Lyrics

well the working day is getting closer     and you, you’re still unsatisfied     you turn around still feeling nothing     still craving for that something you don’t have. it seems your unconfessed desires     conspire to poison your icy blood up     now you still lack a formal identity     and have no commercial sex appeal. just before your new ambitions     could engulf you in pain and lies     so many answers will be heard     no need to conjure your brains up     so close to heaven     so close to eternal life     just another short commercial     before giving up.

Lyrics

memories forgotten     and the echoes of the changing times     opening like flowers     hidden shapes along my path. the landscape stays the same     with every building i’m passing by     stuck in shapes now lost in time     almost like a game. the weariness of my nerves     the alluring sound of my goodbye     i’m lost in my remembrance     within my dreams and my past. i move across the darkness     my feet they barely touch the ground     i’m the herod of my silence     now i know at last. no clouds on the horizon     so far only peace before my eyes     i must go on and keep on trying     to make some sense of these strange times. clouds and cherry blossoms     the songs of rivers full of life     these memories are fading     they’re left behind where they won’t last. i look beyond today     and i still find traces of my past     i am coming down my mountain     the spring will come at last. no clouds on the horizon     i must leave this desert far behind     i must go on     try to follow the geometries of nature’s mind. no clouds on the horizon     my hope is blooming in my eyes     i’m sure it will all pass     i’m sure one day the rain will come.

Lyrics

two women fighting, things will get ugly now     the whole coach is looking, waiting for the showdown     “your hair looks like straw”     “you’re nothing but a cow”     oh, boy, the heat is on     two women fighting     scary and angry     heading downtown new york. two women fighting: two tigers on the prowl     hissing and shouting, whetting their varnished claws     “you’re worth nothing in bed”     “you sleep around, instead”     oh, boy, the heat is on     two women fighting     abusive and loud     as the train is speeding on. i put my headphones back on     this scene has worn me down     the vulgar remarks     the cheapness, the sadness     the drama over the top     this is much worse than reality shows     i ain’t watching this no more.
