Trust No One

I trust no one these days, yes I’m the only child
I trust no one these days, yes I’m the only child
I trust no one these days, yes I’m the only child
I trust no one these days, yes I’m the only child
Then you come to me with your fists like bullets
And you got plenty, plenty to say
You come to me in the middle of the night
The sky is pouring down on my head again
You say, don’t trust any politicians
They will tell you only what they want
Their faces radiate through the TV
Their voices shout out on the radio
You say don’t trust nobody
Be faithful, yours alone
I’ve been walking long hours through the city
I say what a mess what a terrible mess
I trust no one but myself
I trust no one these days yes I’m the only child
I trust only my mother I’m the only child
I trust only my father yes I’m the only child

Picasso's Octopuss
03:30
|

Slither over and around my body
The worst nightmare I could ever have
See me dive into deep dark water
Flat the surface full of ink
Rattle over, I drink and study
The beauty of your blissful skin
Where’s the flashlight
I need a weapon to keep my monster at bay
Put your arms around my neck
See the structure shape and sweat
Swim, swim swim hey Picasso’s dream!
Show up show yourself up
I cannot bare it any longer
Shake me up or tie me up
I’m a lost treasure in a trap
And finally, I can rest my body
After a day spent at a beach
Still I can recall the terror
Your tentacles in a tight embrace
Put your arms around my neck
See the structure shape and sweat
Swim, swim swim hey Picasso’s dream!

After Dark
03:20
|
|||
I spend my evenings alone, after dark waiting for you
Oh such a struggle to be apart, to be apart the ending of you
I’m no fortune teller, when the future comes
By the neck grab her let the fortune flow
I’m no crystal gazer, said the crystal ball
Still I get tangled up in what was lost
On the kitchen floor, mercury
Spilled last night could kill us both
I wanna have iron skin, I wanna be invincible
Invincible, invincible, invincible
You say you need a visionary
Who can see it all, the changes and the pattern
In disgraceful world
Nothing lasts forever so I’ve been told
Our skin gets fragile from the deadly smoke

King of Gardens
04:23
|

I’m a travellin’ King of Gardens
The train goes steady, mark my words
I have forsaken all my money
To build the kingdom of trees & plants
From the east to the west
I sold my belongings and shovelled them back
Been on the inside & on the outside
Seen all the faces of splendour & cream
He wanted to live in paradise
Disconnected from inland policies
Under the sun
So I fell, I fell asleep, seen prancing Eve
Round an olive tree
None of the riches will make you fitter
If you’re still cravin’ silver and gold
She said to me, blew into my ear softly
I felt the buzz of her words
Dance around, dance around me
Dance around till I get what I came for
He wanted to live in paradise
Disconnected from inland policies
Under the sun seems to be easier
To leave everything behind
Seems to be easier
To leave everything behind

Mr. President
03:16
|

Oh mister president, I will be dead tomorrow
Covered in rhinestone blood, peachy lips turn pale
Spoke with you yesterday, how unsettled was I
In an empty hotel room
The last memory of me died
All the girls with dancefloor eyes
All the girls with dancefloor eyes
All you girls with dancefloor eyes
All you girls with dancefloor eyes
Can’t believe what they’re saying
All the girls should be like a lilac flower
Always glamorous and pristine
Down the staircase I was running from myself
I lost my breath, oh darling it’s just a movie
See how frightening it can get
Down the staircase I was running from myself
I lost my breath, oh darling it’s just a movie
See how frightening it can get
All the girls with dancefloor eyes
All the girls with dancefloor eyes
All you girls with dancefloor eyes
All you girls with dancefloor eyes

Scream Sea Lions
05:31
|

San Francisco for you my love
Scream sea lions behind the fog
Tape recorder rum not coke
Leisure long blow, I hear you smoke
At the sea high tide breaks
We were stranded Sausalito bay
Siren’s call in the middle of a day
You seduced me, made me wanna stay
I walk I walk I walk
Through the city never stop
I walk I walk I walk
Through the city never stop
I beat, I beat, I beat the light
I beat, I beat, I beat the night
Wish I'd never fell asleep that night
Wish I'd never fell asleep that night

Strangers Allow
05:13
|
|||
I set my eyes on the spire
For many years remained untouched
Smoke’s running around in circles
Oh Paris, dear, you’ve been out of luck
A siren swiftly blew its whistle
Fire, Fire - I heard them shout
This is the end, something to remember
A blaze, a crowd
Strangers allow, on your knees now
Pray for me hey
Sleep now baby, sleep now baby
There’s nothing to worry about
The trouble is my memory left me
Not as a child but as a grown up man
Nothing to recall, and nothing to be written
A blaze, a crowd
Strangers allow, on your knees now
Pray for me hey

Kite Dancer
03:52
|
|||
Hilly dances kite your will
Celebration give me thrills
Old stones thrown around
Young and youthful, kicking ground
Heal me, mend me
Reinstate me, be there for me, you
Just don’t break me
I’m a kite dancer with a tight string
Tied to your body and a ring
I might fall and bruise my knees
Get carried over by the wind
Heal me, mend me
Reinstate me, be there for me, you
Just don’t break me
Heal me, mend me
Reinstate me, be there for me
Just don’t break me
