Hasse Fröberg [The Flower Kings]

Goodnight, it seems that it won't be the last goodbye
How strange we see the hours fly, the voices slowly fade away
Still walking tall, come walk with me that royal rocky road
Dividing the evil from what's good and soon the judge will pass the score

I had the world in my hand, the peace and the power, a love divine
I had the land at my feet, but bad is bad when loose ends meet
One bad apple can spoil them all

How long will matter have the power over mind
How long before we leave the wars behind
The leaders write our history in blood
What would it take before science serve the matters of the heart
Instead of keeping half the world apart...
The other seeing profit as it's god

We had the world in our hands
The sea and the forest, the lonely land
We had the land at our feet
We had it all, but still it seems it's not enough
Enough for the most of us...enough for the most of us

Good night, it seems that it won't be the last goodbye
How strange we see the hours fly, the voices slowly fade away
Still walking tall, come walk with me that royal rocky road
Dividing the evil from what's good and soon the judge will pass the score

I had the world in my hand, the peace and the power, a love divine
I had the land at my feet, but bad is bad when loose ends meet
One bad apple can spoil them all

How long will matter have the power over mind
How long before we leave the wars behind
The leaders write our history in blood
What would it take before science serve the matters of the heart
Instead of keeping half the world apart...
The other seeing profit as it's god

We had the world in our hands
The sea and the forest, the lonely land
We had the land at our feet
We had it all, but still it seems it's not enough
Enough for the most of us...enough for the most of us

I am back at the beginning, I have a crust upon my eyes
I'm alone in this my blindness, I'm alone but there is still life
Not under a tombstone, no worms are lickin' my bones
I'm just in a state here day turn to night and it's late

I am back at the beginning, I am black down to my heart
I am tied down to this rhythm, In a trance 'til death do us part
Like one of those people that are nothing but evil
A life of regrets is saved in the flower of death

All the things that are sad are saved inside my madness
all I touch will die before the summer is gone
All the blackest days will always flood my soul
Inviting me to rest upon the leaves of autumn
Searching for some kindness, lost inside my blindness
I turn around, I turn around

I am back at the beginning, stripped down to the bone
I am blank and I am nothing, I am drained of passion and soul
I've traveled the world, All the beautyful girls
they have made me a lifelong notorious deciever, believe me!!
I'll go underground, when the sun beats down
(I'll go underground, when the sun beats down)

I am back at the beginning, in the shadows upon my strike
So the world have become silent, I can tell that this ain't no life
I'm the man without shadow, I've got a stoneful of pillows
There's no man in the mirror, just me and I hate what I see!!

All the things that are sad are saved inside my madness
all I touch will die before the summer is gone
All the blackest days will always flood my soul
Inviting me to rest upon the leaves of autumn
Searching for some kindness, lost inside my blindness
I turn around, turn around

From the underworld we arise
on string of bloodstained magnolias
Endlessly throwing the dice
but there's no way we can get out of here
In a time that see no end
I'm building
this cluster so sinister
of thoughts on love and death
in a one man strong disaster
In a dark tranquility
our hearts descend
Aching from a bittersweet that'll never end
A face with hollow eyes, A face with no more smiles
The cold face of perdition, A voice silent cries
The blind man the rooster, the ultimate loser

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Now time has come for sleep
May God forgive me if I dwell
Once more in glorious dreams
For 50 years I've lived in exile
But they'd like to see me swing

I've moved around to escape the lies
And I've turned away from those hateful clowns
Jealous and greedy, star of David
We made them kneel
But still their God couldn't save'em
Goodbye, finito, the final solution is real

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Now time has one more dream
I dream of old Bavarian skies
And mountain views beneath
I loved my country just like you
But times turned out so strange, so strange

Someone may claim I was evil
Now even notorious, now that's a lie
There is no smoke without fire
The Jews they are liars, of course, now we have proved
Such an excellent scapegoat, now let's move them

And Germany was going bad, all wrong
So we asked our god for a strong man
To give back the glory land
That was the dawn, the beginning of impact
We are felt so strong, how could we all be wrong
For once God's glory shone over Germany
No more defeat, no more retreat
So unified, we were all so proud
We were "uber alles"
What a glorious feeling of power

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen...

