To The Whales

If you dive to the water
And swim to the ocean
Maybe you meet a whale
Maybe you meet a whale
If you go to the jungle
And climb to a tree top
You look to stars and you wan't to try
But at the same time disappear
All you've really left around is here
And oh, it's cold
And oh, he's old
But he never ever let's it show
And oh, it's cold
And oh, he's old
The garden is thick and smooth is the lawn
Every spike and leaf and the final straw
Looking at a photograph
Time will fly that's a matter of fact
You got your hold and your arms are strong
But at the same time you slip away
All you really got at home is fear
And oh, it's cold
And oh, he's old
But he never ever let's it show
And oh, it's cold
And oh, he's old
Sometimes you see a friend
In someone you don't know
You share a connection
You are the same soul
And when a whale is crying
The tears will vanish into the sea
And that's what I am thinking
When I think about you and me
And oh, it's cold
And oh, he's old
But he never ever let's it show
oh, it's cold
And oh, he's old
Does he know about CO2?
Does he know that I'm thinking about you?
Does he know about CO2?
Does he know that I'm thinking about you?
That's all I do

Never Alone
04:03
|

|
As I look at the magpies and crows
Jumping on buildings, having such a blast
Can't help myself feeling utterly lonely
By myself and rigorously alone
How much fun can one bird have in 17 years?
Hello humans, I'm up here watching
In control and supervising the big plan
I can't return to all your questions
But I can see you're doing all just fine
I'm never alone...
No, I could not sell the house
Tried so hard to get out of town
I can't fix no leaking roof
Do you think that I've got something to prove?
How much mortgage can one guy have in 17 years?
Hello humans, it's me, I'm leaving
Take my stuff and jump into that bus
You can read about my great adventures
Or you can just sit down and watch the news
Oh, and the truth?
I'm never alone...

Let The Angels Play
05:46

I know, it's not a perfect world
But it's a wonderful world
I know, it's not a perfect life
But it's mine
I was put on the land of Buddha
To see if I could eat without a knife
Exposed to the beauty of the orchids
In the garden built for kings
If I would only bring you sunshine
Then you would never touch the tenderness of rain
And may the flowers bloom
And the orchids grow
Let the angels play
And may the good always win
And the ice cream melt
Let the angels play
I know it's not the perfect time
But if we'd have no time at all
I would try to set the record straight
Just a few things before it's too late
If you can only give me friendship
I would be thankful
And I wouldn't cry
And may the flowers bloom
And the orchids grow
Let the angels play
And may the good always win
And the ice cream melt
Let the angels play
Underneath the desert sky
We're married, with the sand we lie
When the angels play
Let the angels play
Sometimes the heights we aim are too far to reach
And somethings just are not meant to be
Give me those tired eyes and let go with me
Take a change, a circumstance to see
To believe
And may the flowers bloom...
Wash away the ocean tide
Forgotten in the depths of time
When the angels play
Let the angels play
Stand before the endless rise
We're children in the natures eyes
When the angels play
Let the angels play
There is no decline of man...
There is no heathen lies...

Another Life
05:20

Got your life in a suitcase
Accompanied by clowns and ghosts
Let's check on the pilot
That metering is looking odd
You're the king of your home land
When reality is creeping in
And the day fell into the night
Take your chances into another life
The time
Is running for your heart and for your mind
The night
This time you will leave it all behind
This life
And you know
What you steal
This loneliness is real
You've got to live it faster
I'm making the big scene
Taken into this new reality
Where everything is different
I know that you just don't believe in me
You're chasing the big dream
But that something just won't let you win
And the water turns into wine
Leave your friends and join in another life
The time
Is running for your heart and for your mind
The night
This time you will leave it all behind
This life
And you know
What you steal
These moments can get too real
You've got to live it faster
Put on your pretty dress
We´ll drive into the city
I'll take you everywhere
Tell you everything that you wanna hear
Tonight
I won't leave you tonight
I'll be there tonight
I won't let you down
The time
Is running for your heart and for your mind
The night
Changes are you'll never make it back
Alive
And you know
What you feel
These moments can get too real
You've got to live it faster
The time
Is running for your heart and for your mind...
Just take the dive and you will learn to swim
Inside
And you know
What you feel
These moments can get too real
You've got to live it faster

Guilty
02:20
|

How I used to hate you
For you don't deserve my hate
How used to say bad things about you
Inside my head
I've red the books
I've found the truth
I know what's wrong between me and you
And I'm guilty
I'm guilty as charged
Oh yes I'm guilty
Guilty as charged
How I used to push needles into dolls
As I craved for refund for all the wrongs
Now that time has passed and the air has cleared
One thing still remains and it sums up my fears
That I've might have been wrong about you
I've red the books
I've found the truth
I know what's wrong between me and you
And I'm guilty
Guilty as charged
Oh yes I'm guilty
For loving you
Guilty for loving you

Closed Eyed Seeing
05:21
|

You know, when lovers stare each other
You lose the day, the place, the hour
It's like forever in a brief time lapse instead
It can slip through fingers and fall on to the set
With time
Glancing with our eyes, they're meeting
Dancing on our dreams believing
There is still a one more day to go
Morning comes with magic healing
When you quiet, closed eyed seeing
Evening singers, all miracles away
Away
You know when lovers stare each other
And the room turns quiet as everybody knows
Another miracle and time won't let you forget
It's a miracle and there's nothing left to save
But time
Just time
If we knew our time was counting
I see you, I want, I'm waiting
You can wait forever, I heard you say
Comfort, touch, hold, love, forever
Through with life and still together
Secure and close like never letting go
Never letting go
Don't cry baby for it's too late now
Remember life isn't just about how
Much you want or how you're keen to keep
There is life on the other side too
Maybe someone who just might miss you
Dancing mist on a timeless sealing
I see you, I'm closed eyed seeing
As stars and moon they smile and look away
Holding near and soft, tear, whisper
Touch of grace and space bent for us
So we may forever lying still
And closed eyed seeing
As we knew our time was counting
Grains of sand, away and falling
Drew your name for waves to wash away
Are you closed eyed seeing me?

Christmas On a UFO
07:01
|

How I missed her so
Spent my Christmas on a UFO
As the girl from Dallas said hello
Took me down through a black hole
Shipping coke from Managua
Heading home for Christmas
I had my gun
And a pair of scissors in my bag
As a prisoner in Nicaragua
Between laundry shifts and counting bricks
You don't need a bath in heaven
You don't have to go to parties
I used to think the whole wide world would turn and see
All the truth and what has happened to me
But things rarely go the way that you plan
You realise it as the shit hits the fan
Well I think I've done everything I can
I don't need to be everybody's man
Considering all the crap you have to take
For the very little difference that you're ever gonna make
Christmas on a UFO...
I know it must be hard for you to understand
All the struggle and trouble of being a man
But what I've done ain't none of your business
I'm just trying to get through another Christmas
Just trying to be who I am
Live off the fat of the land
Christmas on a UFO...
Take the money from the safe
Take the children and change your name
And all they ever find
Is the monkey and the clown inside
And for the very last time
Can I please take what once was mine
Would you please put the lights back on
For it's a Christmas on a UFO
