Sleep The Night Away

Crack open a bottle of wine,
Let me drink it up,
I'll let you drink up my time,
And steal all my thoughts,

Make them out to be,
What you will have them be,
Smoosh them all up together,
And turn on the blender,

I don't care about my mental state,
Just love me tender,
Cirrosis, I've got no worries,
As long as you remember,
To love me tender,

Touch me with purple soft hands,
Kiss me with velvet lips,
Wanna feel the motion of the ocean?,
Let me feel the music in your hips,

I'll remember to tie your shoes,
So you won't trip,
I'll untangle the noose around your neck and set you lose,
Upon our desertic island bed,

There's nothing that needs to be said,
Only warped images that cloud our head,
That keep us from seeing anything clearly,
The past, the future, the present they all walk away so carelessly,

But you, celophane princess,
You make me wish to be limitless and free,
To feel your sweet caress,
And to hear the music in your sighs,

I fire a bullet across the starry night,
Into the city, through dirty streets,
Piercing billborads and shattering neon lights,
Until it lays itself to rest by your side, and sleep,

Sleep the night away,
Sleep and don't forget to breath,
Sleep the night away,
I'll forget, instead, my black and burning fear to bleed

Any Day Now

I care not for peoples annotations,
And observations of the world around me,
Their prejudiced connotations,
How, who and what I should be,

Yet there's a light at the end of the tunnel,
A razor sharp blade,
That cuts the rope tying me to you,
And all your friends and fears,

I feel the light shining down on me,
With warm and yellow beams,
Setting me lose, upon the rising sun,
You'll look for me, but I'll be gone,

Wish to unburden myself of your tears,
But something pulls me towards the oceans you've cried,
Sitting underneath the summer rain,
Singing and drinking to the health of the passer by,

Chasing your tails and tired butterflies,
Is all you seem to do,
Asking questions with a shut heart into open skies,
You never get a reply, and you're still surprised,

But someday soon,
I'll pick up my guitar,
You'll sing a tune,
And we'll play the moon out,

Our ilusions die away with the rising sun,
We're naked once again, newely born,
They'll say, when they were young,
They'll look for us, but we'll be gone,

Any day now, I feel it in my soul,
The old wind blower will blow no more,
The darkest time, won't be dark at all,
You'll put on your dancing shoes,
And start banging your heels against the floor,

Any day now, any day now,

Ramblings

Tragedies happen, tragedies often come to pass, yet do they? Do tragedies really exist? Is this really such a cold, cruel and unwise thing to ask yourself? Nothing is taboo, everything can be questioned, deconstructed in order to be understood, to be comprehended, to find out how you feel about some things, because, others are better off just having been lived, but back to the topic at hand, tragedies... right and wrong, good and bad, these things don't exist, they are relative, everything that happens is good for some, bad for others and that's the way it's alwasy been, but if you choose a side, then, one of the most horrible things that can happen to a human being, happens, we suddenly go blind in one eye, we suddenly shift, turn into monsters, we first, argue, refuse to see each other's side, next thing you know, I'm standing in your living room, with a 9mm locked, cocked and ready to set lose your brains from your imprisoning head, or if we find that certain thing to disagree on, that can go on and on, without ever really ending, like religion, politics, nations, then the conflict never ends, it's always there, that makes us petty and ignorant beings, willing to do things that you can never come back from, yet, we remain, innocent, because though it is certainly our responsibility to evolve, the enviroment most of us are in, doesn't really let us, because of all the problems, all the noise, all the filth, all the blood, all the death, all the misery, all the hunger, all the pain, all the fear, all the fights, jesus christ, god, happiness, where and how to find it, death, wars, sex, love... how do you live, with all these things on your mind? You can't, strip them off you like dead skin that is no longer needed, and then what are you, if not, but a naked child standing in the middle of the world.  ARealRock'N'Rolla

My Girl On The Moon

Seeping into dark balls of energy,
My conscience goes,
Floating round the dirt,
Of the ground below,

Don't talk to me,
You'll only waste your breath,
There's nothing in here love,
There's nothing left,

