The haze already seems to fade away Two kinds of darkness surrounding me There's the one I walk into while I'm drifting through the night But the other one is stickier, deeper and unknowable Take me faithful friend, guide me like a torch To escape Was I better off before it all began? Was I better off alone? There's no good in looking back Stunning questions in my head Was I better off alone I chose to deal with life through the haze Chose the inspiration, my instant stimulation Sorrows fade to dreams and pass into oblivion Still not moving forward, don't matter how fast I run Trapped without a reason, just one more shot To say goodbye, yeah Was I better off before it all began? Was I better off alone? There's no good in looking back Stunning questions in my head Was I better off alone Oh yeah Just one more shot Just one more shot Just one more shot to say goodbye Just one more shot to say goodbye Just one more shot to say goodbye Before it is forever night Was I better off before it all began? Was I better off alone? There's no good in looking back Stunning questions in my head Was I better off alone

You're breathing slowly Still sleeping and I'm glad you're here And you don't know That I'm awake and I'm trying not to shed a tear Wrote a hundred lovesongs for you But I still feel it's not enough Can't give back all the feelings that you give to me Can't return all the love A thousand hearts white on grey The one I love can't hide away A thousand hearts white on grey You know I love you anyway It's just a little thing that you said to me yesterday Now it's spinning 'round in my head and I can't get it away And I'm not even trying to because it was so beautiful A sentence full of innocence, so bittersweet, so deep and so pure A thousand hearts white on grey The one I love can't hide away A thousand hearts white on grey You know I love you anyway A thousand hearts white on grey The one I love can't hide away A thousand hearts white on grey You know I love you anyway A thousand hearts white on grey The one I love can't hide away A thousand hearts white on grey You know I love you anyway A thousand hearts white on grey The one I love can't hide away A thousand hearts white on grey You know I love you anyway A thousand hearts white on grey The one I love can't hide away A thousand hearts white on grey You know I love you anyway

Clementine 03:28
Oh I still remember when you were a little child So cute and so beloved, so pure and so unspoilt You were afraid of the world outside Nothing left of this when I hear your voice Oh Clementine, didn't see the signs I disapprove the way you're wasting your life Oh Clementine, didn't see the signs I disapprove the way you're wasting your life Nasty black boots up to your knees Your skirt is short, you're such a sleaze Asleep all day, awake all night When was that day when you lost your pride? I don't know you anymore What are you looking for? Oh you provide free access Could you please keep the distance Oh Clementine, didn't see the signs I disapprove the way you're wasting your life Oh Clementine, didn't see the signs I disapprove the way you're wasting your life Your life Used to be the girl next door Clementine, Clementine Now you're acting like a whore Clementine, Clementine Oh Clementine, don't you see the signs I disapprove the way you're wasting your life Oh Clementine, don't you see the signs I disapprove the way you're wasting your life Your life, your life

Shadows in their eyes telling selfish lies Rhythm and rhyme joined with murder and crime Tell me why I've got this yesterday blues It's so easy to suppress, to suppress the truth Is it right to glorify the times, oh yeah When people had to die, had to die for their rights? But there was some vibe I wasn't even alive But I often think back to those times Sometimes I feel like I'd been a part of it Sometimes it feels like we only changed a little bit Oh no, tell me it ain't real Get out in the streets, oh yeah And let it all out, let it out, let it out I said, get out in the streets, oh yeah And let it all out, let it out, out, out People change their looks They never change their minds Hypocrites and crooks Deciding on our lives I said, oh no, tell me it ain't real Get out in the streets, oh yeah And let it all out, let it out, let it out I said, get out in the streets, oh yeah And let it all out, let it out, out, out Let it all out Oh no, tell me it's not real Go! Get out in the streets, oh yeah And let it all out, let it out, let it out Come on! I said, get out in the streets, oh yeah And let it all out, let it out, out, out Let it all out