Face to face with the iconized
Picked me up when I was falling
Once the dream revealed this face
Turned around, now he's calling

Two worlds, two lives in his dream
Down the river of love together
Two birds fly into the sun
To unit in this dream forever

He said, "Son of mine, whom I idolize
very first smile touched my heart
I'll set by your side in the darkest of nights
when this nightmare hold a grip on your heart"

Two worlds, two lives in his dream
Down the river of time together
Two birds fly into the sun
To unit in this dream forever


Big wheels of evolution, round & round, around we go
out of chaos and confusion, make our way into the flow
One step and one more closer, man move in every way
High hopes, a new direction, a new level everyday

Don't know where we're coming from,
Don't know where we're going to
Another trick of evolution, into the cosmic revolution

Every night when I'm watching the sky,
Look for big ships passing by
I'm out on my own, you may say that I'm alone
And wish that someone would take me home, take me home

Man build big machines, sail across the skies
Rope ladder to the moon, the night have a thousand eyes
Now children hurry home, to the million dollar dream
Still life in TV land U-tutor in extreme

Don't know where we're coming from
And don't know where we're going to
Another trick of evolution, into the cosmic revolution

Every night when I'm watching the sky,
Look for big ships passing by
I'm out on my own, you may say that I'm alone
And wish that someone would take me home
Every night you look down from a star
Here I'm stranded with my blue guitar,
Don't know if it's real but I know what I feel
And I feel it's time for spinning the wheel, spin the wheel

But what can I do or what can I say
To stop the world from turning
I can always wish you'll believe me when I say
we get closer the more we're learning
the more we are learning...
We were born in the sparkling ignition of lust
once in the timeless soul found a home
This puzzle grand is not of this earth
You know well, you can't make it alone
you can't make it alone...

Two worlds, two lives in his dream
Down the river of souls together
Two birds fly into the sun
To unit in this dream forever

Two worlds, two lives, two stories...

Days of black & white are here again
leave it's mark in every way
Sisters of the night will take you in,
tell you lies of what she's seen
Who can see the truth is half her name
All that's in between, but never heard,
nor freely spoken

Day's of black & white is all you get
no second view is there for you
Details may be lost but still not gone
These plastic tales are still untrue
Telling tales of hate for old times sake
equal to the love your neighbour takes
and bury slowly

Days of future passed so rapidly
After all these lies
do you really doubt
it's black and white

Got a perfect view
From here in the voyage window room
Blue planet, sleeping beauty
The place that we call home
From here you can detect no borders
To me it looks the same
One world, one until under the sun

Let's leave it, don't get closer
I fear what we might find
Up from here it looks so peaceful
From the innocent blue sky

There's a view of constant beauty
That time and man can't change
Just mind to keep the distance now
And your impressions will remain
You want to keep the dream forever
You never wanna leave
I wish that everyone could see
And feel the way I feel

The more you look, the more you try
The more you free the inner eye
There's a mountain we could climb

Got a perfect view from here
From a window in the sky
You ain't going nowhere now
You want but cannot fly
Sometimes it feels like god has left us
But you never can be sure
You're stuck with us and your dreams
Inside revolving (hotel) doors

If I was a tree, if I was another flower, if I was the sea,
If I was another river, if I was the sun, if I was the moonlit mountain

If I was a bird, if I was the dinosaur, if I was the whale,
If I was another dolphin, If I wasn't me,
what would there be left of loving?
Strange was the day of dawn & I would have seen it all,
All times would have passed me by
and I heard the blackbirds singing...
songs from the deep of dawn, Mothers of Earth and Sea
what would I possibly be... without love

Now, were not that far away, soon enough we ride them starships
See how we work the play, time will tell... to touch the stargates
Eagerly we send our dreams, into the big black void
Flesh and bone, now lift us up, from the dusty dreams,
A billion hearts, a song within
Running home, running high, send your heart, touch the sky
Hurry home, hurry by, to your home in the sky...

