Beat of the Whale Heart
Deliver the codes take this road but take the other one also
Just go you’ll never know anyhow which one will be better
Auto-explode on a sailing boat in your sailing coat
Contemporary state of the art sailing coats with nothing underneath
Are never ever made of leather
I just don’t know why life hides away I got to go
I just won’t throw my bright lights on the streets in the heat
Of the beat of the whale heart
Don’t be picky make your lips look sticky
Get a lover called Ricky make that quickie it won’t be tricky
Be witty be pretty
Flow go slow so you won’t get thrown over board of this littly shippy
Do it but don’t do it out of pity
I just don’t know why life hides away it’s got to go
I just won’t throw my bright lights on the streets in the heat
Of the beat of the whale heart
Everybody’s falling sometime in the nighttime
Men and women falling for you into the deepest blue of the whale heart
A while ago in a microwave oven in Mehico or is it Mexico
A girl told me so she said just let go I didn’t know how
She said right into the beating of the whale heart that’s where lovers go
So undercover daddies bad-ass Betties get yourself ready
If you don’t know where the bed is your head is right where you led it
Your legs you spread it
Fingertips tiptoe they go below slow oh no
Feet thighs arms ass back shoulders elbows
I just don’t know why life hides away that’s got to go
I just won’t throw my bright lights on the radio
Right into the beating of the whale heart that’s where lovers go
If we two get by that well we could swim into the ocean just a little bit further
So You Run
They tie your shoestrings tidy your little butt and the wilderness in your face
They say cheer up a bit cause only if you cheer up a bit
Sun has a slight chance to show
Feed you provisions the size of ping-pong balls
But your mouth is busy rearranging the common image of sheer loudness
You dear loudness must go
So you run
The toilet bowl a castle that is guarded by a master thief
Who when talked to is so fast asleep if you only tell a good joke
The tree outside your window a cathedral
The night a graveyard as you awoke
Most birds are evil but one probably isn’t
It says hey you gotta go
So you run
You arrive at the egde of a river you can’t swim so you’re trying it with fly
But you die but another life has been given to you this time
A whole fleet of pirate ships a captain with your face but only with one eye
The other one he threw at the queens and the virgins
The princesses the carpenters‘ wives
The way they looked at the world simply became your way including all their fears
Including their twisted love for one another
Love is the mother love is the father love is the bother
So you run
So as you showed up with a new lover you looked trapped with a wild animal’s eye
And this eye scanned the room for emergency exits
While the other one undeniably smiled
And when the two eyes looked at each other they watched as each one started to cry
One said I forgive you the other too said I forgive you
Forgiveness is all that matters in the second you die
It’s a peculiar thing to say your lover said but you’re not dead
As a matter of fact you’re currently alive
So let’s run a bit together if you want to
But let’s have an eye on it that we get back in time
Every Living Thing
You came out of the water you came out of the water again
You came out of the water you came out of the water but then
When the time’s right when the time’s right you begin
When the time’s right when the time’s right
She was the world when you saw her she was a light from within
She was the world when you saw her she was every living thing
Cause the time might time might begin
Cause the time might step into your skin
Might you fight yourself till you’re brighter
Than the sun that in the first place showed up to light you
And sometimes even guide you like any living thing
Okay you came from nothing you return to nothing
You’re as clever as that but is it enough then
Love isn’t nothing love isn’t nothing
She was nobody’s daughter just beauty and sin
She was nobody’s daughter oh boy she’ll never let you in
This is your night with its sadness within
This is your night and your day ready to begin
Cause when the time’s right when the time’s right you begin
When the time’s right when the time’s right you begin
Worlds might crash and galaxies collide sometimes
And for a little while you get sight of your life united
With all the love that’s been provided by every living thing
Housing Parties
Your cigarettes you lost them in the sofa you look under it
You find a picture of yourself as a fully-fledged lover
You’re trying to cover it
Sometimes you just don’t know what you’re afraid of
Especially at housing parties
You’re introduced to a friend of a friend
About whom you before heard the intimidating story that she had seduced
An alleged half-millionaire from France
And over a spilled glass of tomato juice
You hear the jokes you get the news that the final Bloody Mary
Has gone missing at sea
Oh tragedy
A full millionaire now that we need one
Paying for the better part of the rescue mission is not seen anywhere
Or is it the guy rolling joints in the rocking chair over there
Oh that is not a joint
It’s the artillery
Who could be so quick-witted so flirty so committed
To the art of not-comparing so kind so warm so daring
So endlessly relentlessly attracting our sympathy
In my case even an apathy disguised as modesty
In the face of all this majesty
Some free divine hand
Must have directed our feet ´round the living room table as we all danced
Our moves half robot-style half worshipping a death metal band
We all held hands why not be friends
Even two of us kissed
One was you and the other was me
Who could be so quick-witted so flirty so committed
To the art of not-comparing so kind so warm so daring
