On the road again I always loved the shadows of the trees growin' on your land I rest upon your moss to gather strength to stand for what I am I once took you for a fatal love now you're my guidin' star above whenever I get off the road, you steer me on the road again... you took me places, moved my cases and you're harder than any rock I wrecked on you show me that the truth is everywhere and that every worn out shoe can be repaired to walk upon your ever magic land and on the road again... and to gather all the time it takes to love her up to the point she breaks you need the help of gods at first I was a little scared to ask her for her hand but as I did I was in the shadows of the trees that are growin' on your land and now I rest upon your moss to gather strength to stand for what I am I once took you for a fatal love now you're my guidin' star above whenever I get off the road , you steer me on the road again... Wonderful rainy day oh it's such a wonderful rainy day you and I, we're stayin' in bed oh it's such a wonderful rainy day you and I, we're stayin' in you and I once got lost slammin' the doors of our home we thought we needed two cars to find a better place under the sun but now all we pray for is rain it's such a wonderful rainy day... there were times many words on our tongues ended up in a very sad song, singin' it alone in a moonlight in a hopeless Jerusalem, but a sad song too's got an end it's such a wonderful rainy day... I would sing from the rooftops, about our love from the rooftops, but rooftops are dangerous on rainy days it's such a wonderful rainy day you and I, we're stayin' in bed it's such a wonderful rainy day you and I, we're stayin' in bed Blueprint the lilies came on saturdays and every lily brought a tear helpless lilies in a vase lilies at his feet, oh dear I talked to him and to myself I made a promise to be good from 8 years old to where we meet again live a life in gratitude my gratefulness followed the lilies and from every cross I ran I wasn't too much of a maker but today, today I know I stand on the home side of the fire the fat side of the land on top of mount desire on the blueprint of your plan almost 40 years, are gone and I'm not through with doin' wrong but all the extra time I get, the extra time you did not get, I'll show you zeal and backbone and loads of love on top of that I can see your picture on the wall but your voice I cannot hear at all the way you moved, I do ignore I would trade a million of my kisses for one of yours here on the homeside of the fire on the fat side of the land on top of mount desire on the blueprint of your plan... Without this girl I cannot win I keep an eye on the things you do I keep one eye open when you sleep I got a handful of breadcrumbs not to get lost in love so deep I was mountainhigh when I heard you say you just ran out of time to weep I threw myself into your river not to get lost in love so deep somebody locked me in, in a hollow tree, there is no lock and there's no key somebody locked her out of the world within without this girl I cannot win... without this girl I cannot win I talked to you over the phone and you lied that all the neighbours miss me I got no plan, nor promises to keep not to get lost in love so deep not to get lost in love so deep somebody locked me in Night Nurse Nice T-shirt Young lip Shot me with a winner Fluky luck of a beginner?

A house full of spirit, bravura and joy With your flower blooming there, a most beautious one It made the whole place look like a palace of warmth But there's a bloodstain In our eyes Yeah there's a bloodstain In our eyes He walked under Celine-high trees that cuddled the skies And thought of Anton Tsjechow's black monk He was too weak for your wonder, and marked by your vibes He carried is his ever trueness home From the most passionate outburst he ever witnessed in life Felt like leaving Las Vegas, broke and deprived From luck, love and happiness And your mysterious mind But there's a bloodstain In our eyes Yeah there's a bloodstain In our eyes But I do I don't know where, I don't know what, I don't know who, I don't know when, I don't know why You told me lies for truth And I wish that I were strong enough to leave you For the rest of my life I thought you held the truth I see you with a lot of men, you make 'm look like fools And I see you with some lonely women falling into ruin You walk in like an angel with a taste hard to refuse Too many of us want you when you sell 'm lies for truth But I don't wanna miss you baby Baby, baby miss you but I do I don't wanna miss you baby, Baby, baby miss you but I do You're pumping up the beat of my heart and than it goes blind We meet in every street in town I can feel you burning on my lips when you're upside down And I hate you and I love and I will never know why Do you want me? Do you want me to be your friend? Do you want me as a one-night stand? Do you want me as your third hand? Do you want me as your backdoorbaby? Do you want me on trial or maybe Do you want me forever and again? Looking for the answer, I'm afraid I lost my sensor Gotta tell me straight, may be in a t?te-?