1.Mania

And there she was, she had a sip
I tried to light a smoke but it was lit
I couldn't help but watch her eyes
They were incapable of telling lies
Felt hypnotized

A mania
Insania for you
Lost in you
A mania
Invainia for you
Lost without you

She didn't zap her life away
She lived a technicolor life all day
A kiss of life, a taste of death
I suffocated couldn't catch my breath
Catch my breath

A mania...

I couldn't eat, i couldn't sleep
I couldn't smile at her, i could not weep
She couldn't help but watch my eyes
She saw a desperate man that she despised
That she despised

A mania...


2.Light Of Day

Flat on my back
With you beside me
I cannot belive the things that i see
When i'm in your arms
The world stops spinning around

Rub on the lamp
'cause i've been locked in
All sweaty and damp
When you start wishing
You've got all the three
That's us, it's you and me

You say come on
We've been around here for too long
Our time is now
We're gonna make it there somehow
And i say ok
I'll risk the night to see the light of day

Then i become
A doubting thomas
I'm not realy sure
The stakes become us
But you are the calm
My doubts are all crushed in your palm

You say come on...

Feeling the blood running through me
Feeling my life running freely

You say come on...

When you go out
I'm still in bed
But you left me a note
The mirror's red
You're not reely gone
Your writing tells me i'm the one

You say come on...


3.Tic-tac

Tic-tac
Before you say gesundheit
You'll have a flashback
That's a big crack
And honey, it seems we've walked
In circles for eternity
It's tricky to be happy

And time is being quite unkind
And roughly in my prime
It leaves me left behind

Tic-tac
Watch the watch move faster
While you break your back
You can't keep track
And honey, we're wasting half our lives
In front of the tv
You'd better hold me, please hold me

'cause time is being quite unkind...

Afraid i won't pass the test of time

Tic-tac
I'm not hungry you can have
The last big mac
I need a new snack
And maybe the dinosaur got older
Than we'll ever be
So save me, please hurry

'cause time is being quite unkind...


4.The Speechwriter

The speechwriter said
Please president let me stay in bed
I'm fighting a war
I can't face the mirror anymore
The speechwriter's dead
I'm speechless he said

My wall is broken
My truth is based on lies
My eyes are opened
I've seen through your disguise
My wall is broken
My wall is broken
My wall just fell down

The officer said
Dear general, new thoughts filled my head
I think i've been wrong
I've taken your orders way too long
I've clenched to my tree
Like a leaf in late fall
I truly belive
In nothing at all

My wall is broken...


5.Turning The Blind Eye

You are witty,funny
Frightening and bizarre
A mystery femme that no one knows by far
I'm in a trance
And you do your act
You're cool and confident
I'm lying in a pool of wet cement
I'm being trapped
I've lost control

Yet i'm turning the blind eye
All doubt swept aside
I know how faust did feel
When he cut his deal
And i just can't say why
I'm turning the blind eye

You choke my conscience
And my honesty
Yet i surrender unconditionally
Take what you want
Do what you will

'cause i'm turning the blind eye...


6.Two Feet Tall

Cold
Laughing like a moron in a can
A chill runs down my spine
Am i the joke or the comedian
I'm running out of time
Lips that tasted tears
Left a trail of peas
Still

Nothing has changed
Nothing's new
And there's nothing you can do
When despair takes control
When you're feeling two feet tall

Fear
Realizing it's become a curse
It's driving me insane
As paranoid as stalin at his worst
With no one left to blame
Trembling like a leaf
Sinking like a stone
Finding no relief

Nothing has changed...

So will you help me out
Catch me if i fall
Will you erase some doubt
I've been feeling two feet tall

A kiss
Lips that tasted tears
Left a sense of waste
Apathy appears

Nothing has changed
Nothing's new
But the fear of losing you
There's no cure
No loophole
When you're feeling two feet tall


7.Out Of The Blue

Just when you thought
You'd run out of date and time
And just when i felt
Like you'd been out of your mind
Sensing defeat under your skin
A door opens up so you walk right in

And out of the blue
You're out of the agony
You're out of this world
Right where you ought to be
Out of the blue
Nothing can get to you

Filled up with doubt
'bout losing integrity
Filled with lost faith
In moving instinctively
Out of control, out of thin air
Something comes up and just take you there

And out of the blue...

Just when you thought
You couldn't win
A door opens up so you walk right in

And out of the blue...


8.I Can Wait

My name shined so bright
Reflecting in my lights
Someone put a sign up
On this rainy night
Naturally i stopped
All three doors were locked
When right out of nowhere
Came this creepy man
With gun in hand
He screamed 'stay in your van'

Well, i can wait
I'm an open-minded guy
I can wait
I'm in no hurry to die

I rolled my window down
Said 'we can get along'
He growled 'hi,i'm satan
Take me back to town
I came to steal your soul
But i'm too freezing cold
'cause i've been working too hard
So just drive me home
And i'll leave you alone'

Well, i can wait...

