1. REIKJAVIK

Full of pride, the empty land
It's time to move out...

There's no crime in your hands,
But something it's coming, coming up.
It's so near, you'd better
Get your things out of here,
And hurry up.
Leave your home, forget it all,
Take a deep breath, someone's looking for
A trace of you, so there's nothing you can do.

How long could you... How long... could you...
How long... could you hide?

Cross the line with your fears,
Hide yourself and disappear.
Search a cold place,
Cold, cold wind so far away
...Lead yourself there
You need more rain... need more winter
Run away hidden by the fog.
Save your life, I wish you could escape to the north.

How long could you... How long... could you...
How long... could you hide?

It's coming up!

How long could you... How long... could you...
How long... could you hide?


2. TAJ MAHAL

Rolling down,
The pearls were falling to the ground,
Sliding like the sweet rain that tries to form a river.
Rolling down,
The diamond was hard to find
Escaping out between my usual clumsy fingers.
Rolling down,
No more gold or esmeralds,
Hidden in a place where they could always be seen.
All those things, a treasure is missed on the way.
The bill is paid, the deal is over but I've got no receipt.

Why ain't you kept in a box?
And then you set free the things he lost.
Why ain't you kept in a case?
Under lock and key to keep you safe.

It slowly comes, a flashback turning inside out,
Photos printed in a strange cerebral paper.
It slowly comes, leaving the knife in the wound
No docr is big enough to block off all this big hole.
Rolling down,
No more gold or esmeralds,
Hidden in a place where they could always be seen.
All those things, a treasure is missed on the way.
The bill is paid, the deal is over but I've got no receipt.

Why ain't you kept in a box?
And then you set free the things he lost.
Why ain't you kept in a case?
Under lock and key to keep you safe.

Future, past and present, are all mixed.
Better in a packet far away... rest in peace.


3. WRONG WAY

The redemption could be found on her,
When the shaking started to go too far.
He used the violence hitting hard her head.
Those past days weren't exactly good;
But she was always smiling

Forgive me! I'm a maniac, I'm strange.
Please turn me off.

She never asked the why of all your kicks,
No reason for being drunk in front of the kids.
All the words that you never ever said
Follow you and are withering your health,
But she was always smiling.

Forgive me! I'm a maniac, I'm strange.
Please turn me off.

She was always glad and happy,
Resigned to calm and suffering.

Now you're hugging and old portrait,
Many years after those all days.

Hey... I'm gonna say what you should have said to your wife.

Please turn me off.
Forgive me! I'm a maniac, I'm strange.
Please turn me off.


4. URSULA ANDRESS

How do you think I'm feeling?
How much do you think I care?
What is the price that must be paid
if I want to stop this hell?
Can you stop it? I'm breathing
How much pain is in your hands?
Try to count a billion and add a thousand more.

"Love is a gun..."
That's what she says...
While I'm crying with a gunshot on her bed...
On and on, she's shooting near to me
And I'm bleeding on her bed
And she doesn't care...
On and on, she can clean her sheets,
She could erase her head,
With detergent.

Where are my written poems?
Where are your sweetest words?
When did I begin to leave this world
Putting my hands on yours?
Remembering your kisses and all the times you said "forever"
Try to count a billion and add a thousand more.

"Love is a gun..."
That's what she says...
While I'm crying with a gunshot on her bed...
On and on, she's shooting near to me
And I'm bleeding on her bed
And she doesn't care...
On and on, she can clean her sheets,
She could erase her head,
With detergent.

Flying bullets tonight.

"Love is a gun..."
That's what she says...
While I'm crying with a gunshot on her bed...
On and on, she's shooting near to me
And I'm bleeding on her bed
And she doesn't care...
On and on, she can clean her sheets,
She could erase her head,
With detergent.


5. LOTUS

Protected by a few little thorns.
Defended by an ethereal cocoon.

Growing weak, damned, sad and shy!

To be secure, to take the reins,
to hold the force that keep you sane.
There is a shield, a protective shield all around you.

