The flowers we ate
The drugs we took
Don't question, have faith
Again and again
Remember the words
The sacred vows
Refresh all your knowledge
in holy house
Because I don't drink
and I don't smoke
and I won't even miss the spring
Their programme for today
the same as for tomorrow
The aim is identical
Believer down and kneel
The boredom so unreal
Wait for them to fall
to touch
the ground
Took by surprise
The air gets thin
You try escaping
though it's a sin
Now you believe in
illumination
Freedom remains
a temptation
The multiplied image
of someone so above and high
Hanging on the wall
He's cruel and demanding
but also so forgiving
Wait for him to fall
to touch
the ground

La troia

Dance, girl
here before me
Dance with passion,
my Salomé
The ice gets cooler
as the heat increases
You'll have to crawl
before tasting her kisses
You've got it all
Don't give it away
You've got it all
Niente rimarrà
Smooth movements
caress the dancefloor
She's a desert isle
worth being ship-wrecked for
She's welcome as a sin,
as sweet adrenalin
She's the most exciting game
even though you just cannot win
Watch her slide
beyond shame
Beyond false morale
so shallow, so vain
Where there is smoke
there's also fire
Wherever she is
there is desire

The Rain
03:30
|
|||
|
I'm waiting for the rain
I'm waiting in vain
How do they manage
to resist the sun?
How do they manage
to resist its heat?
I'm waiting for the rain
I'm waiting for the rain
again and again
How can I talk now -
my mouth is dry
I've got no tears left
tears to cry
I'm waiting for the rain
I'm waiting for the rain
but everything's the same
There are no clouds
There is no rain
This waiting business
is an endless game
I'm waiting for the rain
One way or another

Neglected
03:25
|

|
Hypocrisy
makes twisted minds
They walk around
all sorts and kinds
Progressively
they start to spread
Destroying hard labour
and all ahead
I know
you're feeling neglected
The world spins around
while you're standing rejected
Suddenly
forbidden thoughts
Can't you see -
your ego rots
You identify
with your enemy
Hoping, yearning
for your liberty

In Your Name
04:20
|
|||
|
There is this sudden,
subtle pain
that burns my lips
just like a flame
whenever I decide
to pronounce your name
It makes me wild
and hard to tame
It makes me forget
about shame
but I am not the one
to blame
The reason
for all this
is hidden in your name
The reason's hidden
in your name
The subtle pain
is back again
to collect the sweetest claim
whenever I decide
to pronounce your name

I Love You
03:45
|
|||
|
It's no secret
No hidden fact
It's common knowledge
It's something They know, too
I love you
I love your black skin
Your slanting eyes
All the things
that They despise
I love you
Alienated
Estranged by envy
They won't admit it
the way I do
I love you
The latest news -
tables have turned
Too good to be true,
as far as I'm concerned

The Player
03:55
|
|||
|
I forgot the lines
and for a moment there
I stood paralysed
I realised
it was time to improvise
I started to fake
No-one could tell
The audience was pleased
I was as well
People believe
what they want to
After the play
A girl came up to me
and gave me
that certain look
She was an open book
An easy prey to hook
I started to act
once again
Who I am not
is who I am
But then, one night
I realised all this roles
Strange and picturesque
can't provide
a face beneath the mask
But then, one night

Kraljestvo mačjih oči
02:46
|
|||
|
Nekje v daljavi
za obzorjem
oddaljeno jutro spi
Noč bedi nad praznim mestom
Sence nadomeščajo ljudi
Nič ni kot se zdi
tukaj v kraljestvu mačjih oči
Neviden
v varnem objemu teme
vprašanjem končno ubežiš
Vprašanjem, ki preganjajo te
od zjutraj, ko se zbudiš
Resnica manj boli
tukaj v kraljestvu mačjih oči
Medtem ko plešeš z lastno senco
ti čas skozi prste spolzi
In preden dobro se zaveš
te žarek sonca nežno zbudi
Dokler se ne zmrači
Zbogom, kraljestvo mačjih oči

I'm a Memory
04:29
|
|||
|
I'm a memory
Bitter-sweet
Slowly vanishing
Bit by bit
The last descendant
of a dying breed
Unimportant,
obsolete
Bound to fade
and disappear
My eyes are too honest
My tongue is too sincere
Hey now
Hey now
The extinction of truth
is so near
I'm a memory
Gentle as a dove
Deadly as trust
Lethal as love
Jaz sem spomin

You're making a fool
out of me
Gently
but thoroughly
You're making a fool
out of me
Fuck you, MTV
CBS, NBC,
CNN, and BBC
Abbreviation's change
Lies remain the same
New on Brainwash TV -
Improved reality!
No fact is safe from us
Test us -
and you will see
Nothing's the same
when we are done
It's our tradition
From journalist to son

Shut Up (Bonus Track)

You talk
as if it was easy to
You think
everyone thinks like you
Child, you’ve got to live to tell
Think quick, act slow
That is my advice
Check your cash
Before you pay the price
Child, you’ve got to live to tell
