K'S Choice

I woke up between dawn and night,
thought I heard the voice of mommy.
Sound as if my parents had a fight,
so I woke up my brother lying next to me.

(mmmmmm)

I wonder why she's making all that noise,
better go and check-it out.
So without trying to breathe only the sound of little feet
we were about to discover what that noise was all about.

And as we opened up the door,
we saw them lying on the kitchen floor.
We were grateful for they both did their best,
but we said: 'Hey, ther must be an easier way to make breakfast.'

(mmmmmm)

breakfast

(mmmmmm)

They both got up real fast
as if they were caught or something (mmmmmm)
And then we understood at last
it was a surprise breakfast they were planning.

Mommy stumbled: 'Later, kids, you'll understand.'
While daddy was busy putting on his pants.
We said: 'We already do, don't worry we'll do the rest.'
So far for our quest, we made coffee, boiled eggs.
We made them breakfast.

(mmmmmm)

Breakfast

(mmmmmm)

Oh, God, I haven't read your book.
I'm sure it was divine,
especially the part
where you turned water into wine.

Oh, God, I want you to clear my mind.
It's covered up with dirt.
And I want to taste your skin
one time before I taste the earth.

Oh, God, I apologize,
I didn't knock when I arrived.
Oh, God, I apologize,
i didn't say goodbye last night.
Oh, God.

Now I guess you have your way,
as I taste the earth today.
now I guess you have your way,
as I taste the earth today.

I smoke a lot.
I'm not talking weed or pot,
I smoke the regular stuff.
I smoke a lot.

And if you're a smoker too,
you've got to know sometimes it's tough
to be in healthy company.
People who always say:
'You smoke a lot,

Imagine the amount of money
you could save if you'd quit.
You smoke a lot,
by now you'd have a bike
aren't you concerned about the kids?

Well, of course, sure I am,
concerned a bit.
But about that bike,
i could get killed with it.
And is that what you really want,
it's not.

So I smoke a lot,
I smoke a lot.
My god I smoke a lot, and I feel fine,
I smoke a lot.

I smoke a lot,
sometimes it's great,
sometimes it's not,
I smoke a lot.

I've been thinking all night about this song.
The music's okay, but I can't find words to say.

I could sing that I'm a virgin and show my tits,
decree how sex improves the world,
in which masturbation is the thing of the day.
"I'm afraid I haven't got much to say."

I thought about "Hello, fool, I love you",
Or repeat a hundred times "How do you do".
I wanna dance with somebody, hey, I like that sound,
but there ain't nobody humpin' around.

I wanna meet the man who wrote these lyrics,
he must be great.
I wanna meet the man who wrote these songs.
I wanna meet the man.

And while I sing these words to you
there's a rat in my kitchen, don't know what I'll do.
Forget about the rat and sing along,
'cause we feel so strong and we can't go wrong.
We walk hand in hand to the promised land.

I think I met the man who wrote these lyrics.
I guess I have ignored the things he said.
I think I have noticed how expensive perfume
never coveres up smelly breath.

Today there's nothing more to say,
but someday I'll return to you.
Today things didn't go our way,
maybe tomorrow I will return to you.

Today I'd like to slip away from all this pain.
Someday I will return to you.
Today I'd like to be a cell inside your vein.
Maybe tomorrow I will return to you.

Once more I'd like to put a spider in your bed,
for that, I will return to you.
I want you to hear the things I never said,
for that, I will return to you.

Dry the rain inside my head,
to hear the things I never said,
I will return to you.

To be a light beam through a cloud,
to laugh at things I'm singing now,
I will, I will return to you.
I will return to you, to you.
Someday, I'll return to you.

As I'm walking through these streets again,
I'm crawling.
And as I try to live my life again,
I'm falling down.

Can you pick me up,
can you let it stop
can you make it go away.

won't somebody help me, is it hard
to let me find my way.
won't somebody love me, for a start,
i'm laughing as I pray.

Where is the road.
I must look at the road;
I must pray a little longer,
or laugh a little more.

That's a stupid hat you're wearing,
it doesn't really match your hair.
Did I ever tell you that your breath is worse
than what you wear.

That's exactly what she told him,
at least that's what he told me.
So I guess we could conclude
they're not a happy family.

Love's not what you see
between the legs of the majority.

That's a lovely dress you're wearing,
too bad your figure can't make it work.
When I hear the things you say,
I wonder if your brain can work.

That's exactly what he told het,
at least that's what she told me.
I scream my calls, I lock my doors,
I'm suddenly filled with apathy.

Love's not what you see
between the legs of the majority.

Although I'd like to add
the game in bed is a necessity
to make me happy.

Love's not what you see
between the legs of the majority.

Although I'd like to add
the game in bed is a necessity.

Not so long ago
we both felt love became a word.
No more than that
with sex that felt like wings without a bird.

The only thing that we both love
is in the cradle that we rock.
Six hands, six feeth, but just one beat,
the ticking of the clock.

I always heard I could get hurt,
I knew that from the start.
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck,
but please don't break my heart.

Solid woods will rot if you
don't keep it from the rain.
We were surprised when we found out
that love feels just like pain.

I always heard I could get hurt,
I knew that from the start.
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck,
but please don't break my heart.
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck,
but please don't break my heart.

I will walk away from you,
don't stop me,
I will walk away from you,
don't blame me.

I have felt the ugly midget knocking on my knee.
I have seen the ugly midget walking over me.

I will tell you what I've learned.
Were through as far as I'm concerned.
Break up and just before we do,
I will walk away from you.

