merry-go-round

Once you let it in
You can�t let it out
Your body�s a temple
Be a cruel guard
To your own God
Your blood is sacred
Your blood is sacred

Ch: Round, round, round
Merry-go-round
Don�t let it in
It won�t let you out
Round, round, round
Merry-go-round
Don�t let it in
It won�t let you out

You can bet you�re free
You can claim you�re not
Addicted to this stuff
You can bet you can
Always give it up
Can you do it right now?
Can you do it right now?

Ch: Round, round, round
Merry-go-round
Don�t let it in
It won�t let you out
Round, round, round
Merry-go-round
Don�t let it in
It won�t let you out


man from pekin

There was a man from Pekin
Who sat down on the point of a pin
Yeah he sat right down on the point of pin
That poor man from Pekin

He sat down
He sat down
Yeah he sat right down on the point of pin

He couldn�t help it
He didn�t see it
And it shocked him so much
And it hurt him so deep

Then he jumped high up from pain
He jumped high up from pain
Yeah he jumped so high up from pain
And then sat down on the pin again

He sat down
He sat down
Yeah he sat right down on the point of pin

He couldn�t help it
He didn�t see it
And it shocked him so much
And it hurt him so deep

Check the chair before you sit down
Check the chair
Don�t flop right down
Hey, man, I say, take care,
Cause danger expects you everywhere

And it�ll hurt you so much
It�ll hurt you so deep
If you flop right down on the point of a pin

Like that poor man from Pekin
Who sat right down on the point of a pin
And then jumped high up from pain
And then sat down on the pin again.


jane

It�s funny how often they say to me
�Jane, have you been a good girl?�
And when they have said it they say it again
�Have you been a good girl?�

Ch: I come back from school or from playing a game
Wherever I come from it�s always the same
�Have you been a good girl?�

It�s always the end of the loveliest day
�Have you been a good girl?�
I went to the zoo and they waited to say
�Have you been a good girl?�

Ch: It�s funny of mummy, it�s funny of dad,
This asking and asking in case I was bad
�Have you been a good girl?�


horses

I�ve seen the horses sleek and steaming
I�ve seen them munching grass and dreaming
I�ve heard them singing, I�ve heard them sighing
I�ve seen them flinging, I�ve seen them flying

Fleet and fast upon their courses
Have you ever seen the horses?


paranoya

I
Shouldn�t dare
To leave my friend
Because
Because if he should die while I was gone
And I too late should reach the heart that wanted me

If I
Should disappoint the eyes
That hunted
Hunted so to see
And couldn�t bear to shut until they noticed me
They noticed me

If I
Should stab the patient faith
So sure I�d come
So sure I�d come
Till listening, listening went to sleep
Telling my tardy name

My heart would wish it broke before
Since breaking then
Since breaking then
Was useless as next morning�s sun
Where midnight frosts had lain


i'm nobody

I am Nobody
Who are you?
I am Nobody
Are you Nobody too?
Then there�s a pair of us
Don�t tell, they�d banish us
I am Nobody

How dreary to be somebody
How public like a frog
To tell your name the livelong June
To an admiring bog
Yeah, I�m Nobody
Who are you?
I am Nobody.


hysteria

She�s hiding pain
In her hands
She�s clenching fists
Breaking nails
She�s trying hard
To keep calm
To keep it in
To dam it up

Ch: Hysteria (2 times)

Feeble steps
Snow-white face
She�s lying quietly
In her bed
A trembling sigh
She�s closing her eyes
Now it�s over
She is hollow


bill

Hey, Bill
Meet my friend, Bill
Yeah, Bill
He�s my new man, Bill
Sure, Bill
I�m gonna be ok

Ch: Cause he�s so nice, isn�t he?
He�s so kind, isn�t he?
He�s so smart, isn�t he?
He�s just like you.

Hey, Bill
It�s me again, Bill
Yeah, Bill
I think he loves me, Bill
Sure, Bill
I think I�ll marry him

Ch: Cause he�s so nice, isn�t he?
He�s so kind, isn�t he?
He�s so smart, isn�t he?
He�s just like you.

