(I'm a) Man
00:34
|
|||
|
things that I know
and things that I learn
things that matter somehow
and things of no concern
and when I pay attention
when I have comprehension
and when I pay attention
I know that I'm a man
rest in silence
come in peace
walk out in silence
kiss me please

Love the living dead
03:06
|
|||
|
so you don't wanna know it
you just ignore the facts
you don't mind losing your head
cos you love the living dead
you jump into the fire of love
you take all you can get
your soul belongs to the lord above
cos you love the living dead
you fly on angel wings
you know your colour is red
you came down from heaven
to love the living dead
you love `em and you leave `em
you tell `em where it's at
that's the way to live, girl
when you love the living dead
you treat `em and you eat `em
you don't feel no regret
cos they will never see
that they're the living dead
yes, you got so much love to give
you love the living dead
|
||||
3. |
You don't make me happy
02:08
|
|||
|
you don't make me happy
so why should I love you like an angel
why should I still stand amazed in admiration
should I not try to end our mutual frustration
and treat you like a total stranger
now I just want to screw up our marriage
I just want to see you in bondage
and keep you tied up in my carriage
and thus destroy our so-called friendship
|

Forest of reasons
03:39
|
|||
|
I see a forest of reasons and an ocean of rhyme
I'd like to talk to you and make you all mine
I'd like to touch your feet and I’d like to hold your hand
I'd like to kiss your lips and be your loving man
in the forest of reasons I hear a lot of objections
brought forward by our lawyers for our own protection
they say we don't belong and they object to my injections
won’t you do this for me, give me a little satisfaction
on the ocean of rhyme, time offers different options
no need to worry anymore, there's no more friction
just love and peace and happiness and things won’t get any better
just love and peace and happiness and you and me together
forest of reasons
get through the forest of reasons
got to get through the forest of reasons
got to get through the forest of reasons first
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
it's all useless
nothing will be achieved
things will never get better
to hope is to be deceived
there is no future for you
no matter how hard you try
there is no love for you
no matter how much you cry
there is no fun for you
you're all out of money
there is no pleasure for you
the girls all pass you by
there's hope in your heart
it hurts and it burns and it tears you apart
self-deceit is in your heart
it hurts and it burns and it tears you apart
|

Thanks for telling me
05:16
|
|||
|
thanks for telling me,
thanks for letting me know I'm right
I really need that kind of confirmation,
I have dark and lonely nights
my fellow men betrayed me,
left me with nothing to fight for
and when those idiots come dancing on my grave
they'll leave my soul burning with fright
I see you're a good person and
you really want to help me
you see that I'm in trouble and
in need of help of some degree
seems like my goal in life has become
becoming something that I don't want to be
I tried and tried but I failed
to remain a person who is free
anyway, thanks for telling me
I need that kind of support,
you support me
don't come crawling,
be who you want to be
I love you,
and I know you love me

Never lonely
02:29
|
|||
|
never lonely, never needing anyone
never lonely, never reaching out
never lonely, never singing the blues
never lonely, never hearing bad news
never crazy, never mad and evil
never crazy, never chasing girls
never crazy, never laughing insanely
never crazy, never a splitting headache
never sorry, never a sick bastard
never sorry, never a sense of guilt
never sorry, never a bloody disgrace
never sorry, never a broken face
never scared, never in a frenzy
never scared, never cold with panic
never scared, never nearly paralyzed
never scared, never trusting lies
|

Sick and tired
04:05
|
|||
|
misery all over the world
doesn't evoke too many good feelings
and of one thing you can be sure
all those miserable happenings will
one day be found in your front lawn
your eyes will meet the madness
cos that is the fate of man
we had been seeing it on television
for almost all our lives, I'd say
but never did it come to my mind
that you were going to be treated that way
burdened by a sense of guilt
I want to take you far away
no longer bound by an evil spell
no longer treated like a kind of trade
I've seen you sick, I've seen you tired
you had to go down every night
wasting all that you had
just to end up sick and tired
|

Freedom for the rats
01:13
|
|||
|
freedom for the rats
we better get used to the idea of living in a cage
‘more jobs’ will keep us hypnotized by the rat race
no room for hard labourers in future days
‘work to live’ has turned into an evil way
freedom for the rats
we better get used to the idea of free food
this high feeling of freedom sure is good
and I feel it's not connected to having a job
too many of us, please don't give everybody a job
there’s just too many of us, we don’t all need jobs
freedom for the rats
better give it a thought today
|

