1. Not An Addict


eath it in and breath it out and pass it on, it´s almost out
We´re so creative and so much more
We´re high above, but on the floor

It´s not a habit, it´s cool, I feel alive
If you don´t have it your on the other side

The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts there´s no more pain
I´m in heaven, I´m a god
I´m everywhere, I feel so hot

It´s not a habit, it´s cool, I feel alive
If you don´t have it your on the other side
I´m not an addict, maybe that´s a lie

It´s over now, I´m cold, alone
I´m just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
Oh, nothing means a thing to me

It´s not a habit, it´s cool, I feel alive
If you don´t have it your on the other side
I´m not an addict, maybe that´s a lie

Free me, leave me
Watch me as I´m going down
Free me, see me
Look at me I´m falling and I´m falling

It is not a habit, it is cool
I feel alive I feel
It is not a habit, it is cool, I feel alive

It´s not a habit, it´s cool, I feel alive
If you don´t have it your on the other side
I´m not an addict, maybe that´s a lie

I´m not an addict, I´m not an addict, I´m not an addict



2. A Sound That Only You Can Hear


The thought of you and me and me and you
It´s clear, it´s blurry
Your head, my mind, your mind, my head, as one
It´s real, the foolish worry

I feel you and you feel me as I feel you
It´s good, it´s scary
The speed, the heat, it´s deep and steep
It´s light but hard to carry

Listen when I´m silent there´s a
Sound that only you can hear
Listen when it´s quiet I know
You can hear it, cover up your ears
Cover up your ears

Your hands, my mouth, your mouth, my hands
The weight of what we´re thinking
No words, the air we breathe
It´s not liquid, but we´re drinking

Listen when I´m silent there´s a
Sound that only you can hear
Listen when it´s quiet I know
You can hear it, cover up your ears
Cover up your ears

Listen when I´m silent there´s a
Sound that only you can hear
A sound that only you can hear
A sound that only you can hear
A sound that only you can hea



3. White Kite Fauna


In a dark well late at night
Children crying, they´ve lost their kite
They´re left with nothing but

Giant lizards eating deer
Growing appetite as they notice that their prey´s stills breathing
Lizards´ eyes reflection shows a glimpse of imperfection
Through the spastic sighs of innocence of deer´s blood and it´s cruel attraction

White kite fauna, do you feel
White kite fauna, is it real
Is it real

In a dark well I found a kite
Bloodstained, so beautiful, recognizable

I close my eyes and I perceive
Marble emptiness looking for my soul to bless

Lizards´ eyes reflection Shows a glimpse of imperfection
Through the spastic sighs of innocence of deer´s blood and it´s cruel attraction

White kite fauna, do you feel
White kite fauna, is it real
White kite fauna, do you feel
White kite fauna, will it heal
Will it heal

In a dark well late at night
I am crying, I´ve lost my kite
Left with nothing



4. Mr. Freeze


I´m about to tell you about a man I´ve known
Since I´ve been able to open up a refrigerator

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
Could you freeze me in and defrost me when it´s over

Mr. Freeze, I feel your chill as I inhale the urge to kill all my emotions
I ask you please, but all you do is make me sneeze
Mr. Freeze

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
Who´s shadow it is that appears as I bend over

It´s Mr. Freeze, I hear no sound as I focus on the amount of my emotions
I ask you please, take the lead or let me bleed
Mr. Freeze

My temperature is very low now
You´re here, but you´re not welcome any longer
I will release, I will release Mr. Freeze

No bangs no yells, merely the sea, is Mr. Freeze inside of me
No bangs no yells, merely the sea, is Mr. Freeze inside of me
No bangs no yells, merely the sea, is Mr. Freeze inside of me

I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
How it comes that I feel so high when I ought to feel lowe



5. Song For Catherine


In your dreams, in your bed, in everyone and in your head
On the wall, it ain´t white, in every letter that you write
In the way people talk
In the shape of stones and rocks
He´s your hero, he´s your God
He listens to this song and nods.... and nods

In a voice, in a sound, when you´re happy when you´re down
It will pass, things will change, but you don´t want to hear that

In the scent of the air, on the clothes that people wear
You feel love, so does he and he´s telling you, "I´m here", "I´m here"
He´s here, he´s here

Lalala, Lalala



6. To This Day


I´m waiting for the bus to come, I´m lying on a bench
Thinking of a book I read and wondering what it meant

I hear footsteps coming closer, it´s an ordinary man
He comes up to me, shakes my hand and asks me who I am

I am paralysed, I can´t talk or move, what could I say
And before I have the chance to think I tell this man my name
I tell this man my name

He smiles and looks away
But I still don´t know the answer to this day

To this day I don´t know, to this day I don´t know
To this day I don´t know, to this day I don´t know
To this day I don´t know, to this day I don´t know



7. Iron Flower


Thunder, please explain please explain why you ask me how I am
I´m fine I wonder is it sane is it sane to pierce purple eyeballs made of china
I love you like a son, like a game I have won
Like a toothbrush I used for the Eiffel Tower
My youth, it is gone, it´s a boot stuck in the ground
Is there truth to be found in an iron flower

Mmmmm. I will try hard to be a spark of power
Mmmmm, I will, I´ll never be your iron flower

Stone please explain please explain why your silence makes more noise than thunder
Bones, is it sane is it sane to obey me and the flesh you´re under

