Songs

Street where no flowers are sold
Where habits grow old
Nothing sacred will hold
Grace of this hideous place
Of the stale old face
My place in this world

Look through the windows palette
Your life never ends
You’ve never been born
You’ll never grow old
Cause you’ve never been hurt

Leave you will come here again
In a new younger shell
You are still the same

Run until you hit the wall
There is nothing beyond
You’re helpless thrall

of the

Street where no flowers are sold
Where habits grow old
Nothing sacred will hold

Relax give up to this force
It’s the natural course

Street brooks no dissent

Underneath the quilt
Shivering from fever
Counting minutes by
The droplets from the ceiling

Will I fade away?
Or it’s a new beginning

Moments passing by
I hold them so dear
From mother’s lullaby
To the days when you were near

A shame that our place
From now on will be vacant

Memories turn to dust
As a symbol of our wild past
Broken and naive fool
A dreamer who was stubborn as a mule

Nice to see you here
Tending to my wounds
Shielding me from fear
Like no one ever could

We know all too well
It’s just a brief postponement

Do not see me off
I’ll find my own way
My utter disarray
Will end up quite soon

A shame that our place
From now on will be vacant

Memories turn to dust
As a symbol of our wild past
Broken and naive fool
A dreamer who was stubborn as a mule

Come near me
Through endless night you finally see me
I’ve faced my fate, this life has broken me
I’m going away

You hear me
Through endless noise you finally hear me
I’ve found myself and it’s the same damn me
I’m going away

At break of day I’m going away

Come kill me
When I’m dead you’ll see the real me
Through your cold blade you’ll finally feel me
I’m going away

What’s with me?
The chase is over and you’ve caught me
You’ve seen me through and now you hate me
I’m going away

At break of day I’m going away

Blame me
I bet you’ll never understand me
You won’t be able to forgive me
I’m going away

Forget me
It’s tough to know that you’ve replaced me
You’ve crossed me out, you’ve crucified me
I’m going away

At break of day I’m going away
At break of day…

You are still awake, still breathing today
New life all over again
Too worn out to start, too tired to wait
You’re leaving your shell just to go astray

In the paved paradise you walk in disguise
Unable to find a place of your own
Savages act in a broad daylight
They ravage your soul to their own delight

You’ve lost the battle without a fight
Stay in the cave you’re unworthy of sunlight
Exhausted inside quietly groans
Slip to the pit and break all your bones

Run to the shelter, run for your life
Wait out this violent strife
Stay in your cave you’re unworthy of sunlight
You’ve lost this battle without a fight

So claim your prize, your banner of fools
Don’t raise up your voice and follow the rules
Born from the mud and always polite
You’re not here to shine bright

You’ve lost this battle without a fight
Stay in your cave you’re unworthy of sunlight
Exhausted inside quietly groans
Slip to the pit and break all your bones

Exhausted inside quietly groans
Slip to the pit and break all your bones

You are still awake, still breathing today
New life all over again
Too worn out to start, too tired to wait
You’re leaving your shell just to go astray

In the paved paradise you walk in disguise
Unable to find a place of your own
Savages act in a broad daylight
They ravage your soul to their own delight

You’ve lost the battle without a fight
Stay in the cave you’re unworthy of sunlight
Exhausted inside quietly groans
Slip to the pit and break all your bones

Run to the shelter, run for your life
Wait out this violent strife
Stay in your cave you’re unworthy of sunlight
You’ve lost this battle without a fight

So claim your prize, your banner of fools
Don’t raise up your voice and follow the rules
Born from the mud and always polite
You’re not here to shine bright

You’ve lost this battle without a fight
Stay in your cave you’re unworthy of sunlight
Exhausted inside quietly groans
Slip to the pit and break all your bones

Exhausted inside quietly groans
Slip to the pit and break all your bones

We could climb onto the mountain
We could travel far away
But clearly not now
And not anytime today

Cause we are tired of doing nothing
And we need to have a rest
Lock the door and shut the window
We don’t want any sudden guests

We could make a fortune
We could buy our own plane
But we don’t care for dirty money
For they drive good men insane

Maybe we were made for purpose
But, you know, I don’t give a damn
Because worms under the ground
Accept any kind of men

So you cut your selfish wisdom
And let us waste our lives
Until we’re six feet under
To the no one’s surprise

Just lay down crack a bottle
And let the chips fall where they may
Life doesn’t worth the efforts
Gain doesn’t worth the pain

My inner flame is now gone
My path is dark and heart is cold

Bitter ashes stuff my chest, bitter ashes fill my soul
In a fit of desperation
I searched my flame in bars of gold
I looked for it in empty bottles
And sought for it in gaudy skies
I searched it on a hopeless bottom
But spark has gone, my world is damp

Let me in
I need your help
Let me in
It won’t take long

So I placed a neon sign where once my
flame shone bright
Buzzing sound brought me comfort
I had no need for a warming light
And yet I’m here on your doorstep
Awkward broken old man
You’ve never asked me to come here
You won’t forgive my deadly sin

