Down To The Wire

You are not supposed to love her
You are not supposed to know her
But each time you pass her on your way
You beg for her to dance further from you
Ooooh! Rockets are rockin'
Machine guns are rollin'
But don't you recognise the war
When you hear her sing?
So far, I told you, you're not a lover
Don't you recognise the signs?
When you cannot sleep at night
Go dance with her
Down to the wire
Then one day she comes and grabs you
Shows you dreams of peace and gold
But will you struggle or will you just follow?
Realise that it's up to you
Ooooh! Bullets are swingin'
Explosions are twistin'
But don't you recognise the war
When you hear her sing?
So far, I told you, you're not a lover
Don't you recognise the signs?
When you cannot sleep at night
Go dance with her
Down to the wire

No Time For More
02:01

I was quiet with my woman
We were lying in the garden
Enjoying the last rays of the sun
(Sunlight's no part of the mission)
They came from behind and brazen
The yard gate was clearly open
They gave me a passport and a gun
(No time for more explanations)
No time for more
No time for more
In the bus put me into the seat nearby the door
Because I don't want to see your small face anymore
Open the door
Open the door
You don't want me for this mission
I don't want to save the nation
I ain't no good for subordination
(You know that's an obligation)
Do you want to see me in action?
I'll demand a retribution
Let me pass or I will kill someone
(That's why we want you now sit down)
No time for more
No time for more
In the bus put me into the seat nearby the door
Because I don't want to see your small face anymore
Open the door
Open the door
No time for more
No time for more
Let me go somewhere I'm allowed not to do the war
My girl is alone out there with no one to care for

Big D that's the name
I couldn't dream better
I wish I had a gun to pay my old pressures
See my face feel my breath wash my boot sinner
I wish I had a brain to feel a bit bitter
Come on, come on
Lie to me
Come on, come on
Lie

The Clockwork Noise
03:51
|
|

It's been a long hard day
But the the worst is yet to come
Silly child is on his way
Through the ambush of the storm
Now he's getting tired
And he better go to bed
There's only cowards on his side
And grey clouds in his head
His watch is ticking really fast
And he can hear the clockwork noise
He tries to focus on the past
But he quickly lose his poise
It's like the sky is falling on the ground
And the trees are on fire and sink into the sea
It's like the sky is falling on the ground
And the trees are on fire and sink into the sea
Well he's hiding now
From the stars that stay above
The roaches staring and
Waiting for him to turn into a ghost
Gasping sweating on their toys
Casting shadows on the sun
Closet down and eyes shut for emptying
The magazine of their guns
It's like the sky is falling on the ground
And the trees are on fire and sink into the sea
It's like the sky is falling on the ground
And the trees are on fire and sink into the sea
And sink into the sea

Matter Of Conscience
03:45
|
|

I don't care if you persist to say that's okay
Cause that's not okay
Don't care if it's your fault or not
I'll just make you pay
And I don't care if you were caught
Dancing in the middle of the road
Now a needle is shutting your mouth
And blood is running on your coat
Do you feel guilt as I do?
Answer me!
Do you feel guilt as I do?
Now if I lie to you
What will you dare to do?
There is nothing more you can say
Your tongue has been thrown away
Now you can't shout anymore
Your body is dead and your brain's all around on the floor
Is there a god to lift the mist?
Well, I don't think so but tell me please!
Do you feel guilt as I do?
Answer me!
Do you feel guilt as I do?
Come on!
Do you feel guilt as I do?
Please tell me!
Do you feel guilt as I do?
I don't care if you persist to say that's okay
Cause that's not okay
Don't care if it's your fault or not
I'll just make you pay

Strange To Me
04:04
|
|

Everything is strange to me
It's like a Mad Max movie on a television
Everything is strange to me
Like an old one, a black and white one
Everything is strange to me
With no sound
Only an empty ground
Everything is strange to me
It's like a Mad Max movie on a television
Everything is strange to me
Like an old one, a black and white one
Everything is strange to me
With no sound
Only an empty ground
It's like a Mad Max movie on a television
Everything is strange
Since the worms have been taking the field
Invading the corpses of friends and enemies
By what miracle do so many here believe in God?
They didn't gaze at the butchery
Everything is strange to me
It's like a Mad Max movie on a television
Everything is strange to me
Like an old one, a black and white one
Everything is strange to me
With no sound
Only an empty ground
Everything is strange to me
It's like a Mad Max movie on a television
There's no pride, no honour, no righteousness at all
Just a bit of luck with despair all around
Flies are feasting free; I don't even know who's got the win
The clarion doesn't speak to me
Everything is strange to me
It's like a Mad Max movie on a television
Everything is strange to me
Like an old one, a black and white one
Everything is strange to me
With no sound
Only an empty ground

Leaving The Field
00:54
|
|
||
I left my sad garden behind
Now I'm facing my better future
I will always be alone
I'm gonna kill myself someday
I've lost all of my friends here
Maybe I will live happier
I'll always be on my own
But I want to have my word to say
Somehow I just can't leave the field
What would I do if I were me?
I can't
I can't
I can't