Your words are soon gone and it hurts, I have none
Take a jump from your pretty linguistic tower
The goal of speech, so obnoxious to reach
Only one thing to do, melt your iron flower

Mmmmm, I will try hard to be a spark of power
Mmmmm, I will, I´ll never be your iron flowe



8. Wait


I hold it, I fold it, I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I´m afraid that you´ll be bored

It´s very real and true and sad and hopeful just like me
It´s one of those things I´ll never tell
I´ll carve it in a tree

I follow you, I watch you, I thank god you´re in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus and we´re holding each others´ hand

I need a plan for you to fall in love with me and then I´ll make you marry me
I´ll wait, wait, wait, wait

I never wear my glasses when I know that you can see me
You act as if I´m not around but deep down you must need me

I draw you, every single feature in my head
I try to do my homework but I dream of you instead

I need a plan for you to fall in love with me and then I´ll make you marry me
I´ll wait, wait, wait, wait
I´ll make you marry me, I´ll make you marry me
I´ll make you marry, marry me
I´ll wait



9. Paradise In Me


Consuming far too much
Ignoring the will to touch the ones who don´t have food at all

I´m breathing, I´m wondering how
We watch Wheel of Fortune now
I close my eyes and try to see
A piece of paradise in me

Beat me up and smash my brand new TV
To help me look for a little piece of paradise in me

I´m dancing, I´m writing songs
About what bothers me the most
About those who can´t dance at all

I´m only jumping, I´m only freaking out
And I wonder what it´s all about
To close my eyes and finally see
A piece of paradise in me

Beat me up and smash my brand new TV
To help me look for a little piece of paradise in me
A little piece of paradise in me



10. My Record Company


eware, beware, they´re on their way
They´re getting closer every day but I´m prepared
I´m sure some common sense will blow them all away

They like your band, they shake your hand
They smell like food that has gone bad
Today it´s you, today will pass
Oh, I´m so sick of all this trash

Don´t take it personally, oh no
Don´t take it personally, oh no
Don´t take it personally, oh no
Don´t take it personally, oh no

And sometimes in the middle of the roaches´ nest
You find a little soul that understands the content of a song, so

Don´t take it personally, oh no
Don´t take it personally, oh no
Don´t take it personally, oh no
Don´t take it personally, oh no
Oh no
Yeah, yeah



11. Only Dreaming


I´m sure you´re only dreaming
You´re only juggling with my mind
While I feel more and more like screaming
For the scar you left behind

I´m sure you´re only dreaming
I´m sure we´re just a part
Of what the lucky man believes in
I´m sure you know this song by heart

You´re only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
You´re only dreaming, I think I can hear you say "shut up"
You´re only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
You´re only dreaming, you´re free

You will show up while I´m dreaming
Out of nowhere cross my way
You will ask me not to scream and
You will smile and you will say "dear friend"

You´re only dreaming, I think I can hear you talk
You´re only dreaming, I think I can hear you say "shut up"
You´re only dreaming, I hope your dream is in me
You´re only dreaming, you´re free
You´re only dreaming, you´re only dreaming
You´re only dreaming, dreaming
You´re only dreaming, you´re only dreaming
You´re only dreaming, dreaming



12. Dad


I was a kid, you were my dad
I didn´t always understand
I wanted freedom, you got mad
You were concerned, I got upset
I didn´t recognize you yet

And did you cry, I know I did
When I lied to you
I didn´t want to hurt you
I just never knew I did

You never told me that you loved me
I know you didn´t know how
I guess that shows we´re much the same
Cause I love you too and until now
I´ve never said those words out loud
I hope you´re proud to be my dad...

What are your secrets, do you pray
Is there a god that shows your way
I wish I knew
Do you have crazy fantasies
What happens in your dreams
I want to know

I guess you´ll always be a mystery to me
But you taught me how to value life
And what else do I need
I have a dad who watches over me



13. Old Woman


I saw an old woman in a wheelchair on the highway yesterday
I saw an old woman in a wheelchair on the highway yesterday
As I asked her to pull over to make sure no truck would hit her
She smiled, mumbled, "okay, whatever you say."
And I said "I wonder why, I wonder why"

She said, "Girl, you´re so naive and you´re too young to understand
I am now chasing my husband Stan
A pale man in a black suit came to take him in trade for a cup of tea
A pale man came to take him away from me"
And I said, "I see," and I really did
"You go and chase him, go ahead
And when you catch him will you send him my love
And tell the pale man to make sure
To call before he comes to take me too. to take me too."

I saw an old woman, I saw an old woman
I saw an old woman, I saw an old woman



14. Something´s Wrong


When your pubic hair´s on fire, something´s wrong
When you think you´re the Messiah, something´s wrong
When you mistake a plane for Venus, something´s wrong
When your girlfriend´s got a penis, something´s wrong
Something´s wrong, something´s wrong, something´s wrong

When you like music more than life, something´s wrong
When you start sleeping as you drive, something´s wrong
When you´re favourite drink is thinner, something´s wrong
When you´re proud to be a sinner, something´s wrong
Something´s wrong, something´s wrong, something´s wrong

When a canary drives a tractor, something´s wrong
When your president´s an actor, something´s wrong
When your jacket´s plagued with dandruff, something´s wrong
If you think that this song matters, something´s wrong
Something´s wrong, something´s wrong, something´s wrong

Something´s wrong, something´s wrong, something´s wrong
