Rose colour washes over a memory 
that does not exist, the napalm is mist
over strange fruit so I won’t see
Quiet murder and gentle rape
Carefully silenced to keep us safe

smash this scene
Crash the time machine
I hope the world allows
Me to be here now

Horses ride into gunfire beside 
a river with veins of mercury
flowing from grandad’s factory
To the family villa by the sea
There’s a red line around where some have to stay
so why would we want the good old days?

smash this scene
Crash the time machine
I hope the world allows
Me to be here now
Dare to dream
A place that we’ve never been 
I hope the world allows
Me to be here now.

Neighbours fought to be free of all tyranny
So in honour of that please take a knee
Cause we are crashing this time machine
out of the past and into the trees
not cut for crosses or laying of wreathes
Banding together to fight a disease
We are crashing this time machine
Cause why skip ahead missing what we could be
And why go back to when we couldn’t breathe
And pay lip service to what we believe

Earthtones include the asphalt and the dirty styrofoam
I see you hide in the long grass outside my happy home
Rootless in name alone
I keep the blinds closed
And when you knocked I froze
When you knocked I froze

(I don’t see walls
I don’t see the floor
I never leave so I don’t need the door)

Each day is marked exactly by what I find
Each year becomes a pile of three hundred sixty five souvenirs

(I don’t see walls
I don’t see the floor
I never leave so I don’t need the door)

You’ve come back to take care of me
By tossing away all my legacy

(I know you’re in there)
I heard that before 
(I know you’re in there)
Oh I try
I try but there’s no way to intone
That being alone can save you from me and me from you

(I don’t see walls)
But I feel love
I take it slow)
So don’t come close
(and if I leave I want to have a place to go)
I built a world, built a world of my own
(I saved myself)
Never throw good away
(Leave what I got)
Never throw, never throw, never throw good away
(It’s evidence that I loved the world a lot)

Take the car, If you want
To the all you can eat restaurant
Deep night

White pants, bad choice
In a velvet smoker’s voice, dark thoughts about your friends

Blame it on me anytime you think that works
Blame is laid and still you hurt

No sense, you had the jam
But you moved too fast for the plan
Trip wire, call the cops

My only crime, was to care
Your mistakes are never there ‘cause mine rise to the top

Blame it on me anytime to save yourself
You blame instead of letting out a cry for help

Mouth foams with your menacing tones
Got no point but you're driving it home
An educated guess led to taking a chance
Now an innocent victim of circumstance

Blame it on me anytime you think that works
Blame is laid and still you hurt

I’m your fall guy
I’m your fall guy
I’m your fall guy
I’m your fall guy

(The blame is laid, the blame is laid and still you hurt)

Lemme tell you
I don’t feel so bad about the consequences
It’s one thing I’ve learned
Failure sounds like feathers falling from the sky
If you isolate the word
Your pouting lips as you politely say “no”
Confetti ash from the heart of the volcano
You threw a match and I went to catch it
My heart’s on fire ‘cause it landed on my jacket

Catch a falling knife as you try to make it right
Let it break or it breaks you
Tackled to the ground as you’re running to the light
Giving up won’t change you, won’t change you, won’t change you

Mark the days by the bed on the prison wall
And romanticize
Once a year you visit and behind the glass
You say orange suits my eyes
I drove the car, the getaway did no go
You got away and wisely tried to lay low
You drew the plans up and I followed dutifully
If we get back to gather then we executed beautifully

Catch a falling knife as you try to make it right
Let it break or it breaks you
Tackled to the ground as you’re running to the light
Giving up won’t change you, won’t change you
Won’t change you

Blame it on me anytime
Blame it on me anytime
Still you hurt
Blame it on me anytime

Blame it on me anytime to save yourself
You blame instead of letting out a cry for help

I’m your fall guy
I’m your fall guy
I’m your fall guy

The travelling light behind the clouds
It follows me to tougher towns
And when I’m crushed it comes around
Sad and bright
The traveling light

I learn new things right after pain
The salty tears fall on the stain
I close my eyes, the room goes white
It’s here again
The travelling light

So I have felt it come and go
Why it returns no-one ever knows
What keeps you warm after a fight?
Welcome back the travelling light

Throw up my hands and it comes on
I think too hard, the light is gone
The crows have torn up every lawn
And they take flight
In travelling light

The dancehall is letting out
Empty bottles of tender vows
Arm in arm we leave the night
Kissing in the travelling light