Hey, Bill
Can�t help calling you
No, Bill
Can�t help missing you
No, Bill
Can�t help loving you, Bill

Ch: Cause you�re so nice.
Yes, you are.
You�re so kind.
Yes, you are.
You�re so smart.
Yes, you are.
You�re the one I love.


lying on the snow

I�m lying on the snow
I�m stiff, I cannot go
No, I�m not dead yet.
There�re people leaning over me
Pulling faces at me
But I don�t care

�Cause I�m too sober to believe
That things I�ve come to think
Can sink in drugs and wine
I don�t pretend
To understand I know where the end is

I thought I could replace
What�s gone with love and faith,
With my memories
But still I can�t forget
The helpless rage I felt
The salt of tears


positive

Framed against the mouth of eternity
I take a look at what I�ve left behind
Years ago, miles away I knew on my way
In the end we would meet
And I believed

Ch: He�s got me to believe
All his joys and his dreams
I wanna share them all
I�m sure he does know
I wanna bear my cross
If there�s aim that is worth
Struggling for, dying for
I�m sure he does know

Born to live or die
No one knows for sure
Creep or fly you will come to what
Years ago, miles away you knew on your way
In the end you would meet
And you believed

Ch: He�s got me to believe
All his joys and his dreams
I wanna share them all
I�m sure he does know
I wanna bear my cross
If there�s aim that is worth
Struggling for, dying for
I�m sure he does know


spy

You didn�t wanna fight
You didn�t wanna spy
You didn�t wanna bow
You didn�t wanna lie
You wanted simple life
You just sought for love
They say �It doesn�t work�
They say �It isn�t right�

Ch: And you bang, bang, bang your head
Against the walls and doors and then
You bump your fists against the wall
Which no one else can see

One day you ask yourself
If you�re the one to know
If you�re the one to face
This invisible wall
If you�re the one to bang
If you�re the one to bump
Against invisible walls
In these invisible fights

Ch: And you bang, bang, bang your head
Against the walls and doors and then
You bump your fists against the wall
Which no one else can see


legion

There�s a legion inside you
What am I doing here, beside you?
Why can�t I safely pass you by?
Up and down the same hill I climb.

I found your cross on the ground
Though it was of gold,
I put it down.
Must have kept in my hands too long,
For our ways have crossed
As if I wore it.

You�re my brother
You fired my house
Naked as in birth -
Let me cover you.
Nursing bleeding scars on your skin
I found the sign of our closest kinship.


take me with you

Take me with you
I promise I will never bother you
All I need is the right to follow you
Let me go with you

Ch: I don�t need your help
And I don�t need to know
Where you�re going
And if it�s worth it
I don�t need to know
Just take me

Take me with you
I don�t want you to take care of me
I will follow you
But you are free
Don�t look back at me.

Ch: I don�t need your help
And I don�t need to know
Where you�re going
And if it�s worth it
I don�t need to know
Just take me


peter pan

Go on
Till you see the light
I�ll show you
There is no danger out there
I�ll see you off
So that you don�t feel frightened
I�ll be there
Half the way only, but

Ch: Keep dreaming
How good it will be there
Keep dreaming

Go on
You�ll recognize the place from your dreams
At once you�ll feel at ease
And just like home
Like coming home after a
Short trip
You like adventures, so

Ch: Keep dreaming
How good it will be there
Keep dreaming

D�you see that light over there?
That�s where you�re going to fly
Millions of golden points
Will show you there through the night
You see that light over there?
That�s where you�re going to stay
You�re sure to like it
Cause no other place�s better than there.


so tired am i

So tired am I
So wearied of today
So unrefreshed from forgone weariness
So overburdened by foreseen distress

So lagging and so stumbling
On my way
I scarce can rouse myself to
Watch or prey

To hope or toil or aim for more or less
Always less and less
Even while I press
Forward


blues

There she goes laughing
There she weeps trying to convince herself
And all those who happened to be around her
There she goes laughing
There she weeps trying to convince herself
That she can, that she�s strong, that she�s so lucky

Ch: Don�t teach, don�t nag
And she will find her way

Don�t tell her it�s not true
Don�t tell her it�s not so
Don�t expect that she�ll stumble and fall
If she doesn�t follow you
Don�t tell her it�s not true
Don�t tell her it�s not so
Don�t talk her out of trying and risking
And getting what she wants

Ch: Don�t teach, don�t nag
And she will find her way
Hey


little god

There�s a god, little god
On the roof of my house
He�s singing and playing
And laughing out loud
He�s young and small
He�s merry and wild
Like a little bird
Like a little child

There�s a god, little god
On the roof of my house
He�s strong as God
And playful as child
And when I start crying
He frowns and a storm,
Real storm breaks out
But not for long

There�s a god, little god
On the roof of my house
He hates it when I knee
He�s grim when I bow
And when my dog
Starts licking his feet
He pleads
�Stop tickling me, please�

And when they say
�Gods�ve died out, there�s no point in praying�
There�s at least one left
He�s sitting over there
On the roof of my house


changes

Changes
Everything changes
Many things go,
Some stay
Today we love,
Tomorrow hate

Ch: Who knows if you
Will be there tomorrow?
Who knows if I
Will have waited for you?

