Adónde Vas.

Adónde vas, hermano?,
Sin mirar atrás,
De qué escapas, pequeña?,
Por qué tan rápido vas?,

Que te han mentido y engañado,
Que te han ofendido e injuriado,
Que tu confianza han traicionado,
Que te han dejado tirado a un lado del camino,
Que ese, tan ansiado destino, te ha sido robado,
Que te han despojado de ese precioso pergamino,
Sobre el cual has mapeado y trazado tu camino,
Por esta vida,
Solo quieres un boleto sin vuelta, sólo de ida,

Todo estará bien,
Siempre y cuando haya un mañana,
Todo estará bien,
Quizá no hoy ni en una semana,
Todo estará bien,
Sólo tienes que respirar,
Todo estará bien,
El timón es tuyo para virar,

Adónde vas, hermano?,

Sin mirar atrás,

De qué escapas, pequeña?,

Por qué tan rápido vas?,

Que tu corazón ha sido golpeado y humillado,
Que han jugado con tu orgullo,
Que lo han arrastrado, por el lodo,
Que ahora no amas nada en vez, lo odias todo,
Que quieres dejar todo con lo que has cargado,
Enterrado en una esquina oscura y solitaria, del pasado,

Todo estará bien,

Siempre y cuando haya un mañana,

Todo estará bien,

Quizá no hoy ni en una semana,

Todo estará bien,

Sólo tienes que respirar,

Todo estará bien,

El timón es tuyo para virar,

Adónde vas, hermano?,

Sin mirar atrás,

De qué escapas, pequeña?,

Por qué tan rápido vas?,

Que hoy eres noticia del pasado,
Que te han usado y descartado,

Que te han ilusionado y hasta el cielo llevado,

En alas de humo para luego dejarte caer,
Que al igual que un periódico de ayer,
Te han enrollado y te han botado al final del callejón,
Para dejarte solo preguntándote la razón,
Que a tu fortuna te han abandonado,

Todo estará bien,

Siempre y cuando haya un mañana,

Todo estará bien,

Quizá no hoy ni en una semana,

Todo estará bien,

Sólo tienes que respirar,

Todo estará bien,

El timón es tuyo para virar,

Voltea el barco, hermano,

Salta en el charco, pequeña,

Baila en la lluvia, hermano,

Esta vida es tuya, pequeña,

Adónde vas, hermano?,

Sin mirar atrás,

De qué escapas, pequeña?,

Por qué tan rápido vas?,

My Sweet Caroline

My diamond in the rough,
Ain't that enough,
To get along,

Were we foolish in the way,
We threw our love away,
Maybe so,

My Sweet Caroline,
Please don't let it be time,
To shake hands and part ways,
My Sweet Caroline,
Let me know you're mine,
From here on until the end of our days,

With no money in my pocket,
And a heart full of love under my jacket,
I could go on,

In a tiny bed on a cold night,
Lying there only the two of us,
Just 'cause,

My Sweet Caroline,
Please don't let it be time,
To shake hands and part ways,
My Sweet Caroline,
Let me know you're mine,
From here on until the end of our days,

Walking hand in hand,
Holding each other when we're cold,
Just living and growing old,

Making love in the late hours of the afternoon,
Then lying on the floor,
Watching the moon,
As it comes up on our window,

My Sweet Caroline,
Please don't let it be time,
To shake hands and part ways,
My Sweet Caroline,
Let me know you're mine,
From here on until the end of days.