Got me dressed, not the best, got problems to solve
I know to smile once in a while and then dissolve
Walk the halls, white walls, lights are on
Walk the halls, white walls, music’s gone

My mind, my mind’s on other things (sing, sing)
My mind, my mind’s on other things

I can’t eat and I won’t sleep ‘cause I don’t know who
Fight or flight, I wish I might and who are you?
Say a word, make a sound just to see
Say a word, make a sound just for me

My mind, my mind’s on other things (sing, sing)
It don’t work, it don’t work like how you think (sing, sing)
I need time, I need time to work out the kinks (sing, sing)
My mind, my mind’s on other things

I can feel the glory and hear the crowd
Swinging my arms through coloured smoke oh
I’m landing on the beat
I’m always putting on a show

My mind, my mind’s on other things (sing, sing)
I need time, I need time to work out the kinks (sing, sing)
My mind, my mind’s on other things (sing, sing) …

I’m going through every summer run
through the woods and the smell of the pine and the sea
And you’re ahead of me
Saying words that are making me piss, making me piss my pants
And we’re crying and laughing
Singing it out
Sing, sing
Sing to me
Sing to me
What would you do if I sang out a tune?
Would you stand up?
Stand up
Sing to me

As long as you ask the right questions
And leave the others out
I have no fear of what will be
As long as you keep to the map
Don’t wander off through the tree
As long as you close your eyes and
Gently fall to your knees

Take medication
And off to dreamland
Separate vacations
Cause he’s a bad man
I see the light after my decline
The fairytale of heaven is fine
The fairytale of heaven is fine

When I was a magical kid
I had probable dreams
I kept Venus waiting
Mercury went between
Then the ceiling got lower so much
Then the ground was warm to the touch

Take medication
And off to dreamland
Separate vacations
Cause he’s a bad man
I see the light after my decline
The fairytale of heaven is fine
The fairytale of heaven is fine
The fairytale of heaven is fine

Scare the kids
Burn the bridge
Make sure they don’t lift the lid
Scare the kids
Burn the witch
Make sure they don’t flip the switch…

Green and dark and brooding, infinitely wide
Shouldn’t it be an ocean if you can’t see the other side?
Swallowing a meteor to cure the heartache
And for the name’s sake it’s a great lake
It’s a great lake

Walk among the stars
We salute you
Walk among the stars
It’s an endless future

Night and loud and limestone, stagecoach stops beside
Loading up the steamships where the troubadours reside
Then frozen in the winter moonlight blue white expanse
Hear the kick drum and from the distance your friends advance

Walk among the stars
We salute you
Walk among the stars
It’s an endless future

Steal important thoughts
Then at every station
The conversation reveals itself one word at a time
One word at a time, one word at a time
It all falls in line, falls in line

Across the water from the city
I listen to it hum
Quiet ambulance or seagull cry or kettle drum

At the magic hour what you try to capture in your memory is the colour
The way the edges are defined
All is cool, all falls in line
All falls in line and you walk

Walk among the stars
We salute you
Walk among the stars
It’s an endless future
Walk among the stars
Walk among the stars

I know I should laugh ‘cause when I’m around you that’s what I’ve always done
I rely on muscle memory when nothing else will run
There’s a window to the soul (you forgot my name)
That’s how I’m gonna roll (can you see we’re the same?)
Oh yes I can
you’re my main man
Can you tell me which way to go

I should know what to say
But I’m staring at a blank page
No read-out on display
And I’m staring at a blank page

Any dog is my dog and any tree is the tree I climbed when I was eight
It’s always the right time for another first time and no-one’s ever late (watch the clock)
I came with all my tools,
my wicked dance moves
and a lack of respect for the rules

I should know what to say
But I’m staring at a blank page
I should know what to say
But I’m staring at a blank page
La la la la la la
But I’m staring at a blank page
You see what I did there
‘cause I’m staring at a blank page

I take it from the source these words
I will not be a spoon fed bird

Fresh cut grass and the sound of a duck’s wings beating on the pond (Oh now you got it)
Orange sunshine through my eyelids creating the great beyond

Oh!
You asked me my address (but I’m staring at a blank page)
The numbers were all,
The numbers were all a mess (I ain’t staring at a blank page)
Well I guess I failed the test (I ain’t staring at a blank page)
but the picture I drew,
the picture I drew was the best (I ain’t staring at a blank page)

