"Keeper Of The Flame"

"Keeper Of The Flame"



Mother mother, gotta understand
That mother mother we've got murder on our hands
Your sons and your daughters
Rapin' each other on the steps of a church
They no longer depend on

The cry of a wolf in a lightnin' storm
The scream of a hawk, anxious to get airborne
The fear of a mouse, crawlin' out of a hole
Just a few of many stories, waitin' to be told

Hungry for good
No boogie in the scheme
And baby, the sky will never be the same
From many miles away I came
From where the gods smile upon you and play, yeah yeah
Your job may be no good, it's just a passing thing
The universe will always change
And I happen to carry a name
I am, I am, the keeper of the flame

A message carved into an arm with a shark tooth
Ever so delicate, ever so smooth
The truth is only waitin' and it stabs a deeper wound
Than all the lies you vagabonds have whispered over you

Hey hey hey, look out for the drifter on a train
Hey hey hey, look out for a showdown in the rain
With the keeper of the flame

Gather all you hunters, and gather all you prey
Listen to what the wind and the trees have got to say
To all you marble statues and you bricks of clay
Blow you all to kingdom come on your judgment day

Hungry for good
No boogie in the scheme
And baby the sky will never be the same
From many miles away I came
From where the Gods smile upon you and play, yeah
Your job may be no good, it's just a passing thing
The universe will always change
And I happen to carry a name
I am, I am, the keeper of the flame

"Kill Me (Ce Soir)"

"Kill Me (Ce Soir)"



Remember that song called "Kill me"
From Vick Timm's last LP
Too much of a risk
For a golden disc
The price he paid for money

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
Sing your song,
You can't go wrong
Attempted his business adviser
No need for alarm
You'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star

The news is read, the meaning spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie, bonne nuit

Remember that song called "Kill Me"
A lecture on political chicanery
Of people's rape
Recorded on tape
Bought shame to the presidency

Tonight, tonight
One more point for human right
Remember that song "Kill Me"
Once used by a man from Galilee
He had nothin' to lose
He was king of the Jews
Secured his place in history

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un provocateur
The news is read, the voice is spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie
Vick played the part,
With all his heart
He wasn't prepared for the shock
When howling lead
Bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star

"Kingfisher"

"Kingfisher"


Kingfisher's eyes shine as black as coal
On the edge of the morning
Gaze at me from across the room
The candle light....dying

Music it sounds like a waterfall
Makes you feel like you're drowning
Kingfisher's eyes, you're like black pearl
SWatchin' the ghosts, surround me

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark

Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

The Vagabond outside he knows
The medicine don't work no more
The hurricane inside my head
Is nailing me to the floor

Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard

Picking up the pieces now
Wipe the sweat from off my brow
By the cool light of the moon
Chase the ghosts out from my room
By the cool light of the moon
Kingfisher between me and you [2x]

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

The Candy Man's at the door again
Ringing the bell, I won't let him in
There's a storm a-raging inside my brain
Playing tricks with me in the dark

Don't believe a single word
That your ears have ever heard

Dragon, demon, goblin, gorgon,
Savage-ly tryin' to drag me down!!

Kingfisher's eyes shine as black as coal
On the edge of the morning
Gaze at me from across the room
The candle light....dying

"Landing"

"Landing"



When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
And escape

Yesterday I felt it
And the first thing I thought
Never let go
I held it as close as I could
When it didn't grow like it should
And then, after hours, I opened my head
I found myself back on the floor near my bed
Nothing has changed, it was all the same again
The same again

When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
But you can't escape

"Last Blast Of The Century"

"Last Blast Of The Century"



It's the last blast, it's the the last blast of the century
The last blast, it's the last blast of the century
This is the last time
Get to hold you in my arms
This is the last time
You get to kiss this lips of mine
This is the beginning and not the end
We're sailing together over the edge
Holding each other's hands
This is real life, riding the misty train
The pleasure and the pain
This is truth, no make believe
Love is a friend and hate the enemy

Last blast, it's the last blast of the century
The last blast, it's the last blast of the century
This is the last time
Get to kiss your lips again
This is the last time
Get to hold you in my arms
This is the beginning, and not the end
We're sailing together over the edge
Holding each other's hands
This is real life, riding the misty train
The pleasure and the pain
This is truth, no make believe
Love is a friend and hate the enemy

It's the last blast, the last blast of the century
The last blast, it's the last blast of the century

"Last Of The Mohicans"

"Last Of The Mohicans"



