Lovers Have Their Price
04:22
|
|||
Lovers, oh the tragedy
They hedge a bet detached from reality.
Make it big you’ll get one for free, so they said, But still you are waiting.
Lovers, they’re a different breed.
It’s lust, trust, rust, bleed, cheat, repeat
In a game we all play but will never beat
The bets are on.
But you won’t have any of this,
You still believe that true love is a penny away.
(And you say)
Buy me a lover But know you’ll be paying twice
Hot as hell, cold as ice you will find
Lovers have their price.
Lovers, they’re the wolf you feed
Oh, spoil me sweetheart you’ll get what you need.
Shame on you, such a filthy freak!
And they howl it at the moon, man. You just keep losing.
Lovers, lonely in company.
In a golden cage they’ll be never free.
Have you ever really cared for me? (No)
So why pretend?
But you won’t have any of this.
Still you believe that true love will be worth all the pain.
(And you say) Buy me a lover But know you’ll be paying twice
Looks that kill save your life, you will find
Lovers have their price.
You’re playing nice, you’re paying twice.
Hot as hell, cold as ice,
Looks that kill leave you blind.
Buy me no lover I know I’ll be paying twice
But out of key sounds so nice
I can’t help it, one more try, I’ll
Buy me a lover, I know, I know, I know what I’m paying.
My heart burns strong, listen it cries
No matter how many lovers I buy.
Buy me a lover!
(A) Reason to suffer.
(A) Scar I can cover.
Lovers have their price.

Loose Lips
06:54
|

Hush, hush my dear.
In the veil of the night we are safe and we have nothing to fear.
Oh babe, I need you bad but my life’s on the line, so don’t make me regret. Come on, be quiet my queen. Did the bliss of the kiss drive you mad or do you want to be seen?
I can’t risk any bad press, let’s keep it under control.
No word to nobody!
Your lips they scare me there’s no lock on them.
So please be careful what they say.
Keep ‘em lips shut, keep it down honey!
Keep ’em lips zipped up!
Well fuck, what’s that my love?
I’m sure that you tried to be quiet but it just wasn’t enough.
Take a step in my shoes, loose the attitude girl.
Say that you’re sorry.
Tongue in cheek you freak me out and you know that.
But now I see that tongue is split.
Loose lips on fingertips
Baby it’s not the way that I thought we'd be handling this.
Miss secret’s full of shit. Stole my heart, gave her word,
set the rules and broke all of it. ALL OF IT!
Keep ‘em lips away from me woman! Keep ‘em lips away!
Whata devilish woman Driving me insane.
Your smile it tells me all I need to know.
It’s a trap I can’t escape.
Loose lips on fingertips
Baby it’s not the way that I thought we'd be handling this.
Miss secret’s full of shit.
Should’ve known you were up to no good.
Oh, how I could even fall for it. Falling for loose lips yeah!
Please me! Oh, you tease me!
But you’re unreasonably treacherous
As vicious of a creature as can be.
Be merciful! Don’t laugh, be sensible!
You played me for a fool and sure now
everybody’s glued to your loose lips.
Oh god, please no. I’m sorry okay?
I said it. I beg you, please just leave me alone!
You’re ruining my life. Nooooo!
Loose lips on fingertips
Baby it’s not the way that I thought we’d be handling this
Miss Secret’s full of shit Ahhhhh!
Loose Lips on fingertips Baby that is the way that a girl should be handling it! This boy is full of shit!
Make a scene, let him bleed, on his knees,
he can kiss your high heels!
Cut the leash, you are free!
Let him feel those loose lips!

Coins On Your Eyes
06:10
|
|||
Hey. You.
The coins that I put on your eyes
Could grant me my own paradise
But keep them my friend To me they are worthless
For no gold in the world Could buy me the things I need.
Name me no price!
The coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.
Hey. You.
Unfortunate soul you cannot afford me!
Will the coins that I put on your eyes be enough of a bribe To convince old Charon to carry you twice?
Could you try to persuade him, I’m desperately waiting.
I need you to come back home!
Hey, You! All that glitters isn’t gold it’s true
And you my friend can’t make me believe
The gift’s worth more than the giver.
Hey, You! Trapped inside a vault, I do not Care how much you left me don’t leave me here.
The coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.
The coins that I put on your eyes
They promised me nothing but lies.
A glimmering ruse, some meager distraction
That leads me astray from the path that I have to take.
And the trumpets may usher the end of the days
Still the coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.
Refrain
Give me a sign, anything. Take these goddamn coins off your eyes and look at me. I know you can’t, you’re gone, you’re dead but please try. Oh just to see you smile I would give up everything. I don’t need gold, need no silver, I need you. I need to hear your voice again, calling my name, giving me comfort. Oh, nothing could ever buy those things. Nothing is of value anymore. That’s a glimpse of the truth, a bit of the real world there. We all fall to ashes one day. And all that remains, all they will find of us will be coins. Just coins. The coins they put on our eyes!
Refrain
Hey, You! You know I really care for you. I really do!
Hey, You. All that glitters isn’t gold how true
So name me no price
The coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.

