the circus

Roll up! Come on, take a seat
Nobody bites, we're all friends here
Time to suspend disbelief
You will see wonderous things here
Bring out the weirdos and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring on the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Nothing is quite as it seems
Painted on smiles are the stuff of dreams
Under this peeling facade
Currents run deep and are hard to keep in check
We need the smell of the band
We heed the crack of the whip hand
These are the games that we play
Join the circus today
Welcome along to the show
All that we seek is attention
Ladies are painted and take to the stage they will
Give you their all if you show them affection
We are just marionettes
Watch as we dance to the sound in a trance
Bring on the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Styling it out as they scream
Into the void with a surrogate band
Hiding the cracks with a smile
This is illusion, a sleight of hand
We need to feel something real
We need the taste of the greasepaint
These are the games that we play
Join the circus today
Making it up as we go
Reeling around with the drunkards
Feeding the demons below
Walking on eggshells and ducking the punches
Bring out the weirdo's and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring on the liars and thieves
Come on and join in the circus
Nothing is quite as it seems
Come on and join in the circus

I watch you walking by, the colour of your
Eyes, they mesmerize and fascinate me
Somewhere in my head, I think of us in
Bed and wonder what it would be like to
Wake up next to you and fill you up with goo
So I decide to grasp that nettle
I offer you a drink, I ask you what you think
You tell me that I'm not your type well
You can't blame me for trying, we're all slowly
Dying, in this life
We're just here for a while all you can do is
Smile
Then I meet a girl, the centre of my
World, and soon we have a wedding party
So we settle down and push some babies out
Sat beneath a mountain of debt
Things are going great, but while I'm working late
She's got her mind on other matters
Until I see the truth, turns out that the
Devil will find work for idle hands to do
So goodbye, whateva, nothing lasts
Forever, in this life
We're just here for a while all you can do is
Smile
We all live and learn, experience is
Earned, sometimes it comes from bitter lessons
Analyse your faults, work out where you went
Wrong, and try not to repeat the same mis-
Takes, wake up and realise, got to try and do what's
Right, in this life
We're just here for a while all we can do is
Smile
You're just here for a while all you can do is
Smile
I'm just here for a while all I can do is
Smile

I'm feeling your energy
You're moving and shaking me
Delicious uncertainty
The ground shifts beneath my feet now
And I cannot run away
I cannot escape your sway
I go weak at the knees when I look at your face
And everything drops into place and I'm
Falling, your little eathquakes
Knock me down and they spin me around, I'm
Falling, your little eathquakes
Scare me to death but they make me feel I'm alive
And once it begins to hit
There's no way of stopping it
Just try to hold on, it won't last long
And then you are gone again
(Na-ma-zu)
(Na-ma-zu)
(Na-ma-zu) I go weak at the knees when I look at your face
(Na-ma-zu) And everything starts to vibrate and I'm
Falling, your little eathquakes
Knock me down and they spin me around, I'm
Falling, your little eathquakes
Scare me to death but they make me feel I'm alive
And I cannot fight against
Forces of nature, defy the creator
I go weak at the knees when I look at your face
And everything starts to go crazy I'm
(Na-ma-zu) Falling, your little eathquakes
(Na-ma-zu) Knock me down and they spin me around, I'm
(Na-ma-zu) Falling, your little eathquakes
(Na-ma-zu) Scare me to death but they make me feel I'm alive
(Na-ma-zu)

got the itch
© Asbo Slipz 2024
There's something missing, something isn't quite right
I've got a feeling, eating me from inside out
Try to be good and focus on the straight line
But I keep hearing voices in my head that say
Yeah, why not? You only live once
Why not enjoy yourself? Fuck it!
Mind over matter, I just need to stay straight
It's not so easy, I can't seem to concentrate
So I fall when I
Hear you call to me
Wish I could fight it, wish that I was stronger but
You cannot run from what's inside your head you just
Have to go with the
Flow of this liquid, I self medicate to
Lubricate, my mental state
I know it's stupid, know that I should get a life
Just keep it coming, pop the cork another time
One for the road then two or three for luck I keep
Getting fucked up, but sometimes you have to
Lose yourself if you
Aim for redemption then first you must ask for
The trouble that comes from the bottom of a glass
Mind over matter, I just need to stay straight
It's not so easy, I can't seem to concentrate
Wish I could fight it, wish that I was stronger but
You cannot run from what's inside your head you just
Have to go with the
Flow of this liquid, I self medicate
Got the itch
I got it bad, you know I want it
Watch me twitch
Can't turn you down, I've got to have it
Got the itch
I got it bad, you know I want it
Watch me twitch
Can't turn you down, I've got to have it
ragazzo so low

