1.Two Face(El Mirage Desert Version)
I stand between the left and the right.
Between two faces, day and night.
Back there i see the ancient past.
And here it is, it seems to last.
People never learn to see.
The things that are, and that will be.
Attach the word to the image in the brain
And watch as life goes down the drain.
How can two faces have one mouth when there are two music
How can one mouth hold two words and mean nothing
I need two faces to sing one song
In need two faces to mean one thing
To mean something i need no mouth
Two faces have two eyes when they
Stand as close as love.
If right is right and left is wrong
I need two faces to sing this song
I need two faces to play this game
I need to be just enough insane
I'm aware of what i'm at
I stand between the good and bad
I know that 'cause it's written in the book
For each event the perfect hook
How can two faces have one mouth when there are two music
How can one mouth hold two words and mean nothing
I need two faces to sing one song
In need two faces to mean one thing
To mean something i need no mouth
Two faces have two eyes when
They stand as close as love.
Two faces have two eyes when
They stand as close as love.
Two faces have two eyes when
They stand as close as love.
It doesn't mean i'm gone when i close my eyes
It doesn't mean i'm gone when i close my eyes
It doesn't mean i'm gone when i close my eyes
2.Ha! Ha! Houdini's Laughing
I used to live close by the river
I used to let my heart go with the stream
I knew i held the key to any door
I held the key to everything and more
Once upon a time i took it easy
Once upon a time i took it rough
I used to earn my living with the things i loved
Now they pay me for what i love not
The river's running backwards
And my heart is quickly closing now
Ha! ha! houdini's laughing
Laughing last
Ha! ha! houdini's laughing.
Houdini's laughing last
I've been sliding down this track of tears
Swimming with this water chute
Drowning in discontent
But now the sun is shining with a different grin
It can be cold as ice
It can be hot as fire
Burning in my eyes
I used to live near by the border
I used to say good morning to the wall
Today they sell the truth at every corner
It seems that they can't stand the truth at all
Once upon a time i took it badly
Once upon a time i felt so fine
I wanted to hold on but i could hardly
Remember everything, all that was mine
The river 's running backwards
And my heart is quickly closing now
Ha! ha! ha! ha! houdini's laughing
Laughing last
Ha! ha! houdini's laughing.
Houdini's laughing last
I've been sliding down this track of tears
Swimming with this water chute
Drowning in discontent
But now the sun is shining with a different grin
It can be cold as ice
It can be hot as fire
Burning in my eyes
3.The World Is Growing Old
All shout when the music is loud
When the music is low they all wanna go
All scream when the music is fast
When the music is slow they really don't know
If my faces are pretty i've got an excuse
If i know what i want i've got something to loose
Well, the money's good
But i'm not amused
Uuhwee, the world is growing old
All dance when i bang the right drum
When i'm on the wrong track i erase what i had
From time to time as i move along
I take alook back to see what went wrong
Well, the future is close and i'm rotten to the core
It's gonna be too late when it knocks on my door
Well, but the money's good
And i'm not amused
. uuhwee, the world is growing old
Feed me! feed me! feed me!
All yawn when i am what i am
When i am what they are it's kind of going too far
When they open the doors i gotta hesitate
If they open their wallets i mustn't wait
I could afford a fast car and save my soul
Or i could kill the leader and live like a mole
But the money's good
And i am not amused
Feed me! feed me! feed me!
4.Real
In the desert, in a distance
Is a woman who prays
She is finished with the image
She has changed her face
Bows her head down to the ground
She is waiting, weary
Bows her head down to the ground
And then she disappears
This is not about the word
There are many words
This is just about- real
When there are many things to one
I don't think i've ever learned this
Nobody ever taught me- real
When there is nothing but： now
In the desert, in a distance,
Is a man who prays
He is finished with the image
He has changed his face
Bows his head down to the ground
He is waiting unconcerned
Lifts his head up to the sky
And so he will remain
This is not about men
There are many men
This is just about- real
When there are many things to one
I don't think i've ever learned this
Nobody ever taught me- real
When there is nothing but： now
This is not about the word
There are many words
This is just about- real
When there are many things to one
I don't think i've ever learned this
Nobody ever taught me- real
When there is nothing but： now (the future is now)
When there is nothing but： now (the future is now)
When there is nothing but： now.
5.Head Over Heals
Lovely
Like a dream come true.
How time uncovers without haste
Veil upon veil upon veil
Until the love shines thru
Spin this tender net around you
Around me.
Keeping it out, the world that bound you
Bound me
Head over heels in love with you
There is no more to say no more to do
I wanna look in your eyes and travel this dream
I wanna wake up now, wake up and scream
Wake up and run the marathon pace
Switching the powers, changing the place.
