1. SOFT DOGS

Wrong words
Out of confusion
Yeah, I risk losing
The flesh you wear so well
Lost words
Eating away with no patience
Noone mentions
Our hearts like a small machine
Giving
And finding the place where your soul is
It's just that I know this
It's near the wound, it's near the pain
Listen
To the warm red water
Making me smaller
And soft as tears, soft as rain

I'm finally on my knees
The stupid pride recedes
Baby, I'm all ears
Finally
I hear every word you're sayin'
Baby, I'm a soft dog at your feet

Wrong turns
Maybe I ordered
But, you followed
Me straight to hell
And wild words
Like I know what I'm doing
Like I know who I'm using
I can never tell
Changes
The kiss of life that I'm giving
I've been afraid for no reason
Again this feels like home

I'm finally

Yeah, it's nothing but spoken words
But, it's the words that hurts
And some will never be said again
Mistakes, we'll quickly forget it
The one false line, I really regret it
Because the original scratch remains


2. WHAT'S THE MATTER

Your heart's been fired
Your blood is tired
Oh, your mind's a riot
And you need a bed
You're emptyminded
Yeah, you're way behind it
Yeah, you've been blinded
You're a silhouette
And yeah you've changed
And most of your friends
Yeah, believe you're strange
Cuz, you can't forget
You wonder how rotten
Your love live's gotten
Cuz, all of a sudden
Something's wrong
What's the matter?
The blues got ya!

Yeah, what's the matter?
You're looking sadder
What happens after?
The blues got you
I thought you had her
Now, where's your laughter?
Yeah, what's the matter?
The blues got you!

Maybe you wanted to dumb her
But, in the midst of your slumber
Uh, you lost the number
Of the place you love the most
Now you look in all places
Among familiar faces
But, you run out of traces
Yeah, you run out of road
So, you're standing still
With more than time to kill
You gotta wait untill
A new way shows
You see how it changed you
How it slowly estranged you
Solely arranged you
Right into a ghost

Yeah, what's the matter?
You're lookin' sadder
What happens after?
The blues got you
I thought you had her
Now, where's your laughter?
Yeah, what's the matter?
The blues got ya'

Your heart is fired
Your blood is tired
And your mind's a riot
Hey, you need a bed
Hm, you're emptyminded
Hey, you're way behind it
Hey, you've been blinded
Yeah, you're a silhouette
Yeah, what's the matter?


3. THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU

Yeah, the thruth is
Over and over I know
Slower and slower things grow
It might not be pretty I know
But, the change is happening slow
You've found a pitifull tongue
Yeah, it translates what you've become
Worse than crazy you're dumb!

So, I say see ya
I wouldn't wanna be ya'
Everything is clearer
The truth about you
You got noone to lie to
Noone there to cry to
I just want to say goodbye to
The truth about you

The truth is
Love arrives and it dies
Old darknesses, childhood lies
We all got our own disguise
I just wish you'd be more of a surprise
Until I'm gone and all grown
I'll always want someone to own
But, with you I just want to be alone

I don't mind the coming down
It's the way it's got to be
I only hope I'm left inside


4. GOLDEN WAY

Wonder when the sun will set today
People don't care either way
Some are lookin' for work
Or slaving away
Another golden autumn day
See the fallen leaves are dollar bills
And everyone's a millionaire

I will keep away from morning's grey
A private sun is shining down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
A golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers

Golden way
Golden nights
And days

We look in all places
Where it might be near
Make the noise
It likes to hear
The part that doesn't age
Drifting back to childhood ways

I will keep away from the morning's grey
A private sun smiles down all day
Of all the golden mornings
This one's so much better
The golden dream is talking
Making friends with strangers
Of all the golden mornings
Spelled with golden letters
Upon a gold arrival
Golden dreams for strangers

Golden way
Golden nights
And days


5. SO WHAT?

I was jealous of the photographs
Taken before you met me
In the sun and with someone
Happy on a strange beach
Don't think I wanna pull you down
Or hold you so you can't move
You know all that keeps me here
Is what glows around you

So what if we've seen each other naked
So what if you've thrown that glass right at my head
And what if a bomb is ticking under our bed
If it's all for love
Yeah, if it's all for love

Just give me last night's dreams
I'll make it work for tomorrow
Yeah, with all the truth we've seen
I'm wondering what it's all for
Can't make my fears go away
Lookin' for rules and signs
What we have; we got to believe
Believe it everytime


6. BETWEEN YOU & ME

Yeah, I left my past
I hitchhiked away from bad times
Now I try to get used to
The freedom to speak what's on my mind
When it turn to tears I wonder why
The dreams were under my pillow
But, there are no answers
Yeah, love is a riddle

Yeah, so many times
When I complain about life
I'm unsatisfied
I guess it's not about the car that I drive
Or the house I can't buy
It's dry tears that I cry
I know that all I need is
That it's easy and free
Between you and me

