Your eyes get lost in the void
Ignoring people and life
Ain’t no flowers blue skies, kids or joys
Just slowness of time passing by
You run from work home
You hate it outside, can’t stand the crowd
You hate teenagers laughing out loud
All you want … silence
It used to be different
But ain’t no memories of those times
Covered under layers of dust
Thick enough not to be unearthed
Home is closed and dark
But you don’t see it anymore
No family, friends, nor pet
What for, they all leave at some point
Though you ain’t no dead
You wonder sometimes
If a bullet in your head
Wouldn’t be better off waiting hopeless

Master of Universe

6AM here goes your alarm clock
You feel a bit stone – but you have to get up
A bracing shower – ironed shirt – striped suit - & leather shoes
Hair gel and perfume on your hands
Laptop – ipod
A glimpse in the mirror – cutie city boy
Today you’re gonna be sharp and on the ball
You will show them all what you are
Master of Universe
That’s what you are
So you squeeze into the tube with thousands of commuters
A gorgeous potpourri of
Cheap soap – cheap make-up – moisture cream – and toothpaste
Chanel#5 – and Axe for men
But you stay calm – load your mp3 and scroll down your blackberry
You’re the highest wage around anyway
Mister Exceptional
It’s about time to run
Shareholders expect you
You don’t hold them waiting
It’s a new bright city day and loads of quids to make
Therefore you enter the glass building
For the whole bloody day
There it goes
Now it’s 9PM – you’re dry and exhausted – but you think this was worth it
Because Money, Fame and Self-Esteem
Your bonus shins the more you face your screen
Money, Fame and Self-Esteem
Fame will come when senior partner’s gone
Money, Fame and Self-Esteem
All right you end up in bed alone but anyway, you still want to work
Harder – harder – harder
You want to work harder
Master of Universe
Money, Fame and Self-Esteem
You want to get it all
Harder
It’s worth it

Nirvana (brandy edition)

Baby don’t you know that you name is like a mantra
Every time I whisper it, my mind flies higher
Baby don’t you know that our world is my mandala
Every time we’re one, love supreme gets closer
Baby don’t you know that, we share a common karma
Every time we’re split, life brings us together
Baby don’t you know that, one day we’ll reach nirvana
And nothing could be brighter

Heating Up
03:31
|

|
Sometimes it’s spinning all around
It’s in the air, there nothing you can do
A strange perfume, calling colours
It’s red and fire, it’s gold and appealing
You walk on by, don’t pay attention
But it’s a shiny day, so seem the people
As your steps go by, here comes the question
What’s going on ?
Heating up – just a question of spring
Heating up – don’t you know what am I feeling
Heating up – you seem to feel it too
But what are we gonna do ?
All nodding heads to life’s desires
A unified mass towards life’s sweet things
Now it’s bright and clear, hunger is awake
Unexpected day, at unexpected time
The wind blow’s gone and the rose bud’s out
Heating up – you can feel it in the bars
Heating up – you can smell it in the grass
Heating up – you can hear it in the beats
Heating up – you can hear it in your veins then it breezes to your brain
Heating up – it boils under your skin it runs down to your toes
Heating up – it burns you out
Eyes wide open, you want to drink it all
For a sip of your lips
A finger on our skin
A breath in your hear
A gap in your thoughts
Today life and lust are messing up
Today life and lust are melting up

‘Have you seen the queer looking fellow’
‘Disgusting’ – ‘There is no other word’
‘He has gone to the meadow’, said the worm to the sparrow
‘Let’s go !’
‘Frog skin’s belly and scales on its back’
‘It has wings, as it were a bat’
‘Long whiskers, paws with 5 claws’, said the sparrow to the cat
‘How’s that ?’
‘We have never seen around such scary creature’
‘He cannot stay among us, he’s insulting nature’
‘He shall be beheaded and be feeding the vultures’
‘We’ll be back in peace and harmony’
Like a big united company
At this time Lóng flew high in the sky
Playing hide and seek among the clouds
With a grace of a dark knight
Its shadow dancing on the grounds
Then it dived deep down in the river
Jumping falls and rapids as a carp
A sword sliding under water
Scales shining like thousands stars
Surfing in the autumn crescent light
Rolling water pearls in morning bright
It caught a cold and as it sneezed
It grilled the whole nice company
Ha ! Ha ! Ha

Get Out
02:44
|

|
You’re slowly getting on my nerves
I can’t stand hear you moaning
Day by day with the same old theme
Nothing but complaining
Your sick thoughts spread like a dingy cloud
Poisoning my peace
Leave me alone, let me breathe
And just go to your shrink
Get out
Of my place
Get out
Of my day
Get out
Of my way
Get out
Of my head
I’ve been fairly patient
And understanding too
But now I’m gonna smash
I’m gonna blast
I’m gonna shout
Get out

Wild Illusion
04:18
|
|||
|
Evening clouds are spreading
Half moon is rising
Sunshine is dimming
Mountains darkening
Silently we’re driving through the falling night
Down the hills
On the peak I swear we were shining stars
Unreachable and free
But as all embers become dust
We’re quickly surrounded by concrete
Honking cars shout a tour hears
Feeling lost, breathless
And the wild is vanishing
Grass scents are fading
Fresh wind escaping
Horizons narrowing
Morning dew drying up
All the trees are tearing backwards
The road sips us eagerly
We all pray for the ground to stop
But nothing would do
The power of the wild
The infinite landscapes
Are the fading memories I cherish
When I’m back in the city
Where the wild only exists as an illusion

Silently Grey
03:38
|

|
ho baby turn your eyes to me
They look grey and locked up as a steel door
Heavy sides of life buried deep in your soul
Leaving me outside, feeling helpless
I can see the way you stand and hold you head
That some storming thoughts are blowing in you mind
But I know you’re made of life, rock and joys
I’ll fight against these things that hurt you
But hold your look in mine
This won’t heal but for a time
I just want to stay quiet by your side
I’ll blast them away with my own hands
And hold your look in mine
A little bit longer, a little bit more
There’s nothing I can do - but I’m there
Take me in for a moment
Hanging in the air
Like birds in strong wind
Lost at sea
We’ll escape for a time
You and me

Drifting Clouds
03:30
|
|||
|
You can take any picture you want
There's nothing more beautiful than life here and now
You can shoot every movie you want
There's nothing more beautiful than a white cloud in a blue sky
You can play any music you want
There's nothing more beautiful than a bird singing after the rain

Missing You
05:53
|
|||
|
There's a fog in my head
A pale daylight
That neither fades nor rises
My flesh is cold
Lips sealed and small
I am missing you
No birds to sing
They froze in naked trees
And sun rays
Faded away
Low cotton skies
Nothing to shine
A quicker choke
I am missing you
Who's watching over me
Who is taking care of me
Whose arms can comfort me
Who is there to look at me
I am missing you