-t?te You wanna feel me naked, feel me sharpdressed, Feel my slowhand, feel my tutti frutti fast Can I drink, can I smoke, can I be a junkfree bloke? They say I never take it easy but that's a lie, I just take the escalator 'cause I'm elevator-shy, that's why I'm not a one-trick pony, I sing more than one canzone Not a wizard with my hands, but I can make you come and dance, Got a terrible fear of heights, I travel but I hate the flights I sleep in the daytime and in a coconut I put a lime Let me be your top lover, the fourth leaf on your clover, the Moses of your sea, a baroque life garantee, Don't know how to roll the dice, but I roll 'm I'm a fan of Bobs and of non violent bankrobs, Johnny Cash and I already had a moustache But I shaved it off, I do like flowers on tablecloth, I been in New York, Amsterdam and Brussels, All on the same day flying home for mussels Do you want me to be your friend? Do you want me as a one-night stand? Do you want me as your third hand? Do you want me as your backstagebaby? Do you want me as your don't-mean-maybe? Do you want me like candy on candy-may-day? I want that boy back I got a sixpack of angels wanting us to be one And a fifth full of rage that I should leave alone Got a small bag of something that's making me see More and in colours, wondrous ideas But the bird on the wire is whistling a tune I can hear it sing: 'My god what a fool!' I know the fool and I know the thinker, And that all of the signs lead to the headshrinker I want that boy back He ran out overnight I want that boy back Get me online Gotta talk to him now Love is a gift of the Gods for us all It's glowing inside us the minute we're born And love is right here, at my lips, at my feet, But I look the other way 'cause I believe it's only a dream I want that boy back He ran out overnight I want that boy back Get me online Gotta talk to him now Little Baby Lord I found a little, a little, a little little baby in my heart Lord I found a little, a little, a little little baby singing a song, in my heart Few people waltz on the moon, or round a tree in the Louvre, Or fly holding hands over the Amazone woods Few get to walk on a lake All that I know is that some people do never complain and never condemn nice and true, no need to offend I could not hear her sigh, oh well, maybe I could, but the tears that you cried were too dry One foot in the grave means there's one foot alive It gave me the power, the power so new To defy all the wonderful drugs Gods invented for us Now who's pure and simple? Who finds his own truth? Who's walking the dog to its favorite tree, without using a leash Who's God never renounces, destroys or excludes? Making love on a bed of roseleaves, who's fooling who? Silence tells it all I know the far out dead end streets There's a bed in every one Some were marvellous one night sleeps But then I woke up to get going I don't have to turn my head To see where I'm walking away from The old horizon drowns in rain The new one's burning in her sun Way from the world and in her arms, rests the cannonball Way from the world and in her arms, silence tells it all The wallpaper's hosting butterflies She's teaching me how How to wait the endless while That'll make the butterfly fly Way from the world and in her arms, rests the cannonball Way from the world and in her arms, silence tells it all Way from the world and in her arms Way from the world and in her arms Rests the cannonball....... ......Silence tells it all?Silence tells it all The road that swings Brother I can help you find a way through the day Brother can you handle all the words that you pray I can see the roadblocks There's a tune out on the juke-box and it doesn't rhyme It must be playing more than one tune at a time Some songs you never sing And some you sing for life There's a sign in every face that you're passing by You gotta read it through your pink shades, I don't lie, To find the road that swings Brother I can feel you were little surprised Brother when you noticed that your ceiling came down Dust in both your head and shoulders There's a tune out on the juke-box and it doesn't rhyme you must be playing more than one tune at a time You gotta make it home tell the black cat she'll have to go Yeah there's a map in every eye man, just take five You gotta read it like a mirror, it might tell you how To find the road that swings There's a hint in every tiding, wether truth or lie There's a good chance that it came to tell you how To find the road that swings There's a hint in every tiding, wether truth or lie There's a good chance that it came to tell you how To find the road that swings The Shell Overexposure to the light love, is not exactly what we need Everybody's hiding more than half of what a heart can read Born in love or born in hell, you gotta grow up someone worthy Of leaving the shell Once you're grown up, you grow down, just as fast as night and day While you find out you're going nowhere, you fall in love and out of love again And that's how you prepare, for the leaving shell You're done calling mama You may whisper, you may yell You're done calling mama You're disconnected from the shell Oh mother it was not your map on which I'm still trying to find my way And the one that you were painted on, God did not use his better hand I was your pearl, you were my shell, Now I'm running loose For as long as