Yeah, tear down my littlewall
And drag me away from old trouble
I feel there's a hand now
That keeps me from gettin' too close today

Yeah, so many times


7. OUT THERE

Sometimes in my parents house
In which I came to exist
The alert like look in their eyes
Still nothing was said
Yeah, the big and scary unknown
I didn't dare, even guess
Some day calls out for me to be alone
To fly where the other days has flown
Outthere, outthere
To find a thought that wasn't thought upon
To go where the other days has gone
Outthere, outthere
Outthere, outthere

When everyone agrees with you
But, you know you're wrong
When everyone embraces you
But, you know you don't belong
Still feel the shadow behind
Even when the sun is gone
Some day calls out for me

Yeah, I look in the mirror
Yeah, I look in the mirror
But, the mirror is bare
I look for my mouth
But, my mouth isn't there!
I go to the window
I want to shout
But, below my nose
Nothing comes out
I'll never ever whistle
And there's noone to kiss
What I'll eventually say
Noone will miss


8. IT CHANGES EVERYTHING

Enter the dreamhouse
Leave your history at the door
This place is for heroes
Like it's never been before
Don't guess a future
You don't know how or where it'll end
Senseless 'n' needless
Maybe we'll learn to sleep again

It changes everyhting
But in the wrong direction
It changes everything
And what we turn into
Love conquers all
But evil won today
It changes everything
It changes everything

The world's falling to pieces
A sound so loud; it fades out slow
I've got nowhere to take you
Maybe except where I might go
The sky will be full now
Of money talking bombs
Carving their headlines
Just before the next one comes

It changes everything

Like birds that aren't in cages
They fly about on wings
Keep you awake forever
A dream that's constantly steady

It changes everything


9. UN FRAPPE SUR LA TÊTE

Lying low now yeah, for a year or two
And I mean it untill the week is through
Just myself now and the stains to be explained
Phone and cancel stay in and be a saint
But, a whistle and I'm like a dog again
Celebrating yeah, it's great to stay up late

One kick in the head
I was asking for it
Une frappe sur la tête
I've been begging for it
Yeah, a slap in the face
Yeah, famous last words

Every nightmare turns out to be the same
Through the forest I'm howling out my name

In my bedroom the dogs won't catch the fox
I've got business a bit more than I thought
But, I ain't talking I don't know what it's about
I hold my hand out yeah I'm such a naughty boy

One kick in

Everybody should know about my curse
But, I say talking, will only make it worse
Keep me quiet whispers in my mouth
Come and watch me! Like cats around a mouse
I need a punchline to bring the house down
All my old one will make you cry n turn around

One kick in


10. BLUE ALL OVER

Walking through the city
Without eying anyone
Don't want their vibes through my skin
The hair on my back rises
Silently it wins
Now, I'm feeling everything
Yeah, it's funny how the pain goes away
But, it's comin' back another day
Yeah, it's slowly creepin' up
See, I haven't felt a thing within
Then wake up in this mood again
All the new ideas are gone

Is it true. I'm blue all over
From pointing at myself
Is it true now that it's over
I should have checked myself instead
Checked myself instead

Yeah, with this journey
From my room out through the door
Down the stairs into the street
Forgotten is forgotten
Everything's returned
And someone is forgetting me


11. HEY LITTLE AIRPLANE

Can you ask a big jet to listen
Wave goodbye to the cares of the day
A million mirrors turning their heads now
Lose the ground; we're up and away
A secret bag for passports and cash
A bottle of aspirin to chew in the crash
A lift into the silence above
It's allright, let's fly!

Hey little airplane!
Do you know where you're going to take me?
Hey little airplane!
You know you're always getting it your way!

Balanced on the tip of the mountain
Unknown people all around
Don't uou think that we've been up for too long?
Still, I'll never want to come down
But, it's all a false solution
Back to rags and revolution
One place is as bad as another
Oh, man. We're gonna land!

Hey, little airplane
Do you know where you're going to take me?
Hey, little airplane
Do you know you're always gettin' it your way!
Hey, little airplane
Do you know where you're gonna take me?

Above the clouds
It's a beautyful day forever
Above the clouds
The day will last forever

Hey, little airplane


12. HUMAN KIND

When I close my eyes
Strange things begin
It's hard to follow
It's hard to win
With a stretch of purple
Like I'm in a daze
A weakened signal
On it's way
I see familiar clouds go by
I'm underneath a ceiling sky

Yeah, I'm falling in love with all humankind
If you love me now I won't change my mind
Yeah, I'm falling in love with all humankind
There's noone to blame the fault is mine
The fault is mine

Yeah, a shock of horror
When the way is clear
My best days
Is when I shake with fear
When my risks are those
I hardly dare to take
I need courage
To stay awake
