Want to be the wolf

I´ll suck on that pencil
while trying to get my groove on
and trying to get on that flow
and get some

Sugary orange soda on the side
now with me and on my lips
we´re both waiting for the summer
to get some

You squint because it´s too bright
and forgot your cheap sunglasses
I´d offer you mine
if I got some

I guess I want to be the wolf

You´ll suck your lips dry
on that hot afternoon
because you´re too kind to ask
do I mind

This is my last one, you´ll see,
and I can´t afford another one,
and baby it´s been the only thing
in my mind

You say there´s something
that might help me choosing
might help me let loose and
change my mind

But I guess I want to be the wolf

Let´s just save the whole cake and eat it

Chew your bites well, boy
and remember better next time
not to cleave a too big piece
when your plate couldn´t hold mine
I won´t waste too much time on this
´cause I know I wouldn´t like the sight
I wouldn´t look too good on you
but I know we would fit so tight

Choose carefully what you´re saying
´cause I´ll remember every word
But don´t you worry, honey,
I will never say a word
I´ll forgive so very easily
though I will never forget
But there´s nothing to say
´cause we´ve hardly ever met

You may be the hurricane on the street
but I´m the rock down the road
and I´ll stay right there
and never let go
When in need of a haven just ask me
to be your girl and come back
I won´t give you heaven just bacause
I´m easy like that

Remember you need to clean up your own mess
and I blame it all on you, too
I´d like to think I don´t hold grudges
even if you didn´t take me with you
But like he said boys and girls will dream
and I dream a lot of things
Hey, we´re all grown up now
though it doesn´t mean a thing

You must think you´re so clever
but you don´t even know
How many times I´ve looked the other way
though I stared just a moment ago
I like to play those kinds of games
and I like to play with you
You must get something out of it too
maybe ´cause it feels so good

Don´t speak with your mouth full
and everything goes smooth
I know I dream, lay and lie
´cause it´s hard to stick with the truth
So you don´t need to worry, hey
just let the dogs bark
Colours are what they are
but we look better in the dark

End Up Burning

You know I also hate
slow songs
And my home is where my heart is,
right,
in the forest, in the city streets and in
Palm Desert and
Venice Beach

Let´s go there
and let´s ride
You know the summer´s hot
just the right kind
When you sing to the songs
that were born a long time ago
And your skin is moist
Misty of your choice
to stay here with us
Ride our special bus

I don´t have a licence and
I don´t know how to play that way
but I don´t mind
´cause I prefer to sleep,
weep and cry, laugh in my mind
crawl by your side
and stay that way
Listen to the wind howl
and the sun rustle the day

Let´s swim and dive
Let´s try to break the walls
to the Other Side
You remember that time
and so do I
So rise and get up
and take us with and fly
Let´s go for a ride

We can do it all night
once we start to do it right
Watch as I move and move on to you
You think the music´s over
but then it takes all over you
That´s the ride that feel´s real good
and looks like you feel like it too

Take a swim with us at noon
when there´s no one else in sight
That´s the only way to get you
cooled down after morning
And the weather tries to fool
that if you get any more thermal
and if you add any more fuel
You might end up burning

Touch the skin
like it´s forbidden to dream
We won´t break even though
we´ll bend
And the sun keeps us warm so
we can sleep under the sky
Dive into the night

I´ll always take my time trying to work up the disguise

It´s been a long time
since I met you
But you´re always coming back
so it´s hard to get over
though I´ll always get on through

It´s hard to understand
that you were a boy
now you are a man
Big cities weeping
trying to hold on to
your father's name
and your mother's land
But you´ll get by
Take my word and then
take my hand


You don´t need to know the truth


I really think I know what you´re saying
I mean I really do
feel like I´m inside of you
Your words in my mouth
and the other way around
Resuscitation
So don´t take me for a fool
I may be alone but
I´ll never get lonely
with this set in my head
with words that I´ve been fed


You don´t need to know the truth


So, "hey, what I can help you with"
is the closest thing to a real conversation
That way I´ll get some more than just
helping you out with a cheap salvation
Nobody knows that everybody knows
They just keep quiet, hush,
waiting for the riot
You´re not listening to what I say
You´ll nod and think I don´t know
your kind and your way
I´ll smile and hey,
everything´s okay
Hey


You don´t need to know the truth


Yeah there´s been time
it´s been passing just fine
Though years and weeks go by
Look at me now like I need to be looked by
you and your kind
And I´ll live by it´s power for a few days
I´ll dance and spin in that rusty cage
I´ll roll another day in that haze
Though I could just say

