Oh you hit hard like a hammer
Straight to the head
I was left for dead
But now I'm born again
And I can start again
But somethings not quite right
I fear
Oh oh here comes trouble
It is always subtle

Like a snake

Down by the lake
I met a snake
And asked him the way to go
He said he'd need time
And that he'd need my mind
To help me to think like a snake
And I felt so bad
Cause he looked oh so sad
And so harmless
Slithering around in the sand
And I knew then
That I would not be able to leave
So I let him sink his teeth deep into me
Then it went dark
And I felt my heart
Shrinking and hardening
When I awoke
I found his note
That said that his work was complete
But I couldn't remember how I got to the lake
And I wandered if I had made a big mistake
Cause all I wanted was just a little taste
But now I'm stuck here
Slithering around like a snake

Nice ass by the way

The conversation has run dry
So I think now that I'll just lie
You're really interesting and I
Think we should do lunch sometime
Oh no what have I just said
I should have used my head instead
I could have easily slipped away
And no one would ever know I came
I should have stayed away
It's not that I am rude
Or that I think they're fools
It's just that I have nothing to say
Nice ass by the way
Maybe I'm hard to satisfy
Maybe I'm a bitter man inside
Cause I've been watching a long time
And everyone I know is fine
They're smiling all the time
No matter what I do I even think things through
But still I find I've nothing to say
Nice ass by the way

I throw a log onto the fire
And watch it burn
Watch the flames grow higher
You put a blanket on the ground
Pour a drink and call me to sit down
And the darkness here makes me feel safe
Under the stars in the wilderness
And I never want to leave this place
Where everything is still and full of grace

Get behind me satan

Get behind me satan
You're no friend you're a foe
You're a wolf in sheep's clothes
I'm not going to take it
I've fought you before
And I'll fight you once more
Hold you back with strength from the Lord
Hold you back with strength from the Lord
For a while I was safe here
Till he comes round once more

Choose to believe
03:49
|

What's that is it a sign
Something divine
Sent from above
To me with love
Dare I say
But if I go any closer
I'm sure that I'll see
It was all in my mind
It was only a dream
This happens a lot to me
But I still choose to believe
I wait up late every night
Hoping to hear
A voice in the dark
Calling my name, drawing me near
But I just fall asleep
All of the time
I wake to find
That nothing has changed
I still feel the same as yesterday
But I still choose to believe
|

In this day and age
With all the violence and the rage
With all the lying and the hate
A hard man is good
A hard man is good to find
When troubles arise
And all your friends are much to blind
And you feel like you're losing your mind
A hard man is good
A hard man is good to find
So take a bus or a train
Take a boat or a plane
Take anything to reach one
Cause a hard man is good
A hard man is good to find

Me & Michovitch
We bought a car and headed for America
It was a dark brown 4x4
With wood panel sides and a red interior
And it ate gas like no tomorrow
We're aiming for San Fransisco
We saw so many things
The beaches, deserts and the canyons
We ate pasta and sandwiches
We slept outside on most evenings
I even saw Mike in the nude
I loved my time in America

Sleepyhead

Late at night while you sleep
I look for things to eat
Because I'm hungry
And under the moonlight I grow
To ten times my usual size
But you don't know
No you don't know
I'll try my best to keep quiet
Cause I know you need your rest
So stay in bed sleepyhead

Word gets around
03:24

Oh can't you see
That slugs are my family
They live in my bathroom at night
Oh what a sight
They're black and slimy
Don't you know that word gets around town
The Honda garage
It's lights look real strange
Late at night after some weed
The things that I see
They keep me company
I don't care if word gets around town