Up In The Sky

It's a cold night,
The stars are,
Shining bright,
Up in the sky,

Clouds are passing by,
I can only imagine,
What it must be like,
To be up in the sky,

My whole life,
People say,
It's awasted,
Everyday,
But I reply,
I'm a dreamer so I,
I only wish to live,
Up in the sky,

The moon's pale and bright,
I feel her light,
Shining down on me,
From up in the sky,

I wish the breeze tonight,
Would lift me up so high,
So I could finnaly be,
Up in the sky,

My whole life,
People say,
It's awasted everyday,
But I reply,
I'm a dreamer so I,
I only wish to be,
Up in the sky,

Wanna take myself out of here,
The music the clouds and the wind make,
Is the only music I wanna hear,
Want the moon and the stars to be ever so near,

'Cause up in the sky,
I know everything,
Is gonna be alright,,

Nothing to die over,
I'll pick a sweet spot,
And stay there,

Up in the sky,

My whole life,
People say,
It's awasted,
Everyday,
But I reply,
I'm a dreamer so I,
I only wish to be,
Up in the sky,
Up in the sky,
Up in the sky,

Wasted Time

A woman woke up today,
To a life she didn't know,
She looked into the mirror,
And all of the sudden she was old,

Time went by,
Decissions were made,
So was her bed,
Now she has to lay, down on it,
What went wrong,
She can't put her finger on it,

A lonely tear runs down,
Her shrinkled face,
An entire life vanished,
Without a trace,

Wasted time,
Only two words going thru' her mind,
Wasted time,
Wasted time,

A man finds himself,
Looking back to his past
He thinks back on his youth,
And goes, oh, nothing lasts,

Memories, way back,
From a disscarted time,
Are coming in waves,
Fludding his mind,

He can't help but,
Put his earlier life up on the highest shelf,
'Cause today he's nothing, no one,
Nowt but a ghost of his past self,

Wasted time,
Only two words going thru' his mind,
Wasted time,
Wasted time,

Wasted time,

Only two words going thru' their minds,

Ain't Got nothing But Time.

Lonely days are over,
Gonna pack my blues away,
Up in a hidden corner,
Start my car and head down to the frisco bay,

Can't wait to sink my toes in the water,
And feel the ocean sway,
I'm gonna wash off the things that don't matter,
And watch as the day dies away,

I still ain't got a clue,
Of what I'm trying to find,
Gonna sit the whole day thru',
I ain't got nothing but time,

Sittin' here under the moon,
Whistlin' a melody,
Trying to bang out a scrappy tune,
To keep me company,

There's something a bit blue,
'Bout sittin' under the stars alone,
Feel like all I do,
Is wait for the sun,

I still ain't got a clue,
Of what I'm trying to find,
Gonna sit here the whole night thru',
I ain't got nothing but time,

Where am I trying to go,
It still scapes me,
When I get there I'll let you know,
Unless this life forsakes me.ARealRock'N'Rolla

No one knows...(floating off)

Love the lies I don't believe,
Hate the ones I do,
Can't pin it on my mind,
Even the best of us fall thru',

The sun's always coming up,
And going down,
As are we all,
Only the sun, never hits the ground,

Don't it get a bit hard sometimes,
Walking down life's rocky roads,
No one knows for sure which paths to tread,
That's the way it goes,

In need of a hand,
To fix broken thoughts I can't repair,
Once I thought I caught a fleeting glimpse of it all,
But now it's gone, it just ain't there anymore,

Feel like I'm floating off into outer space,
In the most peculiar of ways,
Cold and numb with no sense of direction,
Just drifting away with no real sense of place.

Whatever

Let the cat out of the bag,
Tell it like it is right off the bat,
With your feet planted on the ground,
Say it without horsing 'round,
Lookie over here,
Tell it without fear,

Say whatever you say,
Don't let anyone get in your way,
Do whatever you do,
Choice is really up to you,
Be whomever you wish to be,
Beware, time's going by so hurriedly,
Do whatever you will,
While you're breathing still,
Before you make a box your home,
And set to rest your tired bones,

A chip of the old block,
Only you can say if that's true or not,
Your story is yours to tell,
The blank pages for you to fill,
It's time to get busy living,
'Coz the clock's ticking,

Say whatever you say,
Don't let anyone get in your way,
Do whatever you do,
Choice is really up to you,
Be whomever you wish to be,
Beware, time's going by so hurriedly,
Do whatever you will,
While you're breathing still,
Before you make a box your home,
And set to rest your tired bones.

