Hide my head away somewhere down in france
Slouch when crosses light up
Yeah i`ll go ahead and take a chance
If this is dying
How come I feel so good?
Buried deep beneath the underground
But I'll be here
If tomorrow ever comes around
If this is dying
How come I feel so fine?
Trudging slowly though the slow parade
Kissed by boredom, there’s no learning from mistakes
If this is dying
How come i feel so good?
If this is dying
how come i feel so fine?
Bring some friends around and my heavy coat of ash
Bring some friends around, sticky lumps of hash
Can't give up on freedom
Can't give in to life
No use in hiding when you're sent down from the sky
If this is dying
How come i feel so good
If this is dying
how come i feel so fine?
My head is heavy
rolling into night
i'm crawling through the street saying this

Move so heavy with the gifts I`ve been given
from the depths of the dead
let my spirit pass through the ceiling
before daylight slips away
well, i`d like to be here when the night is set afire
to roam in the underground, if only for a while
Feels like a joke, but thats believin i suppose
i could hear it, and as i was calling out
it felt true
what of my creator
i`ve got no time for it
I've been rolling round in space
I fell deep into a lake
yeah i rejoice in the emptiness
moving through these unlit streets
all blacked out
waiting for someone to come
feel like a ghost, but thats believin i suppose
i could hear it, and as i was calling out
it felt true

Some Kinda Wicked Life

While is was drowning in the river
i heard the trees grow taller
dying birds were singing
some kinda wicked life
green vines stretching out
to meet them in their song
in the heart of a city
some kinda wicked life
where was i before?
headed for the comedown
ocean full of rust
making quiet progress
getting lost out in the snow
morning sun creeping out
won't you meet me in my leap
perched above lonely lights
some kinda wicked life

Detours Of Nostalgia

Pass my old apartment, eaten by the night
Coming down from nights and years alone
Trying to get out from under
Torched my unknown masters and saw a light so bold and true
Slept on floors with my ghostly body
Man, I came back all new
And called out with a vampire voice
From my big skeletal bed
Unmade and blue
Well, it’s a big dark desert down here
We were wasting time waiting for its tears
Well, I rode down to a coast town so quiet it would make you cry
I split the sky wide open
I’m not racing just to get behind
Could drain my body till I am just a spirit in the sky
Crossing every ocean
As the day turns into night

Something will find me
can't find a bed
lost at all the cards i played tonight
out in the wilderness
riding on a breeze
fell asleep and woke up on the shore
Where is my head
try to move outside the lines I drew
man i lose it every year
held together by a coat
keeps my blues and greens inside
Well it comes down slow
ashes falling down on ancient halls of ours
I was the sleeper in the valley
all wrapped up in christmas lights
You don't get tired of such a scene
Early morning, stars resting in the sky
man i can`t wait til night
The day sank into the ocean
and the sky turned hellish red
Won't you hold my weary heart
hope we make it out alive
Well it comes down slow
ashes falling down on ancient halls of ours
Man I come down slow
feel just like a child waiting to be born

I’d set my head off good
At the end of the day
Wanna scupper ships real good
Man I'd do it if i could
Hold on for life
Feel so sick
Dying of the coast
I ate the drugs off the table
I did good beyond repair
Wish i could leave things be
But i'm nowhere near
In the tall grass
I lie weathered and strange
Got my eyes on the winning prize
But how it weighs
Comes alive almost every night
Wish i could sleep it off forever
Yeah, I've been dipped in the slaughter
Stuck in a fleshy trip
Feel so light there's no use flying
Feel so down there's no use dying
It's a joke, man get the medicine and put it in a hole in the ground
Well there's no use crying
It’s the same old sky
Full of cosmic love
Yeah i just wanna be right

Song For The Holy Week

Oceans made up in dreams
Songs full of gold
Man, I feel so worried now
Climbing up these stairs to you
Don't wanna throw away my given days
Searchin in the dead of night
Well, that’s how it goes
Riding out in the darkness
Across rivers
and mountains of old
silver sun
shipwrecked and dying
kisses clinging to the eyes of the sea
Drowned in tired waves of drunken sleep
yeah, I've been lost ever since
let it ramble, make it strange
Don't feel so worried now, body pierced with love

Man I was walking into daylight
when your love came over me
Too slow, but I know
then I fell into a dream
Up all night, man what a sight
then the rain filled every sea
such a heavy sleep
but it's good to keep the lights on in a dream
Out olding past midnight
Yeah, the sky sent down a breeze
winter har been raining inside of us
but i know there to go

Tread the world like a ghost
knot of sleep unwinding
crossing into night
on a river of dreams
a kick in the head
is what i need to go on
feels like the day
might never come at all
Stranded in lives unmentioned
make your presence known
ready to go off
in the slow parade
well it dies every morning
but comes alive at night
a freedom all too heavy
but don`t take it so bad
armed with affection
and born with love
