THIS WORLD
I shall never get out of here alive!
This world

RUMOURS
If the microwave radiation emitted by the mobiles
is capable to modify the proteins in the egg
imagine what it can do with the proteins in our brains
when we talk through the mobiles.
Have you heard? Have you heard?
Mobile phone signals cook popcorn
Have you heard?
Mobile phone signals cook popcorn
4.000 Jews who worked at the twin towers called in sick on 9/11
Have you heard all those internet hoaxes e mail rumours and urban legends?
wow!
I have heard the last selection of false internet rumours that threaten to take hold as received wisdom
Don't be scammed
As rolling fictions grow in strength and size *
Don't be scammed
Rumours are like matter, they can't be destroyed **
Now listen to this
Have you heard all those internet hoaxes e mail rumours and urban legends?
wow!
I have heard a rumour from God saying assemble and come against them and rise up to the battle***
Stuff your ears with rumours!
Tell me tell me
did you believe the hoax?
Tell me tell me
why must we be so dumb?
You shall hear of wars of wars and rumours of wars***
Tell me tell me
Stuff your ears with rumours!
Rumours
Stuff your ears with rumours!

SO LONG / BLANK GUN
So long June
I thought I'd find another name for you
So long June
hey
Are you leaving?
right
ok
I´ll be here
sure
bye
So long, so long...
Yeah
My name's a number
My mind's a crash
I took a lot of pain meds
I took a lot of drugs
What a heartbreaker
What a killer liar
It never hurt so much
never hurt so bad
That´s how the story goes
Yeah
Why not?
Why not?
Why not her ?
Maybe if she likes to stay
we'll get another chance
we can kill each other
or have another child
Watch it now
Woman lay me down
I heard another lie
I think I spent too much time
with that red haired woman
Woman
Now I got a new place
I call it home
It´s under my name
It is my hole
All I wanna say
Take another slice
Pick up another number
Follow another sign
It´s just another break up story
Just another strange time
Maybe not the same way
Maybe not the same lies

SECONDHAND LIFETIME
I've been down so long I don´t ´t recall being up before
I´m stuck inside a suicide crisis
I know I´ll never count
no I´ll never count
I
have
come
to
that
fatal
crossroads
I just feel so down
I´ll never count
I´ll never count
I'm in a permanent suicide crisis
Oh well
I´ll never count
no I´ll never count
I´ll never ever let you down
some say
Wait till you make your song
then you get a second go
I have been so down
I´ll never count
I´ll never count
Though every road has a turning
I feel I´ll never count no I´ll never count
I´ll never ever let you down some say
I no longer want to live in this world
I got no idea where I need to go
Anywhere is better than this life
I now have it all planned out
At last you made your song of hope
Pray your song
Time runs on
Heavenly grace arrives
I´ll never ever let you down
some say

PANTOPHRENIA
These pantophrenic days
are much too rich
they mean much more than I can take
Wonder if this head will keep its strength
These are times I can't control
I play
Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Am I out of place?
Should I stop?
Should I hate?
Should I still have faith?
I'm pantophrenic
I don´t really care
This is not dissociative identity disorder
This is not schizophrenia and I´m not suffering from identity-loss
I´m just living my life enjoying all those different me's
I'm devil and angel and I´m free to be anyone I need
Watch him
Passions afflict his soul
Watch me
switching from genius to fool
Maybe
it´s about chemical equilibrium
Maybe
It's in the beating of my pulse
I call it freedom
These pantophrenic days

JASMINE FLOWER
Mo Li Hua
A beautiful jasmine flower
Precious blossoms fill the branch
Fragrant and white for everyone's delight
Let me come and pick a blossom
to give to someone
Jasmine flower
Oh jasmine flower*
Yeah!
Maybe someone should say
that a jasmine revolution should come
to the People's Republic of China
You can`t find jasmine flowers in China
Can't even write the word jasmine in China **
For deep fear of revolution
if you're caught with one in your hand
Public Security will arrest you
and you'll be charged with inciting subversion
Yeah
C'mon good people
say Mo Li Hua!
Mo Li Hua!
A beautiful jasmine flower
Precious blossoms fill the branch
Fragrant and white for everyone's delight
Let me come and pick a blossom
to give to someone
Jasmine flower
Oh jasmine flower
Ah! Jasmine flower
Hey!
Don´t get caught with a jasmine flower in China
Mo Li Hua!
Can´t even write the word jasmine in China
Mo Li Hua!
* Verses from Jasmine flower (Mo Li Hua), the traditional chinese folk song
**Jasmine flowers were used as a symbol during the 2011 Chinese pro-democratic protests

ANGEL HUMMINGBIRD
How have we come so far living such a hopeless life
Dreaming of fair-haired angels
Waiting for better times
Riding dark horses blindfolded past the dying sun
Watching out for any rising hope
Trusting in the Holy Ghost
You had your killing licence
I was bleeding in pain
What the hell If I cant´get an answer
I swear it´s gonna drive me insane
I had enough
Lift your eyes lift your eyes
You gotta tell me there's still hope
Roll me down and lay me down
Love me till the day I die
Why not climbing up the Eiffel Tower?
Take an angel hummingbird and ride it high across the sky
I had enough
Kiss you in your late night eyes
I will kiss you
Ah! Yes I want you so
Kiss you in your late night eyes
I will kiss you
Ah! Yes I want you so
Kiss you in your late night eyes
I will
kiss you
ah!
kiss you
Corsica, Sardinia and the isle of Elba with you
on the boat
With you in the sun
In the sun
I will kiss you in your late night eyes
I will kiss you
I will kiss you
Ah! Yes I want you so!

The passion for destruction is a creative passion too

The passion for destruction is a creative passion too

WAITING
Shh…
Have you seen Godot?
He should be here
All the dead voices make a noise like wings
Rather they whisper
they rustle
they murmur
what do they say?*
I've been waiting for so long my friend
It´s alright
I can wait
Waiting waiting waiting
If only we could knock them down
Yeah
If only we could knock them down
What are you waiting for?
Not telling you
What are you waiting for?
Waiting for Godot
What are you waiting for?
Sing something man!
C'mon!
What are you waiting for?
Waiting for Godot
Ah you know
Waiting for Godot
Ok
tell me about Godot
What about him?
Waiting for Godot
We hardly know him
Waiting for Godot
He should be here
What are you waiting for?
We're in no hurry
Waiting for Godot
On our hands and knees
Waiting for Godot
No use struggling
What are you waiting for?
You won´t regret it
Waiting for Godot
while waiting for Godot
He should be here
yeah!
Alright!
You keep waiting for Godot!
Waiting waiting waiting
I made up my mind to do nothing
it´s safer
much safer
It´s safer
much safer