Wrong turn
06:25
|
|||
|
what can I say
this is not the turn I thought I'd make
fell into a pit of horror, I'm afraid
haunted by visions of us getting laid
energy is at an all time low
seems I've forgotten how to go with the flow
seriously taking myself too serious you know
it's not like I'm drinking piss or eating snow
living is easy, I was told so by the king
he said, dear knight, just let your freedom ring
join me in my palace, where we all dance and sing
and enjoy the way we live and pretty much do nothing
never mind the masses, this is a house of peace and love
forget the world outside, once you're living in this box
don't look outside that window now, don't let your heart grow soft
just lay your feet on the table and feast your eyes on the good stuff
just put the bottle next to the crystal glasses, my dear
oh yes, please open it, it's the medicine for my fears
no need to wait until I finished my beer
I’d like to drown in my hallucinations here
what can I say
this is not the turn I thought I'd make
fell into a pit of horror I'm afraid
lost in visions of us getting laid
haunted by vision of us getting laid

Take that, Venus
02:03
|
|||
|
Take that, Venus
it took me quite a while
to get the memory of Venus off my mind
that strange inhabitable planet
where only women can survive
been there, done that
just returned to my natural state
just got over some major disappointment
no longer could I accept the lonely state I was in
now give me those screenshots, tell what you got planned
funny games in a distant dreamscape
red skies and the eye of the beholder
multicoloured robots, a deserted beach
I don't think my mind could get much colder
and that's the way I like it, who needs all them emotions
I'm telling you, this is my natural state
don't need all you people, I'd rather see some money
can't bear to see another love turn to hate
|

Check out
01:49
|
|||
|
Check out
check out the bathroom
careful, a monster could be hiding here
the sun blesses the trees, the trees
until they disappear
mikes are planted all over the place
mikes are planted all over the place
rats seek their way through the waste
mikes are found all over the place
check out the necrologies
no friends or family announced dead
friends and family try to reach you
knock, knock, can we look inside your head
mikes are planted all over the place
we're not there, we cannot be traced
rats seek their way through the waste
mikes are found all over the place

I hate this place
03:25
|
|||
|
I hate this place
I hate this place
I want to run into the arms of a whiskey woman
drown my sorrows and forget where I live
destroy the flowers in my neighbours lawn
when I remember where I came from
I hate that face
smiling like an unfaithful friend
like the world is without evil
and misery will eventually be banned
and there'll be no more sadness in the end
I think I found myself a way to live
I can no longer hate this place
I can't hate that face
I found myself and the way to live
stab me in the back, darling (stab me in the back)
don't want to see you anymore (don’t want you anymore)
no matter how hard you work, darling (how hard you work)
to me you'll always be a whore (nothing but a whore)
kill me in my dreams, darling (kill me in my dreams)
don't want to know you anymore (don’t want you anymore)
no matter how nice you dress up (how nice you dress up)
to me you'll always be a whore (nothing but a whore)
nothing but a whore

I hide
02:59
|

|
I Hide
cut me in pieces, tear me apart
wreck my brain, crush my heart
use my love, kill my pride
find out what I hide
find me when I hide
just let your waters flow
you will see me smile
come in through the mailbox
call me on the telephone
hire a private eye
find out where I hide
throw bricks through my window
use an axe to open the door
set the walls on fire
find me when I hide
|

Profitable
01:50
|
|||
|
Profitable
there must be a way to make it profitable
have people pay for that gift of love
the days of friendship and peace are past
I gotta keep myself alive, make sure I last
can't afford thinking it was all in vain
these fifteen years of madness and pain
can't afford letting myself down
must acknowledge I've been acting like a clown
there should be some songs that I can sing
have people pay for a good night out
want to see my dick, want to see it swing
that's okay people, send your money to the king
|

17. |
First
00:43
|
|||
|
First
my foolishness rises above
weighs upon me like a curse
and it’s all because of pride
only cos I wanna be first
fooling around
spellbound
stick your head out and get hurt
or hide yourself until you burst
I don’t see any other choices
now what can I do first
|
||||
18. |
We're old
04:25
|
|||
|
We’re old
what I saw today, looking out over the same old fields
saw waters rise, saw anger cut deep and remorseless
this tiny ship, this tiny ship, swept into eternity
should have guessed, or at least have read the signs
enduring the crisis now seems to pay off
no, not everybody can have this good a job
will these days still be remembered when we are old
can these days be remembered when we are old
we're from the old-fashioned hate-generation
tried hard to love, but only created frustration
we are the old, from the past century
we tried but couldn't find the right way to be yeah
we are the old, we are the old
|

