Ikean Cuba

Hey baby
Wanna ride to see?
all the salty streets
of love and creed

I got everything but the one I need
Can´t go back so here I sleep
Loving all the lights and the purple bleed
This is my home and what I need

Let´s roll down to the Ikean Cuba
Smoke all the puros that they can offer
Don´t mind the fuzz,
just miss the bus
Easy living and smooth crimes
Try to spell all the words you know that rhymes
with lies

It´s just a coconut
but we can laugh all we want
While we roll down to the Ikean Cuba
I might miss something
and you might
kiss

You know sometimes it´s hard for me
to realize that I´m not asleep
That I live and breath
Like when you used to know me

You shouldn´t leave me alone
´cause I might be myself
I feel like the waves
might take my breathe away

I´m not sure anymore
but can you recall
How we used to dance every floor
It doesn´t matter
how pretty we are
All we still do
is fall apart

It´s just a coconut
but we can laugh all we want
While we roll down to the Ikean Cuba
I might miss something
and you might
kiss

It´s just a coconut
but we can laugh all we want
While we roll down to the Ikean Cuba
I might miss something
and you might
kiss

She

She´s been there all along
Covered in needs and storms
She wants to love all that´s gone
and write the perfect songs

The wait´s been long as the scarp´s been strong
The metal in the wine,
all the good in the wrong
She wants to break free and run
where she was never born

And wait
wait ´til the room is filled with fishes
bath streaming like an eager river
As she dives in to seek dreams and wishes
the kinds that makes both of her shiver
Blue water and bluegrass
Sad songs sung with a smile
Gravitation takes over as the times pass
Let her float there for a while

Don´t confuse your life with happiness
don´t you mix up love with lust
She tells her self to get over it
This might be just another thrust

Oh, she loves you, she always has
But what is there to give
when nothing lasts
Nothing´s given without a promise
No one to meet without a pass

And glare
The brilliant and crass bloom
When they´re supposed to rendezvous
like mornings when the Sun shoos the Moon
That´s how she stares at you
You are Life
but she doesn´t know how to live you
She wants to write you right
but she doubts how to spell you

So she´s hiding there in the heights
Waiting for the right time to fall
And all of the passing lights
might be the sign to enter on

She´s dirty and covered with twigs
She might be old
but she knows her tricks
She wants to know how to dive
into the city that can´t be fixed

And hide
into the vortex of reality
and white foam of bizarre dreams
Learn to love with blue serenity
Poise with Sun beams
´Cause you´re Life
and she wants to know how to feel you
though the world doesn´t seem right
She wants to know how it feels to hold you

Wrapped Up So Good

House of cards
in the house of Gods
What´s mine is yours,
you can´t lose what´s lost

I have antique silverware stuck in my head
Old, moldy carpets wrapped around my legs
My arms can´t move,
my mouth is full of butterflies
Your arms can´t hold me
´cause they´d tell nothing but lies
And your honesty lies beneath your touch
And my modesty lies beneath the trash that doesn´t speak much

I have called you to find me,
but the wind keeps on hushing
I waited for you to need me
but my flesh is turning to mush and
I guess I´ll sleep alone
while I turn into bones
I guess you don´t need to come
´cause you already gave me some
And your generosity ran out just last night
And my curiosity killed my last feline life line

Knight or pawn
in this game of Gods
What I won had it´s cost,
you can´t rule out the loss

We had dust in our love since it began to bloom
Little crickets writhing in our sugar spoon
You should´ve danced me to the moon,
fuck,
I should´ve pranced like never before
But here I am, singing to the stars
You carried me, though
so I shouldn´t mind the fall

You keep on laughing like you never laughed with me
I´ll keep your secret, ´cause I´m here to keep
I see you never meant to hurt me
but here I am, wrapped up so neat
The stars start to turn into flashes
memories turn into heart beats
Your favourite girl is tucked in, ready to sleep
Lullabies in bass lines, deep
Butterflies hatch out while the final verse is sung
But after a while nothing really ever begun

Haunted Down

Don´t mind me
I´m just passing through
You can get in front of the line
if that´s what you want to do

You didn´t mind me
If you did you would´ve asked
You wanted to be the first
I never wanted to be your last

I got so tired of trying
though I didn´t understand I never had to
I didn´t understand the point of lying
and just realised I didn´t see what was true
Just saying
I always wanted it to last

The fool´s on me, I know
I thought seeing you sad meant you didn´t want to let go
Maybe you always wanted to leave
but you didn´t want it to show
I´d give anything to wipe your tears once more
and just let you know
You were the one
and you will be forever more

I know there were reasons
why we are now here like this
Feeling down and pointless
Small, sad and ruthless
You being the only one
who´d take my hand and say
it doesn´t have to be like this

If I close my eyes,
will you whisper?
If I fall asleep,
will you kiss me?
If I let go,
will you catch me
like you never said you would

Don´t mind me
I´m just passing through
You can get in front of the line
if that´s what you want to do

I´m just looking anyway
if there´s something special for me
But I will ramble on
after seeing all I have to see

