Spiritual Beggars Album

He's never been arrested once
In his life
Never received a letter from the law
Quite insane
Never felt the demon riding his back
He is safe from harm
Never got hallucinations after
Being too long on the booze
Logical thinking
Turns to Stupidity
Never had longer relations
With the female sex
Never been quite all alone
Poor little boy
Never had suicidal thoughts
Never quite understood
The true meaning of the word life

Cloudless sky is in my eyes
The sun has come out for air
My dog is sitting by my side
Watching me getting high
What a wonderful world
Looking with inner eyes
What a wonderful world
Nothing ever dies
Can you feel the taste of life
Or are you blinded by the clowns?
Shake the water and feed the sun
Oil the universal joint

Sedated every night
I had my wine and my joints
A couple of sleeping pills
Tears of tiredness dripping down
But after a while
I began to lose my song
After a while It wasn't fun no more
Sedated when morning comes
Sitting with a troubled head
Sedated but the sun don't shine
Await my suicide

She shone like the sun in those days
Whispered things into my head
Now I lie cold in my cell
Kissing pills to keep me sane

Angel of betrayal

Nowadays I choose to meditate
With a couple of drinks
Sitting on my sofa
Watching the dumb TV
Gin and Tonic rules
Blood on the floor
Burn marks from cigarettes
My throat pleads for more

Angel of betrayal

I tried to put my tongue into the cave
I prayed that I was insured
I tried to put my tongue into the cave


But she led my mind astray
Angel of betrayal

I ought to kill the bitch
To clean out my head
Letting off some steam
If you know what I mean
Gin and tonic rules
Blood on the floor
Burn marks and everything
Her soul leaves for home

Angel of betrayal

I tried to put my tongue into the cave
I prayed that I was insured
I tried to put my tongue into the cave
But she led my mind astray
Angel of betrayal

Loaded as the sun above
I dig myself
Drinking washes the gray away
It kissed my brain
Smoking makes me catch my breath
I feel alone
Now I feel my inner self
Incarnation of Christ
Now the lungs of the universe
Are the lungs of my soul
I can feel it
I can sense it
Hallelujah Bless my soul
Monday morning you enter hell
Not me I'm not a fool, no I'm not a whore
Haven't sold my soul
Monday morning I open a beer
And light a cigarr
Put my pen to paper and write I hate you all

Looking up from an icy spot
Praying for the re-birth of the sun
If everything would explode
Would you breathe in or out?
Bring me a dog or a loaded gun
I'm fed up with all the people around
Most of them are to me
Like crisp breadcrumbs in my bed
And all I can say to you Is to fly with the riddle
To touch the moon
All I can say to you is try!
Passive thinking, stuck in the game
Souls hide in infected cells
If everything would explode
Would they breathe in or out?
Stranded, deep in civilisation
People I thought were like myself
Have turned into what we all once said
We hated so much
And all I can say to you
Is that fly with the riddle
To touch the moon
All I can say to you
Is that I try

Let me sing for pleasure
Let me drink my treasure
Up to the mountain of faith
Hit me again
While you kiss your left brain
You oppress you right brain
Ice-pops up in your arse
You run with the flock
Our presence is a saga
A shore beyond
The horizon
Save Your Soul
When I read Bukowski
And when I read Martinus
I feel magic in my soul
Boiling me warm
Do you dream of freedom?
Or do the demons tell you?
There is nothing you can loose
If you run with the flock
I'm too cool
To be a fool

Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where I've been
I'm back in the hazy woods
I hear the mountains bark
Until the morning comes
I'll rest my head in my arms
Until the morning line I stay awake
I see no point in
Staying sane I sell my days to keep
My demons in control
I'm galloping towards death
I'm not apologising, not begging
When you reach knowledge
You will understand

He took me away
He showed me a way
The rivers where running too slow
The wizard said "This is your name
Eternal Gladiator, my friend"
Higher and higher and higher I fly
Escaping the circle of clowns
With magic wisdom
With magic eyes
I'm eating the stars and the Moons
I'm going home
And guess what?
I'm not dead
Yes, I'm going home
Freedom is the name of my soul
Faster and faster and faster
I speed I'm beating the light
With my eyes I find thousands of universes
Inside every single atom

On dark rivers we float
Never to meet the releasing sea
Our souls hide
Deep inside our bodies
We got to feed our dreams
Nurse our dreams
Sounds of words that are spoken
Merely flirting with the truth
But we never find it
Never can we put the finger on it
Under a bad moon
We try to figure out
Which way to fall In this masquerading boat
You've got to wonder
Why most of us
Choose to stay

Said she's from another world
I said, "I know what you mean"
I gave her a little more red wine
Our dreams came up for air
Messengers from beyond
Future plans and history
I caught a little cloud
My semen took off
Yeah Baby!
You make me high, make me fly
Make me king of life
You shake the earth, shake the dirt
And we dance into the sun
Sacred words appear
Questions solved and we are gods
The goddess is for real

I've been down so long
Nothing ever changes
No matter how much I try
Got neighbours in my head
They're constantly arguing
About each step I take
My hands move like rattlesnakes
And my fingers fumble
Like they've just been invented
I bleed through the faking truth
I don't understand
All you fools
I keep drinking wine
Alone in the dark
You know the last drink
Is always the saddest
I have enough pills
To take me home
'Cos this neighbour's song is doing it too slow

Talk Into the blind zone - hiding
Cold as the moon now - freezing
We live in the shadows - with blindfolds
We die in the shadows - regretting
We didn't take the chance
Into the blind zone - bleeding
Cold as the moon now - we are freezing
While fire burns away
Take a trip into your magic soul
You'll find you've lived a thousand times
Let the magic talk and ride away
With no feeling of doubt into the sun
Gaze into the centre of yourself
Left brain people never find this path
They stand there wondering
How anyone can be so naive
To search with
Over and over
Breathe magic rhythm
Gaze into the centre of your dream
Fell the magic rhythm take you away
Let the magic talk and ride away
With no feeling of doubt into the sun
Over and over
Breathe magic rhythm
Over and over
Let the magic talk

I bled through our time
All her lies
She drove me insane
Now I'm back in my shoes
And I ain't singing the blues no more
Do you remember me baby?
Down by the river of fear
Recall you said you would
Always love me
Down by the river
I stand with my gun
I'm gonna shoot you down
It's over for you
You stole my pride
And you stole my self-esteem
I fled into insanity
And I knocked on the doors of death
