WHAT TO DO
when I get old I'm gonna write a book
when I get old, but what to do, what to do now?
when I get old I'm gonna learn to cook
when I get old, but what to do, what to do now?
right now I'm roaming and rollin' through time
oh, yes I'm roving until you'll be mine
when I get old I'm gonna get a job
when I get old, but what to do, what to do now?
when I get old I'm gonna be a cop
when I get old, but what to do, what to do now?
right now I'm roaming and rollin' through time
oh, yes I'm roving until you'll be mine
I don't know, don't know what to do
don't know what to do with myself and the world's such a bore
I don't know, don't know what to do
sitting here on the shelf today just like the days before
when I get old I'm gonna be with you
when I get old, but what to do, what to do now?

Little stripper girl

LITTLE STRIPPER GIRL
bring it on and show me what you’ve got
I can tell if it’s talent or a reflex
move your legs babe, oh I think you’re hot
I’ll just watch ‘cause, no, I just can’t dance
little stripper girl made a living off the pole
swaying her hips
yes, she tempts with all her charms and then collects her tips
I’m the rain and you’re a summer breeze
I’ll make you wet just when it gets too hot
don’t mistake me for another sleaze
I respect you when others do not
she’s the goddess of men from Mars
and the princess of all stars
I should be ashamed of desiring what I see in front of me
it might just be that you live a life that you just cannot flee
bring it on and show me what you’ve got
I can tell if it’s talent or a reflex
move your legs babe, oh I think you’re hot
I’ll just watch ‘cause, no, I just can’t dance
little stripper girl made a living off the pole
swaying her hips
yes, she tempts with all her charms and then collects her tips

STAY TONIGHT
I see a ghost in each room, they won’t let me forget
how could I ever betray you, hear the sound of regret
but I want you to stay tonight
I’m telling the truth, I’ll make it allright
I’m sorry for smudging our life with my tongue
you are right, you are right
and I know, and I know I was wrong
I will read you the list of the crimes that are mine
I will ask for your mercy, please forgive, don’t decline
don’t take this flight, don’t leave tonight
let me linger with you I will make you forget
and I want you to stay tonight
I’m telling the truth, I’ll make it allright
I’m sorry for smudging our life with my tongue
you are right, you are right
and I know, and I know I was fucking wrong

THE TWO OF US
I think the two of us
we are like balm on the inside
don’t want to be the one
who's going to run and to hide
oh never, I would never give up on this ride
I know the two of us
we are so calm on the inside
and you are not the one
who's going to run and to hide
oh never, you would never give up on this ride
i will keep you warm
enchanted by your charm
I'll be right by your side
and keep you satisfied
always, always
I'll be right by your side
protect you from all harm
i will keep you warm
I will always keep you warm
always , always
I think the two of us
we are like balm on the inside
don’t want to be the one
not going to run and to hide
oh never, I would never give up on you now

RING THING
here I am walking down the street
I can’t keep my eyes of my tiny screen
and when I sit across it’s like you’re not there
there’s only one thing at which I stare
you got them in black, you got them in white
and they wake you up in the middle of the night
you got them in pink, you got them in blue
I do not need one, no, I need two
i want a ring thing, just like your thing
i got to be cool when i go to school
to have one now is the golden rule
i got to have the newest with fruit on the back
then i’ll be the coolest guy of my pack
i need this ring thing, just like your thing
oh a ring thing, yeah like your thing
i can check the weather, I can check the news
the thought of missing something just gives me the blues
and when you check my status you’ll see that i’m online
just keep in touch and i’ll show you that i’m fine
with my ring thing
i know you want this thing who wouldn’t
you got them in red, you got them in green
but i hate those greasy prints messing up my screen
you got them in yellow, you got them in gray
but please don’t call me, i’ve got nothing to say
I don’t care as long as I’ve got the newest, hottest....ring thing...yeah

A never ending storm

A NEVER ENDING STORM
like a never ending storm
the quarrels re-appear,
this black cloud never makes things clear
the strangest one of us is me
but don't call me two faced
it all seems such a waste
don't need to justify my lack of taste
in the morning I am with you
but the evening brings the storm again
and at night when I kiss you
I know we'll make it, we surely can
and giving it one, give it one more try
see the moon shining through the clouds
but it still ain’t the sun
oh when will the morning come
many times I've walked alone
but one and one makes two
I'm pretty sure they do
you're still the greatest girl I ever knew
in the morning I am with you
but the evening brings the storm again
and at night when I kiss you
I know we'll make it, we surely can
and giving it one, give it one more try
the early sun does rise
from the shadow to the meadow
and unfolds our eyes
we're entwined and found peace of mind