It´s hard to understand
that you were a boy
now you are a man
You live day by day
in a future that's never been planned
in my head soft as beach sand
Move on
Walk over me
though I will hold on
Do it before I
walk on


You don´t need to know the truth
how long it will take
or how many days
or what is the way
But there´s something I can tell you
I got those new boots
that I´ll dance all over you
stomp until you´re glued
march until you´re through
Loving me and my boots


You don´t need to know the truth

I really liked this morning

I´ll take my time
and I´ll write that letter
But before all that
I want to feel a little bit better
Like this morning
And I like this morning
when I can wake up whenever I like
Look from the window
stare at the screen
Watch some movies
Brush my teeth
Kiss your cheek
Float in between

And I like that you like it
I like to be silent
I feel for you, babe,
but I can´t always be like that
I have this need to be happy
without any goals
I´m going to take my time
Take a trip,
drink some wine
Don´t want to wait in line
Stand tall,
still high
Not always asking why,
who´s going to die,
who´s living my life
Always that one step behind

But just like this morning
while waiting for something
I´ll start tapping the keys
trying to think of what to dream
or should I just dream the dream
or hunt it down
While I´m in the town
Shouldn´t I live, not frown
I stared at my forehead
somehow I started
Thinking how young I am
and still got wrinkles
My mind still tinkles
I really loved the movie Singles
so maybe something´s there
Now how did I get here?

I mean I should watch these thoughts float
just like in a boat
watching the sky
while the clouds glide by
Shouldn´t hang on those,
shouldn´t grab them,
but just let them go
I should already know
but there´s too much to think
Too much to see,
things I can sink in
things I can´t win
Places I haven´t been in
and places to dream
So here I go again
Again I´m in between

Thinking
Should I let go
or just leave
There´s countries out there
I haven´t seen
Different clouds to grab
but the sky´s still the same
People who don´t know my name,
they don´t know am I lame or
should I be tamed
Start all over
Find someone to understand
But who can do that
if even she can´t?
Maybe the problem here
is the past
So if I wouldn´t have that
I could turn my back
Have all that

All that I dreamt of
Everything this morning
I should break myself free and
watch some old movies
Do this
Make them believe it
Feel it
Just like in a concert
Wave the hair and hands,
do it for me
I don´t need the hate
nor glory
But I need to walk this path
alone or then you come with me
but then you need to hear me
Feel me
Don´t just roll your eyes
thinking you know me
Know the reasons,
but don´t see me

So once again
I went too far
maybe gave too little
or bursted out too much
I need to learn to ride my mind
Write my own stories
just the right kind
And just as I said
I can´t continue to wait in line
My turn already came
but the ticket´s the thing I can´t find
Maybe it´s ´cause I changed my mind
too many times
Looked everywhere,
afraid to look behind
I bet it´s there
and that´s just fine
I´ll take a new turn
Or maybe
I´ll just take a hike

On a Black Leather Couch

I need a new story
inspired by Led Zeppelin's III
Black boots
and wet streets

We don´t mind too much
if the eyes get a bit clouded
You know moist lips can´t keep
the steamy secrets

All the songs in and out there
yet haven´t found a home
The doors might be closed
but on that couch you´ll never
be left alone
The doors might be closed
but the couch is still warm
The doors might be closed
for now

Bare legs on a black leather couch
where the skin feels sticky
and the joints ache
Heads so messed up and
the hair´s the messiest kind
But the morning comes
at 3 p.m. with a smile

So I begin my story
by kicking the boots out of my feet
in 1972
Exile on Main St

With some luck we´ll rock´n roll
and we´ll roll whenever we feel
And you know I love that so
Pour some sugar on me

All the songs in and out there
yet haven´t found a home
The doors might be closed
but the couch is always free
as you know
The doors might be closed
but the couch is quite near
The doors might be closed
for now

Bare legs on a black leather couch
where the thirst will always surprise
and the bottle´s always too far
Mind´s trying to think back what
the eyes must have seen
And so the evening has come
and life feels like a dream

I need to tell a story
with some clacks and whir
The sound of an engine
telling you are him and I am her

If we close our eyes
it´s 1995's Cloudy skies
Though right now it doesn´t warm our skin
but the sun never lies

All the songs in and out there
yet haven´t found a home
The doors might be closed
but the couch is yours
alone
The doors might be closed
but the couch is right here
for now

Bare legs on a black leather couch
where the sin is shown from the eyes
and the mouth mourns for more
Body gets pushed back while
the other tries to tell that
Here´s the night for you
so don´t try to fight back

I try to start a story
with a black skirt and those boots
I look at you like I know something
And you know that´s the truth

