Where are you heading?
01:54
|

walking down the street
I can't help but think
I am the happiest man alive
seeing faces like shell craters
wrecked hope in front
of the coffee machine
sleepily pouring coffee down
her throat to get along, to move on
where are you heading?
did you ever ask yourself
instead of asking
those who don't have time to think?
walking down the street
I feel like an island in the
ocean of despair
I'm getting submerged, I'm sinking
I surface and I look
into eyes that look so empty
they avoid my gaze
when i want to stop and ask them
where are you heading?
did you ever ask yourself
instead of asking
those who don't have time to think?

I spread disease
01:05

tell your beads
ask me to swallow them like pills
im not ill
its not my kind of medicine
not my kind of medicine
carry your cross
untill you puke your soul up and
go to hell
you and your friends,
i'm not going there
ain't going anywhere
tell your wish
and find me dead
and find me dead
under your christmass tree
you hate to breathe the same air with me
I spread disease
you hate to breathe the same air with me
I spread disease

stars never shone so bright
it is the warmest night,
the warmest night in ages
my empty pockets don't
make me feel I'm empty
need no clock to know
when and where to go
too many sad songs
left my throat and reached
ears of far too many sad people
it's sad they liked them
it's sad I know so few happy ones
time flows through the beds
of my vains, I feel it
need no clock to know
when and where to go
too many sad songs
left my throat and reached
ears of far too many sad people
it's sad they liked them
it's sad I know so few happy ones

Inefficient
02:14
|

I am incompetent,
I’m inefficient, lacking in ability
Not good at elbowing
my way through crowds,
I'd trather stay in bed and sleep
I’m irresponsible,
I change my mind too often
to sign up with you
I am at war with clocks, I'm always late,
sometimes I don't appear at all
I can produce no useful thing,
I only play, I only sing
all movies give me hangover,
leave me with a sense of wasted time
like all the jobs I had gave me hangover,
made me feel like getting drunk
hate universities, most of the time
I unlearn what I learned at school
I cannot force myself to
play their game,
the game I am sure I'm bound to lose
I can produce no useful thing,
I only play, I only sing
I can produce no useful thing,
I only play, I only drink

Small Talk
02:11
|

I met you on the steet and asked
you how things were going in your life
everything is fine you work and
have a nice new girlfriend her name is ann
at weekends you go party get drunk
and dance all night you sleep where you fall
and virtually nothing has changed
since we met last time five years ago
and me? I'm fine, I'm just fine,
never been good at small talk, but I try
the weather's nice, and what else can I say,
not to spoil your day?
I met you in the subway, we were
going same way, what a coincidence
you said I didn't change a bit
and I bit my tongue not to tell you you did
time was going by so slowly, I was counting stops
you said you love travelling by subway
cause you're everywhere on time
and me? I'm fine, I'm just fine,
broke as always and days just pass me by
I fell in love, it felt like I fell down stairs
blindfolded, headfirst

No Man's Land
02:19
|
|||
I'm gone, didn't leave any message
and didn't take my phone
I'm gone and will never be back
I ain't coming home
I'm gone and though you see me sleeping
curled up in my bed
I'm not the person you had known
long before I left
I went to the no man's land in my bed
I'm gone, didn't leave any message
cause you wouldn't care to read it
even if you would
you couldn't understand
crowded streets won't swollow me
and spit my bones out by your feet
I won't love and won't expect anybody to love me
don't wake me up I went to sleep
I went to the no man's land in my bed

Days Been Cold
02:46
|

it doesn't make any sense
it doesn't make sense to me at all
though I do my best
try as I may, can't understand it
was it long ago?
was it at the hour of my birth
that sky cracked open and
cold rain fell down on my head
since then
Days been cold
days been cold
the weatherman kept lying on and on
about the coming of spring
I couldn't stand his stupid jokes
I threw my TV
off the balcony and drank my tea
never felt so good before
I killed the weatherman
now despair will bring you outside
your coffin houses, coffee bars and and your cars
the promise of sunny days is my curse
I don’t want to hear you make
promises you can't fulfil
the temperature will rise
God will bring greenhouse effect to us
And we will dance
in pools of tears as sweet as lies
death will reach out his suntanned hand to us
we will shake it with a sentimental smile
Days been cold
