1. Clouds in My House (remix)
2. The Prow (remix)
3. Angel Rat
4. Panorama
1. Clouds in My House (remix)
Zoning in a hall of glass
plasma flowing from a cask
piercing overtones
mainline into my back pack
it's full of clouds in my house
a grey hive, humming white souls
frenzy reviving the room
energized by many flumes
drip-drop, on my head
wakes me from a thousand moons
circle dance inside the cave
all movement brings a message
larvae, in their holes
waiting for a summer daze
2. The Prow (remix)
there you are, you're with me
protecting all my crew
I carved you, from a tree
my vision is you
Lorelei, I have thee
in front of my ship
cutting waves, at full speed
savouring the trip
down the mirror of the waterline
leaning over underwater life
hidden treasures of the seven seas
I'm starboard to nowhere
on the milky way
howling wind, salty air
tearing at the sails
looking down the crow's nest
gliding in the sky
without sound, going west
boating on the fly
but some day
you'll go home
far away
on your own
dans la mer
you'll go down
go down where
you belong
3. Angel Rat
the idiot walks along a canvas
Sunday rendezvous; mister phobia
@SONG: "maybe, today, fear will go away, I'll
fly!"
a gruesome rain, a seraph wailing
flapping madly, shaking on the wing
@SONG: "listen, my friend, never look down
from the cliff"
@SONG: "take care, beware! do try to catch
the eclipse"
obsession, the will to fly
it would be nice
still, a nagging doubtful mind
it will be fine
straight ahead half luna shines
now is the time
here comes darkness
distanced from above
bold emptyness
omniscient fog
up on the edge
ready! one, two...go!
rat or angel
does one really know?
the idiot walk along a canvas
4. Panorama
walking down an alley
deep in blue neon
a dead end for today
under skyways worn
concrete from far below
rising up above
surrounded by shadows
garden without gods
all are strangers alike
all riding the blind
the purple of blind
the purple of their eyes
in reverie unwind
circling sub-city
a rainbow appears
to calm down the fury
to calm all the fears
this random occurance
is only a sign
of the incoherence
in the clockwork mind
a symphony of our time
recalling the past
people in a decline
denying the vibrations we're made of
somber drama
rolling down hill
panorama
all is so still
anyway, anyhow
anyhow, anyway
end of all reason
is what I go through
yes, it is what I go through
slip-sliding nation
is what they must do
yes, it is what they must do
over the greying landscape
under a deadened sky
sitting on a mountain
I will stand aside
as I am a witness
I turn a blind eye
I am feeling helpless
but it passes by
is this a modern legend?
maybe a fairy tale
just a future requiem
cutting along the fiction that we're
made of