L. A Dreaming

Head on down south,
To the whitesandy beaches of mexico,
Live our drams for the both of us,
'Coz I'm afraid I can't go,

Promissed you I'd always be there,
I'd always be by your side,
I ain't going nowhere,
As long as you're breathing, I'll be there for the ride,

Everything I ever did,
I did for you,
If your mind can't understand it,
I hope your heart does too,

Drive all of the day,
And the whole night thru',
Forget about L. A,
And forget about me too,

Sit by that golden shore,
Watch the waves rocking back and forth,
Sip on the sweetest glass of wine,
Light a cigarette and you'll see what it was all for,

Everything I ever did,
I did for you,
If your brain can't understand it,
I hope your heart does too,

Mybe one day you'll thik about home,
And shed a tear for a lost brother,
But don't waste a second thought on me,
I'll be long gone, so don't bother.

The Same Cards

A suicide attempt,
Amongst other things,
I wear on my sleeves,
For the world to see,

A bastard for a father,
A crazy woman for a mother,
Can't say who's madder,
Them or me,

A leaf blowin' in the wind,
IfI could I would have,
The same cards dealt to me again,
'Coz to me it hasn't been half bad,

Always been a cat,
Going over rooftops,
Dancing in the moonlight,
Looking for another try,

A bum with the soul of a poet,
My palace an old cardboard box,
I'll start my self a fire,
And cast regret into the pyre.

A leaf blowin' in the wind,
If I could I would have,
The same cards dealt to me again,
'Coz to me it hasn't been half bad,

My scars,
Make me proud,
Lying beneath the stars,
Singing out loud.

If I could I would have,
The same cards dealt to me again,

The River Wild

The river flows,
To the sea it goes,
It stops for nothing,
Yet it knows everything,
Things that are and were,
It knows before,
The things that will be,

The villagers gathered around,
At the center of the town,
To make their preparations,
When the afternoon died,
They made love in the moonlight,
Yeah, they made love in the night,

Then the drums, they sounded,
They rang in their heads,
To choose the one to be sacrificed,

They walked on down,
To the mighty river,
A woman and her child were drowned,

The river shivered,
It accepted their dear pledge,
Then they layed down
Beside the empty shells, at the edge,
At the edge of the river,
Which grew to cover their mouths,
And their noses too,
It casted the ones whose heart was beating back out,

The river flows,
Into the sea it goes,
But it doesn't go alone,
It's got a mother and her child,
To go along for the ride,
The river wild.
Yeah, the river wild,
The river wild,
The river wild,
The river wild.

Psychedelic Ride

An old indian man came into town,
In my mind I began to hear a sound,
The sound of an ancient song,
My mind was in a trance,
My body started to dance,
Last thing I remember is his glance,
He turned the key and unlocked my mind,
I entered a hidden realm,
Beyond space and time,
My eyes discovered new colours,
My hands a new way to touch,
I felt life oozing out through my pours,
My ears heard his flute play,
I sank into the peaceful thickness of the music,
I listened to the words he did not say,
A deserted land we walked alone,
The notes he played set the tone,
They layed before us a path of stone,
Seven days and seven nights,
Wihtout rest we treaded on,
 Playing that perennial song all along,
A black dove escorted us,
To the back of a blue bus,
And there we got lost,
The music started to die out,
The ground started shaking,
Yet inside the blue bus we stayed waiting,
My mind went blank,
And my eyes faded to black,
When I came to myself I was back,
Right back where I was,
The indian man was coming into town,
Only this time I heard no sound.