So endlessly relentlessly attracting our sympathy
In my case even an apathy disguised as modesty
In the face of all this majesty
Row Row Row
You get deceived so easily they sell you the blisters on your fingers
They are dancing around with a masterful exuberance
They have their merciful moments more in summer than in winter
First they provoke it and then steer you through the turbulence
And so you row
There you go
You’re only playing your part
We got a pain in out hearts we believe will be managed by our leaders
We got a history of captains that never really gave a shit about us
They say fast and with a slight feeling of shame we find ourselves
Really speed up but if we say hey maybe this way
They just need a blink of an eye to silence and doubt us
So we row
The ship has to go
So we’re playing our parts
Row
With a smile they show us our parts
Piers Morgan
I am not ready to go
Got my ideas why this is so
Started a book about it all
I hope it’s terrific and out by early fall
And if my love scenes gonna fail
I’ll let the guy walk into jail
He’d be on a Netflix show some time on the screen in the left corner
There’s a picture of him as a toddler with a monstrous smile
Life sometimes wins over the lies that lie within
And sometimes it falls
But Piers Morgan always wins
The self-righteousness under his skin just makes me crawl
I am not claiming to be sane
I found out mostly it’s a matter of shame
I once had a lover a dancer
She pushed all the buttons till finally I caught a glimpse of myself as a man
Love was the game
Life sometimes wins over the lies that lie within
And sometimes it falls
But Piers Morgan has a fabulous grin
The self-righteousness under his skin just makes me crawl
Holes in the Ground
I’m so attracted I am attracted to
A life not reflected a love that is plain and true
But there’s holes in the ground
The saber-toothed tigers buffaloes and the dinosaurs too
They wave their hellos and kiss their goodbyes to you
Left for holes in the ground
Sometimes I’m afraid I won’t get through to you
A whole lifetime stumbling through
And if I am too late for a sky deep and blue
From a sun that I never knew
The moles the sand puppies earth worms and isopods too
Are probably happy to get a share of the day through
These holes in the ground
Sometimes I’m delighted that I get through to you
And you get through to me too
If our love is ignited it’s always by a spark that is new
And by the holes in the ground too
Hearts Out
Your life is freer when you don’t have to shine
Your heart beats deeper when not linked to mine
Oh we could be dancing doesn’t have to be honeymoon romancing
One second at a time
Not every bystander does have to applaud
Not every citizen does have to be informed about the state of your well-being
About the sadness of your not seeing for yourself any part
So you tear your heart out
You tear your heart out
And you squeeze it like a plastic toy for the bathtub
You tear your heart out
You tear your heart out
And you dance for me partly naked
It’s even dirtier when you fake it for me
Out in the stone pines out in the stone pines
Out in the stone pines you hide from me
Out in the gold mines out in the gold mines
Out in the gold mines you hide from me
You step out of a shadow you made with your hands
You say how many ends of the world can you manage my friend
I say oh do you have another one at hand
And was it me that started the damage again
You say please let’s get out hearts out before we refrain
Can’t you see we’re stuck in this pain that they’re singing songs about
Always something with rain so hearts out
And I say yes that’s good actually it’s always the best
Why else should there be this storage room down in our chest
You say big talk just spit it out what’s inside
It’s important at least it’s important to me to know we are alive
And that it’s all not just a big big lie and that we are together
Cars Drive
A satellite
We could tell it was the nighttime
Is passing by
Like an aeroplane on a night flight
Or maybe it is a night flight
But anyways cars drive all day and night
Carousels fly as life goes on and time goes by
We took a ride
We took some time to watch the bright sky
We took a ride
A bus passenger signaled a high-five
So we did a high-five
Cars drive all day and night
Helicopters fly as life goes on and time goes by
Trains pedestrians of all these nations
Make left turns right turns abbreviations face red lights
Subway cars of newer generations
Cargo ships mobile power stations LED headlights
Of course spectacular drone flights
Cars drive all day and night
Carousels try a jet fighter‘s flight
Bystanders kiss why not do this
The road network booms
How I wish it gets me to you
Shipwrecked
You got shipwrecked in waters
Where your words were just a few more drops out in the sea
Another whisper inside the waves
Silence eroded your motors
And it took all your sails like the leaves from a tree
Including you noone tried so you could not be saved
Out in the waters you‘re drifting on drifting on to this day
First you lost your love but you were driving on driving on her way
At first your hands were getting number
Till they slowly became a part of the sea
Where life came from that’s what they say
And as slowly started your slumber
And you tiptoed into the outskirts of a dream
A little music played
Out from the waters it was dancing in in a beautiful array
And then you saw her she was smiling from her heart into your way
In the water she was diving on surly coming your way
In the water she was diving on she came to take you home today
All of your mistakes all your seclusions and all of your shame
She washed all that from your face
All of your heartaches all of your labyrinths and all of your hate
She took them in her embrace
Into the water she was diving on holding you along the way
In the water you were diving on love along your trail
