Line The Walls

I can tell
by the guitar sound
that it was recorded
prior to 89
name a track
and i'll guess the band
old french picture sleeves
is one quest that we share
take a breath
dig in depth
no one buys as much
as I accumulate
fill the room
line the walls
soon they'll reach the ceiling
I'll be a happy boy
discount bin
to the shelves
listening to a few
while gazing a the rest
underfed
memory loss
such in poor condition
I'm worth half what I was

thank you for the rhythm
thank you for the rhymes
now is the time to head back
to the place where I belong
different school of thought
other set of minds
makes me want to disappear
where I cannot be found
and I dream
of foreign lands
where the bootsteps hit the ground
in rhythm with the marching band
and I dream
of my hometown
where dilemmas are no-brainers
and paradox a crime
thank you for the food lord
thank you for the rice
came here for a free meal
just got out with the awards
ill at ease with free speech
dread the open land
I get struck with dry heaves
at the thought of wearing chaps

killing the light
colors switching to black and white
walking avenues late at night
throwing stones at passing cars
it feels right
having as many drinks as we can
smoking cigarette butts in line
while we know none of this will last
I wish I could tell myself then
that one of those days
I'll cherish those times
if there was one wish I could have
I wish we had
time to go back in time
out in the night
colors switching to black and white
walking avenues under dime lights
throwing stones at passing cars
it feels right
having as many drinks as we can
smoking cigarette butts in line
while we know none of this will last

Headless

one step forward
into horror
few of them
will get to live on
plans are made
from the start
kindergarten
to the slaughterhouse
and as they wake up they recall
there is just rust everything is old
brand new start
doesn't matter
cards have been rigged
massacre
quick submit
to the plan
casualties
no head of state

pull the plug
kill the switch
he is done with recording hits
his gift is gone
he spends his days
laying on his hospital bed
devoted his life to vintage synths
now calls the nurse to take a piss
what a drag
cut the cord
he will likely be
running out of AA batteries
to please his friends
he'll play the keys
out of inspiration
he'll use the pitch
he counts the days
his life such shit
he got a stoma bag
as a birthday gift
what a drag
unlike a tape reaching its end
a life does not rewind itself
as you die

What About Us?
01:54
|

the last time
we were kids in class
you are now offering me hash
of course I said
so here I am waiting
in the gloom
of a staircase
a fiver
for a nickelbag
that's some strange conversion rate
wait here he says
he then runs away
as sirens howl around the block
and days go on and on
me I'm still waiting for
some sort of signal
kind of sign
so what about us ?

A Song To Mourn To
02:12
|
|||
we were not ready for it
it just came our way
withouth an ounce of suspense
we were told you were dead
no one was ready for it
i just it our heads
and now we're all together
mourning all the same
a hidden christian faith
a head shaved twice a year
red wine and zoot suits
plus a slight accent
following all your steps
we have been many places
the Paris central morgue
a church in south of France
how will I ever fiend a friend
who lives his life so well
and drums so fast ?
As I cry I set the drum-machine
on preset 27
so that I write you this song

Back & Forth

mom pays for my flat dad is buying me briefs
I stock all my shit in little Joseph's room
if that's independance, well it feels quite good
king of my apartment, I still shower at yours
your water is so warm that i left my hair in the tub
your fridge is clean,imposant and full
and eventhough time does not go both ways
I am afraid that I must admit
I have been going back and forth, lately
leader of the pack I do as I please
picking cultural content that I'd want you to see
you've got to love star wars cause I live for it
outgrowing my bed I would rather sleep on the floor
than spend the whole day at a furniture store
I we share a shoe size I'll be borrowing yours
