The Longest Road I Know
05:04
|
|||
I recall the longest road I know
Revisiting the stories of the past
Nobody wants to walk close to that road
You can’t sign your name in a burned paper
The sun is goin’ down
You‘re standing by yourself
There are so many things to see and feel
Smoke, destroyed clocks
the smell of the burned stars
the attempt of the spider to hide its webs
Don’t cry during a night’s thunder, just change your tune.
You can watch the wind, maybe you can let a teardrop.
You want to keep that feeling alive.
Good times…

It Sure Looks Funny
03:37
|

It sure looks funny
that you walk between the shadows
in the jail of this little town
you have too much to think,
the cold and the rain don't let you down
It sure looks funny
that the moon looks like a desert
in a place without a map
you are proud of what you are
and there is no time for a nap
It sure looks funny
that the night is interesting
and full of mistakes
the wind don't blow
and you can't feel the quakes
It sure looks funny
after a night you can't remember
to come a day you ‘ll never forget
you learn how to lie and how to keep your secrets,
lightning one more cigarette

The Frenzy Lake
05:09
|
|||
When there ain' t no light at night
don't go down the Frenzy Lake
there is a path in which strange things happen
when you pass the invisible gate
Your broken ring and the rat bone
your silver dime and the rattlesnake skin
can't help you drive away from the lake's evil spirits
Unless you see the man with the flaming violin
When the moon has fallen asleep
don't go down the Frenzy Lake
the shadows won’t forgive your magic arrow
you ‘ve got nothin’ to give and take

I ‘m a Box Jellyfish, my toxins attack the heart
the forest is my home ‘cause I ‘m a King Cobra too
I ‘m nothin’ but a good man
been treated wrong by you
I ‘m a Marbled Cone Snail, beautiful looking but deadly
I cause severe pain ‘cause I ‘m a Stonefish too
I ‘m nothin’ but a good man
been treated wrong by you
I ‘m a Blue-Ringed Octopus, small but dangerous
you can't touch me ‘cause I ‘m a Poison Dart Frog too
I ‘m nothin’ but a good man
been treated wrong by you
I ‘m a Death Stalker Scorpion, my sting is painful
I produce violent death ‘cause I ‘m a Puffer Fish too
I ‘m nothin’ but a good man
been treated wrong by you

Now We Are Strangers
05:18
|
|||
Now we are strangers, we are two different melodies
you are ready to kill me in this war
When something good happens
I can't share it with you anymore
Now we are strangers, I swear it feels like this worry
is my only friend in this life's store
When I cry
you can't make my tears disappear anymore
Now we are strangers, trapped in time
the devil is smoking round my door
When something is troubling me
you can't understand me anymore

I see children dying in the street
People searching for garbage to eat
Dirty streets, frightened people everywhere
Oh my lord I want to ask you why
The world has been turned into a huge inferno
Rich bastards rob poor people blind
On every corner, in every place
Oh my lord I want to ask you why
Prisons are filled with innocent men
And the madhouses can’t afford any more people
Everywhere pain, sorrow and death
Oh my lord I want to ask you why
False promises and cheap excuses
All of this sometime will end
but nothing changes, nothing happens
Oh my lord I want to ask you why
Now the hopes are gone away forever
And the days seems like a nightmare
My only wish , all I want for me
Oh my lord take me away from all of these

When days are blue
my mind leads me to ramble in the darkest streets all night
but when I whisper my fears to my baby
she says: we gonna have a good time tonight
Sometimes I want to mix everything up with whiskey
Sometimes I feel out of this world
but when I whisper my fears to my baby
she says: I love you baby, you are not alone in life's road
Some people are satisfied ‘cause they got me down
Some people break my heart without a reason
but when I whisper my fears to my baby
she says: we are out of their season

Going back ,remembering the good old days
When the sky was shining
And the girls smiled easily
Something beautiful
a really sweet feeling
I said to myself “this is your place to live
This is the way that you have to follow.”
I remember my mom telling me
Son, look out for yourself
Now I know how right she was
The truth was everywhere I went
Even if I had troubles
I was dreaming of my home
A warm place to rest in the morning
For many years my home was the road
Sleeping under bridges
And over the ground
I was a bird on a wire
I was a lonely howlin’ wolf.

The Black Crow King
05:11
|
|||
I am the black crow king
a blind boy under the trees
in the dark wood is my den
my soul is full of sins
I am the black crow king
I 've been cursed to live for thousand years
I have seen kingdoms rising
I have seen kingdoms falling
I am the black crow king
I can see your footsteps and I know your story
I will always be waiting for you
at this crossroad, you don't have to worry

Your Mind Keeps Ramblin'
04:47
|
|||
You never learn in school
about the deep river's sorrow
but your mind keeps ramblin'
your mind keeps ramblin'
You never spent much time worrying
about things that money just can't buy
but your mind keeps ramblin'
your mind keeps ramblin'
The future looks so unclear
it is written all over your face
but your mind keeps ramblin'
your mind keeps ramblin'