It all froze and melted away,
With the last winter,
Beneath summer painted skies,
Friends, lovers and piercing splinters,

I used to live out the days,
Dreaming dreams of styrophoam,
And plasticine figurines,
Of places and faces I'd never seen,

But now things are dull,
Now things are grey,
You say I'm just getting old,
When I feel like I'm burnin out and drifting away,

Yet still I wonder what will happen,
When the fire goes out,
No feeling of control with the sky stripped,
Of all clouds,

I'll meet my silver girl,
with eyes so bright and skin so pale,
I'll jump into my hot air ballon,
And go to my baby's arms,
My girl on the moon

Let Me Give My Life A Go

You might say, it's not the time,
You might say, it's not the form,
Well, I say, it's our right,
From the moment we were born,

You might say, it's our youth,
You might say, we're foolish,
I say, give us truth,
Truth will bring us bliss,

You might, say it's the weather,
Youy might, say it's the drugs,
Well I say, can't you remember,
When you felt like us,

You might say, these are the rules,
You might say, it's been this way for so long
Well I say, the rules are the tools,
That build the cage that imprissons freedom,

You might say, it's not that bad,
You might say, it's just a phase,
Well, I say, the saddest part is that,
You can't see it's all going to waste,

You might say, we're just plain wrong,
You might say, time will proof you right,
Well, I say, it's been so long,
Since time's been on your side,

What's so wrong with wanting more,
What's so wrong with being different than you,
What's so wrong  with having something to fight for,
What's so wrong with wanting you to let me do,
What I've got to do,

You might say, in ten years you'll see,
You might say, do it later down the road,
Well, I say, have a little faith in me,
Let me give my life a go,

You might say, it's not the time,
You might say, it's not the form,
Well, I say, it's our right,
From the moment we were born,

Let me give my life a go,

You are not breathing,
You're only bleeding,
And you're mind is seeping,
Into a state of dreaming,

You always said,
What was on you're head,
But I lost the thread,
Say you're not done yet,

You're lost to me now,
Wish I could see you somehow,
You've let yourself out,
Are you just wandering about,

I cannot see you,
I cannot touch you,
I cannot hear you,
How can I dream you up again,

Hush, now, don't say this is the end,
Silence, don't speak words of goobye,
Be quiet, stay here old friend,
Don't go somewhere I can't follow tonight,

I know you're sorry,
Don't you worry,
No need to hurry,
Write your story well,

I'll be here, I will wait,
However long it may take,

My time has come,
My will has gone,
I can't go on,
My story is done,

Don't close your eyes,
Don't fade away,
Under these troubled skies,
Please, won't you stay,

Or at least stay the night,
So I can hold you tight,

It's time to leave here,
To change the scenary,
No need for fear,
Time will dry your tears,

I can't let go just yet,
I need a bit more time still,

I'll hold you close,
I'll try and dream you up again,
I'll hold you close,
This is not the end of us,

My time has come,
My will has gone,
I can't go on,
My story is done,

Hush, now, don't say this is the end,
Silence, don't speak words of goobye,
Be quiet, stay here old friend,
Don't go somewhere I can't follow tonight,
My time has come,
My will has gone,
I can't go on,
My story is done,

Don't close your eyes,
Don't fade away,
Under these troubled skies,
Please, won't you stay,

We're All Gonna Die

We carry existance,
Some call it a blessing,
Some call it a burden,
Others don't call it nothing at all,

With death always lingering,
You leave it all for tomorrow,
With life dissapearing,
And you won't let yourself show,

We're all gonna die,
That much is for sure,
You wanna live,
Open up the door,
We're all gonna die,
That much you can trust,
You wanna live,
Get on the bus,

You give it you're nothing,
But you still want it all,
You're running on fumes,
You're just gonna fall,

You settle for crums,
For handfuls of sand,
You thought them to be gold,
To be worth your soul,

We're all gonna die,
This ain't no secret,
Get a grip and get high,
Drink up, shut up and have a cigarette,
We're all gonna die,
This is our fate,
Your diamond earrings and pearls,
There ain't no use for 'em, so just pawn 'em babe,

