The Moonlight Rush

The floor will open up
And the walls will run
A beat around the bush
Won’t you carry on
Move on, move on
Felt our ship tip
I think it’s going down
It’s been a while
It’s been a while
Carry on, Carry on
In a moonlit daze
As real as hell
Cold shriek of broken wheels
Can’t listen to the sound
It‘s been a while
It‘s been a while
Move on, move on
Ringer, will you please
Swing the bell
And sirup in my ears
Will suit me well
Love has me lose my pace
Don’t you bring me down
Dances around your face
Don’t you bring me down
Moonlit men in brownish coats
Don’t you bring me down
Words will rest your body float
Don’t you bring me down
Come on, come on
This moonlit rush
As real as hell
Carry on, carry on
Days gone in cold weather
Now the sun will shine on
We are all but shame said the scripture
You are the ship
That brings us home

Dead Fingers
To tell no stupid lies
Won’t satisfy their appetite
Can you help me analyze
Will anybody find their side?
Dead on scene
She said it came from nowhere
Dead on scene
Raise your fist to salute her
Then rules abound
Can I just put my foot down
And so you’re out of the rabbit hole
Wide awake and limbs aloof
Bears teeth in your flesh
Shiver’s cool, don’t try to move
Dead on scene
She said it came from nowhere
Dead on scene
Raise your fist to salute her
Then I turn around
Can I just put my foot down
Can I just put my foot down

Ghosts

Cold and frail
In an orange peel
Cold and frail
In an orange peel
The tremor has its core
In a glass of carmine wine
Cuddle up in darkness
Shaking all the time
A pillow tells me stories
Where ghosts all set to fly
Parading in my wardrobe
And noone tells me why
There’s shiver up and down my spine, spine
The plan to keep me sane
Doesn’t seem to work out fine
Took a hold of the frame
Shaking all the time
The pillow tells me stories
So leave me here to die
Parading in my wardrobe
Ghosts won’t pass me by
We can make it count this time
We’ll smile and commit the crime
We can make it count this time
At the tip of my fingers
place your hands in plain view
At the sill of a window
place your hands in plain view
It’s all fine! Fine! Fine!
It’s all fine
Take your time
Just shivers up and down your spine

P is for Parrot
05:13

It‘s not real love
If you don‘t get it back
A broken heart fell asunder
Head’s not more than just a hat rack
And it‘s all or nothing
That’s what I said
And all or nothing
Was all I had
I saw an endangered lovebird
A is for parrot we can plainly see
God broke the mold
From which you were made for me
Made for me
Time runs so fast
You‘re fast ahead
Time runs so fast
We’re nearly dead
Little clutching noise
I‘m not listening
This smile will be my downfall
I was wrong, so long, till the end of the world
Frown, turn it upside down

All our hearts to fall from the sky
Little sparks in the corner of your eye
Will you run, will you run, will you run, from your life?
Take me, take me to the turn of the century
Will they throw a stone?
When you run, when you run?
Save me, save me from the turn of the century
Will you roll in your grave?
When you’re gone, when you’re gone?
All your hearts to fall from the sky
Little sparks in the corner of your eye
Will you roll in your grave?
When you’re gone?

Lost at Sea
07:29
|

Someone lost at sea
Someone in a plane
Wings are breaking, engines failing
Waves are washing all over me
All over me
All over me
No ties to bind me
Just weight on my shoulder
No lies to blind me
Just tumbling all over
Someone cast ashore
Someone in a wreck
Hands are reaching, hands are pouring
Sand all over me
No ties to bind me
Just weight on my shoulder
No lies to blind me
Just tumbling all over
Rope me up boys, and overboard
I lost my heart to the great wide open sea

Cosmic Shape Shifter
09:31
|

|
Well, I have house rules
Any guest should know
Take off your clown shoes
For common ground below
Don’t ask, don’t tell
The cosmic telephone knows very well
Knows very well
To put some names on you fools
Three opportunists in a row
I wrote out some guide rules
That any fool should know
Won’t stop, won’t fail
The cosmic center will shift to hell
Shift to hell
Foil wear
Large lizards
War tide
Rambling strangers
A flat earth
With sharp edges
Hidden teeth
Like burning matches
Pink desert
I sit in silence
Pandering, pandering
It’s fleeting time
Form a line
Come around
Make a sound
Dead weight
In nice strollers
Big lies
On screaming cardboard
Heading up
To moron island
Like stray cats
Causing havoc
Don’t you give in!
Is this canon?
Come around
Make a sound
Windy days in June
The cosmic shape shifter plays his tune
Windy days too soon
The cosmic shape shifter plays his tune
And for a while
It’s in style
Spreading faster, spreading faster
Set your alarms
For major harm
Soon, soon