I´m tired
I´m tired of making any offers
I´m wired
I feel I´m on the edge all of the time
So I´m taking time, counting memories
dissapointed with the humanity
Feeling betrayed by love,
by hate and all that´s around me

I told you once or twice at least
I´m dark inside and in killing spree
If you cut my heart, I would cut you
never thought I first had to cut my self free

But if I close my eyes,
will you hear me?
If I´ll never wake up,
will you fear me?
If I let go,
I don´t need to be cathed by
I don´t need to be saved
´cause I´ll haunt you down

Baby

Hello
I´m a fool
and I love him

I captured, got
and I lost him

I have nightmares on Mondays
and his hair doesn´t smell like it should
I´m haunted or maybe just scared

I have a yellow summer dress somewhere
I´m dreaming of autumns when I´m afraid
Last time was meant to be for good
but I keep on forgetting

There was touches and fingers gliding
Deep breathing and long gazes
Too many thoughts and too much words
Songs that didn´t mean anything after all

Hello
I´m a fool
but I love him

I looked, waved
and I miss him

I wonder where this all comes from
and realize the butterflies may be moths
I´m crazy or maybe just lost

I have songs played on repeat if I want to
I´m drinking red wine in case of emergencies
Late nights used to be for dreaming
but one time my eyes opened up

My old couch gathered up friends and memories
Rumours and poetry
Make up, hand jobs and cruelty
Songs that didn´t mean anything after all

Hello
I´m a fool
I betrayed them

I smiled, danced
and forgot them

These songs of weddings and tears,
getting married and buried
I´m fun only when I´m dancing, eyes shut

I have stories I´m too afraid to tell
I have memories I remember too well
I could have words if I wanted to burn in hell
and I´m worried if I don´t have a soul to sell

I have trips and tours behind me and on my mind
I have unicorns and velvet jungles no one can find
I have houses and babies and white fences
and I´m most afraid I don´t have enough time

I´ve been too afraid to watch some shows
and a bit too scared to listen some songs
It seems to be too hard for me to let go
and too difficult to trust anyone I know

Hello
I´m a fool
but I love him

I choose, I want
and I need him

I wonder what happens if I let myself be,
choose to dance and live wild and breathe
Write my stories untold, set them free
Believe in all of the you love me's

What if I´m a fool
and happy to say
I got loved
the best possible way

Maybe I´m going to Rome

Maybe I´m going crazy
or just staying insane
I can´t keep you out of my mind
and I can´t forget your face
Your way of loving me
moves me time to time
My ways of losing you
is all I have sometimes

Maybe you are the one
with your striped shirt on
and your finger in my mouth
Maybe you´re just a passer by
with just as chapped lips as mine
The cuts will heal in time

We can´t be the only ones
there must´ve been true love before
All my life I´ve been waiting
but now I feel it´s long gone
Maybe I´m just crazy
not to keep you for a fool

It´s been years since I last did this
and I keep on going back in time
I remember the way you looked
when you looked at me for the first time
Maybe it wasn´t just a moment,
maybe it started a life time

Maybe I´m going crazy
or just keeping myself insane
Maybe you´re not the one,
maybe you´re just a game
Your way of kissing me
is the best way of saying take care
Your way of looking at me
says all and nothing, it´s fair

You don´t need to tell me lies
and I don´t need to act surprised
You don´t know sometimes I lose my mind
and lately it´s been lost to you
So fuck all that´s right and mind
I need to have the right to stay true

I´ve lost myself to you,
my mind is inside of you
my heart got stuck
in the sole of your shoe
I must be going crazy
to think I don´t need you
´cause I already know
your going to give me the blues

I may be sitting on this table
writing and crying away
But I need to see it coming
and I´m just not going to wait
If I don´t have you
I´m going to have this coffee cup of mine
and if I won´t have you
I have the next one waiting in line

Maybe I´m going crazy
or just wishing to stay sane
But I feel like there´s nothing
that could kill off this flame
I keep going back in time
to visit you my friend
and if it´s meant to be
you will look at me the same way

Hello

Hey
I know our seconds have felt like decades
and I don´t even know do I have anything more to say
I guess your words are lost in the sea
and I keep on forgetting too easily

What is there tomorrow
if I start gambling today
I keep counting the moments and
I can´t keep the numbers straight

I don´t know could you change my mind
but I know I can´t play against the time
I feel like I have all the cards but
never a full hand or a winning line

Hey
I don´t know which of these feelings I feel most
and I feel like a fraud for quite a good reason
I know I´ve made promises and I think I believed them
but lately I´ve felt like I need to run

I know I may not win anything
I know I may break everything
But I don´t even know who I am
maybe I need to feel what it´s like to get broken
I just want to do it without breaking a thing

I am lost and I feel like I need to save my self
I feel I´m running miles everyday
Maybe it doesn´t change to anything better
but I feel like I can´t keep fooling us this way

And it´s nobody´s fault but mine
I feel like I can´t keep losing more time
or more of my mind
Maybe this is the way I´ll lose it all but
I know I need to look so I could find

Turned into a Witch

Who am I
and who do I kid
when I keep on pretending
yet do not know shit
I want you to want me
ask me who am I
But I can´t look inside you
´cause I can´t tell the truth from lie