I will walk away from you,
stop me.
I will walk away from you,
blame me.

I have had enough of you,
tell me you hate me too.
Or embrace me and forget
what I have said to you.

I will tell you what I've learned.
We're one as far as I'm concerned.
Make up and just before we do,
I will be walking back to you.

Walking back to you.

He was not so tall and rather fat.
He had a labrador and a limping cat.
Born in a country with a broken heart.
He had enough money and a credit card.
Told bedtime stories to his teddybear,
gave him lots of hugs and a dress to wear.
He had a small appartment, what a lovely sight.
He watched MTV all night.

Where the hell was friendship.
He must have turned it off.
And most of all he wondered: "What is love,
what the hell is love?"

He enjoyed the silence more and more.
As he heard the door slam right next door.
He had a fancy Parker and a diary
in which he wrote some poetry.
And as he went to bed at night,
the cat's eyes gave him ample light
to make him lie awake and see
the content of his misery.

Where the hell was friendship.
He must have turned it off.
And most of all he wondered: "What is love,
what the hell is love?"

Where the hell was friendship.
He must have turned it off.
And most of all he wondered: "What is love,
what the hell is love?"

You're crying but as long as it's transparent and not red
there's no real reason to be sad to the people who are
smiling, always happy, always gay they do not know
that the egdes of the mouth can move the other way.

You're freezing, the ice on which you nearly slipped outside
is in your body, in your mind, getting warmer you are
dreaming, quite useless but it feels okay to you
in a world that's dreaming too, in a world in which you

Keep on searching for a thing sublime
when all you need is inside of you.
Everybody's waiting for springtime,
well winter can be cozy too.

Cherish the moments, cherish the key
that leads to sane insanity.
Cherish incompetence, cherish me
don't ever cherish somebody who

keeps on searching for a thing sublime.
When all you need is inside of you.
Everybody's waiting for springtime,
well winter can be cozy too

The thought of you and me and me and you
It's clear, it's blurry
Your head, my mind, your mind, my head, as one
It's real, the foolish worry

I feel you and you feel me as I feel you
It's good, it's scary
The speed, the heat, it's deep, and steep
It's light but hard to carry

Listen when I'm silent there's a
Sound that only you can hear
Listen when it's quiet I know
You can hear it, cover up your ears
Cover up your ears

Your hands, my mouth, your mouth, my hands
The weight of what we're thinking
No words, the air we breathe
It's not liquid, but we're drinking

Listen when I'm silent there's a
Sound that only you can hear
Listen when it's quiet I know
You can hear it, cover up your ears
Cover up your ears

Listen when I'm silent there's a
Sound that only you can hear
A sound that only you can hear
A sound that only you can hear
A sound that only you can hear

I was a kid, you were my dad
I didn't always understand
I wanted freedom, you got mad
You were concerned, I got upset
I didn't recognize you yet
And did you cry, I know I did
When I lied to you
I didn't want to hurt you
I just never knew I did

Younever told me that you loved me
I know you didn't know how
I guess that shows we're much the same
'cause I love you too and untill now
I've never said those words out loud
I hope you're proud
To be my dad

What areyour secrets, do you pray
Is there a Gos that shows your way
I wish I knew...
Do you have crazy fantasies
What happens in your dreams
I want to know...

I guess you'll always be a mystery to me
But you taught me how to value life
and what else do I need
i have a dad who watches over me

Thunder, please explain (please explain)
why you ask me how I am, I'm fine I
wonder is it sane (is it sane)
to pierce purple eyeballs made of china

I love you like a son, like a game I have won
like a toothbrush I used for the Eiffel Tower
my youth, it is gone, it's a boot stuck in the ground
is there truth to be found in an iron flower

Mmmm... I will try hard to be a spark of power
mmmm... I will, I'll never be your iron flower

Stone please explain (please explain)
why your silence makes more noise then thunder
bones, is it sane (is it sane)
to obey me and the flesh you're under

Your words are soon gone and it hurts, I have none
take a jump from your pretty linguistic tower
the goal of speech, so obnoxious to reach
only one thing to do, melt your iron flower

Mmmm... I will try hard to be a spark of power
mmmm... I will, I'll never be your iron flower

I'm about to tell you about a man I've known
since I've been able to open up a refrigerator

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
could you freeze me in and defrost me when it's over

Mr. Freeze, I feel your chill
as I inhale the urge to kill all my emotions
I ask you please, but all you do is make me sneeze
Mr. Freeze

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
whose shadow it is that appears as I bend over

It's Mr. Freeze, I hear no sound
as I focus on the amount of my emotions
I ask you please, take the lead or let me bleed
Mr. Freeze

my temperature is really low now you're here
but you're not welcome any longer
I will release Mr. Freeze

no bangs, no yells, merely the sea
is Mr. Freeze inside of me

no bangs, no yells, merely the sea
is Mr. Freeze inside of me

no bangs, no yells, merely the sea
is Mr. Freeze inside of me

no bangs, no yells, merely the sea
is Mr. Freeze inside of me

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
how it comes that I feel so high when I ought to feel lower

Beware, beware
They're on their way
They're getting closer every day
But I'm prepared
I'm sure some common sense will
Blow them all away

They like your band
They shake your hand
They smell like food that has gone bad
Today it's you
Today will pass
I'm so sick of all this trash...

(Don't take it personally, oh no...)
(Don't take it personally, oh no...)
(Don't take it personally, oh no...)
(Don't take it personally, oh no...)