But I am here, let me in

My inner flame is now gone
My path is dark and heart is cold

Bitter ashes stuff my chest, bitter ashes fill my soul
In a fit of desperation
I searched my flame in bars of gold
I looked for it in empty bottles
And sought for it in gaudy skies
I searched it on a hopeless bottom
But spark has gone, my world is damp

Let me in
I need your help
Let me in
It won’t take long

So I placed a neon sign where once my
flame shone bright
Buzzing sound brought me comfort
I had no need for a warming light
And yet I’m here on your doorstep
Awkward broken old man
You’ve never asked me to come here
You won’t forgive my deadly sin

But I am here, let me in

Needle goes through my skin
So thin I do not even notice
All I want is you to know this
On this merry-go-round
I’m your only option now

Indeed, we’ve got so much in common
Handicapped imagination
Spoiled dreams and frailed minds
With no clear path to follow
No more Holy Grail to find
On this Merry-go-round
For life
For life
For life
For life

Needle goes through your heart
So sharp that you’ll surely notice
All I want is you to know this
On this merry-go-round
I’m your only option now

Indeed, we’ve got so much in common
Handicapped imagination
Spoiled dreams and frailed minds
With no clear path to follow
For life
For life
Our lives
Our lies
All lies

Midnight lyrics come to me
So live that I can almost see
The silence of the empty night
And wood without a single light
Fading scent of forest snake
Is the only route you need to take
It will bring you to the cradle of dawn
The place you’ve never come along

Deep your soul in cold moonlight
Behold the realm which’s out of sight
In the darkest times for all that stands
The silverlight will give a hand
No matter what tomorrow brings
Midnight will always give you wings
Use them in a time of need
When loosing ground under feet

Feel the cold beneath the skin
It’s coming through you like a sting
Take the scent when feeling blue
Release the thoughts which bother you

You need to lose to find the path
To make your way to shining stars
Be brave to leap and learn to fly
You only have a single try

You route is hard and full of traps
Be vary cautious and mind your steps
Don’t go off the hidden trace
Don’t leave it. Will be disgrace

No matter what tomorrow brings
Midnight will always give you wings
Use them in the time of need
When losing ground under feet.

Deep your soul in cold moonlight
Behold the realm which’s out of sight
In the darkest times for all that stands
The silverlight will give a hand
No matter what tomorrow brings
Midnight will always give you wings
Use them in a time of need
When loosing ground under feet

Yesterday is always better than today
I’m pessimistic you might say

No I’m just having a bad day since 1964
I’ve never told you before
That I just want to be a house cat and nothing more

Here I’m whining again
Now I need something to melt my brains

Reflection only breeds disdain
Until it drives you insane
And it’s not beneath my dignity to flee

So yesterday is always better than today
I’m pessimistic you might say

No I’m just having a bad day since 1964
As I’ve told you before
That I just want to be a house cat and nothing more

Lights are out and chimes are over
I’m curling up on the floor
Was it all worth fighting for?
Was it all worth dying for?

One month more and I’m done
I’ll finish up my treasure hunt

I just hope my mind will preserve
All the best of watchful nights
And the turmoil we used to ignite

Now I’ve made up my mind
I know that I can’t find
My secluded bay
Amidst the stormy tides
So I’ll just fade away
As if I wasn’t ever here
And no one will hear
My clumsy words of farewell

I just hope my mind will preserve
All that’s best of watchful nights
And the turmoil we used to ignite

Lights are out and the music’s over
But I still have a world to explore

Through the bumpy road of time
Goes our little orange bus
Why we’ve left so much behind?
What highway will throw on us?

Bus if faring far beyond
Is there a way to slow it down?

Every time I’m peering out
Milky fog obscures my sight
Why there is always so much doubt
Swarming in my mind?

Bus if faring far beyond
Is there a way to slow it down?

Those who guide us on the path
Do you know where to go?
Can you guide us through the chasm?
You have crossed long time ago

Bus is faring far beyond
Is there a way to slow it down?

Through the bumpy road of time
Goes our little orange bus

Wish I were born long time ago
And wish I lived somewhere else
I wish I knew all I don’t know
And wish I could do all I can’t

Wish I didn’t dream all days
Wish I acted more instead
Wish I am to be remembered
I wish someone missed me when I’m dead

But I can only reflect
I can envy and hate
I can weep in the night
I can cuddle myself
In illusion of triumph
And I can despair
One’s who is better
I’m an anemic author
And I can pretend
But I’ll always remain
The seamy side of a man
Remain what I am

Wish I didn’t dream all days
Wish I acted more instead
Wish I am to be remembered
I wish someone missed me when I’m dead

Thunderbrd – Wish (chords)

He’s lost the trace of each new face that he has witnessed
He saw more dead than someone’s able to forget
Lust and wrath, pride and sloth it’s all just folders

Indifference in the eyes is only his disguise for inner anguish
And every restless day makes aspiration decay until it’s vanished
Swindlers play, vile betray, it’s all just papers in the end

He used to have a cause to fight against the odds
Now only grim resolve fills up his restless soul
Widow’s tears, destroyed careers it’s just statistics

Those who climb too high neglecting human life has no atonement
And gears of the machine that he’s taught to spin will be their torment
Right or wrong weak or strong it’s just a gravestone in the end
