SHELTER Mother upon your hair is growing up a shelter Father upon your face there's a heavy boundary line who will shoot ? there's an empty place where everyone belongs all we own when a thought beats a nail on the wall when a thought beats a nail on the wall I won't wake up in another shelter never ever let you go I won't drift out in another direction never ever let you go I won't give up Together we are starting over Daughter among your head is growing up the shelter Lover Between your legs there's a heavy boundary line who will shoot ? there's an empty place where everyone belongs all we own when a thought beats a nail on the wall when a thought beats a nail on the wall I won't wake up in another shelter never ever let you go I won't drift out in another direction never ever let you go I won't give up Together we are starting over Mother I just swore it to my son I just swore it to my son I just swore it to my son Father I just swore it in the sun I just swore it in the sun

SUMMER I've just predicted the end of the world that's why I'm getting bored of your laws I've just predicted that all relationships are a joke and I've no right solution just crumble in delusion and burn to burn everything Who cares about it now it's getting hotter who cares about it now it's becoming summer more and more we lose ourselves in others who cares about it now it's becoming summer I've just predicted the end of your love that's why I'm getting bored of your words I've just predicted that all intentions are a joke and I've no right solution just crumble in delusion and burn to burn everything If you release yourself into the river flow Just don’t forget about who you are and where you come from If you can laugh enough to give it a sense You can forget yourself into the summer

AHOY ! Is it a hot cold winter or is it 4th of July ? Hearing children play in hell I don’t care if you are mine Like an epiphany into coma or an imaginary light for tonight you're my Madonna and I'll be your fucking God Take it take it take it take it we're on the roof of the melee no more laws or commands and tonight we'll be one Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right it doesn't matter who you are and it will not get down and make love Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right it doesn't matter who you are and it will not get down and make it loud Like a flame burning fire I feel good when you come Don't forget what I need let’s get down and make love take it take it take it take it is the flow of the meaning sense of life makes no sense sex is life and life is sex

NOTHING AT ALL Am I a pretty lady or the devil in your tongue Am I a filthy baby or the girl from next door life is too short, you know is nothing at all nothing more Am I a creepy asshole or the good guy in your bed Am I a tourniquet or the blood in your veins life is too strong, you know is nothing at all Who I am I'm a god that pretends to be one Who I am I'm a dog that deserves a new lunch I'm in everything and everything that should go in a row We're in everything we were collisions into the universe we're in everything Please don't be scared fear is so close to fun Please don't be too brave life is all what we are Don't keep being afraid because we're nothing at all Am I a crazy deaf man or a widow’s dead man Am I a lazy batman or a brand new hero life is too noisy, you know is nothing at all

BLACK PARROT Knock on the door just having come they won the day when we were apart like a puzzle of boys and girls tell me that day what have you done? No my my home this is not the place where I am born No my my home this is not the place where I belong These are the words they've graven there silent as the face of the northern mourn like a parrot with no voice tell me that day what have you done?

THE LIARS Thoughts and reaction sweet like a lie that surround you Stolen away like a dime it was not true All we are so lonely tonight move your tongue inside a new hole surrender to what we knew All we are so lonely in this life she was not you Moving upon your fingers sliding on your bloody eyes we're alive we're the liars moving around your center I'm gonna lose my control we're alive we're the liars Joy and redemption sweet like a desire that surrounds you Stolen between the line count me out and don’t move around surrender to what we look All we are so lonely in this life she was not you

HOLLAND PARK Approach in the middle of day back to my own reality the sky was not so far Reading the line of your hand back to my own reality the light was not so fine Don’t be scared to get it don’t let move on when you want to hold it let your soul drop Don’t be scared to get it don’t let move on when you want to hold it leave your soul and go Standing in front of the day back to my own reality the sky was not so far Writing the line of your hand back to my own reality the light was not so fine

PHOENIX Hear the silence growing up extended version to live everyone connect their souls but no one remembers to breathe There's no need to spend life in concern ‘cause human race is a short story to tell States, empires like butterflies live for an instant into the great sound by this river float down by this river Entertainment slows down your minds exchanged version of dreams everyone connect their eyes but no one remembers to think There's no need to spend life in concern ‘cause human race is a short story to tell States, empires like butterflies live for an instant into the great sound by this river float down by this river

WONDERLAND Every time you pick the spot every time you choose a part don't take it so easy be sure to have no remorse you could be a number printed in black and white on a barcode don't believe in your country be sure to have no lord 'cause now you'll be your own one God there's no need to pray for us and all you'll be your own one God doesn't matter of those that think you're not let no one work for another except for one hour of love and what you make above your needs be given to the closest you could be a royal believing to have all the mercy you could be a marxist fighting for his social rank but now you'll be your own one God there's no need to pray for us and all you'll be your own one God doesn't matter of those that think you're not Every time you change your mind every time you choose to be right don't take it so easy be sure to have no regrets don't take it so easy because life gives no replay

DEAR LENNON (WAR IT'S NEVER OVER) They are suspicious of your decisions They got bright nights like days They are suspicious of your precision They got smart pills and cheap medicines There's no chance for war but here we are Born to be productive became products Hold on before starting the fight some of yours have died too young I don’t know what is going on 'cause I'm in love with war Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know? war it's never over They are dancing on the battlefield They got no mind to stop the war They are sons of a bended knee They got clean face to reveal the role There's no chance for war but here we are Born to be productive became products Hold on before starting the fight some of yours have died too young

Free as a Slave 04:30
lyrics

FREE AS A SLAVE Free as a slave pretty like a kind of a loyal what a pity that day when his head rolled away pretty like a kind of a coward pretty like a kind of a king He lived like a slave but he died holding a gun Don’t you want? Don’t you dream? You seem so paralyzed nothing wrong about your fears to let them trick you twice less is more we seem so paralyzed less is more don’t you think we seem so paralyzed Free as a slave body and soul chained in a cage while his head was found miles away from here pretty like a kind of a blue note pretty like a kind of a man he lived like a slave but he died holding a gun When you born, you’re not free You gotta fight for your sin is too far your hometown ain't no freedom where you born, is not your seal You gotta fight for your leash there' no meaning nowadays Can you get out from the corner ?