time will tell, time won't tell Woman ideas I was in the East Village while the hour went blue Waiting for a woman who was long overdue I saw her everywhere, but she never saw me I was in the Bowery and I saw her on the street Every other minute, in another body, Different walk and a different dress Different make-up, different past, Different looks behind sunglasses Send me your, send me your, send me your love And please ?bring me your woman ideas Little Italy and every sign told me I would kiss her on the mouth today Sittin' sippin' coffee in a Brooklyn bar Blue in the face, 'cause she kissed the wrong star Send me your, send me your, send me your love And please?bring me your woman ideas Wow wow wow Some girls they paint their toenails, Others paint your future black Some girls are fairy tales for ever And some will only wake you up Some girls they turn their back on you Or make you wait the longest while Some girls got arms wide open Like the mouth of the Nile Some girls look in your eyes Breathing that million puzzled why's Some girls need just one arrow To make you fully blind Make your heart go Wow Make your heart go Wow Wow wow wow Some girls they weed their garden So their flower grows in peace And some girls make your head spin Wish you were the oldest priest in Greece Some girls know how to lie Some sell the truth at cost But the truth is always moving Always trying to get lost Some girls don't care for baiting Some girls they fish without Other girls live on high heels Show you leg up to the sky Make your heart go wow Make your heart go wow Wow wow wow If all 'm women were alike They'd probably would be no fun at all If all the women were alike The woman that I truly love I'd hold her even better than I do And tell her baby, baby, babe it's you Who makes my heart go wow Make my heart go wow Wow wow wow I go now my love All the time it took to find you All the hours you stayed numb How I travelled far to free you Making wrong turns on and on How I worked with fingers bleeding How I learned to sing your song Come a day now I can feel you On the day that I must go I go now my love I go now my love I go now my love I go now my love There's a world out there that needs me In a world for everyone There's a girl out there that feels like I have left her whiles ago How I'd love to pet you both One on earth, one miles above I can not explain I've met you There's no good in doing so I go now my love I go now my love I go now my love I go now my love Wake myself up in the first light I'm so smart I see the fun In saving uncut souls For all my dearest ones I go now my love I go now my love I go now my love I go now my love .... Empty shoes Today I read the death notice of a fellow drum-musician. Died in a car-crash, what an ordinary way to go. He never had no trouble sendin' out a lot of friction, but everytime I saw him play, he was fightin' at the front. I GOT BAD NEWS, SAD NEWS, MAD NEWS NOW I GOT HIS WORN OUT EMPTY SHOES ON MY MIND We never played one song together 'bout the lone wolf in our minds. We only have a backstage-past, but I miss him, he don't know why. Friend of mine, a friend of his', one day walked into his house, and found him cryin', howlin', sittin' on the floor, cornered down. I didn't see it with my very eyes, but like one shot in a movie, he was shot into my mind: I'm in that corner now. I GOT BAD NEWS, SAD NEWS, MAD NEWS NOW I GOT HIS WORN OUT, EMPTY SHOES ON MY MIND We got our given name in common seems like an August name. He was born the 23rd, I was born the 24th. These dates and names don't mean a thing, they're just like inside jokes. I'm only lookin' for another angle to understand why I do mourn, over you. Over you, over you. I GOT BAD NEWS, SAD NEWS, MAD (3=WET) NEWS NOW x3 I GOT HIS WORN OUT EMPTY SHOES ON MY MIND x3 To heaven and back Well I figured I found us a perfect love-shack A surprise for my cute partywoman Except for the flies nobody could tell How we tirelessly worked up the honey Now home was a house with a plenty of rooms And a pool, and nobody in it A whole lot of bottles of expensive good wine And lobster for breakfast and dinner The people who lived there were not living there now We saw 'm leave in a camper, it was holidaytime No we were not invited, we invited ourselves For a week out in heaven and back To heaven and back I put on some music though I'm not a good dancer But the classics I judged to be good for romance We played the same albums again and again And we danced through the house in a trance Called a friend down in Paris to find out about the wine We were talking Chateau's and how Diana had died My girl dyed her hair black and I said : 'I don't know, Can I help you dying your triangle of love?' She called me a pervert but we did it alright And it stayed there a week with us hanging out Time came to clean up, put the furniture back The way it was when we'd walked in the shack We left a thank-you-note and some beautiful flowers We thought they belonged next to the bar And leaving some stains of some cum and some dye We drove back from heaven, in my dirty old car To heaven and back (x6)? Why I'm on the run There's an angel above me And he sees I'm on the run There's an angel in between me and the sun Is he coming down to lend a helping hand? Coming down to understand Why I'm on the run (x4) There's a fire beneath me I'm burning while I run I'm a man between the fire and the sun Is it toasting me and telling me that what I do is wrong? Tell me now, tell me why Why I'm on the run?