Lyrics from the Album ONE SONG ONE TAKE :


Forever young


When you live young and fast like a hurricane
The bullet hits your soul
When you trust your own destiny
You feel no fear at all

Forever young says the old man to his son
Ride the gold snake to the end, life is short

When you walk alone 'cause your friend's all gone
The bullet hits your soul
When you feel the love she's giving to you, man
You feel no fear at all


 

Black out


Some are living to forget,
Drill a hole in my brain,
Empty feelings, black out,
Peel my heart, smashing time

Glum silence in a cube
Chicken face radiate
Idleness conceited
Spray your mind onto the wound

Don't you want to move your ass-want you, bad boy
Don't you want to wake your ass-want you bad girl

Standing at the dark room
Everything remains the same
Blue, Timeless, black out
Waking up in wildfire

Glum silence in a cube
Chicken face radiate
Idleness conceited
Spray your mind onto the wound

Don't you want to move your ass-want you, bad boy
Don't you want to wake your ass-want you bad girl



1.2.3


It wasn't me it wasn't you
The pain will leave in a year or two
In the sorrow, we remain the same
In the darkness, we kiss forever

It wasn't me, it wasn't you
The day I fell in love with you
On Sunday, I made you laugh
On Monday, I made you dance

It's been a long time, still cry for you
1, 2, 3,4,5,6 the bell is ringing, is it you?
I love my girl, magical girl

I see your face, behind the window
1, 2, 3,4,5,6 the bell is ringing, is it you?
I love my girl, magical girl

Before the sun disappear in the end
I'd like to have another, another kiss


 

Ashes turn to gold


Night bird tears my skin
Closer to the wall
Waiting for your love
Alone in the sun

Broken heart in heaven
Burst into tears
Night kiss evening hope
Burst into tears

Ashes turn to gold … Roses flow down

Looking at the rain
My body feels high
You appear to me
Like an angel in the sun

First flash of Eden
Life with you is gold
Night kiss, soft romance
You give me a reason to live

Ashes turn to gold … Roses flow down


 


Cross fingers


Today praying to God,
I was walking across the yard
Walking down, walking down my mind

Oh lord I cross my fingers
Can I see you again?

Hey man I see the devil
Can I see you again?


 


Burn


Follow this girl man blues reach my mind
Beneath heaven, woman in clouds
Stranger inside my house I feel like a little child
Where did you go last night? As I take my last white line

1.. Deliver me my friend from inside
Blues shootin' my brain… It's all over
Why is it so confusing as I walk down the street
Blues shootin' my brain… It's all over

I sit down in the bar having a shot
Dancer in the dark behind my glass
Should I crawl to you baby all night long
As my desire for you never stops

Burn, burn, burn…

Everyday I burn, wild dogs in cars
Street never ends in this mad town
Wandering in the night with cats and rats
Where are you hiding girl? As I take my last white line

1..

She's got something unique so full of love
Got to move her body until the end
She looks so sweet and hot "On her 31"
Never looking back on what she's done


 


Never forever


I see your face, under the moon
Where should we go? In this crystal ship?

I'd die for you baby, I would kill for you

I stand at the doorstep, forevermore
Under the sunlight, basking in the glow

I'd die for you baby, I would kill for you

You and me it's forever!
Time to leave oh oh never!

Picture of you, in my mind
You make me crazy, thinking of you

Time has come, to fall in love
In this river, of no despair


 

Over


All you hear in this desperate land
It's the voice of God coloring your soul
Some days strange, some days cool
Living up the mountain blues

Desperate girl in mysterious night
Where do you go in hopeless dreams?
Some days strange, some days cool
Living up the mountain blues

You know it's all over baby, can I meet you today?
Over, over the clouds, yeah…
You know it's all over baby, can we dance together?
Over, over the clouds…


 

Shaman dance


First the ceremony begins with shellfish
Inviting Gods to join us in the circle

Shaman dance mystic thoughts
We all see clear in our dreams
Blow a shellfish open doors
Fire heats our bodies
Feather, smoke clear our mind
Feather, smoke purify me

I want to look back come on in
Looking thru the mirror, Shaman secrets rites

Magic dreams, magic trance
No border up in space
Timeless dance in the heat
No border up in space

I'm a warrior a warrior has no fear

Now warm too heavy, heavy
Keys of mystic treasures… I found you

Invocation, move fire in a circle
Clear image, confusion


 


Waterfall


I stand on my knees, before you deliver me
I shiver in the night, where can I go now?
Where can I find love, in the mirror of dawn?
Where can I find peace in the misery of my path?


I ask the man in the blue station if I can sleep for free
He told me he don't have space for a man looking like me
I walk and fall in the night sleeping on the ground
I open; open my eyes can God rescue me?

Waterfall …

Back in town for a new session people throw me food
I know found my place in this jungle shit
I walk and fall in the night sleeping on the ground
I open; open my eyes can God rescue me?

