tune out, log off
don't wait up *
intercept messages
desparate who
sad conclusion
scattering follows
lies and loneliness
request a backup

Feast on Acuteness
04:15
|
|||
|
patience is nice but gets us nowhere
blinds us for what we can't embrace
tragedies just waiting to happen
hear them all crumble, trying to fade
watch bodies moving
feast on acuteness
can't shake the feeling
this is where we meet
modesty's fine but leads to nothing
feel like the man who dies every day
what makes life frightning's you don't own it (because it owns you)
maybe you're praying to the wrong gods
watch bodies moving
feast on acuteness
can't stop believing
this is where she'll be
I scream, just take her out for ice cream
distorted mind says here you'll meet her
you wonder too - at night you hide
you want her to be by your side
maybe you're praying to too young gods
while others drink and dance alone

all I need
more than this
hunting high and hunting low
trail of tears
perfect day
only you
is there something I should know
wicked game
you and me
speed of sound
rage in eden
love is noise
golden brown
fade to black
only happy when it rains
suffer well
turn it on
one caress
damaged people, mercy street
free your mind
mystify (downside up)
simple creed (I will be there)
sweet surrender (you showed me)
all around (human nature)
hurry home
afterglow
sound of thunder, purple rain
almost there
now I'm here
back for good
true believers, world machine
let it be

Look Away
04:31
|
|||
|
old cars rusting nearby
wind is moaning and keeps wearing down
this empty old house
part of abandoned desire out here
these signs are of change
ground littered with forgotten towns
some telephone rings
the ones to pick up are long gone
land swallows you whole (it swallows you whole)
endless sweep of the grass and wheat fields (of grass and wheat fields)
nature reeks of life (oh it reeks of life)
everything starts as a promise bequeathed (starts as promises)
some cash and move out (some cash and move out)
those left behind grow old and they are (grow old and then they die)
numb in a vanishing world (in a vanishing world)
living debris of abandoned lives (our own sorry lives)
(home)
can’t watch, yet can’t look away
where does society go
drought and deprived hesitation makes
all power drain from within
when all hope and pride has vanished
time renders all of us lonely
obilivious to surroundings
death comes round one of these corners
indifferent to emotions
through the ages
everything must fade

Nothing to Lose
04:10
|

|
he’s going nowhere in a hurry
trying to avoid too much trouble
she walks in the room
takes all thoughts away from what he was doing
he’s totally mesmerized
he does not see the trap
she singles him out, then starts dangling him
he hardly fights back
here the trouble comes
it works every time
when she is bored and needs somebody to play
can he react fast enough
to try to go on his way?
I have nothing to lose but everything to gain
so life is a game
won’t you please take my hand
take me to a place far away from here
pride - strangest emotion of man
pride - strongest emotion of men

Der Einzelgänger
02:51
|
|||
|
In Schwanenflügel hülle ich dich
das Licht in deinen Augen.
Wenn ich das sehe atmet das Land,
die Nebel schwinden, Tropfen verdunsten.
Frühes Leuchten liegt im Grünen Zauber junger Blätter;
es duftet in meinem Herzen.
Und unerklärliche Freude liegt in der Glut meiner Hand
wenn sie reicht nach deiner.

Veel te Lang
03:16
|
|||
|
ik loop langs witte singels
niemand anders hier vannacht
een kat vlucht gauw naar binnen
stilte aan de Nieuwegracht
achter de Sint Pieter
vroeger scheen hier ooit de zon
nu krijg ik stenen voeten
duik diep in m'n capuchon
ik ga nu door de Voorstraat
de bioscoop is al op zwart
het loopt al tegen 2en
vol verwachting klopt mijn hart
van het rode schijnsel
in de Hardebollenstraat
is het maar een stukje
naar de Lange Lauwerstraat
winterkou of sneeuw of ijzel
houden mij niet in bedwang
al vriest het 40 graden
ik miste jou al veel te lang
zou ze nog wel op zijn
zou ze slapen als een roos
als ik zo laat aanbel
wordt ze blij of wordt ze boos
ik zie nog lampen branden
in mijn hart begint het feest
daar staat zij al te lachen
mijn reis is niet voor niets geweest
winterkou of sneeuw of ijzel
houden mij niet in bedwang
al vriest het 40 graden
ik miste jou al veel te lang

In the Blood
04:51
|
|||
|
the sky is dark, warm and humid
got long thin legs, gets in position
be my host tonight
let me under your skin
I’m cutting in
deeper and deeper… I’m in
rain season is here
head down low, bring the tools out
a cutting blade and a feeding tube
let the games begin
ride the wave, we ride the bloodstream
to the factory, that’s our only stop
clouds gather, downpour erupts
we’re in the blood, we hack the network
something’s wrong, so wrong indeed
they hatch, it surges

If I Tell You
02:22
|
|||
|
I do not know
what do I do
where do I go
is it with you
should I begin
to let you go
or stay within
I do not know
what will you say
if I tell you
will you walk away
or stay with me do
I have no clue
whether you'll go
when I tell you
that I love you so

Going Down Again
03:58
|
|||
|
they close the hatch - the descent starts, I'm going down
climb in the capsule - I am ready
all that awaits is darkness and they dwindle and fade
behind they stay
going down again
to the world that is under the sea
another hour is passing, still I'm descending
the temperature outside is falling below
as water pressure builds up slowly, can it be
thriving life appears
going down again
to the world that is under the sea
end is in sight - there is nothing there
yet we're going down
if a leak appears, it's game over
water will drill in like laser beams
must not think about those things right now
while we're going down again where we cannot be
and we're going down again where the landscape's an alien sight
and we're going down again and the darkness is all that I see

World Far Outside
02:59
|
|||
|
go to sleep now
set your mind free
next to me now
warm it will be
oh but it’s cold and
dark is the night
let’s keep the world far outside
every time that we meet in this song
you can tell me all that is wrong
will you not be alone inside your nightmares
let me in now to lay by your side
drifting together
succumbing to sleep
the night lingers on and on and on
