Explain It

   The smell is all around meOf things I cannot buyShiny and attractiveMakes you wonder whyLife is like a lotteryIt already starts at birthWhen oyu’re not a chosen oneYou’ll end up in the dirtCrying is forbiddenFor those who are in needCan’t give in to sicknessFor there are mouths to feedIt feels like amputationTo lose your goal in lifeI want to run away and hideAnd never come back againThe pink and yellow ladiesAre holding their stomaches inThey can’t stand seeing meEating from a binThey think I’m a shitheadBegging for some foodWell, he surely dies on usThat present-day Robin HoodI’ve never seen the seaI’ve never climbed a mountainCan someone please explain itI’ve never found no GodI’ve never seen an angelCan someone please explain itAlready in the morning I’m defeated by the day



Bitchcraft

   You give me a lifetime so I can be saved I’d rather have some space to breathe You hand me a whistle to draw attention I’d rather have some ointment for my scars They’ll let me burn on the stake Pay for the mistakes I made But I ride a bike, and not a broom I don’t cry at the moon Still I’ll be damned They repeat the pattern again and again Raise your voice and you’re forgotten Will the world grow ripe enough To outsmart all that is rotten I don’t ridicule what’s Holy and good I don’t put frogs in my soups I want to be my own judge And if that’s not enough Then I’ll be damned Don’t want to feel as if I’m down in a burrow I’ll live my life as if there’s no tomorrow Don’t pull the leash which you tied around my neck I’ll still be the captain even if I clean the deck Give me a lecture so I can learn Give me a book to read But don’t hand me a knife to draw attention To what can’t be said with words My fellow-sinners are all around They won’t destroy your holy ground I don’t like to eat ripped-out hearts And I don’t have warts Still I’ll be damned
 
 

Cry-O-Surgery

   I’ve got two bodies and a head, and a memory I’m gonna fix them in a way that suits me All I need, a freezer and a knife And I’ll revive the living dead I once had a friend Who had a face like a rat So I gave him a new head Now he’s such a lovely lad Cryosurgery is fun And I don’t think I’m the only one Who likes to put things where they belong Cryosurgery is fun And I don’t think I’m the only one Who likes to put things in their place One day I will have changed the entire human race Still, all I see Angry faces looking down at me Because I can’t help them all I have to work so hard Creating Naomis out of old tarts And make the short ones tall Julie was so insecure She got really depressed So I gave her a new brain She now thinks she’s the best But then her brains were lit She got a bit too optimistic She thought that she could fly Made others wonder why Sometimes I feel as if I’m God Or at least his maid When I look at people I create I play to win By making Einsteins of the very dim My job is so interesting Only in the summertime I can’t be a hero Cause I can only operate At absolute zero
 
 

Hello To Nothing

   Together with you the sun was there I thought that I’d just met my best friend So much in love, I swallowed your alibis Didn’t see the Italian movies between those sweet eyes After the sun the blizzard came Often unable to pronounce my name Staring into the inane Freaking out but not on me I got the cold turkey for free Tuesday 5 a.m., back from a mind excursion And as always I got the extended version The harder you yelled, the more right you thought you were When I closed my ears, you were all in a stir After the blizzard nothing came I’m not interested in what you became No I don’t care I’m working on a new debut And try to scratch you of my shoe You’re like a read flag to a bull An engine without fuel Every word just crap to fill the gap Like a red flag to a bull It’s really nothing new Empty head without a vision I don’t consider it my vision To help you along Together with you the sun went down Not for long, because best friends don’t frown So much in love, I didn’t realize That even a green light can be a red one in disguise After nothing a new sun came A clear sky out of the gray Will you please forget my name And move out of my way

 

Invisible

   Have you ever seen blue eyes fading to black And a girl lying on the ground Wounded by the insults Scared for all the lies Trying to hold on to the last straw The freedom of life Is coming up to haunt you The freedom of life Is coming up so soon Don’t you know They’re dying like flies The freedom of life Is coming up so soon They never listened to anything you said Treated you like a fly on the wall The code, more important Than your cries, little girl No attention paid to your hurts Don’t you know on a false day Her eyes restrained from the tension you put upon her There’s no way, or so they say They’re just lies, like the color of your eyes Like a nightmare your quest will follow you Although you try to break these thick white walls What did you do, to feel so black and blue Will they ever recognize you 

