Drifting
I don´t know what it is I should be waiting
I can´t reach the future I can´t live in the past
I don´t know what it is I should be doing
I´m riding two horses driving three wheels
Sometimes it feels I´m such a long long way from home oh yeah
And it feels there´s such a long long way to go oh yeah
And it feels like my days are just fools gold as long as I spend them on my own
And it feels like I´ve been drifting so damn long and all I do is keep drifting on
I keep drifting on
These are the wounds that I found aching
I´ve been celebrating my youth
These are the times that are getting rougher
Me I ain´t getting tougher or that´s how it seems

Keep The Train Rolling
Every night a little piece of me falls away
I go out walking to the streets but my feet are made of clay
I´ve got a feeling that I can´t control running in my head and burning in my soul
I´m just a little lost inside you can see it right through me I could use some help tonight
I´m trying to keep the train rolling on
I spend the days restless in room
I go out searching for a romance end up howling at the moon
Well I´m just a little short of light c´mon little darling don´t leave me to the night
I wanna be a satellite crashing through the crowd and leaping trough the sky
I´m trying to keep the train rolling on
Now the rivers floating and it´s coming down on me
I´m alone sick and tired to of my own company
Another road is closed down here I´m trying to move on
Lately it´s been getting though it´s hard to just stay strong
but I´m trying to keep the train rolling on
There comes a time when all this darkness pass I´ll be surrounded by my loved and my friends and the train is rolling fast
I need to buy myself some time get my thing together and make it walk the line
I wanna do it all tonight break these chains and lose these blues of mine

Rivers
Pull me out the undertow when my heart is black
and my friends are towers in the sand
Pull me out the undertow when the rain pours hard
and you see me drifting out of sight
I´m sold and I´m set to go, if it´s my turn I don´t mind I know
Rivers never lie, Rivers they flow they flood they dry but rivers never lie
Something here in the undertow is calling through the night
must be all those voices out of time
Something here in the undertow keeps me down
and I´m never coming up again

Deep Blue Dream
Echoes marching in the night
I got no strength to stay in fight
I look for it but it stays out of sight
And a deep blue dream comes to me
The world is charging trough the dark
One by one we lose the spark
Hope is not in the store our downfall is hard
And a deep blue dream comes to me
In my deep blue dream they come from space
and find the earth abandoned place
They wonder why we built these streets
right before the quantum leap...

Sleepwalk
Read me all your bedtime stories about light feet of clay
Sing me all your lullabies and let me slide away
Turn off the brightest lights and let me close my eyes
Put the warmest blanket on me and sell me alibis
I sleepwalk it makes me feel okay
No smalltalk when you sleepwalk in the rain
I sleepwalk my legs can feel no blue
On the sidewalk I sleepwalk while the rain is falling on my shoe
Each and every morning I wake up and my feet still ache
I really don´t feel like taking a walk around the lake
In the afternoon I feel like maybe I should take a nap
Even though I really can´t be sure if I will find my way back
I sleepwalk it makes me feel okay
No smalltalk when you sleepwalk in the rain
I sleepwalk my legs can feel no blue
On the sidewalk I sleepwalk while the rain is falling on my shoe
I´ve got a sleepwalking babe and I meet up with her every night
I know I really love her and she sure makes me feel alright
I feel alright
I belong, I belong in here
I belong, I belong in here
I belong, I belong in here
I belong, I belong in here...into the night.…

Out Of The Ballpark
When the sun goes down in the park blonde and brunette
share a cigarette in the cool of mid-summers eve
And the fountain flows as the feeling inside of me grows
I look into her eyes see a heart that no dollar can buy it´s really something
but I ain´t concerned of how much I get
I´m heading out to where the sun is set
I stumble on my feet I´m moving across the land
If I waste my time I don´t need them to understand
I search for no reward while the air of a victory
turns into a sound that floats where nobody can see but if you´re listening
I ain´t concerned of how much I get
I´m getting by with love and theft
Suspended from the sky come the words to a sonic dream
In her mercy´s arms guess it´s easy to picture the scenes
Yes I know what awaits it´s loaded I have been to the gates
Peeked over barricades to a garden of captains soul so if you´re wondering
I ain´t concerned of how much I get
I´m keeping an eye of what comes next
Now the moment comes the moon like a vagabond
Is rising from the north as the sorcerers are coming on
And in the palm of my hand I´ve got a beat of a magical band
Guess I´ll be coming around wearing them unicorn shades playing it like nothing
I ain´t concerned of how much I get
Don´t waste my time keep it moving ahead

Blue-eyed Boy Beat The Drum
He came to me one time in the shade of the afternoon
A funny man in white silk suit he said "I can bend the spoon"
"Here´s a coin" he said with a smile and made it disappear
He said "I come from not that far, for a reason I appear"
"You´re all tricked by the sun, it´s an illusion that you feel love
You´ll go capture this one, while the moment is still young,
oh and blue-eyed boy... you´ll beat my drum"
"Thanks for nothing and thanks for all" he said and walked away
I went off to a north shore bar thinking about the offer he made
Soon came midnight I gazed at the moon and made up my mind
to turn the whole thing upside down I thought this will suit me fine
You´re all blessed by the sun, when you are feeling love
I´ll go capture this one, while the moment is still young,
and mr. white silk suit I´ll beat my drum

Rescue
Yeah I been looking for you, saw a scar in the sky where you fell right through,
your trail it was not easy to walk down
Out to the Jackson gate, I rode a sorrows long black rising wave
and still you were nowhere to be found
If in the gutters your love is hiding, I step into the night to find it
If the battle feels never-ending if your wounds seem like they´re forever mending
soon my love will rescue
I need to see your face, your deep green eyes and the smile I want
to bloom no matter where it takes me to
I sing a song for your fire, you can take it or leave it I´m a lousy liar
so you know that what you hear is true
If in the gutters your love is hiding, I step into the night to find it
If the battle feels never-ending if your wounds seem like they´re forever mending
soon my love will rescue
Now as we feel the rain like never before
Whatever it will take I´ll do and more to lift you out of the night

What The Brakes Are For?

What the brakes are for?
I was the prince of thieves stealing all command
I had the whole damn town eating from my hand
With my first guitar I out-shined the stars
Like the king of prophets I had seen my cards
I messed up the whole high school with one finger waving free
Pretty girls they knew my name I was the remedy for drying
I hung out with the rich just to burn their cash
So I was given a crown down at the beggars bash
I was up in the clouds never touched the ground
I was not ashamed that mama I was loud
I hit the city with some style I was never going to find my place
I crawled to her in my disguise and won her loving grace
While coming of age...
But just what the braked are for? Nobody told me
But just what the braked are for? Nobody told me
That´s the brakes are for! but nobody told me...
That´s the brakes are for! but nobody told me...

Purple Hearts
Come rescue me tonight I´m waiting on your light
to help me make it trough the fight
And to live to see the dawn in this hell we´ve gone
my bleeding feet are marching on
My mind is breaking down and my faith it finally drowns
as I hear the closing thunder sounds
In heat of that old sun under red, red clouds
is where the nights are proud to come again
She´s a sister of gun a daughter of dust
the only one I´ll ever trust
She makes my young life worth it when
and if I will return again
but now my dreams turn to fears and my fears turn to tears
and in my eyes the end it nears
In heat of that old sun under red, red clouds
is where the nights are proud to come again
So if you are afraid to share your purple heart
and if you fear what we might become
well I cannot freeze the years that keep rolling by
but purple hearts can heal your scars that time can´t deny
Here come the purple hearts
