Above the world, we’re not too proud
To cling together, We’re strong

shining bicycles (η εκδρομή αυτή δεν έχει τέλος)

Η ποίησις είναι ανάπτυξι στίλβοντος ποδηλάτου.
Μέσα της όλοι μεγαλώνουμε. Οι δρόμοι είναι λευκοί.
Τ' άνθη μιλούν.
Από τα πέταλά τους αναδύονται συχνά μικρούτσικες παιδίσκες.
Η εκδρομή αυτή δεν έχει τέλος.

And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside.

crawl out your window

He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks
Preoccupied with his vengeance
Cursing the dead that can't answer him back
I'm sure that he has no intentions
Of looking your way, unless it's to say
That he needs you to test his inventions.

Can you please crawl out your window?
Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him any time you want to.

Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin' the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?

How long to go till you hit the ground

Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow

Sunday

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,
Summer evening birds are calling.
Children's laughter in my ears,
The last sunlight disappears.
And if you sit,
Don't make a sound.
Pick your feet up off the ground.
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange,
Sing to me, sing to me.

As I approached he slipped away.