And sometimes in the middle of
The roaches' nest
You find a little soul
That understands the content of a song, so...

(Don't take it personally, oh no...)
(Don't take it personally, oh no...)
(Don't take it personally, oh no...)
(Don't take it personally, oh no...)
(Oh no...)
(Yeah...)

Breath it in and breath it out
and pass it on it's almost out
We're so creative and so much more
We're high above, but on the floor

It's not a habit, it's cool
I feel alive
If you don't have it your on
the other side

The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts there's no more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so hot

* It's not a habit, it's cool
I feel alive
If you don't have it your on
the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

Oohoo (8x)

It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
Oh, nothing means a thing to me

*Repeat

Free me, leave me
Watch me as I'm going down
Free me, see me
Look at me I'm falling
And I'm falling.........

It is not a habit, it is cool
I feel alive I feel.......
It is not a habit, it is cool
I feel alive

*Repeat

I'm not an addict, I'm not an addict, I'm not an addict.

I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
on the highway yesterday
I saw an old woman in a wheelchair
on the highway yesterday
and as I asked her to pull over
to make sure no truck would hit her
she smiled and mumbled, "okay, whatever you say."
And I said, "I wonder why."

She said, "Girl you're so na?e
and you're too young to understand
I am now chasing my husband Stan
A pale man in a black suit came to take him
in trade for a cup of tea
A pale man came to take him away from me"

And I said, "I see,"(and I really did)
"You go and chase him, go ahead
and when you catch him will you send him my love
and tell the pale man to make sure
to call before he comes to take me too."

I'm sure you're only dreaming
You're only juggling with my mind
While I feel more and more like screaming
For the scar you left behind

I'm sure you're only dreaming
I'm sure we're just a part
Of what the lucky man believes in
I'm sure you know this song by heart

You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, "shut up"
You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
You're only dreaming you're free

You will show up while I'm dreaming
Out of nowhere cross my way
You will ask me not to scream and
You will smile and you will say, "dear friend,

You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
You're only dreaming, I think I can hear you say, "shut up"
You're only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
You're only dreaming you're free
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming, dreaming...
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming
You're only dreaming, dreaming..."

Consuming far too much
Ignoring the will to touch
the ones who don't have food at all...

I'm breathing
I'm wondering how
we watch Wheel of Fortune now
I close my eyes and try to see
a piece of paradise in me

Beat me up
and smash my brand new TV
to help me look for
a little piece of paradise in me

I'm dancing, I'm writing songs
about what bothers me the most
about those who can't dance at all...

I'm only jumping
I'm only freaking out
and I wonder what it's all about
to close my eyes and finally see
a piece of paradice in me

Beat me up
and smash my brand new TV
to help me look for
a little piece of paradise in me
a little piece of paradise in me

When your pubic hair's on fire,
When you think you're the Messiah,
When you mistake a plane for Venus,
When your girlfriend's got a penis,

Something's wrong...

When you like music more than life,
When you start sleeping as you drive,
When your favourite drink is thinner,
When you're proud to be a sinner,

Something's wrong...

When a canary drives a tractor,
When your president's an actor,
When your jacket's plagued with dandruff,
If you think that this song matters,

Something's wrong...

In your dreams, in your bed
in everyone and in your head
on the wall, it ain't white
in every letter that you write

In the way people talk
in the shape of stones and rocks
he's your hero, he's your God
he listens to this song and nods.... and nods

In a voice, in a sound
when you're happy when you're down
it will pass, things will change
but you don't want to hear that

In the scent of the air
on the clothes that people wear
you feel love, so does he
and he's telling you, "I'm here".... "I'm here"
he's here.... he's here

Lalala, Lalala,.........

I'm waiting for the bus to come
I'm lying on a bench
Thinking of a book I read
And wondering what it meant

I hear footsteps coming closer
It's an ordinary man
He comes up to me, shakes my hand
And asks me who I am

I am paralysed, I can't talk or move
What could I say
And before I have the chance to think
I tell this man my name
I tell this man my name

He smiles and looks away
But I still don't know the answer to this day
To this day
To this day
To this day...
To this day
To this day
To this day...

(I don't know the answer...)

I hold it, I fold it
I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I'm afraid
that you'll be bored
it's very real and true and sad
and hopeful just like me
It'sone of those things I'll never tell
I'll carve it in a tree

I follow you, i watch you
I thank God you're in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus
and we're holding each others' hand

I need a plan for you to fall
in love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait

I never wear my glasses when
I know that you can see me
You act as if I'm not around
but deep down youmust need me

I draw you, every single
feature in my head
I try to do my homework
but I dream of you instead

I need a plan for you to fall
in love with me and then
I'llmake you marry me, I'll wait...

in a dark well
late at night
children crying, they've lost their Kite
they're left with nothing but

giant lizards
eating deer
growing appetite as they notice that
their prey's still breathing

lizards' eyes reflection
shows a glimpse of imperfection
through the spastic sighs of Innocence
of deer's blood and its cruel attraction

white kite fauna, do you feel
white kite fauna, is it real...

in a dark well
I found a kite
bloodstained, so beautiful
recognizable

I close my eyes and
I perceive
marble Emptiness
looking for my soul to bless

lizards' eyes..
white kite fauna, do you feel
white kite fauna, is it real
white kite fauna, do you feel
white kite fauna, will it heal

in a dark well
late at night
I am crying
I've lost my Kite
left with nothing

20,000 seconds since you've left and I'm still counting
And 20,000 reasons to get up,
get something done, but I'm still waiting
Is someone kind enough to pick me up and give me food,
assure me that the world is good
But you should be here, you should be here

How colors can change and even the texture of the rain
And what's that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor
I'd rather not deal with that right now
I'd rather be floating in space somewhere or
Worry about the ozone layer

And it's almost like a corny movie scene
But I'm out of frame and the lighting's bad
And the music has no theme
And we're all so strong when nothing's wrong
And the world is at our feet
But how small we are when our love is far away
And all you need is you

Bravely I look further than I see,
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now.
I'm so aware of where I am, but I don't know where that is,
And there's something right in front of me and I...

