About Kings and Queens I
04:08

That Monday morning was such a curiosity
Soundless sound of a cruel liberty
Lights were out, moving picture passing by
It’s time to leave but it’s hard to make it right
Walking the streets I see leaves down from the trees
“There’s no comeback we all have our time in here”
I whistle a tune to reject reality
But there’s no use, there’s a life in front of me
I gotta find myself a way out
To keep me away from touching the ground
We are not the coolest kids
We are not them anymore
We are not the kings and queens
Let them close the cellar door
We live in the shadows of our lives
We dream with a place where we can hide
You hear “tie your shoes or you’ll fall out”
They say out loud “you’re not eighteen anymore”,
“You gotta find your place, but I know what’s best for you”
“Don’t try to make it hard, with time you’ll learn it’s true”

I try to leave but I just can’t let it out
I gotta find myself a way out
To keep me away from touching the ground
We are not the coolest kids
We are not them anymore
We are not the kings and queens
Let them close the cellar door
We live in the shadows of our lives
We dream with a place where we can hide

A Distant Song
03:31
|
|||
Better close your eyes
And sing along
Whispering words
And humming to a tune out of the key
There’s no place like my own mind in me
You hear the tambourine
It leads you to
A place you can hide
Your fears and your feelings and your lies
A distant place,
A piece of land
A solo from a weary music man
A solo flight
To reaffirm the sky
To know that I won’t turn my night in day

Not The One
05:33

You woke me up and took the pillow from my arms
You told me to stand up and put myself together
You washed my face and gave me a cookie and a good advice
You sat me on the table and filled my cup of coffee
But you are not the one
But you are not the one
We went for a walk to talk about our future life
You bought me a sundae and asked for extra sauce
We shoot a clown or two and rode in the roundabout
You took me for a dinner and we danced our last waltz
And you are not the one
And you are not the one
Don't try to stop me if I leave after dark
Don't try to stop myself from going out tonight

Dressed to Fool
03:48

What you see is a mask
That I've learned how to use,
A mask of willing solitude,
Bravery, and detachment
What I am is someone
Tied to disappointments,
I just want to be abused,
I just want to be misused
Don't seem to move on,
Stuck with a love still unknown
A role,
A lie,
A mask,
Nothing but an act,
Nothing but an act
Don't seem to move on,
Don't seem to move on,
Don't seem to move on,
Don't seem to move on,
Stuck with a love still unknown

I don´t wanna see it coming
But I know that I won’t be so lonely
And I’ll hide while I can
And I know I can say these words to you
we’ll rule
again
again
We won’t live forever and
We’ll never know when time will take its toll
so go
and live
I don´t wanna do it wrong
And I don’t wanna think my time has come
And I’ll trick it while I can
And I know I can stay around with you
we’ll rule
again
again
I don´t wanna close my eyes
But I don’t wanna keep them open wide
And I’ll leave it while I can
And I will runaway to a place I dreamt
with you
to rule
again
again
again
Last night time took my crown
And I don’t wanna think my life has gone
And I’ll trick it while I can
And I know I can stay around with you
we’ll rule
Like kings
And queens
And I know our castle will crumble
And I know our gold will fade away
The green will turn into gray
And no one will believe again
And I know that fights will come
And I know our army might fall in vain
The green might turn into gray
But will be kings and queens again

Better close your eyes
And sing along
Whispering words
And humming to a tune out of key
There’s no place like my own mind in me