Your Last Kiss
04:32
|
|||
Another perfect rendezvous
I feel so good when I’m with you
And as I bring you to your door
once more I can’t believe my luck.
An angel dressed in velvet black
I crave to see you all in white
And as you kiss me on my neck
I decide tonight’s the night!
And I say the magical four words: Will you be mine?
So here we are, I shot my shot.
This is the moment, is it not?
I am so happy I could die right now, Just say the line!
But you’re motionless and mute
No second kiss, no „Yes I do“.
Don’t turn away. Where are you going?
Please respond! Please speak to me!
Say a word before we drown in silence.
This reaction I did not expect.
Is that a tear I see? Oh please, god, answer me!
This must be all a dream
But I still feel your last kiss on my neck.
Your last kiss on my neck. It’s burning!
Well maybe I have been too bold.
That must be it, your feet are cold.
Don’t rush, I’ll let you sort your feelings out.
Just take your time. But summer turns to fall.
No response, no second kiss, nothing at all!
Why don’t you call me back?
Why is your number dead?
Why do you shut your blinds?
Why can’t I change your mind?
Why are you so unsure? What are you waiting for?
Why are you such a whore?
Who’s that you’re kissing at your door?
Say a word before we drown in silence.
What I said can not be taken back, back, back, back!
Oh, don’t you hear my screams?
This bittersweet cacophony
Can’t touch a heart of stone.
Yet I still feel your last kiss burning!
Say a word before we drown in silence.
Before I do some things I might regret.
Since I fell to my knees our distance grew so rapidly.
But this won’t be the end, no
I still feel your last kiss on my neck.
I still feel, I still feel Your last kiss.

Roadreaper

Route 66, blackest night With no destiny in mind.
Is it a sin to crave the wind against my face then I will Ride this road to hell!
I have no fear except the one that someday I’ll just fade away.
But for now, my wheels will keep turning.
Let me feel invincible! Taunt the devil, give him hell.
For if the next trip ends in fire
At least I am already burning.
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.
Roadreaper, take my hand, lead me to the light
As blood and gasoline combine caressed by asphalt, we recite
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.
It’s 4am, I try to keep My heavy eyes glued to the street.
This ten ton truck took time to tame
But now I’d steer it in my sleep.
Suddenly, hit the brakes, realizing my mistake.
tires scream but way too late
Cause I’m already off the track.
Refrain
Roadreaper, Pale Rider, Angel with a headlight halo
Lead the way I can’t see where it ends!
Roadreaper, Ditchhiker, Demon with a driver’s license
I give myself into your helping hands.
And now I’ve traveled far and wide
For many years, brought many miles
Between the men I thought I had to be
And who I’m now!
No lover and no family
No-one who would cry for me.
The only hug I’ve ever felt was coming from my safety belt.
I found my place inside a dirty diner booth.
They know my order not my name, I won’t be long.
And I gaze beyond my coffee pot, there’s someone in the parking lot.
A figure dressed in black holds out his hand
My friend I understand!
Refrain
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.
Take my hand, lead me to the light.
Can you hear us, we recite.
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.

Porcelain

Porcelain
Your eggshell heart’s been broken
I’m not oblivious. You cannot hide the pieces
Not behind a face of glass.
I can see right through your smile
I See the mess that’s deep within
And I’m afraid that I can
Never make it whole again.
Such fair skin.
Beautiful but delicate like Porcelain.
Don’t you love too much. Don’t give in!
Baby you are Porcelain.
So don’t you fall in love again
You’d shatter by the touch.
Shatter by the touch. Porcelain.
You’re frozen feelings start to crack
They split and drift apart.
The thoughts that kept you tethered
Severed by a glacial shard.
Again you brave the crushing waves
While still your sail is ripped and torn.
Do you not realize Damaged souls are not reborn?
Refrain
Porcelain
You are too fragile to hold, Your skin is paper thin.
The slightest nick and you fold
You just can’t keep it in.
You may be fragile to hold
Your skin like porcelain.
But you don’t care cause if you’re
scared to lose you’ll never win.
Your hollow bones may fracture
Under sticks and stones But indestructible the iron will you call your own.
I can’t imagine all the pain you must be in but still you stand
And through A face of glass I see a heart that’s whole again.
Refrain
Touch of skin. Baby you are, baby you are Porcelain.
But you will fall in love again
No matter if you’ll shatter by the touch.
Shatter by the touch. Porcelain.