Don't wait for the sun,
Don't wait for the moon,
Life ain't gonna come along,
And death is always ready too damn soon,

So fuck all the jesters and  clowns,
Who judge you, and frown,
The clock's ticking, the wheels are spinnin',
We're all gonna die, so you better start sinnin'

We're all gonna die,
That much is for sure,
You wanna live,
Open up the door,
We're all gonna die,
That much you can trust,
You wanna live,
Get on the bus,

We're all gonna die,
This ain't no secret,
Get a grip and get high,
Drink up, shut up and have a cigarette,
We're all gonna die,
This is our fate,
Your diamond earrings and pearls,
There ain't no use for 'em, so just pawn 'em babe,

And The Game Is Over

Seekers, finders,
Losers, winners,
Seek it, find it,
Lose it, win it over,

Hide the truth beneath the sun,
And guard it with your daddy's gun,

Always ready, rifle at your shoulder,
Stop, get back, get away, you told her,

A shot fired, one less round in the chamber,
Saw her life spiraling down,
In her eyes, you saw the burning fear of danger,
She then fell, heavily and fast, on the ground,

And now you want to be taken to the river,
To wash your bloody sins away,
Now you want to be taken to the river,
To watch the night turn to day,

Eternity goes by and still you're guilty,
Where has it gone, your innocence,
With bloddy red it has been tainted,
Run fast and away from your sinnerous presence,

Coming to the ocean, standing at the shore,
Naked, in the sun, staring at the door,
Behind which awaits, the god that you adore,
The maker of the truth you had to kill for,

The Lord is with thee, and you and me,
He's not with him too, is He?,
No, our Father stands with us,

Liars, cheaters,
Fakers, war makers,
Lie, cheat, fake and make war,
Why'd you make me shoot her for,

Her eyes, once warm, are now cold,
Her face, pale, now lies under the sun of gold,

Beware of the bad wolf my child,
Her Father said, with a smile,
Go out into the woods and find the truth,
Don't return, until you do,

Eagerly and precocious she began to run,
As she ran, the sky got more and more pale,
She knew herself to be closer to the sun,
The secret truth, would soon be unveiled,

She saw the young man with the gun, she was near,
From up high a bramble fell in front of her shoe,
When she started to run, the bramble's crack was all the two of 'em could hear,
I've got to find the truth, I've got to find the truth,

She ran, he stood,
He fired, turned her into worm food,

Seekers, finders,
Losers, winners,
Seek it, find it,
Lose it, and the game is over,

The Hard, Cold Ground

Well, now listen baby,
You can stretch me out,
Well, now listen honey,
You can wind me up,

Now, I said listen to me darling,
You can turn me on, yes you can,
I want you to listen to me babe,
I need to make you understand,

That you can do all the things,
That you and I know, you do so well,
You're a sinful saint,
Cast out from the heavens of hell,
You can get away with anything,
Even murder,
You old devil woman,
Take me on further down, down, down,
The road you took, took, took,
A while ago, just take a good, good, look,
At where you step, 'cause otherwise,
You could hit, the hard, cold ground,

Watch your step,
Don't you go trippin' on me now,
Before you lose your head,
And evaporate into the clouds,

You say you want some danger,
Now listen here, beautiful stranger,
Everything comes at a price,
Even a razor-sharp hunting knife, waving freely in your eyes,

So tread the path you're on carefully,
With your eyes peeled open,
Otherwise you could, ever so gracefully,
Slip and come a-falling down, down, down,
The rabbit hole, and hoping all the while, while, while,
You could hit the floor, floor, floor, already baby,
But it's gonna take some time, time, time,
Before you hit the hard, cold ground,

So if you wanna dance,
Be sure to check your stance,
'Cause it would shatter my soul,
If I had to see you fall,
And hit the hard, cold ground,

Burn Me Up In Smoke

We're al waiting,
In this room,
For the sacrifice,
To be payed,

We're all playing,
'Round this surphacing toomb,
With our eyes,
Open and astray,

C'mon make me feel,
The force of the thunder tonight,
C'mon help me steal away,
The summer sunrise,
Everything will fall away,
Someday, Sometime,
Beyond the smokey window,
Of your mind,