Touch the fingers of my hand
And I wonder if it's me
Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me
I believe in me

Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I'll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it's a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face

Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it's me
Holding on and on to Love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me, oh
I believe in me

Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless,
weightless, mindless, homeless Vacuum state of peace

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

Wait for me I'm nothing on my own,
I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I'm so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real
As long as you're in front of me then I'll,
Watch the fingers of my hands,
And I'm grateful that it's me,

Holding On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me.

I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now (I believe in me).

I'm so aware of everything, I'm still aware of where I am...

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead
The beauty of their colored wings
The trees, the grass and pretty things
Imagination fills the void of my existence

Daddy says "I love you girl, it's not your fault
Your mom and me don't get along"
I know he's lying, I know there's no such thing as
Inexplicable I hear, forget, this world in bed
And suddenly the sun comes up
That's when my pets all come alive
They cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right

My favorite song, my favorite show
I wonder if they even know
Or if they care or if they even notice
I am standing there
I want my pets to come alive
And cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Alright...

My eyes all red, the baby's wet
And someone has to get that phone
I want my pets to come alive and
Cheer me up and tell me

Alright...

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead

Every single night in bed a black cross says
"Perhaps you're getting better"
I'd like to thank you for your efforts to promote what really matters
Whenever you're about to fall, remember this, it's not a news flash
Don't pretend to know it all, but go ahead, call it a cocoon crash

What I really see in you, is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash

Suddenly the ego that I used to have is no bigger than an eyelash
Clearly I remember someone told me "Hold on tight, here's your cocoon crash"

What I really see in you, is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will, yeah you will
Call it what you will, yeah you will

I don't know who you are
But you seem very nice
So will you talk to me
Shall I tell you a story
Shall I tell you a dream
They think I'm crazy
But they don't know that I like it here
It's nice in here, I get everything for free

Have you been here before
Shall I show you around
It's very pretty
Have you come here to stay
Well, you sure picked a day
My name is Billy
It's my birthday, you're invited to my party down the hall

Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be
I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free

I'm not troubled or sad
I'm just ready for bed
It's been a long day
Before they switch off the lights
It truly was a delight
They think I'm crazy
But they don't know that I like it here
It's nice in here

Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be
I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free

Where I go, what I'll become or who I am or what I'll be
I'll never know, but I am sure that I'll get everything for free
Everything for free

I don't know who you are
But you seem very nice
So will you talk to me
Have you been here before
Well, you sure picked a day
They think I'm crazy...

See their heads up in a cloud, watch them follow what goes on
Through a little screen, oh no, the picture's gone
There is always something else to do
as long as it's no tricky conversation
About the meaning of our lives or
the reason why we pray before we die
I'm afraid I have to say that all of this combined with me
Is very wicked chemistry

It might take a while, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on

Come on let your wallet be your witness
Put your feelings in a can
Idolize a common man and join the band
You might fall for that but all of this combined with me
Is very wicked chemistry

It might take a while, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on

Everywhere, picture you are dancing just like Fred Astaire
Close your eyes and feel the wind blow through your hair
And cool your perfect body and blow away the cross you used to bear

It might take a while, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on
Take your time, turn me on
Live freestyle, come on

Before last night my heart was grey
Like my country is today
Big kaleidoscope I see
A thousand people gaze at me
To break the ice I start to sing
About a cell called everything
A cell so big a word like small
Is suitable to say it all
Is the fighting over, I lost track
Like a wave it all comes back
Same kaleidoscope I see
Someone standing next to me
It's hard to do, it's hard to try
Hard to stop wondering why
Do I keep filing every case
When the answer's on your face
You can't see her but you do
Music is transparent too
So join me, sing with all your might
Hallelujah, praise tonight
Far away and long ago
Wintertime meant feeling low
Now every single star looks bright
God was in my bed last night

Watch me, I'm coming closer
I am the mood you're in tonight
Pretty poser, perfect armageddon bride
I am a circle, it feels right
I am the one who swallows light
Multiplying parasite
Perfect features, perfect sight

You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
You should have killed me
You should have tried
Armageddon bride, hide, hide

Watch me, bright but blurry
Yet you knew I've always been
In a hurry to contaminate what's clean

Drawing whiskers in the sky for fun, to cover up the sun
As you sting me with your laughter

Hide, hide, armageddon bride, hide, hide
You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
You should have killed me
You should have tried
You better hide
Armageddon

You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
Hide, hide, hide

Outside it's raining, still you shine
How I've missed your trembling hands inside of mine
I've been away for ages, still you care
Do you count the Sundays when I'm there

Teach me how to watch this game
The way you see it through your magical frame
Time is ticking, try to see
That I am you and you are me

Don't deny that you're afraid to go
Don't deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
If you're not scared, then why am I

Tell me stories, tell me more
Make me feel guilty for being bored
Tell me how to pick up things I've dropped
Please keep talking, never stop

Don't deny that you're afraid to go
Don't deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children grow
I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don't understand but how I try
If you're not scared, then why am I
I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don't understand but how I try
If you're not scared, then why am I

If you're not scared, then why am I
If you're not scared, then why am I

As she falls down and hurts her head
She's lying still but she's not dead
Awakens slowly, sees a picture of herself
On the wall as she gets up
Straightens her dress and calls me up
She says: 'I know now, I am whole now. Can you come?'

