Lyrics

Damn

He folds his pants and all his shirts with some things but it still hurts, and after all he puts them back in a bag he bought across the street when he already knew. He gets the books that he once bought for writing in the things he thought, so honestly and puts them back in a bag he bought across the street when he knew that was it. And he goes like: Damn! Is this really enough? Damn! Does the pain begin right now? Haven’t I done everything to be better than most of these clowns?

He takes the lift to the ground, stepping out to get the sound, now on his own he hesitates, left, right, left, he hates to cross that street now he knows that was it. And he goes like: Damn! Is this really enough? Damn! Does the pain begin right now? Haven’t I done everything to be better than most of these clowns?

He folds his pants and all his shirts and some things cause it still hurts after all and puts them back in a bag he got across the street when he already knew. And he goes like: Damn! Is this really enough? Damn! Does the pain begin right now? Haven’t I done everything to be better than most of these clowns?

Crow

You won‘t get me cause I‘m too fast, I have my wings, so long my friend. Don‘t look for me nothing will last and sing my song until the end. Home sweet home, sweet garbage can, supper‘s ready and so am I, I felt alone when all began, I want myself prepare to fly. I‘m a crow, don‘t look for me right now. Somewhere across the whole wide world in a thousand trees, yeah yeah, I‘m a crow, don‘t look for me too long, I‘m proud of flying with the wind, you won‘t find me on my knees.

The world gets small, fades away, round and blue, but anyway. After all, what should i say, I never knew where I should stay. I‘m a crow, don‘t look for me right now. Somewhere across the whole wide world in a thousand trees, yeah yeah, I‘m a crow, don‘t look for me too long, I‘m proud of flying with the wind, you won‘t find me on my knees.

Forwards, backwards, up and down, free as a bird in golden cage, forewards, backwards, up and down, I don‘t need more than living wage. I‘m a crow, don‘t look for me right now. Somewhere across the whole wide world in a thousand trees, yeah yeah, I‘m a crow, don‘t look for me too long, I‘m proud of flying with the wind, you won‘t find me on my knees.

Sleep Now

Sleep now, the sun has gone to bed, I‘ll count to ten in english or in french. Sleep now, I‘ll cover you in love, don‘t be afraid, this night will surely end. Even if you don‘t like it one day, even if you say I shouldn‘t do this anymore, even if you think you‘re better on your own, cause you are what you are and bit by bit you will always grow, yeah, you are what you are and I‘ll be the one to let you know.

Sleep now, I won‘t switch off the light, I sing a lullaby of a sheep that lost its way. Sleep now, and fall into this night, the beast in you is not yet worth to stay. One day this will get through to you why everyone‘s protecting you, one day you‘ll just understand all the things we do demand. Even if you don‘t like it one day, even if you say I shouldn‘t do this anymore, even if you think you‘re better on your own, cause you are what you are and bit by bit you will always grow, yeah, you are what you are and I‘ll be the one to let you know. Sleep now, the sun has gone to bed, I sing a lullaby of a sheep that lost its way.

All The Holes In You

You thought that everything you waited for came along with him, that he could fill all the holes in you. And you thought that he’s the one, perfect, ready-made and free from care, that he could heal all the pain in you. But you know that’s just remaining time cause you’re a black flag on a small house and your heart is a stone, you’re denial on the playground, so you will stay alone. You’re a black flag on a small house and your heart is a stone, you’re a boxer on the playground, so you will stay alone.

You grab your shiny box, taking out your silkiest voice for him so he could hear all the love in you. But when you close your eyes everything looks simple, very clear, turning around, but standing still again, don’t you? And you know that’s just remaining time cause you’re a black flag on a small house and your heart is a stone, you’re denial on the playground, so you will stay alone. You’re a black flag on a small house and your heart is a stone, you’re a boxer on the playground, so you will stay alone.

And you know that’s just remaining time, the end is near, predictable, predisposebly tragical and after all a silly rhyme. Yeah, you know that’s just remaining time, the end is near, so practical, unavoidable, logical and after all a silly rhyme cause you’re a black flag on a small house and your heart is a stone, you’re denial on the playground, so you will stay alone. You’re a black flag on a small house and your heart is a stone, you’re a boxer on the playground, so you will stay alone.

Paris

This is torture, this is pain, this my dear is also sunshine after rain. Some things change and some may stay the same when you’re taking off the ring while you’re still wearing my name, and I’m riding backwards to Paris for a day. Have you ever seen this light shining bright back there when everything is right. But now Babe, the darkest is my heart, and when it all ends for good, it’s just a perfect day to start. And I’m riding backwards to Paris for a day.

Well the truth is not so clear even if we still believe in every word we hear. Like «I love you», I said that many times, let your rope be mine for I’ve committed silly crimes. And I’m riding backwards to Paris for a day.