Small bright yellow feather buried
Silent coalmine canary
Unwitting mercenary go oh
Goes into her shallow breathing
Glowing spirits here and leaving
Oh oh oh oh

Dark rainbow will you know
Where light is old
Dark rainbow you will know
Why love is gold

In the now I am the eagle
‘Member when I shot a seagull?
Bored so I go break the legal code oh
Out of nothing better for me
Subject for your documentary
Oh oh oh oh

Dark rainbow will you know
Where light is old
Dark rainbow we will know
Why love is gold

A musician named Alo Mattiisen
Used the words of poet Jüri Leesment one day
“No Land Is Alone” was what one song had in it
It came true and thousands used the words to rally spirits

We sing at dawn (revolution revolution)
Voices on the move (revolution singing)
Illegal songs (revolution revolution)
That’s gonna be our groove (revolution singing)

Haralds Mednis conducted beautifully
An orchestra played a piece called “Gaismas pils”
Authorities then took Haralds off the program
But it was too late and the song escaped to freedom

We sing at dawn (revolution revolution)
Voices on the move (revolution singing)
Illegal songs (revolution revolution)
That’s gonna be our groove (revolution singing)

Bernardas Brazdžionis wrote poems people loved
Pop singers put a few to music
Thousands gathered at the “Rock March Festival” and then
They had a giant voice and they used it

Your name here please American songwriter
Your name here please American songwriter
Write a song that everyone will sing
Write a song that everyone will sing
Write a song that everyone will sing
And we’ll all sing together
Write a song that everyone will sing
And we’ll all sing together

Revolution revolution
Revolution singing
Revolution revolution
Revolution singing

I won’t call you
I won’t
I won’t lift my head
I sleep
Blue glow
Did you get the message
Did you get the message
Did you get the message yet

(Twenty five, twenty five)
Yes yes yes
(Twenty five)
Twenty five, twenty five words or less

My thumbs call you
My thumbs
My thumbs write and red
My eyes they flip around
Did I get the message
Did I get the message
Did I get the message yet

(Twenty five, twenty five)
Yes yes yes
(Twenty five)
Twenty five, twenty five words or less

(Twenty five)
Words words
(Twenty five) words or less

Come on

Before you think it out
Before you think it out
Come on just say it
Say it
Before you mean it
Before you mean it
Come on come on come on
It’s forever
It’s forever forever forever
Forever forever forever

I bought all my friends in this bar
I guess most of them work for me
I’d hazard a guess that yes
Some may be enemies

I guess I’m a happy guy
I cry but I don’t know why
Must be joy ‘cause I am king
And winning is everything

Benzodiazepine, wash out my memories of jail
Paid back society
At 3:00 another cheque comes in the mail

I’m buying myself a new shield
For the white collar battlefield
Where folks will come to kiss the ring
And winning is everything

Speak loudly and own the nation
Whisper words of “illiteration"
Where no wisdom can be found
The conquered must love the sound
All the whales in captivity
The Vegas version of fancy free
It seems like beauty to me
It seems like beauty to me

The stake through my heart driven by the men
Who once built my seaside home
Where I eat alone, won’t atone
My golf course is overgrown
Asleep in my supercar
I dream of my days in the stars
Exhaust in my lungs, angels sing
And winning is everything

winning is everything

Love goes to buildings on fire so it flies to you
You sleep as the smoke curls around you and soldiers salute
You’re the front man we all need
Your heart is true
We shrink the spaceship and climb in cause
We are your crew

We can reach you
We can reach you somehow in a dream
You’re watching TV snow
We’re sending in a team

Down the river of imagination fuelled by the beer
Through the whole the room follow the music and tune out the fear
Lost to us on the outside but never lost within
Set a course for the heart of hearts
And let the games begin

We can reach you
We can reach you somehow in a dream
You’re watching TV snow
We’re sending in a team

So tell the nightmare clouds to part
And beam us down, beam us down
When we land with you on the sand
We’ll swim out and look at the clouds

Make me laugh at the saddest part, get me in trouble too
Red lipstick and you smile at her, she throws her arms around you, throws her arms around you
The rest of us are at the party blowing up balloons
Past the white wall you hear the band playing
“Whole of the Moon”


We can reach you
We can reach you somehow in a dream
You’re watching TV snow
We’re sending in a team
Somehow in a dream
Somehow in a dream
Somehow in a dream
