METAL SKIN

You sometimes feel dejected

‘cause you always want

the things you cannot have

It’s how I spent my days

I would hold you in the morning

I would hold you ‘til I’m dying

I’m the one I am with you

It doesn’t matter if we

all want

It doesn’t matter if I

If I hate what I have become

though I like the one I’m still

It feels strange,

the way I slide

upon your metal skin

The things I ‘ve said were true

Yeah, I love you

The things I said to warn you

I didn’t think so much

even if I fail,

I hope we’ll keep in touch

You want stars in your chest

or a nest on Mars

It doesn’t matter

as long as it’s off your hands

So, would you keep me from falling

Would you stop confusing

...me, even if I know it’s impractical

It doesn’t matter if we

all want

the things we cannot have

the things we left behind

the things that makes us blind

Once my fingers ‘ve touched

the warmness of your perfect skin

Oh, it’s hard not to feel ugly ever since

Would I feel more power

if I had an hangover

Or is this bed a bloody battle field?

A bloody battle field

A bloody battle field...

I think it’s cool

when I’m a fool

That’s what I’m sayin’ to myself

but I happen not to think so

Don’t want the things

that i’m not sure are good for me

but I still want your hips and your eyes.

Don’t want the things

that I’m not sure are good for me

but I still want your hips and your eyes

Bleak

You’ve barely said hello

when we met yesterday

I know it’s the way you are

well, that’s what you say...

A blast in your head

on a black and blue morning...

You’ve already forgotten me

Am i supposed to talk now?

All these years pull me down

I’m gonna use your mouth

to fill up my foolish days

It’s a rainy tuesday

the wind blows in the trees

Your silence ‘s just

bleeding out my ears

Is there no need to fight ?

Have I already lost ?

I’m gonna break the barriers

or I’m gonna leave it all...

Am i supposed to talk now

All these years pull me down

I’m gonna use your mouth

to fill up my foolish days

and i’m gonna use the word ” nude “

to define the perfect way

I should have Known

You feel I'm lazy

when I'm with you

and You think I'm lingering

since I know you

I'd mess around by saying

“ you're wrong “

My body looks like

a forlorn dimension,

with some fears,

some confusion

Waiting for doomsday

to finally escape

When You look behind me

as I’m talking to you

You make me feel

I'm invisible

You should have known

somehow you should

you should have known

how to injure my pride

and disable me forever

and I should have known

I was over the hill

The things I will say

I don’t remember yet

When I gazed into your eyes

I thought you were

worrying about me

the next second

I'm feeling guilty

Please,throw your cigarette

and take off your shoes

Yeah,I'm gonna pay

and I'm gonna feel gnomic

So,I should Known

you were that far

The one who has buried my lodestar

I'm messing around

It sounds like an old cliche

But I am a ghost, y'know,well, it's all go

and I'm foul when I think of you

i'm playing the fool to cowardly avoid

the things I should face and you...

-Repeat first Chorus twice-

Everything’s blurred

I’m staring at the ceiling

tryin’ to forget what i’m feeling

I never succeed

I knew that from the start

I knew that I would be hurt

but I didn’t mind

I just wondered...

I always want to feel the peace

I always try but there’s war

on all sides

I always try to feel the peace

but there’s war on all sides

in my head

All the nights when you’re down,

All the days you feel blue

I just want you to think about me,

All the hours you’re strong ,

All the seconds you dare,

remember I’m always there

” Every time a bell rings

an angel gets his wings “

That’s what he said...

I haven’t my wings yet

though I try to be perfect

Is it worthwhile?

I’m looking for a shoulder,

a hand in my hand

but not mine

I think it’s over...

All the nights when you’re down

All the days you feel blue

I don’ want you to think about me

All the hours you’re strong

All the seconds you dare

remember I’m always there

You told me things

I’m not sure

I did want to know

Everything’s blurred...

I heard you say

you were fine

you were happy at last

I feel empty and I’m not fine

I ‘d like to say something else

But you stole me

the occasion to...

