When the fever burns your brain
When your heart has got a name And you long for generous days You want a spring in your walk and a smile on your face.. Another day inside the pearl You could have screamed; leaving this world You laugh'n'joke without a care And bear a depression you can see from the air.. Ride the tail of rhyme Break the legs of time - Snap it's spine.. As a statue wearing complicated clothes A monument to power, standing, but on reconstrucdead toes At my feet there's a plate I haven't read.. Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead A tambourine rings in my blood The circus' rolling'n'the cage is locked.. So where's the light - a match that flares - The pot at the end of the rainbow's where Pick your nose as you pick your friends Or spend a life in fear of the end To tell a nodding shrink won't help - So I say to myself: Hey, get a hold on yourself! Ride the tail of rhyme Break the legs of time - Snap it's spine.. As a statue wearing complicated clothes A monument to power, standing, but on reconstrucdead toes At my feet there's a plate I haven't read.. Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead, reconstrucdead.. My eyes are blind My mind is numb But my ears begin to hear - to hear the growing hum Like a statue, jealous of the rush hour I'm reconstrucdead like a monument, a monument to power As a statue wearing complicated clothes Standing high up as a tower now, but still the cracks will - yeah The cracks will show A lifetime of frustration - the things that I can't get Apart from that - then I'll be reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead Reconstrucdead |

Set out on a laughless day
Like a troupe of clowns Peekin' out of a show man's car Through cabbage town... You feel a cold wind blow Through your open mind The end is about to start So you shut it hard... As the weather girl predicts: Conducting the clouds with her stick The day will be clear'n'funny - Before it rains... Written in water Yeah, it's bound to disappear Written in water Down the crater of your ear As long as the flavor lasts In c-h-e-w-i-n-g gum As long as we float around This golf ball sun... The light to replace the day Is ten shades of gray A kiss removes the skin Shows you where you've been Under the ultra-violet ray A rule every fool obeys Hold up your name in fire - Before it rains... Written in water Yeah, it's bound to disappear Written in water Written on a wave of fear.. Written in water Yeah, it's bound to disappear Down-the-velvet-crater-of-your-ee-aa-rrr Yeah, written in water It's bound to disappear Written in water Written on a wave of fear Written in water It's bound to disappear Down the velvet crater of your ear Iiiiiiiiiiiihhjairr!... Written in water |

I've got a painters eye
And a skilled musicians ears And I'm silent - in 7 languages And I've got all my family's fears... What lives inside you? Yeah, what stuffs your skin?? - Someone elses memory.. How come I never hear what I wanna hear How come I never see what I wanna see... The choice is small If there's choice at all But I'm holding on as if I'm going to fall Now I know how it feels - To be ragged and wild -- Whipped like a stepchild Feel the soulbender Fear's knocking at your skin Feel the soulbender Just to see if any soul is in.. Whether one want them to or not So far between a while well spent And the time spent keepin' up... Make one devoted And settle like a bird Forgive and try not to hurt Don't take your garbage - Anywhere but out.. Before the pup in your heart - Becomes a dog in your mind And it's licking my brains... Sucking reason out It will be cooking my head With the lid on tight You know how it feels: - 'Till I'm ragged and wild Whipped like a stepchild Feel the soulbender - Fear's knocking at your skin Feel the soulbender - Just to see if any soul is in.. Feel the soulbender - Fear's knocking at your skin Feel the soulbender - Bend you - Break you.. With empty eyes; Blank, like two wet stones In search for a home; In search for a soul Handed down on the family network Learning how it works... - To be a jerk.. Feel the soulbender... |