Waterfall …


 


Walk away, leave away


In the daybreak, won't you be my friend?
Crystal stranger, won't you be my friend?

Play with me, no fear of passing time
Be with me come enter my room

Walk away, leave away…

Feel Vibrations in your soul
It's pure energy

In the darkness, won't you be my friend?
Taking my hand, won't you be my friend?

Play with me, no fear of passing time
Be with me come enter my room

Walk away, leave away…

Feel Vibrations in your soul
It's pure energy

 

 

Lyrics from the Album Soft Night :

1. GOLD RIVER

Inside the wall, inside the time, a lot of people cry.
Hear my voice, and let me sing the song of the lost mind.

ill_1All just an illusion, the Indian smoke in my head,
All just an illusion, come on now…

If you say goodbye, my soul will cry out,
If you stay with me, my spirit will soar.

When you travel a far, you feel the world, the world in your hand,
Friends are your friends, but you will see you are alone,

In the gold river,
In the cold river.

When the little man is lost in the sea, the moon falls down,
He tries to be free, from his family from us all now,
He says: "Come on now, need to smoke, I need to fly"
He says: "Come on now, need to smoke, I need to fly"

In the gold river,
In the cold river.


2. GARDEN OF EDEN

This is the story of a lonely man, walking on the street's edge
He's old, but still has the joy of life,
Do you know him? He's the wizard, the wizard of universal time.
He has come to meet the angels, the angels mystery.
He has a long way to go, and his mind is crystal clear.ill_1

Would you like to follow him in the sun,
Meeting Poets in the garden of Eden.
Would you like to follow him through the night,
Hunting dreams in the garden of Eden.

Streets are now empty and full of fog,
Drinking, singing with strange shadows, discovering ancient secret.
Did you see him? He's the prince, the prince of our souls.
He has come to meet the angels, the angels mystery.
He has a long way to go, and his mind is crystal clear.


3. INNER SPACE

Last night, I had a dream,
The lord of Lizard was my friend,
He was old and his skin was cold.

We've been in a coffee shop,
Smoking joints and drinking hard,
The lord will carry me back home again.

I can feel, I can see my body is getting so heavy,
Will I try, will I dare, to play this mysterious game.

ill_1We walked around the land, he showed me how to live better,
Teaching me how to be myself.
One day he will fly away, but I will never forget,
How to control my inner space.

Music spreads in the air,
Leaving us with its strangeness.
Dancing in the space,
The lizard is the master of time.

Life is an eternal fight, between reason and madness,
Trying to keep my motion in control.
Love is our spiritual guide, listening to the angels rhymes,
Trying to understand my life.


4. SOFT ROMANCE

Tell me where you live, before I disappear.
My eyes cannot see the truth, but can feel the pain.
Lost in the soft romance, little fairies dance.
Tell me where I can hide, before the sadness descends.

When you came back to me, I saw the truth.
You came back to me, I'll never let you go.

Take me to your land, where people live so free,ill_1
I can feel your sweet love, coursing through my veins.

When I dream of you my heart explodes,
I'll never understand, how I could live without you.


5. UNICORN

We've been sailing on a star,
Seeing our lives in the mirror of dawn,
Do we have just one more chance,
To travel in the night, to travel in the sky.

ill_1Leaving our faces in a bottom of a glass,
Then walk together to recall our dreams.
Forget the sun, forget our mind,
We've lost our head but not our love.

Sister of unicorn dance, dance, dance.
Brother of pyramid, dance, dance, dance.
Sweet little flower, dance, dance, dance.
Our love will never, die, die, die


6. INDIAN IN THE DESERT

Do you know why we exist?
Do you know that all we see is just an illusion,
I've talked to my spirit one day, and I saw an Indian answer my question:

"Fly little man, to the end, join us in the dance of wild disillusion.
Can you see the ocean of time, Take my hand and drink my mind."

Into the sun… Into the night.

I followed the Indian through the desert, he was a falcon, I was a spy,
After a long march under the terrible sun, he stopped, made fire, then sang:

"Heyah… Heyah…"

His voice was soft and desperate my friend, I was alone,
He illuminated ancient rites for eternity.
All along the river flow.
I saw this little girl beside me.ill_1
Has she the power to love me

Into the sun … Into the night.

I came to this ceremony place again and again, blue Sunday, confusion,
I saw the same Indian in the same desert, he stopped, made fire, than sang:

"Heyah… Heyah…"

Indian, Indian, follow my spirit, take me to the place you've been,
Now that I saw the truth in your eyes.


7. MIDNIGHT WOMAN

I am standing beside her,
The sun strokes the walls,
I feel the sorrow around me,
Now she's going to leave me,
And I cry, and cry.

Where will you go now?
I see a murder in this room,
Smoke drifts through this chamber,
With wicked brew, and dark slumbers,
She stole my mind and I'm falling deep below.

ill_1I fear that I've lost my mind,
I fear that I'm going mad,
I fear that eagles will kill me,
I fear that my time has come.

