like Floyd Patterson
world heavyweight champion
knocked down the most
got up the most
world heavyweight champion
I didn´t know, I didn´t care
despite the fact it was already there
it disappeared into the night
by now complitely out of my sight
summertime already here
the bastards holding our city in fear
it disappeared into the night
by now complitely out of my sight

Children of Metal
03:43
|
|||
one time I saw you dancing
I saw you dancing in the dark
on a sunny afternoon
your skin was so much lighter
so much lighter than the moon
on a sunny afternoon
children of metal
Jesus never found me
I never learned to watch tv
on a sunny afternoon
can you smell adventure?
adventure in the dark
on a sunny afternoon
children of metal

NYC, Amsterdam
03:34
|
|||
New York City, Amsterdam
I´ve been walking in my shoes
press screaming it´s all out of line
folks moving like Frankenstein
the action runs a good fifteen miles
animals climb fifteen stories high
it´s all over town
not anymore about who knows who
but all about who knows what to do
there´s no more time
I spend the afternoon in solitude

All Systems Down
02:48
|
|||
all the millionaires washed out to the sea
all systems down
all the history vanished in the air
all systems down
all the pain and trouble
all that´s good and true
like a maniac river´s running wild
all systems down
I ride my bike into the summer night
all systems down
I light a cigarette
busy out of style
all systems down
sisters and brothers
replaced the dog eat dog
nature rules again
rivers running wild
all systems down

Everything Is Everywhere
04:30
|
|||
there´s a place
or should I say several
where
arms, legs, ceilings, windows
cats, dogs, cops, cars, cop cars
helicopters, rocks, stars, rock stars
speedos, germans, rivers, cray and fish
amps and fires, firing amplifiers
hopes and dreams, hands on wheels
sickle and hammer, star spangled banner
love, me, you
you, me
everything is everywhere

Patricia
03:11
|
|||
our car named Patricia
we wanted to get real far
in our car Patricia
on our way to Latvia
took us thru the border wall
took us to a forest walk
we all get what we want
juice at a juice bar
and I felt real love
in our car Patricia
we really appreciate ya
real far
go Patricia
as you move beyond space and time
you throw away all sticks and stones
on your way home
no more will you feel alone
rain down, rain down
rain down on the dusty ground
wash and water the beat and weary
as they make no sound

Human
03:04
|
|||
never enough, always too much
human
we´re trying our best, usually not
human
sometimes we fuck, sometimes we fuck up
human
where do we go, nobody knows
human
once we are here, then we are gone

Fear
01:43
|
|||
we waste time like a gambler money
worrying about things out of our hands
do, this, that, don´t, all none of my business
in the meantime
time is busy waisting us
fear ain´t all what we are here for
Lassie might get the rabies
Ian McKaye an addiction
Virgin Mary an abortion
Mickey Mouse the gonorrhea, but
fear ain´t all what we are here for

Radio Song
03:30
|
|||
turn around the radio, I know
there ain´t no show
oh no no
let it go
turn your face to outerspace
turn around and go
oh no no
let it go
there´s no more show
just let it go
