Take me to the moon

TAKE ME TO THE MOON
We landed on this planet with our heads out first
painful as hell, they call it the birth
Soon figured that it had to be done again
When Jesus found you – and made you one of them
As soon we started to walk about
against the tyranny we started to shout
Churches burnt and we freed our love
But still waiting for the Angles to bring it down from above
Will you get me?
Will you get me?
Will you get me that moon?
Will you get free?
Will you get peace?
Will you get that liberty?
Never to soon
Bring down that moon
We landed in this life with our fists into the air
Some let it grow, others colored the hair
Death to deceive - and thoughts to be freed
Solidarity instead greed
We fought with passion
We fought with our hearts
the sum is more than all of its parts
But wells turns dry
When a planet cry
Where is my Angel to take me up into the sky?
Will you take me?
Will you take me?
Will you take me to the moon?
Will you take me
Let my love free
Please make me immune
Will you take me
Please take me
to the moon...

Hold on

HOLD ON
When time is up, and you run out of luck
and your arse is where your head is stuck
When the days turn into replay your despise
as life become a profitable franchise
You've got what you paid for, and for sure a bit less
The market will never leave you out of its “bless”
When your pockets are empty and your heart is broke
let loose that laughter and crack a joke
You got to hold on,
hold on
hold on
to your humanity
When they want you to embrace the fear
to stop solidarity coming to near
When the color is wrong and poverty is right
to save your heart – you got to fight
When the forest got no birds, and the waters are dying
When injustice is set above stones that are crying
There is only one way that you can win
Live life out loud -jump out of your skin
We got to hold on,
hold on
hold on
to our humanity

Demon on my shoulder

DEMON ON MY SHOULDER
As some,
carry a chip on their shoulders
Others,
carrying the world on theirs
But I just got this - demon on mine
A Demon on my shoulder
A locked up spirit
Watching time getting older
Inviting you as friend
to sit there on that shoulder
You, Demon on my shoulder
Demon on my shoulder
One day,
I might just let you leave
With eyes wide shut,
we can dream and believe
in courage to make that spirit grow boulder,
and face you..
Demon on my shoulder
Demon on my shoulder
Demon on my shoulder
But without,
your weight and your pain
Nothing remains,
as simple and as plain
Will I remember,
that letting the world suffer
still is insane
you demon on my shoulder
demon on my shoulder
Good bye

Angel in the closet

ANGEL IN THE CLOSET
There is an Angel in that closet
And it doesn’t - wanna come out
It doesn’t like the state of our planet
And I am not sure - I can be of much help
There is an Angel my closet
I locked it in there (all) by myself
While I am sitting here trying to be that poet
It wants me to stand up and shout
Some people got those hearts that shine
Others are out looking for mine
Some hearts keep many of us alive
While others are being locked up for no crime
Let the love be
Let it free
You – closet
Let the love free
Let it be
Sesame, sesame open up
Some people got those hearts of gold
And others letting theirs mold
Some hearts - beat for all to have a share
And others just keep ticking in pairs
Let the love free
Let it be
I got an Angel in my closet

Butterflies

BUTTERFLIES
What are those tickles within?
Making your heart jump – taking a spin (out of your skin)
Like a wind that found its way home
Bringing back that long lost love song (LOVE SONG)
Nothing to loose and everything to win
You let them loose – you let them sing
That fragile note - running through your vein
Hoping for someone to catch the refrain
Butterflies
Butterflies
They say there are many walks of life
But mostly we are all very much alike
You heart speaks any language there is
Send your butterflies away and make a wish
Butterflies – amazing to see
Butterflies - so hard to catch
I forgot the breath
And Opened up that chest
And a butterfly landed on her heart
IT LANDED ON HER HEART
It landed on her – heart
Amazing to see but too hard to catch
Never staying still and unwilling to attach
Some live long, but many die to young
Letting that love song unsung
Like the day is sharing its light
On those with nothing and those with the might
You got enough life trapped in your ice
To send the love to all under the sky
Start a new breath
Oooh, de-feat that death
And a butterfly - might land on your heart
It may land on your heart
It may land on the moon