Don’t wonder, don’t question, don’t doubt it, cause that’s OK, Baby that’s OK! Don’t worry, all heads up, the time was right, but the track was wrong, everything is said, everything is done. I swear to God your heart’s still young, I’m standing still but the land moves on. And I’m riding backwards to Paris for a day.

And when we both sing along, you and me, yeah in this simple song. Just sit down now and close your eyes, when you don’t look at me this is my favourite disguise. And I’m riding backwards to Paris for a day, I’m riding backwards to Paris for a day, I’m riding backwards to Paris for a day, and that’s OK, that’s OK, that’s OK Babe, that’s OK.

I Cannot Sleep

I’m the 69 cents a minute man but I am free of charge. I’m the tree outside your window and I’m about to enlarge. There are nicknames for the ones you like, there’s a heart for the ones you love, this love leads to a wish you’ll spike when push comes to shove, and this voice from above. I cannot sleep but I try so hard, I cannot sleep cause we’re not apart, I cannot sleep, hell this bed is wide but it’s maybe not wide enough. My Love, I cannot sleep.

I have counted all these walls in here, I have counted every move. You can’t wrench things being oh so clear, that’s a fact that needs no proove, let me cover you so smooth. I cannot sleep but I try so hard, I cannot sleep cause we’re not apart, I cannot sleep, hell this bed is wide but it’s maybe not wide enough. My Love, I cannot sleep.

Break of dawn, please come to me, tick-tock-tick so awfully! Let me stay until the end, there’s nothing more that I intend. I cannot sleep but I try so hard, I cannot sleep cause we’re not apart, I cannot sleep, hell this bed is wide but it’s maybe not wide enough. My Love, I cannot sleep.

Sad

We thought that this was forever, that we could conquer the world. We were close to perfection, so close, so close. We thought that we were together, that we could dance like two swirls so full of anticipation, so full, so full. But then it all went somewhere, and then it all went down. I am oh so sorry, I am oh so sad cause we lost everything that we almost had, cause I’m stuck in here while you’re over there. I am oh so sad.

Status is quite irritating back then, again and again. There is no explanation, no more for no one. But then it all went somewhere, and then it all went down. I am oh so sorry, I am oh so sad cause we lost everything that we almost had, cause I’m stuck in here while you’re over there. I am oh so sad.

I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced yet every distance is not near, so I remember every face now of every man who put me here. I see my light come shining from the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.

They say every man needs protection, they say every man must fall. Yet I swear I see my reflection some place so high above this wall. I see my light come shining from the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd is a man who swears he’s not to blame. All day long I hear him shout so loud, so loud, crying out that he was framed. I see my light come shining from the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.

Go Sleep In Blood

Suck it up, one more time, take it off now, everything, all your sins from your skin if you want to be. You will get out of here, stand up now and shake your head, hold your breath and dance instead if you want to be a big girl, bad girl, good girl, oh God, black night, black sheep, go sleep in blood.

Just do that, this is good, change yourself to something new, don’t be afraid to be on view if you want to be. Time goes by, but love will stay, doesn’t mean a single thing, don’t regret the words you sing if you want to be a big girl, bad girl, good girl, oh God, black night, black sheep, go sleep in blood.

This will hurt just a bit but won’t save you from harm, lay your head on my arm if you want to be a big girl, bad girl, good girl, oh God, black night, black sheep, go sleep in blood.

She Smiles

She is off, cause she is late, she’s gotta do the job she hates. And she goes there every day, yeah she goes there every day. She’s got to be the way they like, she’s got to hide away the spite. But she does it every day, yeah she does it for the pay. Because she’s convinced that she’ll end the past, she’s convinced that she’ll fit the cast. But in the end she smiles the grey away, in the end she shines just like a ray, and when you guess she can’t go on with this, she goes on every day.

There’s a plan that she won’t tell, and there’s a dream that she won’t sell. But she keeps it every day, and there’s no need to weigh. Because she’s convinced that she’ll end the past, she’s convinced that she’ll fit the cast. But in the end she smiles the grey away, in the end she shines just like a ray, and when you guess she can’t go on with this, she goes on every day.

Center Of Town

In the centre of town headlines scream bloody murder, and our thoughts drown as we hurry further and further. In the outskirts of night a nasal voice speaks through an antenna into a corner bar where Elvis sings «Love me tender». High above us hangs a big black cloud, and it rains down upon us, and it rains down upon us, and it rains.

In the outskirts of town people bathe in the blue light from a million TV screens on the outskirts of the night. High above us hangs a big black cloud, and it snows down upon us, and it snows down upon us, and it snows.

Two men stand on the street corner, they look towards the sky, talk about the weather. In the centre of town people dream of steel and concrete, cold and real estate, cold and real estate, cold and real estate. High above us hangs a big black cloud, and it rains down upon us, and it snows down upon us, and it falls down upon us, and it falls down upon us, and it falls.
