Wake Up
04:41
|
|||
|
the sun early rises
slowly changing sizes
of shadows of the trees in the dawn
light becomes bright
ending the night
and i yawn
dream - wake up and sleep again
dream - wake up and sleep again
mixtures of unrelated people
taking pictures of the sky
my brother is leaving in a rocket
carrying my plectrum in his pocket
is this real? is this real?
dream - wake up and sleep again
dream - wake up and sleep again
dream - wake up and sleep again
is this real? is this real?
dream - wake up - and sleep again
the sounds from the outside
are taking a slow glide
to the stunning world of my dreams
dream - wake up and sleep again
dream - wake up and sleep again
somewhere in unconnected noises
i hear the colours of your voice
hey - why suddenly you're naked?
so am i - i hope that i can make it
is this real? is this real?
sweet dreams
put me in a cheerful mood
starting the day so good

No Signal
06:20
|
|||
|
my friend - the folks below they built a highway through the sky
a sheer amount of flowing signals - clearly they should die
a wireless infidelity - atrocious sinuosity
but now it's time to kill the scary spy
no signal
with signals smashed to smithereens - the sky is pure and dry
it's free for birds and other creatures - see the angels fly
their avian virtuosity - their wheeling luminosity
immaculacy shines into my eyes
no signal
there is absolutely no signal
what an obnoxious situation
my headache is completely over
yesterday everything was fine
after years and years it is suddenly gone
what the hell happened? and when?
why are all these white feathers here?
let's try something completely different
no signal
it's quiet and clear - no signals left
- my friend - why don't you fly?
don't be afraid - for sure you will not dive - give it a try
forget about reality and get around the gravity
just spread your wings and fly and so do i
no signal

Catch the Train
05:31
|
|||
|
try - catch the train - try - try
try - catch the train - try - try
the sky is dreary gray
no lucky day
i'm feeling lonely while i'm waiting in the rain
the lovely view of you
cannot believe it's true
i cannot play the game 'cause i missed the train
try - catch the train - try - try
i was stuck in a queue
when it was due
why do you think that it is me who is to blame?
you move with decent speed
a flashy book to read
without my company 'cause i missed the train
is it my fate?
a friend or a date
all have to wait
i'm always late
try - catch the train - try - try
hold on - i'm moving now
no matter how
i'm slowly on my way to see you again
at times you have to strive
to modify your life
the tide and tables turned when i caught the train
oh

Paradox
05:28
|
|||
|
i travel fast for many years
without connection to the earth
strolling to the closest bar
get a beer and play guitar
fly light-years to the nearest star
my aging is a mystery so far
i'm getting old my brother is young
the whiskeys cold caresses the tongue
a black hole rounded - similar
to an electron orbiting its core
i'm getting warm by an on the rocks
the shaking charm of the paradox
it's pitch black - some tiny lights flicker
gazed by me - sipping hard liquor
there must be something with the clocks
ticking back the paradox
hello! hello!
that's long ago!
how are you now?
i am so so
and how about yourself?

Stay Today
05:23
|
|||
|
i'm watching you shining at our second date
carefully timing our chasing flirtations
a smile - your occasional touch leads to great expectations
our love so romantic with its unknown fate
lasting forever or end in dismay?
hey
you may go tomorrow
but not before - oh
please stay today
unavoidably landing in a one night stand
moonlight is shining on unique celebrations
its beams accentuating softly embracing sensations
we cheerfully listen to my favorite band
a love o so briefly as long as you demand
hey
you may go tomorrow
but not before - oh
please stay today
as often is happening - the seven years
it frequently happens in longer relations
our formerly paradise changes in cheating temptations
short moments of love are now shining through tears
lovers can finish but love won't disappear
hey
you may go tomorrow
but not before - oh
please stay today
lovers are ephemeral
love is eternal
hey
you may go tomorrow
but not before - oh
please stay today
stay today
stay today
stay today
stay today

Can't Go
04:15
|
|||
|
flashing lights
blinking leds
flickering signs
squeaking sounds
swerving cars
come on
we should go
now
shaking heads
pointing fingers
my love leaves
carrying a
jerrycan
in vain
we can't go
no
we can't go
no
no
no

Wrangel
04:53
|
|||
|
wrangel is an isle
the home for quite a while
of woolly animals isolated
in a permanent cold
what happened back then
will happen again
west - or be it east
last home for woolly beasts
was it men who reached the ice on the island
to hunt and control?
what happened back then
will happen again
it will happen - again
four thousand years ago
the mammoths in the snow
died away - their glaciated dreamland
came to a halt
what happened back then
will happen again

Switching Sounds
07:48
|
|||
|
subterranean rivers
flowing between walls
with unexpected silence
into waterfalls
switching sounds - shuffling notes
under the grounds where the river flows
switching sounds - shuffling notes
using the brain as a crypting code
the singular professor
managing the sounds
enables codes at random
brains go out of bounds
in the underground lab in tokyo
switching sounds - shuffling notes
under the grounds where the river flows
switching sounds - shuffling notes
using the brain as a crypting code
experimental changes
disconnections in my brain
prepared for shuffling ranges
how will i remain?
switching sounds - shuffling notes
under the grounds where the river flows
switching sounds - shuffling notes
using the brain as a crypting code

Dream Reader
05:45
|
|||
|
i'm reading the glowing skulls in the library building
the girl librarian listens to the dreams i'm distilling
everyone is devoid of mind
pupils being stabbed half blind
stay clear from the sun - read the dreams and slow down
in this town
the horn resounds its notes and the unicorns gather
i watch their golden fur in the autumn weather
standing by the river bend
younger ones eat from my hand
unaware of the waiting snow in the sky
they will die
reading old dreams on and on
without my memories and my shadow is gone
unicorns grazing along the wall
you're void of mind cannot recall
who you are
i'm reading the dreams - with scarred eyes
- and deprived of my shadow
i've lost my memories - i am functioning well though
i think that we have met before
somewhere when we had much more
a love however much is wished
cannot always exist
once was another time but now i am captured in this city
i'm fond of all the golden beasts - the librarian is pretty
the wall which the town surrounds
dying shadows on the grounds
no one hates - nobody loves - no one minds
in the end of the world
reading old dreams on and on
without my memories and my shadow is gone
unicorns grazing along the wall
you're void of mind cannot recall
who you are

Terribly Good
05:04
|
|||
|
another car another town
changing landscapes all the way
finding drinks and food and then a place to stay
between the newness all around
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
saying hello to handsome boys
half naked bodies - flashing lights
dancing with all of them during the gloomy nights
lonely traveling is full of choice
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
relaxed but tired moving on
yet forgotten what i've seen
the smart phones pictures showing me where i have been
with a coffee in the sun
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
hey - this place is terribly good
things to see and things to do
never less and always more
terribly good - but what i'm really longing for
traveling with you

Death in the Desert
05:24
|
|||
|
water! give me water
i'm dehydrated - all is dry
at noon it will be even hotter
for long fated - we will die
until nowadays we are mortal
seize all of it - every breath
at the end a filthy hospital
or a wild and thrilling death
o no - it's not an oasis
no palmtrees - no cascades - no coconuts
no living creatures - no pretty people
only sand and stones
kudos for our humpy camels
they are the only ones who will survive
no kind of contact on all our channels
this is the end of life
vibrations turn into hallucinations
wandering dunes lead to frustrations
living creatures - lovely people
are only skulls and bones