Left with nothing
02:17
|
|||
|
Left with nothing
left with nothing, you're left wanting so much
wanting what you found and wanting what you lost
you seem to have no right of way
you seem to have nothing to say
lost and lonely on a winter’s day
(such a winter’s day)
lost and lonely on a winter’s day
(such a winter’s day)
left with nothing, you're left feeling so down
feeling that you're lost and can never again be found
you need someone next to you when you wake up
you need someone to make this misery stop
lost and lonely on a winter’s day
(such a winter’s day)
lost and lonely on a winter’s day
(such a winter’s day)
every day you're left with nothing
every day you're left with nothing
every day, every day, left with nothing
left with nothing, left with nothing
lost and lonely on a winter’s day
(such a winter’s day)
lost and lonely on a winter’s day
(such a winter’s day)

The first stone
05:27
|
|||
|
The First Stone
installations point their fingers to the sky
all sides are covered by huge red walls
one cannot give much attention to the dull background
fear comes over who enters the big halls
giant machinery, inactive for years
hard to imagine this as a part of the human spheres
to realize that this will outlast many cultures
when human kind is finished, only machines are left here
computers don't die together with us
running on sun rays, their power will never be cut
science seems to have some control over fate
fate seems to have some control over science
‘choose life’ means we know we are dying
we cannot take part in the divine alliance
the present rulers would like to keep us imprisoned
will the future bring what history has shown
the prophets of doom say our planet will burn
and there can be no return cos the first stone has been thrown
|

Independence
01:44
|

|
Independence
feet firm on the floor
knockin’ on someone’s door
teeth shining in the night
around my head’s a halo of light
stripped down, skin and bone
moved away from the danger zone
aching head, aching back
tell me where the loot is stacked
alone in a state of independence
living by the ten commandments
like a slowly rolling stone
working to pay off a loan
|
||||
22. |
Her will
02:05
|
|||
|
Her will
I buried the woman I love
left her body to rot in the mud
sat down and prayed to the lord above
went to see if my name was in her will
well, it wasn't
she left me with nothing at all
empty-handed, empty-headed
left with nothing at all
now the world is cold and winds blow cruel
an evil haze is hanging over me
an evil haze is hanging in my brain
how could she leave me in poverty
|
||||
23. |
I feel better already
03:14
|
|||
|
I feel better already
this place smells of shit and my writing sucks
got no bright ideas, just songs about bad luck
my cat's too skinny and the refrigerator empty
the phone is dead, the shower is broken
but I looked in the mirror and kinda liked my face
like I have become a full member of the human race
just a man, just a human being, just another person
my eyes are bright, my teeth are white, and I,
I feel better already
why give in to misery and pain
there's a way to stop that train
had a miserable summer and a lousy autumn
but my doctor assured me nothing's wrong with my brain
mellow down, settle down, the long run
ease it down, small town, avoid the wrong turn
watch that video, eat that flesh of hers
open your eyes and tell me where it hurts
|

Sun comes
every time the sun comes
the sun comes shining through
insanity makes room for
room for peace of mind to lead you
punctual, that's what you are
you don’t know the way out
stiptual, that's not a word
you don't know the way out
who knows what you have lost
who knows what more you will lose
time locked, that's what you are
you don't know the way out
lost in time, that's what you are
you don’t know the way out
but every time the sun comes
the sun comes shining through
insanity makes room for
room for peace of mind to lead you
peace of mind to lead you

A good reason

|
A good reason
I have a good reason not to kneel in your temple
I have a good reason not to be a good boy
I have a reason not to be too gentle
you're not a lady and you treat me like a toy
you're a cruel little sadist bitch
that's the reason you had to be ditched
you're a well of agony and pain
I can't have you driving me insane

Expecting everything

Expecting everything
I'd drink more if I had more money
I'd love you more if you'd only come around
I'd drive my car if I'd only have one
I'd cry more often if I'd only feel down
you look like a real nice girl
with a real fine body and beautiful hair
looks like you know all the right moves
won't you follow me into my lair
tell me that you will
what can I expect of you
love and sex and everything
what can I expect of you
hate and pain and everything
|

Details
01:45
|

Details
always got details running
running through my mind
past, present and future
shattered in details
oh, ho, who are you
I've seen you before
my memory's alright
it's just that I see in details
oh, ho, this one's not dead
all the things Bob said
I don't know about that
I only see details
customs post in my head
see a signal, signal green
can't be too sure it's not red
only details have I seen