Free from the bad old ways, soon set for the Silver Mountains
See how the children play, closer to what's coming soon
Eagerly they drop their dreams into the big black void
Flesh and bone hold them back, like the rusty chains,
Coming strong... but loosing late

Running home, running high, send your heart, to the sky
Hurry home, hurry by, to your home, in the sky...

Calling home, calling love, send your dreams, back to me
Running home, running high, knowing love, cover me
We put no trust in the goverment
All got it wrong, no one heaven sent
Papermen pin down the elements
Try to control the environment

Running high, running free
Another you, another me
Out of sleep, out of touch
All too much, all too much

Look at the world from a different pace
You run the show from a dirrerent space
Numbers and words, not saving grace
Gently the years in your Fathers face

Running high, running free
Another you, another me
Out of sleep, out of touch
All too much, all too much

Running home, running high send your heart to the sky
Hurry home, hurry by, to your home in the sky...

Calling home, calling love, send your dreams back to me
Running home, running high, knowing love will cover me...

I could use a day on my own, make it one, make it two, make it three, by the sea
I would get away from it all, drift into the silent summer
I could use a guide in my life, make it one, make it two, make it three, make it four
We can climb out 'far on a limb' with the eyes of a beginner

I'd rather be where the chicken farmers run
Chasing in the sun, knowing all the secret summer
I'd rather be where the waters turn to wine
On the riverside, take me down the endless summer

I could use a new state of mind, make it one, make it two, make it three, by the sea
Dreamin' like a kite on the shore, walk the hills of evermore

I'd rather be where the lazy dreamers run
Smilin' in the sun, gracing the eternal summer
I'd rather be where the easy farmers go
Running with the flow, dancing like the careless bummer

How we need it ALL, how we need a GOAL

I could use a heart of the brave, make it one, make it two, make it three, make it four
Then I'll walk right out of the cave, walk out of the darkest age...

I'd rather be in the lazy countryside
Smilin' in the sun, gracing the eternal summer
I'd rather be where the easy farmers go
Running with the flow, dancing like the careless bummer

Don't believe in matter, so please don't fence me in
Don't believe in freedom, you've seen the shape I'm in,
Never mind the limits, the values come astray
Trust upon the only thing, that matters today....

It's true, the church of your heart
Will ring out the wonder of the moment
Spirit of the ages
All, of your colorful dreams
We saw them materialize, and, one by one
We trust the pages

We do believe in wonder, we do believe it's right
Stars will be our blankets, the moon supply the light
Gracefully I watch them coming down like waterfalls
All ancient souls, universal wisdom, come true! Open doors....

Believe, in the church of your heart
And every step you'll take is magic
You'll stand up to the heat
True, be true to your heart
And thru the looking glass of wonder
The universe, now at your feet....

Belief, will go all the way, build us a home, a heart out of clay
True, the sharp interplay, and no man shall dare, to stand in our way
It's true, the church of your heart....

Time may catch me in the middle of my great grand mission
Time may not be right, but still I hammer on, nail my higher vision
No moment in stagnation,
Still ain't no science fiction, slave to my one conviction
Watch for this elevation, flowers and celebration
Work my way to your heart, is it really true, tell me....
Tell me that it's.......true, the church of your heart

Don't believe in matter, so please don't fence me in
Don't believe in freedom, you've seen the shape I'm in,
Never mind the limits, the values come astray
Trust upon the only thing, that matters today....

Will ring out the wonder of the moment

Home from work our Juliet
Clears her morning meal.
She dabs her skin with pretty smells
Concealing to appeal.
I will make my bed,
She said, but turned to go.
Can she be late for her cinema show?

Romeo locks his basement flat,
And scurries up the stair.
With head held high and floral tie,
A weekend millionaire.
I will make my bed
With her tonight, he cries.
Can he fail armed with his chocolate surprise?