In your room where both of you are talking
Your good side and your bad
Discussing who has better hair
In your space, I hear four feet walking
And there are two more knocking
In case you're wondering
I'm still on your side

As she embraces all of me
I want her only to need me
It doesn't matter what I tell her because she changes
Her mind before she speaks
And tends to talk before she thinks
But how I love her

I know there's truth for you somewhere
If I were wise I'd take you there
But I'm not, at least not yet
So I'll be watching you instead
In your room, in your room

In your room, I can wander around forever
And I recognize the color of the walls that we painted
In your chair that I broke because I was careless
I can sit and watch you dance around
My words are spoken, I am on your side
My words are spoken, I am on your side
In your room, in your room

My past, my future, my disease
Perhaps collapse to make me seize
A moment
Just a breeze

Grateful, humble I allow
These words to be the past somehow
I wonder
Am I here now

Am I here now
I feel hear see and it confuses me
I'm wrong
I am here now
Is mine I'll take it
All around the world

Take my future past, it's fine
But now is mine

My precious present will you bloom
To make this fourth dimension womb
Stop asking
Stop asking why

All I know is all I am
Will never fully understand my breathing
I try
How I try to feel hear see and it confuses me
I'm wrong
I am here now
Is mine I'll take it
All around the world

Take my future past, it's fine
But now is mine

In this quiet little place,
I can't remember having known a different pace
In this quiet little place,
I can surrender to the beauty of its face

And now everything I see
Whether it's an airplane or a tree
It makes me wonder
About the things I must have missed
And the chains around my wrists
They are no longer

In this quiet little place
I can't imagine what it's like to be back home
Where they care about what time it is
And spend their days answering the phone

And now everything I feel
Whether it's fiction or it's real
It's so much clearer
Like the color of this light
It seems more dangerous and bright
But I don't fear her

And slowly it fades, I'm back in the race
I have to fight it, I know
I don't want to go away

In this quiet little place
You run your fingers through my hair and whisper "Hey"
And no matter how I try, I can't seem to think of anything better to say

Too many happy faces, I wonder what that means
Are you personally offended by an iron on your jeans
Too many happy faces, is that more than you can bear
Or is it part of what you should be, lack of hygiene in your hair

Oohooh, oohooh
Oohooh, ooh

If I thought you were clever, I'd be even more upset
And if you knew what you were saying, I might even have respect
As a Christian I should love you

But I don't need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn't care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn't just me

Oh I don't think I'm better or kinder of heart, I'm as guilty as I can be
But every chance I get to put a smile on someone's face I will take it,
believe me

But I don't need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn't care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn't just me
No I wish that it wasn't just me

Too many happy faces
How eloquent you are
You know someday I think you'll
Become a big, big superstar

But I don't need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn't care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn't just me

No, I don't need to hear your depressing remarks
See your know-it-all face on TV
And I couldn't care less about what you want to say
And I wish that it wasn't just me
No, I wish that it wasn't just me
No, I wish that it wasn't just me

If I could put you in a frame, I'd draw you smiling
With a cigarette in your mouth
and your hands reaching out for something
If I could, if I could wear all your clothes I'd still be different
And if I had your speaking voice I'd never whisper
I'd talk and talk and talk

We will be winners
Our heads glued together
And all is indefinite in you

Whatever you've been told
Don't turn to God because you're cold
Try the black one, white is nice
If you want blue, you'll pay the price
Is there no room for us
I'll make a space for us

We will be winners
Our heads glued together
And all is indefinite in you

Meet me in front of the room where we kissed
Where you changed me, estranged me
Where no one resists
Where I followed you, hollowed by you

We will be winners
Our heads glued together
And all is indefinite in you
We will be winners
We will be winners

Is there anything you want from me
My arms, my life, my energy
I don't know how far I can go
Everything says no
But you know how it goes when
You're used to your side of the bed

I know you don't belong in this room
But you're here now
So what can I do

All that I am is
All I was taught to be
All that you are is
A wall between myself and me

Have you ever really looked at me
Or thought about me secretly
Do I make you wonder at all
About the speed of light
Outside our little world we might not
Feel so alone and

I know you don't belong in this room
But you're here now
So what can I do

All that I am is
All I was taught to be
All that you are is
A wall between myself and me

All that I am is
All I was taught to be
All that you are is
A wall between myself and me

If I could look beyond your face
And photograph your hidden place
Would I find you smiling in the picture

I don't know what you want
Because you don't know
So what's the point of asking

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

Far too many ways to go
We learn so much but never know
Where to look
Or when we should stop looking

I can love the whole of you.
The poetry I stole from you
And hide inside my stomach

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

It's easy to get lost in you
And fall asleep inside of you
I want to return to you
A reason to be here
A reason to be here

No, I don't know what you want
As you don't know
So what's the point of asking

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts
You're almost happy
You're almost content
But your head hurts

You turn off the light, you kiss me good night
Mother, I know that I'm gonna be alright

And I just can't wait to grow up
Find my own life, be a good wife
And a smart one, I'm sure

I never took us for granted and I always knew
You and I are special
But I never knew how much I'd miss you