Criminal activities
what about my criminal activities
are they going to haunt me for the rest of my life
are they going to keep me from finding a wife
are they going to chase me, keep me on the run
are they going to fill up my brain everytime I’m having fun
what about my criminal activities
will they never leave me, never leave me be
must I just accept them as a part of me
can they one day become history to me
can I have the future of someone who is free
|

29. |
Sure, you are unique
02:05

|
Sure, you are unique
sure, you are unique but so is everybody else
and I don't like you for being different
but for being just like me in a way
maybe we have things to share
if you don't agree, don't worry, you won’t find me yeah
sure, you are unique, but that doesn't make you
a better person than I am, I know
because I felt like this for almost all my life
I was unique and I was unwanted
but now I know I was only being haunted

I miss the wine
02:05
|

|
I miss the wine
I miss the wine
haven't had a drop in two days
I miss the wind
locked myself inside in a way
I feel so happy,
I feel so sad
a man and a woman,
watching television
they need each other's company
does he comfort you, baby,
when you're thinking of me
when you really want to be a
million miles away from me
I miss the wine
that blood red wine
that ruined our minds
I miss the wine

A few good ropes
03:46

A few good ropes
a few good ropes and a ballgag
that’s all we need to make this evening go
wouldn’t you love to be my love-slave
wouldn’t you love to feel the ropes
a few good ropes and a ballgag
and we’ll have ourselves a ball
you’ll be my damsel in distress
and I’ll be that stranger, handsome and tall
a few ropes and a ballgag
something to remember me by
a memory to last a lifetime
an adventure to remember me by
to remember me by
|

Never really
02:38
|
|||
|
Never really
never really enjoying life
cannot say more at this point of time
lost again on this autumn night
heaven in a four-wheeled box
fortunately there’s always plenty of stuff
save it for later when times get rough
another lie, never seeking for truth
only trying to go down smooth
never really sure
of the purpose of all this
well, I have had that shit
some live by the rules
as given by the masters
no good trying to live forever
|

Change the world
02:08

|
Change the world
gimme that good book
gimme that good book
I wanna eat every word
written about the end of the world
I wanna know what's gonna happen
happen to that crazy girl
will I really hate her
will the red flag be unfurled
will war destroy every one of us
finally destroy every one of us
should I keep the things I've learned
should I keep them secret
leave the sea for what it is
leave the people living their wicked lives
how could I change the world
gimme that good book
gimme that good book
somebody's got to try and change the world
try and change the world

Past cold eyes
03:43
|

|
Past Cold Eyes
cold eyes watch the world go by
figures move but the view is frozen
even though the sun burns at its hottest
the snow layer won't melt away
the trees are black and without leaves
snow shines blue in the light of this day
what's the meaning of that work of art
can it's meaning be understood
winter inside a frozen mind
a desperate search for anything good
a lone quest through a frozen mind
a lone wolf looking for mind food
the cold world now dissolves
dissolves in dreams coming true
the world is bathing in a sea of light
this is the life the first humans knew
these are visions of heaven
this is heaven shining through
heaven is shining through
heaven is shining through
|

35. |
A damn about me
01:34
|
|||
|
A damn about me
now you say that we can be friends
but I think you don't give a damn about me
friends don't fuck with my head
friends don't leave me in my misery
not once did you let me in
not once did you let me win
I can't be devoted to someone I don't love
and I can't give my life to someone I don't love
and I can't love you, that's for sure
cos you don't give a damn about me
I can't afford to get friendly with you
you just don't give a damn about me
|

36. |
Promise
05:01
|

|
Promise
promise me a place to stay
and I'll drag my tired limbs along
hunting, I was hunting you
I got it mixed up, I got it all wrong
don't write my name
don’t write my name on any wall
I furnished your life while you sat down
I don't remember any dream at all
maybe someday we can be friends
and I can be a good man after all
not a saint or a divine angel
neither some demonic creation coming from the depths of hell
|

37. |
Just a dream #4
03:39
|
|||
|
Just a dream #4
another dream is sinking in the mud
into the past of a next generation
can't cry, no tears come to my eyes
and still I think you’ve done me a favour
and you know what, I'm happy now
happy things went the way they went
and though it's sad to see that you're a little down
I'm happy to know my time was well spent
on a dream
just one more dream away from the ultimate trip
one pirate's daughter tied to the mast of my ship
one more illusion to get out of the way
one last fantasy and then we’ll fly away
into the final dream

