Lost Between Two Words

Die Laughing

Did you ever wake up in the morning
With a freight-train running through your head
An empty whiskey bottle by your pillow
And a burned out unfinished cigarette

The night went up in smoke
Life is but a joke man
But I see nobody laughing

Did you ever live a day
Like the next day would never come
Blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares
Who needs you anyway
You're a stranger to yourself

And this ain't no joke man
But I can't stop laughing

Greedy, angry people make me run around in circles
Backwards, down the lonely road that keeps me run around in circles
How I want to try again

Excuse me can you lead me
I just want to try again
Excuse me can you lead the way
Just take me by the hand

In a dark and crowded bar
The barman keeps on pouring
and I'm kissing everyone
The night will never end
'Cause my heart is so away

That's why I am still laughing

SHE

I am looking for answers to questions never posed
I haven't got a clue, I'm living like a ghost
I can't seem to read the signs
I'm swimming in the sand,
I'm searching

I hold on to your reasons,
I'll hold on to my dreams
It's all good and bad advice
'cause you have to choose
One friend says to go ahead,
another one says don't
I'm searching

Whatever I try I can't find her
Wherever I roam it's all gone
Looking for an answer to change my point of view
Waiting for somebody, someone to relate to
Hoping for forgiveness, I'm living on thin air
I'm searching

Yearning for a SHE, to show me what to do
I'm learning from failure, that's all that I can do
Working on solutions, a fiction of truth
Keep on searching

No! you can't find her, first you got to lose her

Illusions

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes & the whole world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit sin and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
Oh Love! sweet illusion of my dreams.

Excuse me please

Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight.
It’s 2 am - I’m drunk again, it’s heavy on my mind
I thought I could never feel again so much as I felt her!
Where you end is where I begin,
It's like a river going through.
Take my eyes, take my heart, I need them no more
If never again they fall upon the one I so adore

Excuse me please! one more drink
Could you make it strong ‘cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart my “C” is gone
One more drink and I’ll move on

One drink to remember, then another to forget
How could I ever dream to find sweet love like you again
One drink to remember and another to forget
You think of things impossible and the sun refuses to shine

I woke with you beside me, your cold hand lay in mine
Excuse me please one more drink

I AM

I swear that I can go on forever again
Please let me know that my “one bad day” will end
I will go down as your lover, your friend
Give me your lips and with one kiss we begin

Are you afraid of being alone
‘Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight
‘Cause I am, I'm empty without you

I'll leave my room open until sunrise, for you
I'll keep my eyes patiently focused, on you
Where are you now? I can hear footsteps! I'm dreaming
And if you will, keep me from waking to believe this

I plan on sleeping

Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy
It was just a man with something to prove
Slightly bored and severely confused
He steadied his rifle with his target in the centre
And became famous on that day in November

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping

Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where concerns about the world getting warmer
The people thought they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in September

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping

I never knew there would be a better tomorrow

I never knew there would be a better tomorrow
and here you are, blooming in my life,
like a Dove from heaven, like a kissable Rose.
For this time, I will leave words aside
but my pen wont dry until the next time it'll meet
the illusions of you
