Lyrics

1. MORNING OVER MOROCCO

Until you believe in me?
Before the morning light, before the crack of dawn.
In the deepest darkest hour of night, we heard the prophets song.
And in between her thighs, oh I believe,
in Allah's breath of life in you,
and madness weight on me.
Feels like we touched only yesterday.
Holy Moses what sensuality!

Place your bets now for a different world,
going down, down, down?
Help me start up this different world,
going, down, down, down?
Until you believe in me

A moment of peace, her drum just missed a beat.
Maybe we were meant to be, our time was besharit.
And the passion in her eyes, oh please believe,
wherever fear of life may turn,
it's deep inside we burn.
Feels like we touched only yesterday.
Holy Moses what sensuality!

Place your bets now for a different world,
going down, down, down?
Help me start up this different world,
going, down, down, down?
Until you believe in me


2. LINT

Awake inside my dream, come along prepare to fight.
If you do well on casting spells, be my sorceress
all night (That's quite al right).

Welcome to my war, tell me what I'm fighting for,
if every nun could be a whore, I knew that all before?

I met you and the words you carried called to me
and opened up my eyes.
And I realised our seasons follow lint like downfall
follows lies (ain't no surprise).

Cause we got one time to see, which never bothered me,
we got one life to live, and that's enough for me.
Ooh something weird about the moonlight,
made me sing Allah' akbar
People bowed and prayed on the streets
from dawn to night, insh' Allah?


3. METHOD OF MADNESS

Look at me, this is my method of madness
Working hard on the scenery, trying to do what you did to me.
I should know, I've been apart of the badness.
And it's keeping me, like before, coming back, back for more.

Now I'm free, caught up in the world.
Poisoned by the way we used to be, we used to be.

High, high, high, high?

Look at me, you've seen my method of madness.
Coming back now to shake your tree, trying to do what you did to me.
I should know, but all I feel now is sadness.
God my insides so numb and sore, I won't be back, back for more.

Now I'm free, caught up in the world.
Poisoned by the way we used to be, we used to be.

High, high, high, high?
Hayi Lomfana sondile bolamna?


4. NO:8

Remember the way we use to dance in number eight a kind of magic
African, and the people around us they often said that our world could
not be reached.
So tell me why all the stories repeat themselves and we've been
poisoned by this way.
Please open your ears become wise to what our enemies might say.

Azisenzeni na? I'll be leaving your town.
I'm tasting the rain.

I'm sorry to say, I'm sorry for having loved you this way,
maybe if we make believe, we'll be free.

The golden years we enjoyed then have passed away and we've
been left here with a fantasy.
And now the robins sing about how I start my day waking up on
bended knees.
So tell me why all the stories repeat themselves, I've been appointed
by the devil to ask you this.
And now the darkness demands to know why, I wont lay down my
sword and die.

Azisenzeni na? I'll be leaving your town.
I'm tasting the rain.

I'm sorry to say, I'm sorry for having loved you this way,
maybe if we make believe, we'll be free.


5. WHO'S LYING NOW ?

Come a little closer, I will show you what I need.
Step a little closer baby, you're a hunger that I feed.
Touch the dark and heavy skies, and change my water into wine.
Believe that time that shows these signs, to be perfectly divine.

Ooh girl I always wonder why
Worry why lovers hide what they do
Worry what dreams are burning in you

Count on me, Who's lying now?
With all this love inside of me, tell me who's lying now?

Pretending I don't need her, leaves me aching cold inside.
My questions have no answers, is caring for someone just pride?
Lord no !
I'm back to find that depressed woman, she gets her kicks from
haunting me.
When will the love I have shown for years, open her eyes and make
her see.

Ooh girl I always wonder why
Worry why lovers hide what they do
Worry what seeds are growing on you, babe

Count on me, Who's lying now?
With all this love inside of me, tell me who's lying now?

Tell me who's lying, show me the cards drown from your deck.
Don't bend the truth and go deceiving, you'll make this world so hard
to believe in.
All my brothers hear what I'm saying, lay your healing hands on her.
Please, steer my boat while I'm crossing over, and shine your light on
me, shine it to me.

Count on me, Who's lying now?
With all this love inside of me, tell me who's lying now?


6. ELEPHANT GUN

In the jungle the big ones roam,
where the trumpet softly plays an old tune, baby.
Samba the hunter moved slowly to face his kill,
when the king turned his royal head.
The ball of death plugged both his ears with led.
Remember now to share what life shared with you.

But Samba is hard on believing.
He never seemed to trust no one.
He wants higher and higher alone.

I'm on the move with my elephant machine gun
Though my poor heart is filled with sadness
I'm on the move with my elephant machine gun

Praise the father from whom all things flow,
bless me father, lay your hands on me, lord.
Bless every little creature upon this earth,
how does a castle stand without a king?
How do we sing the songs that we now sing.
When every man will die of loneliness within.