Velvet Sky 06:28
Look into the velvet sky but don't know why, I don't know why Standing hand in hand with fate, my old unknown friend, my friend I'm just trying to be myself again These words spin around in my head Yeah yeah yeah yeah I ought to be alone to know what I want I only need more time here with the velvet sky With the velvet sky Standing at the oceanside and I slowly realize Whatever words I sing, I'll never reach the horizon The horizon I'm just trying to be myself again These words spin around in my head Yeah yeah yeah yeah I ought to be alone to know what I want I only need more time here with the velvet sky With the velvet sky And as the sunlight dims I slowly dream away Deep purple lucid dreams Not sure if I should regret anything I just wanna be myself again Just wanna feel free again I just wanna stand in the light Just wanna stand here at the oceanside At the oceanside

Tonight I got nothing better to do So I'm coming with you We both don't know what to expect Who could have guessed it would turn out so bad? A lonely saxophone playing in the hall Snatches of melodies get lost between the walls Your wine-red dress appears in grey Green lights disguise the beauty of your face So many people in this room Yet I never felt so alone Hope we'll be leaving soon Should have better stayed at home I don't feel like I'm really here I am the silent observer An empty smile, a little handshake here and there I can't stand it any further Boredom in its purest form nobody wants to see Empty words without a meaning displayed on a screen At least the drinks are free and the wine is fine But that can't make up for a boring time So many people in this room Yet I never felt so alone Hope we'll be leaving soon Should have better stayed at home No more people in this room Still I'm feeling so alone Your party's going on I'm done, I'm going home No more people in this room Still I'm feeling so alone Your party's going on I'm done, I'm going home I'm going home

You disappointed me too many times You would never let me see a sign Where were you when it all began? Tell me Lord Where were you when it came to the end? Tell me Lord, tell me Lord I see people come and go But tonight I drink my beer alone I pray to the Lord to stand by me But tonight the Lord drinks whiskey Things people expect from you They are quite astounding But I always found, I found it all Too much confounding I see people come and go But tonight I drink my beer alone I pray to the Lord to stand by me But tonight the Lord drinks whiskey Bourbon whiskey Maybe I do not ask, ask the proper questions But you never ever give to me a satisfying answer Still I am hoping, I'm hoping for redemption Until the day I die I don't need a helper I see people come and go But tonight I drink my beer alone I pray to the Lord to stand by me But tonight the Lord drinks whiskey Bourbon whiskey I see people come and go But tonight I drink my beer alone I pray to you Lord to stand by me But tonight the Lord drinks whiskey

Gingerhead 05:24
She's the girl I met on the train She's the girl I'll never meet again I don't say she was beautiful I don't say she was ugly, though Yeah Her smile is an invitation Thank you for the inspiration She attracted my attention There's only one thing left to mention She's a gingerhead, yeah She's a gingerhead I didn't even talk to her, we didn't change a word I remember just one thing and everything else is blurred She's like a stain of colour in a picture black and white Lighting up the scene, focussing your mind, oh Her smile is an invitation Thank you for the inspiration She attracted my attention There's only one thing left to mention She's a gingerhead, yeah She's a gingerhead Sometimes it's just something little that catches your eye That lets you falter for a second while you're walking by Your thoughts get stuck in the moment Although it's out of sight You think all day about it And you can't get it off your mind And it won't let you rest A second can change your day Is it just coincidence Who we'll meet along our way? Her smile is an invitation Thank you for the inspiration She attracted my attention There's only one thing left to mention She's a gingerhead, yeah She's a gingerhead

Raindrops are slowly Streaming down my face Walking down the path Oh and do you know What all the Irish say Keep it on your mind No rain no rainbow My too long hair Is covering my face Still I think about her Still I hear her voice These brutal last four words Spinning on my mind No rain no rainbow No rain no rainbow No rainbow no rainbow Good times will follow No rain no rainbow I am waiting for the sun Good times will follow I'm not the only one They say the rain will clear the air It will help to wash away despair Hard to believe this is the truth No rain no rainbow No rain no rainbow No rainbow no rainbow Good times will follow No rain no rainbow Good times will follow