All the nights when you’re down,

All the days you feel blue

I know you don’t even think about me,

All the hours you’re strong

All the seconds you dare

Even if there’s a smile, you don’t really care

The Secret

Hey judy , come over

I won't laugh about what you were

I'll wait for spring

to change everyone's size

I like to pretend that some weird aliens

are gonna find you

You' ll talke it okay

Hey judy, it's ok

I won't smile

even tell a a word

but you want to hear,

and you want to know

what I prefer or what I know

I'm gonna find you

you'll take it okay

DOWN

You say she pushes you down

after all this time...

but as time goes by

you finally back down

So, you’re falling asleep

on her virgin lind

your eyes are butterflies

that never land down

So, you would share your life

but she doesn’t mind

with everything you might say

she’d say ” I cannot stay “

She’s part of your past

remember nothing lasts

All the world’s you’ve been through,

one for each day

and whatever you do,

It all looks the same

See what you’ve done and what you will become

even if it sets your mind astray, sets your mind astray

So, you would share your life

cut it into many parts

to satisfy everyone

just to fill your lies

the girl with the hope and the rain in her eyes

she wants you, she wants you to realize

soon she’ll be gone

Water

If you see my daughter, tell her

i’m at the water, four days yet

that i do what you said ...

You know, everybody smiles and

everybody lies ‘bout the way they feel

it’s just so easy

The night, well, it is not so frightening

When the streetlights move with the wind

when the leaves fly, land down on your roof

So, if i hit the bottle once again

it is not what you think

it is not what i try to make you think it is

it’s just that i’m weak

If you see your mother, girl

please, ask her if i can come back,

if she feels a lack as big as mine

If you knew how hard it is for me

you wouldn’t smile, you wouldn’t ask

but maybe you would try to understand

-Chorus-

I know i’ve been not that good

I made mistakes and i still do

but you should have told me i wasn’t true

-Chorus-

The things you’re afraid of

I don’t care what you say

It doesn’t make much sense

I don’t care why you lie

if you only have a reason why

So, if you don’t want to come now

if you want to stay home

if you want to live on your own...

There’s so much joys you should have joined in

and so much things you should have done yet...

Your heart so daintily

always seems dated

The ones you dazzle

are all the ones who are like you

So, if I look inside of you

I’ll see thousands of birds

raising their wings to take their freedom

There’s so much joys you should have joined in

and so much things you should have done yet

You don’t think what I’m thinkin’ now

Well, I know that it’s not your kind

You are different

You are clean

So, now, It’s time to rise

It’s time to dare

the things you’re afraid of...

Radio

I listen to my radio

There’s nothing left to do

I listen to my radio

There’s nothing left from you

I’m goin’ North Ontario

reaching out my fate

I’ll forget the things I wanted to know

I’ll remember our only date

I listen to the radio

and cry on what has been said

I listen to the radio

It’s all I have in head

Radio - Radio,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh

(I’m goin’ North Ontario)

Radio - Radio,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh

(I’m goin’ North Ontario)

I’d like to sleep inside of you

to see if heart’s still blue

Have your baby brought some brushes

though you’d have loved more choices

The precious life inside of you

does it shine through you

and have you finally succed to smile

did he help you to

I would love to please but i’m still yearning

All the letters I wrote that you put in the garbage can...

but I’m goin’(to) listen ... to my radio

(I’m gonna listen...)

but I’m goin’ (to) listen ... to my radio

(I’m gonna listen...)

Higher Mountains

Follow me down into the trees, where the mountains

are high, where the lawn hasn’t been mowed, where

the grass is stil high

but don’t treat me like a lady, don’t treat me like a lady

don’t treat me like a lady

And so, you’re still learning what i’m trying to forget

The things my friend told me, it has already been said

He told me was afraid of the following years, was afraid

of the dark when he was a litlle kid and sometimes

he fears loneliness, sometimes fears loneliness and

sometimes fears happiness too

And so you’re still telling him what he should do know

he’s patiently listening to you tellin’ him how...

How to confuse everyone, how to make his eyes shine,

how to abuse all woman, to put her in his spiderweb

but you forgot his personnality

you forgot his personnality

you forgot him....

I wanna see you

I wanna hangin' around

I wanna see you

I wanna hangin' around

I wanna see you

to protect myself

I said OK, I said OK, I said OK