So much has changed and been rearranged
And I see that I've lost
What made me so young and incredibly strong
And never ever wrong
You were always there
'Cos you're always everywhere

I used to cry for no reason
And that's still the same
Except that I had adolescence to blame
But not now

Now I feel sad 'cos I don't know what's true
And I miss thinking I could be just like you

So much has changed and been rearranged
And I see that I've lost
What made me so young and incredibly strong
And never ever wrong
So much has changed and been rearranged
And I see that I've lost
What made me so sure that I could endure
How hard it is to lose and lose and lose and live again
And never understand

You are always everywhere
You are always everywhere
You're always there
You're always there
You're always everywhere
You're always there
Cause you're always everywhere

You turn off the light, and kiss me goodnight
And mother, I know that I'm gonna be alright

I wish you could adore
The way you did before
Now you're living through another year
Oh, the light you were
Will soon become a blur
As you're living through another year

Oh, what a waste of time it is
To indulge inside of bliss
Getting ready for another year like this

Another year to lie
Another year goes by

You're not sick, so you can't heal
But I wonder do you feel
The need to cry: 'I'm out of here'
Oh, your goal is safe
But is it all you crave
As you're living through another year

Oh, what a waste of time it is
To indulge inside of bliss
Getting ready for another year like this

Another year to lie
Another year goes by

Is it me on how I see
The face of mediocrity
I try to smile you see
Your lightness darkens me
Filter all of your emotions
Fake you're never low
Or face the one you fear
You're living through another year

Another year to lie
Another year goes by
Another year to lie
Another year goes by

You think you haven't changed
You think I'm being sentimental
You've finally reached that age
Security is fundamental

You think you haven't changed
You think that you're just growing older
You wanted to be safe
But it turned you into someone colder

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself
You think you haven't changed

Is anyone to blame
I'd really like to think it's you
But it seems like that's the way
Everyone but me is going

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face.
Do you still see a trace of yourself

I'm losing all of you
To future plans and obligations
I guess that's what you do
When life's about your next vacation

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face
Do you still see a trace of yourself

You think you haven't changed
You think you haven't changed

There you are
Your beauty consoles me
I've gone far
And I almost didn't find you
And I almost lived without you
There is nothing in this world
I'd rather do
Than live in you

Here we go
Our favorite adventure
You should know
I was never more complete
And I never thought I'd see
The meaning of my life
Wrapped in you
Next to me

If you ever fear
Someday we might lose this
Come back here
To this moment that will last
And time can go so fast
When everything's exactly
Where it's at
Its very best

I was born in a cradle of love
I had two brothers who beat me up
When I was 7 years old
I had a friend named Tom
And when we were together
I didn't want to go home, home

When I was 15, I was very confused
I made a bad habit out of breaking the rules
The kitchen window
Was my door to the night
And when I got caught
They made me stay home, home

I was 20 years old when I met you
And as soon I as saw you
I knew what I had to do
I still remember the way you looked
And how I wanted to tell you
I want to take you home, home

I'm 26 and I still love you
But as far as the world goes
I still don't have a clue
What it's for or what it's about
But until I find out,
I'll just call it home. home

Wij maken een kringetje
van jongens en van meisjes
wij maken een kringetje
van tralala

maak nu een buiging
maak nu een buiging

Bij de hand
bij de hand
pak je maatje bij de hand

STOP

Life has always been a pretty song
And pretty loud
You're so beautiful
Why is it fading out

I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

Now the boy who dried your tears
Is crying all the time
Now the joy I've had for years
Has left me for a while

I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

I will breathe the air, I'll dance
And you will wonder why
It's because you made me see
This chance was moving by

Because I'm not going to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

When a cloud becomes my head
Play your music loud instead
And we'll dance until
The both of us are dead

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

No, I know what you said
But that doesn't mean that I understand
And you don't know what I meant by that
But it's sweet that you tried
That you're on my side

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

As close, as close as we'll get
We touch and it's gone
I must have been wrong when I thought
Everything melts in us
Though sometimes it does

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

No, I'll never be you
But I don't need to
As long as you love me like you

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
And I would be heard
If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

Any time tomorrow I will lie and say I'm fine
I'll say yes when I mean no
And any time tomorrow
The sun will cease to shine
There's a shadowman who told me so

Any time tomorrow the rain will play a part
Of a play I used to know
Like no other
Used to know it all by heart
But a shadowman inside has let it go

Oh no, let go of my hand
Oh no, not now I'm down, my friend
You came to me and new
Or was it me who came to you
Shadowman, shadowman

Any time tomorrow a part of me will die
And a new one will be born
Any time tomorrow
I'll get sick of asking why
Sick of all the darkness I have worn

Any time tomorrow
I will try to do what's right
Making sense of all I can
Any time tomorrow I'll pretend to see the light
I just might
Shadowman

Oh here's the sun again
Isn't it appealing to recline
Get blinded and to go into the light again
Doesn't it make you sad
To see so much love denied
See nothing but a shadowman inside

Oh no, let go of my hand
Oh no, not now I'm down, my friend
You came to me anew
Or was it me who came to you
Shadowman

Oh, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect
Please, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect

Oh, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect
Please, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect

There's something about this day
That feels a lot like yesterday
Everything looks the same
The wall, the tv set
The way I move around myself to be

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me

I never felt like I belonged
To anything or anyone
Still I depend on you
For every single thing
I could be wrong about so much, but

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me

I'm too young to know I'm young
I'm too selfish to be strong
Am I too old
To allow my adolescence to go on

There's something about this day
That's not at all like yesterday
I could be

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me

Somewhere over there
Where things just seem to grow
Where somebody seems to know
What they want from me

Is there anything you want from me
My arms, my life, my energy
I don't know how far I can go
Everything says no
But you know how it goes when
You're used to your side of the bed

Bravely I look further than I see,
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now.
I'm so aware of where I am, but I don't know where that is,
And there's something right in front of me and I...