Take a little trip back with father Tiresias,
Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through.
I have crossed between the poles, for me there's no mystery.
Once a man, like the sea I raged,
Once a woman, like the earth I gave.
But there is in fact more earth than sea.

The sun is up, the early morning flavours
once more set up the trades and all the tables
we speak of progress, soon we speak of wars
we say hello/goodbye, we close the doors
The sun is gone for just about an hour
in comes the cheaters and notorious liars
like serpents crawling, close the ivory towers
This called "the coming of the business hour"

The native world they gather around the fire
to feed their swirling dragons of desire
"The ones that have shall get" and that's a fact
take one step forward then move two steps back
We all provide the monsters of excess
to fill the holes in souls will leave no rest
"A man is nothing more than his success"
this selfconsuming race will be your test

A million lights them keep the city bright
the words are right but not the melody
There's no one begging here on Eco street
But souls are starving to pedestrian beats

So many living here from day to day
They dream of "something else" but still they stay
This monster of a city takes it's toll
will no one ever hear or heed your call

(I'm) Looking for love in the City of Angels
Looking for love

So many different dreams and different tales
A twist of fate, it's a turn of fortune wheels
The educated rise and make their calls
Before the blanket of oblivion fall

They took your land, they took your history
in grand old gestures saying you are free
they took your youth, they took the labour years
and last of all they took your dignity

(I'm) Looking for love in the City of Angels
Looking for love

The native world they gather around the fire
to feed their swirling demons of desire
"The ones that have shall get" and that's a fact
take one step forward moving two steps back
We all must feed the monsters of excess
to fill the holes in souls will leave no rest

For the week, wounded hearts
For the nameless, fallen stars
For the ones who built this land
For the ones with a gun in hand

Compassion, for the fearless, harmless, stunts
Compassion, for the lost and lonely ones
Compassion, for the homeless, refugees
Compassion, for the scattered families....

World of yours too small, history recall,
Better not forget, now look in both directions
Warrior, king or slave, freedom is your trade
CyberCain still screaming for connection.....

Compassion, for the ones who lost their faith
Compassion, gave it up & give in to hate
Compassion, where hell is their self made heaven
Compassion, can't forgive seventy, nor 7

Compassion, is it us against the others?
Compassion, for the sister & her twisted brother
Compassion, with your face against the wall
Compassion, for the human after all

For the week, wounded hearts

Now, I'm not sure if you wanna know
what's going on behind that door
A stream of lies, a constant flow,
a twist of power, a twsit of law
You'll do me a favour, some rules to bend,
the curtains are down, you know where it'll end
Now partners in crime, in lies alone,
Looking so sweet but we're bad to the bone

Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men
Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again

Now far from honest, far from grace,
I've done my time in a secret place
We take what's for granted, we take what's fair,
The World for lunch, then down the stairs
Keep our secrets & fingers crossed,
a slip of the tounge, we're down we're lost
We dream of days where money talks,
The curtains are down, the failure walks

Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men
Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again

We walk the line in clean white shirts
We pray "The News" stop diggin' the dirt
We lie once more, until the truth dissolve,
We pray for silence, our hearts revolve,
We're now mechanics of make believe,
The merchandise so cold and clean
We lack compassion, we lack in faith,
We bend the rules as laong as it pays...

Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men
Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again

From the ragged fence
to the cosmic bends
we have paved our way with eagerness
and forced the world to make some sense

In this endless space,
looking for Gods given grace
Among countless scattered dying stars
by the fireplaces we found some comfort

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

From the garden greens
to the mountain streams
We all worked the land and payed in sweat
while sweet illusions were passing by

Like fading tribe
on the ocean wide
In a random flash we live and die
Searching all religions, reasom why

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

From the habbit hole, to the frozen poles
we have filled our hearts with poetry
while science was our leading star

On to million suns
where our fading memories dance
While we try so hard to understand
the untold genesis of man

Waiting all to serve a greater purpose
or to join the cosmic circus now

I saw them coming from the mountains.
I saw them coming from the sea.
I heard them speak in coded language
But I could not find a key.