 

Mrs. B

   I’ve been slaving all day long Making mock of me as if nothing’s wrong It’s a curse, I’m a castaway I’ve given all, nothing more to say So tired, still no end She placed her hand on her forehead Wondered why, what’s it for It’s a dead end Mrs. B walks towards the door You haven’t eaten anything, don’t you want some more? Does she talk to herself or me Contemporary slavery She seems shrunken And her face showed signs of her old age Breakable bones All alone without her family They are waiting for the death of Mrs. B Mrs. B keeps her son to herself At least she tries to When he married, it cause quite a stir She hit him and her too She wonders why no one calls Since they got her number and all It’ll be a relief to slowly drift away No more waiting for the lonely days Mrs. B says she’s all alone Wondering if she’s safe in her home Doesn’t care to come out because the kids Might take her purse or blow her to bits

 

The girl who had the blues

   Gone to a far-off shore Never heard about no more A skeleton at the feast Now the beauty then the beast Good, better, best Last station of a long quest No more hopes and dreams You just took French leave Did you ever hear the news About the girl who had the blues How can pain feel so low A heavy brick, it won’t go You just closed the door It never rains it only pours You would go far indeed you did You just addled my wits Been in heaven and hell A fart with a nasty smell No more anger, no more pain You left me standing in the rain And I can’t see your point of view No more self-effacing I will say That every dog has his day I no longer care what Mrs Grundy says

 

The golden girl

   Born on a Sunday, she was the golden girl Twinkling eyes, shiny curls Much too valuable, so they kept her in a cage Their own rage reflected on her Tell her no secrets, tell her lies Hide the world and close her eyes Don’t be sorry, be amused Keep her world turning Will she ever know the truth About her distorted youth Will she ever realize That her world is burning On a Sunday, she was the golden girl Twinkling eyes, shiny curls Much too troublesome, so they kept her in a cage It’s the age, it’s over soon It’s driving her insane This line between love and hate And I tried to make them see That it was them, not me Born on a Sunday, she was the golden girl Pale blue eyes, dirty curls So much weaker now, she couldn’t give no more Didn’t need to lock the door anymore

 

When summer falls asleep

   I see your face up in the air Brings back times when you were there You’ve never been away that long I recall that hidden smile I didn’t know why I cried Cause I would see you back at home So why was I alone All seasons weep When summer falls asleep On the table I put five plates Hey, why are you too late You know dinner’s served at five I see the blue lights swing And sirens that sing But I can’t sing along False notes prolong Your eyes were closed Your mind far away resting for another shiny day Humor, spontanity, you impressed me Things you composed Laughing matters in which you loved the most Now a sign calls it all closed And now I see just how much you meant to me Dear sunshine, he could be a butterfly At least you should have let him try Dear sunshine, will the good things stay If you believe in them every day

 

Where did I go

   Hey, Mr Moon, tell me where did I End up last night Can’t remember anything There’s nothing on my mind I used to need a palace to keep my memories Anywhere I pleased Now I can’t see anything And nothing clings to my ears All my life, I’ve been running All my life running from these days And I can’t tell you why No face that I recognize Has it been so long, it goes on and on Am I sick or dying Or am I doing fine Why can’t I look at the road It makes no sound at all, crumbles and it falls Did I sleep through summer and is it already fall I take a look at the mirror To the world of the past I see my favorite show And this crowd is the last



X-ray the candy

   happy birthday to us all we just broke another wall in that picture did we see what we actually should be we tell stories of long gone step by step, about everyone who we love and who we hate all we want is sympathy and apathy just for a start what language does the wind speak what country brings the rain even the water has its depressions well, it’s psychic, it’s all inside scream and shout, never hide take it slow but do it fast the sooner you’ll forget the past is it really necessary to x-ray the candy just lie down and open up I’ll try to check you up Just relax and please go on I’ll tell you what went wrong You’ve got one nose and two ears A tongue that tells about your fears I’m surprised, it’s clear to see that this is me And all I want is happiness and steadiness From now on What color does the lightning have When will the storm begin Even the weather has its depressions Time is up, till next week Then there’s more time for you to speak Take your pills, it’s good for you It leads you to another view