Idle Afterlife

The angel of death,
Drew her sweet breath,
On me tonight,
She said it's time to die,
I closed my eyes,
I heard to my surprise,
An unique sound,
In which I drowned,
With nowt a shred of sadness,
I swam in the darkness,
Caught an eternal feeling,
More thrilling than living,
Lighter than air,
I floated away,
No burdens left to bare,
No words left to say,
I left my body behind,
There was no more time,
No future, no present nor past,
Saw the worms feasting on my flesh,
Saw all the things,
That had not yet been,
Things no man ever knew,
Saw the unseen,
I became God,
Also the Devil,
I made love to myself,
The end of the battle
There was no more end,
No more beginning,
I was no longer living,
I was only existing.
Nothing left to die for,
Only emptyness,
Nothing left to die for,
Only purposelessness,
So I borrowed a soul,
And set out on my way,
Came back from the cold,
Came back down to play.
Came back down to play,
Came back down to play,
Idle afterlife,
Idle afterlife,

My way

I ain't never done,
What people expect me to do,
Yeah, I may be wrong,
But I'll be damned if I listen to you,

Coz you look at me,
You talk to me,
As you would a child,

And you ain't never said,
Anything worth while.

Can I be blamed for going the opposite way always,
We only see each other when you're coming along,
And I'm going on my own way anyways,
I live life by heart,
Thought it's been blinded for a while,
It just leaves me standing naked in the dark.

That keeps me chained down and bound,
Please don' t let it go out, your beautiful sound.


A man with thought's always the game's best player,
Though he may not always appear to win,
You speak the truth Mr. Storyteller,
Go ahead I'm listening to every word you're saying,


We're all nothing more than a dove's feather,
At one time or another we'll all fall,
Just like a feather, Mr. Storyteller,
I'm falling down through it all.

Beautiful and compelling rhapsody,
It's happening, sex in my mind,
I hear the freedom bells clearly as they chime,
Oh, charished confusion and mayhem,
A place I'd long to be at, but never been,
With dying black, and nuptial white adorned,
I'm existing once again, I'm a newborn.

Get busy mending

All the world's telling me,
What to do and who to be,
Maybe I don't wanna be anyone,
Where to go, here and there,
Maybe I don't wanna be anywhere,
Wanna drug me with stupid television,
Throw me a book, and tell me it's salvation,
Well I'm sorry I don't do superstition,
Throw me a bone and fix my situation.

Keep your glorified social status,
Don't you know that blows away like dust,
In politics and country we trust,
When it's in ourselves we must,
'Coz when a dollar sign comes their way,
They won't think twice to throw us under the bus.

All the world's telling me what I should feel,
Scared, down, frustrated that's their deal,
Maybe I just wanna feel something that's real,
Rich or poor, they say you've gotta fight,
And the burning flame of patriotism iside ignite,
Why aren't their sons the ones sent off far away to die,
Out of that omnipresent feeling in their hearts, fright.

Keep your badges and your honor,
And bring our soul brothers back to life,
Or at least go and tell their fathers and mothers,
They died over nothing, just a lie,
Put our shattered souls back together,
Make me whole, so I can be myself again,
Whoever that was, I can't remember,
You were busy breaking me, now get busy mending.

How foolish of me, I forgot,
To you I'm just a number on a paper sheet,
You've taken everything I've got,
My heart, my soul, my hands and feet.

A life well lived

He walks alone on a rainy night,
Only his memories are walking by his side,
One stone per charished moment in his pocket,
And dusty letters in his leather jacket,
Remind him of how good the good times were,
Though he wonders, what was it all for.

He never had too many things,
But what he did have, he had a lot of,
A soul to live, fingers to play, and heart to sing,
Some may say that's just not enough,
Though to me, that's more than we could ever hope to posess,
A life lived this way doesn't need any more or any less,
Make every laughter count, every tear, every breath,
For before you know it, you will have left.

Now he sits by himself by the side of the road
Watching everyone walking as they go,
As they head somewhere to hang their hats and coats,
He's a wreckadge stuck in the middle of the sea,
Surrounded by speedboats,
But at least he's free.

He never had too many things,

But what he did have, he had a lot of,

A soul to live, fingers to play, and a heart to sing,

A life lived this way doesn't need any more or any less,

Think about a life without you.

