Architecture
03:57

All the gifts that wise men bring you may return them
Dancing on the shoulders of an old man’s head
Rearrange your monuments before they burn them
And put your architecture back to bed.
Analyze and instigate but don’t you worry
The traffic jam is just another mile ahead
Yesterday your god advised you not to bury
The undiscovered, plastic alphabet.
Calculate the cost of every cross-eyed archer
Aiming at the parchment that designed your soul
Yesterday the altar boy declined to barter
A slice of sorrow for electric gold.
Gestures made to the blind
In a space they will never find
Always one step behind
Savagely sublime.

Simplicity of Chance
03:18
|

|
The silence of your glance
Like a clandestine dance
In the tissue of my overheated mind
I receive it without warning
Like laughter
Or like yawning
And accept it
The simplicity of chance.
I know I cannot keep you
Cannot control nor deceive you
The immediate is never true or false
Just a secret celebration
No rewards no obligations
I affirm it
The simplicity of chance.
Like shimmering star
She glows in the distance
Surrounded by secrets
Drenched in white lies
With a wink of her eye
She breaks my resistance
Tenderly fleeting
Disarming delight.

Reclaim Myself
02:16
|

So there's nothing left to say
And you will go your way
I'll reclaim myself from you.
And no one ever will return
Something borrowed something learned
The things you taught me never did reveal
A fracture in the wheel
I'll reclaim myself from you
I will go my way without you.
A selfless singer has no reason to believe
The folly and the promises that help us to deceive
Ourselves and all the people that we thought would never leave
But someone wrote a song just to belong
A shadow of a song
It is gone, it is gone.
So there's nothing left to do
You and I we're through
I'll reclaim myself from you.

Alibi
04:42

Well, I was looking for an alibi
In the sheltering warmth of your thigh
But you shrugged me off with such a casual sigh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
So with a well-feigned lisp
I imperceptibly whispered
Show me your secret supply
But you saw through the mask
And with one swig of your flask
You drank up the mackerel sky.
So I went underground
District line, west-bound
And waited til winter had passed
I re-emerged like a trend
To tie up some loose ends
With my Cuban-heeled friends and then laughed
At the music they played
To dispel the charade
The maestro had made for your sake
Well, I could never handle Händel
So I threw my worn out sandals
At the trumpets and at the triangles.
Well, I was looking for something new
At the imperious heels of your boots
But you tipped me off
With such and elegant clue
Adieu, adieu, adieu.
Well, I was looking for an alibi
In the sweltering heat of your thigh
But you shrugged me of with such a casual sigh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
That's what you told me
Gooodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