Come on, don't be afraid...
Smile and stay alive.

To make a choice, to enjoy life,
To hear the voice from deep inside,
Destroy the wall, don't use the shield,
Break all the barriers.

Come on, be yourself...
Smile and stay alive


6. 1.9.7.9. JACKPOT

1.9.7.9. Jackpot!

After the last crude show,
As soon as the bandage falls,
Goodbye to my fictitious world.
A new clarity is yet to come.
Looking at my own reflection...
Better look to another place.
So I must change myself,
Although it's hard I'll do it well.

Over their shoulders the weight of the morale
And dragging the friendship as if dealing with a loser.

People have so many friends and pals,
If you need them one day, the won't let you down.
But I really need help many times,
Up to this moment, nobody wants to give me support...
So what the hell!

Oh, it's difficult to be another man but I will be
Because it is worthwhile.
Oh, it's so difficult, it's so difficult.

7. MEETING POINT

(Instrumental)


8. MISERERE

Seven hundred seasons walking,
With a splinter under my skin.
This paraplegic limitation pushes
My body over my knees.
One hand holds the list of meditated
Reasons waiting for
The explanation that would be
The answers to the questions done.

Guilty for a strange behaviour that
Keeps me away from what I've fought for.
Always zeros on my left side.

Help me to understand... Is it enough?
Help me to understand if I am wrong.

Almost jaded, tired and bored because
The chase is going hard.
Every step I've made is an illusion
And it drives me far.
It seems that destiny is burying
Hopes without sensitivity,
While conspiracy takes away the opportunity.

Guilty for a strange behaviour that
Keeps me away from what I've fought for.
Always zeros on my left side.

Help me to understand... Is it enough?
Help me to understand if I am wrong.


9. PODIUM

Sorry, nothing in this world is sorry,
Nothing seems to high,
'Cause I'm ready, waiting for...
Ready, waiting for the jump.
Feeling fragile in my bones,
Need a clean-up of my life.
My headache is whispering
Whispering that i can fly.

I prepare myself to look,
Without faith I look up there
And I think nobody is there.
Falling happily, feeling well.
With a stupid smile on my face,
All the voices with a grin.

Here, whisper at me and I will fly!

Listen: I could smile again
And there is no time to cry.
Something tells me: "that is good"
If you want to, you must try!!

Here, whisper at me and I will fly!

Oh! Ain't you there?
Ain't you...?


10. BETISA'S WORLD

From labyrinth, from Bowie's labyrinth
She was extirpated from there.
Protagonist, like Alice on her tale,
She was extirpated from there.

Never said my name.

And sitting down, hugging an orange dog
She writes in her own book of days:
Delicious time, a message from Dali
"Draw big spiders, then you'll never be afraid"

(I'll destroy you inside)

And ask no more, he's got a few pictures
That he stuck on the others photos.
So everything, everything is replaced,
No remains of the other person.

She comes like a twilight bird.
She brings a different point of view.

Come on, say my name.
Say my name.

She has a portrait of her boyfriend on the desk,
Asking herself if he has got one, too.

He has a portrait of her girlfriend on the desk.

And ask no more, he's got a few pictures
That he stuck on the others photos.
So everything, everything is replaced,
No remains of the other person.

She comes like a twilight bird.
She brings a different point of view.

She has a portrait of her boyfriend on the desk,
Asking herself if he has got one, too.

He has a portrait of her girlfriend on the desk.


11. FAHRENHEIT

Genetics, great legacy,
You can't escape, it's on your back.
Genetics trasform the truth,
Are turning Paul changing him into his dad.
In the middle of the mind.

Draining his character
And leaving out all that he drags,
Is waiting a different boy, but he's always trapped.
Genetics pull so hard
In the middle of the mind.

D.N.A. is working now,
Is in his veins, is burning in his head.
In the middle of the mind.


12. SURIMI

Look at me...
I'm laughing...
Listen to me...
I'm laughing...
I don't feel it...
I don't feel...