I was walking on my own,
When on a puddle of water on the road,
I saw your reflection.


I was delighted,
A fire in me was ignited,
Birds were going tweetly doo,
I had finally found you.


Now years have gone by,
You're still by my side,
I look at you,
And I can't do,
Nothing but sigh,
'Coz I can't wait,
For the day,
When I die.


'Coz then, I will be finally free of you,
Think about a life without you, that's all I do,
'Coz I was fine then,
Way back when,
You were just a stranger,
Now you've become a changer,
You've turned my life over and around,
You've gotten me upside down,
You've turned my smile into a frown,
I used to be up in the clouds,
Now I'm here stuck with you and without,
All the things I dream about.


Your skin to me is so coarse,
It's hard to think of anything worse,
Than your touch,
It's just too much.


Your voice when you sing,
Is deafening to me,
It makes my ears ring,
And my brain curl up and go crazy.

Now years have gone by,

You're still by my side,

I look at you,

And I cannott do,

Nothing but sigh,

Remember me. (If you love me)

Looking to the future and what it may bring,
Makes me ponder on all of the things,
That'll come, and those that will never be,
The man I'll become, the things I'll do and see.


I drift away and go to,
A time when I'm not around,
I wonder if someone'll still remember me,
Even after I'm buried six feet underground.


If you love me, remember me,
Think of me for a while and then let me go,
If you hate me, cast me out and be free,
Life's too precious to waste it so.


I can't wrap my head around the "not being here",
Guess the "where do you go" part's got me knee-deep in fear,
I wanna live before I die,
But I also wanna remain, after I fly.


When I've shed my last look upon the world,
And everything around me grows thin,
Will I hear the solemn cry of a colourful girl,
While I'm slipping into an unknown setting.

If you love me, remember me,

Think of me for a while and then let me go,

If you hate me, cast me out and be free,

Life's too precious to waste it so.

Every step I take,

Gets me closer to a place,

I'm too afraid to know,

I just don't wanna go.

If you love me, remember me,

Think of me for a while and then let me go,

If you hate me, cast me out and be free,

Life's too precious to waste it so.

Just hold me for a while

I feel the darkness aproaching,
Can't tell if it's good or bad,
Feel the urge of returning,
Of going back.

Afraid to see what lies ahead,
I'm petrified,
I'd rather stay here instead,
But I know it's time to say goodbye.

Just hold me for a while,
As I slip away,
Just hold me for a while,
There's nothing left to say,
Just hold me for a while,
Don't let myself get in the way,
Just hold me for a while,
Forever and a day.

Soon my eyes will see no more,
Everything is fading to black,
The knob's turning on it's own, don't wanna see what's behind the door,
Fear sinks in, my heart's racing, I know I can't go back.

My memories like leaves that fall from the trees,
They're all sliding away,
Flying out of my head and away from me,
And not unlike them, I'm unable to stay.

Just hold me for a while,
As I silp away,
Just hold me for a while,
There's nothing left to say,
Just hold me for a while,
Don't let myself stand in the way,
Just hold me for a while,
Forever and a day.

Just hold me for a while,
Just hold me for a while.

Where I long to be

You know when your mind wanders away,

Back to happier times,

You remember your childhood loves,

The first time you listened to your favorite band,

Or the first time that a person held your hand,

And you look around at your life today,

And you ask yourself,

When did the person you used to be went away,

'Coz now the good times ain't as good,

And the happy times aren't as gay,

But the bad times sure are bad,

As the sad times are surely the saddest ones,

If only you could go back,

To when everything was magical,

When love was just automatical,
You didn't have to pray for it to be reciprocal,

To when a handshake was a real one,

When it wasn't a prelude to the stab to come,

To when everything was so simple,

Now it's all complicated and radical,

Take me back and leave me,

Where I long to be.

