Summer 04:38
lyrics
Summer, you are waiting for your summer you're waiting for the sunburns to lick on your skin running, you dry your tears and running you stop your ears and run on to listen to your beat Summer, you are waiting for your summer like scratches on your knees hammer, with all your strength you hammer at the gates of the heavens until your finger bleed over the cherry field and over you run until dawn and your ghost fall asleeo summer, you really need the summer like lilies need the bees and if it's all too easy why all i do is run while the sun tries to kiss me? and if i'd take a star all would look so far but all in all we are we are powder just like star and when the summer comes to set the sky on fire and dry the weary hearts …all i do is run!

Peter Pan Syndrome 03:19
lyrics
Friend! I've kept the corks to build a raft without a map without a flag you told me always to be “clear” now i'm so clean that i cry soapball tears flat like an ol electric eel too boring to bore,too scared to fear the moon is just a cheeky skull and everynight it says the same: “you are the same! You are the same!” You! You dig up the seeds that i've spread and hide dried flowers in your hat help me, my friend,to camouflage my peter pan syndrome advanced state rose-scented days glue-flavoured nights so terrified to split one's sides when the wild beast will be tamed the cheeky moon repeats the same: “you are the same! You are the same!” Into the bottle for a day i'm waiting for tomorrow i'm waiting for the final round to perceive the ultrasound and start the haunt i'm waiting for the night the moon will close for ever.

Invisible 03:16
lyrics
Invisible I wish i was invisible And feign to be the wind ...and slam the doors Whenever you stay home alone And blow away The farewell letters Cause i can't believe! ...i can't believe! But i'm triyng Unremarkable Just another roll of flaws A birthday cake Without candles ...but i'm the wind That breaks off the cross I'm the wind And finally i scream! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! I can't believe! ...but i'm triyng And i don't mind where and why ...i'm triyng And i don't care what i'm praying I'm a liar! ...but i'm invisible Please! Please! Let me believe this

Powder On The Words 03:05
lyrics
I've learned to memorize better The days we say "it does'nt matter" But now the powder hides the final of the words We spend too much time hoping To find again the will to hope But now the powder hides the final of the words Will roses blossom through the cinder The teachers will be pupils again If just the weather takes the powder off the words ...and all the secrets i have always blessed I swear i try to pledge myself to not forget But now the powder hides the final of the words ...the powder hides the final of words ...what does it matter... Cause all in all it's just a pile of words! You move the water Like a floater As a fish that swims around Under the weather Find the shelter Like a bunny into the hat ...i'm a ship that runs aground! ... Wait for the purifier rain I'm on the snail's trail... The weight? The blame? Have you heard? ...never heard?

Celentano 04:00
lyrics
Before the flames of my desire set my memories on fire oh my friend! When the moon became a head shake my hand just once again la la li la la la la push the fingers on my heart! And at the grand feast of the heaven we will come together singing “yuppi du” Hengie, Frankie, me and you… and Mrs Macabrette too la la li la la la la and all the fellows of bad luck! When all the central station prostitutes will leave the slums direction-hollywood entire woods will be uprooted tree by tree and root by root la la li la la la la just a glass eye beats the time But all my friends come from the city and neverthless, I got more enemies under a rain of frogs and toads anyway umbrellas won't protect us from sin! oh! drive away from here! a thousand million diluviums satellites and bombs dinosaurs' bones telvision queen arranged marriage king climb the magic bean a thousand million diluviums satellites and bombs dinosaurs' bones television queen arranged marriage king climb the magic beans buzz away from my tears! my restless sea oh my sea! …my restless sea!

i had a girl made of plastic all my friends found her fantastic she looked so pretty and so real that all the district girls were envious of her skin i was so mad 'bout her that i bought her a ring and i was ready to ask her to marry me! we spent our evenings on the couch and we continued listening to "rubber soul" but just when everythings looked so fine something happened that upset our perfect life someone took away my future wife someone came and took away my bride i had a girl made of plastic all my friends found her fantastic at the time she was working in a store as chief manikin for designer clothes every evening i went to her back home every morning i took her back to the store but one day i arrived too late i was trapped in the traffic on the highway when i arrived at the store she was'nt there and the shutter was closed sometime after someone said they had seen her take a lift on a motor-vehicle with the writing "plastic recycle"!

