together we stand us together we brave the storm it will come down we look for a lover we look for a friend but nobody here seems to hear taking the time in this flood of words "welcome in the harbour of pain" I know that the storm will break down I search just a shelter from rain on the very wide sea when we wave around on the very wide sea where we’re going down I glance back the sky I look for star that it could show me the way the water on fire the air of despair mirages on the orizon that's not near taking the time... remember when I screamed for love forever look around here look around here look around it’s my role wheels on fire wheels on fire wheels on turnin' side on the very wide sea...

heard a voice from outside world it always talked to me it was the darkness of the night life it knew that I was in "child with wishes" it said to me "imagine the town in the shadows of some jail streets you could find the sound" my eyes cry to escape from me the body always gets it my eyes cry for another face but mask can't set me free over bridge and down to drains I tore my life away year by year and day by day this town has driven me insane "child who wished a beatin’ heart" it’s what once I was now the failure of my past turn child into a man my eyes cry....

changing colour inside of myself to the tone of the present daylight can you hear when I'm callin' the name of you through the curtain of rain? taking time and time to rearrange the very depth of me from the crossroad to inside when I break like you what the meaning of the years? don't believe me when I talk about love I'm drownin’ in the very depth of me don't believe me when I talk about love I'm drownin' in very depth of me.

Tanning boys 04:27
they take cars they drive around love money and sins they just waste their time in magical risks under sun on the sand they are living the beach with blue eyes and blond girls/ they are the physical kind when the tanning boys arrive on the beach they are idolized by the stealing sun girl when the tanning boys want to make contacts with sex with sex I look them on the shore playin' with life they don't care what it mean they don't care anymore with my sad gray eyes I'm looking for love why can' t they give me a girl from that flesh wild bunch when the tanning boys arrive on the beach they are idolized by the stealing sun girl when the tanning boys say "O.K. let’s go by car by car" lovin' life and lovin' love spinnin' round to havin' fun drownin' in wine John gets ev'ry gal he touches Mike likes to drink a lot drownin' in none when the tanning boys...

Ghost image 06:19
I sit here beside the wall the open eyes are fading I sit here against the door the closed window's slamming inside the crystal lonely heart I feel a sense of doubt inside the vacuum of my brain the innocence of crowd but I remember your eyes I remember your voice when you talked to the stars when you looked at my face we were lost in a room we've got just the art of loving now I just drop some lines to imagine your face now I just drop some tears to remind how it was when we're lost in a room in the shadow of the night loving life now I just drop some lines to imagine your face and to feel memories in the light of disease while the water reflects a pale ghost image it’s my heart

letters to home and cigarettes day by day I try not to lose or just forget the seed the field the rain yesterday and days before uproars made me deaf why we make holes in the ground? (holes too big for trees) million sparks are shining in thru wild fields and the strange moon rise high fat and bright she lights the red wind blowing in the night and how can I fight strong? how can I die? kolkoz's waiting for me harvest time is near homesickness but I' ve got to work for a new right life all the poor and slaved men they live canned by gold my sweat will set them free breaking my back in the fields it's my role they said why am I so far from farm? (while I should dig ground) million sparks are fading in thru wide fear/ and red star shines high red as my blood red is the colour of all the flags send me back home please I gotta help my father in the fields people givin' them food and red star shines…
