1. STARCHASER

wasn't man enough to say goodbye to you
I could not keep on doing things I would not do
But it's alright

There wasn't time enough to keep you satisfied
There's no denying I'm a coward and I lied
But that's years ago now
Ain't it funny how time heals the wounds

If you ever feelin low
There's just one thing you should know
There's a river of champagne
On a big pink cloud
Just one song away

Look to the sky and make believe you're 1000 years
Raise your glass to the devil and say cheers
Cos it's alright

You've lost your chains, you're free to be the way you are
Now get on the train, it's gonna take you far
You got all it takes
Release the brakes
Enjoy the ride

Even if diamonds turn to coal
There's just no way you can fall
Let the music show the way
Realize one and one is two

Like one big neon sailing dove
Outshine the northern lights above
Music is the only way
Realize the only God is You
Starchaser


2. DESERT MACHINE

Art is my life, I'm a painter, I like it colorless and clean
I'm working on the biggest image anyone ever seen
The world is my canvas and I just can't wait to fulfill my dream
I find life so disturbing and I don't care for blue or green

Can you imagine anything more beautiful
Than nothing with nothing in between
A picture from the moon of a yellow ball
Such a wonderful scene
I'm the desert machine

I want your house and your backyard too
I need space but I don't need you
Travel to space if you want to live
Time will teach you to forgive

I don't expect any recognition
In a hundred years, maybe four
And when everything's forgotten
You will realize less is more
I'm the desert machine
Leaving but wasteland behind
I'm the eraser, I'm the mastermind
I'm the destiny so unkind
Everybody's confined

I'm the desert machine


3. ACCORDION WOMAN

Poor little old young girl
Seventyfive years of age in mind
Been that way since you were a little baby
Girl you're surely one of a kind

Puttin on fake liver spots with make up
Drinkin tea, eatin bicuits, never gettin laid
Drivin everyone around you crazy
With your accordion and your hearing aid

Accordion woman what you gonna do
Talk like an old hag but you're only twentytwo

Spend the afternoon talkin bout the old days
Even though you were not around
Can't you see you gonna get lonely
When all your friends are in the ground

Accordion woman what you gonna do
Look like an old hag still you're only twentytwo

Accordion woman
Born fifty years too late
Accordion woman
Such a terrible fate

Girl, you're only twentytwo


4. TERMINAL

How I wish I could be here
Before the invention of God
How I wish I could swim in the cool green ocean
Instead of wading in blood

You spit in my drinking water
And you're the one calling for war
Raping your neighbour's daughter
Then you name her a whore

Take me back to long ago
when air was clean and grass was green and new
Bring back the days
when the decisions were made by me and you

Sound asleep without the slightest worry
Lying safe in your bed
Outside your bedroom window
Children steal clothes off the dead

How can you judge your fellow man
for crossing lines too fine to see?
How can you stand yourself
leading millions in misery?
Do you believe you're untouchable
because you made the law?
Do you believe we'll keep quiet
about what we saw?

The final act of justice
Takes no prisoners at all
Say hello to all your judges
Someone have mercy on your soul


5. BLOOD IS BLOOD

I'm changing back
To who I was
Before I was told
That you were not
The one I thought
I got confused
And my world was destroyed
I did not see
That nothing had changed
Except for me
I did not see
But now I do
Blood is blood
I'm changing back


6. WE WILL CRIMSON YOU

(Instrumental)


7. U

The lost moths drawn to your flame
Keep you entertained for a while
Until you're tired and set them on fire
Some you let live
You won't let them go
You want control
You suck them dry
Use them until they fly

Your cynicism and modified honesty
Turns time into your enemy

As the evening sun of life is sinking low
There's still one crooked path for you to go
One last thing left for you to do
Tell your children not to be like you

Don't expect any more than what's coming to you
As long as your aim is all that is true

You became what you used to pretend
And I can't believe you used to be my friend


8. UNDEAD

Summer's here
But I'm not
This bed is all I've got
A white room
1000 miles from home
Wish I was dead and gone
I feel so tired
Still awake
Been told I need a break
I wonder what it's like outside
Take me off this scary ride

Locked up on the inside
Wanting out
Don't know what to do
Stumbling about
Terrifying screams
White suits all around
Noone wants to tell me
Where I'm bound

Wake me up to see today
Keep me up to live today
My world is upside down
Help me turn it all around

Waiting for the haze to disappear
Longing for the days to reappear
Somehow I'm still alive

I can't tell you why
Just like a shark
You keep moving
Or you die

So tired
Wide awake
What is happening to me?
Dead tired
Still awake
Mut be what it means to be
Undead

Wake me up to see today
Keep me up to live today
My world is upside down
Help me turn it all around
Get me out of this sleepless hell
Tell me how to break the spell
Show me what it's like to live
Bring me something to believe


9. NOTHING NEW

Do you think the carpenter will be on time?
Do you think your doctor doesn't overcharge?
Do you think your accountant is telling you the truth?
Do you think the government doesn't rip you off?

Who's to be trusted, and my friend:
Who's gonna catch you if you fall?
Don't have too great expectations
We're only human after all

Try telling rabbits not to breed
Try telling fish not to swim
Try to tell the sun not to shine
Try to tell your children not to lie

Do you think your friends don't talk behind your back?
Do you believe that virtues is more than a pose?

A thief wants to steal your money
A preacher wants to steal your soul
A politician steals away the truth
Time steals away your life

Try telling birds not to sing
Try to tell the preacher not to preach
Try to tell the river not to try to reach the sea
Try to tell your children not to steal

Nothing new
About the nature of me and you
