Lay me down 02:33
There once was a maid With a birthmark on her face And when her boss was gone She took his bass and played a song About a place were she belong No more disgrace no more right or wrong No more domestic service feeling worthless Far away from any burden, that's for sure, and She sang Lay me down on the ground So can i feel the rain dripping on my face Lay me down on the ground So the soil will heal the wounds i feel I will do whatever against all odds Fuck your religion and your conservative thoughts Im on a mission from God cause he said Burn all my books, they were created by man

Big low 01:41
I don't know what I was thinking But I was going low. I don’t know what I was drinking But I was going low Low is a real high feeling Big low is what I’m meaning I am going low. I don’t know who did what to whom But it felt so low. And I don’t know who just kicked right through me But it hit me low. Low is a real high feeling Big low is what I’m meaning I am going low. Oh hoho I am going low BIG LOW !

Down by the riverbanks Up to the mountains Through the old oak forest There where i found him A small blossom tree appeared On the misty mountain The blossoms they were shining bright The day i found him Laylay Down by the riverbanks Up to the mountains Time it was passing by But nobody's counting I couldn't say goodbye On the misty mountains I did not speak and i did not cry The day i found him Laylay Do not bury him in the village As the mountains are his home Do not bury him in the churchyard As there is no way to roam Do not bury him

Add another flame to our forest Steal more corn from the barn Next year we won’t harvest We will be armed on the farm Take more fish out of the river Throw your waste into the sea When you’ll threat us we won’t shiver We will be armed, you’ll see
5.
Don’t ever tell me you worked hard for it Your right is an illusion, the brick doesn’t fit Don’t ever tell me there’s no way out We’ll throw the crops into the crowd! Take me home where there is no bothering, no telephone, no debt, no lottery The land gets fertile if we burn your house We’ll throw a party that no one would allow No feast without a feast within The lines get blurred, the wall is thin

The moon 03:38
I believe it when I see you shining so bright Your light gaze softly, on my eyes I know that this is the time, for us two I start my running, in direction of you And when I start to run, there’s a spell that’s holding me back and I can’t reach, but I’m sure, this time is the time I once said, that there’s nothing that’s worth to die for And now I’m the fool, in love with the moon ooooohooooohooooohoooohooooohoooooohoooooh Dancing with the stars and our mother earth Makes me smile and howl all through the search for you There are days when I forget all else in sight I’m running, I’m running, I’m running towards your light

Darkness 02:07
Another morning in tears I was deep into space-time In my rotten black holed eyes No sun will shine You said “ it will be romantic There’s beauty in darkness” No there is not! It will try to kill us It will kill my feelings And it will kill my light Extraterrestrial beings Will kill my appetite I will eat an apple I hope it will help I’m not a good example I will probably go to Hell You said “ it will be romantic There’s beauty in darkness” No there is not! It will try to kill us You said “ it will be romantic There’s beauty in darkness” No there is not! It will try to kill us It will try to kill us It will kill us

Run fox 02:44
So we know him for over a year now first he was a bit shy foxy legs and crossed eyes in the forest he just passed by Run fox Run fox, Gunshots Gunshots Run fox Run fox fox goes faster He was searching for some inspiration in the shimmering lights of the day walk in the shadows of the trees biting all the hunters on his way Our fox got home to get his flute to play them some magic tunes tunes that only fox can hear fox knows no fear
9.
Mermaid song 04:02
We found ourselves on the bottom of the sea An empty place, no sunlight and no trees We lived together with the deep sea community We had breakfast with a pelican eel And swam together to places so unreal Sing along with the mermaid song down in the deep sea waters Out of the gutter and down in the water to the mermaid headquarters There is no place showing affinity to the deep sea underground So keep your mermaid fin twirled and sing along with the mermaid song sing along with the mermaid song sing along with the mermaid song hey hey hey.

The road 04:30
Dark desert island, endless blue sea Rocky volcano, the cry of banshee Moonlight and campfire, dark starry night I guess this the road but i'll be doing all right I sang: oohooohoo when you're out on the road Bamboo skirt shaking, it's shaking the ass Turtles are dreaming of a long lived past I am going down, down to my soul I guess this is an adventure, life's rock and roll Peacocks are screaming, they're mad in their minds O it's going down on jaguars roaring time. Music is rambling into my brain I guess this is adventure but i'm going insane The sand it is bolling, it's eating my toes Jesus it's hot I can feel it in my bowels The cook , is just shouting this boy is good I'll guess I'll be eaten, but I hope I'll taste good This story has no moral, but one thing is fine Travelling is good for heart, soul and mind And there's no beginning, there's just no end Just a few words about the road my friend.
