Karaoke


(You) Gonna shake your head
Gonna shake and spin
Gonna pick it up abed with something new

First I heard it in my car
Then I saw it on the set
It´s nothin´ I can´t do
It´s nothin´ I can´t lick

Oh, yeah

(Now) You can hear it in the air
You can feel it in your bones
You can sing it in your head
You can wear it on your clothes

Oh, yeah

You can steal it if you dare
Just might put you where you´re goin´
(where you´re goin´)

I´m just a regular man
Now I´m a regular mess
Doesn´t matter how you dress
Doesn´t matter how you fit

Oh, yeah

I´m gonna show you someday

You can hear it in the air
You can feel it in your bones
You can have it for your own
May not miss you when your gone



Come Together


Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing i can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking cuz he´s so hard to see

Come together right now over me



Into the Void


How can you buy or sell the sky
Or the warmth of the land it´s strange to us
We don´t own the freshness of the air
Or the sparkle of the water
How can you buy them from us
The white man doesn´t understand our ways
For he´s a stranger who comes in the night
And takes from the land just what he needs

Oh yeah

He treats his brothers like his enemies
When it´s completed he moves on
He leaves his father´s grave and his birthright
His birthright is fogotten
The air is precious to the red man
For all things share the same breath
The white man won´t notice the air he breathes
Like a man dying for many days

All right now

The whites must treat the beasts of his land
As his brothers not his enemies
Tell me what is man without the beasts
I´ll bet he will die of loneliness

One thing we know that the white man will
We know our god is the same god
You may think you wish to own him
Own him as you wish to own our land
But he is the body of man
And the earth is precious to him
Continue to contaminate your bed
And you will suffocate in your waste



Birth Ritual


Lying like needles
On forest earth
Euphoric rush
Trees bend to pray for us
I´m sputtering
Like cold machines
Late for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual, ritual

You can drive my tail
To watch the circus
A (birth?) ritual
A birth of idiots
Now I woke up blessed
And good strives for heart ache
Marked for the death ritual, ritual, ritual

As you start the song
And face this garden
I light a cigarette before the execution
Now you see your crime
For every miracle
Add another drug at every birth ritual

I took the drug
To make me stay
And now everything
Dies in shyness
The snake retreats
Admits defeat
And waits for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual

Shining light
Child´s highs
Mark his sides
Bright until the newness wears off



Seasons


Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
My mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Another place to hide it all

And I´m lost, behind
The words I´ll never find
And I´m left behind
As seasons roll on by

Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been the answer
And dreams have never made my bed
Dreams have never made my bed

And I´m lost, behind
The words I´ll never find
And I´m left behind
As seasons roll on by

Now I wanna fly above the storm
But you can´t grow feathers in the rain
And the naked floor is cold as hell
This naked floor reminds me
Oh the naked floor reminds me

And I´m lost, behind
Words I´ll never find
And I´m left behind
As seasons roll on by

If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take these words away
Should I be beside myself
And not even stay

And I´m lost, behind
Words I´ll never find
And I´m left behind
As seasons roll on by



HIV Baby


What ever happened to the sexual revolution?
I guess that has made its contribution

I´m an H, I´m an H
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby

What ever happened to the drug
Just when you had a line you see it´s

I´m an H, I´m an H
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby

Alright

I´m an H
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby
I´m an HIV baby



Girl u Want


Swings from somewhere you can´t see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
Drifts on down in a mist from above

She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want

You can hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know you´re headed for the pleasure burn
The words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
She´s the real thing but you knew it along

She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want

Look at you, your mouth watering
Look at you your mind spinning
Why don´t we just admit it´s all over
She´s just a girl you want
She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She swings from somewhere you can´t see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
Drifts on down in a mist from above
She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want

She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
She´s just a girl, a girl, a girl you want