We're all singing,
Without saying nothing,
Silence reigns,
An ancient pain,

We're all dancing,
Hands free, arms unbound,
Jumping on the ground,
C'mon make a sound,
 
C'mon make me feel,
The force of the thunder tonight,
C'mon help me steal away,
The summer sunrise,
Everything will fall away,
Someday, Sometime,
Beyond the smokey window,
Of your mind,

I feel like falling,
Today and tomorrow,
I feel like crawling,
To nothing, soft and slow,

Let me feel your arms,
Wrapped 'round me some more,
Let me feel your weapons,
Ready to destroy,
You wrap me in your cloke,
You'll love me once,
Send me rising up in smoke,
Burn me up in smoke,

Falling Away

I'm stranded on the side of the road,
Nowhere to turn, ain't got no one to run to,
Ain't got nowhere to go,

I'm all alone and I call and call,
But no one's around,
And darkness begins to fall,

I run I feel like I'm going home,
But I never really get nowhere,
I always wind up in the same place, alone and scared,

Far away and falling behind,
Through the veil that blinds,
The truth that unwinds before my eyes,

I see my mother's arms,
Stretched out towards me,
Calling me lovingly,

I run so fast I can almost fly,
But I can't seem to get to her,
No matter how much I bleed no matter how hard I try,

You were once as I am today,
I knew you before and I'll know you, always,
By your heart, I'll know your face,

Far away and fallen behind,
Through the veil that blinds,
The truth that unwinds before my eyes,

I'm nobody's son,
Through no fault,
Of no one but my own,

Unbaptized, unsaved, unblessed,
Bloody, dirty, wombless,
Pure, innocent and free,

Another fallen feather from another dead dove,
Another dead man walking trying to shake loose from the cuffs,
On, by, to, from, behind, before, after, in, with, yes but not of,

Far away and fallen behind,
Through the veil that blinds,
The truth that unwinds before my eyes,

Falling away and far behind,
Falling away and far behind,
Falling away and far behind,

-Norberto Mujica.

With Life Still Shinning In My Eyes

I kissed life, and it did kiss me,
As death, too, shall kiss me,
Future, quickly, gently,
Cold, freeing, piously,

Upon the grass of green
I'll lay myself to rest,
Full of all things, felt, lived and seen,
While, of life and breath I'm stripped,

I'll think of gentle, silk hands,
That did cradle me and loved me,
That, when I'd fall, they'd pick me up and help me stand,
That would put me to sleep, that loved me,

I'll dive into the idle times of old, that I so do cherish,
Simple, ephimerous, young and warm,
It's memories I find to be antidotes to these times, tarnished and blemished,
Yet to those times I wish not, to return,

For, I would not trade the sounds of the cannons of today,
For those of the harps and charming mandolins of yore,
The moments, most exciting and gripping, in colours and shapes,
Are those of turning tides and changing currents,

I'll sing my song, I'll say my piece,
I'll dance my dance, while I can, while I must,
May I live and love, these dreams, I'll see fulfilled,
These dreams I'd dare steal, these dreams I'd dare take from the whims and chances of fate,

And when death finds me, may it do so, not satisfied,
Not fat, brown and content, yet still wanting,
For life is wasted on those who do not seek, who do not defy,
May it find me new, yet gray, young, yet old, ready, yet with life still, shinning in my eyes,

-Norberto Mujica.

Take Me

Take me down roads,
That aren't paved by evil men,
I know that's too demanding a request,
But I'll ask it of you all the same,

I'm tired of tripping like a blind man,
There are just too many forks in the road,
Thoughts aren't my own, face is teared up,
And my hands and knees are all drenched in blood,

Take me down bright, sacred lands,
Away from the darkness of the town,
So I can see clearly into the eyes of Man,
And understand that this ain't rain, but tears falling down,

Take me by the hand or don't take me at all,
These eyes you're lookin' into ain't fixed into a wall,
They're just a little hard to see thru' that's all,
Be my master, my mistress, my love, and the answer when I call,

Take me where you wish, take me when you will,
Just give me, please, enough time to drink my fill,
To pay the bill, to stand still,
To dance under the moon, to be touched by the autumm night's chill,

I'm ready for you to take me walking into the sun,
Strip me and cut me down to shreds 'til I'm once again, nobody's son,
Will you dance with me until ilusion is faded to nothing and gone?
Take me there thru' dusty roads that are yet to be conquered by anyone
Roll me like a stone down unpaved streets, that, you know, only lead home,

Take me home,
Take me home
Take me home,
Take me home,

Norberto Mujica-.

