WAVING FROM HADES
You know I got depressed and went for a swim
The current so enticing, it got me to spin
My life twirled around before my eyes
The water so clear I got hypnotised
I got to think about my role in the world
I wanted to share, but no one heard
I felt alone, but never mind
I’ll send for you once I reach the other side
A boatsman picks me up and he gives me a ride
He feels sorry for me fighting against the tide
He says, ”You know I’ve seen you in these waters before,
You keep on paddling but never reach the shore
It’s as if something holds you back,
Is it the love of life or fear of the dark?
Or sorrow for the ones you leave behind?
You know, there’s room for us all on the other side”
Watching my footprints disappear
Wish you were here
I’ll send you a postcard
Basking under an inverted sun
I miss you hun
I’ll send you a postcard
Sail away, Sail away
I’m waving from Hades
Sail away, Sail away
I’m waving from Hades
This world just seems so upside down
The laws of gravity don’t seem to bind
Kerberos is a sweet drooling dear
He's got three heads but i feel no fear
Sisyphos wants give his rock a try
Roses grow like blood drops
From the sky
It's a shame you can’t see them
But never mind
I picked a bunch for you
On the other side
Watching my footprints disappear
Wish you were here
I’ll send you a postcard
Basking under an inverted sun
I miss you hun
But I’ll send you a postcard
Sail away
Sail away
I’m waving from Hades
Sail away
Sail away
I’m waving from Hades
Sailing away
Sailing away
Sailing away
Sailing away
Broken down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs?
Share a smoke, make a joke
Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
Words to memorize, words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all fail the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs

Final Call

FINAL CALL
So this is the end
And this is where I stand
Oh, it's such a lonely habit
to run me over not facing the traffic
So you might have wiped me out
but there's nothing to win
Just let it in
Just let it in
Just let it in
Some girls just never gonna get it, never gonna get it
They just try and try
Some girls just never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Did you ever ask them why?
This is the final call for mr know-it-all for mr never-half-the-way
Some girls just never gonna get it, never gonna get it
What do you want me to say?
No eyes, no blood, no sweat
Just the same old wall
No direction home, you make me fall
To you I’m just a system error, troublemaker, definition of terror
So you might have wiped me out,
but there's nothing to win
Just let it in
Just let it in
Just let it in
Some girls….
Do you think he'll get away with it?
Get away with all that fancy shit?
Oh yeah he's gonna get away with it
Oh yeah he's gonna get away with it

TROUBLE ON LEGS
I dated a demon
I wanted his bad seed, man
But the more we kissed
The more he hissed
He bit my tongue in two
Oooh-oooh-No!
I dated a reverend
His legs ran up to heaven
But the more he preached
The more I reached
For the gutter that rang more true!
Oooh-oooh-No!Oh oh oh oh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh no!
Oh oh oh oh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh no!
What you seeing what you doing
What you’re lying what you’re truthing
Why am I even here?
Oh oh oh oh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh no!
So I dated a hobo
I slummed in the no-go
Got the chicken pox
On a cardboard box
And then he dumped me for a plate of stew!
Oooh-oooh-No!
I dated Prince Charming
His looks were so disarming
But in the fitting room I lost my groom
To the mirror on the wall
Oh-Oh No!
Oh oh oh oh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh no!
Oh oh oh oh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh no!
What you seeing what you doing
You’re lying and you’re truthing
Why am I even here?
Why why why why?
Noh Noh Noh no!
Trouble on legs
Trouble on legs
Trouble on legs
Trouble on legs
They walk all over you
Trouble on legs
Trouble on legs
They walk all over you
They walk all over you!
They walk all over you!

THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IS ONLY ETERNAL HELLFIRE
Suffocating earthwormbaiting
What do you do?
You try to
Pretend that you're fine
But you've got maggots
Crawling down your spine
You are to trying
To keep yourself sane, yeah
But you've got leeches
Sucking on your brain
So you dig
And hope you're digging up
But you 're digging down
Burrowing deeper underground
And then you think
You think you see the light
But only hell fire
Would burn that bright
You are opening your mouth
Trying not to choke
But all the creatures
Are crawling down your throat
And you are to trying
To escape from the rot
But you've got leeches
Eating at your gut
So you dig
And hope you're digging up
But you 're digging down
Burrowing deeper underground
And you think
You think you see the light
But only hell fire
Would burn that bright
So what do you do, what do you do, what do you do
With a ton of soil shoveled over you
So what do you do?
What do you do?
What do you do?
What do you do?
You are opening your mouth
Trying not to choke
But all the creatures
Are crawling down your throat
And you are to trying
To keep yourself sane
But you've got leeches
Sucking on your brain
So what do you do, what do you do, what do you do
With a ton of soil shoveled over you
So what do you do?
What do you do?
What do you do?
What do you do?

MESSAGE FROM MY PAST LIFE
I went out to get me some fun
Last summer
I went out to get me some fun
I went out to get me some fun
I went out, but I didn’t get none
I went out to get me some fun
Last summer
And as it was
It was a message from my past life

And as it was
It didn’t get me it didn’t get me none
Walking down the street now
The night was so young
I was looking out for something
It took me too long
I was walking down the streets
All looking for you
Screaming, hoping, yelling for adorno
My way it’s the way you prey, obey
You won’t make it anyway
I went out to get me some fun
Last summer
I went out to get me some fun

I went out, but I didn’t get none

Kiss the Boot

KISS THE BOOT
I've been down
And I’ve been out
Burning holes into my couch
Holes into my couch
Holes into my couch
I've been lost
And left for dead
Waking up in hotel beds
Up in hotel beds
Up in hotel beds
You say that I am scum
That I drag you down into the slum
As I fall from grace
You fall to your face
And while you’re down there, why don’t you
Kiss the boot
I've been betting high and low
And losing every game
Hun, it's such a shame
Hun, it’s such a shame
Maybe i should just give up
Accept all work, no play
But honey, not today
Honey, not today!
You say my voice is too loud
I maintain you’re just too proud
Now you’re crawling on all fours
Cos sobriety is such a bore
And while you’re down there,
Why don't you kiss the boot
Kiss the boot…

