TESTI:

 

Sacrifice

Too much time to get lost in the maze

Tell me isn't that strange

You bleed to get there - you are ready

To be a bird in a golden cage

 

Sweat is breacking on my brow

Where's the freak to ease my pain

Room is dark and big and empty

Silence driving me insane

 

Night has fallen - demons laughing

I'm waiting for the light of day

Here's the land of milk and honey

There you got the price to pay

 

Searching for shelter

Riding the pendulum to paradise

As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire

I'm swinging back towards the edge

 

And I drift away - killing sacrifice

Here I go insane

What a price to pay - little sacrifice

I set off to heaven and found bedlam

 

There's a part of me that's not been sold

Save me please embrace me hold me

Kiss my bleeding soul

You can't see below the creature

That's pounding sitting in my neck

If you see inside my head

You surely wouldn't turn your back on me

 

I'm looking for shelter

Riding the pendulum to paradise

As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire

I'm swinging back towards the abyss

 

And I drift away...

 

Nothing remains the same

But still I hear those voices

Nothing remains the same

Where am I gonna go is it my destination

Or just a sick temptation

And I remember home when demons came

And I got swept away from me

 

 

 

Rocket Ride

I sought salvation but I found insanity
Lost in a mass I returned to profanity

I've been reaching for the sky
But I am stuck with my feet, down in concrete

Don't you run away now, don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning, whoah oh oh
Don't you run away now, don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle, take a rocket ride

Suffering my way with divine aspiration
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion 'till I've clung to the pie
You never really miss it, until you really try

Tried to jump but held down by concrete
The venery surrounding my feet...

 

Oh I've tried to reach higher

On and on but my flesh is too weak

Been searching for answers - I've been led to the fire

There must be a reason for us to be down here

Oh I'm drifting - temptation

carried out to the sea - I'm drifting away...

 

I'm a piledriver - piledriver...

 

 

 

 

Wasted Time

The dream is over - no one to take the blame

we believed in roses but only thorns remained

 

And I look into the rear view mirror

We create and we destroy

Put our blood into a street with a dead end

Walk up that stairway to jump off into the black

 

Here we go

We go all the way  - Do we need the pain

Walking up in a black tomorrow

I've been there before - Was it all wasted again

 

We go all the way - Do we need the pain

Walking up in a black tomorrow

I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time

 

Maybe I am different Maybe I'm a fool

And I wonder if it's worth it

Trying to find another you

 

And I look into that rear view mirror

just to see how fucked I look

While I drive along that street with a dead end

Like a moth to a flame it's gonna suck me into pain

 

Here we go...

 

What are we heading for - Why do I dare again

Once bitten twice shy and still we never learn

 

So here I'm lying - A leisure - poet in pain

Involuntary loner I know life is just a game

Where nobody gets out alive - A sedative shot for me

No happy man gets out alive - neither of us you will see

 

 

 

 

Matrix

Into the matrix...

 

I see your face in a masquerade

I see your made up smile

When the show is over then what is left behind

It's in your eyes It's in your head

How come they say opposites attract

When all you feel is a struggle deep inside

 

Don't tell no lies - no more disguise

I'm tracing the matrix of my life

The damage is done you don't belong

Deep down in the matrix

 

I'm feeling pushed from left to right

is this the way it's meant to be

is my destiny to be crawling on my knees

Now who is right and who is wrong

Who is the one that won't belong

Who's for real and who's just pretending to be...

 

 

 

 

Return To The Tribe

Road lies ahead

And a long road lies behind me

I see lights passing by

And I know It's the time of our lives

A million miles

lightyears I've been travelling

To watch and enjoy this world

And I've seen ass galore

 

I'm musing over it all

closing my eyes to remember it all

embracing the past and the future to come

kiss the road that leads me to my tribe

 

I've found my way home

I'll return to where I belong

Back to where I stem from

Back to paradise

Time to return to the tribe

 

The other side - always close to the edge

Been walking a thin line

Always knew someone watched my step

A mistery to make it out alive and sane

the battle is over

And I know who's been with me

 

Now I'm musing over it all

On top of this world I remember it all

Awaiting that sunrise and sunset at home

kiss the way that leads me to my tribe...

 

I've seen battlefields, drunk drummers,

japanese hotel toilets,

piesel tuning guitars

and A.C. being my personal slave...

 

 

 

 

The Asylum

Crying in the still of the night

A yearning for shelter

Silence kissing your wounds

Soothing your pain

Darkness - and what do they know

Bout losing direction clutch at a straw

cherish the hope to make it finally home...

 

You longto be see - through
So nobody can tell

Whenever they made you

Bleed your pride away

Now you're driven by one track mind

Initiating you - splendid flowers

Blossom from the wounds

The stronger the poison

The sweeter smells the bloom

 

Don't you try to stand your ground

cause you're only coming home

 

To the heart of fire

You're home - found asylum

in a world where the broken dance

On shards of glass

I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire

In a world where the broken dance

With shattered dreams

 

It's burning inside you this emotional hell

And you keep on smiling upon the icy tiles

A stream of fire to sweep the fears away

Seems like forever

Too long you've had to wait

Plunge in darkness for wicked harmony

 

Little angel thrown away

Sure'll be back another day

 

Now see the cornered children

I see them off the beaten track

Embracing and crying

Freezing and dying

Concealed humiliation

Now let them dance

Liberation cruelty-free

Dance towards the gallows-tree

 

Bogyman was sought and found

Bogyman has found a home

 

In the heart of fire

He's found his asylum...