But mankind is hard on believing.
We never seem to trust no one.
We want higher and higher alone.

I'm on the move with my elephant machine gun
Though my poor heart is filled with sadness
I'm on the move with my elephant machine gun

Ah, Ya Abana !
Nakati ya republique du Zaire.
Kasi oyebi oleki bango ee?
Tombola, maboko likolo ee.
Pesa ngai kokofale
Nzambe, pesa ngai kokofale
Nakei ?combat ee,
Tombakataka ee?


7. LOVE WAS GOOD

Hear what God has said, burn ?em with fire.
Never mind the love in your desire, I know.
Know what you feel.
Whenever you walk up to me, girl.

But, we don't know what we're asking for.
We don't know how we could.
We don't know how we should be, yeah lonely.
I'm working on our heaven to make you see,
I thought our love was good.

Love and be the dream, break your chains now.
See the light within to see the light in others, here's how.
Know what you see.
Wherever real truth might be.

But, we don't know what we're asking for.
We don't know how we could.
We don't know how we should be, yeah lonely.
I'm working on our heaven to make you see,
I thought our love was good.


8.THE STORY'S THE SAME

Switchy swappy, oh I'm hearing stories of the games you like to play,
the name of this game is fooling the pants off a boy with that look in
your eyes.
But the story's the same.

While the hand you were given,
would suffice any player but you.
But in fact you're not dealing,
cause the master is shuffling the cards of our deck.
And provides what we need day by day.

We want freedom now
You take careful aim but your shots are a bit lame
We want freedom now, it's waiting for you

Switchy swappy, oh your little scheming will one day be aimed at you,
believe me it's true.
And every word that you say, will be the price that you pay
but the story's the same.

While the hand you were given,
would suffice any player but you.
But in fact you're not dealing,
cause the master is shuffling the cards of our deck.
And provides what we need day by day.

We want freedom now
You take careful aim but your shots are a bit lame
We want freedom now, it's waiting for you


9. CANNED LAUGHTER

It's really not your business, don't you tell me how to live my life
I always held on to my horses with a tight lid on my sickness
Now I'm pretty sure I'm allright

But it's sad to know, or to believe that
what you said was just another way to show
Don't push me?
?cause, I still wont respect you
You're always searching for a way to destroy my mind

Canned laughter, makes me want to walk this way
Canned laughter, tells me something about you
Canned laughter, believe me I'm through

Maybe it's your business, why don't you tell me how to live my life
I guess the way you always turned your back, concerned with your
own fitness, really shows to prove it's allright

But it's sad to know, or to believe that
what you said was just another way to show
Don't push me'
?cause, I still wont respect you
You're always searching for a way to destroy my mind

Canned laughter, makes me want to walk this way
Canned laughter, tells me something about you
Canned laughter, believe me I'm through


10. REMEMBER

On a moment just like this, when the hounds of hell were howling.
Remember we were together you and me, on the border of insanity.
On a moment just like this, so goddamn sure of each other.
If the dam would break and the sky would fall,
we would survive it all.

Standing on the water, with faith enough to stay afloat.
Standing on the water, rowing like hell in the same old boat.

I don't wanna live remembering anymore.

On a moment just like this, staring sadly through your window.
Remember you fell in love, I did not wanna know, so afraid just to let
it show.
On a moment just like this, your bed remained so empty.
And I still believe that you made a deal,
with the devil to conceal what's real.

Standing on the water, with faith enough to stay afloat.
Standing on the water, rowing like hell in the same old boat.

I don't wanna live remembering anymore.
I don't wanna live remembering, I don't wanna live?
I don't wanna live remembering anymore


11. EVERYTHING'S FINE

I woke up sweating in the middle of the night.
My world's been dark since you turn out the light.
Girl I remember, remember leaving with a whimper
and not with a shout.
It seemed like hours just to get through the door,
the tears I cried left stains on your floor.
What ever reasons, the sharp edge of feeling leaves
a scar when it cuts to the core.

Can't speak the words of my heart.
I'm only here to sing about you girl.
And all we did was part,
but everything changed my world

Being alone is a hard deal,
and I believe that you'll never know,
the days I spent with this empty feeling hoping that
life will show?

That everything's fine in it's own time,
loneliness makes me stronger.

How can a wound like this heal at all by time.
My soul gets strangled in the web of my mind.
I'm keeping busy, doing what you do leaves me out here
in the eye of the storm.
If God is with me through the valley of the dead,
he should prevent this civil war in my head.
But while I'm praying, my house is filled with smell of
blood on the ground.

Can't speak the words of my heart.
I'm only here to sing about you girl.
And all we did was part,
but everything's changed my world.

Being alone is a hard deal,
and I believe that you'll never know,
the days I spent with this empty feeling hoping that
life will show?

That everything's fine in it's own time,
loneliness makes me stronger.
