Upside Down
03:59
|
|||
Sometimes, you walk through life
In a long floating gown
Sometimes, your days pass by
As if nothing’s gonna go wrong
But life is changing, life is strange
Like a roller coaster, a sudden hurricane
It turns you
Upside down, inside out
Makes you crazy, makes you cry
Sometimes, you crawl through life
With your ball & your chain
Sometimes your days look like
A sky in a monsoon rain
But life is vicious, life is hard
Like a roller coaster, a big bunch of shooting stars
It turns you
Upside down, inside out
Makes you happy, makes you proud
You know
You might be on this earth for 70 years
Three, four, five thousand weeks, best case scenario
A big load of teeny tiny seconds
Well, life is a tale, as we know, signifying nothing
So: make the best out of it
Enjoy your time
Give as much as you can give
Try to be good, Johnny
… and LIVE!
Upside down, inside out
Makes you crazy, makes you cry
Upside down, inside out
Makes you happy, makes you proud

The Sea
03:00
|

When I look at the ocean
I can see myself diving
And the waves over me
Are takin' me again (& again & again)
Back in the blue belly
Still & smooth I remain
And the fish over me
Just carry me away (away, away)
The ocean's rocking
The ocean's rolling
The ocean's rocking
The ocean's rolling me
I watch the seaweed dancing
On the mesmeric drone
And the time over me
Is now fading away (away, away)
There I keep on being
Till my head's on the loose
What does it matter if
The world takes me again (& again & again)
The ocean's rocking
The ocean's rolling
The ocean's rocking
The ocean's rolling me

Mama

Sing me a song, Mama
And relieve me of my pain
Rock me softly, Mama
Help me loosen my chains
Listen to me, Mama
Listen to my lament
Sing me
Lend me an ear, Mama
Soothe me from my tourment
Take good care of my poor
Wounded soul, Maria
Sing me a song, Mama
Give me strength, give me faith
Hug me gently, Mama
Let me rest on your face
Mercy on me, Mama
Welcome me in your arms
Free me of my mourning
Heal me of my yearning
Wrap me in your large
Deep blue robe, Maria
I’ve been bleeding for so long
Been hearing so much crying
I feel lonely & lost
I can’t stand it anymore

Domino

You say you love me, but you don’t care
You play with me, but you’re not fair
You talk with me, but you’re not there
I feel like a puppet lying on a chair
We only have nonversations
You live in mental isolation
You get your kick from self-adoration
I’m nothing else but recreation
I don’t wanna be your domino
Give me your loving or let me go
Don’t turn my head like a yoyo
Girl!
Your look good, but your words are shallow
Your purse is full, your heart is hollow
Your heels are high, your IQ’s low
I stand beside you like a scarecrow
You kiss me like a little boy
You ignore me like a broken toy
You sure can take, but give no joy
You’re the one and only thing you enjoy
Baby, please lay down your domino
Show me your face or let me go
If you don’t need me, let me know
Girl!

Mary
04:53
|

Tonight, I’m back in my hometown
I’m walking in these streets I used to know
But I just feel like I’m moving about in a weird dream
Lost like an alien in a wrong place
And I keep going to the seaside
I sit down on a cliff in the rough wind
Gazing at the black water, I can feel my thoughts fading
As a familiar face dawns upon me
Oh! Mary, what happened to your childhood?
Young as the night in bygone days
Oh! Mary, what happened to your grace?
Soft as the night in bygone days
Now I recall the teenager
The silly lunatic romping in the sleepy squares
Who read Viennese poets with the angels by her side
And couldn’t imagine she’d ever board on the ship of fools
I saw you lately by accident
You were still beautiful, but your face looked dull and tired
Sad job, sunday, slippers: now the magic had gone
Must be trapped for good on the other side
Oh! Mary, what happened to your childhood?
Young as the night in bygone days
Oh! Mary, what happened to your grace?
Soft as the night in bygone days

Diggin'

|

Go, get digging!
Go, get digging!
I said: get digging!
We’ve got the power and you’ve got to give in!
Monday: diggin’
Tuesday: diggin’
Every day: diggin’!
But we won’t be diggin’ til the end of time!
We’ll sure be rising, some day
We’ll soon be rising…
Grandpa’diggin’
Daddy diggin’
Sonny diggin’!
But they won’t let us dig all along the line!
We’ll sure be rising, some day
We’ll soon be rising, oh yeah!
We’ll stand up and fight
We’ll get to the light
And the world might ignite
But we will stand upright!
Hey! Nigger! Get digg… NO!
Girl, get digg… NO!
You faggot, get digg… NO!
Paddy, get digg… NO!
Prole, get digg… NO!
Punk, get digg… NEVER!

Ginger Skies
04:05
|

I remember those ginger skies
Hanging above my hometown
They were on fire every night
In those days, in the late springtime
I used to meet her on the heights
We chattered in the twilight
I hardly got it at that time
As if it should for ever last!
Do you recall these crimson skies
Or was it in a former life?
They seemed to stretch for you and I
Watching over our perfect smiles
Our bonds were beyond black and white
No need to fake, no use to hide
We were as simple as a child
And for a time, the world was damn right!
They might laugh at my amber skies
Call them same old poetic lies
They’re sure unreal to the blind
Nothing but foolish lullabies
If they’ve vanished before my eyes
If they’ve receded like the tide
They were more than a dream of mine
And they still glow within my mind

Hey Man
04:16
|

Hey, man! Why are you lying on the ground?
Why are you crying your eyes out?
You’re not done, you’re not done, you’re not
done,
Help me to help you to pick you up!
Hey, pal! Look at yourself, you’re a man
You’re young, you’re strong, you still can
Don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give it up
You don’t need no one to stand up
You say that some girl stabbed you in the back
And it gave you, it gave you a crack
Well, I’m not sure that she will come back
But you’re still on the track, Jack!
Hey, Mike! How are you doing, my friend?
Your grief will come to an end
When I see you stand here, I can tell:
I once did it myself
You thought that life was a piece of cake
A road strewn with roses
Now "you’re lost, but you’re sure not stranded"
Sun will shine after the rain

Sienna

It’s been a great time, girl
Since I met your love
I couldn’t ask for more
You couldn’t give me more
You’re such a good time, girl
I can’t miss your love
My heart is in a whirl
I’m floating high above
Cause you make me strong
You make me smile
Make me quiver like a gong
Make me feel like a child
I’m stunned about your grace
Your kisses, your eyes
You brighten up my days
Enlighten my nights
Oh! Sienna!
Sweet Sienna!
Dear Sienna!

Sailing Home
05:27
|
|||
Drifting about from coast to coast
My heart is sighing
I’ve been so long like a lonely ghost
I’m tired of roaming
I traveled the world with my bows in the haze
I could have torn my tongue
Thought I was sharp, I was just in a maze
Now I long to share my song
I lost the way in my quest of heaven
For stars can guide, and stars can burn
I’ll soon be back on the track, I long for a haven
Must have been sent on this trip to learn
Ho! Ho! Sailing home!
To my folks
Back home.
Lazily plying along the coast
My mind is at ease
I’ve put down roots, I’m no longer a host
My heart is at peace