 

 

 

 

Save Me

Waiting for a little sign

Seems like to no avail

Strolling down the pavement aimlessly

She is praying for someone

To snatch her bag of memories

How come you call it destiny

When the cross you bear is

Your only company

 

Never seen you

I don't even know your name

But still I believe

 

That you are gonna save me

Somehow I got a notion

Just a little affection

On this cold and windy road

Save me from a state of unemotion

Just a little affection

On this windy road

 

Why is it all so confusing

Why does growing up hurt so bad

We seek and we get lost

We get found and go again

And I don't know what is gonna be

I won't make any promise but I believe

 

Never seen you

I don't even know your name

But still I believe

 

That you are gonna...

 

I don't know if I can

I don't know if I should

I don't know what is right

And what's to come if you would

Here I stand in the rain

Here I stand in the cold

I'm reluctant to get

Another shot in my soul

I'm afraid of that hole

 

 

 

 

Catch Of The Century

You do not know and you don't care

And you may never learn

I made approaches you gave me teeth

And got my hope inurned

 

Unprepossessing that's what you say

Don't get the essential point

What it came down to was - you ain't got nothing

Here's to the wicked and here's to the odd

 

You got your chance going down the drain

You're dumping the catch of the century

You've had your chance

But you're much too vain to take it

The catch of the century

 

Nobody's waiting cause all the world

Seems like it's already spoken for

A host of rivals

I'm out of vogue and I'll be forevermore

 

You strut around - sneer from on high

I'm on the road again - I'm going down with flying colors

Before I go down on somebody else

 

You got your chance going down the drain

You're dumping the catch of the century

And lady luck's got her ass in pain

You're wasting the catch of the century

 

 

 

 

Out of Vogue

Jeer at him moving in slow-mo

Surrounded by a spirit-entourage

So odd - inviting sneer

You ride the spinning wheel that's getting faster

Outside they saw the passing centuries

 

Round and round - merry go round

Round and round you go

Scream and shout - laugh aloud

 

It's so out of vogue

To lead a way outside the catalogue

You're en vogue and don't understand

It's so out of vogue to contradict

Your transient mistress of the world

How does it feel in your cage

Trapped in vogue

 

So you don't miss a thing in your carrousel

You feel so proud behind the steering wheel

The mind you sold waves at you from outside

And you feel happy as you kneel

 

Lady dark crack the whip - 300 pounds of lust

One shall get what you need

 

It's so out of vogue

How do you do inside the catalogue

You're en vogue and don't miss a thing...

 

 

 

 

Superheroes

City lights are calling - slowly coming back to life

Speeding in the fast lane - mama let us waste no time

Devil in the doorway - selling any kind of hell

We're just coming out to play the game

 

And we never cry for love

We're superheroes

We are back where we belong

We never cry for pain

We're superheroes

Make a stand where we belong

 

Way too long I've tried to be what I could never be

For  too long you've rolled the dice

But you can't control me

I ain't talking about romance

You may fiddle I may dance

Anyway it's just a game we play

 

You gotta move to stay alive

We're gonna rock the bash tonight

 

And we never cry for love...

 

 

 

 

Trinidad

[Unfunny - chapter 42953]

"Hello girls!"

 

"Hello Tobi you hot little machine!!!"

 

I'm a sight for sore eyes

Oh if your eyes would only see

I've been born on tiptoe

Still you looked

Like a lighthouse next to me

 

You pet named me Napoleon

I was proud

Til I got the reason why

Never aimed for confrontation

You've been sleeping

When I kissed your ass goodbye

 

Oh while you read this letter

I'd just gone to eat out

by the way

 

My what a sunshine in Trinidad

Hope you're ok light years away

My what a heat wave in Trinidad

Hope you don't mind if I stay

 

Pitcher goes too often to the well

And now the pitcher's gone insane

Ratatatataaa - gotta run away

Boiling over - getting hell

And found the answer on a plane

 

Oh I've been pissing off

Before you might

Could have pissed me off

I hope you're fine

 

My what a sunshine in Trinidad

Mind if you stay? I do okay!

My what a heat wave in Trinidad

Sunburnt a nightflight away

 

 

 

 

 

Fucking With Fire

[Hair Force One]

I saw her coming in high-heels

Moving like a queen

A little sweet angel but deep underneath

A mean machine

 

You're lying in wait to make me a fool

You want me to bite

I'm gonna take the bait

Ant the hunter for afters

I'll take you for a ride

 

I don't wanna play no games

Cause I'm a bad bad boy all around

Let me be your Titanic

Before you know what's going on

I may go down

 

Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock

Got my rocket on fire

And I take what I want

Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked

You never miss it til you've begun

with the hair force one

 

Don't make no mistakes

Don't you miss out

On the hell of a time

I'm real go-getter

And there's no doubt

That down the line

 

I know what you want

and I know what you need

Your secret desire

Got the gloves of a man

The hands of a beast

And my pants on fire

 

And I don't wanna play no games

Cause I'm a nasty bad boy

All around around

Let me be your Titanic

Before you know what's going on

I'm going down...
