Sun in Hell

Show me the way I don’t know
I’ll follow your trail
Give me a name just to show
I’m a man
And it tastes like conscience of you
It’s coming rain
Tell me more ‘bout your home
Do you have a whale?
I scream again I need to go
Get out of nylon jail
The lucky star over me is pale
I’m the sun in hell
I won’t be here till I die
I just want back what is mine
It was the night when everybody’s wrong
And you just wrote another song

Turtle Soup

Once upon a time
My mum had a dream
She wished me to be brave
She wished me to keep smiling
So then I left the farm
And I crossed the land
Once I met god
And I saw him crying
I found shining nights
I found somber days
I found screaming rocks
I found silent falls
So then I found the girl
I found her heart
When I had it all
I lost it in a moment
But first of all I’d eaten turtle soup
And then I killed the child in me
You don’t know, you are a turtle too
Don’t be scared, now I’m full.
Just tell me why I had to meet you in the night
Just tell me why I had to level my gun
Just tell me why I had to hold my breath
Just tell me why I had to draw the bead on you
Once upon a time
My mum had the blues
Looking at her son
Smiling in the noose
But first of all I’d eaten turtle soup
And then I killed the child in me
You don’t know you are a turtle too
Don’t be scared, now I’m full.

Grace

Pardon me I failed,
I made a big mistake,
I entered a one-way gate,
I ate the rotten cake.
Running through my life,
I passed a lot of holes,
Imagine all my fights,
You’ll see I can see ghosts,
Running!
Screaming like a bear,
I spoke to Grace one day,
She was beautiful I swear,
Like foggy dawn in May.
My Grace she was OK,
She let me touch the sky,
She knew just what to say,
She knew when to cry,
Once, I saw my Grace,
She had moonlight in her face
Show me your dirty place now!
She was good like Jesus Christ,
In bed like a dirty whore,
On Sunday I realized,
I’m looking for more.
Suddenly I found,
She’s worse than the plague,
The devil on a horse,
Goddamn nobody’s safe.
When I saw Grace’s eyes,
I ate all her lies,
Gimme some good advice now!

No Way

I’ve done it all
But they do all forget
Bout me
Waiting around
I still have no regrets
I’m on my own
Run run hurry away
From me
Leave me alone
By myself
Can manage all, so
No Way
I won’t cry tonight
No way
I won’t draw my knife
There’s no way
I won’t cry tonight
No way
I won’t draw my knife,
Baby, no way.
Above me ground
My nails
Digging dirt
Again
It’s my right
I’m living life my way
I’ve done it all
I’ve done a goddamn lot.
And even more
Awaiting applause
For me
But my body’s hit by stones
Way
I won’t cry tonight
No way
I won’t draw my knife
There’s no way
I won’t cry tonight
No way
I won’t draw my knife,
Baby, no way.

My lips on her skin
She’s velvet butterfly
We fly over the knife
I’m a gunner
My lips on her skin
So lucky days go by
I can see the rest of my life
I’m a lover
I feel she’s a moon
mon amour
I feel she’s mine
For sure
My lips on her skin
It smells like summer time
Touching gently her scar
Now and forever
My lips on her skin
Our hearts will never die
Holy day, holy bar, holy heaven
Why do they want to fight for nothing
Claim it’s all amazing
Why do they need to fight for nothing
Break me, drive me crazy

Fort H.H.G.

I don’t wanna face this
I’m not gonna lie
Gimme the last kiss
This time I’m gonna fly
He’s like a fort now
He’s like a dirty breeze
You can hear the wolves howl
It sounds like Please the Trees
Welcome to happy hunting ground
Buffalos run all around
He’s like a blue light
He is like a thin white line
Look at this dead weight
It smells like turpentine
The Devil is a cowboy
Maybe it’s time to pray
But then it’s time to enjoy
What else to say
Welcome to happy hunting ground
Buffalos run all around
The Devil is a cowboy
Maybe it’s time to pray
But then it’s time to enjoy
What else to say
Welcome to happy hunting ground
Buffalos run all around

Morning after morning
Nice to see you
Into youth
More wings I want more wings
I want to lie and I want to fly
Slowly do it slowly
We have time
Just me and you
Lonely I’m so lonely
Come to me
I’ll buy the farm
Wait and share the song
Just wait and share this song
Please just wait and share the song
Just wait … say

I walk the street
Oh my sweet
The night is lazy
No one speaks to me at all
There’s no time
There’s no crime
The night is hazy
A bloodstain on the wall
Love, Home, Fear’s gone
Love, home
Now she stands by me
In this story God’s just a girl
In this story nobody’s lying
In this story love’s everywhere
And Black Horse is my name.
I walk the street
Oh my sweet
My body’s shaking
Feels like I’m dancing on a ball
I got some wine, got some lime
The house is burning
She’s lying there
Like a doll

One Word
06:25

I have to say the last thing
I have to say one word
Before in hell I will be burnt
Before I lose my mouth
I lay down my guns calmly
I won’t be afraid
Please just give me one last chance
To have a chat with her
It makes my mind a stormy night
It makes my heart feel pain
Just like slat in open wounds
Like a cigarette scar
Let me say it finally
Let me see the end
Life used to be like rainbows
Good times will come again
I spent
Millions of years
Waiting for this day
Face to face with you
I don’t know what to say
I found all I need to know
Looking in your eyes
Now I have to roam the prairies
You are too proud to cry
So…
Millions of years
Waiting for this day
Face to face with you
I don’t know what to say
So…