Time flies
We grow old
Deep lines
On your forehead
Leave love and life
Today your heart beats,
Tomorrow it�s silent

Ch: Who knows if you
Will be there tomorrow?
Who knows if I
Will have waited for you?
For you.


rainy

Rainy evening
Twilight glimmering
Night is falling
Cold but cosy
Two cups of coffee
Steaming
So good at home
So warm when you�re near me
I need it so
To know that you need me

You�re asleep
I wonder what you�re dreaming of now
In your ear half silently I whisper �good night�
So good at home
So warm when you�re near me
I need it so
To know that you need me


what i remember

What I remember is not your leaving
But your not coming back
Branches of thick trees and dirty snow creaking
Burrying your track
All afternoon I�ve been watching the wind moving sheets in my bed
You know I�m still here with the wound time can�t heal
And your voice in my head

Ch: What I should live for?
What I should die for?
Answer me that.

It�s so still around me
I don�t know where you are
It keeps me awake
I�m counting to ten
And if you don�t come back
I�ll start counting again
Remember you told me
That once you�ll desert me
I said it�s ok
As soon as you feel that you no longer need me
I�ll understand

Ch: What I should live for?
What I should die for?
Answer me that.


fishbird

I�m floating like a feather
I�m flying like a leaf
I�m happier than ever
I�m trying not to breathe
I�m wading through the clouds
I�m a fish and I�m a bird
I�m not afraid of hunters
I�m so high above the earth

Ch: I�m a flying fish
I�m a splashing bird
Have you heard me singing,
Have you heard?

I�m diving off the treetops
Right into the sky
I see the sun below me
I see the lakes above
I�m gliding down the rainbow
I�m catching up with storm
I hear flamingos singing
I watch the flowers grow

Ch: I�m a flying fish
I�m a splashing bird
Have you heard me singing,
Have you heard?


suicidal star

I saw a star falling into the city mouth
So small and pale it seemed
Next to the neon lights
I
Couldn�t follow it in its flight
But I could feel how desperate
An inanimate thing can be

It put an end to something we call dead.(2 times)

i wish i had

i wish i had a big gun
i wih i knew how to use it
and my fingers obeyed
so that i could shoot you
straight through your brain
your fucking brain
your loving brain
anyway it's insane

you know you are insane
what's it like to know you are insane?

i wish i never knew you
for i can't leave you now
and i feel i can't cure
your incureable mind
your brain
your fucking brain
your loving brain
anyway it's insane


words

Choked with words
I long for tunes
To suit the thoughts
That pass by me
I reach for them
I stretch, I strive
To gain on them
To keep them 
Alive.

Gulping for breath
I'm striving to touch
They topple to dust
I don't stand a chance.

Fear the words
They lay a trap
For simple thoughts
And off your track you go
And there's no use
To swear, to wish
You were dumb
You were deaf


inside my head

Inside my head
There's a long train of thoughts
They come one after another
Such a long train of thoughts
There's an endless gallery 
Of faces and sights
There's a vague background
There are sounds and lights
Inside my head

It doesn't matter
If my eyes are open
Or closed
If it's a day or a night
If it's heat or frost
There's an amateur performance
Going on in my brain
And so far I can't tell
If it's gonna hit or fail
Inside my head


it's not about you

Wish I could comfort you now
But I need it myself
Wish I were stronger than you
But I need your help

I thought I was specially chosen
Like all of us do
I thought I was high
But I'm not
I can't reach your foot

It's not about you
It's all about me and my call
There's no general truth
It's all about me and my thoughts

Thought I had reasons to pride
Myself on my lot�
I must have been deeply depressed
To have made up this plot


if you don't like it here

If you don�t like it here
It doesn�t mean a thing
I won�t let you spit in my face
I won�t let you swear
In my presence

You don�t think, do you,
That someone cares for you?
But there�s a log in your eye
You see nothing but

Ch: I,
I don�t give a shit
I wanna love and live
I hate tragedies
If you don�t,
Go read Shakespeare, please

If you�re sick of this world
It doesn�t mean at all
That you can spit in my face
That you can swear in presence

You don�t think, do you,
That someone cares for you?
But there�s a log in your eye
You see nothing but

Ch: I,
I don�t give a shit
I wanna love and live
I hate tragedies
If you don�t,
Go read Shakespeare, please
