One year from now it’s my birthday

It’s not that I don’t understand
I’m just not in the mood
these fields of corn before my feet
are slowly turning blue
a heaven coming down to blur
a horisontal view
daylight
the only thing that’s left to see
more beer
to all of us with kerosene and rags
keeping up appearances in drag

A warm and sinful afternoon
the kind that makes you go
oops upside your head
electric sheep come wrapped and tied
our reverend wants to know
who are we
to compromise their resurrection
more beer
to all of us with kerosene and rags
keeping up appearances in drag

And so the firewater brides
went down to the ocean
to set themselves free
one after the other
I am your heartbeat
I am your dog
I am your world within
I am yours forever
to take along
I am your war child
I am your love of god
I am your defense
I am your wish fulfilled
I am your crying
I am your tears
I’ve heard you screaming
I’ve seen you die
throughout the years
I’ve seen you smiling
I can tell you everything you want to know
so did the firewater brides
go down to the ocean
to set themselves free
one after the other  

Mountains and rainbows
godesses and heroes
wishing upon a star
over the rooftops
over the trees
into the clouds in the sky

Sunset and moonlight
me on a warm night
learning to play the blues
postcards for christmas
brothers and sisters
memories that I dont want to lose

Walking hand in hand
where none of us have ever gone before
everything is all we do
these are the people I can’t live without
one and one and one makes two

Nighttime and daytime
heaven and hillside
reason and rock and roll
mondays and tuesdays
wednesdays and rainy days
thursdays and fridays alone

So like fire and rain
we go together
kissing and making up
no need for me to know
anything at all about
how this all turns out just yet

Rockabye baby sitting still tonight 

you don't want no worries

a trace of blood on your knee alright

well I can tell you're sorry

I can hear you crying out my name

but it's hard to say

what it takes to make your heart beat

like it did today

Sitting pretty trying not to think

should I leave this world behind

while the world kept spinning

I made my escape

What a strange day to sit on the sidewalk
and wait for the sun to go down
and the moon to light up the evening
they say it will fall to the ground

Hit the floor, turn off tv's all over the world
just when you thought it was safe
for you to escape

Blindfold bullets
crying love is all we need
ricochet your way and slash the tires of your ride
all shook up by the gospel

But it doesn't seem to matter
and why bother the road
when you're not really up for the ride
all run out of things to say
and getting sleepy all together

It's raining pieces of longtime broken satelites
they hang on to the trees like electric leaves

Thought you were off to do it all
well you weren't
now there's nothing you can do about it
left to blue out in the freeze

Very cold day out here in the open
quietly dashing through the snow
thinking very soon now
one way or another
I guess I'll grow old
we're done now time to go 

Cloaks and hats and weeds galore
wise men appear
safe and sound and clarified
rid of fear
a warm and friendly pay per view atmosphere
anyone who’s anyone at all
is here to be seen
they’ve been building houses in your name
and playing soft guitars
no strings attached
making known the code for our survival
while throwing copper dice

And so we came to realise
our dying
wasn’t all that heavy after all
we were living out our dreams
when suddenly everything did change
the summer sunrise crying
the winter nighttime tears
coming together

And all we ever wanted
was to be young forever
twenty years of age
we were finally making sense
we had done it all

Said if I can’t set you free
where does that leave me
if I can’t bring you peace of mind
if I can’t see through
your thousand roads behind
where will I be
and so we all were naked
with nothing left to say
we were nearly done

What in the world did we do
to get this happy
what in the world did we do
to feel this good
we were finally making sense
we were finally making sense
we were finally making sense
of it all

Flowers for the people
we understand
everything changes
doing the best you can
was always good enough

Before the moon dies down
i’ll figure to speak
before the roof lit up
saw a saucer flying free
somehow I’m thinking there’s a million ways
on and off belief
figure things might happen
right on top of me

Someday I’ll leave for a head on
anything may be
maybe I really saw a martian
downside upwards crashing in the sea

So if noone ever told you
just do your crying on your own
I’ll be around for the summer
smiling getaway kids
you’re into sudden somewheres
it’s a dancer’s galaxy
dreaming’s overthrown
and I’m waiting for you all

Rockets flying free
blinded by the moonlight
noone stopping me
there’s no way I’ll ever
be the same again

So you could come down crying
thousand pieces maybe more
there’s no way I’ll ever tell you
what on earth a starry night I saw

Sometime soon
talking way before daylight and nighttime
someday sure
they’ll be back again
warheads
screaming from the top of my longues
congratulations
got me right where you wanted me
so here’s setting the scene
nothing to it
newsflash
can this really be all there is to it
rockshots
three little kids caught by a slow speeding bullet
showstops
nothing here for you to see
red lights and midnights
stranger than love itself
earthshakes
we keep ‘em coming till there’s noone left
we’re selling sad tomorrows to the children
happy halloween america
throwing thunder and lightening
moonlight in the making
for your eyes only
so power up people
know you’re dying to see
real life danger and reality
pretty scary
to see the sun shade
to feel real love power
happiness and heavenly drive
with everyone around you singing sorry
holding hands and screaming
murder
we’re not alive

And so you turn your head

to look at me and say there's nothing wrong

just everything coming apart like it was meant to all along

we've talked it over

battle goes on 

all for the better

no need for worry

we can still hold eachother steady while slowly

searching for love

we can still laugh about all of what's going on

around us

And so for better times to come

we drink watching the walls come tumbling down

and have a laugh together

well aware that we have only just begun

to feel the real world knocking

we've got time to make the most of it

time to get it right

time to do whatever we want

with the rest of our lives
