Any Act

I will get back at that
A nice little accident
An explosion from inside the flat
Make an end to this dead silence
In your life I will become the gentleman of destruction
Create your noise tablets
Keep you safe and warm in your bed
I could leave but I wouldn´t get back to your warm embrace by that
I could turn up the speakers and ask your friends to bring me back
You´re not going to clean up this place cause I don´t check here anyway
And now that I´ve conquered your fear
You pretty much enjoy I´m not here
You started enjoying the calm
And then I brought your friends along
And the ground sets our feet on fire
We dance it away
We just feel nothing
And your tongue aches for liquor
And nobody calls back
You just hear nothing
And the ground cracks beneath you
You just grab any act to solve everything
By time you´ll get back to that
I think you had an accident
I´m probably the one thing you feared
Your tongue aches for liquor
You just grab any act to solve everything

Sweet Detours
04:11
|

|
I´m way too earthbound
Please get me higher
I don´t know how come
Don´t ask me why
And everyday they´re stuck around me
Ghosts on a sunny day
Always politely asking them
But they don´t want to go away
Sweet, sweet detours
And I think they are forever
And I guess I was here before
Another drunken sailor who never got his ship ashore
Sweet, sweet detours
Sometimes my spirit tires
Sometimes my temper explodes
I honestly don´t know why you don´t speak up at all
Sweet, sweet detours
I close my eyes but stay awake
My god is alive
My demons are dead
I want to stay blind but I see instead
And I think they are forever
And I guess I was here before
Another drunken failure who never got his shit ashore
Sweet, sweet detours
Why am I if I am no more?
Why am I?

Poesy for a Dead Friend
05:20
|

Last night I was sleepwalking
I had visitors come over
We spend the night just drinking
Sat there talking
Just following up
Everything is good here
You seem alright
Now we´re here
And everything is silent
I woke up
You disappeared
I wonder what you felt like when your new car overturned
And I wonder what she looked like in that new dress she just earned
And I wonder what it felt like when your body caught a burn
And I wonder if we drink too much and us people never learn
And I wonder if you listen
What´s that latency?
When is my turn?
Last night I was sleepwalking
I had Marc and Kate come over
We spend the night just drinking in a Toyota overturned
I should have walked from Shropshire Arms but my umbrella didn´t work

Dancers always fall
Technical failure stand up straight after all
Will at our favor
Freedom of movement and a chance for a new thought to turn it all around
I always sleep on one side
I won’t choke in the vomit
Maybe the stars will collide tonight and we´ll implode into nothing
Room to breathe and a chance for a new thought to turn it all around
I forget the music and then I stumble upon its grave
It will always find me in new ways
It´s all the same
Known to few
A chance for a new thought to change it all around
I am fine in silence
I water down my chardonnay and I can’t hear the crowd noise
And I don´t care anyway
I can’t hear the crowd noise
And there are new depths in your voice as your body ages slowly
No one heard you come in
No one noticed you had gone thru the crunch of hardpacked snow
Silenced by the backtrack
A chance for a new thought to turn it all around

Players in a Movie
10:46

How did all these idiots get in?
Yesterday my local record store
Today it´s a fitness center
We are players in a movie
Fatigue characters
How did all these idiots get in?
Some ridiculous cultural cancer eats us
One day we will get harmed
Better sound the alarm
Better go and start me a band of all that you are made of
Our hands always shake and you remember
Our anger is deeper that yours
We´ll get you back sometime with all that you are made of
I wish you could calm me down somehow
Take me out bowling
There, issues solved
We´re just fucking each other over sometimes
Show me my bacon and I´ll write you records
Of all that you are made of
I´ll get you back this time
I´m not afraid of you no more
Your terror has left me unharmed
Is that all that you are made of?

Drugged Up Future World
04:15
|
|||
|
You will never know how blind you are
And I see colors in my drugged up future world
I don´t feel a thing
In lack of true emotions
There I go
I just drift around
Listening to my dreadful cave sound records
It is cold up here but I convince myself it´s not too bad
One day I´ll wake up bossa nova-ing to Stan Getz
Choking on your noise tablets
But there are colors in my drugged up future world
We miss these simple songs
All these beautiful songs we miss out on
From when we all lost it and we had another breakdown
The movies we are in are cheap and cozy entertainments
And this town loves it
Cause this town loves everything
But there are colors in my drugged up future world

Alongside the Beatles
02:50
|
|||
|
I swallow down all of these little helpful pills as long as I need to
I close my eyes in this crowd
I stand still
It is not that I need you
One day they´re going to hang my picture there alongside The Beatles
He seem on top of the world but he´s fucked
This random guy salutes you
His brightly colored escapism never stops
He is the rainbow that eats you
Never follow him home!!!
I am a balancing man
Still I fall right into your figure
I got my fingers on my trigger and your pulse
There are little ghosts
There you are, little ghost
One day they´re going to hang my picture there alongside The Beatles

Ace Card
02:50
|
|||
|
I used to move in pleasant disorientating directions to go with the random ideas
They always found me and I found them some kind of meaning somewhere
Somewhere inside this world
I am fucking Hiroshima choking on an ace card
I got the bomb
BOOM!!!
There I met you
The true tragedy of Apartheid in a bar spilling tears into your drink complaining and proclaiming that you got robbed
You will regret before feeling it
Before fearing it
I got it
I got the bomb
BOOM!!!
I am fucking Hiroshima choking on an ace card
I got the bomb
BOOM!!!
