into my lung
cheer up my song
wash the dust off my rainbow
repair the tubes for the dream flow
let's laugh about our sorrow
please bite into my arm
i wanna feel if you're real
release your breaks
i grab the wheel
you gave me boots
and they're fast
they take me out of the past
they show me a place to rest

Manual

Manual
i seek a treasure in the dust, in the dirt
i steal a feather of each bird in the world
for your pleasure
i could do this forever
a set of wings
for every weather
i'll chop the wood for a fire to keep us warm
repair the doors that were damaged in the storm
i'll calm you down in those nights that want to harm you
play this tune in the mornings to charm you
this is easy
it's easy
easy
easy
you're afraid of the wolf?
he is my friend
afraid of the ghost?
i understand
but it should be easy
easy
easy
easy

moses
why would i need a shovel in my hand?
what's here to dig man? my own grave?
i don't need your haircut
i don't need your shave
why would i need money in your bank?
what's here to pay man? my own bone?
i don't need your palace
i don't need your throne
say, why would i need your whip to lick my back?
what's here to sweat for? a bed and bread?
since i know you
i've got the rats in my shed
i won't bow, i won't beg
to your lack of respect
the big desert you spread
in my head
i won't beg, i won't bow
to your glamour and your show
the big mountains you pull
in front of my window
let my people go
let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!
why would i need your words to cut my tongue?
what's here to speak bout? that's your lie!
i won't greet you
i won't wave goodbye
why would i need your rifle in my hand?
what's here to fight for? that's my land!
i don't trust you
i don't shake your hand
you're not what i'd call a friend
a friend won't spill no tear
and a friend does not appear
in all this army gear
is that what you call kind?
kind men don't act like rats
kind men don't hang out
with the bats
i won't beg, i won't bow
cause no justice and no law
will stop this river of blood
that just reached my doorstep
let my people go
let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!

sweet dreams
i cannot walk on water
but i can freeze it to ice
you do not trust the truth?
i can offer some lies
but know, ice is such a slippery terrain
it might crack or you fall and break your back
and it gets thin up ahead
so much weight to drag
rub your waking eyes, my dear
this is worse than it seams
i can't control the fire
but it's going to calm down to a glow
yes, i chose to perform in this show
not to take a seat in the front row
though i know
every mountain has its peak
if i dig too deep, the ship might leak
yes, i want to be awake
but they disturb my sleep
dry your crying eyes, my dear
this is worse than it seams
sweet dreams
don't show them desperate eyes, my dear
they're far worse than they appear
they were here, here to steal your love
equipped with traps to set them all along your path
are you sane enough
to withstand their wrath
nothing gets between a wolf and his feast
this desire can't be ceased
if you don't want to bleed
you'll support them with meat
but dry your crying eyes, my dear
you know i'm here to be here

nude
please hit the pool ball
as hard as you can
and i put all my cash on red
you mixed the cards
now give me a hand
i don't expect a thing
but i want to play
i play till i'm nude
i don't expect a thing
but i want to play
i play till i'm nude
see i don't expect a thing
it's just when you ask my name
i wanna have the same like yours actually
if you ask bout my family
i'd love if you'd give them birth
if you ask where i live
i'd say, anywhere you like, baby
i don't know why, but i feel like growing up by your side
but i don't expect a thing
i don't expect -

juanita guerolita
the specialists you hired seem to worry
and your search warrant's expired, i'm sorry
the weapons you fired hit nothing but dirt
all your spies have been unwired to the skirt
you should have retired without a word
now the boss is tired of your work
don't you dare a riot
you wouldn't even want to try it
you can't deny it, you better buy it
apply it, take your diet
coke
say, what's your favorite quotation
does your wife know 'bout your strange relation
with this young lady at the service station
what d'you think 'bout emigration?
you know boss don't like no stagnation
what?
you don't believe in reincarnation?
too much talk is masturbation!
think about every word
my boss is tired of your work
you know what happened if i dial this number again?
well, our torturer is a very inspired man
your friends have conspired, yes
you're in a pretty admirable mess
you ought to know it best
juanita guerolita is the boss
she's the last you wanna cross
she'll charge you the cost
juanita guerolita is the boss
you're the guest she's your host
she'll get back you get lost

stranger
i have seen you
i have seen how much you have been moved
i have seen your eyes
i have seen what happened when you smiled
but i don't want to see that again
i don't want to feel that again
i touched your heart
now i can't get the stains off my hand
you have seen me
you have seen how much i have been moved
you have seen my eyes
you felt what happened when i smiled
don't you want to see that again!
don't you want to feel that again!
you touched my heart
we're full of blood

Bad Company

bad company
that's someone else in the mirror
he puts nails in my pillow
someone dances in bone
his heart as cold as stone
that's someone else in the mirror
he carved my name in her willow
sends a hollow ghost into her room
tied and sealed me up in my cocoon
that's my face in the mirror
but i look like a killer
a stray dog astray
with my mind a thousand miles away
that's someone else in the mirror
he wants always a bit more
yes he's always in need
he's got a million mouths to feed
now who's this clown in my head?
he is me – but he's such a bad company
he grows with each and every tear
what will he do when i'm not here?
now who's this boy in my head?
says he's me – but whistles such a sad melody
he gathers all my scars
and melts them into bars