I heard them whisper: "any colours".
I heard them sing in every tree.
I saw them dancing in the mainstream,
Say they got something for me.

Different people
Different ways of living
Different colours
Different ways of giving

I saw them dancing in the mainstream
I saw them kissing butterfly's
Handing out flowers in the morning
All before my very eyes

I heard them talk about the future
I saw them turning to the skies
I watched them dance around the teapot
Like a major lullaby

I saw them coming from the mountains
I saw them coming from the sea
I heard them talk in coded language
But I could not find a key

Dream on dreamer, starchild
Open your mind carefully
Dream on dreamer, ride home
Dreamshades changing endlessly

Enter worlds no one has seen
All at your command in your dreams

Sinking deeper, letting go
Let the story take you in
Dream on dreamer, fly home
Let the dream of dreams begin

Enter worlds no one has seen
All at your command in your dreams

An observation from the greenhouse
A nifty cluster of insanity
Not that solid where the ice is thinner
Even for dog with a pedigree

You've seen them juggling with emotional devices
So confident and so relaxed
The league of hasty grown up poets
Bumping the world upon its axis

And so it's time to take a stand
You've seen your life come shaped by foreign hands
And so it's time to make a move
Letting the world know that you greatly disapprove

You better stop that roadside drinking
Try find the key to the lock
Call a halt to the nightmare shrinking
See what's in that Christmas stocking

Of money, power, fame and passion
The "holy" foursome will spin the ball
The ghost of greed above the mansion
For leagues of copycats a standard call

And so it's time to take a stand
You've seen your life come shaped by foreign hands
And so it's time to make a move
Letting the world know that you greatly disapprove

Stranded like starfish on the shore, when the moon eclipses the sun
So the countdown do begin. No leg, no feet, no run
And when the water finally hits us, then it's either sink or swim
Examining the clockworks of the Gods, inside your shiny skin
Stranded like ET's on the floor when the ships have left the pond
We are all left to float about, for countless years to come
No it is either do or die, the last and lonely tribe
Finding a way to leave the pond, to say a last goodbye

Scanning the same old pages
Look for a sign of greatness
Learning in the script of life
To know your self is self contagious

Hope for a glorious Sunday
Push back the crappy Monday
Eight days to cross the poles
And reach the soil of old Britannia

Angel, your mind is far from home, in a mayhem of it's own
These are the lost breaks of Babylon, the bad of Adam's bone
Seeking the pleasure of his ground, as human flesh and bone
Tell me has love gone slightly wrong or vastly overblown?

Chasing the monster of success and it's catalyzing sparks
Flexing the qualities you dispose for entering the game
Now it's either do or die, to keep you entertained
Keeping the audience on their toes, beyond the last refrain

Scanning the same old pages
Look for a sign of greatness
Learning in the script of life
To know your self is self contagious

Hope for a glorious Sunday
Push back the crappy Monday
Eight days to cross the poles
And reach the soil of old Britannia

On to the riverbeds of time
We're scattered driftwood in a sad and lonely line
A sum of incidents called "Life"
A place where "V.I.P." will grant no further rights

As we are swaying in the wind
The image left will go no deeper that your skin
But all our doings and our deeds
Propel the universe into love overbleed

Just as the river made a hole inside the mountain
You throw your soil into the soul of the great nothing
It's not so easy to describe, it looks as though you're binding time
But you must be waiting for the moments to arise

And so you find yourself in the driver's seat
Down the fishing line, the obstacles of time
And so you find yourself with a million options chiming
Time is such a bitch and fate it's little sister

Those universal minds, the archetypes of life
To the great minds of our time our admiration flies
All the poets and the queens, all the starlets of our dreams
To those who came before and those who opened up the doors

And so you find yourself in the driver's seat
Down the fishing line, the obstacles of time
And so you find yourself with a million options chiming
Time is such a bitch and fate it's little liar