Because i'm head over heels in love with you
Easy
Like a friendly ghost
Here am i tiptoe dancing
Into your direction
I'm reaching almost perfection
Spin this tender net around you
Around me
Keeping it out, the world that bound you
Bound me
Head over heels in love with you
There is no more to say no more to do
I wanna wake up now, wake up and scream
Wake up and run the marathon pace
Switching the powers, changing the place
Because i'm head over heels in love with you
6.Big Fat Cat
Slowly-catlike-like a big fat cat
Walking, she's waltzing
In and out of this life
Your last life before your daddy died
She was mysterious and pretty
But now, she's got a smell of her own
And many different faces
Her taste is somewhat bitter
And if you follow her traces
It gets so confusing...
You confuse me, you confuse me
Oooh, daddy kept showing me
How to play tricks on you
And still walk away with dignity
Yeah, mama never falters
As long as mama's her name
And no matter what i did
You were there to take the blame
But now i found, you're a cat
And you live seven different lives
It gets too confusing...
You confuse me.
Big fat cat...
I'll get ya
Big fat cat...
I know i'll get ya
7.Invisible
You look up to yout jesus,
He seems so far away
Your whole world is changing from coloured into grey
It's sad how you come crawling out of this romance
But aside of your jesus
I just couldn't stand a chance
No chance!
No way!
Oh, but i surely miss it sometimes
(sometimes i miss it, oh).
As now i walk the crookes lines
(i like to walk the crooked lines)
I found it to hard to discover
They were over
(they are over)
The times when i was invisible
My coat of dreams is torn,
The shreds are crumbling in my hands
All birds have spread their wings to sail the foreign lands
Wisdom does prevail
When wisdom is allowed
To think about a fight and dare to risk it,
Is better then to fight a thought that is right, but risky
Oh, but i surely miss it sometimes
(sometimes i miss it, oh).
As now i walk the crookes lines
(i like to walk the crooked lines)
I found it do hard to discover
They were over
(they are over)
The times when i was invisible.
I found myself a new love
And i feel so good these days
When i look back i can spot that old companion in the haze
He never cared to look at me
He never dared to see
How he turned and danced and stirred
How he died for me
Just to please me
To keep me
Oh, but i surely miss it sometimes
(sometimes i miss it, oh).
As now i walk the crookes lines
(i like to walk the crooked lines)
I found it do hard to discover
They were over
(they are over)
The times when i was invisible
8.Mystery Train
Once i dreamed i lost my shoes
Then i found i'd lost my feet
Once i thought i lost my sight
Then i found i lost my vision
Once i felt i lost my soul
There i wished i'd loose my mind
I threw a coin for st. antoine
He said： put your money in the bank
It never helped anyone
Taking a ride on this mystery train
Taking a trip to my heart is all in vain.
Don't throw a coin
Throw a stone
St. antoine left all alone on this foolish parade
Once i dreamed i was a star
Then i found i was the whole universe
Once i thought i'd lost my pride
Then i found i'd lost the reason why
So i sang to loose my fears
When they were gone
I felt so lonely
I threw a coin for st. antoine
He said： put your money in the bank
It never helped anyone
Taking a ride on this mystery train
Taking a trip to my heart is all in vain
Don't throw a coin
Throw a stone
St. antoine left all alone on this foolish parade
(instrumental)
Taking a ride on this mystery train...
Taking a trip...
9.Woman With The Golden Eye
Here's a movie slowly moving
There is music in the distance
I hear nothing but the past
Like a fist i'm slowly closing
As i dance and fall like rain
It's coming down in black and white
It's coming down as somthing else
Something that nobody claims
Woman with the golden eye
Can see futher then the sky
Woman with the golden eye
Can see futher then the sky
Like a love that never ended
The fundamental mood of why
I hear the grass and trees are-a-singing
And voices in another room
As i dance and rise like heaven
Return into a sunken dream
The center of a hurricane is free of guilt and safe of pain
Woman with the golden eye
Can see futher then the sky
Woman with the golden eye
Can see futher then the sky
The center of a hurricane is free of guilt and safe of pain
The center of a hurricane is free of guilt and safe of pain
10.Things Change
Read it in the papers
Read it in the books
Find it in the mail-box
Between the lines and hooks
The games we play
And hope to win
Things change
Step into the hallway
Step out into the street
Hang out at those places
Were all the people meet
The avant-garde
And right from the start
Things change
I used to be a marylin
Like so many others
The saddest clown you've ever seen
On yout television screen
That was style
But now it seems sort of senile
Miles away from here
Miles away from you and me
Ideas are running wild and free
The wind chases them up and down
Never lets them touch the ground
They pretend to sleep and let it be
But when they wake up
And put on a make-up
They set up a new rule
The same old scheme
The same old dream
That things change
I used to be a king of need
Like so many others
I used to sell my heart and soul
Once in a while
And that was style
Just now some miles away from here
The wind chases me up and down
Never lets me touch the ground
I pretend to sleep and let it be
But when i wake up
I put on a make-up
And set up a new rule
That's how things change