You go through your old school pictures,

Then you look at your face in the mirror,

You begin to realize that you ain't gonna be young again,

Then you understand that someday your story will end,

It hits you like a freightrain, one day you'll die,

But you've gotta pick yourself up off the floor, open up the door,

And go out to live 'til you die, it ain't no time to sit around and cry,

Though at times you'll go

If only I could go back,

To when everything was magical,

When love was just automatical you didn't have to pray for it to be reciprocal,

To when a handshake was a real one,

When it wasn't a prelude to the stab to come,

To when everything was so simple,

Now it's all complicated and radical,

Take me back and leave me,

Where I long to be.

The only way I know how to be

I ain't never been the kind of man to say things,
Wordlessly,
Guess all these eyes o' mine can do is see,
Perhaps it's my fault, I've always been too lazy,
To teach them how to speak.


I've never had a good way with words either,
It takes the longest time, for these fingers to write,
Anything worth while reading,
Can't be blamed for being a quiet guy,


I never say anything,
Unless it's worth saying something,
And when I do, it comes out wrong,
Think that explains why I'm always on my own,
Maybe people get offended too easily,
Or maybe ev'ry time my tongue lets loose it crosses a line,
But this is the only way I know how to be.


My old lady asked me something the other night,
Can't remember wot it was,
Guess it wasn't too important 'coz I didn't reply,
She told me I didn't care 'bout anything she said,
And I told her not always, only at times,
She slapped me across the face and threw me out,
That's wot I get for saying wot's really on my mind,


But it ain't that I'm a bad guy,
I just can't seem to get along with lying,
I always say wot I feel whether I'm wrong or right,
Guess we'll find out, in time,

I never say anything,

Unless it's worth saying something,

And when I do, it comes out wrong,

Think that explains why I'm always on my own,

Maybe people get offended too easily,

Or maybe ev'ry time my tongue lets loose it crosses a line,

But this is the only way I know how to be.

It's all touch and go

Everything in life is touch and go,
You can only do wot you feel's best,
But don't take my word for it,
It's just a foolish man's guess,
A woman's all alone in her living room,
A sad song plays, while she dances in a wornout dress,
A forgotten man sits alone in a crowded pub,
As he waits for an unknown guest,
That just won't show,
At least not tonight anyways,
It's all touch and go.

So, you never quite know wot to do,
The shadow of doubt falls over you,
It's just the way it is, nobody knows why,
The only thing we do know,
Is that we don't know,
And it's ok to let that show,
We're all scared, can't you tell,
It's all touch and go.

A washed out soul sits alone beneath the trees,
Her hair's blown back by the cold winter breeze,
Her face is pale, she's down to her last finger nail,
She saught to trail an unknown path, and she failed.

So, you never quite know wot to do,

The shadow of doubt falls over you,

It's just the way it is, nobody knows why,

The only thing we do know,

Is that we don't know,

And it's ok to let that show,

We're all scared, can't you tell,

It's all touch and go.

Ev'rythin's touch and go,
How will it all go,
Who's to know


It's all touch and go.

You've Just Gotta Look Out Your Own Eyes

I belong to you,
And you belong to me,
We're all brothers and sisters,
Can't you see,
'Coz we're all thrown together,
In this wonderful clusterfuck we call life,
Thus it's been and thus it'll be forever,
You'll see it too when you start looking out your own eyes,
Ev'ryone says they're from here and there,
When we're all from the same place,
Why have you got those tired eyes for,
Wipe those tears off of your face,
'Coz we're all thrown together,
In this wonderful clusterfuck we call life,
Thus it's been and thus it'll be forever,
You'll see it too when you start looking out your own eyes,
I know it ain't no easy situation,
Walking down this strange road,
But before your mind starts spinning outta control,
Try to realise something you already know,
That we're all thrown together,
In this wonderful clusterfuck we call life,
Thus it's been and thus it'll be forever,
You've just gotta look out your own eyes,
Though I've tryed,
So many times before,
For the life of me I can't figure out why,
We just can't seem to find out how to open the door.
'Coz we're all thrown together,
In this wonderful clusterfuck we call life,
Thus it's been and thus it'll be forever,
You've just gotta look out your own eyes,
Oh you've gotta look, (X4)
Oh, you've gotta look out your own eyes. (X2)

On The Wrong Side Of The Tracks...