Here she comes again, smiling like a horse
God he was asleep on that day she was born
Riding her bike with the sun in her eyes
finding her way in a world that still smiles

Here she comes again, dancin like clown
God he went astray on the day she arrived
she's stumbling ashore, like a pig in a pond
Ready to fly, ready to die

The world is a cruel affair
if you don't dance to a common beat
People are cruel Elaine, if you don't fit the bill
The world is so cold out there
if you dance to a different beat
people are scared, believe me Elaine

Here she comes again, dressing like a clown
God she's different, puts a smile on your face

Here she comes again, smiling like a horse
God he was asleep on that day she was born
Riding her bike with the sun in her eyes
finding her way in a world that still smiles

The world is a cruel affair
if you don't dance to a common beat
People are cruel Elaine, if you don't fit the bill
The world is so cold out there
if you dance to a different beat
but, people are scared, believe me Elaine

They say it's the inside that matters
now that's a lie, what a lie

Fly by strange little bird fly by...fly home

Here she comes again, smiling like a horse
God he was asleep on that day she was born
Riding her bike with the sun in her eyes
finding her way in a world that still smiles

Here she comes again, dancin like clown
God he went astray on the day she arrived
she's stumbling ashore, like a pig in a pond
Ready to fly, ready to die

The world is a cruel affair

People are cruel Elaine, if you don't fit the bill
The world is so cold out there

They say it's the inside that matters
now that's a lie, what a lie

Fly by strange little bird fly by...fly home

The world is open
The world is alive
It's technicolor and the sun is slowly rising
The morning sun
Can almost set the hills on fire
All along the coastline
You can hear the seagulls cries

Is it me that paints a picture
Is it me that directs the day?
Am I one amongst the millions
That will see the world this way?
Is it part of the illusion
All the overwhelming scenes?
Is it love that found it's way in here
To lift my beating heart away?

Oh, oh...

I can see the beauty
In a thousand different faces
I can hear the small talk
In the far and distant market places
Everybody is special
It's the highlight of their story
New life is in the meeting
Of the glowing morning glory

Oh, oh...

The world is even, yes the world is alright
We all just float about like sleepy satelites
Watching the cycles, see the seasons change
From thunderous rivers to the sunny lanes

The world is grooving to a brand new beat
The ground is swaying below our feet
All we ask for is a bit of happiness
And a smile upon our children's faces

Try to see a new way! You say;
"Life can be a shortcut"
and you will always speed for...
More is less in daylight! You fight;
living in the fast lane
and you are never gonna see

The sunlight
Shines from a higher ground
Feel the lovelight
Taking place in the haze, of the sunshine

Tend to insight
Seize upon "here and now"
Trust what's given
Everyday make your way, in the sunshine

Try to see it my way! You say;
"Life can be a jackpot
and I will always speed for..."
More is less in daylight! Insight;
livin in the fast lane
and you will never gonna see

Believers
smile when you aim for love
Be receiver
You can win, let it in, feel the sunshine

Free the spirit
Your mind will start glowing
Go from wasteland believers will shine
Freedom beggars can
turn into angels
Rise from mazeland stay true to your heart

He's shaking like a Cuban shaker
just dying now to meet "his maker"
don't give it up ? don't give it up
don't lay down 'til you reach the top

"where's my connection, where's my protection
where in the world is there a doorway out?
look to the left, look to the right
I'm looking for a genie in a bottle!!"

Hush little baby don't you cry
your maker is gonna take you higher
"we'll shut it off, we'll close it down
we'll make you fly so high above the ground"

In a perfect world
there'll be another you and I
In a perfect world
we'd spread our wings and fly
In a perfect dream
you'll be the one to trust
Like a perfect horse
I'll rise up from the dust

He's shaking like a Cuban shaker
just dying now to meet his maker
"don't give it up ? don't give it up
don't lay down 'til you reach the top"

"where's my connection,where's my protection
where in the world is there a doorway out
look to the left, look to the right
I'm looking for a genie in a bottle!!"