A Starman came travelling
Stayed for a while
Gave us his stories
Gave us his smile
I still hang on his words
As he shines in the universe
Will the Saviour Machines
Keep him safe in his oddity?
All the young dudes are old
But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo
So Ashes to Ashes
I'm Low but not down
The Width Of A Circle
The tears of a clown
There's a Black Star in view
All The Madmen are missing you
And they dance in the street
Scary Monsters and Super Creeps
All the young dudes are old
But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo
I pull on a finger
And then cigarette
I'm listening for life signs
For spiders and suffragettes
Diamond Dogs on patrol
As they chase Lady Grinning Soul
And the Jean Genie's here
Recollecting her Golden Years
All the young dudes are old
But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo
Well nothing much Changes
We're frozen in Time
We're walking through Quicksand
We're Rock 'n' Roll Suicides
Lay the real thing on me
You Cracked Actor's and Pretty Things
It Ain't Easy you see
We've got Five Years for dying in
All the young dudes are old
But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo
We go Up The Hill Backwards
But this is no game
We're looking for Heroes
We're shooting for Fame
So the Kooks take a bow
They're all up and romancing now
Starman waits in the night
If I sparkle he'll land tonight
Now this young dude is old,
And I still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo
Now this young dude is old,
And I still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo
i lose my mind
© Asbo Slipz 2024
When I think of the times we
Shared, well I can't help wondering
When you told me you really
Cared, how did you keep your face straight?
And it's too late to turn back the
Clock, I don't want to think about it
Now, you made your choice and you left me -
Shock horror - I don't want to talk about it
Now, but when I see you around these
Streets, with your new love in tow I
Freak, I lose my mind, I lose my
Mind, I lose my mind
When I think of the lies you
Told, well I can't help getting mad
Empty words just to get your
Way, how can you live with yourself
Now? I guess somehow I just blank the
Pain, I try hard not to think about it
Now, you move on and you-do-it-all-a-
Gain, I don't want to talk about it
Now, but if I happen to see your
Face, I turn my back on you just in case
I lose my mind, I lose my mind
I lose my mind
Baby baby, you have to learn
One of these days well you're gonna get burnt
Baby baby, your time will come
One of these days you're gonna be heart-broken
Baby baby, you have to learn
One of these days well you're gonna be spurned
Baby baby, your time will come
One of these days you'll have your chest ripped open
If you keep treating love like dirt
Karma's gonna come and it will hurt
If you keep breaking people's hearts
Karma's gonna bite you on the arse
And I cannot wait to see the day
It comes to you and you have to pay
I hope you find, you lose your mind
You lose your mind, you lose your mind

Take a deep dive way out into space
Join the hive mind and slot into place
Be original or just be like the rest
And don't worry, there isn't a test it's a matter of
Personal choice, you can do what the hell makes your
Voice, sing, don't worry about a thing
Take the high ground, don’t get your feet wet you can
Super abound if you're down with the threat or be
Risk averse, there are worse ways to live your life
Some go for safety first, some bet their shirts, it's their
Personal choice, it's a matter of balance you
Weigh up the costs and you make your decision yeah
Place your bet, cut the deck, flip the card and see
What comes next
Place your bet, cut the deck, flip the card and see
What comes next
Take a deep breath, and pray for some luck you are
Going home rich or you're going home feeling like
Fate is so fickle, the cards stacked against you, could
Do with a miracle anytime soon it's your
Personal choice, if you don't take the risk then you'll
Never know whether you might have escaped from the
Prison you live in, the safety of certainty
Place your bet, cut the deck, flip the card and see

