Good morning, bad feeling,
can’t you see you’ve got a dark shade walkin’ beside
Winds blowin’
Earth shakin’
Can’t you hear
Hundred voices helplessly crying
And I’ve seen that big cloud comin’
Through the tombstone in your eyes
When this world fucks up
We will fall together
Some will say we didn’t even try
The California dream
People talked about
Is burning on the hill
They’ve got another dream
A way more catchy and mean
It scares the shit just out of me
They’re running
God-fearing
Well aligned
Paranoid sight leading their mind
Good morning bad feeling
Can’t you feel
all this shit’s just haunting your life
I have see that big cloud comin’
Through the tombstone in your eyes
When the world fucks up
We will go together
Some will say we didn’t even try
The California dream
People talked about
Has been put on a shelf
They ‘ve got another dream
A way more catchy and mean
It scares the shit just out of me
And I have seen that big cloud comin’
Through the tombstone in your eyes
When the world fucks up
And we will go together
Some will say we didn’t even try
I see no world without you

That Reason Why
03:39

|

Some friends suggesting “why don’t you measure your feelin’?”
You got back to them you’ll be hangin’ for a while
That’s not your main concern and you don’t really need it
And there’s so much trouble all around
You’ve got that reason why you know
For too long my friend, you’ve been thinking so evil
You’ve got an endless issue stuck in your brain
It might get better but the future’s so mean
there’s so much trouble all around
You’ve got that reason why you know
When you ain’t got clue about where to go
You’ve got that reason why that matters
All in all it’s just a feeling
You would get it anyway
If you don’t you’re barely livin’
You ain’t got no reason why
Whatever happens you will keep your decision
Whatever they say you’ll be far away gone
Everybody is so sick of your grieving
And there is so much trouble all around
You’ve got that reason why you know
When you ain’t got clue about where to go
You’ve got that reason why that matters
When you ain’t got clue about where to go
You’ve got that little reason why that matters

It's been a long time mama since I ramble
Those tricksters all around me blur my sight
My spirit ‘s raising hell it sweats out of my skin
You watch me walking down my way
Passing from town to town
Sometimes I wonder
How can I keep myself from feelin’ blue?
Why should I reach the top of the junkpile?
Sometimes just wonder
If there is any reason to break free
I left behind my drum rug down in Feldkirch
That was covered with glass and beers
There I got some good company
It's been a long time mama since I ramble
Those tricksters all around me blur my sight
My spirit ‘s raising hell it sweats out of my skin
You watch me walking down my way
Moving my first steps into that city
I thought that all of my wrongs were buried low
And sooner than expected they come back to me
Later on they're knocking at my door
Sometimes I just wonder If there is any reason to break free
I left behind my clothes somewhere in Chemnitz
Or maybe in Kortrijk, down at the Pit’s
There I got some good company
Passing from town to town
Sometimes I wonder
How can I keep myself from feelin’ blue?
Why should I reach the top of the junkpile?
Sometimes I wonder
If there is any reason to break free
I left behind my mind somewhere in Paris
Or maybe in Kortrijk, down at the Pit’s
I’ve got all of my records packed in my trunk
And my most favorite ones in front with me
Some friends they’re gonna play with me at Crowbar tonight
There I got some good company
Yeah there I got some good company

I bought this rhinestone suit in California
These boots came all the way from Mexico
This Cadillac ain't nothin' son you ought to see the Greyhound
I bought to take my band from show to show
Seen my face a thousand times on TV and heard me on your local radio
And in your eyes I see the admiration there for me
But son there's something that you ought to know
Well I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'
Motel rooms ain't nothing like a home
Money can't make love grow any stronger when you leave your woman home alone
She can't raise the children with no daddy
She can't love a man that's always gone
It takes a whole lot more than pride to keep your feelings locked inside
While you sing another pretty country song
It's true I took some pills to stay awake son
And this diamond ring I wear is just for show
I've got a little cabin in the country
When I'm not on the road that's where I go
Try and put my feelings down on paper
Right or wrong the show has to go on
I can cry down deep inside and keep on smilin'
While I sing another pretty country song
But I've got to take a drink to keep from shakin'

Got Blood In My Rhythm
02:50

I saw my career going downhill,
I saw my heroes left and gone,
memories and comebacks
and normal and weird things
I hardly can count them all.
You said it’s fun, as a matter of fact,
you wish all this was yours.
Every time you’re leaving every time you arrive
every time you need some love.
There must be a great commitment they all say
and despise you as they all get
you know that kind of feeling when you can’t relax?
Well I’d say I got blood in my rhythm babe.
Want to know what I’m gonna do babe?
Drinking and kicking and picking and taking the blame.
And when your life was showing its bill
you got to realize your wrongs and rights.
Get over your troubled mind,
getting low, getting high, feeling lone.
Oh lord I’ve never ever signed any deal
and I still got some miles ahead.
Memories and comebacks
and normal and weird things
I hardly can count them all.

Look up, look down that lonesome road
Hang down your little head and cry my love
Hang down your little head and cry
The best of friends must part some time
And why not you and I my love
And why not you and I
The longest train i ever saw
Went down that georgia line my love
Went down that georgia line
The only girl I've ever loved
Is on that train and gone my love
Is on that train and gone
Look up, look down that lonesome road
Hang down your little head and cry my love
Hang down your little head and cry
The best of friends must part some time
And why not you and I my love
And why not you and I

Records And Fish

I spent all my money on records and fish
Hangin’ out up north with my best friends
Wandering about where I don’t know
bearing around the same old cross
I made up for something, keep the pain away
It worked for a short while till it’s back again
Shot all the left rounds till I lost my aim
Good willing cold winds cutting my face
I tried hard to shake it and not to complain
Set bridges on fire, take care of me
While finally accepting it hadn’t been worth it
Then I tripped over a doubt
Destructively falling
head over heels
into some deeper dark hole
down the line
I picked and I jammed out with Rela and G
I strolled by the lake’s voice and green mountains’ breathe
My heart was calm and my eyes open wide
On what that I kept, what I left behind
So I sat down beside you and reached for your hand
I’m gonna make it no misunderstands
Look at me now, ‘fore I’ll be long gone
Shall I say we did always know?
I tried hard to shake it, avoid the complaints
Set bridges on fire look after myself
then finally accepting it wasn’t that worthy
and I tripped over a doubt
Destructively falling
head over heels
into some deeper dark hole
down the line
