Tremble Like a Ghost

You and your ways are lonely
come out and set me free
if you don't start to tremble like a ghost
you'll never see the best of me
Don't start to think too far ahead
stop there and answer me
where were you back in 1925
when Pickwick Club collapsed on me
You and your ways are funny
come out and treat me right
if you don't start to tremble like a ghost
you'll never see the end of time
Don't start to think too far ahead
stop there and answer me
where have you been since 1944
when Lili put the soldiers to sleep
(solo)
You and your ways are lonely
come out and set me free
if you don't start to tremble like a ghost
you'll never see the end of me
Don't start to think too far ahead
stop there and answer me
where were you back in 1965
when Seeger tried to cut a tree
You and your ways are funny
come out and treat me right
if you don't start to tremble like a ghost
you'll never see the end of time
Don't start to think too far ahead
stop there and answer me
where have you been since 1984
an age we are still living in.

On piilossa viidakon
Suojassa temppelin raunion
Valtakunta viimeinen
Silmälasikäärmeiden
Vain viidakko tuntee sen
Illan tullen tanssimaan
Kobrat saapuu piiloistaan
Raunioilla kimaltelee kuu
Kobra vanhin valkoinen
Nousee pystyyn huojuen
Viidakosta soitto kantautuu
Niin piilossa viidakon
Marmoripaasilla raunion
Alkaa tanssi hiljainen
Silmälasikäärmeiden
Vain viidakko kuulee sen
(solo)
Kun kruununsa kultaisen
Kobrista vanhin, jo valkoinen
Kuuta kohti kohottaa
Uuden loisteen paadet saa
On aika nyt tullut sen
Vartijana aarteiden
Kobra vanha, valkoinen
Nähnyt on myös loiston palatsin
Mutta voimat viidankon
Voittaneet jo kiven on
Murenee jo pinta marmorin
On kobrien kuninkaan
Aika nyt luopua kruunustaan
Kobra vanha valkoinen
Tanssii kauas kadoten
Niin viidakko peittää sen
Niin viidakko peittää sen

You used to be Stevie Wonder (2x)
I was the meta vox
I pushed and pulled you through,
hard times in rising costs
You used to be Gene Vincent (2x)
I was the echo machine
Tape delay, sweetheart
We vibrated rock n'roll dreams
(solo)
You used to be hot kisses (2x)
I was just burning blood
I'll always remember you
darkly and salty and good
You used to be Stevie Wonder (3x)
something about the way you looked at me
You used to be Stevie Wonder

Branca de Neve

O meu caixão de vidro
tem um teto desigual
vibra sempre que lembro
o horário fatal
Quando comi a maçã
eram 3 da tarde
A noite chegou e eu fiquei
imobilizada
aqui congelada.
Este gelo que me arrefece
podia servir
para um cocktail
barato.
Onde é que ele anda
esse príncipe a cavalo
se ele se atrasar muito
nunca vou entrecruzá-lo
Fico aqui a dormir
para toda a eternidade
os anões vão chorar
e eu vou sonhar
a olhar
o céu estrelado
através do vidro
do meu caixão
como um paradoxo
de Zenão.

Ectoplasma
02:50
|
|||
|
Quando tínhamos os dentes claros
e passámos a noite em claro
em clara contradição
Vimos uma substância branca
a sair de um corpo estranho
em materialização
Era uma mistura de fluidos
procedentes de outros planos
de tempos vitorianos
em crises paranormais.
(solo)
No outro lado do hemisfério
havia um grande mistério
de causas sobrenaturais
Viu-se uma substância branca
a sair de seres humanos,
vegetais e animais
Toda a matéria esbranquiçada
foi sendo cristalizada
e nasceu um ritual
Dizem que nasceu a nova Era
do grande Ectoplasma
que veio salvar a Terra
e que dava sorte
e espantava a morte
e causou um arraial.

Amore 002

I was born out of an algorithm (algorithm)
I'm a function in your system
and I'm here to love
I'm Amore 002 (turututututu x 3)
I'm a product of artificial intelligence
I will love you
with sophisticated maths
type what you want
shop on the web
tell your desires
and I will meet you there
and then report you to my superiors
She was born out of an algorithm
and she's got lots of rhythm
and I'm here to love
I'm Amore 002 (tutututututu x 3)
My identity was given to me
on a student card from a London university
an Algorithm is unambiguous
it never fails, it's set to win
I will uncover your darkest secrets
through face recognition
automatic reasoning
this is my mission
I'm Amore 002

Human Failure
02:07
|

|
We're going out tonight
it will make you feel alright
I wrote a stupid song
to show you right from wrong
It's about the simplification
of our human nature
choose an old technology
combined with myths, big dreams and failures
It's alright
to forget
what is right
And all the times I've lost control
and tapped into my sorrows
that's what made me change inside
and find a shortcut for tomorrow
We arrived
in the inside
of the outside
of our minds.
Go

Revelation
02:58
|
|||
|
I've closed my eyes to look for something else
a tangible world of nothingness
Reveal yourself to me
The darkness hides
a secret key
to infinity.
I can't distinguish the colours of my dreams
nor tell the difference between day and night
The doctor says
My vision's fine
but my heart says
I'm colour blind.
I'm getting high with sunlight on my face
His vitamin helps me to embrace
A world of mistery
while the earth turns blue
and I find you.
(solo)
I died right after our story ended
And no one turned the page after my sleep
I'm stuck with gravity
Release the pain
of rushing in with no clarity.
Now I'm standing still while everything's moving
I guess it means it's all an illusion
Therefore we don't exist
Unless you see me
and hear my wish.

Sardine
03:44
|
|||
|
How far can I still go
when everything is still
it seems the past is here
a time warp told me so
You're acting like a star
who drinks and sings and shines
but no one knows what's next
the future's just a concept
(solo)
There used to be a time
when things were falling free
without any resistance
dancing with the wind
Was I only dreaming
you turned into a fish
and then you swam away
before I ate you grilled
Like a Portuguese sardine
with a jug of green wine and coffee
For 5 euros
There's no heroes

指折数えて あなたをまったら １０本の指じゃ
足りないとこまでくる このころ
いくつも 約束 重ねる だけなら あしたは違う だれかの 場面で キス
年上の あなたには わからない 平和な 夢だけじゃ つまんない みつかりそうで 見つからない ような危ない 夜をこえて
CUTIE PUSSYCAT 私 悪い子なのよ 退屈 させないで
CUTIE PUSSYCAT あなたの 白い背中に 爪を たてるわ
元気ないから 真昼にlove call 戸惑う あなたは 不機嫌な 手口を かえした
聞き耳立ててる マダムが見えるわ すれすれのところで、困らせたくなるの
誰にも内緒に してあげる そんなに 子供じゃないから 三つ目のボタンを はずしたら 綺麗な 嘘を ついて
CUTIE PUSSYCAT 私 悪い子なのよ 退屈 させないで
CUTIE PUSSYCAT あなたの 白い背中に 爪を たてるわ
CUTIE PUSSYCAT 私 悪い子なのよ 退屈 させないで
CUTIE PUSSYCAT あなたの 白い背中に 爪を たてるわ
CUTIE PUSSYCAT
CUTIE PUSSYCAT

Drown
01:58
|
|||
|
I drown each night
never losing sight
slipping through a wormhole.
The multiverse might just
be wide enough
to hold infinite shows.
How large is life
is there a knife
to cut through reality.
In the astral world
I search for gold
and find a rainbow within.
