Hospital

As we came closer to the front desk
the bright lights and hygienic smell
We were holding our hands like the first time
and somehow it felt like a date
As the doctor stepped into the room
With the CT scan pics in his hand
I tried to defuse the situation and said "At least we got a story to tell"

The Vein Of This Town
04:01
|

It almost seems like you have saved all your colors for the moment when I came back into your arms
The vomit on the sidewalk is telling bitter stories about the last night
You’re not a beauty, you know
You’re not like New York City and your smell is pretty strange
The concrete so damn hard
The people even harder, they keep saying about themselves
But when you wander through the night
Through the quarter of the singing and the laughing you will know
The girl behind the bar she’s waving goodnight, she will make me drunk again
I fall asleep with a smile
I was stumbling to the river, the vein of this town
Started talking to water
´I’m pretty scared, you know because everything keeps changing`
So, the river answered
´I’m covered by bridges
They’re made of steel and stones
They would sink, you understand`
But if you'd just take a walk
To the saint place oft he lovers and the drinking ou will know
All the people in my heart, the lights that keep me going, they will lead me through the night
I fall asleep with a smile
And if you'd just take a walk
Through the City oft he lovers and the singing, you will know
The girl behind the bar, all the people in my heart, they will lead me through the night
I fall asleep and call you home

Barfight
03:15
|

I can't remember how I ended up here, in the bar, I've never been before
I should have paid my dues, counted my coins, taken my way back home, as that guy came along
He said "Boy, you're sneakers look quite worn-out" – "Oh thanks, you're face does the same"
"And there's some poo around your mouth from kissing asses each day"
I got everything I need, I got everything you miss
I got a dog with only three legs and a girl in my bed
How do you sleep alone
"I'm sorry man, I have to go – the last few beers were too much"
He grabbed my arm, his face turned red, he really liked to start a fight, shouted in my ear
"I'm a lawyer, i got impact – I can take everything from you"
I whispered "Take my money, take my clothes, take my table, take my couch but listen"
I'd still have everything I need, 'cause I got everything you miss
I got a dog with only three legs and a girl in my bed
How do you sleep alone
It's like the bartender says
"We got everything here, sir. We got love, we got heart - We're only missing cash "
I got everything I need, I got everything you miss
I got a dog with only three legs and a girl in my bed
How do you sleep alone

Crazy Old Man

Crazy old man with the dirt in your hand
You're trying to fall asleep with those thoughts on your mind
Dirty old freak with the bottle your friend
You're trying to fall asleep in your cold concrete bed
I don't know who you are
I don't know how you got here
And I just don't care
Please fall asleep
Crazy weird man with the bird in your hand
You're trying to fall asleep in those fragments of your own
Oh Screaming old man, husband and friend
You're trying to fall asleep with her picture in your hand
I don't know who you are
I don't know how you got here
And I just don't care
Please fall asleep
Please just fall asleep

You keep staring at the walls
With your great presence on your back
I'm waiting patient by your side
Telling jokes, I never laughed about
And if you would join in, this could be the sweetest melody on earth
From our hearts, from our souls, free minded tonight
It goes like
Oh ho oho
Let's move mountains tonight
Let's eat this crap you love
Say it loud, say it clear
I'm a giant, I am here
And if you would join in, this could be the sweetest melody on earth
From our hearts, from our souls, free minded tonight
It goes like
Oh ho oho
If you'd like to come back on your feet, just give me a sign
I'm waiting patient by your side, just give me a sign
And let's sing
Oh ho oho

Heroes

The father, the friend - the shame in your eyes
Is there life in your jar - or the truth
you've always been loved
Your feet can't go any further than this, they're just missing home
And how deep we fall, how we always come back to the ground
The stories are the same, we are going down on our own
Jamie the man, not billy the kid
He keeps praying for brothers at night, who died für the flag
And all these voices of duty have gone, he's just missing home
And how deep we fall, how we always come back to the ground
The stories are the same, we are going down on our own
The mother, the wife
In front of the stone, that is saving the names of the loved ones
And now she knows, with tears in the eyes
She spent too much time on the ground
We are, we are going down on our own

Wedding In Boston
03:13
|

There's this wedding in Boston, the father is drunk
He's so damn excited, no words can describe
The cousin, he's tired he had a twelve hours ride
From North Carolina, he's just missing home.
But he's alright from giving up hope
He is alright tonight
There's this wedding in Boston, Policeman came out
He's rolling his eyes, he is just hating night shifts
The bride disappeared for a moment of peace
She's crying her heart out, she is crying so loud
Because they're alright from giving up hope
She is alright tonight
Andi f you ever came to the wedding in boston
You would understand, what this life is about
You would understand, what this is all is about
There's this wedding in Boston and everyone is drunk
A girl is counting flowers, she seems to be scared.
She is watching the people with sweat on her forehead.
She just wants to sleep because they're all gonna die.

Writing On Thin Paper
04:55
|
|||
Come on, be a good boy. Help your mom doing dishes
Clean your room and do your homework
Listen to your father, go to bed.
Can you hear it your brave heart, it's blaming you for not asking
It's blaming you for not being wild.
Just follow your instincts, try to spell it fort he first time
Feel it in your weak skinny chest
So, here you are, you are writing on thin paper again
Every single word looks the same.
Kiss your brother's little head. Don't make the same mistakes
And remember to follow your heart.
Come on, be a great Dad. Take care fort he baby
Drink your coffee, clean your teeth
The tie around your neck, you can't breath
By the smell oft he subway
You're cursing all the people but most of all you're cursing yourself
So, here you are, you are writing on thin paper again
Every single word looks the same.
Kiss your baby's little head. Don't make the same mistakes
And remember to follow your heart.
You lie awake at night with all this hatred on your mind
It feels like constantly falling, falling
The clock keeps ticking on the wall, you hear the minutes passing by
And all what's left for you is breath in, breath out
So, here you are, you are writing on thin paper again
Every single word looks the same.
Kiss your baby's little head. Don't make the same mistakes
And remember to follow your heart. Just Follow your heart

Breakfast Conversations

Here are the clothes that you asked for
I bought you the flowers you love
You are holding my hand like the first time
the kind-hearted warmth in your eyes
The kids are at home they’re okay
Your mom she is taking good care
You are trying to sit up in this cold bed to say "At least we got a story to tell“

Swan Song
05:34
|

Your heart is beating, you're awake
in a way you've never been before
Pins and needles in your fingertips
They say 'home is where your heart is, go on!'
But home is new defined
home is just a place you watched your loved ones die
But all in all you're here
And here ist he swan song oft he last two years
Wipe the blood off your mouth, collect your shattered teeth
here ist he swan song oft he last two years
You will try to get back on your feet
Like your mother taught you years ago
You will miss a helping hand, just take mine if you need to
There's a fucking thousand miles to walk
They will pray, you will shine, there is flesh and there's a heart
There's a fucking thousand miles to walk
But you're not the only person on the road
Ther's the army of the broken ones
They will carry you for a while
Until the sun will warm your face again
But all in all you're here
And here ist he swan song oft he last two years
Wipe the blood off your mouth, collect your shattered teeth
here ist he swan song oft he last two years
