4. How Could I Know
5. The Truth Has Never Been Told
Cut The Dust
I walked in the door
You got nothing to know
I started to laugh
We both laughed
Rolling wheels
We´re running on
Should I hide my story
That I´m not alone
Will we grow with the story
Or are we falling apart
Will trees be my shelter
When bees are falling like rain
Can you still trust
Should I cut the dust
For you
I woke up this morning
With a cruel sound
My feet started to walk
My head was down
A man played his harp
Full of sounds of sunshine and love
I walked out the door
I still got nothing to know
Worn out shoes
And I´m walking slow
Are we able to return
Where we have been before
Can you still trust
Should I cut the dust
For you
Can you still trust
Should I cut the dust
For you
Street Lights
I had a bad dream
So the sky sang a song
Just for me
Just for me
I pulled my back
Out of the window to climb
Down the wall
Trying to find a place where
Glass is breaking stone
And trees grow down the sky
Street lights had been
Turned on but you
You haven´t been there
Street light´s had been
Turned on but you
You haven´t been there
I couldn´t find myself
On the peace train
Like Steven used to sing
I pulled my hand
To the coffee machine
To keep my heart beatin’
My pillow screamed
A bar fight in his dram
Then I got back to sleep
Street lights had been
Turned on but you
You haven´t been there
Street light´s had been
Turned on but you
You haven´t been there
I broke my strings
So the sky played a song
Just for me, just for me
I got drums in my head
I started to dance
Out of my mind
I got in the bus
To buy me book
But the bus the bus
Never arrived
Street lights had been
Turned on but you
You haven´t been there
Street light´s had been
Turned on but you
You haven´t been there
Quicksand
I don´t feel broken
Rather sad and confused
Hurting my darling
Should I be amused
I can´t get out of here
Walls are staring at me
Smiles and laughs
Meet danger and doubts
I´m tired of wasting
Wasting my nights
I´m tired of thinking
Thoughtful and bright
Talking trough nights
Missing my point
Using torches
I´m out of joint
But I love you
Please don´t go away
Stuck in quicksand
Hiding my way
Please don´t go away
One day I will grow up
Listen my baby
You´re a gift I´m a buck
I can get lonely
Rather happy and glad
Things got out of hand
And I forgot what you said
Quicksand is coming
I can´t just walk through
Crushing my chest
I´m bothering you
How Could I Know
I Never went to ground
Except when you’re around
He tried to strangle me down
Cause he´s in love with her
How could I know that her smile
Wasn´t real
I tried to stay cool
I got punched by a fool
I tried to catch some air
Cause he´s in love with her
How could I know it´s a crime
Talking to her
Again he´s raising his fist
Another guy got pissed
Both are raising their arms
Cause I was looking at her
How could I know that he´s crazy
In love with her
The whole crowed stayed calm
A great movie was on
Except of caring his love
Another girl kissed her
How could he know that she is gone
So fast
The Truth Has Never Been Told
I´m standing around
I´m wasting my time
In this same room where I´ve been
Hanging out now for a while
Same old story
Or rhythm of life
I don´t wanna be bored
Inspiration´s a crime
A dream
Is built on dreaming
So dreams
Never come true
And the truth
Has never been told before
Is it the same truth
Hanging around
Strangers hanging around
Wasting their time
I got some issues here
I´m spending my money the whole night
Don´t lie to me baby
Don´t cry for me too
It´s just a dream that makes me cry
When I´m without you
Don´t lie to me baby
Don´t cry for me too
It´s the truth that makes me cry
When I´m without you
A dream
Is built on dreaming
So dreams
Never come true
And the truth
Has never been told before
Is it the same truth
Hanging around
Fall From Trees
When home is not home
And life is not real
When it´s raining women
Crashing onto the street
I tried to help
I went insane
Nobody was there
to help me
I got up on my feet
I started to run
To a place where women
Don´t fall from trees
I wasn´t sure to believe
Smuggled into my dream
I could hear the thumb
When she crashed on the street
I forgot what to do
I went insane
I tried to look away
the image gripped my brain
I got up on my feet
I started to run
To a place where women
Don´t fall from trees
The murky sun went down
I saw her lie on the ground
She opened her eyes