Because We Must

You and I carry our scars,
Our hopes, our dreams,
Tied 'cross our chest,
You know it and you know it best,

Dyin' day in and day out,
To make just enough,
To get you along somehow,
Always fearful of the copper's cuffs,
And tryin' to keep loose from the hangman's noose,

Oh, well, we ain't go it now,
Nobody does,
We ain't got it made yet, no way, no how,
Everything's lost,
But we're gonna take it back,
No matter the cost,
For you I'd crawl to the moon and back, and that's a fact,
We're gonna die, we all have to, but we're gonna live too,
Because we must,

Many times I've found myself,
Sitting in this car,
Floor it, let go of the wheel,
And let's dance together in the dark,

'Cause I'm tired of always living,
At the end of my ropes,
You sweat and bleed,
And you break your back to reap, only to never come to sow,

Oh, well, we may not have it now,
But no one does,
We ain't done nothing yet,
Everything is lost,
But we're gonna take it back,
No matter the cost,
For you I'd crawl to the moon and back and that's a fact,
We're gonna die, we all have to, but we're gonna dance too,
Because we must,

Je Ne Voux Regreter Rien

The night's taken over the town,
And I can hear the leak in my shower,
The water trickling down,
Them old and rusty brass pipes,

I'm sittin' up on the bed,
Smokin' away at a cigarrete,
Wishing myself away far off to the shores of the Senne,
Je ne veux regreter rien,

And though I ain't got much,
To brag about,
I've got friends and relations,
I could not do without,
A matress on the floor,
And a foolish dream,
Don't need much more,
To sail this ole canue up that stream,

The day is long,
And even longer is the night,
When you ain't got no one,
To hold you fast and tight,

To tell you in so sweet a way
Everything's gonna be alright,
To find you when you're lost,
In dark haunted forests, under the night,

I can just feel it fludding my bones,
Seeping like heroin into a vein,
The cold harsh kick of realising you're on your own,
Out in the wild with the world going insane,

The night's taken over the town,
And I can hear the leak in my shower,
The water trickling down,
Them old and rusty brass pipes,

I'm sittin' up on the bed,
Smokin' away at a cigarrete,
Wishing myself away far off to the shores of the Senne,
Je ne veux regreter rien,

I wanna sail up that river
Sink down to the bottom,
And there under the stars,
Wash away my scars,

It's not been long since last, my home I did see,
Since I kissed momma goodbye,
And see what it could offer to a scoundrel like me,
This big ole' world that's passing us by,

The night's taken over the town,
And I can hear the leak in my shower,
The water trickling down,
Them old and rusty brass pipes,

I'm sittin' up on the bed,
Smokin' away at a cigarrete,
Wishing myself away far off to the shores of the Senne,
Je ne veux regreter rien,

Heartbreak Station

Well you spend your days,
Searching for something,
That makes you feel alright,
But nothing does,
You're lost in a maze where nothing ever comes out right,
Trapped in the gloomy webs of the night,

Oh, now man, she's gone,
She ain't coming back
She put her make up on,
She packed her bags,
She took her warmth, her touch, her soul,
Her heart out on a one way stroll,

Well now friend you've just landed,
Face down and stranded,
In Heartbreak Station,
Where 'em girls cry
Over 'em fools who lie,
Here in Heartbreak Station,
The boys try to keep pain at bay,
Thinking she's gonna up and come back the next day,
It's Heartbreak Station,

Well now, Cindy got home,
Early from her momma's house,
She knew somethin' was wrong,
When thrown on the floor she spotted a blouse,
Her face turned white and her heart to ash,
She beat both of 'em up, got in her car, drove away and crashed,