untermensch
© Asbo Slipz 2020
Sunrise, morning kissing the sky like a
Blood red warning out of the East we are
Homeless, moving out of the West to a
New place, hoping we can find rest we are
Subhuman we are
Untermensch on this
Creaking train on this
Endless journey
Show some humanity, show some humanity
Freezing wind, fingers chilled to the bone nothing
Left to lose, stripped of all that we are we are
Untermensch at our
Journey's end as the
Train comes in to the
Final station
Open the door and a wave of humanity
Spills to the floor in a state of insanity
Einsatz Gruppen tell us to get into
Lines, men and children split from their sisters and
Wives, screaming chaos, as they march us through the
Gates of Hades they shave us, take our belongings we're
Subhuman we are
Untermensch we can
Smell the stench of the
Rotting corpses
Welcome to Hell you have now left humanity
And then they strip us standing naked in the cold for hours
Sonderkommando leading us into communal showers
We need to purify you but we know that somethings' missing
They lock the door, we smell a rat, the Zyklon B starts hissing
Subhuman I can't
Understand how a
Single man can
Unleash such inhumanity
They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch
They are the untermensch
They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch
They are the untermensch
They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch
They are the untermensch

So here we are again
Another genocide
You call it what you like, for Shoah, but for me
I can't help thinking this is yet another death camp
Some people call it ethnic cleansing
So here we are again
You call them human animals
You call them what you like, for Shoah, but for me
I can't help thinking that we've heard it all before, who were the Untermensch?
The subhumans
There is no greater good, there is
Nothing you can say to defend your actions
There is no greater good, there is
Nothing you can say to defend your actions
How can killing 13,000 kids be right on any planet?
This time it's different
This time the world can see it all
This time you can't control the flow of the shitshow footage
All you can do is try to suppress the narrative
Bury it in the dust of Gaza
There is no greater good, there is
Nothing you can say to defend your actions
There is no greater good, there is
Nothing you can say to defend your actions
There is no greater good, there is
Nothing you can say to defend your actions
There is no greater good, there is
Nothing you can say to defend your actions
They are the untermensch (they're human animals)
We need to find a solution (they're human animals)
The final solution (they're human animals)
They are the untermensch, they're human animals

There you go, to the
Dark place - I'll try to be your
Friend, but it's hard when you
Shut down and hide yourself
Away
Nothings changed, I'm still
Here for you, but you have got to
Reach out your hand, meet me
Half way, I'll do my best to
Teach you how to
Let go and face your deepest
Fears, release those
Demons that have held you back for
Years
I'm not
Saying that this is impossible, but we're
Gonna need a minor miracle, I'm not
Saying that this is impossible, but we're
Gonna need a minor miracle, so hope and
Pray

Here for you, but you have got to
Reach out your hand, meet me

Let go and face your deepest
Fears, release those

Years, and one
Day you'll see that the weight has dropped a-
Way, and one
Day you'll see that the weight has dropped a-
Way, and one
Day you'll see that the weight has dropped a-
Way, dropped a-

Raised from the deep, from my sleep
From a sweet dream that is fading fast
Speak in tongues, take a leak
While my brain is still engaging
Oh, hello again reality, wishing I was
Someone else instead of being me, hoping for a
Miracle to come and set me free, but I know I'm
Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up
Crunch through the day, for my pay
Wrangling with things that make me die
On the inside, look away
While my soul is being strangled
And I dream of a better place, wishing I was
Somewhere else instead of in this space, hoping for a
Change to come but so far nothing does, and I know I'm
Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up
It's not what I want
It's not what I need
It's not how I saw
The way that things would be
I'm alive, I will survive
Keep on going, live in hope not hate
There's a chance, circumstance
Can resolve before it's too late
And I know that I'm culpable, if I do the
Same time and again, get the same result
Need to modify the things I do if I want things to change
Be that butterfly and beat my wings and start a hurricane
Rock the casbah, roll the dice and take my chance
Whirling like a dervish in a dance
And with a little luck
And perhaps some fairy dust
It's situation normal, not fucked up

Hey, you look cool, and I love your tattooed
Skin, got a thing for a girl in leather
We should go out, we'd look good together
I'm on the hunt for a friend for ever
So, let me show you round, far below the
Earth, take you underground, where they gave me
Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my
Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer The Rifft
It's not bad, got a reputation
Not what you need if you seek salvation
Sin, just a word, it's a way of life here
Got what you want, we have every vice here
So, let me show you round, far below the
Earth, take you underground, where they gave me
Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my
Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer The Rifft
(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot
(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot
(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot
(Where angels fear to tread) so come on down
Hit the town, you just name your poison
Anything goes, there are no restrictions
Do what you feel, they have seen it all here
Once you walk in you will never leave here
So, let me show you round, far below the
Earth, take you underground, where they gave me
Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my
Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer The Rifft
(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot
(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot
(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot

