Track Name: Ra
Rise on the wings of the morning sun
And I call upon the rain
Wash out the dark now that day's begun
Let a tiny bit remain

I am the god with the golden wings
I command while moon's asleep
Bow before me all you phony kings
As this land is mine to keep
Track Name: Time Well Spent
I was a little drunk,
I was a little high,
Charley picked me up and took me
Dancing on the street just him and I

I'm not too sure what time it was,
They say now it was quarter to five

Suddenly this party
Started losing all it's kicks
So I phoned my friends and told them
That their boy could surely use a fix

Wasn't long till they where here,
Not a minute later than half past six

Jack forgive me, Charles was just a fling
Time well spent, time that did not mean a thing

You're my Benzedrine
You're my valentine
You caught me when I fell
And now you're waving from another line

Next thing I remember,
I was having breakfast it was almost nine

Climbing up the ladder
Looking for the men
Tilting my head slightly
Just to see world up-side-down again

The church bells they were ringing,
I didn't pay attention but I counted ten
Track Name: Wearing Smiles
'Stop wearing my smile' he shouted while punching my face
Violence is fun when it's fake
The key is to take it off at the right time in the right place
This time it stayed on by mistake

Not that it hurts but what is his problem with me anyway
I never steal I just borrow
If it really matters so much to you then keep it I say
I'll find myself new one tomorrow

There's no me you fools
There is not a me you fools
There is not a me that's not a part of you, you fools
There are no set rules
There are millions of tools
I am me when I am you, so who're you trying to outdo?

If you don't have your own you use whatever you find
'Hey, got any opinions to spare?'
I will tell you the truth I am totally out of my mind
It's my cross you'll all have to bear

I want to use someone new I feel like rolling the dice
How about that guy at the bar
There is safety in looking at world with confident eyes
And his most certainly are
Track Name: Joke's on You
I'll never change, i never did, i never do
So say whatever fuck you want I'll still blame you
Not saying I'm perfect
It's very sad but true
In any case you laugh at me and choke
And the joke's on you

I'm not exceptional, I know, but I can play
And I do push myself most each and every day
I dream of big stages
It's sad but I still do
In any case I rock and you suck cock
And the joke's on you

I'm singing with a bit of accent I admit,
Well I can proudly tell you I don't give a shit
I might have a fever
Dreams instead of flu
In any case my dick's bigger than yours
And the joke's on you

I used to get too drunk to walk or talk or pray
And lying on the ground I heard you softly say,
'You'll end up in a gutter,
Sniffing tub of glue'
Well looks like that was not entirely true,
And the joke's on you
Track Name: No Name
We aren't what we seem
Our eyes don't often have that psychedelic gleam
We'll send you fuckers on a rail
Till the price is right we aren't up for sale
Come on, must have heard about us
In no fairy tales or made up gods we trust
In fear we never run
We're a bit old but our lives had just begun

We've no name and we don't need one

We're lead by a man
Grey is his hair, he's got no plan
But I don't mind my eyes are wide
The more you scream, the more I like this ride
We're wasting time with joy, hope we don't annoy,
My conscience is my toy
We're second to none
Before we even started we're already done

Some may say we're cynical
But it's just because we care
We care
It's quite unbelievable
the sheer amount of stuff
We get up to when you aren't there
We're not afraid to try things
Not worried we'll get hooked
Some things never change
But appearances and points of view may do
So please remember me on this day
And many years from now you can remind me
Just exactly what I meant by this

We roll in our own way,
When others flee we tend to stay
To colour we are blind
Not leaving anyone behind
We're wasting time with joy, hope we don't annoy,
My conscience is my toy
We just wanna have some fun
And before we even started we're already done

We've no name and we don't need one
Track Name: Dealing with the Past
I remember it like it was yesterday
Sure I'll never forget how it felt
'Leave me alone I'm much better this way'

Brave face on me and no signs to show you,
All I got is what mattered the least,
Outside my blanket it was all tumbling down,
Dove locked up, snake and vulture released.

With no influence on matters in question,
I lied hoping lies would come true,
'It's the best thing that happened to me in my life'

Did it help me to cope? Well I must say it probably has,
'Don't look at me I'm fine,
smash more bottles of wine,
see if I care!'

You wear me as a chain and therefore I am,
This was over the minute you stopped giving a damn,
You go figure this one out, I'm not telling you how,
Out of sight, out of mind, out of my life and I'm.
I'm so. I'm so happy now.

You wear me as a chain and therefore I am,
Your anger to my hopes just like wolves to a lamb,
You treat me as the audience, and that's what I become,
Now I quietly imitate the tunes that you hum,
They've been ringing in my head, for all of this time,
And I move firmly gripped by their message sublime,
You treated me as a child, but I was not anymore,
Not ever since I got caught in your little war
Track Name: Place I Loved
Well I'm back home after a long long time
My head's a little heavy but my feet are fine
Just what is all this crap I find
No place for lonely asshole to unwind

Where we used to piss in snow
Now lonely Chinese cabbage grows
Is this the right address?

Yes I did go away
But now I'm back to stay
This is a lonely day
I cannot find my way
Back to the place I loved

I know noone's to blame and depression is a weak man's game
Moving' on to other things, placed where my heart still sings
Gonna have to face the fact, it's not something we can reenact
Let's not even try that right?