American Cowboy

AN AMERICAN COWBOY
Do you ever wonder why?
poverty still exists this day
And that you’re supposed to give it A OKEY
(Why?)
What is crawling up your nose
Official dogmas
with the Emperor's new clothes
Get out of there
I don’t want you here
I’m still waiting for that American cowboy
A sharpshooter ready to fight the law
Do you ever wonder why?
When you are deep down in the ditch
still you are to feed the rich
They have
ventured into your mind
your heart goes in – meat comes out of the grind
The law is written to be
a tool keeping millions in slavery
Nothing + nothing is always zero
Where is our American hero?
Where is that American hero?
A sharpshooter ready to fight the law
Where is that American cowboy?
A sharpshooter ready to fight the law
(Oh, shit - I forgot – he’s still out killing the Indians)
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Don't believe a word of their truth
Stand up against this tyranny
take over the ship – make mutiny
It is time for a new civilization
Where we all can make sense of the equation
1+1 is more than 2
But it all starts with me and you

PIG
I am a pig – singing to the moon
Are you a pig – singing to the moon?
Can you hear the beauty in my song
I am a Tree, dancing in the wind
I am the grass taking your head for a spin
I am a bird, i'm a fish, and I'm a fucking cookaroach
I am the fur with 4 short legs, your handsome overcoat,
I am an ant, plant, Bambi deer, the one looking out for Nemo
I am in your pants, on your plate, mate, your meat at the Bistro
I am a pig – you pig!
I am a pig
singing to the moon
I am pig
Can you hear the beauty in my song
I am the whole wide living world
in front of your eyes
not happy, not happy to listen to your (fucking) lies
I am the bug, biting back
The rat - eating your cheese
carrying a friend of mine
coming to stay with thee
I am your Master- you slave- Life-igniter and your grave
I am storm hitting hard
coming to clean up your junkyard
and I am
A Pig – singing to the moon
Can you now hear it, the beauty in my song

Doubt

DOUBT
What is that,
whisper gaining control?
Tormenting your soul?
Why wont they - shut up?
Those questions you - forgot,
Made your heart stop,
Ticking..
What is that
Wind in your soul
Blowing away that sensation
From the land of imagination
No hiding
You Well-worn ways
Doubt’s abiding
And You’re his prey
I got it
I got it
Do you get it?
I got the Doubt
I got it
I got it
Don’t you get it?
I got the Doubt – You got the Doubt
Certainty and truth
Left with your days of youth
Don’t crucify your heart
Embrace that Doubt
I know you
I know you got it
Unleash that beast
And invite life to the feast
I got it
I got it
Here you have it?
I’ll bring you that Doubt
You got it
You got it
Did you get that?
I’ll be your own personal doubt
What is right is wrong
You’ve known that all along
Put all the faith in your doubt
Stand up and shout!
I got it
I got it
Did you get that?
I AM your doubt!
C’mon everybody
Stand up and shout
We got the Doubt!
Stand up and shout!
We got the Doubt
I got it
You got it!
They got it!
Long live our Doubt

Die tomorrow

DIE TOMORROW
What would you do
if you were to die tomorrow?
What would you do
if you were to die tomorrow?
With a smile on your lips
or by a heart filled with sorrow?
What would you do
If the train was leaving
or you had to get off
Would you be lusting for life
or just push for stop?
Would you:
Life a lifetime in a day
until that final beat
or fall down on your knees
and pray
What would you do
if there were no tomorrow
Would you be trying to undo
or just remaining that echo
What would you do
if tomorrow was stolen
by those arrogant few
Would you walk with the natives
would you die – for tomorrow?
Would you die for tomorrow?

Motion sickness

MOTION SICKNESS
I think I got the motion sickness
- change it craves
A soul that's to scared to meet
the day of well worn-ways
I think I got a motion sickness
that stillness can't treat
making you nauseous
if you don't keep on moving your feet
You got to move
Nothing less
can fill that hole
of emptiness
I think I got the motion sickness
a kind that keeps you dreaming
rootlessness – a curse – to embrace
we are heading out into the space
You got to move
to get relief
hi dog, cut your leash
Like a flower without its bee
Like the caged demanding to be free
Like the grass growing straight through
that concrete
Where is that place where all the good things happen?
And I wonder – are there Angels in America
Like a yang without its ying
Like a planet that is - living
You got to keep on moving,
keep on moving – to live
Hi Don Quixotes – lets fight our windmills
set free - that place - where the good begins

