Dead End

Late at night when no-one’s there
She runs her hands through her hair, alright
Then she opens a bottle of wine
The first two glasses are perfectly fine
But she doesn’t ever stop until she’s soaked to the bone and
There must be something she hasn’t told me yet
But I don’t care
She cannot go anywhere, no
All her life she’s been looking for someone
To look up to, but I’m not the one
She’s an eloquent girl with a taste for fashion and
I could write a thousand pages
On her style
It’s gonna be worthwhile
She’s gonna like me
She’s alarmed, of course she is
She’s being chased by someone that doesn’t exist
She doesn’t look in the mirror cause he could be behind her
But it’s just me taking my chance
She is a wreck
Such a lovely dead end
She’s gonna like me

For Her

Bowling alleys, cinemas and parks
Places I can visit after dark
Yet there’s no place where it occurs
That I don’t have to think of her
Forever branded in my mind, it seems
Yesterday I had another dream
Everyone was moving on but me
I don’t wanna fall behind
It’s just another state of mind
A rather inconvenient way to die
Have another drink before you leave
Light another cigarette and breathe
I see your green eyes through the smoke
It’s time for me to let it go
But what I’ll really do – it’s up to you
For her

Setting Sun Blues
03:34
|

|
Lies creeping down the chimney
I'm coming home
Time, time is running out now
I'm much too slow again
Hide, hide your precious memories
Spit on your past
I'm looking for a new one
I hope it doesn't last
I'm just standing on the top of a mountain
Waiting for a sign
And would you know
The void in the back of my mind
I'm just waiting on the setting sun
I'm just standing on the top of a mountain
Waiting for a sign
And would you know
The void in the back of my mind

The Road Ahead
04:20
|

Oh, what have I done
How did I end up here
All by myself without the will to decide
Where to hide
I can’t go outside
I can’t stand the view from my room
Between a rock and a hard place there’s no space for me
And I think that we got there too soon
It’s just an assumption, but it might be true
I think that we got there too soon
The night time has come
I just wanna go to sleep
And rise early next morning to try again
But I can’t
Please read my palm
Show me the road ahead
I’d like to travel with you till the end
And I think that we got there too soon
It’s just an assumption, but it might be true
I think that we got there too soon
