Тексты:
It Happened Today
(Francis Monkman — Sonja Kristina)
Yesterday, you know it never really happened, tomorrow, you know it never really can. You, you're only what you think you might be, I am only what you think I am. It happened today... I know that you're afraid of what might happen, Uncertain what to give and what to take. Already you've forgotten why you came here, I can see exactly why you came. What I was I find it hard to be now, Now, I am and very soon you'll be. You, keep telling me that time is telling, I, tell you that time will tell in time.
Stretch
(Darryl Way — Francis Monkman)
Stretched a mile this morning when I got me out of bed, Crazy dreams still floating in the mist around my head. This was meant for you, that was meant for me. I've seen sour men that frown, so others think they think, But me, I prefer those lovin' smiles and a dozen pints of pink. This was meant for you, that was meant for me.
Screw
(Darryl Way — Sonja Kristina)
See the screw slowly turn around, see it sink in without a sound, Feel your head split with every turn, feel the steel now begin to burn, All is lost now, it seems that way. Seeing a face through broken glass, seeing the patterns of your past, Feeling the earth shake, try to walk, losing your reason, try to talk, All is lost now, it seems that way.
Blind Man
(Darryl Way — Rob Martin)
I'll be yours if you'll be mine, said the blind man to his dog, If man's best friend will be my friend until the bitter end. Days and nights which I can't tell, won't matter then to me, All the time in the world can lend, I'll be in company. I will follow where you lead me, our paths will never cross, The sounds and smells of wind and rain, with help I 'll know, again. Loneliness the friend I knew has eased his grip at last The emptiness I always felt has been replaced by you.
Vivaldi
(Darryl Way)
Madness music brings Music madness brings
Hide and Seek
(Darryl Way — Sonja Kristina)
Night-time, comin' playing hide and seek (I have got to find you), Streets deserted, I am here alone (frightened of the unknown). Walking the streets, I call your name, but no one comes, Running through the town, I call your name, but no, no one hears. Shadows forming, where can I begin? Darkness is closing in, Doors all closed and window curtains drawn (all the people have gone). Doors all closed and window curtains drawn (all the people have gone), Streets deserted, I am here alone (frightened of the unknown).
Propositions
(Francis Monkman)
See red button Blow myself up A paying proposition for the abandoned mind A paying proposition for the abandoned mind I've found a nice way to die...
Situations
(Darryl Way — Rob Martin)
Though I am no longer alone, Everybody seems to take my mind away. I love you but it isn't as I planned, I promise you I've done the best I can. Haven't touched any other man, Situations seem to have been kind to you. I've wished to be beside somebody else, But actions are the proof of love, not thoughts. See what a fool I've been, I haven't lived my dream. Seems that it will be a long time, 'Fore my mind will take in the reality. That life is not as simple as it seems, And night's the only place to keep a dream. Soft green sun color still, Warm breeze, high-floating birds, Every year has brought more fear. Younger days seem to be easy, Full of fun and things to keep my mind awake. But now I have to think for someone else, Cannot even think straight for myself.