really boring
© Asbo Slipz 2024
I'm watching you
It's really boring
There's nothing new
An empty shell
Oh God!
Not Wonderwall
Heard that before mate
Play one of yours
Or just fuck off, well it
Seems to me like
Certain people
Need attention
I won't mention
Names
Had enough of hearing Creep it
Puts me in a coma sleep
Playing to the crowd is easy
But it lacks integrity
Where is your imagination?
Don't you get bored as me?
Pick four chords and write some lyrics
Tell me what you've got to say
You've got the look
You've got the contacts
But then you're fucked
You got no songs
You're really really really really really fucking boring
I know it's hard
To play your own shit
When all they want is
Sweet Caroline, well it
Seems to me like
Certain people
Need attention
I won't mention
Names
Had enough of Teenage Dirtbag
Every fucker plays that stodge
I would rather stab my ears out
If it meant that I could dodge
Valerie and Mr Brightside,
Not to mention Four Non Blondes
Pick four chords and write some lyrics
Tell me what you've got to
Say
I'm watching you
It's really boring
There's nothing new
An empty shell, well it
Seems to me like
Certain people
Need attention
I won't mention
Names
You're really really really really really fucking boring
You've got the look
You've got the contacts
But then you're fucked
You got no songs, got no songs
beautiful people

When I was born the midwife cried
She couldn't quite believe her eyes, well we
Can't all be Keanu Reeves, or
Beauty Queens, and kids are mean, I tell you
School was hell, I could not wait for the
Bell to ring and to hit that gate
There's no point in asking why,
U-G-L-Y, I ain't go no alibi
Skin deep, tough
Shit, I just make the best of it I give
No fucks, I don't care that I was
Back of the line when they gave out the looks
But it's hard to take when you comprehend you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Slam the door in your fucking face, you can
Never be one of the beautiful people
Well I've tried, and I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, that I don't belong with the
Beautiful people, beautiful people like
You
So I tried to hide away, I've got
Nice legs, it's a shame about the boat race, a
Face for radio, no Stevie Nicks, I've been
Beaten black and blue with the ugly stick
And I watch, but I don't understand, the
Celebrity shows with the perfectly tanned with their
Perfect teeth and their perfect houses their
Perfect lives with their perfect spouses it's
Skin deep, such a
Waste, a nice smile doesn't buy you taste and it's
Shallow, there's no meaning in
Selling your pictures to Hello! Magazine but it's
Hard to take when you comprehend you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Slam the door in your fucking face, you will
Never be one of the beautiful people
Well I've tried, and I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, that I don't belong with the
Beautiful people, beautiful people like
You
But I've found my tribe now, I've got my fam and I
Know who they are, they are fucking amazing, I
Know they accept me the way that I am, they're
Beautiful people in all kinds of ways
But not beautiful people like
You
But not beautiful people like
You I've tried, but I've learned
You just can't polish a turd and I
Know, but I just don't care I will
Never be one of the, beautiful people

