02 the unplayable sofa guitar

come burnin’ in flames

shine bright like the sky

let your words blame

my promised empty lie

I was angry for your eyes

thirsting for your blood

my fingers felt your neck

slide across a desert’s flood

you were just

layin’ there

who let you in

you’re the cause of my despair

the unplayable

sofa guitar

I meant it as a gift

like the blood inside a scar

get your hands on it

try it if you dare

unplayable like a dream

six strings of scare

the reason that brought you in

might as well make you sing

sit

and play

the unplayable sofa guitar

pray, and say

betray, my guitar

 

03 squirrel’s cage

running inside the squirrel’s cage

missing all of life’s maze

gold and silver for you my friend

running inside the squirrel’s cage

missing all of life’s maze

we’ll meet empty handed in the end

we’re gonna have each it’s own way

I feel we row the same boat

but in different rivers we drift afloat

each one heading a different way

like fighting angels we pray

may we loose the ship but save the loat

tup turup tu tup…

the cloudier it gets in the horizon

the eager you get to grab the wheel

as the river flows we tend to move on

the blood I lost, the pain to kill

our past will show the future’s will

does it taste like it feel?

I wore a dress of shred paper

richess deeper than the underground river

washing away all the remaining fever

I wore a dress of shred paper

richess deeper than the underground river

I’ll get my own life… later

 

04 desert highway

overdosing caffeine

tune the radio an’ pray

on the whiteline of this

desert highway

desert highway

walkin’ boots

over slippery gasoline

i’m a drinkin’ hell woman

in a desert full of gunmen

even night hides it’s shadows

under bushes and meadows

stars have eyes that burn

no way out or a single turn

no hideout for a rattle

no axe to start a battle

treasure under the sand

rotten oil burning hand

this hot burning engine

is roaring on my guts

throat tasting like vaseline

smelling like hot sand

gunpowder an’ gasoline

 

07 magic tree

had the days been brighter

would i remember about them

had friends been friendlier

would i still miss them

remember playin’ indians and cowboys

wearing cookars made of leafs

it replaced all the toys

gifts from past christmas’ eves

never had plans to stop and leave

had i never been that indian girl

would you ever take me to see

your house in the tree

you took me right into the center

of your magic city

you stretched your hand

helped me up

to your secret teepee

now i carry you in my memory

you showed me how to grow and be

as great and free

as our magic tree

oh, i still hold you in my memory

you showed me how to grow and be

as great and free

as our magic tree

 

08 bend over, come over

I walk through fields

search for your traces

bend over cliffs

let the wind untie my laces

bend over, come over

letting winds turn me around

vertigo with closed eyes

expecting to tremble

with handwritten lies

this body can’t handle

what he expects to realize

memories tend to amaze

forgetting walks we gave

in’em days of lovin’ fever

in the banks of that same river

 

09 walkin’ that same track

oooh, leavin’ by sunrise

walkin’ down the tracks

so few i left behind/to find

no one to turn back to

no one left in my mind

but honey i’ll be back

walkin’ that same track

i wanted to stay close

and hold your hand

feel the warmth of your breath

when you fall asleep

so close to my hear

so near, oh so sweet

you had just told me

why i had to leave

soulless words came out

not always felt what we both said

my heart cried

my eyes shouted

lonely staring at an empty bed

had my soul been stronger

would our love last longer?

but honey i’ll be back

walkin’ that same track

could hold you for a lifetime

could hang with you no matter what

should i pact with the devil

or drown in tears

dive to depths, pray for wings to fly

to hold you in your fears

 

11 words i wondered

stay, stay, stayin’ forever

singin’ this song for you

stay, stay, stayin’ forever

playin’ this song for you

inspiring angel

thoughts i write

warmed by a candle’s light

lonely humming

guitar strumming

singin’ to my heart’s delight

words i sing

words i said

with my eyes on you

words i dreamed

words i wondered

i could have said to you

... (chorus)

eyes are shining

though not sad

could give my heart to you

like all the clouds

i have no doubts

you’re the wonder in a sky so blue

words i sing

words i said

with my eyes on you

words i dreamed

words i wondered

i could have said to you

tu turup pa pap

... (chorus)

words i wondered

i could have said to you

 

13 too soon

the way you walk

the way you pass me by

coldly piercing my soul

with a glimpse of your eye

too soon, too soon

heaven is in your way

too soon, too soon

have i met you too late

sitting in the park

inspired by a star

waiting for the dark

to come and heal my scar

the way you walk

the way you pass me by

coldly piercing my soul

with a glimpse of your eye

too soon, too soon

heaven is in your way

too soon, too soon
