the story goes a prophet from 16th century got invited to appear on a black and white tv prophesize the comet, preach the final scenes the people only clapped and spent another day being here being free and i just heard of people who start the art rock scene to be taken to the airport and discussed in magazines boy george on a billboard, madonna as a queen and no-one seemed to care that they were made up by a team to work, just to work seven days of longing i always seemed to sure told you all the lies now they only seem to hurt so bad all my words … i promised you the perfect fall fall when i was just a boy all the boys gave me beer everyone went nowhere but the images got clear i saw johnny on a highway; eli volunteer to become the second person in a coma for a year oh boy… when I just speak of holy please do understand I ain’t talking about jesus, I’m just talking ‘bout my friends take me from the airwaves this is a bad career seriously talking while no-one ever hears my band seven days of longing i always seemed to sure told you all the lies now they only seem to hurt so bad all my words … i promised you the perfect fall fall

wind howls i’m home again awaiting the time to pass me by a full moon 6 am i howl and howl and howl and no-one seems to understand there’s a picture on the wall three sisters, one is dressed in white and when i look across the room all has led to here and I don’t mind i breath in breath out isn’t that what life’s all about, princess? a white horses tracing down the same old steps seven flowers on a seaweed bed i loved the waves crashing down the sands said ‘mother let me drink my cup, i dream and dream and dream scared to death, just to wake up’ i staged the plays I called ‘Riding for the Feeling or: The Fall’ after sunrise, afterglow I’m fading when you hear the whistle blow i breath in breath out isn’t that what life’s all about, princess? a white horses tracing down the same old steps

Archer 04:12

a crow came down ‘tell me bout the size!’ we looked to small you see flowers always grow you don’t need to see, you need to know oh I said I’m going out while everyone knows I’ll stay at home I keep waiting for the sound ‘Ride the Feeling’ rings at home they said it’s easy to talk about love but you know how it breaks and falls apart falls apart and while the archer pulls his bow, aims his arrow straight into the night i woke up mid-fall, open up the door and step outside i read the letter that you wrote it said ‘it’s time to take your time’ i learned to be; learned to fall; learned to get up; learned to crawl they said it’s easy to talk about love but you know how it breaks and falls apart falls apart bleak as gold and soft as skin i only learn to try i only learn to try

The Needle 03:53

some have lost their home on a thousand euro phone some have lost their way driving towards l a and i’ve got a machine that generates my dreams got all my friends to know they can meet me at my shows all his three critiques got me a fine degree i learned to phrase my words sing ‘science never hurts’ so simple as can be here’s my poetry waiting to be heard by shepherd or the herd give me the needle, give me the shot the shot is made of longing i just can’t get enough about five-hundred years ago there was a guy, galileo and all that he could see led to reality tv so this morning i woke up at evening i lay down waiting for the day i slowly learned to fade away two days in quarantine led to broke self-esteem i watched the children scheme how to live their broken dreams and on the balcony i’ll await my salary deconstruct the modern beats just to write them poetries give the needle, give me the shot give me a second call the shot is made of longing i just can’t get enough give me the needle, give me the shot the shot is made of longing i just can’t get enough

Back to You 05:12
lyrics

so by the fire  we lay  when summer ends  and paves the way  for the trees  for the snow  for friends to rest & stay at home    i heard stories about a lifetime  and they always lead back to you  all the books laid on the table  the days we start in song  all the truths all found in fables all our rights and all our wrongs  they always leads back to you  so while we rest  laugh and talk know there's nothing  but a peaceful walk  we'll be sisters  we'll be foe at times to get back  at time to go  i heard stories about a lifetime  and they always lead back to you  all the books laid on the table  the days we start in song  all the truths all found in fables all our rights and all our wrongs  they always leads back to you