Morning found them asleep in the park
lost in the mindfields of the darkest
water, chrystaline cover the skin
the stoner the loner the child within

Bent and broken against the wall
now they can't tell when the snow will fall
It's Christmas time in the Underworld
but still no room for all the unheard

Fuel injected now standing tall
Ten white horses at the door
take us down for another ride
put me asleep on the other side

Frozen images driftin away
winter heart set his dreams to play
Maybe the river will carry you home
home to the place where you're no more alone

"All I need is another dream
All I need is some self esteem
Can you take me, can you take me this time?"

He's shaking like a Cuban shaker
just dying now to meet his maker
don't give it up ? don't give it up
don't lay down 'til you reach the top

"where's my connection, where's my protection
where in the world is there a doorway out
look to the left, look to the right
I'm looking for a genie in a bottle!!"

Images of twilight becomes real
Help me spell it out now what we feel
Fear the silence, calling out the wild
That's the order in the kingdom of the child

There are ways you'll come out laughing for a while
There are moments when you break down like a child
There are times when you just want to scream out loud
Dancing with the ghost of the red cloud

Speak to me of the future days to come
Play for me, go beat your battle drum
Ghosts of Brimstone hiding in the lake
Pray them ball and chain won't ever break

There are ways you'll come out laughing for a while
There are moments when you break down like a child
There are times when you just want to scream out loud
Dancing with the ghost of the red cloud

You left with a promise and sealed with a kiss
remember beginnings, it was nothing like this
Like brothers in arms, now worlds apart
you follow the rainbow, I follow the heart

Now, I'm perfect, I'm no Saint
but you can't fool me, so whip off that paint
You may think that I'm your stepping stone
but in this game your'e all alone

Go west Judas, see what you'll find
now, we all know what's on your mind
Just got and get it, go on collect and
burn your bridges, what did you expect

You're far from grace & you're far from home
You think you're safe in that pleasure dome
Now, racing the temple of the snakes
soon out of control, start pulling the brakes

There's no way you can become clean
you're knee deep in the mean machine
In blood you signed the dotted line
so it's no surprise the sun won't shine

Go west Judas, see what you'll find
go on "Sieg Heil" the dollar sign
You blackheart of the human trade
now wizard of the everglades

Standing in the Sun, gazing at a new day
Filling in the blanks, just another Monday
Waiting for a plane, take me down there under
Waiting for the past, waiting for the wonders

Take it to the skies, make it to the big cloud
Far below the sea, far away the runner
Think about the speed, dream about the distance
Far out to the East, leave behind all western

Cut me a slice of the sky
I wanna drown in your downbeat wonders
cut me a slice of grand old world
while trains and planes goes passing by

Standing in the sun, feeling like a flower
Looking, from a Jackass in the shadow of the towers
Standing in the heat looking at the river
Caught between this now and the rhythm of forever

Standing in the market gazing at the sundown
Curtains falling down, people pull me under
Can you hear the wild dog, can you slow the time down
Catching up with Gods, lost in all their wonders

Cut me a slice of the sky
I wanna drown in your downbeat wonders
cut me a slice of grand old world
while trains and planes goes passing by

If you really wanted to
You could write a hit
You could cut the corners
And you could make things fit

Are you really ready to believe it?
Are you really taking my advice?
Do you have a mission, can you see it?
Do you really feel that you are alright?

And soon you'll dine with presidents
And soon your name will get that nicer ring
You'll be the one familiar face
In hollow echoes from a world you sing

We don't want no bloody poem
We don't want your second thoughts
Don't you think you overdo it?
Have you heard that less is more?