Lawless local heroes

LAWLESS LOCAL HEROES
a bunch of lawless local heroes
tasted liquor that they just brewed
the one with a straw hat and a long white beard
stood up and spit out tobacco he just chewed
“this batch is good, it’s damn fine,
stow the trunk with this shine
and get it on the road
lets sell this whole load”
when they started long ago
it was still legal you know
now they need to run
and wear a gun
the young runner parked his car out front
a Ford with a Caddy under the hood
they filled this large trunk with twenty cases
his engine roared the way it should
hit the gas, drove country roads
like with countless other loads
never too late
delivering the freight
passed a fork, he passed a bridge
still in time to make the switch
then he passed the crops
but didn’t spot the cops
they’re on his tail the chase began
worked out a new game plan
made another turn
enough fuel to burn
when it seemed he got away
and had enough for one day
saw the road was blocked
but he wasn’t shocked
took a spin and made a turn
one that you just can´t learn
he escaped arrest
because he is the best
the cops who let him slip away
had to wait another day
to get him behind bars
they needed faster cars

I'M SO GLAD
a certain girl is loving me in this world of pain
ain’t nobody’s business, but I love her just the same
no, I won’t blame you for not knowing her name
told you for the last time,
between the dark and the light
she's drawn towards the night
she has never seen or felt the light of the day
I’m so glad
I found a love
I’m running on faith
from above
I’m so glad
I found a love
I’m running on faith
oh I’m in love
a certain girl is loving me and I know it’s true
ain’t nobody’s business, but her eyes are coloured blue
she lives behind the sun, got a nice point of view
told you for the last time,
I can hold out
my heart has no doubt
I will join her at the end of this day
I’m so glad
I found a love
I’m running on faith
from above
I’m so glad
I found a love
I’m running on faith
oh I’m in love

The starry night

THE STARRY NIGHT
well he went out, painted the local scenery
and he wished hard for a display in a gallery
his vivid style surpassed reality
color’s the essence of his personality
but he stood alone with his works of art
yes, all alone with his works of the heart
was an unknown legend far ahead of his time
with a brother who was willing to spare him a dime
he worked hard
he lived hard
but he was penniless because no-one would pay
he worked hard
he lived hard
and he struggled to live from day to day
and he goes out and paints the night
gives color to what’s black and white
what´s black and white
gotta stay busy on this night
oh, the moonlight sure feels right
it sure feels right
but the sadness will last forever
the sadness will last forever
the sadness will last forever
who will come, to calm his fears
to dry his tears, to calm his fears
and he goes out and paints the night
gives color to what’s black and white
what´s black and white
gotta stay busy on this night
oh, the moonlight sure feels right
it sure feels right
well he points his ear to the sounds of the morning sun
and he keeps on working till the work is all done
he remembers the night and all from memory
he paints the stars above the cypress tree
well they made him dream and feel the divinity
the colored night made him see all things differently
suffering, though, with the power to create
he knew he’d arrived at eternity’s gate
he worked hard
he lived hard
and he blamed himself for all that fell apart
he worked hard
he lived hard
and he lost his mind but put his soul in his art

Down

DOWN
lately now I have been down
'cause you said you don't wanna stay
beneath your mask there's a frown
to everything that I need to say
you don't look so you cannot see
you can't breathe when you're undersea
lately now I have been down
yes I'm sad eyed and soft and grey
I live, I die burn and drown
and coldness wraps this suffering clay
you don't look so you cannot see
you can't breathe when you're undersea
you close your eyes and don't look at me
I wanna talk but you don't agree

THE NEXT TIME
the next time, I will do much better
when I’ll meet her again for the first time
now I think I do know how to get her
oh, forget it I’m past my prime
I’m tossing and turning and banging my head
the next time, I won’t be that passive
I would work hard to get me there
I would do things that are so impressive
oh, forget it I’m too short of flair
I’m tossing and turning and banging my head
I have tried to push it away
but I lack the might
I pray to re-live the day
‘till I’ll get it right
but time, time is not on my side
if I could reset some of my choices
I‘d have turned water into wine
I should not have listened to all those voices
so often I overstepped the line
I’m tossing and turning and banging my head
I have tried to push it away
but I lack the might
I pray to re-live the day
‘till I’ll get it right
but time, time is not on my side

We are done
04:35
|

I just don’t want you to come on over here
you know that you have crossed the line
we are going to settle this online
you have made things just too complicated
You just think i’m acting out
we’re caught up in a roundabout
and the stations are all playing that song
we’re one is lost and cheated on
babe we are through, oh yes, we are done!
I should have known how you really felt ‘bout me
so I meant nothing to you
you can’t have your cake and eat it too
I will pack your things and send them over
I don’t want to see you no more
you and me are done forevermore
and the stations are all playing that song
we’re one is lost and cheated on
babe, we are through, oh yes, we are done!
i’ll get a life and i’m moving on
