The Saviour's Own Slump
04:40
|
|||
|
This is not
What it was before, you knew it all along
But now you fear it's all too near
A split second before it all dissolves underneath
And overall
Sounds and sights of the prime and the very last time.
Until what's fake is gone
Until the mourning comes
Until they make you numb
Until the saviour's own slump…
Would you have ever talked about your fears?
Would you have ever talked about hate?
Would you have ever talked about their pain?
Would you have ever talked about telling the truth?
Until what's fake is gone
Until the mourning comes
Until they make you numb
Until the saviour's own slump…
Would you have ever talked about this world ending?
About this very world you totally fucked up?
Until what's fake is gone
Until the mourning comes
Until they make you numb
Until the saviour's own slump…
your saviour's own slump…
Until the fakes are gone
Until the mournings stop
They won't make us numb
Until these saviours all slump…
Until the self-called saviours go down

Addicted To Ya
04:46

|
I'm addicted to ya
I am addicted to ya
She is like a rose, tonight.
Precious to the eye and soft to touch
Sometimes I am mystified
Her love's like poison ivy around my skin
I feel the heat
I feel her fire burning.
An inborn need
A sensualistic learning.
I drink your sweat
I kiss your rose
I am addicted to you
I'm so addicted to you
Her taste is like a sin, tonight
But who's the one to valuate that sin?
Feels like I hurt, inside
Cause when she goes, I miss a part of me.
Fill me now,
with you,
one more touch…
my time is up…
The home of the rose,
Outside the house of sin.

Drop The Luv Bomb
04:20
|
|||
|
We could be dancing
But we're all sad
We could be laughing but this is our big night.
West patrols reported
Choppers approaching
All launchers are loaded
And orders are clear
Some people have a left hand
For charity givings
While their right one presses buttons of war
We, we'd like to thank you
Cause now we know you
We're sorry but won't take your money for blood
Let's drop the Luv Bomb
Down on us
Down on them
I can hear the fire arms
And oil pumps working
The sound of money
Chopping the air.
This goes for years now
With different excuses
While people are dying
To make some companies rich.
Let's drop the Luv Bomb
Down on us
Down on them

High Heels On Wheels
04:57
|

|
This baby
Has bought a superbike
And found herself a way
To live her life with style.
Cold metal
Running between her thighs,
The more the need – the more the speed
A tender touch, release the clutch
And go go
To the open highway
Run
Run away from everything.
It's you, you know, and not the people that you meet.
High heels on wheels
Is there anyone you miss?
Are you scared enough to feel?
Now you got yourself a thrill.
High heels on wheels
Are you man enough for this?
Once you said you like the boys
Now you picked the other choice.
This baby
Is gonna dance tonight
She's gonna dance in Rio
Armed with the looks that kill.
It might be Rome or Paris
Stockholm, Athens, Berlin
It might be New York City
Or somewhere in between

World Out of This
07:58
|
|||
|
When you were a little child,
you used to hide under the blankets.
You kept away your parents fights,
No need to cry
Hush now, don't you cry
So you discovered a new world
happy and warm instead of cold.
Feel the breeze in the cherry trees
And drink from rivers full of milk
Your face was covered all with stars
While magic hands lifted you up
You touched the moon and sun and then
Your body was your universe.
So Cosmic and immaculate
So absolutely son of no man
With your little heart going fast
With your little heart going crazy
Don't you cry
Don't you share a tear
Close your eyes cause there's a better place
Out of this world
Listen now
You won't feel no pain
There is no hurt
There is no shame
Out of this world
I think I saw you first that night
When fireflies whispered your new song
"don't you cry", "don't share a tear" and all that…
I don't know how I found myself here…
So cosmic and immaculate
Made out of children's dreams
Out of this world out of this life
And worlds made out of this…

Burn Brightly Like Stars
03:46

All the people we know
The ones who cry
The ones who laugh
We all do our part in life
And life is a great big show
We burn brightly
We burn brightly like stars before crashing to the ground in flames
The ones we hate
The ones we love
Today we're here
Tomorrow we'll be gone

When your friends someday turn all against you
And the lovers slowly fade away
In endless nights, you will feel the cold
But life will keep you going on
Cause there's one thing you believe that makes things right
That you always
Always get a second chance
When you'll think that life is about to break you
It's this life that'll come to lift you high.
You might be feeling all alone
Feel so lost and far from home
You might feel closer to an end
And start to cry, loosing your head
But there is one thing I can say that makes things right
That you always
Always get a second chance

TV-Whoring
02:17
|
|||
|
You got me on the cover of your magazines
My face stairs out from your T-shirts
You got me dead on your 9 o'clock news
I am the hero of the day and the filth of tomorrow
But by all means
I make you rich
Cause when I am a fraud
You play God
Cause you're whoring
TV whoring for news
When I do dope you sniff some coke
But I'm on the headlines
You have to suck some cock
Not to run outta luck.
I see you smiling when I do cry
I see you spending when I try
"Here's the real deal Ladies and Gentlemen
a hard working man trying to survive"

You know I've been in better places
I had better days
If you realy wanna know
I've been in better planets too
Nothing else to say X3
Lot of things to do
Nothing else to say X2
It's all smart weapons
And sentimental rockets
I've had some better news
Weapons do kill you know
Fire power
Manpower
Rawpower
Your power - My power

While the days dry up
The clocks keep ticking
And ticking your face far away…
Is this the end for us?
The bitter taste of bliss…
Will you remember me?
And keep me close to your heart?
So nice to touch
But so fragile to feel
Harmless like a kiss
That I already miss…
Stay
Won't you stay?
How could I ever know
That Happiness is a lonely place.
The moon comes grey,
And laughters fade away
Where shadows come to play.
I wear a smiling face,
But there's an empty space
Cause happiness is just a lonely place