I thought she was not alive
I started back
I went insane
I made a call
Nobody picked up the phone
I got up on my feet
I started to run
To a place where women
Don´t fall from trees
Let me wake from this dream
Mules Are Dancing Tango
Mules are dancing tango
And pigs act like bees
Clocks are running faster
One second´s like a day
Eyes look like ashtrays
Straight people are gay
Faces crash on the street
The elephant´s like a tree
I fall down
I fall so deep
The parachute´s with me
The parachute´s with me
I fall down
I fall so deep
It´s just a bottle of wine
Who´s catching me
In case who´s catching me
Who turns the other cheek
Books need passports
Prisoners are free
Bags are driving caps and
Candles smell like tea
A whore is no whore
If fucking is for free
Riding mobile phones
What horses intent to be
I fall down
I fall so deep
The parachute´s with me
The parachute´s with me
I fall down
I fall so deep
It´s just a bottle of wine
Who´s catching me
In case who´s catching me
Who turns the other cheek
Pants need a haircut
Chairs are taking a seat
The laundry´s never dry
And monkeys swim in the sea
White is the rainbow
Christmas eve´s in July
We hide behind windows
And clouds can´t fly
I fall down
I fall so deep
The parachute´s with me
The parachute´s with me
I fall down
I fall so deep
It´s just an insurance contract
Who´s catching me
In case who´s catching me
Who turns the other cheek
The Thunderstorm Comes Again
When she left my dream
I started to scream
And I woke up
Soaked in sweat
I began to look around
Nobody’s there
Where is she
I found myself
Upset in the rain
But I kept movin´
To feel the pain
Pain or love are the only things
That make me feel alive
She was here tonight
Wasn´t she here tonight
I can´t see that bright
Sure she was here tonight
My heart beats again
But the thunderstorm comes again
I was dreaming
Of a better world
Without me
I began to fly
No barriers left
I ended somewhere
I couldn’t define
I don´t mind
Somewhere
In the nowhere
I woke up again
Was it a proof or another
Chance I became
I burn the things
To make them grow
To make them grow
She was here tonight
Wasn´t she here tonight
I can´t see that bright
Sure she was here tonight
My heart beats again
But the thunderstorm comes again
No more liquor no more sweat
Won´t bother me
For now it´s a moment
Of reality
I can feel myself
My heart beats again
But the thunderstorm comes again
The Innocence is Calling Me Free
I´m sitting by myself
Not any longer
My voice is broken
I´ll take a rest
I prefer railroad tracks
Suppressing time
Steam strokes my skin
And tired folks
I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free
I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free
Giving up is weak
Pushing to the front
My whisper´s coming close
I may lose my words
You had been so brave
Not any longer
I had to take a lot
Since you´ve passed away
I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free
I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free
Sunlight reveals cobweb
Hanging from my bed
The spider´s not at home
I need to talk to you
The floor is flat and cold
My lips are turning blue
Stand up to move your blood
He´s never coming back
I´m coming down from hell but the innocence is calling me free
I´m burning like hell but the innocence is calling me free
Have you been tasting mud
Are you struggling hard
you´re hanging by a thread
My voice is coming back
Your Seat Has Turned Cold
I turned around the corner
Shaking hands with gloom
Spending some more money
On wine and cheap rooms
Not talking to cashiers
Fleeing from streets
Even dogs hang themselves
No election to win
If pain is on fire
And lakes start to freeze
Sweet chestnuts fall down
And people can´t breathe
Red wine gets swirled
The liver is shining bright
Sue´s wearing her dress
When the night starts to fall
I miss you at my table
Your seat has turned cold
I never tried to imagine
What I´ve been told
Lipstick on her shoulder
Some lipstick on her dress
On the road to nowhere
Stop to make a mess
I tell you baby
I have to go back down
Rebound like a windshield
Don´t to push you around
I turned around the corner
Shaking hands with gloom
Spending some more money
On wine and cheap rooms
Not talking to cashiers
Fleeing from streets
Even dogs hang themselves
No election to win
I miss you at my table
Your seat has turned cold
I never tried to imagine
What I´ve been told
