The warrior went back to Rome The nomads settled for solid homes The crusader returned to heathen The snake searched for garden of Eden
The manikin went back in her cocoon And NASA flew back to the moon The great white returned to the coral reef As the geisha stepped up on a water lily leaf
Everything was like before And the pharaohs killed the first born son Good lord Jesus Christ went back to his whore The whore went back to Babylon
The pope went back on the dole And Santa flew back to the northpole Judas went back to Nazareth And the president back in his jet
The raven flew back to Hades And the shemales went back to the eighties The dandy went back to Perth And the dead went straight back to birth
2. So Much For Suicide
Animated junkies trying hard to be insane With only water in our veins You seem to think the planets orbit around you Then it might be only one thing to do (hooo)
Silly cartoon creatures on cotton boulevard Playing dead just like a retard Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares go away And death can wait ‘til another day
So much for suicide - lots of talk but you never tried A few pills short of a straight line - waking up still feeling fine
A loudpipe duck and a pink rubber Minni Mouse A delirium trademark in a Cardhouse Wish I had your talent for feeling sorry for myself Wish you dared to jump off that shelf
3. Vote For Love
We've been soaked in acid Always praised the downfall The sound of cadent wings It's a wonder we're standing tall But in the truth of the morning glory And the fear in our wishing well We're on to another story
It's about time we all get out and vote for love
We are white zombies Chained to our own demise Decades of sleepwalking No light's shining in out eyes We've painted all doors bible black Wir haben niemals kampflos aufgegeben If there's light we'll claim it back
Time to clime it back
4. The Truth's For Sale
You'd be forgiven for thinking I've got a heart of stone You'd be forgiven for not picking up the phone You'd be forgiven for thinking our love isn't true Did I spend it all on you, did I spend it all on you???
The truth's for sale for just one kiss
And that's how I like it Yeah, that's how I want it to be
The truth's for sale for just one kiss
You'd be forgiven for not loving me anymore You'd be forgiven for not opening the door You'd be forgiven for thinking our love isn't true Did I spend it all on you, did I spend it all on you???
5. Fireflower
You're only but so is the desolate one You're drowning but so was the first born son I'll soak you in fire, fill your black holes And free your soul
Always cold outside And it's freezing inside Into the fire we ride
A shortcut out of the white Until we're stitched to the night Our faith our light
You're standing still but spinning around the sun You're flying with your feet still on the ground You're pray in this world, it's eating you And that's what I'll do
6. Sumer By Night
[Instrumental]
7. Love Is As Good As Soma
Love is as good as soma
I wanna crush all bones in you Cause I've got nothing better to you Well, I'm no son of Aquarius I think the world is too small for both of us
[Chorus:] Hug me till you drug me, honey Kiss me till I'm in a coma. Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny, Love is as good as soma. [x2]
And your friends and all your sister too Let the world spin like the lovers do Let the angels fly free tonight For the devil's kiss, the deadly snakebite
[Chorus: (x2)]
Love is as good as soma....
8. Angel Holograms
Always learn from history To be sure you make the same mistakes again Dig with bare hands or a silver spoon But never change the masterplan
The face of god In velvet black The skies are full of angel holograms
London bridge is burning down My fifteen minutes seem like fifteen years As time goes by we slowly rot away It happens here and now and everywhere
9. Spine
It can't get any colder, no sun left, no light It makes me even stronger, boosts my will to fight So much undone Let's get it on No moral tells me so, there is no wrong no right
It's all that I do It's all that I say It's all that I live for It's my only way
There's no point in waiting when there is no where or when Blow it all to pieces and then build it up again It's understood So far so good Start it all over and I'll see you there my friend
10. I Am In Love With Myself
I am in love with the waking It is cold but I ain't mistaking Proud like Mary to be here again To be here now with my very best friend Merry go round I'm in love with the waking
And when I disappear Into the night and out of the fear Hunting with sword and spear I am king Lear Having a love affair With myself
I rule if you follow I spit if you swallow
You've been dealt the cards but there's nothing at stake What is it worth when your limbs begin to shake King of black hearts in the parliament A skinny white boy for president Triumph at hand but still nothing at stake
11. Heaven Of High
While the rest of you are sleeping safe and sound I'm on the run I'm on the wing Climb the ceiling when the walls are falling apart I'm the one to blame for everything
A substitute for God, a sacred muse The hell with it, it's just a lame excuse Everything I ever used I have abused
All I live for is my heaven of high I'll be there when the sun goes down
Withered Jimsonweed a night on bad speed This purple haze works in mysterious ways Wait another day to wash my sins away In another time, in another place
12. Too Far Gone
I've been through all of this a million times before Seems all my demons got me knocking on hell's door I know it's too late to regret what I have done But I still love you like the morning loves the sun
Too far gone to see the light And I will never ever leave this place alive Too far gone to see the light No I will never ever leave this place alive
I guess it's fair to say that this round is on me Caribbean blue has turned to blackest misery I've put a velvet cloth on everything we've done But I still love you like a bullet loves the gun
13. However You Look At It You Loose
[Bonus track]
Are you a swanlake or a nutcracker A sleeping beauty or a poor slacker Have you got oil for your glitches Have you got thread for your stitches
Are you a suit of armour or silk seethrough Do you think not even bullets can stop you A snowball that starts avalanches But have you got bleaching powder for your conscious
However you look at it you loose
Nothing in this fucking world can do you harm But have you properly installed the fire alarm Carefully read all prescriptions Do you believe you're the chosen exception
Are you a flamethrower or a burned out light A kit kat walk or a dogfight Are you the water in a glass of Pernod Or the blood in a heavy Bordeux
However you look at it you loose
Are you gonna tell me now?
[Music & Lyrics: Edlund]
14. Sixshooter
[Bonus track]
Lost my mind on a bungyjump on LSD And in downtown Chicago demons haunted me Almost drank myself to death in Malaysia And in a Paris cafe one demon dressed like a geisha
And in Rochester my best friend started to fall But a demon doctor gave him pills for it all We were praying to God to forget and forgive But a candyman spread stardust over Tel-Aviv
Sixshooter , sixshooter Don't spend it all on me
And the scythemen demons were wearing black capes Appearing everytime I tried to escape They were eating raw meat from silver plates And stomping their feet to the roaring V8
A demon sixshooter in a six-geared car On the 38th floor in a rotating bar With all hell's fire and a Vodka Martini And a roulette hooker in a stolen Lamborghini
Don't spend it all on me
And the demon's fire burned a crooked spoon In a plastic, fantastic oxygen cocoon On a pharao trip as Egypt kings Rotten, embalmed before the fat lady sings
And a red sun rose over a pay clinic And I would eat more often than three times a week The healing and soothing myrrh I'll apply Fight the demons to hell until I fucking die
And the demon smiled as the circle spinned And in my whisky sour the devil grinned I was rolling another hundred dollar bill And cleaning my nose for the ultimate thrill