Touch the fingers of my hand
And I wonder if it's me
Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me
I believe in me

Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I'll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it's a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face

Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it's me
Holding on and on to Love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me, oh
I believe in me

Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless,
weightless, mindless, homeless Vacuum state of peace

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

Wait for me I'm nothing on my own,
I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I'm so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real
As long as you're in front of me then I'll,
Watch the fingers of my hands,
And I'm grateful that it's me,

Holding On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me.

I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now (I believe in me).

I'm so aware of everything, I'm still aware of where I am...

I woke up between dawn and night,
thought I heard the voice of mommy.
Sound as if my parents had a fight,
so I woke up my brother lying next to me.

(mmmmmm)

I wonder why she's making all that noise,
better go and check-it out.
So without trying to breathe only the sound of little feet
we were about to discover what that noise was all about.

And as we opened up the door,
we saw them lying on the kitchen floor.
We were grateful for they both did their best,
but we said: 'Hey, ther must be an easier way to make breakfast.'

(mmmmmm)

breakfast

(mmmmmm)

They both got up real fast
as if they were caught or something (mmmmmm)
And then we understood at last
it was a surprise breakfast they were planning.

Mommy stumbled: 'Later, kids, you'll understand.'
While daddy was busy putting on his pants.
We said: 'We already do, don't worry we'll do the rest.'
So far for our quest, we made coffee, boiled eggs.
We made them breakfast.

(mmmmmm)

Breakfast

(mmmmmm)

You think you haven't changed
You think I'm being sentimental
You've finally reached that age
Security is fundamental

You think you haven't changed
You think that you're just growing older
You wanted to be safe
But it turned you into someone colder

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself
You think you haven't changed

Is anyone to blame
I'd really like to think it's you
But it seems like that's the way
Everyone but me is going

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face.
Do you still see a trace of yourself

I'm losing all of you
To future plans and obligations
I guess that's what you do
When life's about your next vacation

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your place
Can you still find some space for yourself

You're so busy these days
Rearranging your face
Do you still see a trace of yourself

You think you haven't changed
You think you haven't changed

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead
The beauty of their colored wings
The trees, the grass and pretty things
Imagination fills the void of my existence

Daddy says "I love you girl, it's not your fault
Your mom and me don't get along"
I know he's lying, I know there's no such thing as
Inexplicable I hear, forget, this world in bed
And suddenly the sun comes up
That's when my pets all come alive
They cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right

My favorite song, my favorite show
I wonder if they even know
Or if they care or if they even notice
I am standing there
I want my pets to come alive
And cheer me up and tell me

Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Everything's alright
Stuffed animals are always right
Alright...

My eyes all red, the baby's wet
And someone has to get that phone
I want my pets to come alive and
Cheer me up and tell me

Alright...

I lock the door and lock my head
And dream of butterflies instead

Every single night in bed a black cross says
"Perhaps you're getting better"
I'd like to thank you for your efforts to promote what really matters
Whenever you're about to fall, remember this, it's not a news flash
Don't pretend to know it all, but go ahead, call it a cocoon crash

What I really see in you, is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash

Suddenly the ego that I used to have is no bigger than an eyelash
Clearly I remember someone told me "Hold on tight, here's your cocoon crash"

What I really see in you, is nothing like the things you do
As you are doing them right now
What you would really love to win
To become the air as well as trash
Is to get rid of all your skin
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will
Go ahead, call it a cocoon crash
Call it what you will, call it what you will, yeah you will
Call it what you will, yeah you will

Oh, God, I haven't read your book.
I'm sure it was divine,
especially the part
where you turned water into wine.

Oh, God, I want you to clear my mind.
It's covered up with dirt.
And I want to taste your skin
one time before I taste the earth.

Oh, God, I apologize,
I didn't knock when I arrived.
Oh, God, I apologize,
i didn't say goodbye last night.
Oh, God.

Now I guess you have your way,
as I taste the earth today.
now I guess you have your way,
as I taste the earth today.

Before last night my heart was grey
Like my country is today
Big kaleidoscope I see
A thousand people gaze at me
To break the ice I start to sing
About a cell called everything
A cell so big a word like small
Is suitable to say it all
Is the fighting over, I lost track
Like a wave it all comes back
Same kaleidoscope I see
Someone standing next to me
It's hard to do, it's hard to try
Hard to stop wondering why
Do I keep filing every case
When the answer's on your face
You can't see her but you do
Music is transparent too
So join me, sing with all your might
Hallelujah, praise tonight
Far away and long ago
Wintertime meant feeling low
Now every single star looks bright
God was in my bed last night

Watch me, I'm coming closer
I am the mood you're in tonight
Pretty poser, perfect armageddon bride
I am a circle, it feels right
I am the one who swallows light
Multiplying parasite
Perfect features, perfect sight

You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
You should have killed me
You should have tried
Armageddon bride, hide, hide

Watch me, bright but blurry
Yet you knew I've always been
In a hurry to contaminate what's clean

Drawing whiskers in the sky for fun, to cover up the sun
As you sting me with your laughter

Hide, hide, armageddon bride, hide, hide
You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
You should have killed me
You should have tried
You better hide
Armageddon

You who thought you had it all
Lost your leaves before the fall
Hide, hide, hide

I smoke a lot.
I'm not talking weed or pot,
I smoke the regular stuff.
I smoke a lot.