Happiness was easy
03:15
|
|||
|
Happiness Was Easy
I could try and think very hard
and remember the way that I used to feel
when the grass was green and the clouds weren't there
and happiness was easy to recognize for real
I used to laugh about it and say it's in my blood
the idea of becoming a living wreck never upset me very much
hiding for the truth until it couldn't be denied
that I had gotten to be someone I didn't like very much
hot winds blew and dusted my insides
cool drinks ran and wasted my insides
where there's smoke there must be hellfire
I must try not to waste my life
some drink to forget their desires
I must try not to waste my life
every day waking up sick and tired
I must try not to waste my life
no, I must try not to waste my life
|

39. |
Deprogrammed
10:20
|
|||
|
Deprogrammed
I've been deprogrammed
so what's it you're worrying about
feel free to keep away from me
don’t count your drinks every time you go out)
don't mind the red skies
or the demon in your eyes
every time you look in the mirror
I'm not standing behind you
don't you know my time is through
feeling calm and easy now
|

40. |
Barf
03:08
|
|||
|
Barf
and now tears come to my eyes again
as I wonder where I should have been
instead of lying here, lost, without a friend
thinking: is this really the end
a door opens, light streams into the hallway
a person walks out, I see a woman's face
her lips move, she speaks of love and friendship
I close my eyes and curse the human race
I really don't see the need to follow (you)
is this happiness or just not knowing what to do
being confused and a little afraid sometimes
disposing of the truths that cluttered up my mind
it's time to cut the ties with the real world again
and fly out into the open skies again
let the engines roar, let the games begin
see the crowds barf when I start to sing
|

41. |
Your time
02:15
|
|||
|
Your time
crawling, crawling
crawling like a snake
touch your body
feel the snake
this could this be your bedroom
or just movie shots
your bedroom
cheap movie shots
this may be a secret
to the most of us
this is old news
to some of us
pleasure in this, take pleasure in this
comfort in that, find comfort in that
snugness in this, find snugness in this
pleasure in that, take pleasure in that
when the snake
is no longer crawling
when the snake
has come to rest
you know your time
is only coming
your time
has only just begun
|

42. |
One conclusion
03:38
|
|||
|
One conclusion
the best things I get from life
are the gifts I give myself
can't rely on no demon or god
or humans to offer any help
can't rely on good fortune
or fate to lead the way
somewhere in these cloudy visions
the future is mine to take
what about friendship
that great thing that lives among friends
is it really something I can depend on
or is it true, am I my only friend
what about love
that beautiful thing between two people
is it really here to set me free
or will I remain my one and only lover
forget the things I've done
strip my existence bare
see how little I really achieved
see if I care
remember what I've done
those crazy deeds, those little crimes
will they ever go away
will they ever go and leave my mind
what is really worth fighting for
I've seen it all, don't want it anymore
I've seen barely anything, can’t find more
nothing seems worth fighting for
the one conclusion
my one and only mind
I've got to make it mine
my one and only mind
|

Something right now
02:37

Something right now
this tension, this nervous tension
I got to lose this nervous tension
gotta get me something, right now
got to get some, gotta have it now
kill me sicken me cure me somehow
gotta get me something, right now
this tension, this nervous tension
I think I want to raise my glass
gotta get me some, somewhere downtown
gonna save my own stupid ass
this tension, this nervous tension
losing all my good intentions
maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
I'm gonna lose this nervous tension

If that’s what you want
if you're sure that's what you want
I'll be happy to give it to you
I have no feelings, I lost all my emotions
on a quest for knowledge I could never have understood
what was meant for mortals, what was meant to be kept secret
I'll give you everything I know
don't be surprised to find your young life over
as you team up with the living dead
one with the stars, kept away from people
walking the earth with a price on your head
don't be surprised to find your youth fading
don't be surprised to find you want to go blind
as open your eyes to the space you’re now invading
and travel into the void that once was your mind
a permanent state of confusion
no love to comfort you
if you're sure that's what you want
I'll be happy to give it to you

