1 Beautiful Night

 

Imminent misery

Is this my life

The scent of failure

The craze comes to life

 

And losses are massive

Can I please shut my eyes

 

Strain of a woman

Stillness of a man

Clinging to worship

As long as I can

 

O, what a beautiful night it is

 

The tension is coming

The tension remains

Pressure is growing

Pressure and pain

 

What a beautiful night

Beautiful night it is

 

Confusion comes rolling

Gets bigger and bigger

The tension is growing high

 

What a beautiful night 

Beautiful night this is

What a beautiful night 

Beautiful night this is

 

What a beautiful night 

Beautiful night this is

​2 Man In The Golden Room

 

See the man in the golden room

See the man in the golden room by night

See the man in the golden room

Looking at the moon outside, he's alright

 

See the man in the golden room

Lying down in the dead of night, he's alright

See the man in the golden room

He's the man in the golden room by night

 

Cause he's a

Homefreaker, dayseeker by night

Cause he's a

Mute king at night

When the moon is shining bright

 

In the rainy winter season

When the rain looks like a reason

And the mark is on the moon

Somehow soon

We are shining, we are shining

 

Hear the story of the murderer

To learn from

Shining in the room

Shining in the room

 

In the golden room we shine

In the golden room

3 Lucky Mind

 

You are known as a lucky mind

So few of that kind

Winter chills are so unkind

It gets me to the bone

 

Oh, I see your wonder-why's

They are so warm in disguise

Your soul has no ties

Call it sensational

 

You're a lucky mind

You're a lucky mind

You're a lucky mind

Oh, yeah, so cold, so cold

 

You are walking on the summer stone

I’m walking there with my loneliness

The streets are lying with their loveliness

I’m waiting on the stage

You’re are the one with the cards in sight 

I call it sensational

 

You’re a lucky mind

You’re a lucky mind

You’re a lucky mind

So cold, so no no

To begin to begin 

 

You know the lines, the lines of flight

Oh, the lines, the lines

Feeling free

 

You’re a lucky mind

You’re a lucky mind

You’re a lucky mind

so cold, so cold, you're so cold

Feeling free

4 Sync Now

 

Come on in, stop waiting

Come along, just do it

Away from the fearsome

Same souls, embrace

We unite

 

Sync now

Be in line

This has to be

Don't drift any longer

 

And I don't know how

I don't know how

I don't know how

But we really

Really have to sync now

 

I'm not sure how

But we have to sync now

 

And I don't know how

I don't know how

I don't know how

But we really

Really have to sync now

 

I'm not sure how

But we have to sync now

5 Trampoline

 

Pull me out of my shoes

Up in the air

Pull me out my watch

So I'm not there

 

Out of my shoe

Just like you

We're on a trampoline

 

Moving forward in space

To my surprise

Brings us back in time

Time in disguise

 

Take me out of this circle

Cause I'm losing control

Take me out of this place

A man-wide hole

Wooh, wooh, we're on a trampoline

 

I feel the shoegazer need

To get back on my feet

We're on a trampoline

 

We're on a trampoline, yeah

On a trampoline, yeah

Trampoline, trampoline

Trampoline, let me fly

6 Wish You Well

 

You do not feel the fear

Of leaving the old place

Come to me my dear

Let me see you face

 

I envy your smile

I remember the day

It happened to me

 

Wish you well

I wish you well

Wish you well

Wish you well

 

You try to find your own home

It's hard to find a place

It makes you feel alone

And why, you can always come back here My dear

Guess you were truly mine

 

Wish you well

I wish you well

Wish you well

Wish you well

You were truly mine

7 Two Feet Under

 

There was no love and no affection

No connection

I was head over heals

You were looking for a holy grail

Something that had to fail

Taking time, it was taking time

Something that was all entwined

It was perfume and laces time

Wasting time

We were wasting time

 

I'm gonna save it all

I'm gonna save it all up for you

 

Taking time, it was taking time

Something that was all entwined

You were looking for a holy grail

Something that had to fail

 

I'm gonna save it all

I'm gonna save it all up for you

 

I can't wait

I can't wait

We are two feet under

And the silent thunder

Is outside the door

And under the floor

 

Kind of strange

It's all kind of strange

8 Moon Lying Here

 

She is so warm

She is so warm

I can hardly believe 

It is over

 

Moon lying here  

Faces gloom

An evening broom

I can hardly see

It’s like a halo

 

Moon lying here on my way

Moon lying here on my way

 

Dark lifted space

Moving, growing, returning faces

In this evening breeze

I pace her 

I would be a fool

If I fail her

 

Moon lying here on my way

Moon lying here on my way

Moon lying here on my way

Moon lying here on my way

9 Beyond All Wonders

 

Sometimes when all things
Seem to be motionless
And everything keeps its own pace 
While you wanna scream
To move and to do things
You want to bring some changes 

Sometimes when all the wonders
You’ve always wished have come true
Your memories have all fought a place in you

You know it all comes down on what you do 

Don’t let the vastness of things 
Bring you down
It’s only present one day
Don’t let the course of things 
Turn you down 
You know it will change some day 

And then in those days
When you’re making some sharp curves 
You try to pull out the plug
You and your soul
Go drifting through tunnels
Eventually into the sea 

Don’t let the vastness of things 
Bring you down 
It’s only present one day
And don’t let the course of things 
Turn you down

You know it will change some day 

And all the things that come to you 
All the things everyday 
Don’t listen to 

The things they say 

Beyond all wanders
Beyond all wonders
Beyond all wanders
Beyond all wonders
Try to pull out the plug

10 Wave After Wave

 

The party has just started

And the villains are all there

My sister is communing 

With a dark coloured hare

 

There is an understanding

Between the people who are there

The monkey of the party

Is fulfilling what is bare 

 

And my sister doesn’t understand the signs

 

Sails on the terrace hover on the wind

the music that is playing 

Is of a well smothered sound

 

And my sister doesn’t understand the signs

 

Wave after wave 

It's haunting, haunting

 

Who’s hot, who’s not, every day

Who’s hot, who’s not, every day

11 Give Me A Shiver

 

You can strip your beats

Too perverse, your needs

You can settle down

Your stick in trees

To meet 

 

You can break me hard

Make a brand new start

Refresh the dark

And see it’s all to deep

I can meet you there

 

Give me a shiver

Give me a shiver

 

Can you hear the tick 

Of the walking stick

We build our house

On swampy grounds

This way

 

Can you feel the cold

Is your story told

Will you settle down 

And make this place your own

 

Give me a shiver

Give me a shiver

It will lead me back

To my playground

 

Ooh what a dangerous plot

I know you well

I know you well

I know you well

 

All my memories

All my memories

On the waterfront, lay down

It will lead me back to my playground

Give me a shiver