The old man told me
And he told me good
The old man taught me
Every trick in the book
And when he expired
In a whispered groan
He said, go crush the empire
Operate alone

'Cause you're the last of the Mohicans
You're the last of the killer tribe
You better find the man who runs it
The man who's gonna set this world on fire
Behind a wall of titanium
You gotta tear it down stone by stone
Stone by stone

In the middle of the evening
In the middle of the night
I'll come a prowlin'
I can smell his hide
Looks like a vampire
In broad daylight
So I pull the trigger
Put an end to the fight

'Cause I'm the last of the Mohicans
I'm the last of the killer tribe
I'm gonna start, start multiplying
Like a fast eagle in disguise
I won't help you none
Redskin is about to track you down
Our disguise protect you no
From the last flash of indigo
Here we go

"Latin Lightnin'"

"Latin Lightnin'"



Latin lightning strikes again
Wilder than a hurricane
He's counting on the dollars of you wealthy mothers
Look at that gigolo go

He's a devil, no pity, no shame
I'm a gonna get his picture framed
When he takes the stage it's frightening
Latin lightnin'
Spinnin' a cyclone man alive and a kicking
High heel machine gun rap arriba, faster, faster
You'll be in a daze all night just watchin'
Latin lightnin'

When Latin lightnin' falls in love
Everybody knows what he's dreamin' of
Casino's, chateaus, Havana cigars
Private jets and flashy cars

He's ruthless, the ladies claim
I'm a gonna get his picture framed

When he takes the stage it's frightening
Latin lightnin'
Spinnin' a cyclone man alive and a kicking
High heel machine gun rap arriba, faster faster
You'll be in a daze all night just watchin'
Watchin' for a Latin lightnin'

"Leather"

"Leather"



Love at first sight, lasts all night
Baby from the moment you open my fly
It's been alright, for my gesundheit
And baby from the moment you cross my eye
Here it comes, here it comes
I don't know where to go, it's a sadomasochism

Sharper than a razor she hurts me with a laser-beam
Medieval server, she do me no favour in between
She stole, she stole my hard-earned money

I got the straps on, you're having your fun
Baby from the moment you beat my drum
It's been alright, for my gesundheit
Baby from the moment you open my eye
Here it comes, here it comes
I don't know where to go, it's a sadomasochism

Sharper than a razor she hurts me with a laser-beam
Medieval server, she do me no favour in between
She stole, she stole my dignity

Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together

"Legalize Telepathy"

"Legalize Telepathy"



You cook my brain in your favorite pot
You fry my eggs till they're sizzlin' hot
You like to give it everything you got
And everything's for free, everything's for free

Make all the girls at the beauty parlor
Jump up and down and scream and holler
Just like a lapdog on a leash with a collar
That's what you're makin' me
That's what you make outta me

I ain't no professor, I ain't got no degree
But I sure as hell know how to read
The little notes you keep sendin'
The bottom line always gets to me
What do you mean?

Legalize, legalize, legalize telepathy
Legalize, legalize, legalize telepathy

You always go where I wanna be goin'
You always know what I wanna be knowin'
You always do what I wanna be doin'
Now ain't that telepathy, with a capital E.S.P.?

"Liquid Soul"

"Liquid Soul"



Went down to the liquor store
I had enough, but I needed more
Give me a six-pack
I got money, I got cash yeah

Take my life, break the seal
Take my knife, cut the waitin'
Say the word, no hesitatin'
Can't you see that I'm hungry

Been a dirty liar, a cold hearted diplomat
And now I keep on tryin', tryin' hard to forget
I used to be a coward, no Clark Gable
No sticks of dynamite, no funky fire sign
This river is runnin' dry, you'll never capture
It's Liquid Soul

Daylight, I'm angry
Lonely, but I've found
Somethin' solid gold
On this endless road
I, like the glow
When the fire turns to coal

And I see your mystery
Send me on my way
Sometimes I wander, sometimes I leave for good
Livin' up my fantasy, livin' in a world like you
She ask me do you love me, answer: I don't know
She ask me do you love me,
Yes I love you girl
Givin' up my freedom, givin' up my fantasy
I'm givin' uuup

Go go - go go - go go

Sometimes I'm prisoner, sometimes I feel free
I'm livin' up, livin' up, livin' up my fantasy
Already know the answer, information plain to see
Through the muddy waters

No sticks of dynamite, no need for sacrifice
This river ain't runnin' dry, you'll never capture
It's Liquid Soul