Yes I did go away
But now I'm back to stay
This is a lonely day
I cannot find my way
Back to the place I loved

Life made sense, people weren't cold
The lights shone bright and the red was bold
The grass was green, bitter always sweet,
Music always grand, loud and outta hand

Losing place where you grew up it can be daunting can be tough
First I tried to fight the flow but now I'm slowly letting go
When you look it's pretty clear the place is gone but we're all still here
And people is what made it
Track Name: Hourglass
Get up, we're going.
These were never meant for showing,
I drew them just for you

Stay close behind,
Cause everything you see here,
Isn't quite what you'd expect it to be

Past the bowling pins
To castle made of moon rocks he steps in
And he's the one I need to see

Jump past lilies,
back into the light
Somebody will take your coat and fear
Someone will invite you to sit near

Torn up dust sheet covering this old rag street

Press to start the fountain,
Turn clockwise to lower mountains
They're coming up we're gonna crash

Valleys filled with blue and snow white leaves
The tops engraved with shadows
Of the ones, who in better life believed

If I could find the door,
We'd fall right back to second floor,
But it's hard to see with one eye closed

And you can hear the lighthouse band
And old friend reaches out her hand

To take your coat and fear,
Then she might invite you to sit near

Torn up dust sheet covering this old rag street
Velvet sky shines doubt into our open eyes
Anchor free I'm floating way over the sea
And as it leaves me, once again I turn the hourglass
And gates move closer so that I can pass

Somebody will take things off your mind
Somebody will pose as someone kind
Track Name: Bill
I have a friend, his name is Bill
He always tries to overkill
But never manages to do so,
Cause he's really not that smart

He wears his ass right on his face,
So people call him nasty names,
Like looley, little Swedish whore
Or 'dude who licks his own hands'

Oh boy, I tell you, Bill's the man!
He fries worms in a little pan
Then eats his dinner like a king
And sometimes shares it with his cat

You think that you can top our Bill
Try chasing pigeons with a drill
Or swallowing stuff to see just
How long it takes to come out

He wears his glasses for a show
And doesn't think that we all know
But poor guy's vision's getting worse
And probably one day he'll go blind

Oh bless that hopeless wannabe
He gives us many laughs for free
And I do wish him all the best
In all his not so clever pursuits

He's just a lonely happy fool
Who never went to any school
He just sat there in the mud
Waiting for the grass to grow

Bill's a hero in my eyes
He'll never tell you any lies
But he won't tell you truth either
Maybe that's cause he can't talk
Track Name: Psycho
Acts of my own hands, grip my soul and changes face
Can't control my mind, though I guess sanity still stays
Silver carrots flying by the ceiling cause hysteria
Only one thought comes to my mind, 'Man it's schizophrenia!'

Puppies, oak trees, chickens
Bricks and bullets all around
making lot's of humanlike sounds
Flying, crying, spiting,
Making lots of humanlike sounds
Bricks and bullets all around

Dial on remote control 0 0 operator
Can you send me right away a psycho investigator
Why did my puppy have to die
Green berets call me to duty have to go
Country is priority, I'm a soldier now I now

In asylum all the colours look so white
In asylum you are not allowed to fight
I'm so happy, I've got all my friends around
In a circle we all sit down on the ground
Track Name: Familiar Face
Another face, familiar face
What of my friend remains
Alone but never lonely they'll insist

5 PM I'm still in bed
Too tired to face the world instead
I'll just intimidate myself

In my head some notes ring out
I quickly shuffle them about
Just so it doesn't sound like me

Another couple hours on
I'm still here killing the same song
Just don't see any point to leave

Here I am counting ways to die,
Safe in not getting hopes up high
Is someone forcing me to try,
Using me, sucking my soul dry?

Forced myself out to an average show
Felt time was getting pretty slow
Got up and left them to it

My feet are back on the rag street
My sanctuary and my retreat
Tonight it's golden

I could forget and clear my mind
But I'm just not that way inclined
I turn my head around and see

Another face, familiar face
And not much else remains
I close my eyes and now it's gone

Surely a few doubts in my mind still remain
If the passions burn out and if dreams should go stale
I'd be happy but sad, moving but still,
Healthy but so unbelievably ill

Like fire turned to smoke
Firewood left to soak
As hot as a white dwarf sun
As threatening as holstered gun

I care about forever and do not know why
The word on the street is I've been living their lie
Still I'm pretty certain that luck's on my side
The word on the street is I'm turning the tide

Another face, familiar face.
Track Name: Ra (Reprise)
Fire in the east, making way towards the west
Shedding light on all that lives
I'm the creator the one who moves time
One who takes away and gives

All springs to life, cycle's started again
When my chariot's up high
Fueling hope with the bright colour blue
That illuminates the sky
Track Name: Funny Day
Today I've seen the strangest thing I ever heard
Little Johnny said he wants to be a bird
Fish were singing songs of brightest August nights
Johnny held a little cloud just like a kite

Rain was falling from the ocean to the sky
People hugged each other and they knew exactly why
Sundrops fell from the umbrella in my hand
Sweet old lady smiled at a sight of a marching band

People dancing on the rooftops crying tears of joy
Rainbow stretching, ending in a palm of a little boy

Every grown up, every child, happy, living for today,
Johnny smiles with them, he knows he'll never let it go away..

All I can say,
Today has been a funny day