A rainy day,

A lit cigarette,

A lonely man smokes himself away,

With no answers to the questions in his head.

His soul sinks,

Into a dark abyss,

As he thinks,

Of all the chances that he missed,

A life of wasted opportunities.

Deep inside his soul,

He knows,

He's on the wrong side of the tracks,

But walking on, he goes,

It's too late to turn back.

Gazing out his window,

At all the faces passing by,

His heart falls low,

And his sorrow flies high.

He turns away,

Stares out into open space,

He's all alone, he's a cast away,

An empty heart beats alone in an empty place.

Deep inside his soul,

He knows,

He's on the wrong side of the tracks,

But walking on, he goes,

It's too late to turn back.

Deep inside his soul,

He knows,

He's on the wrong side of the tracks,

But walking on, he goes,

It's too late to turn back.

That's who I am

I'm an on-land sailor,
A storyteller,
A dreamworld dweller,
An illusion seller,
I ain't got money,
Ain't pretty or funny,
At times dark but never sunny,
There ain't nothing more than meets the eye, honey,
Jeans over suit,
Cigarettes to fruit,
A drunk to boot,
Just aim and shoot,
Truths over lies,
Ears over eyes,
Jesus Christ?,
No, I ain't that wise,
A heart o' gold,
So I was told,
Growing old?,
That's only for the bold,
When I was a boy I was a liar,
Not by choice by desire,
Should I burn in the pyre,
Hope not, 'coz I hate fire.
Curious about the end,
What's around the bend?,
A very popular man,
Who's in need of a true friend,
Ain't scared o' dyin',
No, I don't mind,
Alive and dead, there's but a line,
Of the finest kind,
That's who I am,
Not a perfect man,
Have tried, but I just can't,
There are broken things you just cannot mend.

Lost in translation...

I took this train down to nowhere land,
'Coz I can't handle the strain, of always trying to understand,
There's just too many if's and why's and how's,
So I got up and went and left this shattered house,
Packed my memories neatly in my suitcase,
And hit the road, to another place.


I don't know where it is that Imma goin',
But I sure know where I've been,
I plan on goin' wherever the wind's ablowin',
Hopefully it takes me to the city of the unseen,
'Coz I find it hard to take all this here attention,
I miss those days when I had a reputation,
It's time for some long overdue vacations,
I'm aplanning to get lost in translation.


Why is it so damn hard just livin',
I find at times it gets a lil' hard just breathin',
You're awalkin' and atumblin',
And your world all around you is acrumblin',
You think about all the things you've done,
And all the choices you've made, somehow seem broken down and wrong,
Just like the most beautiful of roses, has it's thorns,
So do we, they spring out on the day we're born.

I don't know where it is that I'm agoin',

But I sure know where I've been,

I plan on goin' wherever the wind's ablowin',

Hopefully it takes me to the city of the unseen,

'Coz I find it hard to take all this here attention,

I miss those days when I had a reputation,

It's time for some long overdue vacations,

I'm aplanning to get lost in translation.


'Coz I can't stand, to just stand and wait,
All the tolls I needed to pay, have been payed,
Oh, brother they've been payed at the highest price,
They've left me way in over my head, without even a dime to drop dead on,
So now I'm just asingin' lullabies.

I don't know where it is that I'm agoin',

But I sure know where I've been,

I plan on goin' wherever the wind's ablowin',

Hopefully it takes me to the city of the unseen,

'Coz I find it hard to take all this here attention,

I miss those days when I had a reputation,

It's time for some long overdue vacations,

I'm aplanning to get lost in translation.

Now that I ain't got you...