Billy stood on the curb for a while,
He was torn, as he watched her go,
Why'd I do it, what the hell for, he thought,
Sat for a while and said to himself I just don't know,
Now he sits and drinks his mornin coffe all alone,
Staring holes into his quiet phone,
Waitin on a call that just ain't gonna come,

This here is the loneliest place,
Where they come by the millions with tears on their face,
It's Heartbreak Station,
This is the place you arrive at,
When your down and out, lost without a sense of direction,
It's Heartbreak Station,
Where the broken dreamers lie,
After falling from way up on the wire,
It's Heartbreak Station,

Baby, wanted to go away,
Kept saying I was never 'round,
And so yesterday,
Everything went down,
She quit talkin',
Started walking,

Maybe one day she'll come back,
But then again, she may not,
I was never there and that's a fact,
And this other fact's all I've got,
That she just ain't 'round no more,
She clicked her boot heels on the floor,
And walked out the door,


Well now friend you've just landed,
Face down and stranded,
In Heartbreak Station,
Where 'em girls cry
Over 'em fools who lie,
Here in Heartbreak Station,
The boys try to keep pain at bay,
Thinking she's gonna up and come back the next day,
It's Heartbreak Station,



This here is the loneliest place,
Where they come by the millions with tears on their face,
It's Heartbreak Station,
This is the place you arrive at,
When your down and out, lost without a sense of direction,
It's Heartbreak Station,
Where the broken dreamers lie,
After falling from way up on the wire,
It's Heartbreak Station,

The Wheels On The Bus

I open my eyes and I realise,
I'm far away from home,
No familiar sounds or smells,
No songs, no ringing bells,
The mornings are cold here,
So are the nights,
And aside from the lightbulb,
And my cigarrete nothing shines bright,

Away from my home,
Bound I was,
Chasing after a thought,
That I could stop the wheels on the bus,
But they keep on turnin',
They go round and round,
Taking me closer,
And closer down to the ground,

In the seven eleven,
Down and round the bend,
Or underground,
In the subway train,
I look into the eyes,
Of the battered and torn,
Of the weak and the strong,
Of the dusted and worn,

They walk and they do run,
They go here and there,
Without ever really,
Goin' anywhere,
Our screaming thoughts,
You can clearly hear,
If only I had a couple of bucks,
I could change my rotten luck,

Away from my home,
Bound I was,
Chasing after a thought,
That I could stop the wheels on the bus,
But they keep on turnin',
They go round and round,
Taking me closer,
And closer down to the ground,

Some days ago,
On the bus in the morn',
I looked at the face,
Of a boy, recently born,
His mother's face,
Was tired and grey,
The girl she once was and knew,
Her hopes and dreams had all faded away,

I found myself thinking,
And to myself I did say,
When she and hers,
One day drift away,
Nothing will she,
Have left behind,
No statues, no stories, no songs,
Of her, will you ever find,

Away from my home,
Bound I was,
Chasing after a thought,
That I could stop the wheels on the bus,
But they keep on turnin',
They go round and round,
Taking me closer,
And closer down to the ground,

I wanna stop 'em wheels,
Befor they ride me out,
But I know I can't,
No, no way no how,

Van Morrison - These Are The Days

I'm not a religious person, I believe that we are all just on big thing, just one with everything, the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the stars and the moon, the sun and the planets, the galaxies and constelations in outer space, but I must admit when I listen to this song, I'm a christian for five minutes.

These are the days of the endless summer
These are the days, the time is now
There is no past, there's only future
There's only here, there's only now

Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence
The fires of spring are kindling bright
Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory
Crying freedom in the night

These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one magician
Turned the water into wine

These are the days of the endless dancing and the
Long walks on the summer night
These are the days of the true romancing
When I'm holding you oh, so tight

These are the days by the sparkling river
His timely grace and our treasured find
This is the love of the one great magician
Turned the water into wine

These are the days now that we must savor
And we must enjoy as we can
These are the days that will last forever
You've got to hold them in your heart.

Van Morrison.
