2009 - Heavy Liquid

A GLASS OF BROKEN DREAMS

Sometimes I think there's never been
A highway so wide and mean
Leading to a room so cold and bare
Faded pictures on the wall
Stories of a past untold
Sunny beaches turn to ruthless tide
There's a new motel in town
It's called the end of broken dreams
There's a new place in town
It's called the end of broken dreams
Out of the blue my name is fear
And I'll haunt you if I care
Out of this world my game is clear
And I'll catch you if I dare
But there is no time for me to stay
Maybe it's time to ride the ray
Maybe tomorrow never comes
Crawling lizards in the sun
Do we part like fallen leaves
Like the dark waves of the sea
Travelling like driftwood through our lives
Glad I'm here with you tonight
With a glass of broken dreams
Listening to Marquee Moon all night
There's a train leaving tonight
But I ain't gonna pack my things
A strange kind of sunrise
At the end of broken dreams
Out of the blue my name is fear
And I'll haunt you if I cared
Out of this world my game is clear
And I'll catch you if I dare
But there is no time for me to stay
Maybe it's time to ride the ray
Maybe tomorrow never comes
Crawling lizards in the sun

MAGDALENE

Naked words 'n' naked bodies
Creepin up around the ceiling
Revelation seems so scary
And it makes you get that feeling
It's like an arrow aiming at you
Like a knife passing through you
Oh sweet Lord, they're trying to fool you
Oh my Lord, they're trying to fool you
Filthy questions 'n' empty answers
Money killed her expectations
Resurrection seems so worthless
And it spreads like wild infection
But she'll never taste a tear
She will never save a tear
Love's the lonely smile of fear
Mary cuts the water
Mary's gonna kiss the sky/ Kiss and die
Mary loves the water
I don't wanna die and live/live and die
Mary passed the boarder
I don't wanna kiss goodbye
Mary trapped the water
I don't wanna die and live/ live and die
Burning fields an' crazy hobos
Screamin' out the last goodbye
Burnin' marks upon her body
Just an' "eye for an eye"
She will not go back to prison
She will never stand to prison
Bleeding candles, angry curses
Kickin' back the big decision
Revelation seems so useless
And it spreads, a lonely vision
But she'll never taste a tear
She will never save a tear
Love's the lonely smile of fear
Mary cuts the water.

HEADLONG TO THE EDGE

This salty ol' ship should get rid of her cargo
But the wind and the sea are the only friends that she knows
Prisoner of war in a thousand years confrontation
With the man who's wearing the night on his sleeve
Down at the nightshift of a world
That's reeling on its feet
With a burnin' white flag
Here we go!
Headlong to the edge
The edge of the world
Headlong to the edge -to the end of horizon
Headlong to the edge -to the end
Headlong to the edge- The edge of the world
The mighty ol' sky
Always there watching the struggle
Of life that's trying to get hold of itself
Prisoner of war in a thousand years confrontation
With treacherous winds that take you ashore
Down at the nightshift.

HANG THE BONE

So many times
So many nights
So many deals
So many fights
So lightly thrown
Humiliation reigns above
So many thieves
So many lies
So many merchants
So many cries
So many knots - so many plots
So many wise men left to rot
You gotta hang the bone
So many years
Of a notorious past
Out to get you
You better run
So many borders
Never to cross
Always there
Forever lost
So many preachers
Nothing to preach
So many teachers
Left with nothing to teach
Children crossing the angry sea
What about you - what about me
We gotta hang the bone
Hey mister
So eager to run
To start a trip
Already done
So much love
Reduced to dust
Who can stand
So much distrust
So much common ground is lost
Are you the guest
Or are you the host?
It's easy enough to criticize
You gotta hang the bone

GET OFF MY WORLD

True love you got to give yourself another chance
You got to keep on surfing on your secret wave
Can u dig it?
True love you got to get yourself another name
Can't find you step in fake alligator shoes
Can you dig it?
Get off my world
It should never be so easy
Wake up my life
It should never be enough
Get off my world
It should never be so easy
Get off!
Took a ride back to sweet fuckin sixteen
I blew the class and I stole the high school queen
Built a shack down by the highway line
Dodgin' cars watching the days go by
Get off my world
It should never be so easy
Wake up my life
It should never be enough
Get off my world
It should never be so easy
Get off!