life in the slow lane
© Asbo Slipz 2024
I don't go to any crazy parties
I'm in bed before the clock hits 10pm
Then I sleep 8 hours and I
Do it all over again
I'm not built for the rock and roll lifestyle
I do drugs, yeah I'm hooked on ibu-
Profen and paracetamol, they keep me
Rolling rolling rolling
I don't mind, I don't want to be sedated
I walk the line that is less complicated
Don't wanna live with the permanently brain dead
When I wake up, I'm always in my own bed
I see posts from the people who are out and
About, I got no fear of missing
Out
Way to go, I'm living life in the slow lane
Sometimes I might go mad and push the boat out
Stay up 'til midnight, or even 1 o'clock
But it makes me tired and it takes me
Days to get my brain straight again
I love my bed it is my favourite place to
Be; nowhere else that is so warm and so cosy
I'm an addict, I'm addicted to sleep, I'm a
Narcoleptic son of a beach
I don't care, I don't want to see the sunrise
Don't understand how you can fight against your own eyes
Did it once and it nearly damn killed me
I'm happy lying in the dark beneath my duvet
I see posts from the people who are living the
Dream, but it looks like a nightmare to
Me
Way to go, I'm living life in the slow lane
You might say that this is waving the white flag
Need to grab every hour and fight against
The dying of the light, but sometimes
Good things can happen in the night
I'm getting older, well it happens to us all, I finally
Hear the call that I'm not nineteen
Forever, I need to pull myself
Together not get down with the trumpets
It's not fair, but it's coded in my genome
The brakes are on, I'm starting with the slow down
I've got joints but they are arthritic
Instead of shots I'm drinking lots of Ovaltine
I don't mind, I don't want to be sedated
I walk the line that is less complicated
Don't wanna live with the permanently brain dead
When I wake up, I'm always in my own bed
I see posts from the people who are out and
About, I got no fear of missing
Out, oh no I'm living
Life in the slow lane
Fo sho I'm living
Life in the slow lane, yeah
communication breakdown
© Asbo Slipz 2023
Here we go, off again
Did I say something really stupid?
Not for the first time, I never learn
I shoot my mouth off and you burn
I didn't mean to cause you pain
We never talk about it, we soldier on
We hide the cuts pretend we're strong
Didn't mean to be cruel
I'm a fool it is pretty obvious
I get obnoxious, when I get drunk
A lack of judgement once again
I didn't mean to cause you pain
We never talk about it, you shut the door
I build a bridge, you build a wall
And who's to blame? It comes from
Misconnection, alienation
It's such a shame, no need for
This communication breakdown
I can see how it seems
So I beg you for your forgiveness
A messy business, I understand
Why you would hesitate to take
Another chance on me again
We never talk about it, we close our eyes
So this should come as no surprise
Communication is the key
Communication is the key
If there is hope for you and me
Lying here in our bed, I want to touch you but
I want to touch you but you're a fortress
Impregnable and cold as steel
I seach for gaps but I can't feel
A way to get inside your armour
Could we just talk about it? Just let me in
Open the drawbridge let's begin again
And who's to blame? It comes from
Misconception, alienation
It's such a shame, no need for
This communication breakdown
We need to talk about it, we need to find
A way to make it to the other side
We need to talk about it, we need a plan
We need to give ourselves a second chance
We need to talk about it
hearts and minds (acoustic mix)
© Asbo Slipz 2024
And so we have reached the end
Of this journey friend
It's been fun but now the curtain is coming down
And there's no more light
I have watched you fight
You deserve a goddamn standing ovation
Out of sight
You're somewhere over the rainbow
Out of time, but you
Still live in our hearts and our minds
And we, we try hard to blaze
A trail through this maze
We go down in flames it comes to us all we
Love, and it brings us pain
But I'd do it again
If I got to know your soul for a moment
So we lift a glass up
And we remember days
When we could see
Your smiling face yeah
Out of sight
You're somewhere over the rainbow
Out of time, but you
Still live in our hearts and our minds
And we'll meet again
Don't know where or when
But I'll see you
Somewhere over the rainbow
make me clean again

Well it's getting dark here
In the barrio the days are
Closing in and the sun don't show and I'm low
So can you take me higher?
I need your burning love to light my fire
And desire, it's an animal thing
I like the way you look yeah
You make-my-bell-ring
But it's more than that, I have another goal
You're the disinfectant to cleanse my
Soul, love, wash me down, make me shine
Shine bright
Oh, love, take your time make me shine
Shine bright
Give me the works, I don't care if it hurts
Strip the layers off, yeah, remove all of the dirt
And the pain
I think that you can help me
I know that you can make me clean again
Another day goes by
I'm not getting younger
Running out of time to feed this hunger
I'm all red meat and I like it rare so
Come on baby, time to bare everything
I want to bathe in your beautiful gaze
I want to taste your skin
Want to feel myself
Inside your body, inside your mind
Turn you inside out and look upon your
Soul, love, wash me down, make me shine
Shine bright
Oh, love, take your time make me shine
Shine bright
Give me the works, I don't care if it hurts
Strip the layers off, yeah, remove all of the dirt
And the pain
I think that you can help me
I know that you can make me clean again
You can make me clean again
You can make me clean again
Can you make me clean again?
And desire, it's an animal thing
I like the way you look yeah
You make-my-bell-ring
But it's more than that, I have another goal
You're the disinfectant to cleanse my
Soul, love, wash me down, make me shine
Shine bright
Oh, love, take your time make me shine
Shine bright
Give me the works, I don't care if it hurts
Strip the layers off, yeah, remove all of the dirt
And the pain
I think that you can help me
I know that you can make me clean again
Yeah, you can make me clean again

