1. Left Brain Ambassadors
He's never been arrested once in his life
Never received a letter from the law quite insane
Never felt the demon riding on his back, he is safe from harm
Never got hallucinations after being too long on the booze
Logic thinking turns to stupidity
Never had longer relations with the female sex
Never been quite all alone, poor little boy
Never had suicidal thoughts, never, never, never
Never quite understood the true meaning of the word life
Logic thinking turns to stupidity
He's never been arrested once in his life
Never received a letter from the law quite insane
Never had suicidal thoughts, poor little boy
Never quite understood the true meaning of the word life
Logic thinking turns to stupidity
2. Wonderful World
Cloudless sky is in my eyes
The sun has come out for air
My dog is sitting by my side
Watching me getting high
What a wonderful world
Looking with inner eyes
What a wonderful world
Nothing ever dies
Can you feel the taste of life
Or are you blinded by the clowns?
Shake the water, feed the sun
Oil the universal joint
What a wonderful world
Looking with inner eyes
What a wonderful world
Nothing ever dies
3. Sedated
Sedated every night
I had my wine and my joints
A couple of sleeping pills
Tears of tiredness dripping down
But after a while
I began to lose my song
After a while
It wasn't fun no more
Sedated when morning comes
Sitting with a troubled head
Sedated but the sun don't shine
Await my suicide
But after a while
I began to lose my song
After a while
It wasn't fun no more
4. Angel Of Betrayal
She shone like the sun in those days
Whispered things into my head
Now I lie cold in my cell
Kissing pills to keep me sane
Angel of betrayal
Nowadays I choose to meditate
With a couple of drinks
Sitting on my sofa
Watching a dumb TV
Gin and Tonic rules
Blood on the floor
Burn marks from cigarettes
My throat pleads for more
Angel of betrayal
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
I prayed that I was insured
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
But she led my mind astray
Angel of betrayal
I ought to kill the bitch
To clean her out of my head
Letting off some steam
If you know what I mean
Gin and Tonic rules
Blood on the floor
Burn marks and everything
Her soul leaves for home
Angel of betrayal
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
I prayed that I was insured
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
But she led my mind astray
Angel of betrayal
5. Blessed
Loaded as the sun above I dig myself
Drinking washes the gray away, it kissed my brain
Smoking makes me catch my breath, I feel alive
Now I feel my inner self, incarnation of Christ
Now the lungs of the universe
Are the lungs of my soul
I can feel it, I can sense it
Hallelujah, bless my soul
I can feel it, I can sense it
Hallelujah, bless my soul
Monday morning you enter hell, not me
I'm not a fool, no I'm not a whore, haven't sold my soul
Monday morning I open a beer and light a cigar
Put my pen to paper and write "I hate you all"
Now the lungs of the universe
Are the lungs of my soul
I can feel it, I can sense it
Hallelujah, bless my soul
I can feel it, I can sense it
Hallelujah, bless my soul
Loaded as the sun above I dig myself
Drinking washes the gray away, it kissed my brain
Smoking makes me catch my breath, I feel alive
Now I feel my inner self, incarnation of Christ
Now the lungs of the universe
Are the lungs of my soul
I can feel it, I can sense it
Hallelujah, bless my soul
I can feel it, I can sense it
Hallelujah, bless my soul
Bless my soul
6. Per Aspera Ad Astra
Looking up from an icy spot
Praying for the re-birth of the sun
If everything would explode
Would you breathe in or out?
Bring me a dog or a loaded gun
I'm fed up with all the people around
Most of them are to me
Like crisp breadcrumbs in my bed
And all I can say to you
Is to fly with the riddle to touch the moon
All I can say to you is try!
Passive thinking, stuck in the game
Souls hide in infected cells
If everything would explode
Would they breathe in or out?
Stranded, deep in civilization
People I thought were like myself
Have turned into what we all once said
We hated so much
And all I can say to you
Is to fly with the riddle to touch the moon
All I can say to you is try!
Looking up from an icy spot
Praying for the re-birth of the sun
If everything would explode
Would you breathe in or out?