Warplane Goodbye
03:58
|
|

Scattered memories 'round like rain
Take me back home on a warplane
Post card photographs of golden days
Give me shelter make me safe again
Every souvenir on my body
Every scar on my ego will soon be gone
I want to forget how it was done
Playboy pictures roasting
In the pyre of the win
Flashback troubles, mayday
Pull me out of here, throw me far away
Every souvenir on my body
Every scar on my ego will soon be gone
I want to forget how it was done
So where shall we go? Back home?
But I'm at home
I can't figure out why I am all alone
Backseat driver through this water maze
Take me back home on a warplane
Every souvenir on my body
Every scar on my ego will soon be gone
I want to forget how it was done
Scattered memories 'round like rain
Take me back home on a warplane

Dance
03:49
|
|

I, I'll stay with you some time
If you let me do I need a backup for a while
I, I'll let you grow my mind
Stuck in all those stories I don't want to talk about
Give her the dance, honey
Give her the dance, honey
I, I'm done with all those nights
Staring at a room full of secrets I can't hide
And you, you'll give me all your time
Lacking in some feelings that I don't want you to have
Give her the dance, honey
Give her the dance, honey
Give her the dance, honey

For Anything Else (Sad)
03:18
|
|

Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
I hear a sad tune on the radio
Come on and show me what you've got
Somehow the rest is on video
I can't forget what we've done
I'm sorry babe but I needed to
I needed to feel safe
There is a crowd behind all of you
I can't live with an empty bed and I'm
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Resting my head on the edge of world
The screen supports my eyes
I'm a potential widow on a store
And there are others by my side
Sell me your loneliness and give me your time
I'll use it fine
But don't tell the price to anyone
Don't tell the price
It's so
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
So this all time you were not alone
And I heard the voice of the void
When I listened to you on the telephone
Tell me who did you see
Tell me what should I do
Tell me why you made me so sad
You made me so...
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad, sad
If you hear a sad tune on the radio
Come on and show me what you've got

I can't think by myself I'm a liar
I'm a spark I'm a lighter by night
A wish list on the fridge I'm a spider
I'm a grave I'm a killer of flies
Well I could be
Your pornstar
Touch you with the light of my TV screen
Could send it so far
So far you won't ever see
And I won't drop a tear
So cry out for me
Cry out for me
I think through my mind I'm a laser
I'm blind in a blizzard I'm down
Feel you feel your pain and your anger
Feel your breath on my collar
I'm grown
Well I could be
Your pornstar
Touch you with the light of my TV screen
Could send it so far
So far you won't ever see
And I won't drop a tear
So cry out for me
And cry out for me
And cry out for me
Cry
Come and have a word with my pride
I'll tell you when you must go back
You're not good enough to break my silence
(Not even close)
I'll tell you when you can come back
I could be
Your pornstar
Touch you with the light of my TV screen
Could send it so far
So far you won't ever see
And I could be
Your pornstar
Touch you with the light of a TV screen
Could send it so far
So far you'll never see
And I won't drop

Petrified

Where have you been my darling?
Where have you been last night?
How have you been, my darling?
Petrified
You were afraid my darling
You were afraid of me
You were afraid my darling
Terrified
You were caught into the trap
You fell into the gap
Lady, lady
You were caught into the trap
You fell into the gap
Petrified
So, you can leave, my lovely
I took what I came for
But will you leave, my lovely?
Are you really sure?
Why are you running, my lovely?
Why don't you want for more?
Why don't you stay, my lovely?
Well, do what you want but just don't slam the door
You were caught into the trap
You fell into the gap
Lady, lady
You were caught into the trap
You fell into the gap
Petrified
You were caught into the trap
You fell into the gap
Lady, lady
You were caught into the trap
You fell into the gap
Lady, lady
You were caught into the trap
You fell into the gap
Lady, lady
Lady, lady!

Happy Ending
03:17
|
|
||
I've been telling my tales
I've been filling my grave
With pieces of all of you
What a brave boy I was
I just should have stood tall
Now I'm facing a wall
I'm under a fall of booze
I feel depressed as hell
But I got a sick six-shooter left
With just one bullet in
Russian roulette is a happy ending
So I spin the barrel and I pull the trigger and...
Girl I'm sorry, it's true
For all I did to you
But there's no time left for that
I'm just saying goodbye
With my sick six-shooter left
With just one bullet in
Russian roulette is a happy ending
So I spin the barrel and I pull the trigger and...
I know I'm all wrong
Ever since I'm gone
I'm dead for so long
Don't try to fool me lady
I know I'm all wrong
Ever since I'm gone
I'm dead for so long
Don't try to fool me lady
I know I'm all wrong
Ever since I'm gone
I'm dead for so long
Don't try to fool me lady

Home Again
04:21
|
|

Some of you have met me
I'm the one layed on the ground
And the light is passing by
And I can't hear a sound
Sky is blue and grey
And the birds are flying high
Dropping silence everywhere
Making everyone sad
Show me the abode of life
And tell me where it stands
I'll tell you how it ends
I'll tell you how it ends
Some of you have met me
I'm buried in the sand
And the red rain on my face
Drips down to my hands
Casting bravery in their hearts
My boys are standing in the dirt
Trusting our good lord sleeping
Far up above the birds
Show me the abode of life
And tell me where it stands
I'll tell you how it ends
I'll tell you how it ends
I'll tell you how it ends
I'll tell you how it ends
(Silhouettes standing by the sun and fading through light. Over.)