MOUNTAINS

Fire
Reach the sky
Mountains slide
To the sea
Movements
Recognized
Scrutinized
By the Eye
See me feel me touch me heal me
Mountains
Standing high
Overdrive
Upon the sky
Islands
Mesmerized
A bottle of whisky
And a tainted cup made of tin
See me feel me touch me heal me
Mountains
Invade our lives
With silent cries
In our sleep
Movements
Recognized
Synchronized
By the eye
See me feel me touch me heal me
Mountains

PANTHERMAN

(for Lux Interior)
Truth and light release the spear
That penetrates the soul
And native voodoo jungle boy
Is claiming what they stole
You 're a pantherman
You're the river of soul
You're the brother of fire
Truth and light
Release the spear that penetrates the heart
Oh did I hear you singing
On the black magic river banks
Oh did I hear you singing
Under the light of a falling star
One thousand candles burning for you Pantherman
A thousand roman candles burning Pantherman
Come on save my soul
You're the Woard of mighty love
Of restless love
And I redeem myself
By drowning all my ugly teens
Into your pool of stars
You 're the Pantherman
You're the river of soul
Lost brother of fire
Truth and light
Release the spear that penetrates the heart
Oh did I hear you singing
On the black magic river banks
Oh did I hear you singing
Under the light of a falling star
One thousand candles burning for you Pantherman
A thousand roman candles burning Pantherman
Come on save my soul
Oh you're the pantherman the light that never shines
Inside the eye of the beast the lonely cry
But you 're a pantherman
You're the river of soul
You're the brother of fire
Just a roman candle
You're the Garbageman
You're the river of fire
One thousand candles burning for you Pantherman
A thousand roman candles burning Pantherman

JACK OF THE HIGHWAY

The night
The flight
Moments that stand for a life
The calling
That gets you
Around and around and around
I need a cover
I need to sober
I feel the heat in the cold of the night
Life looks so special
Uncontroversial
I see the end at the edge of the night
You're Jack o' the Highway
My wandering friend
Dancing on minefields
It's not over yet
I'm running thru the jungle
You're sleeping in my hand
Oh Jack of the Highway
All over again
The night
The spite
The reverse of the light
The searchlights
That haunt you
Again and again and again
I need a cover
I need to sober
I feel the heat in the cold of the night
Life looks so special
Uncontroversial
I see the end at the edge of the night
You're Jack o' the Highway
My wandering friend
Dancing on minefields
It's not over yet
I'm running thru the jungle
You're sleeping in my hand
Oh Jack of the Highway
All over again

MAUREEN

Tick tack the heels of time on the stairs
This town is not about respect
These streets are no meaner than the rest
Visibility's impossible without an illusion
Who cares about the burden of love?
Who cares about the lost fucking ground ?
Who can about the greed and the pain
That lead great nations to ruin and despair?
Maureen
I wanna be there in your sleep
Maureen
I wanna be right there in your dreams
This wave' s not a child of the sea
Is about justice and enemy lines
This song is louder than regret
Heavier than the growl of the might ocean
Who cares about the burden of love?
Who cares about the lost fucking ground ?
Who can about greed and pain
Heavier than the growl of the might ocean?
Maureen
I wanna be there in your sleep
Maureen
I wanna be right there right in you dreams

HOLE IN THE WALL

Go on (X3)
When the sun begins to shine
That's the time, anyway, I'm leavin you behind
When the moon begins to rise
That's the time, anyway, I let you in mu mind
When the bells are tolling for a man
That's the trigger that puts me on the run
Whan the fog I spinnin round my room
That's the sign that bane begins to bloom
My heart is bleeding I want you to know
My nails are needles I want you to glow
The streets are empty I stare at the sky
So help me baby or get back 'n' die
When the eyes are turning yellowish grey
It's your blood that's feeding my old pan
When the wind is howling through the trees
I get down an'pray on my knees
My skin is wrinkling I want you to know
My lips are frozen I'm calling for more
This might be nightmare or love that you stole
And now I'm digging a hole in the wall
The rats are digging a hole in the wall

GOLDFISH

Trust
Imposed by a rod and a gun
Ain't no trust at all
Try to believe in you
Gone
Let me in the water I'll flow
Shoot me up to the skies
Land me sound and safe
Nothing to ask for
With your face to the wall
Rust
Imposed by a rod and a gun
For years and years and years
I try to believe in you
Gold
Let me in the water I'll flow
Shoot me to the skies
Land me sound and safe

ALABAMA BLUES (J.B. Lenoir)

I never will go back to Alabama, that is not the place for me (2x)
You know they killed my sister and my brother,
and the whole world let them peoples go down there free
I never will love Alabama, Alabama seem to never have loved poor me (2x)
Oh God I wish you would rise up one day,
lead my peoples to the land of pea'
My brother was taken up for my mother, and a police officer shot him down (2x)
I can't help but to sit down and cry sometime,
think about how my poor brother lost his life
Alabama, Alabama, why you wanna be so mean (2x)
You got my people behind a barbwire fence,
now you tryin' to take my freedom away from me
