Starting out with empty pockets
Got the backpacks with our way.
Thinking nights have endless hours
Going comfy through the days.
Living life in motion
No matter where we stay
Heading up towards the north
With endless miles along the bay.
Bay of plenty, remarkably, so worth to stay
We`re so glad we had this tiki tour together
Keep our noses in the wind to find our way
I`m gonna keep this souvenir until forever
We`ve been hanging out at matai bay
Stopping by to watch the sunrise
As the waves come within our reach.
people f*** in the nature
so smooth and feeling free
the land of the long white cloud
it`s been the place to be
driving miles along the ocean
start a new life you and me
Bay of plenty, remarkably, so worth to stay
We`re so glad we had this tiki tour together
Keep our noses in the wind to find our way
I`m gonna keep this souvenir until forever
We`ve been hanging out at matai bay
It´s been the moment of our lives
The missing piece that everybody strives
first time to know what I feel is real
It´s been surreal.

Wooden Fences

The haunts of youth remind us of our ease
The rude music which was meant to please
Pulsing places in the dawn.
But now it’s all gone.
Are you the one to blame for
Look at you watch, it’s time to get up
Bracing borders all along your shore
No need for friends, no turning on your way
pale colour in the dawn of your face
your easiness turned into a wiggy gloom
with every day your fading out grace
when was the last time you laughed out loud?
degermanize, degermanize, degermanize, degermanize,
Wooden fences
Set your flag on the ground
Closing gates behind you
Hunch up in your cave.
Wooden fences
Set your flag on the ground
Closing gates behind you
In stone you re names engraved.
Take on your Jelly bag cap
Or the squared checked hat, it’s bourgeois, too
On confidence reminding gap
The rims are polished, where the sun won’t shine
The kids are begging for a smile
All your thoughts are scattered, just like a fool
Building walls around your own isle
You’re almost tied to the whipping post
Bend down to crawl up, Bend down to crawl up,
Bend down to crawl up, Bend down to crawl up,
Wooden fences
Set your flag on the ground
Closing gates behind you
Hunch up in your cave.
Wooden fences
Set your flag on the ground
Closing gates behind you
In stone you re names engraved.
The haunts of youth remind us of our ease
The rude music which was wont to please
Pulsing places in the dawn.

My Past

Sometimes I think about my past
And all the days, my days with you
I know you´ll always be part of me, part of me
Sometimes I can´t stop thinking of you
And some memories come back to me
I saw you in the dark sky, with my heart beating fast
And if I could …. But the memories are erased, the memories are erased
so much you gave to me, my soul broke
and I don’t know how to heal
remedy you mean to me, my soul broke
now that I am alone
Sometimes life is like a drag
With only bad bad days for me
And I wonder which path to trust, path to trust
Sometimes the days take toll on me
my spirits lay low and I see
see me falling in agony, agony
and if I could…. But you´re leading me the way, leading me the way
sometimes I feel that I ´m on top
ain´t nothing gonna make me stop
and kerosene´s fueling me, fueling me
the mule below is humming the bass
the king on top whistling a phrase
unforgettable unity unity
and if I could…. I will always ride this way, always ride this
I still owe you some melodies
When I think about our past
Cause I can still hear your rhythm
And this harmony it lasts this harmony it lasts
Sometimes I wish I could believe
In coming days, new days with you
But then I see that you laugh at me laugh at me
Today I´m glad with how things are
Despite missing you, how bizarre
Grown on encouragement, encouragement
and if I could… I put you in a song, I put you in a song
I still owe you some melodies
When I think about our past
Cause I can still hear your rhythm
And this harmony it lasts this harmony it lasts

Identity

The more you get into it – the more you step outside
The more you get used to it – the more it hides
The less you care for it – the more it fades
The less you come by it – the more you hate
The closer you study it – the more it falls apart
The more you comprehend – it breaks your heart
The more you gain from it – the more you gonna lose
The more you receive from it – the more you use
The less you restitute – the more you stand outside
The less affection shown – the more you fight
The more equality – the more the difference fade
It will be standing still – how sad a fate
Did you ever realize you are a part in this experiment
Trying to break out of this zero-sum-situation
Connecting, reading out the data nights when you´re asleep
The organism seeking unity
Feeding you identity, reason credibility,
Alternatively faith or intellectual fidelity
Did you ever realize you are a part in this experiment
Trying to break out of this zero sum situation
Connecting, reading out the data nights when you´re asleep
The organism seeking unity

the driver sais too many crooks have come to town,
I figure out where I heard these words before
and so we´re standing on the street and
throw our heads back to follow imaginary lines
while the lift illuminates the prospect of the queue
crook the bouncer babe you say
while the door lays us off to a room where the hungry people go
cross for the bar, for a drink, for a look around
so that we know what we´re gonna have and what its gonna take
Solar
Out of this maze
Solar
How far can we drive it before we´re going too far
Solar
the band nails a thread onto the floor
it must be something deep and rusty from the past
And for a while I adore and gonna follow the red line
To identify the bored chilling which is on
Stuck in expectation babe you stay
Across the room I feel the urge for something to come on and on
And on the pictures that we take your smile is real
And who would have thought that you are up for a lot of nice things to happen in your life
Solar
Out of this maze
Solar
How far can we drive it before we´re going too far
