Untitled Ballad No 2 04:42
lyrics
download
Here I am, I’m surrounded By an army of wives By the silent monotony Of a traffic light And I’m thinking of buying, I still got some charm, Well, I’m thinking of buying Some laundromat love I see you walking slowly To the drainpipe You flow like dirty waters You could be the one You’re a laundromat spinster I’m an old bachelor We could spend the whole weekend Testing new dopes Why don’t you wash your underwear In the same launderette Where I read the newspaper Since she went away But you pass by so swift I’m afraid you have got One of those white sparkling Evil machines We could waste our days hunting for sales we could go to the swamp Everyday for a swim I swear I never saw Such a dirty walk You’re the perfect spinster For an old bachelor You’re the sweetest spinster For the worst bachelor

There you stay By the lake That’s your place And you swim Slip away Like a queen Bring some tea And the way You wave goodbye to me When I leave…

Where You Stay 03:03
lyrics

How long and cold can the night be How dark and grey have the days passed Hard is the path for the…. Honey won’t you tell me the place Where you stay Where you stay I’ve gotta be where you stay There’s a light some miles away I won’t get lost now that I see Clear as the sky of the new day Deep through the fog I’ll find the place Where you stay Where you stay I need to be where you stay And if something goes wrong I want you to know My place is your place My heart the place Where you stay Where you stay That is the place where you stay

Cold Blood 03:13
lyrics
download
One of those sleepless nights Was keeping me awake I started to think about my day Then everything got sense I saw a micropoetry goddess Drawing doves and flowers I saw a bunch of angry squatters Playing poker in the sun Is this life a contradiction In an endless loop Are these vulgar midnight visions A good sleeping pill I saw a protester trying to find A protest that it’s worth I’ve seen too much, I’m bored to death Of all your padding on the walls

Goin' Home 03:21
lyrics

Through the burning sands of deserts I’m sure I saw you Through the freezing winds of storms I swear I heard you Goin’ home, Goin’ home Goin’ home, Goin’ home After seven years of blindness I would see your face Under seven feet of soil I would hear your voice Goin’ home, Goin’ home Goin’ home, Goin’ home If a mirage shows me the right way I will put in mirages all my trust Its the end for all my roving years It’s first time I feel like goin’ home Goin’ home
