The Way Out
03:52
|
|||
|
It's late at night
and out of here it's cold so cold and so quiet
It's late at night
and Mercedes and Porches go away in milions of different ways
The long way out of here
The long way out of here
Soft dreams give us
a sweet piece of your wing
Soft nights give us
a new colour to sing
In the darkness without angels
hear the voices of hairless gosts
And the rain falling with the stars
will wet our faces without pain

Snake Running After
03:36
|

|
My God, My God I am afraid
the ugly reptile's on my tail
I'll start to run, fast as I can
and see if a snake can catch a man
The more I run the more he grows
the ugly beast gets close to my toes
I feel his breath, back of my neck
but Hell! I'll run him out until I wreck
Snake, snake, bite your tail
if you catch me I'll prevail
But man wins history shows
a snake is always at man's toes
Snake, snake bite your tail
if you catch me I'll prevail
But man wins history shows
a snake is always at man's toes
So if you catch me you ugly snake
I am gonna have to turn and fight
With fire I'll try to make you burn
with fire I'll try to turn you to light
Snake, snake bite your tail
If you catch me I'll prevail
But man wins history shows
A snake is always at man's toes
Snake, snake bite your tail
if you catch me I'll prevail
But man wins history shows
a snake is always at man's toes

Secret Island
04:30
|
|||
|
Green is the colour of your earth
blue is the sky and black the night
Mountains in time are calling our hearts
and your mistery always takes me
In your ways in your green fields
spirits run to celebrate secret rituals
Harmony, peace and religion
are painting my eyes again
Harmony, peace and religion
are painting my eyes again
Beautiful island point into space
light of my eyes you're a big surprise
Wonderful lace you're in my mind
like a summer of passion signs
In the temples along your way
with big stones and flowers surprise me
Women so quiet live without stress
like black pearls in the darkness
And your people are leaving with you
and my eyes are flying over you
And your people are leaving with you
and my eyes are flying over you
Beautiful island point into space
light of my eyes you're a big surprise
Wonderful lace you're in my mind
like a summer of passion signs
Beautiful Island point into space
light of my eyes you're a big surprise
Wonderful lace you're in my mind
like a summer of passion signs

Brain Heart Smile
04:49
|
|||
|
Come to my side and walk with me
Get over here and jump on me
Ask me why you breath the air
And don't ask where's my brain
I'm a man alone in the street
go on baby go get with him
Ask me why then you touch the sky
And don't ask where's my brain
Down the hall there's a sun
and the sun is in my brain
It's a beautiful day
Open the doors to your soul
to your soul
So hear me and thrill me
and see me through this bright day
This is a summer tale
when the white sun keeps falling on my head
Can't you see me cry
Can't you see me cry
But you can see me smile again
Can't you see me cry
Can't you see me cry
But you can see me smile again

The Tide's Return
06:30
|
|||
|
He's the time he comes into my room
a long looking-glass until the black side
This is one horizon I've seen before
and I will see you on the wings of a white cloud
This is the time that I long for
and I will see you on the wings of white cloud
And I don't know what I want now
And I don't know if I want you now
But I know where I wanna go with my life
with my life
There is only silence here on the beach by the sea
time runs slowly and I can hear you inside me
Please don't leave me now 'cause I'm feeling so alone
I'm one and all is one and time keeps returning
And I don't know what there is in space
And I don't know what is in your mind
But I see the settings in the sea
And life comes to me
And this is the tide's return
And you fly away with me
And this is the tide's return
the tide's return
the tide's return

The Man With Dreamy Eyes
03:59
|
|||
|
Sound is surrounding me in a golden town
because the sun is slowly coming down
I can feel something in the air
like my fingers through soft hair
Please come here my little friend
but you have something that I can't explain
The man with a green hat on his head
and a guitar on his shoulders
The man with a green hat on his head
and a jacket on his shoulders
He's playing dreamy songs in the air of this town
while the darkness of an eclipse is coming down
I can hear notes floating in the air
and I know why you're going, going there
Let me see your smile when you play
I can't explain the reason I must stay
Let me hear your tune strange and soft
but you have something that I can't explain
The man with a green hat on his head
and a guitar on his shoulder
The man with a green hat on his head
ad a jacket on his sholder

Get Away
05:56
|
|||
|
It's in the space
It's in the air
that I feel myself and my soul
in the wind on my face
Every man in the water
Every woman in the sun
can find themselves in charming things
can find themselves between sad thoughts
Get away through the time
Run away in our mind
Make a way to the sky
It's a way for us to ride
Get away through the time
Run away in our mind
Make a way to the sky
It's a way for us to ride
It's a true colour
We're on the border
days go down and night comes up
and we are with our hands up
Let us live
Let us breathe
with the sun in our bodies
and a smile in your days
Get away through the time
Run away in our mind
Make a way to the sky
It's a way for us to ride
Get away through the time
Run away in our mind
Make a way to the sky
It's a way for us to ride
