Look at how these eyes are shining
Imagine they do because of you
Look at how the weather's changing
Like your mood it'll do
Love exudation
We're all riverine
Everything you buy causes trouble
Cause objects refer to your mind
And in your moments of stillness
Silence you won't find
Detach from all what's useless
And kiss some lips instead
If you don't kiss enough, dear
Someday it'll make you sad
Love exudation
We're all riverine
Flow your dry arroyo
Obey your wildest stream
Kissing means you're living
Kisses be your guide
And some time when you're fragile
It'll repair your broken heart

Travel sick again

Lady I'm sick of all this travelling
Lady I'm sick of waiting around
Let's rent a flat somewhere in the mountains
And put our feet on together's ground
If I die now you won't know how to find me
And those lonely evenings when nobody's there
Soon when the springtime mingles with feelings
We'll miss so much that we'll have to share
Oh I'd love to kiss in the morning
And to caress you with a smile
Instead of weather by this monotony
But all I know – it may take a while
Oh how I crave for your similing
It's time to wipe those tears away
I cried too much as you were somewhere
We need some room right here to stay
If you feel bad and you're down on your knees
I'm sure I would help if I'd just find me a road
that'll take me to you, dear
But see now it's not that good for us
Oh let me beg like I am hopeless
Let me sing these songs of blue
Our time on earth is shorter than knowing
|:For all I know is loving you:|

He’s been attracted by
Another sad tune
That’ll help him cry
His helplessness, life’s asking “why”
Sounds arrogant
But never mind
Yes he has to die
Life’s a trembling lullabye
Life is another lie
Another reason to cry
Another low on high
Without a reason why
Without whiskey and rhye
Just another tie
He seizes upon uselessness
To no purpose
He’d been born to this earth
Talked some suicide, but never got that far
Now he’s yelling
Big stories at the walls
Cho
Oh since he’d been left alone
By his babydoll
He started poppin pills
And now if there’s a chance for him to regenerate
By the way I think it is too late
Forlorn this mate!

Song of the native

My mother is the earth
and my father is the sky
And above, they're all in me
meanwhile
My sister goes by moonlight
And my brother is the sun
Someday I talk to him
until she comes
And You you with your sorrows
You stockpiling too much
Let go and touch my mother
My father told me such

Gather round the ancient stone tonight
meaningful it is.
Just stare and watch it lying
transcending into bliss
And we hold the secret fear
Cause we charmed the snake at dawn
Agree with the moments given you
Until the doorways into past
And those to future disappear
And only this one lasts
And we draw our path between
And believe in what we've seen
Unicorns are there to make amends
And angels to transmit
Language from some higher sphere
So don't you think just sit
And we move on like we're dumb
Unicorns...forgotten ones
Words once were objects once were tools
Before they became words
Now you could no longer talk like that
Of hidden paths and sacred birds
And we are so sure of truth
But we still fight ourselves
Here's some advice from outer space
The great snake told me that
You've got the key to travel light
And act like Mohammed
And then watch you disappear
Into bliss, into no fear

Did you hear the fire whistling
Around your wooden home
Did you feel the warmth get to you
While you were cold way to the bone
See what's happening was nothing special
Was nothing you would understand
They burn you because you're finished
And you had nothing to defend
What's wrong with dying? Well what is not
In case you haven't lived before!?
Well if you haven't lived a good life
Sweet death won't be to sore!
You earned what's happening says some wise man
Because your Karma took you there
Well what is Karma you'd add quickly
If I was meant to not take care