The smell of cigarettes on my hands,
Tells me it was good night, last night,
The smell of liquor on my breath,
Tells me that last night, I went for a little ride,
The smell of the night on yesterday's clothes,
Tells me I ventured to the wildest side,
And two birds lying sleeping beside me,
Tell me I'm ready for another go 'round, another try.


'Coz I'm free now that I ain't got you,
I breathe the soothing danger of the night,
Have no guilt trips over doing wot I wanna do,
And yes I may be blue from time to time,
But the right kindda wrong company,
And the toys of the night life, make my moon shine,
'Coz I'm free now that I ain't got you.


The awoken essence of primal instincts,
Tells me that last night in my sheets, there was a rollercoaster ride,
My heart sees it all, smokes it all, drinks it all, does it all,
Pass it down, pour it up, take it to the top, and gimme a light,
I'm a rooftop walker, a straight talker, and a danger stalker,
I'm a rolling stone, a rock'n'rolla to the bone, and I rock and roll alone.

'Coz I'm free now that I ain't got you,

I breathe the soothing danger of the night,

Have no guilt trips over doing wot I wanna do,

And yes I may be blue from time to time,

But the right kindda wrong company,

And the toys of the night life, make my moon shine,

'Coz I'm free now that I ain't got you.

A Nameless Godess. (In a Cool Long Red Dress)

I was at a party,
Lost in the crowd,
When I saw her,
She was standing there,
Nothing short of a godess,
Smoking on a cigarette,
In a cool long red dress,
It was there and then,
When I knew,
She would put everything,
Who I  was, to an end,
And there was only one thing,
I could really say,
Hoka hey, hoka hey, hoka hey,
When my lips,
First touched hers,
My heart broke a dozen times,
And in my ears,
The bells of fate began to chime,
She put my mind at ease,
And my heart in overdrive,
We got lost in each other,
The hours flew by,
Her naked body covered,
And sheltered mine,
From that old, that very old,
And familiar cold,
Before we knew it, the dawn had shown its face,
And bluntly, the sobriety of the new day,
Overshadowed, the drunken haze,
Of the night before, which faded away,
All too soon,
It was all sun, there was no more moon,
She kissed my cheeks goodbye,
She slipped past the door,
And ever since then I,
I ain't seen her no more,
That nameless godess,
In her cool long red dress.

If Only You Were Here. (My Dark Haired Friend)

I wish you were here by my side,
The waves are crashing at my feet,
I feel the ocean piercing through my eyes,
I'm sinking into the bottom of this moment, so freely.
The wind's whispering it's sweet music in my ear,
It's letting me know the hour comes near,
But everything is alright, I have no fear,
I'm signing off, I'm about to dissapear.


And all the while I'm thinking of you,
I can see your face so clearly,
Painted on a cloud up in the sky,
Time slips away so hurriedly,
From a thousand miles away I can hear your sigh,
I take hold of this feeling with all I've got, but it's coming to an end,
If only you were here, my dark haired friend.


I feel the sunshine resting on my chest,
I'm like a child all over again,
This pristine sensation of life, I know it best,
I'm no longer bound to anything, I shook lose from my chains,
I wanna pour myself into your warm embrace,
I wanna feel your breath on my skin,
I wanna fix my gaze upon your face,
I wanna feel your heart beating up against mine, while this moment grows thin.

And all the while I'm thinking of you,

I can see your face so clearly,

Painted on a cloud up in the sky,

Time slips away so hurriedly,

From a thousand miles away I can hear your sigh,

I take hold of this feeling with all I've got, but it's coming to an end,

If only you were here, my dark haired friend.


I'm loosing you in the horizon,
I feel the tide's already arising,
The sun's fire has burntout for the day,
The moon alights the sky, she's here to stay,
And stars spring out, like roses in may
I grab hold of the thought of you, but it's gliding away,
You and you alone can help me relive this day once again,
If only you were here, my dark haired friend.