I found a way of payin' off old debts
Always make more promises, than you can break An argument that calls for more Ends with a cold message on the freezer's door Where there's a will; there's a won't.. From I to "we" - but still unowned.. Read it between the lies When someone's asking someone something Then you're proved, that is's a dumb thing You're telling a drowning man, not to grab for straws I'm a kid in a rowboat, who's lost his oars.. Going through your things; but nothing's new A wild imagination with the tightest view... Our voodoo dolls are full of holes - You learned by going, where you had to go Where there's will, there's a won't.. From I to "we" - but still unowned Read it between the lies When someone's asking someone something And then you're proved that it's a dumb thing You're telling a drowning man - not to grab for straws I'm a kid in a rowboat who's lost his oars.. Yeah, yeah.. When someone's asking someone something And then you're proved that it's a dumb thing Yeah! You're telling a drowning man - not to grab for straws I'm a kid in a rowboat who's lost his oars.. 'Found a way of payin' off old debts Always make more promises than you can break An argument that calls for more Ends with a cold message on the freezer's door When someone's asking someone something And then you're proved that it's a dumb thing Yeah, you're telling a drowning man - not to grab for straws I'm a kid in a rowboat who's lost his oars... |

This is the lazy quiz
And you got all the time there is We'll spend some time on greed'n'wealth And then some on mental-health... No need to sweat or bite your lips.. No grand prize, cars or trips It's knowin when to quit... If it wasn't for me and the likes of me And what I choose to do.. If you could tell, I'd like to know Why you've become: So candid unreserved'n'true I'd rather you were I, than I were you Candid As if you held the truth Sometimes honesty Will kill the fool Now, my word no one relies on Never said a foolish thing.. Then again... never said a wise one It's never what you think - it's knowing when to quit |

Yeah, I've changed but I kept my name
To retell a joke, it won't be the same My eyes burn new black hollow holes My fate's revealed my future's told Mercurychrome.. Waitin', when the wound's scraped raw Bones... The biggest stitches that you ever wore Blood in blood out Feel your past unwind Blood in blood out Through sweat'n'hair Blood in blood out My anorexic mind Blood in blood out Gaspin' for air I'm all right, I'm habituated So I tip my hand, afraid to play it.. And then my ribs goes twang - And off they fly.. It wasn't meant for human eyes Let it go... Yeah, another life, another form Slow... But, nothing happens when it comes along Blood in blood out Feel your past unwind Blood in blood out Through sweat'n'hair Blood in blood out My anorexic mind Blood in blood out Gaspin' for air Check my heart'n'respiration I feel I look a little pale I just missed another station - I'm stepping off the carousel... Blood in blood out... |

There's many a difference quickly found
Between the different people walking around But you know it's a strange illusion, chaos and confusion.. When the tree of life is cut down to where There's nothing left, but a toothpick of despair So instead of support you - we find it's cheaper to deport you! I carry it over my shoulder like a lance A pole with a banner sayin'; T-To-Tolerance!! It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright Some have more than some will ever get A farewell to arms; a farewell to legs You know it'll only get worse, when it stops getting better!. The smell of a dozen countries cooking The whole beserk package on end while you're looking There'll be no red light that stops us when the road is ending I carry it over my shoulder like a lance A pole with a banner sayin'; T-To-Tolerance!! It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright Yeah, It'swhenit'swrongit'sright! It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright It'swhenit'swrongit'sright - It's all wrong; but that's all-right!! |

Small ideas on little minds
Many fish of many kinds Easy cash'n'lots of leisure Above primal law; the prize of pleasure It pulls you down It's perfectly clear There's and end To even the worst career... Everybody knows it's up'n'down But here it's forth'n'back.. And though money makes the world go around It often makes it flat... All talk of taste's beside the point Shift your ideas; make up your mind - Did you know fun, was this much work If there's a cost, is it still worth it... But, I declare each one a friend! And take day by day untill the end.. Everybody knows it's up'n'down But here it's forth'n'back.. And though money makes the world go around It often makes it flat.. It often makes it flat- But I declare each one a friend And take day by day untill the end Everybody knows it's up'n'down But here it's forth'n'back.. Though money makes the world go around It often makes it flat.. Everybody knows it's up'n'down But here it's forth'n'back.. Though money makes the world go around It often makes it flat. It often makes it flat.. It often makes it flat... |
