Golden Feathers
02:38

Arms around you.
What can you say?
There are lion’s mellow eyes on you.
You can run, but
you will get nowhere.
Fine, but in the wrong place.
You’re hanging around
like a superb can
with a stereo head.
You can fight
to find an opponent.
Wings of golden feathers
feed your prime.
They’re letting you down
and there is no hope.
Pulling you down
when there’s no escape.
Cooling it down
‘cause there’s no option.
Tearing you apart
but that’s ok.
Cars ride in an odd way.
Letting out roars
as if cutting themselves
with a razorblade.
Crazy shot
that got the right goal.
You’re turning me down
when there is no hope.
Pulling me down
when there’s no trade.
Tearing me apart
and there is no call.
Cooling me down
when it’s ok.

Natural Emotion
04:04
|

Strong dog.
Drops dead.
Another tragic combination.
I want to take his pitiful friends
and make them dance
like in a musical.
I can get a giant stage,
a crowd, fake rain,
a storm, some lights,
a ring of fire
and I’ll give it all to you
if I feel some
natural emotion.
It is late I can see
you are made up
Why don’t we wake up?
Why don’t we wake up?
After party,
summer morning,
I’m not that easy
when I can’t wake up.
Window creaks.
Families yelling.
Dreams take over
when I close my eyes.
I can hear the ruff ruff
of a dog that's barking,
the city opens
to another rhyme.
“Weather will change”
I murmur.
I’m not that easy
when I can’t wake up.
I started a fire
that I can’t control.
It burns down,
wooden terror,
(crackling! crackling!)
And now I can’t stop
this new passion
that makes me feel
natural emotion.
I will run away with you, girl.
I will run away with you.
It is late I can see
you are made up
Why don’t we wake up?
Why don’t we wake up?

D-E-L-I-R-I-U-M
02:45
|

It's so special your way, girl.
Let's do it again.
Hold my hand and let me
walk beside you.
Don't you hear
that I'm calling?
Can't you see
that I'm falling down
into rage, carelessness
and boredom?
and into delirium.
D-E-L-I-R-I-U-M
It's so startling,
so exciting...
It's soft love!
Stars are burning
and the streets are young,
burning and turning
into spiral holes.
I'm tired of waiting.
I've been waiting so long
fooling around.
It's so special your way, girl.
Do that again.
Hold my hand and let me
walk beside you.
Can't you see
that I'm falling?
Don't you hear
that I'm calling back
to say I'm fading
into sadness?
and into delirium.
D-E-L-I-R-I-U-M
It's so startling,
so exciting...
This soft love!
Streets are burning
and the skies are old,
burning and turning
into festivals.
I'm tired of waiting.
I've been waiting so long
fooling around
with this soft love!
I’m tired of falling into soft love!
Into spiral holes. (soft love!)
I’m tired of waiting. (soft love!)

Cosmic Flowers
03:08
|
|||
Whenever we assemble our lights,
magic vibrations redeem.
Loneliness dreams
from our hearts
bring wonderful chills
to our skins.
You opened your lips
full of stars,
planted in me the universe.
Took my whole life
in your arms.
Held it while I was away.
Watered your moons
and the sun...
and now
flowers grow.
So many mistakes
I could make
forgetting your glow
little girl.
Now I feel ready to fall,
surrender and melt
in their flare.
You opened your lips
full of stars,
planted in me the universe.
Took my whole life
in your arms.
Held it while I was away.
Watered your moons
and the sun...
Ah!

Lions or Mercy
03:55
|
|||
Ocean waves,
beautiful melodies.
Why do you come this way?
Why do you run away?
Willow tree,
everyday fantasies.
Whether they're goals
or dreams, when will
they come for me?
Ocean waves,
beautiful melodies.
Why do you come this way?
Why do you run away?
City bell,
disciplined galaxy.
How can I break your spell?
What do you have for me?
Lions or Mercy.
You gotta do it right,
just stand alive.
Is it? or is it not?
It’s gonna cool you,
pull you, but...
Hide your tail!
Hide your tail!
Tell me why
is the wind so smooth?
Tell me why
is the wind so cold?

Wild Fashion
04:35
|
|||
Wild fashion
not a little bit of passion.
Young lovers
don't care about other
lovers in the world.
They don't care about you.
They don't care about me.

Irina

Foxy lady,
lay over me.
Dance around me,
leave me in ecstasy.
I am lost,
it's a freezing night,
but I surrender
into your eyes.
Love me tender.
Love me sweet.
You're a whisper of divinity.
Paint your body
with infinite dots,
storms and rain
shake you on the floor.
Love me tender.
Love me sweet.
You're a whisper of divinity.
Let your clothes
fall in gravity,
welcome an era
of mystery.

Fight for it
04:41
|
|||
(do it – do it – do it – do it – do it)
You gotta fight for it! (You got!)
Yeah, build your own plane and make it fly.
There are no boundaries outside your mind.
If not, they will decide for you
(oh no no no!)
Strength when you're descending.
Don't fear when you ride.
Staring at the distance will help you climb.
Beware at every moment.
Don’t go across the line.
Hollow! Hollow! Hollow!
You’ll weep and cry.
Into eternity! to chase the land.
To fix eternal storms,
the endless doubt.
To burn the majesties,
the thrones of crap.
This world is hollow, hollow, hollow
and makes me cry:
You gotta fight for it! (You got!)
Yeah, build your own plane and make it fly.
There are no boundaries outside your mind.
If not, they will decide for you
(oh no no no!)
Focus on daybreak in the middle of your night.
The anguish and the nonsense will get stronger as you rise.
Walk with steps of sugar through the thorny mellow paths.
As a tiger, calm and clever, always ready to strike.
Into eternity! to avenge the ground.
Into eternity! The endless sound.
Into eternity! You weep and cry.
This world is hollow, hollow
and makes me shout:
You gotta fight for it! (You got!)
Yeah, build your own plane and make it fly.
There are no boundaries outside your mind.
If not, they will decide for you
(oh no no no!)
(do it – do it – do it – do it – do it)
Do it by yourself.
Do it for your mental health.
Do it by yourself.
Do it, do it.
We gotta be together,
together, together now.