Moederlijke liefde

Moederlijke liefde voor mij
ze praat met de sterren
en ze luistert naar de wind
ik kijk naar de reclame
tot het sportjournaal begint
ze komt bij me zitten
vraagt me wat ik er van vind
ja, zo is haar moederlijke liefde voor mij
ze gaat op in haar moederlijke liefde voor mij
ze kent mijn reputatie
ze kent alle rare verhalen
geruchten over drank en drugs
maar ze weet wel dat ik dat niet kan betalen
ik hoor haar zeggen
moet je nog een biertje?
ik hoor haar zeggen
ik zal hem even voor je halen
ja, zo is haar moederlijke liefde voor mij
ze zegt: dat was een leuk liedje
dat heb je maar weer mooi gezongen
ze lacht me vriendelijk toe
maar haar ogen zeggen: arme jongen
ja, zo is haar moederlijke liefde voor mij
ze zwelgt in haar moederlijke liefde voor mij
ze houdt van mij
van mij, van mij

ik koop mijn geliefde vrij
met de verharde keutels van een salamander
koop ik mijn geliefde vrij
voor een avond, een feestje, een vrijpartij
over de prijs worden wij het wel eens
met het geld dat ik verdien met optredens
koop ik mijn geliefde vrij
voor een avond, een feestje, een vrijpartij
over de prijs worden we het wel eens
over de duur maken we ons geen illusies
dan koop ik mijn geliefde vrij

Regen
regen spoelt de straten schoon
spoelt de winter uit mijn droom
wat kan ik in godsnaam voor je doen
je lijkt zo zelfstandig, kan ik iets voor je doen
je glimlach verbergt je eenzaamheid niet
je bent alleen ook al verschuil je je niet
regen spoelt de straten schoon
spoelt de winter uit je droom
denk niet dat ik niet meer weet
hoe ik wegliep toen het er toe deed

Werkschoenen
hoe kun je je werkschoenen nou kwijt zijn man
je had ze echt nog aan toen je wegging
je kunt de buren wel vragen, maar daar liggen ze niet
ja doe die puntneuzen maar weer aan dan
lekker warme regen, je zweet stroomt uit de hemel
iemand bekijkt je zonder enige interesse
losjes weggedraaid liggen ogen in hun kassen

Geborgen embryo
die obsessie inspireert je tot het maken van een cirkel
hoog in de lucht en laag bij de grond op de vloer zelfs
vermijd de haren en het stof, doe je werk, je klusjes
je leeft toch niet bij voorkeur in de dagdroom van een ander
je leest toch niet liever uit het werk van een ander
je preekt toch niet het liefst de woorden van een ander
denk om je reputatie: je gaat door voor eigenzinnig
wat er zoal niet groeit bij het maken van een cirkel
het geeft, het neemt, het houdt het in beweging
het beweegt je langzaam in de goede richting
's nachts lig je geborgen in de embryonale fase
fase 1
fase 2
fase 3
fase 4
's nachts lig je geborgen
in de embryonale fase
je maakt een cirkel
fase 1
fase 2

Are you hurting

Are you hurting
are you hurting, just like me
or have I become a (vague) memory
someone you don't like to be reminded of
someone who never gave you any kind of love
someone who hurt you whenever he could
are you still hurting
somewhere in this boring little town
someone wonders how you are
are you hurting, are you doing okay now
someone wonders how you are
can't go on this way
hurting and crying and drinking my life away
don’t know any other way
so I'm hurting and crying and drinking my life away

No simple solution
love you tender
I want to love you tenderly
there is no simple solution
I could be the end of you
somewhere in the process of healing
I could leave you wounded
leave you dying inside
love me tender
don’t leave me dying inside

Ship
nothing to want, I got
nothing to have right now
I am the captain of my ship
but I lost my mind on a power trip
now I've got to play it faster
yes, I got to turn it up louder
find myself making it harder
find myself drifting away further
no coffee, no problem
inconvenience ignored
yesterday I closed my eyes
told myself it looked so good
tomorrow I will open my ears
tell myself it sounds so good

THIRD EYE (Natural Man)
my skin was burnt and I wanted to fly
saw someone drowning with my third eye
looked down, looked up, up to the sky
looked up to the sky with my third eye
locked the door, threw away the key
the past is no longer there to see
no painful memories, no visions of darkness
just straight forward, forward ways
down with the brown, don't need it anymore
sink the pink, she's nothing but a whore
destroy everything I used to love
get the hell away from everything I love
got a hold of my third eye again
in a natural way, I'm a natural man
won't let go of my third eye again
it's nature's way, I'm a natural man

Time to leave
another promise of heaven
is turning to dust I say
all because of poor management
incompetence has its evil way
another promise of heaven
is vanishing into thin air
rats now leave the sinking ship
until there’s not one left there
I know you’re feeling comfortable
I know you’re feeling quite safe
but there are things that you don’t know
you don’t know it’s time to leave
