Ophelia's Attempt
03:56
|
|||
She talks to people who ain’t there
Her fingers know the ground
But her eyes ain’t around
Seems to be holding onto a galleon’s rail
Leaning on the cobblestones
Laughing at the devil’s storm
She struggles in her meadow
Sings the scarecrow
Don’t she dare willing
She makes things up inside her head
She stands alone with her body gone
In a very quiet and closed room
Opened to a deeper sea
Than the deepest clouds may be
She struggles in her meadow
Sings the scarecrow
Don’t she dare willing
Don’t she dare willing
Is there something rotten in this kingdom, she says
You wanted to love me
Before you crumpled me
In a very quiet and closed room
Opened to a deeper sea
Than the deepest clouds may be
She struggles in her meadow
Sings the scarecrow
Don’t she dare willing

Invisible Horses
05:01
|

We are dashing ghosts
We ride invisible horses
We may smile a bit
Rubble Men Standing
On The Wrong Side Of The Road
There's a town where nobody came Painted with gloom & shame
Not a single day a soul we met
Not a single night on a heart to bet
In this town where nobody came We took the time to settle down The both of us with bloom’n hat The both of us hiding with rats
‘Cause we are dashing ghosts
And we ride invisible horses
We may smile a bit
Rubble Men Standing
On The Wrong Side Of The Road
Through this town where nobody came
We shared our sense of fame
The city hall we took its head
The county jail we painted red
Around this town where nobody came
Two souls’n no fame
Two graves with no names
In the town where nobody came
We are dashing ghosts
We ride invisible horses
We may smile a bit
Rubble Men Standing
On The Wrong Side Of The Road
There's a town where nobody came
A town where nobody came

Dead Birdman Singing

Dead birdman singing
Sharing his surrender
With head in hands just singing
Giving up his splendor
Coming to an end
Not much to defend
Coming to an end
Just coming to an end
Mind the dead bird still mocking
You never know on which side he stands
While he’s coming to his end
Mind the dead bird still dreaming
You never know whether he’s down or strong
While he’s coming to his end
Mind the dead bird still feeling
You never know if he’s right or wrong
While he’s coming to his end
Dead birdman singing
Sharing his disaster
With head in hands just singing
Showing off with anger
Coming to an end
Coming to an end
With not so much to defend
Coming to an end
Just coming to an end

I met a blue bird
Standing on my rocking chair
Skulls dancing in the air
Skulls dancing in the air
And the blue bird singing
He hides no despair
There are no secrets to be shared
Just the echoes of a smile
Just the beauty of our smiles
And the blue bird singing
And in the meanwhile
The two of us with a vision to share
Don’t we fear no stranger
Don’t we feel no danger
While the blue bird’s singing

Dance Of A Funeral
04:07
|
|||
If you take a look at the picture on the wall
Near the fireplace and the broken bedroom door
You’ll see the glance of a strange eye
You’ll meet the dance of a funeral
Under a restless sky
Let the man remove the frame
Of his wounded blues
Let the man remove his frame
You’ll see the dance of a funeral
While you close your eyes through the darkened corridor
You will feel the kiss of your shadow on the floor
You’ll see the glance of a strange eye
You’ll meet the dance of a funeral Under a restless sky
Let the man remove the frame Of his wounded blues
Let the man remove his frame
You’ll see the dance of a funeral
You’ll see the dance of a funeral

Behind the curtains of the Donky King
Hides a Slug-man no-one’s ever seen
He sleeps in the closet with no spine
Lies on the ground without looking around
He won’t tell us what he feels
He hides the secret of the Dunky King
All things went wrong from the beginning
Said the Slug-man to the wall
Under the mighty mask of the Donky King
Grows a slug-man no-one’s ever heard
He doesn’t make a sound when he goes out
Tries to crawl without messing around
He won’t tell us what he needs
He hides in the shadow of the Donky King
All things went wrong from the beginning
Said the Slug-man to the wall
Throughout the eyeballs of the Donky King
Cries a Slug-man no-one’s ever heard of
He’s not the kind of man to show off
He’s the single officer in the back of beyond
He won’t ask us for a throne
He holds the backbone of the Dunky King
All things went wrong from the beginning
Said the Slug-man to the wall

Good Looking Dead Man
05:05
|

Good looking dead man
They know your name
Maybe a dead man but
You’ve got a name
Good looking dead man
They know your name
Maybe a dead man but
He was born on the other side
Somewhere east somewhere far
So far that we don't know
He was found on a sandbank
His face on the ground
His eyes were closed and drowned
Good looking dead man
They know your name
Maybe a dead man but
You’ve got a name
Did he cross the skyline
on a seagull’s back
Or did he swim a hundred miles
Before he found his ghost
Good looking dead man
They know your name
Maybe a dead man but
You’ve got a name

‘I wasn’t made for this world’
Said the man with a rope in his hands
I’ve walked a hundred miles
With you my friends
Over an ocean of wine
But my life is a bitch, my friends
My life is a bitch
Said the man with a rope in his hands
‘I did not fit in this world’
Said the man with a rope in his hands
I’ve laughed a thousand nights
With you my friends
Under a drunken moon
But time is a bitch, my friends
Time is a bitch
Said the man with a rope in his hands
‘I don’t get along with this world’
Said the man with a rope in his hands
I’ve climbed a million smiles
With you my friends
Over my lonesome town
But my town is a bitch, my friends
My town is a bitch
Said the man with a rope in his hands
‘I wasn’t made for this world’...

A Last Smile High Above
03:09
|
|||
He left the ruins with a smile on his face
He knew the secret rule
He carried no request
Just a bag and an old dance
Little beauty in hands
He had a home in a lost inner storm
He worked as a diver
And a wanderer
His vision of tomorrow
Was in the hands of a sparrow
And as he walked straight down to the road
He kept his smile on his face
No one to follow
But his love and a cold dance
Little money in hands
He crossed the line with no burden to hide
Beauty lied on his chest
He carried no disgrace
But the light of a romance
And no duty in hands
When you get to bury a smile you love
Keep your last one high above

In The Blink Of An Eye
05:21
|
|||
It’s a long way down
Before kissing the ground
Do I even know the call
When things go wrong
She used to back up my days
With just a kiss I must say
She used to pack up my days
With just a kiss I must say
Now that the storm is roaring
Nothing hurts my feelings
My will is burning
Almost turning to nothing
In the blink of an eye I shall never survive
In the blink of an eye I shall never survive
It’s a long way down
Before losing my mind
Do I even know the call
When things go wrong
Now that the storm is coming
Nothing hurts my feelings
My will is burning
Almost turning to nothing
In the blink of an eye I shall never survive
In the blink of an eye I shall never survive
