Tambourine skin
03:28

Sitting in my black card paid apartment
Watching how the rescue is coming at me
you are paying for what we did, dont you know, boy
while we put the blame on you, tambourine skin
we burned, we wasted, we laughed in your face
and we will do it again
as this is world we owned
enjoying that we love
in a tambourine skin
Dont care too much about the troubles
The justice has short arms and is paid by me
Nobody would dare to send me in that cold bench
As long as they would love to keep their fancy dress
we played, we handle, we lie in your face of tambourine
and we will do it again
as this is world we owned
enjoying that we love
in a tambourine skin

Jhon's book
05:32
|

…and Jhon read the book
and flew away
spacecraft
dark skies…
…and Jhon took control
engines on
the sequence starts
Nine hundred miles
A tiny blue point
seems we are one
Do you really want to continue dividing anymore?
And Jhon arrived in
the promised land
all elated people
with open arms
Smell's of mint
Peace and love
Do you really want to know how the story deads?
…and Jhon was advised
Drums of war
Impure drugs
Marked cards
He served the sentence
Slaves and lords
Do you really want to continue dividing anymore?
And he wrote a book
For a new Jhon
With spacecrafts
And dark skies
A tiny blue point
On seems we are one
Do you really want to continue dividing anymore?
respect the will of a people
freedom and peace for a people
one nation, one justice, one race
freedom and peace for a people

Over my head
03:10
|

|
You know the thin line
The world closes up on me
the world is closing in on me
My car is sunken down the sea
Of my tears
You know the thin line
Between you and me
My gun is hidden down my bed
Waiting death
I am going to fire my gun
I am really going to fire my gun
Over my head
You know the thin line
Between the love and hate
My ticket lost aware
Is not a fair
You know the thin line
Between right and wrong
Paying attention to your bluff
Too much scuff
I am going to fire my gun
I am really going to fire my gun
Over my head

Brand new day
04:51
|
|||
|
I woke up this morning
To a brand new day
Too much darkness
In my sunset bay
The fall was hardest
Than a diamond stone
Now the sun is shining
Welcome to the warm
The darkness is gone
Let the sun comes today
It's a brand new day
The pulse beats again
The darkness is gone… today (2)
I was trapped and tied
In a golden cage
Stockholm syndrome
All over this years
Now the cage is broken
The dark came on
Now I can breathe fresh air
Welcome to the warm
The darkness is gone
Let the sun comes today
It's a brand new day
The pulse beats again
The darkness is gone… today (2)

Belong to me
05:01
|

You are flying
You are flying fast
I am walking so so slow
You are dreaming
You are dreaming in blue
I am thinking
I am thinking in black
Like a crow in a live town
Like a vulture waiting death
Writing lines describing why
We killed the last try
If you appear on the garden tree
I will not fire you again
If you appear on the garden tree
I will not fire you again
I am not live in your words
I thought you would belong to me
I thought you would belong to me
It’s raining
It’s raining now
Fine drizzle on my skin
Sunrises
through the clouds
And the rainbow rose up in the sky
If you appear on the garden tree
I will not fire you again
If you appear on the garden tree
I will not fire you again
I am not in your words
I thought you would belong to me
I thought you would belong to me
I thought you would belong to me
I thought you would belong to me

Dirty roads
03:59

Singing Elvis
Not much fuel
Moving pelvis
Baby don’t be cruel
Five pm on a Tennessee road
Burned smells
from this old truck
Two hot beers
Sweet on my feet
Two hundred miles
To reach the sky
Banjo, piano and double bass
A needed drug in my brain
Music city
USA
Cumberland border
Between heaven and hell
Country boots
On dusty ground
Your blue eyes
Nothing around
Banjo, piano and double bass
A needed drug in my brain
I don’t know why
Even in my wildest dreams
I feel alone
I don’t know why
Me and you
Broke the limits
And you have gone
1860
Henry Riffle
Down my seat
Waiting for prey
Whiskey bottle
Martin guitar
Two red roses
On my back
One well-aimed
To cross your heart
Sweet four chords
Come on down and go
Still dirty roads to cross
Sweet four chords
Come on down and go
Still dirty roads to cross