Outside, they move
On the hunt for the non-believers
Stay low, eyes down
Keep your head below the parapet, parapet
Keep still, lights out
Make no sound if you want to get out of here
Keep calm, stay true
Pray if you want but it really won't help you
Fish out of water, cuckoo in the nest
You're not like us so we think it's best if you
Move on, leave this place
No room for difference, got no tolerance
Be scared, be afraid
Knock on the door; it's a midnight raid
Pogrom, hate crime
Used to be your friends; but now they're on the other side
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
Strange fruit, in the trees
Well they swing in the cold cold breeze so
Swing low sweet chariot
Hear the singing of the marionettes.
Boot stamp, fist grind
We're just here to help you make up your mind
Binary, no grey
You're either with us or we're taking you away
Unrest, civil war
Vigilantes go from door to door and there's
No rules, no law
At the mercy of the kangaroo court
Judge and jury, Alpha - Omega
No reprieve, no there's no one to save you
Bang bang, you're dead
Feel the noose tightening around your neck
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
You're not like us, you know you don't belong here
This is genocide, we're just cleaning up the gene pool
Last night, I dreamt
I lived in a place that was tolerant
Free speech, free minds
No fear, no hate crime
Utopia, hard won
Rights from the fights down the generations
Stand up, defend
Fight for your rights, vive la difference
You won't break us no you won't defeat us.
You won't break us no you won't defeat us.
You won't break us no you won't defeat us.
Vive la difference, we are Spartacus.
Vive la difference
Vive la difference

Cursing my luck again
Feeling the sting
Forcing a smile again
Faking a grin
This is the final dance
Hard times ahead
Straight for the jugular
Knocking you dead
Going down, we're set for disaster
Going round and round ever faster
You and me we don't pull together
You and me could do so much better
I can't take no more, life is too damn short
I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere
Now I see the light, I can put this right
And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now
This is the tipping point
This is the day
Feeling the energy
Riding the wave
You are the one I want
You are the prize
I'd be your Romeo
I'd treat you right
Come on round, come on now and try me
Come on down, the past is behind me
You and me we should be together
You and me could be so much better
I can't take no more, life is too damn short
I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere
Now I see the light, I can put this right
And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now
You could be anything
Could you be mine?
It's just a step away
Crossing that line
Take a chance, let's do this together
Second chance to make something better
You and me, it's all that we need now
You and me against all the world now
I can't take no more, life is too damn short
I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere
Now I see the light, I can put this right
And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now
I must pull the ripcord now
I must pull the ripcord now

Lyrics: Chloe Jacquet
Come, take my hands
Let’s spin as fast as we can
Then let’s collapse onto the ground
So we can feel how fast the world whirls around
We both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
We both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
I can wear THAT flowy dress
You can wear your Tuesday best
Like in the movies we’ll run through the fields
We’ll trip on roots, fall head over heels
Then get back up with
Grazed elbows and knees
For we both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
When the dusk comes we’ll lie on the ground
Stare up at the infinity of stars.
We’ll imagine it’s all upside down
That if we don’t cling to the grass
We'll go tumbling
Into the future
Where we both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
Time has come to a standstill
The sun is holding its breath
The universe shrinks down until
There’s only the two of us left
And even if
The whole planet shifts
We both know that this will last
Not even the sky can pull us apart
Not even the sky can hold us apart
Not even the sky can keep us apart

Lyrics: Chloe Jacquet
Reaching for high lines
Balancing on high wires
A dream of being fly highers
Whose are the golden lives?
Dogs are pointing
Primed for pieces of flesh
From rats on the treadmill
The game is game to them
I can't keep running, running, running, running
Running, running running, running - I need to catch a breath
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running - 'til just my knees are left
I just keep running, running, running, running,
Running, running - that chain's got me enmeshed
And I keep running, running, running
'Til there's only my knuckles left
It’s high time
Selling me the high life
None of it can be mine
When they’re the ones setting the price
I’m Prometheus at sunrise
The eagles feed on me to fly
They always get the prize
No matter how hard I try
I can't keep running, running, running, running
Running, running running, running - I need to catch a breath
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running - 'til just my knees are left
I just keep running, running, running, running,
Running, running - that chain's got me enmeshed
And I keep running, running, running
'Til there's only my knuckles left
I can't keep running, running, running, running
Running, running running,
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running, running
And I must keep running, running running, running,
Running, running, running
But I keep running, running running, running,
Running, running, running, running
