Deathbed.
I’m a broken man
I’m not half the one
I use to be
But do not change
Your plans for me
When a bird breaks his wings
The other ones still fly free
I’m a broken dream
I’m like a mirror
Scattered on the floor
And I cut my feet
Cause I walk on a path
That is not mine anymore
Demons and spirits are
Dancing all around my bed
I hope for the spring
I hope that soon
I will play with my friends
Please don’t leave me here
Don’t leave me alone in my head
Everyone is welcome
To make love
On my deathbed
On my deathbed
Yes I’m a broken man
I’m not half the land
I use to be
So do not waste
Your seeds on me
Cause I am not gonna
Feed the hopes of nobody
Demons and spirits are
Dancing all around my bed
I hope for the spring
I hope that soon
I will play with my friends
Please don’t leave me here
Don’t leave me alone in my head
Everyone is welcome
To make love
On my deathbed
On my Death bed

Strawberries.
Another night has come
And I haven’t changed the world
How about you?
How about you?
Strawberries will
Always grow into the fields
But will I do?
Will I do?
Look at me
Give me your smiles
Notice that I’ve just arrived
I want to live
In your eyes
And tell the world
That I cannot die
Now take my soul
And give me gold
But make it fast
Before I get old
I cannot walk into the sea
But drink my words
If it makes you feel free
We all run and run
As fast as we can
To become someone
Another night has come
And I haven’t changed the world
How about you?
How about you?
Strawberries will
Always grow into the fields
But will I do?
Will I do?
Write me a song
And drug my brain
It won’t last long
But it calms the pain
Get me on a plane
To somewhere else
Find me a girl
Who don’t know my name
To eat me up
To love me hard
And to throw me away
The day I get cold
In my mind
You’re beautiful
But all the lies
Live in my mind
We all run and run
As fast we can
To become someone
Another night has come
And I haven’t changed the world
How about you?
How about you?
Strawberries will
Always grow into the fields
But will I do?
Will I do?

Where are you now

Where are you now
What would I give
To get back on that beach with you
The wind blowing in your hair
And the salt on your tanned skin
We would have spent day’s
Just staring at the clouds
We were building up our dreams
How will we stop the poor to starve
And how will we sing in front of the Queen
But where are you now
I Just close my eyes
And now I have to sing alone
Where are you now
Just a few bad words and now
You are far gone
Do you remember how we laughed
During that ride on that rotten bike
We were trying to avoid the crabs
Who were crossing the road that night
We were like one only soul
Traveling around the globe
Making love on every boat
And you were dancing all the time
Without your clothes
But where are you now
I Just close my eyes
And now I have to sing alone
Where are you now
Just a few bad words and now
You are far gone

Perfume.
I’m grateful that
You’ve let me know
The perfume
Of your roses
I’m amazed at how
They have learned to grow
In a swamp that has
Only known the darkness
While dogs are fighting
In the streets of the cities
And that strangers are fucking
Like puppets in a hurry
You know, you know
You can count on me
Everything feels better after
The clouds have exploded
Scream out all your pain
And let the kid
Break all his toys
You will never run fast enough
To silence your demons off
But the sun will shine
Even for you
You do remember
The perfume of the gasoline
In the back box
Of that pickup truck
Now don't be shy of what
The crickets have seen
They will keep their mouth shut
While the beliefs of a man
Is enough to have him killed
And that children are drugged
To keep calm instead of playing
You know, you know
You can count on me
Everything feels better after
The clouds have exploded
Scream out all your pain
And let the kid
Break all his toys
You will never run fast enough
To silence your demons off
But the sun will shine
Even for you
While the lies infect the minds
Of brothers and make them fight
And that women are sold
And we are deaf to hear their cries
You know, you know
You can count on me
