God in My Bed
Before last night my heart was grey
Like my country is today
Big kaleidoscope I see
A thousand people gaze at me
To break the ice I start to sing
About a cell called everything
A cell so big a word like small
Is suitable to say it all
Is the fighting over?
I lost track
Like a wave it all comes back
Same kaleidoscope I see
Someone standing next to me
It's hard to do, it's hard to try
Hard to stop wondering why
Do I keep filing every case
When the answer's on your face
You can't see her but you do
Music is transparent too
So join me, sing with all your might
Hallelujah, praise tonight
Far away and long ago
Wintertime meant feeling low
Now every single star looks bright
God was in my bed last night
If You're Not Scared
Outside it's raining, still you
shine
How I've missed your trembling hands
inside of mine
I've been away for ages, still you
care
Do you count the Sundays when I'm
there
Teach me how to watch this game
The way you see it through your
magical frame
Time is ticking, try to see
That I am you and you are me
Don't deny that you're afraid to go
Don't deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children
grow
I feel love in every sigh
If you're not scared, then why am I
Tell me stories, tell me more
Make me feel guilty for being bored
Tell me how to pick up things I've
dropped
Please keep talking, never stop
Don't deny that you're afraid to go
Don't deny that you want to cry
Look around and watch your children
grow
I feel love in every sigh
Pray for eternity to fly
Don't understand but how I try
If you're not scared, then why am I
Try to Get Some Sleep
There's a reason, so well hidden
Why I was torn apart from you
Like a song I've never written
Like a joke without a clue
No, I don't want to close my eyes
and think of you
How I'd like to get you back
But He won't let me
How I'd like to sing the songs
We knew by heart
"Farewell" sounds really
cheap for pain you left me
And it is growing mushrooms in my
heart
No, I don't want to close my eyes
and think of you
I want to try to get some sleep
But it is hard, can't take the leap
(I'm going to try to get some sleep)
I'm going to try to get some sleep
Join the great subconscious club
I'm going to try to get some sleep
But I'm afraid to wake up
Do you realise I don't know what to
do?
Did you become just an idea, are you
still real?
Do you still have that snapshot that
I gave you?
Oh don't answer me, it wouldn't
change the way I feel
Do you feel as if you're having a
ball?
Oh, I guess, I hope you don't feel
anything at all
I'm going to try to get some sleep
Join the great subconscious club
I'm going to try to get some sleep
But I'm afraid to wake up
I'm going to try to get some sleep
Join the great subconscious club
I'm going to try to get some sleep
But I'm afraid to wake up
Try to get some sleep
Not an Addict
Breathe it in and breathe it out
And pass it on, it's almost out
We're so creative, so much more
We're high above but on the floor
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel
alive
If you don't have it you're on the
other side
The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts, there's no
more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so hot
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel
alive
If you don't have it you're on the
other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a
lie)
It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
(Nothing means a thing to me)
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel
alive
If you don't have it you're on the
other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a
lie)
Free me, leave me
Watch me as I'm going down
Free me, see me
Look at me, I'm falling and I'm
falling.
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel
alive I feel...
It is not a habit, it is cool I feel
alive
It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel
alive
If you don't have it you're on the
other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a
lie)
I'm not an addict...
Julian
I was feeling awful and I had too
much to drink
And I could only get a bit better if
I just knew what to think
I wanted to caress you and to hold
you in my arms
I wanted you to touch me while you
strangled me with charms
Raise your glass for love, for
Julian
I took you to my bedroom with just
one thing to do
And only seconds later you were me
and I was you
And in silence there together, with
the moon born on that vine
My mother woke me up and asked me
whether I was fine
This one goes out to you, my Julian
You were too beautiful to look at
and to talk with far too kind
So all that's left is a picture of
you scratched, inside my mind
Raise your glass for love, for
Julian, my Julian
Ol'5
On my mind all went so quickly, I
went licketly splickly, out to my old '55
I pulled away slowly, feeling so
holy, God knows, I was feeling alive
And now the sun's coming up, I'm
riding with Lady Luck,
on a freeway, cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
and I leave the parade
Just a wishing I'd stayed a little
longer,
Oh, don’t you know, the
feeling's getting stronger
It's six in the morning, you gave me
no warning;
I had to be on my way
Trucks are all passing, and the
lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.
And now the sun's coming up, I'm
riding with Lady Luck,
on a freeway, cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
and I leave the parade
Just a wishing I'd stayed a little
longer,
Oh, don’t you know, the
feeling's getting stronger
On my mind all went so quickly, I
went licketly splickly, out to my old '55
I pulled away slowly, feeling so
holy, God knows, I was feeling alive
And now the sun's coming up, I'm
riding with Lady Luck,
on a freeway, cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
and I leave the parade
Just a wishing I'd stayed a little
longer,
Oh, don’t you know, the
feeling's getting stronger
Dad
I was a kid, you were my dad
I didn't always understand
I wanted freedom, you got mad
You were concerned, I got upset
I didn't recognize you yet
And did you cry, I know I did
When I lied to you
I didn't want to hurt you
I just never knew I did
You never told me that you loved me
I know you didn't know how
I guess that shows we're much the
same
'Cause I love you too and until now
I've never said those words out loud
I hope you're proud
To be my dad...
What are your secrets, do you pray
Is there a god that shows your way
I wish I knew...
Do you have crazy fantasies
What happens in your dreams
I want to know...
I guess you'll always be a mystery
to me
But you taught me how to value life
And what else do I need
I have a dad who watches over me