Letter To Myself 04:25
lyrics
I write a letter to myself I write the words i'll never say I'll wear the best coat i have Before i sign my name The wonder in my eyes today Will be regret tonight I'm drunken by my mother's milk I'll smile at the mirror before i flee again Well! I drunk coffee all the night And i've already packed my bags ...i write a letter to myself and to my ghost I'll bury it underneath an oak The wonder in my eyes today Will be regret tonight I'm drunken by my mother's milk I'll smile at the mirror The teardrops in my eyes today Will be the same tomorrow But they'll never touch the ground Down down down down down down down down down Down to the bottom Quiet all around Stars became fireflies Heartbeat slows down ...and my name will be just a sound
9.
Ease Of The Beat 04:43
lyrics
C'mon! Look around nobody knows you're still here You could come out all at once and them scared Or maybe you'd remain where you are and pick on them Back home to watch tv and smoke hundreds of cigarettes ...today i'm gonna try to live just "a perfect day" Unbutton my shirt and varnish my nails Ease off the bit! Hey you! I'm here! Bent on my knees Washed by my tears Slack off to be Always in the mid ...ease off the bit!!! Someboby says it's all ok and everything is better Somebody else counts his fingers after a handshake Someboby preaches about the last mass extinction And says it's all the fault of 1968 The way to find your smile again Is to buy a new dentifrice and then... Even the tv and the president assures it's all ok They say: it's all ok! ....yeah! It's all ok! Believe in them! It's really easy talk from someone else's mouth You need to trample on the shit to say it smells! Ease off the bit! Hey you! I'm here! Bent on my knees Washed by my tears Slack off to be Always in the mid Ease off the bit...ease off the bit!!! Bigotry? ...somebody needs I'm wondering too easily Slack off to be Always in the mid Ease off the biiiiiiiiit!

Panic Attack # 1 04:19
lyrics
We came toward the sunset walking with quick steps on an electric road and we know that we must forget with the future on our back and the weight of the past the rings around our eyes are always getting more black the fears flow down through your trembling legs and the animal's instinct coming back when the body lies and your soul melts the polar winter comes into myself godless masters - sons of disaster winner - loser -preachers and boozers euphoria - sorrow - borrowed shapes and colors sugars - violence - the noise of the silence p a n i c a t t a c k ! The trees sing in the night the rain washes the mouth the truth behind a cloud the silence of the crowd.

Mrs. Macabrette 03:26
lyrics
She's mrs macabrette She paints the lamps with black She spreads crysanthenums on her steps Three black plumes on her hat Glass buttons on her breast The cypress bows down on her step She's mrs macabrette She makes love with the cats And talks only with herself Dead leaves patch up her dress The ivy climbs up her legs ...even the birdsong looks so sad! She burns the photographs Of her marriage To light another sigarette Where her tears fell one day Now grows the weeping willows Now cuts her lips instead So nobody will be able to snatch a smile from her

Elephant Man 02:32
lyrics
When the night comes the river kisses the ground the darkness can assist me wile the wind brings me your voice the grass withers without noise. The elephant runs haunted by the sun the heartbeat fill the silence and the silence fills the heart the show is going to start. The mirrors melt images entrapped the drunken nature wasn't able to keep it's secret a fault not requested i'm a masked romeo sound the bells! Wake the queen! ..morpheus gives his gift.

Bug Embrace 02:51
lyrics
Can i sleep On a water bed? ...so i will drown the dreams are bad Can i sleep In your arms? ...and cry until i will be worn I will blow On the mirrors To send melancony away From my face ...and i will clutch my arms to yours And my hands in yours Like a bug embrace Can i talk Without brakes? Go on until i loose my breathe Can i sit On your legs? ...ad i will clutch my arms to yours And my hands in yours Like a bug embrace ...and i don't mind If it happens only in my mind ...and i don't care If i scratch the wall with my nails If i take the night for the day And i will choke my face Like a bug embrace
