new in this world
crawling at your feet
we’re not ready yet.
what you did is a shame
everyday the same
every baby will rise
and take over this world
clean the mess we did
new and stubborn
you can surrender
to the police state
our today is a shame
the future all the same
please look in the mirror

roll faster on the highway
let’s go down to the see
we’ll give the kids away
we’ll be alone you’ll see
your mother had no choice
don’t worry they’ll be right
you keep saying i wound you
i don’t, never
it’s so complicated and equally simple
the road is wide open so where will be home?
the colours on your nails slowly disappear
slowly disappear
what’s your preference?
italy, cambodia
roll faster on the highway
i wann find the see
a secret remote place
for no one else but we
the travel to the island
on a taxi motorbike
you’re less afraid and
i keep following behind
what’s your preference?
italy, cambodia

The Swing Of Life
04:34
|
|||
|
swing the life in me
lose all your habits
change every clothes
you can’t expect magic
in every moment
in every silent
we’re imperfect winners
but we will rise again
swing the life in me
we’re overlords
scared as fuck
we’re not alone

Children
03:56
|

|
nothing can stop us
from loving right now
we hurried all the pain
on a sunday morning
today’s bright, today’s new
it’s the only thing we need
we are children
trapped in grow up bodies
we’ll escape the further we can
it’s the best that we can do
today, we’re children
nothing can stop us
from living right now
we should enjoy every moment
slowly
today’s bright, today’s new
it’s the only thing we need
we are children
trapped in grow up bodies
we’ll escape the further we can
it’s the best that we can do
today, we’re children

An Oak Table
03:47
|
|||
|
can i borrow your pen?
to draw a sun over the house
i always screw up trees
the dads and moms
the old and young
everyone gather around
an oak table
the oak table
christine is drunk
the old man dance
sleeping under the table cloth
leaving the rulers
drink their old wine
we celebrate and we regret

Spiders Territory
02:24
|
|||
|
old abode
in the empty attic
spiders territory
souvenirs
a someone grandfather
the war the good old times
don’t get attached
to this place
it’s gonna burn someday
home is where
the heart is

Fade Away
04:19
|
|||
|
the fire burns and fade away
nothing remains after all
we’re clean of every
sin we made
i don’t know if we
get to try again
life goes fast and fade away
fasten your seatbelt
it’s time
we’re clean of every
sin we made
i don’t know if we
get to try again
on attend toujours quelque chose et lentement on espère
pour le meilleur pour le pire mais on ne peut s’en défaire
et quand il n’y a aucun signe on s’enfonce dans un abime
car la vie s’écoule si vite et dans le temps imparti
il nous faudra réussir avant de s’évanouir

Farewell
03:38
|
|||
|
farewell, mister, go away
farewell, goodbye, à jamais
you are just impossible
you are unforgivable
farewell, mister, go away
farewell, goodbye à jamais
this man, with the crooked teeth
this man is nothing you need
farewell, à jamais
