Kill a Snake
It’s on television, then it must be true (lands on and kill a snake)
Heard it on the radio, read it in the papers (lands on and kill a snake)
They’re telling us, everything about how and when to do it;
Now I know a thousand ways, but I’ve waited a thousand days;
For my consciousness just being such a mess.
And I don’t want to kill a snake!
No fucking way to kill a snake!
Do not trust, what you read, what you see, what you eat, what you breathe, what you smell, what you feel, what you hear, cause nothing’s real…

We lost the exhaust pipe!
I was born in a midsize town. (Middle class) Middle class, and such a middlebrow…
I’m middle-sized, in my middle-of-the-road band. (Middle class) Here’s my middle finger, cause frankness is my middle name.
I don’t know if I said it all…
Be sure we know the taste of sweat. Hot sticky blood flowing from my fingers!
I don’t know if I said it all.
We drove a thousand miles of smiles, without you. We sometimes lost the exhaust pipe, by moving.

Modern Kingdom
I am a king, cause I am a fucking customer, I am a fucking consumer.
I work all day long, to buy until I’ll die.
Day by day, buy nothing that you need. Pay and Pay, I buy just to feed my greed.
We are dead!
You live to work, you live to die, you live to buy.
Digging your fucking grave; buy more & more, you’re just a modern slave.

Kaleidoscopic point
Ashamed of being a man, our relationship died in the belly of the city. Eaten from the inside; heart, guts, eyes & brain. I’m the one causing pain, just a rainy cloud in your head. This is the point where our reflection is fading, where our reflection is dying…
This was something needed, and this was not simple… This had to be done, and this was not simple.

Where have I been?
My house is full of things I cannot remember. Where have I been? What have I seen?
Who’s this face on the picture? It doesn’t look like her…
I’ve watched the world without seeing it, burned my eyes without knowing it, and lost the use of my heart.
Sometimes we cannot find answers, just questions & sleepless nights alone.

Losing faith
Sometimes it’s hard to keep the eyes wide open. Drunk once again, soon I’ll be losing this fucking game… Slow death of the crate digger I am. Same cancer, poster hanger. If you’re my friend, common now: pull the trigger. Cause Right Here, Right Now, I am, I am losing faith
I can’t believe how much I gave for rock’n’roll these last years. My life is here, my god is beer! This music melts my guts…
Cause Right Here, Right Now, I am, I am losing faith
You know, I fucking can’t, please help me not to lose my faith.

To all my friends
This is the story of a young man just like me. From the town to the city, and from the fire to the ice. I’ve chosen other ways and I probably did right, as the young man is now colder than the night.
To all my friends in need of it, I’m carrying these words: you need that like a hole in the head, but you probably just won’t care…
Blood poisoning, fire it up!
Beware of the broken glass spilled onto the floor; many had died before you will, just by walking through that door.
To all my friends in need of it, I’m carrying these words: you need that like a hole in the head, but you probably just won’t care…
This is the story of a young man just like me.

Lies & Excuses
You say “I do not know how to swim, how to live in such a sorrow sea. And I have never learned to foresee what I should have been. These things I can’t recall, I don’t even understand”.
We learn to lie, and we get better as we get older. We hide ourselves behind excuses, fake reasons not to live.
I’ve chosen a different life, and want to enjoy every part of it.
I feel full of blood, and I see no reason to sit here like a zombie waiting for the end of times.
I’ve been stranded, you’ve been stranded, we’ve been stranded…
You string a line? We string along!

Bayreuth rock city
Seven years already since the first chords… I remember well, we had so much fun!
But choices had to be taken, just hope this won’t tear us apart.
But I know my real friends by heart, and I know that friendship’s for life.
Bayreuth rock city!

Electric snakes
Lost into the night, I see lights all around. It’s blinding me, hypnotizing hypnotizing!
Now, what are we doing?
Electric snakes crawling above us, the sky is bleeding, black clouds are crying, my heart is beating fast. What are we doing?
Stop the car, switch off the lights. Windshields are overloaded; Thor got us, escape is vain. We’re on our way back again.

Living daylights
(In loving memory of Anne Jacquin)
Life is a deadly sickness; no one can recover from it.
It’s like a journey to the unknown; you only have enough time to get used to it.
To me, you were the one. And now I realize the fall. I’m in this plane flying to your funerals. And I’m missing you so much… I’m staring at the grey blue sky.
I hope I could have seen you one more time, wish I could have heard your voice again.

Burning eyelids
I did every fucking thing I had to find a job but you wouldn’t call me back. You have to go to school and work, then you have to graduate and suck 24/7.
We’ve got keys but no holes, and I swear I will never keep my head down.
Everyday I get a little more frustrated, tired of working like a dog and sleeping in a fucking cupboard. But you have to find a place to sleep, and you have to earn something to eat every fucking day.
We’ve got keys but no holes, and I swear I will never keep my head down.