And if you're a smoker too,
you've got to know sometimes it's tough
to be in healthy company.
People who always say:
'You smoke a lot,

Imagine the amount of money
you could save if you'd quit.
You smoke a lot,
by now you'd have a bike
aren't you concerned about the kids?

Well, of course, sure I am,
concerned a bit.
But about that bike,
i could get killed with it.
And is that what you really want,
it's not.

So I smoke a lot,
I smoke a lot.
My god I smoke a lot, and I feel fine,
I smoke a lot.

I smoke a lot,
sometimes it's great,
sometimes it's not,
I smoke a lot.

As I'm walking through these streets again,
I'm crawling.
And as I try to live my life again,
I'm falling down.

Can you pick me up,
can you let it stop
can you make it go away.

won't somebody help me, is it hard
to let me find my way.
won't somebody love me, for a start,
i'm laughing as I pray.

Where is the road.
I must look at the road;
I must pray a little longer,
or laugh a little more.

Life has always been a pretty song
And pretty loud
You're so beautiful
Why is it fading out

I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

Now the boy who dried your tears
Is crying all the time
Now the joy I've had for years
Has left me for a while

I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

I will breathe the air, I'll dance
And you will wonder why
It's because you made me see
This chance was moving by

Because I'm not going to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

When a cloud becomes my head
Play your music loud instead
And we'll dance until
The both of us are dead

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

I'm about to tell you about a man I've known
since I've been able to open up a refrigerator

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
could you freeze me in and defrost me when it's over

Mr. Freeze, I feel your chill
as I inhale the urge to kill all my emotions
I ask you please, but all you do is make me sneeze
Mr. Freeze

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
whose shadow it is that appears as I bend over

It's Mr. Freeze, I hear no sound
as I focus on the amount of my emotions
I ask you please, take the lead or let me bleed
Mr. freeze

my temperature is really low now; you're here
but you're not welcome any longer
I will release Mr. Freeze

no bangs,no yells, merely the sea
is Mr. Freeze inside of me...

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
how it comes that I feel so high when I ought to feel lower

No, I know what you said
But that doesn't mean that I understand
And you don't know what I meant by that
But it's sweet that you tried
That you're on my side

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

As close, as close as we'll get
We touch and it's gone
I must have been wrong when I thought
Everything melts in us
Though sometimes it does

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

No, I'll never be you
But I don't need to
As long as you love me like you

If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
And I would be heard
If you were my head
You'd know where it hurts
You'd clean up the dirt
If you were my head
I would be heard

Not so long ago
we both felt love became a word.
No more than that
with sex that felt like wings without a bird.

The only thing that we both love
is in the cradle that we rock.
Six hands, six feeth, but just one beat,
the ticking of the clock.

I always heard I could get hurt,
I knew that from the start.
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck,
but please don't break my heart.

Solid woods will rot if you
don't keep it from the rain.
We were surprised when we found out
that love feels just like pain.

I always heard I could get hurt,
I knew that from the start.
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck,
but please don't break my heart.
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck,
but please don't break my heart.

Breathe it in and breathe it out
And pass it on, it's almost out
We're so creative, so much more
We're high above but on the floor
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side

The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so high

It's not an habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie

It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
Oh, nothing means a thing to me

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie

Free me, leave me
Watch me as I'm going down
Free me, see me
Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling

It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive, I feel
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie
I'm not an addict
I'm not an addict
I'm not an addict

Any time tomorrow I will lie and say I'm fine
I'll say yes when I mean no
And any time tomorrow
The sun will cease to shine
There's a shadowman who told me so

Any time tomorrow the rain will play a part
Of a play I used to know
Like no other
Used to know it all by heart
But a shadowman inside has let it go

Oh no, let go of my hand
Oh no, not now I'm down, my friend
You came to me and new
Or was it me who came to you
Shadowman, shadowman

Any time tomorrow a part of me will die
And a new one will be born
Any time tomorrow
I'll get sick of asking why
Sick of all the darkness I have worn

Any time tomorrow
I will try to do what's right
Making sense of all I can
Any time tomorrow I'll pretend to see the light
I just might
Shadowman

Oh here's the sun again
Isn't it appealing to recline
Get blinded and to go into the light again
Doesn't it make you sad
To see so much love denied
See nothing but a shadowman inside

Oh no, let go of my hand
Oh no, not now I'm down, my friend
You came to me anew
Or was it me who came to you
Shadowman

Oh, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect
Please, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect

Oh, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect
Please, if you're coming down to rescue me
Now would be perfect

You're crying but as long as it's transparent and not red
there's no real reason to be sad to the people who are
smiling, always happy, always gay they do not know
that the egdes of the mouth can move the other way.

You're freezing, the ice on which you nearly slipped outside
is in your body, in your mind, getting warmer you are
dreaming, quite useless but it feels okay to you
in a world that's dreaming too, in a world in which you

Keep on searching for a thing sublime
when all you need is inside of you.
Everybody's waiting for springtime,
well winter can be cozy too.

Cherish the moments, cherish the key
that leads to sane insanity.
Cherish incompetence, cherish me
don't ever cherish somebody who

keeps on searching for a thing sublime.
When all you need is inside of you.
Everybody's waiting for springtime,
well winter can be cozy too