DESERT DREAMS
Some people stay cool
That's what they do
I´m not like them
I´m not like you
I went out in the desert one night
Looking for some fun, looking for some fright
I went out where the skeletons are
I sat down in a very sandy bar
I said hey
Are you ok?
You look grey
You mind if I stay?
Was it something I said?
Was it something I bled?
Was it something I said, said, said?
I thought you were dead, I thought you were dead
I thought you were dead, dead, dead
Dead dead dead
So I turned to look
With my hand on the holy book
A perfect set of teeth
Made me believe
The mean, and the moon and the mighty mellow
Made me dance with this boney fellow
now I´m leaving all my juice
And my desert dreams I choose
I said hey…
Was it something…
And the desert sun
Washed away my wrinkles
And the desert stars had stopped to twinkle
As the desert sand put me to rest
The desert wolves were the only guests
Come rattle my bones
Come play with my clones

HI FI PHONO
Can I kick it?
Yes baby you can!
Ooooh can I kick it?
Yes baby you can!
Got my hand in my pocket
Everything is alright
Everything’s alright
Got my hand in my pocket
And the other one’s a rocket
Everything’s alright
Everything’s alright
But I ain’t got all night!
Can I kick it?
Yes baby you can!
Ooooh can I kick it?
Yes baby you can!
There’s a driver in the corner, she’s ready to go
And you know you won’t say no
She’ll leave us all behind if you move this slow
Go and tell your mama so!
Go and tell your mama so!
Go and tell your mama so!
And if you’re smashed to pieces
I’m gonna tell you why
You better get into that limo
In the sky
There’s a hall for losers
Where we’re all wearing our crowns
We’re the kings and queens of this dirt heep
In the sky
I got a hi-fi phono
Girl I’ll make it blast
Got a hi-fi phono
Oh boy it’s gonna be a blast
I would like some ice cream
If you know what I mean,
Oh yeah you’d like some ice cream
I would like some ice cream
If you know what I mean
Cos I’m not seventeen
Go tell your mama so!
Go tell your mama so!
And if you’re smashed to pieces
I’m gonna tell you why
You better get into that limo
In the sky
There’s a hall for losers
Where we’re all wearing our crowns
We’re the kings and queens of this dirt heep
In the sky

Tommy Gun
You’re on the run
You’re running out of fun
And now they’re laughing at you!
Tommy Gun
My favourite son
You’re almost done
Now cash your chips in while you can!
You spent your cash on wonders
And then you bought some more
You’re running out of credit
You’re just poor
Oh Tommy Gun
You’re on the run
Oh Tommy Gun
Cash your chips in while you can
Oh Tommy Gun
You’re on the run
Oh Tommy Gun
Now cash your chips in while you can!
Tommy Gun
You’re on the run
You thought that you’d won
But that showdown cost ya!
Tommy Gun
Always upping one
You betted on your heart and lungs
And now you’re left with none!
You left your soul in the pawn shop
Thought you’d get it back before
The Devil made his rounds
But now he’s walking out the door
You never turn...
Ooooh
You never turn...
You never turn...

Stop

STOP
I messed it up, yes I know
I messed it up, goes to show
Now I´m nothing but my own tormentor
Now I long for Harry Potter's dementor
This will pass, yes it will
But I´m here, waiting still
Sitting in my car and the pictures start running
some moron on the radio says the 90`s are coming
It all went black
I can't turn back
Don´t make me stop
no, just take it from the top
The minutes, the minutes
the minutes til you drop
Drowning, drowning, sinking
Didn´t know what I was thinking
Didn't get that it was me who held the shovel
Didn´t see the dirty walls in my hovel
Oh get up and get real!
You wont get a deal
sliding, sliding, sliding through your praypray
No matter what, no matter what, no matter what you saysay
It all went black
I can’t get back
Don´t make me stop…
Watch my hands now, grow whiter on the steering wheel
Watch my heart now, grow colder and my eyes to steel
There´s no reason, no reason for my tongue to speak
It’s still bringing, so I'm clinging - clinging
Stop….

NGBG
I got a snake tattoo
And it’s coming for you
It’s gonna break through the skin
To bite ya!
This street is swarming with rats
They are the boss over cats
The mafioso rodents
There’s the bread factory
And a Polish lorry
Smuggling in the fire arms
NGBG - are you happy to see me?
NGBG - yeah, you’re happy you see me
NGBG - they just wouldn’t believe me
NGBG - yeah!
N - G - B - G!
N - G - B - G!
What’s the carwash about
Cars go in, don’t come out
It’s a portal to the dark side
You best believe in your God
There are voices above
From the gospel congregation
NGBG - are you happy to see me?
NGBG - yeah, you’re happy to see me
NGBG - they just wouldn’t believe me
NGBG - yeah
And down in the cellar
The teller
The hostess of the mostest
Will bring a bag in box
He’s the legend
The backend
Of the smugglers and the dope fiends
Of the street
And we always get a treat
And the club down down by the tracks
Is packing to the max
With the punters
The hunters
Of the fun
And afterwards we go upstairs
To where Dragan keeps the beers
And we jam until the sun reappears
Take it away!
Take it away!
Take it away and away and away and away
You know you wouldn’t believe
How it would be
NGBG - are you happy to see me?
NGBG - yeah, you’re happy to see me
NGBG - they just wouldn’t believe me
NGBG - yeah!