(x4) Am I Johnny-come-lately? Am I Johnny-on-the-spot? Guess I've been behind the eightball Since the day I left my mum I don't wanna say Jack Robinson I don't wanna beat that gun Tell me why, Why I'm on the run.... Waiting 'round the corner I have never met that man. The one I'd rather be. It's not that I feel better than any of you, but still I wanna be me I have never met that girl. The one I'd rather love than the girl that I married, there's only one girl and I told you that before. Both our minds 'r full of blisters And we're utterly twisted And only one half of the damage is done Still we fight every blizzard That's trying to ruin our hope That the best years are waiting 'round the corner (x2) The best days are right around the corner Why do we need to go out of our minds every once in a while? It's becoming a habit Some kind of lifestyle Well your mind is your home It's got a hundred backdoors And a crowded dancefloor And too many chambers in a smelly corridor Where you lay all your demons to snore And then all of 'm corners Where you stacked up your past Some of it alive, and some of it dead But there's still room enough For you to do what you want For you to do what you like you can sit there and cry or you can cook a good meal there and comfort your bride you can do any other thing but hide chorus The loner Carver quotes Bukowski: 'you don't know what love is' And Carver may have thought that he was right I don't wanna talk too much about a dead man's poem But Charles just didn't love mankind Loved cats when sober, pussy when drunk, He sure knew about love, And how it showed up: In disguise, in disguise All of Charly's lovers Were at war with their own lies He was a loner, and if you can't read it in his lines He was a loner, then you were not meant to be my bride, He was a loner, that I know But I don't know if he was alright If Charles Bukowski was alright I really don't know if Buk was right, I don't believe Every word that I read or that I write, I feel like everybody's fooling me, so at times I also fool around I believe I truly love my woman, but how come we all live a life so full of doubt? Is that just a higher question, that you're not supposed to ask? Or am I just like Charles was, a pitiful poor ass Who looks for angels and for lust, In the everlasting dust I am a loner, and if you cannot read it in my eyes, That I'm a loner, then you were not meant to be my bride I'm a loner, that I know, But I don't know if I'm alright, Nobody knows, loner or not I am a loner and if you cannot read it in my lines That I'm a loner, then you were not meant to be my bride I am a loner, but still you wanna hang out on my isle I am a loner, even if I wanted, I couldn't throw him out I am a loner, Baby, I'm a loner, baby I'm a loner It's just my way of doing time Shadow dance Now all the guests are gone, it's getting cold I dress in tablecloth under the late night moon With all bottles empty, I'm empty too A shadow's dancing in this Belgian summernight While I'm standing still, I can see it dancing Like I never could or will, What did you go down under for? Shadow dance, shadow dance, Shadow, dewy-eyed or not. Shadow dance, shadow dance Shadow, on my trampled lawn There's a shadow on the gardenwall and Round the lifeline in the hand that builds a shelter When I try to light my handrolled cigarette, With Lucifer once more, I gaze at all the fugitives, I almost burn my nose, I gaze at all the fugitives shadowdancing on my lawn Shadow dance, shadow dance Shadow, dewy-eyed or not Shadow dance, shadow dance Shadow, on my trampled lawn Instrumental chorus The shadow dances Wild romance is coming home Candle Aid You lie next to your love And she tells you what she's thinking of But you are on the other side of the lake Your mind is one and hers is two Swimming in a dirty pool Seven candles burning on your cake Well anyone can make a mistake But the penalty's a romance in the grave You're driving south, she wanna go north Play with respect and you're always a fake While all you do is age The skin of your face becomes a pancake Well anyone can make a mistake But the penalty's a romance in the grave Sweetheart, There's seven candles burning on our cake Sweetheart, It's time we blew together And go for candle eight Candle-aid, candle-aid You got no shrink and you want no shrink You wanna forget about everything But the cotton is ready to fill up your face Two snowflakes in the summertime Can't survive unless they climb Well anyone can make a mistake (x2) But the penalty's a romance in the grave D minor no? Been watching TV all night Lotta faces talking to me Was in a boat on the canals of my hometown Young woman flirting with me Wrote a letter to an overseas friend Seems like there'll be no reply Some days you feel good Some days you feel bad Nothing much you can do about it Read a book in three languages Now some of the words are willing to stay Read a book in three languages Seemed like a journey to the end of the night Sit