Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away A massive loss of data A massive loss of data A massive loss of data A massive loss of data Take me away take me away take me away Take me away take me away take me away There into space there into space take me away Take me away take me away take me away A massive loss of data A massive loss of data A massive loss of data A massive loss of data Don’t shed you tears They are so pure Pain’s coming first Then find the cure You look like sand King of your land Please put my name In every line of rain Please don’t forget Or you might find me dead When I was child Long time ago I was the same Down in the core Under the sand King of my land Please put your grin Under my old skin Please don’t forget Or you might find me dead Hustled into this world with great lack of details I look at the wave shape of the setting sun

And they picture themselves with a mask On their face in the dark saying mass and They picture themselves telling great big lies And they dress in a colourful way to escape From the black hole of shame While the white sound of wind sweeps away Their crimes Pointing their fingers at me ‘cause they Think I am what they can see And ignoring Maya’s veil Yellow leaves fill the gutter And the puddles fill the road They keep sniffing and biting and chewing And swallowing what they were previously Doing and growing as big as molecular teams In the soup And they don’t see the difference between Their desires and the abstraction of sin they End up cheating on their regretting minds But you know if you want to be safe you just Have to start digging your grave from the Very beginning of wintertime See how they’re looking at you maybe they Just want to sleep with you but you’ll never Let me know ‘Cause their words hurt my tummy And your body hurts my soul While they’re laughing and coughing and Raving and fighting each other to spy on Those ladies and being the great laughing Stock of the primordial soup I see you down on the wheat field The sun is dazzled by your flattery I see you here inside this room I lift my head But I can’t hear you breathe

A place among the rocks Where the elements sleep upon the sand A breeze around his head And the motionless things become alive She said it was a tune That turns into a song to play sometimes He thought it was a ride On the merry-go-round in Swingerland Then the alchemists Had a brainstorm and Changed the world behind Everything transformed Was a chemical thing, no joke, no lie Ah ah ah Sublimate sublimely Now they find themselves In the test tube of god Unaware of those who might be at the door There she goes She's the sunny one He might never come back from cloud nine Hurry up! He's the chalky one He needs liquid kisses from her smile

The Shark 04:27
Summer sun underwater is blade That cuts eyes, blind eyes An old dance to survive Salt and blood Soon we'll be a small part of the sea But your teeth are gold Shark is what you call love Move for life Lining coast and blue bedclothes Lazy womb and dirty words Dear oh dear kiss the big ugly shark But you know I would rather live in a pond Let's just try Swim swim fast I was meant to be last I'm your dish I would rather be a small fish Waiting still Lining coast and blue bedclothes Lazy womb and dirty words Winter darkness coming to the sea And you can't stop eating Foam of madness, a delicacy Like a rusty tender boat That's sinking deep down in the sea Where you can't stop eating Blame your nature you will never be A cute mermaid singing Scarlet baby Kiss the evil shark 'Cause you're made of water Deadly lady What have you got in your mouth That can't be shown at last to me?