I've seen your shadow on the stairs,
In the gallery some eyes glint and sleek,
The time suddenly eats your beautiful face,
Upstairs a drunk man shows me the light,

I remember your snake hair,
You where young and free,
You looked at me jubilantly,
You murmured insanities.

The Indian dances, he disappears while the wind blew,
The light never shines at night while the monsters appear,
They only show me the dark side of the moon,
And I climb up a tree to hide myself in a gloom.


8. LE REVEUR

Quand nos âmes seront perdues,
Dans les lacs du superflu.

Quand nos rêves s'envoleront,
Tels des fleurs aux larmes de plomb.

Quand le ciel volera loin,
Les terres cracheront leur venin.

Quand les lunes de l'Infini,
Boivent le vin des douces nuits.

Quand les mers aux mille couleurs,
Déversent le son de leurs cœurs.ill_1

Quand le doux parfum des anges,
Finira dans un losange.

Quand les plumes du Paradis,
Se mélangent dans l'hystérie.

Quand les feux énigmatiques,
Pleurent des flammes rouge électrique.

Quand le souffle de l'Univers,
Apaise la soif singulière.


9. TALKING ABOUT THE BLUES

Do you feel the sting in your heart,
Someone turned your face to the wall.
You're talking ill_1about the blues, man,
Living beyond the sea.
You're talking about the blues, man,
Melancholy is your device.

Many things have changed your life,
Sunset shines on your snakebite,
Will you still be there tonight,
Will bells echo in clouds?


10. ON THE ROAD

Drink from the river, my friend
Selfish dreams are insane
Set fire to yourself
Riders on the road

Recite Indian tales, my friend
Let your senses igniteill_1
Ride down Crazy Horse
Sand storm on the road

You've feel the rain falling on the sea
You've seen footprints scattered in the tree


11. DESTINY ?

Look back, let your mind forget, hang around the stars,
Let the stream flow down, Feel your eyes burning,
See the birds go mad, Reinvent the sky.

What is man's destiny?
Blow your mind out my friend!
What is man's destiny?
ill_1So many questions in me.

Look back, let your mind forget, fight against the war,
Let this song remain, blood is on the road,
And the owl slips in, in your frenzied dreams.


12. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WITH FREEDOM ?

Every time I look around different faces in my brain.
I don't know who, told them to,
I really don't know, why they are so foolish,

Being good to your country, smiling as someone very cool.
Be a good guy to yourself, a sad man hiding behind a mask.

What have they done with freedom?
Have they put it underground?
What have they done with freedom?ill_1
Know they are trying to hide.

Oh no, now listen at me, black bird has come to pick at our veins,
Oh no, I think it's a pity, the world's gonna die and no one's gonna cry.

Remember the time, when people were together,
Dancing with the wind, dancing with the flowers.


13. NOTHING CAN SPLIT US APART

Light, your cigarette,
Breath in the smoke and let your mind forget.
Kiss, this pretty face,
Life is a game now enter in this dance.

Do you believe in what we shared last night, about love,
Making love with you is just a sweet romance.
Hold this rose and never let it fade, no never,
Something touched our hearts, they resound, rebound, in sky.
Nothing can split us apart.


ill_1Twirl, twist in your dance
Your head is heavy you are in a trance,
Lost, on the road,
Singing this song with her she's in your blood.


14. WHITE WINDOW

I' m walking straight, travelling through the forest
Birds are flying, looking through my mind

"I want to tell you a story, about the wind, the sky, and the white window.
The music's echoes everywhere, your ears playing strange games"

Take your time, follow me
Through the sky, all along, along, along
Your head is burning, your mind is shaking
You hear a sound, all along, along, along

We are going to die, we are going to live,
Don't you think it's a strange world, come on my friend follow me.

Staring at the stars, your body is high, through the white window.
In the back of your brain there's a girl, it's the white window.
Come on man just follow your heart, step outside through the white window.
She is smiling, just follow her, you've got to move.ill_1

There's a sign written on this wall,
Now listen to me, this girl is for you,
She's standing here ready for love.

Take your soul forget the night, forget the time,
Dance with birds and dance with your mind,
All you've got to do is to cry.

And her voice continues to echo everywhere, girl where are you going?
I' m here for you baby don't you know, don't you know me?
I ask your love but no return, now listen to this:

Take your soul forget the night, forget the time,
Dance with birds and dance with your mind,
All you've got to do is to cry.


15. TOO MUCH VINE, WHISKEY AND COKE

What happened to me, I think I got stoned,
Once again, I feel too hard into it.

Do you see me creeping, eyes that do not see,
I think it's time for me to go to sleep.

Too much vine, too much whiskey, searching to eternally fly,
Too much coke, too much dope, searching for an eternal high.

See me fly…See me smile.

I'm now watching TV, a new show is coming,
Just like watching my as hole.

Everyone's happy, that superficial life,
Just like watching my as hole.