Bring me a dog or a loaded gun
I'm fed up with all the people around
Most of them are to me
Like crisp breadcrumbs in my bed
And all I can say to you
Is to fly with the riddle to touch the moon
All I can say to you is try!
7. Save Your Soul
Let me sing for pleasure
Let me drink my treasure
Up to the mountain of faith
Hit me again
While you kiss your left brain
You oppress you right brain
Ice-pops up in your ass
You swim with the flock
Our presence is a saga
A shore beyond the horizon
Save your soul
Save your soul
When I read Bukowski
And when I read Martinus
I feel magic in my soul
Boiling me warm
Do you dream of freedom?
Or do the demons tell you
There is nothing you can lose
If you swim with the flock
Our presence is a saga
A shore beyond the horizon
Save your soul
Save your soul
I'm too cool to be a fool
Let me sing for pleasure
Let me drink my treasure
Up to the mountain of faith
Hit me again
Do you dream of freedom?
Or do the demons tell you
There is nothing you can lose
If you swim with the flock
Our presence is a saga
A shore beyond the horizon
Save your soul
Our presence is a saga
A shore beyond the horizon
Save your soul
Save your soul
8. Until The Morning
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where I've been
I'm back in the hazy woods
I hear the mountains bark
Until the morning comes
I'll rest my head in my arms
Until the morning line
I stay awake, I stay awake
I see no point in
Staying sane
I sell my days to keep
My demons in control
Until the morning comes
I'll rest my head in my arms
Until the morning line
I stay awake, I stay awake
I'm galloping towards death
I'm not apologizing, not begging
When you reach knowledge
You will understand
Until the morning comes
I'll rest my head in my arms
Until the morning line
I stay awake, I stay awake
9. Escaping The Fools
He took me away, he showed me a way
The rivers were running too slow
The wizard said "This is your name
Eternal Gladiator, my friend"
Escaping the fools
Higher and higher and higher I fly
Escaping the circle of clowns
With magic wisdom, with magic eyes
I'm eating the stars and the moons
Escaping the fools
I'm going home
And guess what? I'm not dead.
Yes, I'm going home
Freedom is the name of my soul
Faster and faster and faster I speed
I'm beating the light with my eyes
I find thousands of universes
Inside every single atom
Escaping the fools
I'm going home
And guess what? I'm not dead.
Yes, I'm going home
Freedom is the name of my soul
10. On Dark Rivers
On dark rivers we float
Never to meet the releasing sea
Our souls hide
Deep inside our bodies
We got to feed our dreams
Nurse our dreams
We got to feed our dreams
Nurse our dreams
Sounds of words that are spoken
Merely flirting with the truth
But we never find it, no
Never can we put the finger on it
We got to feed our dreams
Nurse our dreams
We got to feed our dreams
Nurse our dreams
Under a bad moon
We try to figure out
Which way to fall
In this masquerading boat
You've got to wonder
Why most of us choose to stay
We got to feed our dreams
Nurse our dreams
We got to feed our dreams
Nurse our dreams
11. The Goddess
Said she's from another world
I said, "I know what you mean"
I gave her a little more red wine
Our dreams came up for air
Messengers from beyond
Future plans and history
I caught a little cloud
My semen took off
You make me high, make me fly
Make me king of life
You shake the earth, shake the dirt
And we dance into the sun
Sacred words appear
Questions solved and we are gods
The goddess is for real
Said she's from another world
I said, "I know what you mean"
I gave her a little more red wine
Our dreams came up for air
And we dance into the sun
Sacred words appear
Questions solved and we are gods
The goddess is for real
12. Mantra
I've been down so long
Nothing ever changes
No matter how much I try
Got neighbors in my head
They're constantly arguing
About each step I take
My hands move
Like rattlesnakes
And my fingers fumble
Like they've just been invented
And I bleed through
The faking truth
I don't understand
All you fools
I keep drinking wine
Alone in the dark
You know the last drink
Is always the saddest
I have enough pills
To take me home
'Cause this neighbor's song
Is doing it too slow
My hands move
Like rattlesnakes
And my fingers fumble
Like they've just been invented
And I bleed through
The faking truth
I don't understand
All you fools