Hate Your Darlings
04:42
|
|||
All the blood and tears you’ve wasted.
All the time that’s lost forever.
All the while a smile that’s fading’s
Masquerading your displeasure.
They said you’d never work a day
If you find joy in what you make
But now they hit you with complaints
This thing looks strange, that needs to change.
Oooooh, why can’t I do whatever I want to?
Oooooh, I just want to do what I want!
You poured your heart out to lament
What they’re too dense to comprehend.
The baby ripped right from your hands
Will never feel your love again. The spectators lost sight.
You thought you could lead the blind? Sweet child, it’s time you’d
Hate your darlings, darling hate them. Kill ‘em all the devil’s waiting.
Keep him happy, keep on track and don’t look back.
Keep ‘em coming, keep creating.
Hate your darlings, darling hate them.
Way too long and irritating
Cut the crap, fade to black and wrap … second act!
You bunch of self-fellating crooks
Can’t see what’s good for your own good.
Don’t judge a cover by the books
You are the gluttons I’m the cook!
Oooooh, but you don’t really give a shit, do you?
Oooooh, and I no longer care!
Refrain
Kick them, Beat them, desecrate them
What a wreck, a money grab mishap … well too bad.
We’ll dig the dead out of their graves
To fill the stage before we
Waste a single thought on ways
that We could take to change the brazen
Face of the brainless god we’ve created.
How can we justify social suicide?
Are we dead inside? You bet, get your ass in line!
You thought you could win this fight? You live a lie!
Don’t cry, it’s fine, you’ll be all right.
Just close your eyes and clear your mind and
Refrain
Senseless, dull and godforsaken, give it to them how they crave it!
Hate your darlings, darling hate them! Kill ‘em all the devil’s waiting.
Keep him happy, keep on track and don’t you ever dare to look back!
Hate your darlings! Hate your darlings!
No regret for the dead, attack!

Beast With Two Backs
08:20
|
|||
She hears steps in the shadows of a desolate street.
One more night searching someone who’d cherish her
But she did not keep track of her feet.
Now she’s feeling the presence, The familiar dread.
And she knows she can’t fight the temptation
But her heart is so full of regret.
Because! Creeping, crawling An animal on the prowl.
Watch out darling
So easy to get lured by its tentative howl.
It is a foul beast, sweating and stinking And
clinging its claws deep into her thighs.
Landslide of lust, deeper she’s sinking
And screaming with pleasure now slowly she dies.
Her poor little heart is beating.
It echoes the sound of the midnight bell as it counts to twelve and the fear puts her under a spell.
She’ll close her eyes and weep The night will keep
Her tears concealed But the wounds on her skin never heal.
Her heart exposed She’s chasing a ghost
But all she attracts is the beast with two backs
And oh, she just wants to be loved. Wants to be loved.
Gaping jaws will leave scars on her body
Marking her as an immoral child.
One more toll and her soul will be broken
A contract unspoken to chain her forevermore.
Because! Gnawing, biting. A predator and its prey.
You’re still fighting But you know it’s already too late.
You are sealing your fate. And her heart so full of regret.
Where is the love? Was it all in her head?
You know it is no use. I am already inside your head.
And when the bell strikes midnight baby, you’ll be forever mine!
Takes more skill to tame than it does to defeat it.
So few have attempted, far less have succeeded.
But you little child, you might have what it takes.
Take a look at yourself don’t you see that we’re one and the same?
And she laughs because now she is certain
What lurks in the shadows is not what she feared.
No surprise as she draws back the curtain And sees what appears,
but a mirror reflecting a BEAST WITH TWO BACKS!
Because! Shifting, shaping A lamb that turns into a wolf.
There’s no escaping So you might as well trust the impulse.
And her poor little heart’s still beating.
It continues the sound of the midnight bell since the tapestry fell
And THE girl came to terms with herself.
Refrain
And oh, how she wants to be loved!
With open eyes she sees The moon reveals
Her teardrunken face but it’s changed rearranged with a strange kind of animalistic appeal. Her heart defiled, The immoral child! She walks in the tracks of the beast with two backs.
