Daydreaming with a broken spine I am a traveling salesman I am selling things that no one needs I travel light, my only help are These worn out shoes and a grateful smile I am a tattooed sailor A wind has carved deep lines in my face I am tired of whores and I am tired of harbors I am tired of a million different shades of blue I am a race driver Gasoline soaked asphalt, adrenalin and noise A picture of my mom hanging sheets and singing Goes through my head each time I face death I am a coal miner I am digging in the dark covered in the dust Shovel in my hands, anger in my heart Everyday again I am blinded by the sun I am a private eye Professional indifference, soul full of scars I am swimming in a sea of emptiness and pain Bottle in my desk helps me fall asleep I am a trapeze artist I am dancing high above the ground I am dancing high above the lights Above the words, above the sounds On and on this life goes...

We Are Snowflakes We are talking, we are playing games We are dancing, we are having sex We are smiling with the morning sun We are dreaming of tomorrow We are driving high We are kissing, we are holding hands We are swimming, we are riding waves We are lying naked in the sand We are listening to the wind We are counting stars Is it all over we are wondering staring at the sky Is it all over when we die We are fighting, we are ripping clothes We are swearing, we are losing voice We are wishing we are somewhere else We are looking at the mirror We are going mad We are drowning, we are sinking down We are crying, we are freaking out We are trying to find a reason why We are drinking from the bottle We are doing drugs Is it all over we are wondering staring at the sky Is it all over when we die

Sweet Jesus 04:30
Sweet Jesus And Jesus, sweet Jesus his body burns like fire And Jesus, sweet Jesus just could not understand it Those moments of blindness, of raging pain and madness And tears are like diamonds hidden deep inside him Lay me down, lay me down where only you can find me Lay me down, lay me down where only you can find me And Jesus, sweet Jesus his body soft like water And Jesus, sweet Jesus just could not understand it Those moments of blindness, of raging pain and madness And tears are like diamonds hidden deep inside him Lay me down. lay me down where only you can find me Lay me down, lay me down where only you can find me

Fat And Neurotic She dreams of a big love, kind of love that never dies or fades away I am a whale, I am swimming slowly through my universe of blue Alone with her as I am with anyone else Each time I've tried to tell her same strange silence would take place yeah Each time I've tried to tell her she would cry and hide her face Music on the radio, cigarette smoke, horizons passing by One of those moments when I wish that I was on the outside You smiled, you seem happy. I said nothing at all Each time I've tried to tell her same strange silence would take place yeah Each time I've tried to tell her she would cry and hide her face God has an ulcer since that time they killed his son I see him sometimes sitting on the park bench , staring empty, wondering forever I hope he finds reason, strength to forget and forgive Each time I've tried to tell her same strange silence would take place Each time I've tried to tell her she would cry and hide her face My love lives in Texas, yellow roses, cigarettes and sun I walk through the suburbs, numb completely numb They say that good people die with a smile on their face Each time I've tried to tell her same strange silence would take place Each time I've tried to tell her she would cry and hide her face Because love means nothing, love means nothing at all...

Lilly 04:24
Lilly She's sitting at the desk, she's talking on the phone She's standing in a line, she's eating all alone She's chatting on the net, she's waiting to go home She's lying on a bed, she's staring at the wall She's thinking to herself... There must be something more She's driving in a car, she's shopping at the mall She's climbing up the stairs, she's taking off her clothes She's soaking in a bath, she's sipping rum and coke She's lying on a bed, she's staring at the wall She's thinking to herself... There must be something more She's picking out a dress, she's making up her eyes She's walking down the street, she's drinking at the club, She's dancing on the floor, she's fucking with a guy She's lying on a bed, she's staring at the wall She's thinking to herself... I'm so fucking bored!!!

John Wayne 03:32
John Wayne I am driving slowly in my silver car The night is full of stars High heel boots, tons of grease in my hair My eyes endlessly blue I smoke too much there is nothing else to do I eat so little, I never sleep I always drink alone The moon, the sun, days and nights Time is slowly passing I run in circle, I don't mind The bills I make someone else pays Everybody knows my name Things I say, things I do No one gets inside of shell My own heaven, my own hell I hate to talk about good old days I hate to talk at all Words so useless, so untrue My eyes endlessly blue I smoke too much there is nothing else to do

Sunday 04:55
Sunday I am sleeping cause I am lonely, I am eating cause i am bored I am talking cause I am empty, I am laughing cause I am scared I am running cause I am restless, I am drinking cause I am tired I am working cause I am worried, I am dreaming cause I am lost Runaway... You told me that you love me, you told me that you're mine, all mine You told me that you missed me, It scares me every time And oh, Lord you know I tried, you know I did, nothing's ever going to change Wherever I go, whatever I do, one thing remains the same Runaway... Bleeding hands of Christ, the perfect symmetry of pain, endless golden sunset. warm watercolor dream Vivid scenes of madness, fading city lights, is it spring or is it autumn, you are so pretty when you are shy Beggars in the subway, the sound of falling rain, broken concrete sidewalks, violent billboard smiles Cigarettes and glitter, walking without words, desolate, indifferent, mesmerized, surreal... I am everything...

To My Dead Love Purple lips, flowers dancing in the wind Senseless thoughts, a taste of liquor in my mouth Ocean waves crushing slowly to a shore A glimpse of the eternal truth Morning mist, all things beautiful and bright A naked child running barefoot through the fields Ringing bells, god is passed out on the floor Distant mountains appear blue Neon lights, fast food restaurants, loud drunks Empty eyes, broken promises, white lines Crying man is holding picture in his hands I miss the role I played for you