You are my only one
even when you´re not alone
You know I´ve got company
and I´m not always at home
I don´t know who I should be
or who I´m meant to be with
But I do know I was supposed to
turn into this witch

Turn into this witch

Who are you
to turn me into this
to make me love your arms
and your stupid shit
I need to remember these nights
so I´ll never get cold
But we can´t ever promise
that we won´t get old
We won´t

I got a bad reputation
because I wanted to fly
I know they look at me differently
when I wave them goodbye
They don´t know why I´ve turned into
turned into this bitch
But I will tell you, baby,
I was always meant to be a witch

Since I was 10
and dreamt of a kiss
I was meant to be a witch
Since the yellow meadows
and the summer bliss
I was meant to be a witch
Since the long walks to home
and the rules I missed
I was meant to be a witch

Who am I
to feel this way
Like I have an option
to be happier another way
And who are you
to show me love
When I´m the lowest
and in need of a fall

You are the only one
I tell these lies
It makes you special,
it makes me vile
But since 1996
I was meant to be a witch
and I didn´t believe this
until I found out I didn´t sink
I turned into this witch

Since I was 10
and dreamt of a kiss
I was meant to be a witch
Since the yellow meadows
and the summer bliss
I was meant to be a witch
Since the long walks to home
and the rules I missed
I was meant to be a witch

Make Me Real

Do you want to see all the shining black cars with me
and drive down the parkway to the beach
and can you imagine me and you walking down the shore
I´ve always thought you wouldn´t have no boots on
and you´re footprints would tell the long story short
as the waves wiped them and blurred out the marks
You once told me the change was gonna come
and I didn´t believe you until the steps were long gone

Do you want to make me real?

Do you want to swim with me to the rock in the horizon
and plan to swim back by night
and could you stay there if I asked you to
if our warm bodies could save us some time
I´ve always imagined you walking bare foot
and driving the car with black leather boots
But most importantly I never thought I could lose
Lose myself in you
You once told me the change was gonna come
and I believed the moon more than I believed you

Do you want to make me real?

Do you believe me if I say I´ve listened to your heart beats
while you were sleeping, while you were dreaming
I´ve touched your skin in my dreams
and watched you live and believing in me
I always wanted to be real
and you were the only one to hear me weep
in the old rooms, warm afternoons
I was almost close enough for you to feel
but in the end you needed to see me

If you want to make me real
come to the beach and drive me down the streets
I´ll stay in your rear view mirror if you need me,
keep you safe while you drive through the night
If you want to make me real
look for me in the streets, cold mirrors and city lights
I´ll wait for you in your bed at night
Even though you´ll find just the cold sheets

If you want to make me real
believe in me and call my name
When you´re feeling lonely, imagine you can see me
in this summer dress you chose for me
If you want to make me real
remember your promises you made when I was alive
remember that even a ghost can feel
If you really believe in me,
swim the warm summer thrills towards me
You know I´ve loved you since the beginning
and for that I don´t need to live

Sometimes I´m afraid to die
´til I remember I already had my time
And then I´m scared of losing you
´cause if you let me go I´ll stay lost in you
So I wish you to make me real,
to have footprints just like you

Turned into Cinder

We thought we had it,
we already got so close
We got the vine in our hands
and forgot it wasn´t a rope
I caught you sleeping,
you got me naked
We didn´t have the time as we thought

We don´t even know what we want
even though we say all the I want you´s
The dark gets us everytime
howling at the moon
as the light has gotten quicker
it turns us into fools

I just want you to say
you won´t ever forget me
you won´t ever
you won´t ever
you won´t ever forget me

How many times have we done the same mistakes?
Really, count them, count them now
How many times have I whispered your name
while watching you wave
while watching the planes
while watching his heart break

How many times have we closed the last page?
The sheets thrown out and away
How many times have you closed my eyes to say
start making up your mind
start building up your life
start to live to be mine

You just want me to say
you are not alone
you are not
you are not
you are not alone

Please let me know when to come back home
I need somebody to guide me as you need someone to call your own
Please let me move on towards the light
I need somebody to fool me the future´s always bright
You have been a dream I lost
You have been a beast to get caught
You have been too much to me
and I have turned into cinder these days
I have turned into cinder
I have turned into cinder
I have turned

I just want you to say
you won´t ever forget me
you won´t ever
you won´t ever
you won´t ever forget me

How long will it take to stop feeling a thing?
Really, how many days?
How long will it take to stop liking this game
which will never be won
which will never be played alone
which won´t end before someone breaks

How long can someone walk on home?
One step forward and at least three back
How many steps can be taken alone
without saying it´s too cold
without saying I told you so
without saying I need to let you go

You just want me to say
you are not alone
you are not
you are not
you are not alone

I thought I got you
You told me I was a fool
As more you dripped between my fingers
the more I thought I wanted you
I caught you sleeping
and lost you to the planes
So you never saw me,
sometimes just called my name
I kept telling myself it´s fine
´cause my memories kept me sane
You have been too much to me
and I have turned into cinder these days
I have turned into cinder
I have turned into cinder
I have turned
