1. The Window
Sunday night you climb in through the window of my room
I left it open just for you
Something wrong
I hear it now
I see it in your eyes
I can feel it deep inside
Mary Lou keeps telling me that everything alright
Maybe she doesn't realize
She wants to leave
And climbs outside into the cool night air
It seems she doesn't even care
And every time I close my window
I remember this, that final kiss
Her shadow on the wall
I hate those city lights that stare into my room
They know my pain, led her astray
And still I hear their call
2. Mary Lou Is Dead
Staring at the celling, trying not to think
There is an empty space where she used to be
Every little thing appears to be the same
But deep in my heart I know she's gone away
I close my eyes and try not to weep
But I'm scared as hell to fall asleep
An old suitcase in her hand
And in her eyes I could see it's over
It has to be goodbye
"Like the seven years that I had throw away
Now my life's at stare, can't wait another day"
I try to move but I don't know how
Cause she's all that I can think of right now
I can't breathe, 'cos Mary Lou is dead
She's gone without a trace
I can't wait to see the sun go down on me
(Acoustic guitar: Carl Sjöblom and Tuomas Nieminen
Grand piano: Tuomas Nieminen
Hammond: Carl Sjöblom)
3. Acid Highway
Step inside my red corvette
Let me give you a ride
We'll show these losers how to drive
Despite the acid within me
Thereshold -10
And ratio is -3
In this O.D.
A 5-mile drive from San Reno
A three-dollar-bill ahead
My sweet M.I. is in the trunk
With all them dead presidents there
We'll drive to the end of the highway
Despite the acid within me
We'll drive to the end of the highway
On flat tyres and a broken windshield
There is speed metal in the air
And we're stuck on fifth gear
A mustang fulla eskimo's
The mescalin must be kickin' in
So step inside my red corvette
It only takes a while
If you agree to pay the pills
I'll keep the engine a-rollin'
(Acoustic guitar: Carl Sjöblom
Additional vocals: Taneli Kiljunen)
4. Gothamburg
Wait for me, don't be so hasty
And speak to me, time cannot be wasted
Breathe for me when I feel like choking
And hold me there 'til I can't remember
'Cause I know we could run away and lose the pain
Standing at the crossroads I would choose the same
And make the same mistake again
Something draws us back into that place where we were
Keeps us chained for years and years to come
Awaken me to a crystal morning
Sleep with me, the hours of the evening
Lead me thru the rivers of our city
And make me believe there's something worth the waiting
'Cause I know we could run away and lose the pain
Standing at the crossroads I would choose the same
And make the same mistake again
Something draws us back into that place where we were
Keeps us chained for years and years
Can't find a way we won't make another day
Gothamburg I don't know what is real
The trace in the sand
Or the wounds in my hands
Or the rest that conspire
(Acoustic guitar: Carl Sjöblom)
5. Blue Lady
Open your arms
And let me sleep here
Say you will stay with me
Until the end
I'm struck down by the though of losing you
Around every corner
In every shadow I see your face
It's getting harder to believe in pain
Every single day will be born again
Will you follow me 'till the end of the time
We're isolated in a perfect universe
There is no right or wrong
There's only us
No thirst or hunger
'Cos we are one
Test my innocence
Is it true
Forgive me, my darling
'Cos I'm struck down by the though of losing you
(Hammond: Carl Sjöblom)
6. Wait
Morning breeze won't bring much hope
Two years gone, it hurts me still
I can't fight this guilt inside
It feel so cold, how can I hide?
I know you're still waiting there
I see you everywhere
For it you don't come back
It's a world without a wonder
Oh, If you'd be here with me...
Sometimes I feel alright
But I could never live without you
If there's a heaven, then this must be hell
It's there years now and still it hurts
On broken streets of Gothamburg
I feel that you're still waiting here
Can't see you anywhere
Everyday without you
Without you, babe
And everyday it's you
I know you ain't waiting there
'Cause Gothamburg is everywhere
I've learnt to fight this guilt inside
I feel so old, I've lost my sight
There is nothing left for me
No place from where to leave
7. The Blue Lady Suite
8. Break-a-Neck
Crawlin' through the ruts and puddles of Gothamburg
With an empty wallet and a broken jaw
It was a bunch of Cuban fucks who beat me to the ground
I swear that I won't rest until
Their wanton souls are circumcised
On the way back home
Jimmy black on the phone
"I found your girl from the red light zone,
She ain't a pretty sigh no more.
I think that you should come here,
And check that things are right.
This chick just might bail out"
Stuff her in the trunk, I say
She ain't no good alive
We can sell her spleen to the rich american
With her shoelace necklace
She's the strangle fruit from the apple tree
But now as strange as the red room
Where lady day sings the blues
Her vocal tract slit open
She says: "Hey, what-the-heck, go break-a-neck"
(Vocals: Taneli Kiljunen
French accent: Rasmus Nora)
9. Bite the Bullet
Well, we could let it slip away
We could forget about
That foolish summer night
But if you still betray
My trust another day
I swear that you won't live
To feel the winter's chill
Next time you won't obey
I cannot let it slip away
My blood will start to boil
And yous bled to the soil
I stand forever locked in a cage
And I can't lose my rage
'Til you come crawling back to me
And we'd stray through the night
I can wait until the sun comes up
And still retrieve
And we'd stray through the night
I don't believe a word you say
I have to ask myself
How could it end this way?
You was filthy
And craved to get clean
Sure, I'll provide you with that sweet honey beer
I'll drug your cute little ass
With some eye-drops in your bloody Mary
Babe, this ain't no love on the rocks with no ice
So roll the dice, beautiful
'Cos this just might be your lucky day...
The acid highway glows distant smile
Wrong directions and a dead end trail
I hate your guts
But otherwise you're fine
Can you feel the posion moving
Can you feel it, baby?
Is nearly there
(Spoken verses: Pitsa R. Tekken Jr
Spoken Outro: Rasmus Nora)
10. Smoke on the Water (Deep Purple cover)
We all came out to montreux
On the lake geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn’t have much time
Frank zappa and the mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we’ll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
