1/Take a breath. Control yourself No mask on the face By and by, a winding twisted line, Makes you feel like a clown dragging out like a dog ah ah ah ah 2/By candlelight, Another cigarette, In a while, you'll get better. Late at night, Another glass of wine Makes you roar like a car Sliding down on a star. ah ah aha ah Bitter Sweets, Rolling down on dusty roads. Bitter Sweets, Rolling down on you. At the crack of dawn, another glass of wine, in a while you'll be fine Take a break; control yourself; no mask on the face, sliding down on a star ah ah ha Bitter sweets rolling down on dusty road Bitter sweets rolling down on you A song may be brighter than a view. A word may hurt deeper than a screw. With a girl you try to mingle. Your blood it makes you tingle. Sing it. Sing it. Sing it....... with your head, with your eyes with your heart...

Well I saw her at the station With a case in her hand 'so hard to tell, 'so hard to sing Love's in vain Then, I got her into town With her case in my hand Felt so groovy, felt so dizzy Love's in vain Well the next night I followed her With a gun in my hand Felt so sad, babe, felt so sorry Ain't Love sane Drove along to the river With a grin on my face Dark caught me, boy, dark caught me here Love's insane Then I stopped by the wayside A shovel in my hand So hard to tell, so hard to sing Ain't Love sane Well I saw her at the station With a case in her hand 'so hard to tell, 'so hard to sing Love's in vain Far away, far away from it all You can go behind the wall Where Time begins to crawl Where teardrops fall

One More Cup 03:46
I fear the desperate face you pull and the pity that it calls Just like this silly quest sunk in a drink called ''Suicide Roads'' Born to be smoked and fired in the deepest hell Just like a bullet in flight I'm glad the curtain fell One more cup... You hate the resounding silence in your lucid self Speechless inspirations Who would have guessed Once that you've decided on a writing in the dried up dawn Recurrent drinking games with devils and saints One more cup.... You've lost yourself on the sliding sips of ''Suicide Roads'' I'm upset and devasted Who would have guessed? One more cup.... Sweet sips for the dream...........

In The Rain 04:10
There's a long-distance train rolling in the sun. Crazy bullet of a gun. There's a face she longs to touch, He misses her so much. In the rain. She's not the kind of girl you can console. But she sometimes fails in her control. All she's ever wanted... it's some cherries on her plate In the rain. She slowly stopped and chewed into the flesh Of the delicious and forbidden fruit With the juice running down her breast The rainbow plays upon her. In the rain. She stopped the clocks, she began to write the book In spite of all she knew, she never understood That Sacrifice was the only code of the road In the rain. Cherry stones scattered all around, No tree can grow from this dusty ground No juice left, in the place Only thousands pages In the rain. An old lion sleeping in a cage. A tired woman in a rage Wrinkles on her pretty face Now her beauty's fading, In the rain. There's a long-distance plane flying through the cold. Tears on the flowers that he holds. There's a face he longs to touch, He misses her so much. In the rain.

Simply Stare 03:26
I brought some flowers today Picked them up for you on my way Will you remember to give them a shelter When I'm gone away from here? I brought some funny grins today Laughters and smiles have flown away Will you remember to start them over When I am gone away from here? Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why Well, it ain't no use to sit and search the light Cos' if you simply stare You will find someone who cares If you simply hold me You'll find someone who's there I got some bitter mints today My memories quickly faded away Will you remember to make them sweeter When dreams come and fade away. Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why Well, it ain't no use to sit and search the light And if you simply stare Well you'll find someone who cares If you simply stare You'll find someone who's there. I brought some laughters today Let them echo night and day Will you remember to give them an answer When tears roll down on your face? When tears roll down on your face?

Hey long sticky snake Can you see me sitting here? I won't furnish any proof It's only the truth Hey slow smokey snake Can't you see I'm here to wait? I'm just waiting for the night train The night train Let me choose the colors, The moment, the chimes and the stage Hey old spooky Mate, Do you really mind my fate? I'm facing your ghost train Your ghost train Hey old tricky son Will you play with me this song? Will you whistle the last verse The last verse? I'll be able to kill the light, to steal the night Till you be there Hey, old silly chum Can't you hear the silent drum Have you ever made the good choice? Run or Burn !

Drowned 04:14
Stay away from my window Move back from my shadow My feet are tired, my brain is wired Adrift like an autumn leaf I'm lost You've stayed from my private glass kept out of my intimate grass Did you hear someone's distant fall? Did you hear my desperate call? I was lost...I have drowned Like someone made of stone, someone left in the cold Someone who'll die for you Melt back into my grip Not long before I fell and slipped All is gone and all is chipped I've lost sight of my own ship I have drowned Like someone made of stone Someone left in the cold Someone who'll die for you Monsters knocked at my window I moved away from my shadow Here beneath the sky of waves I guess I suffocate I have drowned Like someone made of stone Like someone left in the cold Someone who'll die for you Like someone made of stone Like someone left in the cold Someone who died for you

I know it sometimes takes a lifetime understanding love I've no grounds for complaint My heart still shelters a flame And if my days never ring true My nights sound like empty churches I'll let my soul sing out I know a love can be enough to understand life The damaged child that I am Turned his dreams into hopes And if my toys are broken My christmas tree switched off I'll let my soul sing out Oh Love I' ve never felt like this before...you I know I don't need a reason to understand why When a leaf falls on its own the leaf won't be alive And if my years a burden My eyes will shut in the end I'll let my soul cry out