Spare roots
03:52

SPARE ROOTS
I walked through a forest today
where the trees had a lot to say
had to watch my back
seemed they thought I'd lost my track
Many squeaking in discontent
of things that I never meant
I didn't come here to up-root
Only wanting to hide away
in my spacesuit
Wanting to hide away
not to pollute
I had to
I had to I had to cut loose
Walked through many lives today
I've been granted an extended stay
Some already complete
others abandoned in defeat
There was too much to say, and
my boots were already walking away
The feet had to follow
Cause - hers was growing roots
Deep into the ground
and I was nowhere to be found
I had to
I had to
I had to cut loose
Hey tree – have you got some spare roots for me?
Hey you tree – Hey you tree – Hey you tree
There is not much more to say
Only some (of you) are here to stay
Leave your roots behind and become that door
or decompose on the forest floor
Hey tree – have you got some spare roots for me?
Hey you tree - Please leave me yours when you go

The inner child

THE INNER CHILD
When I was a child
the world looked so – big, but I
could see – cause my eyes were clear
not polluted by the - industry of fear
When I was a child
I believed that stealing was – wrong, but now
the rich are stealing from the poor
and a part of me seems not to bother any more
When I was a child
not telling the – truth, was a lie
but when repeated over – again and again
you get over that initial pain
Of losing your – humanity, (virginity)
and say good bye to the reality –
Leaving you in line for a pie in the sky
for never again asking - why
I wanna be a child, again
do you wanna be my friend?
People say that I
act like a kid, being a bit – immature, i've hidden
in that past comfort of – ma mama's tits
I know one or two useful tricks
I've heard a lot
soon my ears may - be falling of
my head – that is losing this plot
I think I smoke some more of that pot
I wanna be a child, again
do you wanna be my friend?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TIME?
Take a breath
Hold it - for while
When let out – it will never return back to you again
Take a deep breath
And hold on to it with your life
What happened to the time?
Cause I am left where I was, but what was is not here - anymore
What happened to the time?
What happened to the time?
gone fishing even before I finished that line
Hide inside
or catch the moon
What ever - you do its gone far to soon
It moves far to quick
A heart beat stops and that is it
What happened to the time?
Did a black hole suck it up, no gra- vi -ty damned - bad luck?
So let’s take off
and leave this pale blue dot
And find this way to bend the time
To make it never stop again
What happened to the time?
I’ve been looking everywhere, have you seen it over there?
What happened to the time?
Did it run away with my luck, or is it just me – that’s so god damned fucked up

get rid of
maybe...
that feeling
of humanity

THANKS...
Thanks to the water
thanks to the light
Thanks to the air – we breathe
and thanks for the invite
Thanks to the colors
thanks to yellow, red, green - and black
and thanks to all those living moments
we'll never get back
It is time - to go
It is time - to go – to go
it is time for us – to go
Thanks to the life
and thank you death
for reminding us
to enjoy what is left
Thanks to the moment
thanks to this speck of time
that kept hearts ticking
and thanks to this – rhyme
Thanks to the Angles
and thanks to the Demons
think we've discovered both
in our genome
I am trying – not to cry
we've shared so much
but now it is goodbye
Some say - we can still win this fight
but others like me – can't sleep at night
It is time now, to go
It is time - to go – to go
it is time for us – to go

Passing by

PASSING BY
I'm sitting here watching people passing by
like a visitor from another place,
just dropped down from the outer space
I'm sitting here watching people passing by
waiting for my time,
I'm heading for a sky
I'm sitting here watching people passing by
Some got eyes, some are glad
others just makes my heart turn sad
Some are tall, some are small
some are just a bodies walking around without a soul
I'm sitting here watching time passing by
like a visitor from another song
wanting to connect before we're all gone – all gone
I'm sitting here watching time passing by
this sitcom system doesn't turn off
I might pretend but time never stop
Push stand by, ask yourself why
but never the less – soon its goodbye
I'm – just passing
Just passing by
I'm sitting here watching life passing by
Got the answers, but still wonders why
being a big boy – you never cry
often turned off, but never turned back
just looking at the light through that crack
In the end I'm just a lucky visitor in life
enjoying this little moment in time (brief)
looking at the stars sharing their light
as I will be passing by
I'm – just passing
Just passing by