I say, any year;
Stop breaking down
We try to build Tomorrow's world
that others can´t burn down

The doors might be closed for now
but the couch is always free
And I lay back on it,
pull you next to me
Smiling at you rumblin´
With your words, stumblin´
I lay my legs on the black leather couch
And there you are with me

The Lament of Blood and Tears

Such a pride being my father's daughter
and my brother's sister
when we drive down to nowhere
in that silver metal box

They look so adultlike,
in their hair-do's combed so fine,
they talk about everything
except the sadness and sorrow

They have their tidy jackets and trousers,
little dusty and little gritty
and they keep their hands tightly crossed or
behind the steering wheel

Their voices comfort when their words can´t,
and the eyes tell what the voices can´t
When there´s something that needs to be told,
they definitely won´t shout it out

I think of us three
as a powerful family tree
when we walk the dank path and
encounter at the end

When I apprehend that we are one and the same,
I count myself to them,
I can get through anything,
though my head should be smarter

They sit in a good posture,
their backs are strong and straight
They don´t want to be there
and in that we all are the same

There´s always a route back from nothing
and they are so eager to move on
I know they want to embrace life or
at least mourn it on their own

I feel like we are some kind of rebels,
with the need to get along on our own,
though we all are so dependent
at least on our name and freedom

So my brother waits for me
and my father knows we´ll wait for him
We say hellos and goodbyes,
we take care, we´ll handle anything

And I know he tries to fight it,
maybe he doesn´t even know
how strong the blood inside is
That it will never, ever, let go

I´ve had this pride in my family name
as long as I can remember
I asked about the eleven brothers
and smiled inside when I got the answer

My veins are filled with the same fuel,
it should be honesty, courage and truth
So I feel like I battle for the opponent
when I can´t stand straight
I stagger and I waver
I fall and I tumble
And I can´t even fucking shoot

My adventures

I like my earrings big as well
Though they might stick and hook
I´ve never really cared for that
I´ve never really cared for the truth
That´s all

I took his packet of cigarettes
Thought I´d do something with it
He threw it to the ground, it was already empty
It´s still in my green bag, trying to gather memories
I´m done

I know exactly what I´m doing
Is that why I feel like I´m lying?
If he likes my smile, I´m faking it
Babe, maybe I just like dying
Waiting

You could put me in a box
I wouldn´t mind
I´d put my red lipstick on, we´d laugh,
hugs and kisses, drinks, so fine
All the time

Once in a while I´ll change my face
I´ll cut my bangs or let them grow
I´m not the girl you thought you met
Run away by laying low
I´m not bad

I think I own the things I love
Like the woods, The Doors and Michael Jackson
It´s easier for me to fix my soul
With band-aid of my history
That´s it

My adventures belong to my mind
I´ve done them, I´ve made them,
a long, long time
The trip continues even in my dreams
Do I need to be free, do I need to be wild?

Someday I´ll cut the bad habit
of collecting memories and dreams
I´ll cut the package of cigarettes to pieces
Glue them on and kiss on the blank page
I´ll cut myself free

I know exactly what I´m doing
Is that why I feel like I´m lying?
If he likes my smile, I´m faking it
Babe, maybe I just like dying
Waiting

I like my fruits orange

When I´m feeling orange
It´s these autumns with reds and leafs
The houses and homes, roof tops and tiles
Apple trees are for the happy
I get mine for free

When I´m feeling orange
I wish someone next to me
A quiet stranger who wouldn´t ask
Who follows me to the next bench
Leaves me be

I like my fruits with colours
Peel them off and find out
What´s their secret that they can´t tell
That I´ll taste and give out bit by bit
They do know me

When I´m feeling orange
The scents are clear in the breeze
Hands are getting cold
Steaming air´s trying to fool me
That´s how I feel

When I´m feeling orange
I see the lights differently
The sun´s getting cold, candles giving life
City lights are just as home
It´s clear where I want to be

I like my fruits with colours
Make marks on them with my finger nails
That´s the secret I can tell
But you´ll never know
´Cause you can´t get inside of me

The shore is washed with wishes

Make a wish
I wish
I wish you´d blow when it hurts
When you look, I look, then you turn
I wish you´d ask me what´s going on
When I don´t reply, what´s wrong

Babe
What´s wrong

You wish
You wish I was somebody else
When I´m hurt, I wouldn´t tell
My eyes would tell a story
I couldn´t say, I´m sorry

Babe
I´m sorry

I´ll never give you anything in return
I´ll wish and take things I think I earn
I won´t look back, though I smile while I cry
I wish these words are the last goodbye
I really don´t mind
Really, I´m fine

Babe
I´m fine