If I don't wake up by tomorrow
If I don't work one more day
If this is my hearts final beating now.
Here is to you what I'd say
Never listen to tales from the high wire
Hear my flute that I played in your ear

I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world
Guess I'm a clown in the eyes of the world

What do you see in the crystal ball
Now, what may com in my way?
Tell me the truth do you love me?
Cause I haven't come here to play
Never listen to voodoo tongue teachers
Just taste the stardust I've placed in your mouth

I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world

I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world
I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world

Some may say I'm a loser
Some may say I'm a sinner
Work my way like a bulldozer
Twist my day for a change

How I love it when you're down
I love when your wings
Are nailed to the ground
And your pain brings me joy
But I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy
And this feeling is all that I know
I've been taken and bent by the undertow
And I hope you hurt like I hurt, I do
Hope you join my emotional vertigo

When it rains, it rains, it rains
My memories, they're fading fast
Like watercolors in the rain
So much I wanted to say
But I'm locked away

How I love it when you fail
When your wings are tied down to the rail
When the train run you down
See your smile break down into a frown
Any devil give credit to me
Turning triumph to sweet misery
Guess I locked my door to love long ago
And the questions don't come for the answers I know

When it rains, it rains, it rains
My memories, they're fading fast
Like watercolors in the rain
So much I wanted to say
But I'm locked away

I'm lonely and cold jealous boy
I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy

How I love it when you're down
I love when your wings
Are nailed to the ground
And your pain brings me joy
But I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy
And this feeling is all that I know
I've been taken and bent by the undertow
And I hope you hurt like I hurt, I do
Hope you join my emotional vertigo

When it rains, it rains, it rains
My memories, they're fading fast
Like watercolors in the rain
So much I wanted to say
But I'm locked away

How I love it when you fail
When your wings are tied down to the rail
When the train run you down
See your smile break down into a frown
Any devil give credit to me
Turning triumph to sweet misery
Guess I locked my door to love long ago
And the questions don't come for the answers I know

When it rains, it rains, it rains
My memories, they're fading fast
Like watercolors in the rain
So much I wanted to say
But I'm locked away

I'm lonely and cold jealous boy
I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy

Shut up just this one
Let's go where the river runs
Maybe you can change the world
But there's a lot you still have to learn

You're a child and I'm a man
There's so much you don't understand
I'm a little wiser see
I got this taste of eternity

I've got this feeling inside
Your ego has taken you for a ride
Just once you're on top of it all
"The harder they come, the harder they fall"

It's a shame you're wasting time
So many fools waiting down the line
Everyone wants to rule the world
But there's a lot they haven't heard
You're young, you're beautiful
Still it ain't nothing but fools gold
I'm a little wiser see
I'm concerned about eternity

I've got this feeling inside
Go talk to the King, he's got nothing to hide

They came to look for paradise, a better life, a better way
The purple prince he fly by night, he smile in the shades,
He sleep all day.

Struck by fate, maybe, I don't know,
All I saw was the mark of the claw
Evil never found a way down here,
The strong will survive, now that's the law

Kingdom of lies, land of the loner, power has gone to his head,
Kingdom of flies, over and over, push the needle to red,
But it get's him nowhere...

Lizards and snakes in the garden of Eden,
Whipping the weeds, made the flowers die
Down to the waters the holy Lamb, barely alive,
And the Shepard cries...

Kingdom of lies...

Last minute on earth
what would you do, who would you call?
Your mobile is down,
who will write the history of that final day?

That last minute on earth
one minute alone, lost word or cause
for one who had everything,
now unfold this scary beautiful end

Last minute on earth
saving your last famous words
maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay

Last minute on earth
fractions of time is all that is left
You used to kill time,
now it's time who's killing you, they've closed the store

Last minute on earth
waiting to fly like pigs in the dirt
gold 'round your neck,
but your wings are broken, bent & burnt they say

Last minute alive
check your account, to buy a way out
beating the clock,
but you cannot beat the feeling of being alive!!!

Last minute on earth
saving your last famous words
maybe just whistle a tune on a plain bird of clay

Last minute on earth, in the rapids of time
A story on wheels without rhythm (or rhyme)
Racing the memory lane, high and low
You own the world but got nowhere else to go

Last fraction of hope, a flickering light
Voices so clear step out of the night
...go talk to your God instead of talk to yourself
Look into the light if you're looking for help!!!