If you go
04:44
|

If you’re going down the street
To buy fresh peaches in the Muslim shop
If you’re going to go
Leaving empty space on the floor
If you’re going on the straight and narrow
That drives me to the end
If you’re going to go
Far away
If you go
If you go
If you go
Lighting off
In our living room
Haunting gaze
Through the window’s glass
If you go
The sound of the closing door
The shocking thunder in the storm
The scary picture on the wall
If you go (4)
If you’re going for shopping shoes
That allow you to run faster
If you’re going to go
Tasting drinks in a club
If you’re going to drive a car
Crossing those misty roads
If you’re going to go
Far away
If you go
If you go
If you go
Cadillac ride
By the valley port
No calls
on my cell phone
Through the window’s
your shadow silhouette in the rain
Whiskey bottle
For my pain
Ticket lost for your train
If you go (8)

As you know I have my National Flag
Shining on my balcony
Sunday morning with my entourage
Repaying all the sins
Can’t wait for Monday morning
To be the real King
Shirt and tie and I’ll be
The killer you’ll never see
Cos I am the King of r’n’r
I am the King of r’n’r
Two lines and whiskey
The put me on the line
Yeah two good cheats
Two new contracts
New Black money for a new
black kiss
Can’t wait for Tuesday morning
To be the real King
Shirt and tie and I’ll be
The killer you’ll never see
Cos I am the King of r’n’r
I am the King of r’n’r
A hundred pounds and a viagra
My new therapy
Lies, frauds, one more trick,
Drugs to go out of reality

The mime
04:27
|

|
No words to say
With those nonsense views
Birds flying away
In the misunderstood place
Painting white my face
Dressing black my limbs
Outlining my lips
With the hottest loud red
Mmmmmm
I have so many things to paint
that they won’t see
You know when you go
Nobody wants to go
You know when you see
Nobody wants to see
You know when you talk
Nobody wants to hear
You know when you smile
While everyone else is crying
While everyone else is crying
Sink gloves, bowler hat
The show is ready to start
A blue ball appears
And the boys smile and laugh
Silence speaks louder than words
Lies run away from the truth
Far away from the rules
Far away from the fools
Mmmmmm
I have so many things to paint
that they won’t see (2)

Need somebody
03:09
|

|
A dancer surfing around your world
A poet reciting all the words
That you ever heard
you need somebody
A kiss is flying to your lips
The breath is coming, you can feel
All that he stole
You need somebody
That helps to cross your paper bridge
You need somebody, need somebody
and immersed deep in the blue sea
you need somebody to love
to be honest I don’t know
what I am saying don’t you know
I am the writer of all those lines
that need somebody
my heart is shaking when I saw
your light sliding by the port
with all boats ready to sail
to catch somebody to love
be alert with all those harpoons
that need somebody, need somebody
be alert with all those harpoons
that need somebody to love

Passing my days
03:28
|
|||
|
Once I left the cave
where I talked with the scythe man
Once I kissed the pain
That made me stronger
Once I left the place
where I left my doubts
From which I bawled my eyes out
From which I bawled my eyes out
INSTR (1)
And then came the smiles
and I forgot the rules
Then came new lands
With my own roads
Then came the trips
Free flying fish
And I learnt that my life before was a tasteless lie
Then came the farewells
And the opening new doors
then came the oceans
and me crossing walls
Then came the times
Of loosing myself in my mind
and having time to pass time
Now the sea has calmed
and I weigh the anchor
From which I bawled my eyes out
From which I bawled my eyes out
From which I bawled my eyes out
From which I bawled my eyes out
And I see a light
In all my space
inside my brain
showed in my face
A new empty page
Out of the cage
From which now I am passing my days
From which now I am passing my days
From which now I am passing my days
From which now I am passing my days
