Hooverphonic Album

You are my autoharp
I push every button on your body
I push the a minor, the e flat, the f major
And especially the c sharp 7
You are my autoharp
I play every string in your mind
And even when I play them very loud
They keep in tune
But how will they sound soon
You are my autoharp
I bought you in a pawnshop in virginia
You were cheap but in good condition
Longing for someone to take you on an exotic trip
You are my autoharp
I carried you all over the world
In my hard case called the heart
You're the reason for my blood to keep running
Through my veins every album again

Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
It's driving me insane
I can't fake
For god sakes why am I
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Are you the fishy wine that will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That'll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That it why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
So mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you

These gigantic waves just take me
To an unknown destination
Under the moonlight
Feel free to join me on my trip
The tide will take us far
Beyond midnight
Stars will guide us through this
Exotic white
Stars won't be able to fool the knowledge
Of the magic dice
This sea breeze is refreshing
While the dolphins sing about
These psychedelic moods
These waves keep you going
'Till you finally forget
Your original roots
Stars will guide us through this
Exotic white
Stars won't be able to fool the knowledge
Of the magic dice
Wave after wave

Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn't harden
Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She'd melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour
Salty days for jackie cane

Bought this guitar
At a shop called mars
But on the way back home
Strange things happened in my car
Started to play
All by itself
Creatures jumped from
The highest shelf
Until I touched string 12
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
It's strength was divine
Synthesized gnomes
Penetrated this godly zone
Summer was thrown off
It's royal thrown
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
It's strength was divine

I...like the things that you hate
And you...hate the things that I like
But it hurts
Honesty's your church
But sometimes
It's better to lie
I...am the vinegar and salt
And you...are the oil that dissolves
My frustration
Honesty's limitation
But sometimes
It's better to lie
I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves my frustrations
Limitations
But sometimes...
I don't dare to ask why

Johnny went to frosted flake
To go for a walk in the frozen wood
He bumped into a mushroom
That sold his body for some warm food
"Eat me my friend, you'll be the leader of the band"
Johnny's hand reached out
Luckily there was mr doubt
Mr doubt the old man was the surveyor
Of frosted flake wood
He tried to sell hesitation wherever he could
"Buy some doubt"
Feel free he yelled loud
"Friends it won't hurt"
Luckily there was big bird
For god's sake run away
Or it won't be your lucky day
Leave this forest behind
This ain't a place for human kind

Everybody wants one
Everybody's got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved
Everybody wants one
Everybody's got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved
Is it you who's going to guide me
Through this labyrinth of poems
Is it you that's going to make me
Gonna make me feel home
And every time we live together
We just die a bit more
So why don't we just stop
Oh let's just stop to adore
Why
Is it so hard
To make the right choice

Tell me why
Do you always forgive the things I do to you
You're too good
Or am I not too bad
Those six years
Were the best that ever happen to me and you
No regrets after all this fear
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me
Tell me why
I can't find satisfaction somewhere else
Not good enough
Or am I way too bad
Those six years
I consumed all your energy
And I didn't replace
Sad enough
I can't give you what you need
We'll always be best friends
Something between you and me
Six years
Such a long time
Can't give you what you need
Six years
Such a long time
Something special between you and me
You and me

Electro screens of light
And poppy-colored brights
I'm floating on air
Pink fluffy dinosaurs
Tremendously hardcore
I'm floating again
This fake fir place
Won't warm my soul nor face
But still I'm floating
Again
Hypnosis releases brakes
Make you do things you usually fake
It makes you float
Again
Those bitten by the wild
Will live on
But those who used to bite
Have gone
Golden mirror on the wall
Will make our lives less dull
We'll be floating through the day
All our money's almost gone
But still we live the life we want
We are floating through the day
Those bitten by the wild
Will live on
But those who used to bite
Have gone

Feel the need to wonder
Inside
Fulfill your basic needs
Deep inside
We wander by the lake of tears
And smell the odor of our fear
Inside
Deep inside
All these creepy things crawling
Deep inside
Feel the urge to grow
Inside
Our world is covered with clouds
Deep inside
We wander by our ocean of tears
We try to hide our frozen fear
Inside
Deep inside
All these creepy things crawling
Deep inside

Sweet relief calms me down
Makes me drown
Lost and found
Neighbours complain
Sheets are stained
Hotel shower
The best around

Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn't know
About these feelings we can't control

People they want us to fall down
But we won't ever
Touch the ground
'Cause we're perfectly balanced
We'll float around
'Til noone is near
Do you hear this sound

Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn't know
About these feelings we can't control

This strange feeling captures us
It generates this huge fuzz
I miss you all the time I must face
I miss your touch and your embrace

Accepting new ideas is hard
Holding on to the past
It's too easy can't you see
We've got to move on

Our world is constantly speeding
The stars are still intriguing
The tears in our eyes
Feed happiness for the next miles

These visions make us desperate
Give us hope
The end is always the start of a
New episode
Feel free to interact with the plot
The choice can really mean a lot
Just try to translate this secret code

These prophecies are frightening
Evoke artificial lightning
Watch out cause it can strike you
The remedy is inside you

These visions make us desperate
Give us hope
The end is always the start of a
New episode feel free to interact with the plot
The choice can really mean a lot
Just try to translate this secret code

These visions make us desperate
Give us hope
The end is always the start of a
New episode

Feel free to interact with the plot
Your choice can really mean a lot
Just try to
Just try to
Just try to translate this
