Spiritual Beggars : Live Fire
Les paroles
1. INTRO
(Instrumental)
2. BENEATH THE SKIN
Always there to gloat
Revel in your failure
Echo in your head
A familiar voice
I am the clown in the mirror
The part of you, you hate
Never far away
Just there…
Beneath the skin
You sold your soul to me
A long, long time ago
Your own insecurity
Made me your master
3. FOOL'S GOLD
Seeing is believing
Or so they say
But who’s to judge
What’s real anyway?
I know it’s fake
So get off your high horse
You’d rather have this dream
Than your tears and heartaches
I’m sorry
But I can’t help you
I’m really sorry
But I’m busy chasing fools gold
It’s always been this way
I gotta ride my own wave
Can’t intellectualise
There’s no compromise
I’m not like you
I can only be me
And that’s something
You never quite figured out
4. MONSTER ASTRONAUTS
Take me to the river dance with the demons inside
Put me in the mist wait for the golden twist
Fly me to the moon we got enough of fuel
Dark moving shadows once got a hold of you
Well I won't be back there
I won't be back there
Tripping with my baby she's got a taste for fun
Dance a little dance twist into the magic trance
Monster astronauts semen of the sun
Monster astronauts now we're leaving ground
And we won't be back there
We won't be back there
Take me to the river dance with the demons inside
Put me in the mist wait for the golden twist
Monster astronauts semen of the sun
Monster astronauts now we're leaving ground
And we won't be back there
5. ANGEL OF BETRAYAL
She shone like the sun in those days
Whispered things into my head
Now I lie cold in my cell
Kissing pills to keep me sane
Angel of betrayal
Nowadays I choose to meditate
With a couple of drinks
Sitting on my sofa
Watching a dumb TV
Gin and Tonic rules
Blood on the floor
Burn marks from cigarettes
My throat pleads for more
Angel of betrayal
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
I prayed that I was insured
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
But she led my mind astray
Angel of betrayal
I ought to kill the bitch
To clean her out of my head
Letting off some steam
If you know what I mean
Gin and Tonic rules
Blood on the floor
Burn marks and everything
Her soul leaves for home
Angel of betrayal
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
I prayed that I was insured
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
But she led my mind astray
Angel of betrayal
6. YOUNG MAN, OLD SOUL
You’ve been down this road before
Heard this story a thousand times or more
With a cynical bitter stare
You watch your life go by…bye, bye
A young man
With an old soul
Open your mind
Don’t close that door
No matter how high you climb
It’s never high enough
Can’t enjoy the moment, no
Never satisfied with what you got
7. BLIND MOUNTAIN
Come on winter feed me with your darkness
you know I've felt like this before
Loneliness is my only friend now
and this bottle of cheap red wine
Deep are the wounds that push me away
deep are the rivers that run through my soul
Bittersweet are my memories
of the one that got away... yeah
Innervisions bleed through my eyes
Look at me I'm dying for you
And all this time we'd borrow, beg and steal
to feel real... Living lies
8. MANTRA
I've been down so long
Nothing ever changes
No matter how much I try
Got neighbors in my head
They're constantly arguing
About each step I take
My hands move
Like rattlesnakes
And my fingers fumble
Like they've just been invented
And I bleed through
The faking truth
I don't understand
All you fools
I keep drinking wine
Alone in the dark
You know the last drink
Is always the saddest
I have enough pills
To take me home
'Cause this neighbor's song
Is doing it too slow
My hands move
Like rattlesnakes
And my fingers fumble
Like they've just been invented
And I bleed through
The faking truth
I don't understand
All you fools
9. WONDERFUL WORLD
Cloudless sky is in my eyes
The sun has come out for air
My dog is sitting by my side
Watching me getting high
What a wonderful world
Looking with inner eyes
What a wonderful world
Nothing ever dies
Can you feel the taste of life
Or are you blinded by the clowns?
Shake the water, feed the sun
Oil the universal joint
What a wonderful world
Looking with inner eyes
What a wonderful world
Nothing ever dies
10. KILLING TIME
Crawling on my knees
Fumbling in the dark
Turning wheel of fate
Keeps spinning
I’ve seen ‘em come and go
Got the staying power
But I got nothing to show
How my life turned out to be
A rhyme without reason
A self fulfilling prophecy
Killing time
Don’t know what I’m doing
Killing time
Searching for that something
Killing time…
Back on my knees again
Life’s a losing game
This wheel of fate
Keeps on spinning
11. NOT FRAGILE
(Instrumental)
12. EUPHORIA
The sun is high and so am I
The plant in the hole starts to rise
Thoughts of the moon rotating in the room
I'm floating down a river without you
Smoke me baby, boil my soul
Let your wet pieces warm my bones
Ocean wide smell of freedom
Ocean wide taste of joy
I'm thirsting for euphoria
I'm drowning in this ocean of doubts
I'm fighting with my phobia
I'm thirsting for euphoria
Planets circulate around our heads
Listen carefully and you hear them say
Life is love and together we are God
Hold me tight, warm my bones, take me home
I'm thirsting for euphoria
I'm drowning in this ocean of doubts
I'm fighting with my phobia
I'm thirsting for euphoria
The sun is high and so am I
The plant in the hole starts to rise
Ocean wide smell of freedom
Ocean wide taste of joy
I'm thirsting for euphoria
I'm drowning in this ocean of doubts
I'm fighting with my phobia
I'm thirsting for euphoria
