IN THE UNIVERSE
Lovers kiss in the spring breeze
On a wing and a prayer
Cozy rooms wait out of time
For all beautiful losers
Will you stand by my side
As I chase that dead part of me back
Will you run and hide
When the gods show you what I lack
And my dreams, and my dreams
Won’t leave the dead in peace
They tie me, they tie me
Where fallen angels weep
Spit in the wind and rule out love
While blushing lovers kiss in parks
My cozy room, it waits for you
To make space in the dark
Will you be the one
To twist my fate?
And stand on the other side
When the gods want a leap of faith
And my dreams, and my dreams
Won’t leave the dead in peace
They tie me, they tie me
Where fallen angels weep
If I could tear my heart free
If I could let my soul be
But no what-ifs, no forever
No always, no never
Just a little while longer in the universe
Will you sit by my side
And be the last face I see
Will you run and hide
When the gods take back what they’ve lent me
And my dreams, and my dreams
Won’t leave the dead in peace
They tie me, they tie me
Where fallen angels weep
But no what-ifs, no forever
No always, no never
Just a little while together in the universe

I’LL BE YOUR STRANGER
Exiled at home
In digital solitude
Time is crawling
And I swing from mood to mood
When all that I want
Is to hide naked in bed
I’ll be your stranger
I’ll be your kind stranger
Passing by for a minute or more
The one you won’t need a mask for
The din splits my head
Plastic smiles hurt my face
Dreams of lost love
Grow in a mute space
When all that is buried
Is now growing seeds
I’ll be your stranger
I’ll be your kind stranger
You’re a ship in the harbour
That longs for the wide open waters
So much time
Blessing or curse
So much to say
But there are no words
I’ll be your stranger
I’ll be your kind stranger
Passing by for a minute or more
The one you won’t need a mask for
I’ll be your stranger
I’ll be your kind stranger
You’re a ship in the harbour
That longs for the wide open waters

LAST LIGHTS
New lines drawn
On wrinkled maps
A bygone age
On propaganda tracts
Piston boots
Scar cobbled stones
Foreign tanks
And kings overthrown
Nations rise
From relics
Nations fall
Brick by brick
Invaders’ songs
Fill the old streets
Join The Party
March to the beat
Smokestack steel
Fuels the strife
Sad Slavic eyes
Bound for exile
And nations rise
From relics
Nations fall
Brick by brick
And the last lights go down
As the trains are leaving town
And the last lights go down
As the last train is leaving town
Hung raincoats
Interrogators
And heroes die
Among traitors
Damp caves
Filled with flowers
Where heroes sleep
Among your prayers
And nations rise
From relics
Nations fall
Brick by brick
And the last lights go down
As the trains are leaving town
And the last lights go down
As the last train is leaving town

WET ROAD
Late at night,
Tailing tail-lights, facing headlights
Clouds hide the moonlight
Swish past glowing road signs,
Ride the yellow lines
Shadows of trees standing high
And the wet road glistens
And the wet road beckons
And the wet road glistens
And the wet road beckons
Exits fly by, mile by mile,
The engine purrs
Over our silence, the radio murmurs
In the soft rain,
The velvet night is rocking me
In her foggy bliss she cradles me
Out in the distance
The wet road opens
Out in the distance
The wet road opens

THE DOUBLE
Streets are empty
Lights are out
Mute elephants lie
In every house
Hands are idle
Sex is sad
You’re owned by forces
That drive you mad
And the double is there
And your double stares
Twisted reflection
Grinning back
Twisted reflection
Don’t blame the glass
There’s a walking
Caricature
Something’s wrong
But you’re unsure
And the double is there
And your double stares

NO HARD FEELINGS
When will I know
This is the last time
I do what I do today
When did the last of a dying breed
Go on their way
How many more times
Will I love the night
Waiting for the sun to rise
Happy rest of the road
Is what you meant to say,
I saw it in your smile
No binding words
To relive old days
This is our last mile
How much longer
Is left in this orbit
Before our roads start to split
We can try
We can try
But it'll never be the same
We can try
We can try
But we all know it’s not the same
But no hard feelings
No hard feelings
So are you the praying kind,
The seeing one
Among the blind
Blessed by faith
Or plagued by doubt
We share the same way out
How many more times
Will I see the sun rise
Before someone closes my eyes
We can try
We can try
But it'lll never be the same
We can try
We can try
But we all know it’s never the same
But no hard feelings
No hard feelings

Wide Open

WIDE OPEN
Where are you calling from
At this ungodly hour
Where has your heart gone numb
Drifting away from her
Who did you lie to now
Justifying your new revelation
Who have you allowed
To seal your damnation
Why did you sacrifice
An eternal flame for sparks
Didn’t you see the room turn dark
As fire turned to ice
And the brightest sun
Leads to the darkest shadow
But here’s my door, here’s my door
How low have you now sunken
Friendless, broke and broken
What are you now reaping
That you have long been sowing
Where have we watched you take
Your long road to perdition
When did your last mistake
Become your next decision
And the darkest shadow
Leads to the brightest sun
And here’s my door, here’s door
Wide open, just like the time before
Still open, when you’ve tried every other door
Wide open, once it’s all slipped away
Still open, when it’s been once too many
Wide open, beaming in the distance
Still open when you’ve run out of chances
Wide open, when you call at daybreak
Still open, from that place where spirits break

SCENES FROM CARS
Lovers in a car
Lovers in a car
Tense looks at the dashboard
Waging their silent war
So near, yet so far
In the family car
Blood ties and skeletons
Eyes on the horizon
Sunday morning drive
Sunday morning drive
A family of five
Or a weekend dad and child
Backseat in the dark
Backseat in the dark
A teenage hand pushed hard
Love is still a bridge too far
Predator and prey
Predator and prey
Roam lost highways
Or city streets today
Lovers in a car
Lovers in a car
Hold hands by the console
Nothing is impossible
Lovers in a car
A loner in a car
