IT´S EASY IN
THE SMOKE IS THICK
THE LIPSTICK THICKER
THE MOMENT SWEET
THE MEMORY BITTER
NO WAY OUT, NONE I´VE SEEN
IT AIN´T EASY OUT, BUT IT´S EASY IN
I´M AS EMPTY AS A CHURCH
AS BLOATED AS A KING
SKIN LIKE PATCHWORK
STITCHED AND SEWN IN SIN
I´M A TICK TOCK SHORT OF TWELVE O´CLOCK
I´VE DONE THE WHOLE NINE YARDS
SMOKED MY CANDLE LIKE A CIGARETTE
LIT IT AT BOTH ENDS
WHEN THIS VESSEL GOES HARD
YOU CAN NAIL IT TO THE WALL
GOT MY PENNIES WORTH
BUT IT AIN´T HERE NO MORE
A SONG AND A RING TO MY LOVER I´LL BRING
HE´S WAITING FOR ME UP THERE
SOMEONE SMOKED HIS CANDLE WITH A SINGLE SHOT
THE LOVER THAT NEVER CARED
THE SMOKE IS THCK
THE BLOOD WAS THICKER
THE MOMENT SWEET
THE MEMORY BITTER
NO WAY OUT, NONE I´VE SEEN
IT AIN´T EASY OUT, BUT IT´S EASY IN
I´M WOUND UP LIKE A CLOCK
TIRED AS A WORKER BEE
THOUGHTS TASTE LIKE BLOOD
NOT HONEY
IN THE CASE I´M THE ACE SHORT OF A DECK
I´VE RUN AND RUN MY COURSE
NO TIME, MY CANDLE´S ALREADY SMOKED
THE FLAME FOREVER LOST

David Has fallen

DAVID HAS FALLEN
WHERE´S THE BUTCHER, WHERE´S THE BAKER
WHERE´S THE TINKER, WHERE´S THE TAILOR
WHERE´S THE TAVERN, WHERE´S THE INN
WHERE´S THE SIN
WHERE´S THE LAUGHTER, WHERE´S THE PEOPLE
JUST A BELL AND A RUIN WITH A STEAPLE
SOLD AND GONE HAVE MANY
FOR A BENT PENNY
EMPTY ARE THE HOUSES, QUIET ARE THE STREETS
FOR DAVID HAS FALLEN AND SAT ON HIS CROWN
SLOW IS THE DEATH OF THIS LOVELY LITTLE TOWN
THERE´S BLOOD ON THE WALLS OF THE LOCAL SHOP
TIMES ARE HARD AND SHALLOW IS THE POT
THE PEOPLE NEVER GATHER IN GROUPS
FORBIDDEN FRUITS

THE OPPORTUNIST
BLISTERED LEATHER TAN
MARTINI IN HAND, A DIRTY ONE
BATHED IN BUTTER AND THE SUN
SHE SAYS TOMORROW IT´S GONNA RAIN
I´LL BE DAMNED IF I AIN´T GONNA GET MINE TODAY
FOR THE PERFECT DAY
IT AIN´T HALF FULL ANYWAY
IT´S JUST A CUP AND I ALREADY SOAKED IT IN,
ALREADY LAPPED IT UP
HE SAYS IT AIN´T HALF FULL
IT AIN´T ANYTHING BUT A CUP
I ALREADY DRANK IT UP
THEY SAY TOMORROW I´LL WAKE UP OLD
I´LL BE DAMNED IF I DIDN´T SWALLOW EVERY GULP

I'm The Clown

I´M THE CLOWN
COVER YOUR EYES
THEY TELL ONLY LIES
AND THE TRUTH IS OVERDUE
I´M THE CLOWN
I EXCEED IN MISINTERPRETATION
BUT NOW I´M TIRED AND TRUE
UNSEEN, UNDEFINED
BEHIND THIS CLOUDED MIND
UNDER ALL THAT FILTH IT SHINES
I´M REFINED, YES, IT´S HARD
PRESUME THEY´ PAY MY RANSOME
FOR I´M EVIL TOO
COVER YOUR SMILE
I SEE YOU´RE NOT CONFINED
BUT YOU FAIL TO BE DIVINE
I´M THE CLOWN
ONE OF THOSE WHO FEEDS ON YOUR REDEMPTION
WITH AN EVIL COOL

STILL AIN’T GOT ME MINE
I WANT A FULL PLATE
I WANT A FULL POT
I WANT YOU TO BE THE KEY
TO DOT MY I-S CROSS MY T-S
I WANT IT FOR ME
PUT MY NAME IN LIGHTS
PUT MY FACE ON TV
PUT MY FINGER ON THE BUTTON
I’M READY TO PRESS
I COULDN’T CARE LESS
I WANT IT FOR ME
GET MY VOICE ON THE RADIO
GET MY SLOGAN ON THE SCREEN
GET MY THOUGHTS INTO THE ETHER
GET THE CROWDS TO GATHER AROUND
I WANT IT FOR ME
I’VE BEEN WAITING IN THIS DEAD END DO-GOOD SILLY LITTLE LINE
SAYING HAIL MARYS AND WAITING FOR A SIGN
OH MOTHER
I STILL AIN’T GOT ME MINE
SO GET IN LINE
IF YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD IT HARD
IT’S BEEN HARDER FOR ME
CAUSE I’VE GOT DREAMS
I’M READY TO SCREAM
I WANT IT FOR ME
I CAN FEEL MY EYES
SWELLING UP AT THE SEEMS
I’M GONNA LIGHT THIS LUCKY MATCH
THIS PLACE’LL BLOW
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I DID IT FOR ME
AND I’M STARTING TO ITCH
I’M SWEATING DEEP DOWN IN MY BONES
MY BLOOD IS BOILING OVER
I DON’T CARE HOW
GIVE IT NOW
THIS PLACE’LL BLOW
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I’M READY TO KILL
I’M READY TO THRILL
I WANT IT FOR ME

Is Everything Ok?

IS EVERYTHING OK MY DEAR
IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT MY DEAR
IS EVERYTHING OK
WHEN LIFE IS NOT SWEET,
WHEN IT´S A JOKER AND A CHEAT
IS EVERYTHING OK
IS EVERYTHING OK MY DEAR
IS EVERYTHING QUITE RIGHT
WHEN PRECIOUS ONCE YOU R WORD
SHOULDERS COLD AND BACKS NOW TURNED
IS EVERYTHING QUITE RIGHT
IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT MY DEAR
IS EVERYTHING OK
WHEN PLUCKED YOUR FEATHERED WINGS
WHEN CORNERED IS YOUR KING
IS EVERYTHING OK

INTO THE SHADOW
I CRIED THE SEA
ONCE IT WAS SHALLOW
SOMBER AND SWEET
STRAIGHT AND NARROW
WHEN I WITHDRAW
DRY IS MY MARROW
SO SILENT THE HOUR
BEFORE THE STORM
WHEN I WITHDRAW
INTO THE SHADOW