When we got 'round the bend
He said 'i won't tell when
But we will meet again
Some sunny day'

Now it seems so unreal
Satan turned on his heel
And made me a deal

Well, i can wait...


9.Jigsaw Man

I'm surrounded by myself
Tucked away on a shelf
I am a forgotten elf

Kids will bring me back real soon
They will have me done by noon
Torn away my safe cocoon

I'm the jigsaw man
That nobody can
Really understand

Many humans will give up
When my pieces get too stuck
I'm depending on their luck

I'm the jigsaw man
That nobody can
Really understand

It's hard to get a piece of mind
Don't know which pieces they will find
I'm the jigsaw man
That nobody can
Really understand

In the end i'll meet the day
Without legs and arms astray
I'll just smile and walk away
I'll smile and walk away
I'll smile and walk away


10.Half Hearted

Thought that you were listening
Thought your butt might be worth kissing
But the smile got stuck
It felt like a disease
Took another wrong turn
So i watched another bridge burn down
I am spending most of my time
Down on my knees
Sesame, open up
I want in, i want your stuff
It's cold out here
My soul has caught the flu
I have made my life's decision
I'd probably kill for my ambition
If i thought it'd help
I might just kill you too

And you say i'm half
Half hearted
You say i'm half
Half hearted

You've got me second guessing
What i thought had been a blessing
I got so close
But you put me back on hold
And if nothing sells like sincerity
Then listen up 'cause i might be
Speaking from the bottom of my soul

And you say i'm half...

You have been my scapegoat
It is you that's kept me afloat
I have put all blame on you instead on me
My wounds are self inflicted
I've been feeling so vindictive
That the truth has been impossible to see

God i've been half
Half hearted...


11.Close To Home

I swear on my life
I really do care
Don't know where we going
But i can't wait to get there
I've been the lost boy
In search of his mom
The sky still is cloudy
But you made the sea look calm

And now i can feel the ground under my feet
Now i can taste both the bitter and sweet
Now that i feel the ground
I'm close to home

But you look so small
When you try to smile
Uncertainty grabs you
And holds on for quite awhile
You beg me to stay
Like i could let go
I can't hold you long enough
I try to let you know

'cause now i can feel the ground...

You're a new horizon
You have made me realize
I can touch the ceiling
I see hope instead of lies
Although it's not easy
I will never shut my eyes
I won't shut my eyes

'cause now i can feel the ground...


12.Boyscout Without Eyes

Turning in my sleep
Searching for the dream
That will expose me
Am i the one i seem
When i awake i realize
I am in alien disguise
Like a boyscout without eyes

Nobody told me
'son, you're on your own'
Now i'm bewildered
Collectively alone
I try to give friends a helping hand
While i betray my own demands
An astaire who could not dance
An astaire who could not dance

I shout to gods
I pray for floods
To wash my pain away
I kneel, i crawl
Get up and fall
I just can't find my way
Like a boat without a bay

I shout to gods
I pray for floods
To wash my pain away
I kneel, i crawl
Get up and fall
Until i'm out of tries
Like a boyscout without eyes
Like a boyscout without eyes


13.Over The Moon

So, you're down on your elbows and knees
And now you just go with the flow
You used to be easy to please
But that was a long time ago.

But when you enter her room
And when she opens her dream cocoon

You'll be over the moon
You'll be able to fly
You'll be getting there soon
You'll be high as the sky

Say, what happened to all your friends
What made them so dull and so grey
They got in a way in a sense
'cause they chose to turn her away

But when you enter her room
And when she opens her dream cocoon

You'll be over the moon
You'll be able to fly
You'll be getting there soon
You'll be high as the sky
You will bend til you break
You can't tell her goodbye

She's got god in her hands
Got us all in a trance
And when she opens her dream cocoon

We'll be over the moon
We'll be able to fly
We'll be getting there soon
We'll be high as the sky
We will bend til we break
Just don't tell us goodbye


14.Little Big Woman

She was as straight as an arrow
I was the crookedest bow
She had the weight of a sparrow
And i was the heaviest crow
Walking together in shadows
Drifting apart in the light
Clutching at straws in the daytime
Facing despair late at night

She is my little big woman
I've got to let her know
She saw that i was arriving
When everyone saw me go
She was my little big woman
And she will always be
Fragile and strong at the same time
My little big woman is free

Did i rely on my conscience
Or give into undertows
Was it the boy or man leaving
She's the only one that knows

She is my little big woman...

She was as pure as a flower
I was a poisonous weed
She had the grace of a calm swan
And i was a wolf dressed in greed

She is my little big woman...