with my back towards the open window Listen to all the footsteps go by Chorus Played cards in an open country-caf? Two people watching over my shoulder Got a ticket for running a red light In the red-lightdistrict during the daytime Chorus You told me Nine out of ten needles make holes in people who are sane. Our minds are full of hungry beetles chewing on a worn out brain. In loneliness there's beauty they say in togetherness there's pain. Getting lost in both of them is a famous human game. Monday, tuesday, wednesday mother, Thursday, friday, saturday mother, Sunday mother, brings a night that calls me out You told me love's the remedy And mother you're probably right One muddy kiss should not kill love, but who can forget the taste? Love's the strongest legal drug, drawing lines in every face. Every time it comes my way, I wanna change the sound of it. Its rhythm and its meaning, overthrow its empty feeling Chorus Every drop of riverwater carries a failure to the sea We all wear shades to hide the looks of our waxing insanity We've broken every law that killed arousal of the brain And all it brought us was a "hold your jaw", and a selfconstructed jail Chorus Read the lines of a many true writers, read the lyrics of a lot of true songs Lived with the losers and the doing alrighters, held the keys of many keyholes I've undressed the whole dally town, looking for that one mudfree love I wasted a few and I created few lives and I even wrote a couple of psalms Chorus All today's words Now all today's words have fallen Just the way I feel Lined up like an undrilled army My eyes are burning, needing sleep Now all today's words have fallen Like angels on their way to hell Fighting a great deal of the bad side of my karma I kneel and thank 'm for their soothing help And the bad vibes are rolling out of my hands As I walk on my fingers throughout the dark land I'm healing, I feel it, I'm closing the gap Now all today's words have fallen On the last sundown of the century I strangled some troubles from the old times But there are still a lot of tangled tigers trying to get out of me, Crawling through the veins, uncomfortably Now all today's words have fallen More or less in a way that I wanted 'm to I'm listening to Shostakovich for maybe the sixth time in my life He's so good at eating blues, eating my blues And the bad vibes are rolling out of my mind As I walk on my fingers throughout the dark land I'm healing, I feel it, I'm closing the gap Now all today's words have fallen And the fireworks are blowing our minds Into a new century in which we'll all probably die, I go to bed with Mary-Jane, sleep through the bombing (x2) And the good vibes come rolling into my sight Like a midnight train throughout the dark land I'm healing, I feel it, I'm healing, I'm closing the gap Smoking the green grass of home While smoking the green green grass of home A faraway town throws me all the options in store Not one I could go for without burning my soul I've walked through that dissatisfying fire before Far away from the other man I have to be, at times Far away from the rules that rule over me, at times I feel closer to you than while walking hand in hand I study the map of my hopes spread out in my head There are so many men in me I could go to jail for killing myself, Nine times out of ten, There are so many girls in you but there's only a few I have met I have a few drinks to let the fun in, And then the few drinks too many that let the fun out And just like the king I go sleep in a heartbreak hotel Instrumental chorus While smoking the green green grass of home I'm in the middle of a lovesong I could never sing I think of the places I've been and the places I do not belong And for a second I dream that one day I could live on the sun While smoking the green green grass of home You defend all the values that I can fall back upon, upon arrival I will kiss you and tell you and hold you and pray I will never Leave any of you all Before the last of my seconds alive Instrumental chorus in the red river agonizin', anesthetizin', humanizin', harmonizin', fraternizin', the sun is risin' in the red riverred river all my new devils go broke nothin' wrong with bein' workfolk restin' in a very high tree little clouds, all singin' in : "in the red river", "in the red river", cuddle-ego's liein' jury's out of their seat all you gotta do is keep ahead of that beat try to get as near to fear as you can there will be a gate walk through the gate, like a man, that's where you're gonna meet and greet your God, inside of you he already was, in your red river be the right cook, in the right nook be the right cook, in the right nook write a chequebook for your red river he wants you to relax in your red river in and out of trouble runnin' in and out of trouble drop that heavy suitcase runnin' in, runnin' out, we all feel better when we travel light when trees around are goin' yellow and brown when some are tryin' to go naked be a seed of a flower in a green summergown, ready to make it a lot of trafic on the road to fame crossroadcrazy, goin' hazy I left the maker of the blame for a life pure as a daisy christmas without you I pull the trigger, turn away, I want no proof I killed a man but I'm told: "you did good."
