Track Name: MEXICO CITY RAIN
TO THE DREAMS OF PASSING COMETS
OF ALL MISTERIES UNSOLVED
TO THE BEARING OF A COMPASS
THAT IS SPINNING ON THE GROUND
THEY WILL GUIDE US THROUGH THE PITS
OF THEIR ELLUSIVE POLITICS
THEY WILL PAWN OUR INDEPENDENCE
TO GET STONED

AND OUR PAST IS WELL PRESERVED
IN OUR COLLECTIVE INTELECT
AND WE THINK WE DONT DISERVE
WHAT OUR FUTURE HAS PREPARED
ITS A RACE BUT NO ONE IS RUNNING
ITS A WAR WE WILL NOT FIGHT
WE WILL STAND UPONG OUR DORWAY
STARING BLACK INTO THE NIGHT

BUT WE’LL NEVER SEE TOMORROW
IN THE MEXICO CITY RAIN

WHEN THE PROUD WENT TO THE STABLES
THEY WERE SLAUGHTERED BY THE PIGS
THEY CAME BACK WITH COATS AND TIES
WITH THEIR RUSTY ARMS THEY SIGNED
AN AGREEMENTE WITH THE MONGRELS
TO BUILD THEIR CASTLES ON YOUR LAWN
NOW THEYRE BUILDING UP A WALL AROUND YOUR HOME

BUT THEY’LL NEVER SEE TOMORROW
IN THE MEXICO CITY RAIN

NOW YOUR WAITRESES ARE WAITING
BUT YOUR SERVANTS ARE ALL GONE
THEY SLIPED THROUGH THE CRACKS OF MIDLE CLASS
THEY ARE ALL HEADING UP NORTH
TO THEIRS HOPES IN CLOUDS OF OPIUM
THROUGH A LONESOME DESERT STORM
BUT YOU KNOW IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE
THEY PUT THEM ON A BUS AND SEND THEM HOME

AND THEY’LL NEVER SEE TOMORROW
IN THE MEXICO CITY RAIN

WHEN IT ALL STARTED TO CRUMBLE
IT IS REALLY HARD TO SAY
BUT THE DUST ON EVERY GAMBLER
AND THE PICTURES ON HIS WALL
THEY REVEAL THE LITLE SECRETS
OF THE METHOD IN HIS GAME
AND TONIGHT WELL BE THE GAMBLERS
IN OUR LITTLE MASCARADE
AND TONIGHT WELL SEE THE FIREWORKS AGAIN

BUT WELL NEVER SEE TOMORROW
IN THE MEXICO CITY RAIN
Track Name: SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOUR GONE
I DONT CARE IF YOU TELL ME
THAT YOUR LEAVING ME TOMORROW
IT DOESNT BOTHER ME AT ALL
TO SEE YOU WALKING OUT THE DOOR

YOU WERE ONLY HERE FOR SHELTER
IT WASNT LOVE THAT YOU WERE AFTER
IFELT IT WHEN YOU CAME A ‘KNOCKING
ILL KNOW IT NOW THAT YOULL BE GONE

IWOULD HAVE WALKED INSIDE A THOUSAND GRAVE YARDS
SEARCHING FOR YOUR LONELY SOUL
I WOULD HAVE SWALLOWED EVERY PILL YOU GAVE ME
BUT NOW YOURE LEAVING
AND ILL BE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOURE GONE

DONT GO TELLING ALL YOUR FRIENDS
YOU LEFT ME FOR SOMEBODY ELSE
YOURE NOT LOOKING FOR ANOTHER
YOURE ONLY SEARCHING FOR YOURSELF

I THINK YOURE NOT MATURE ENOUGH
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT LIFES ABOUT

I WOULD HAVE DROWNED INSIDE YOURE SEA OF MADNESS
JUST TO SEE YOU SMILE AGAIN
I WOULD HAVE SWALLOWED EVERY PILL YOU GAVE ME
AND STILL YOU’D LEAVE ME
SO ILL BE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOURE GONE

I WOULD HAVE AIMED A LITTLE HIGHER BABY
IF I HAD KNOWN HOW LOW YOU ‘D GO
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT TWICE MY BABY
BUT NOW YOURE LEAVING
AND ILL BE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOURE GONE
Track Name: AMERAK BLUES
1,2,3, YOU CAN NOT FIND ME
I AM HIDING IN THE LABRYNTHS O F MY MIND
COME AND GET ME IF YOU DARE
STEP IN TO MY DOMINIONS IN THE NIGHT

YOU CAN BREAK MY BONES
WITH YOUR STICKS AND STONES
BUT I WILL NOT BE AFRAID ANYMORE

CALLING NAMES WONT MAKE ME CHANGE
I WILL ALWAYS KNOW WHO I AM
I COULD LEARN TO PLAY YOUR GAME
I COULD HURT YOU BUT I WONT BE THAT WAY

YOU CAN PUSH AND FIGHT BUT I WONT
STEP ASIDE
YOU CAN HURT ME BUT I WONT STEP ASIDE
Track Name: SONS UPON MY DEATH BED...
SONS UPON MY DEATH BED
WAKE YOURE MOTHER LET HER KNOW THIS TIME
THE CLOCKS ARE WINDING DOWN
TELL HER I ADORE HER , TIE HER TEARS IN RIBBONS TO MY
HEART AND LET US BID FARWELL

ONCE UPON YOU USED TO CALL
STAY WITH US INTO THE NIGHT AND NOW
ITS ME THAT BECKONS YOU
STAND AT MY BED POST
KEEP AWAY THE FOUR EYED GHOST OF PAST REGRETS AND SIMPLE TRUTHS

YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO LIVE AGAIN
THAT SPIT IS USLESS IN THE RAIN
THAT TENDERNESS CAN TEAR YOUR HEART
YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME WELL

IVE GOT NO ANSWERS
I CAN ONLY SHARE MY THOUGHTS AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN
HELP YOU THROUGH
NOW THAT YOUR OLDER
SET YOUR EYES BEYOND YOURE MASTER
KNOW YOU WERE MY MASTERS TO

YOU TAGHT ME HOW TO LIVE AGAIN
TO GIVE EXPECTING NO RETURN
TO ALWAYS WAKE UP WITH A SMILE
YOU HAVE TAGHT ME WELL

SONS UPON MY DEATH BED
CLOSE THE DOOR ON DRENCHING SORROW
TURN INTO THE BRIGHT NEW DAY
YOURE FINEST HOUR WAITS FOR YOU IM SAD
TO SAY I WONT BE WALKING THERE WITH YOU


YOU TAGHT ME HOW TO LIVE AGAIN
TO GIVE EXPECTING NO RETURN
TO ALWAYS WAKE UP WITH A SMILE
YOU HAVE TAGHT ME WELL
Track Name: TERRIBLE MOON
I WAS YOUNG BUT I WAS DYING
I COULD BEARLY KEEP ALIVE
YOU CAN LAUGH ALL YOU WANT BEHIND MY BACK
IM ALONE , SCHOOL IS CLOSED
AND I COULD NEVER KILL THE GHOST
IN EVERY WORD, EVERY SONG THAT I PLAY
SOMETHING HAPPEND , YOU WERE LATE
I CAN ONLY SIT AND WAIT
DINNER’S SERVED PLEASE FORGET WHAT I SAID ABOUT YOU


I WAS BORN UNDER THE SIGN OF A TERRIBLE MOON
I WAS WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO FORGET ABOUT YOU
BUT I WAS CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE THINGS I WOULD NEVER DO... LIKE YOU

TWELVE WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED
ITS NO FUN WHEN YOURE REJECTED
HANGING OUT AT THE LOST AND FOUND
TWISTED UP AND HALF WAY BROKEN
I WAS STRANDED IN A HALLWAY WHERE THE STAINED LEATHER COUCHES CAN TALK TO YOU
STEALING 1ST WAS NOT A PROBLEM
BUT TO HIDE IT FROM MY MOTHER ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING A MAN

I WAS BORN UNDER THE SIGN OF A TERRIBLE MOON
I WAS WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO FORGET ABOUT YOU
BUT I WAS CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE THINGS I WOULD NEVER DO... LIKE YOU

IS IT WRONG FOR ME TO QUESTION
IS IT LATE TO GET AN ANSWER
I CAN SEE THAT YOURE SIGN SAYS DO NOT DISTURBE
ILL GO BACK TO WHERE I CAME FROM
I´VE NO MANNERS AT THE TABLE
I CAN SEE THAT YOU DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS

I WAS BORN UNDER THE SIGN OF A TERRIBLE MOON
I WAS WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO FORGET ABOUT YOU
BUT I WAS CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE MAN I´D NEVER BECOME... LIKE YOU
Track Name: SLEEP IN THE BED YOUVE MADE
ITS A GREEK TRAGEDY
AND YOURE PLAYING THE PART OF DESDEMONE
YOURE HEART IS BROKEN
WHEN THE CURTAIN FALLS AND THER’S APPLAUSE
YOURE WAVING AT THE CROWD OF PEOPLE FROM YOURE LIMOSINE
IM NOT IMPPRESED WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOUR A MILLIONAIR
WHEN ALL YOU GET ARE RAIN CHECKS IN THE MAIL
FROM THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE
THAT YOU THINK THAT YOURE ABOVE
AND IN THE END YOU COME TO ME

YOU SAY YOURE TIRED
OF WAITING TABLES
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
IS WHAT YOU WERE AFTER
BUT SOMEDAY BABY
EVENTUALLY YOU WILL
SLEEP IN THE BED YOUVE MADE

YOU CAN CALL THE NEXT IN LINE
TO BE YOURE FRIEND , TO PAY THE RENT
TO BAIL YOU OUT , TO BE YOURE SLAVE
AND WHEN YOURE TIRED OF HIS FACE
YOU CAN EASILY REPLACE HIM WITH THE NEXT
TO FALL IN LOVE
YOU CAN SMILE AT YOURE BOSS
AND YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH MURDER IN THE MOST EXCENTRIC WAYS
AND WHEN YOU THINK YOUVE HAD ENOUGH YOU CAN TEL HIM ITS THE END OF YOURE CARREER

YOU BETTER WATCH HOW YOU PLAY YOURE CARDS CAUSE
THEYRE CATCHING UP WITH YOURE MANY FACES
AND SOMEDAY BABY EVENTUALLY YOU WILL
SLEEP IN THE BED YOUVE MADE

AFTER ALL THAT I HAVE SAID AND DONE
I THINK YOURE LOTS OF FUN
WHEN YOURE ABOUT TO FALL APART
AND THOUGH ITS HARD TO COME ARROUND
WHEN SOMEBODY BREAKS YOUR HEART
IM JUST A FOOL AND ILL PAY THE PRICE

NOW I KNOW YOU
YOU DONT IMPRESS ME
I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY, EVENTUALLY I WILL
SLEEP IN THE BED YOUVE MADE
Track Name: POLLINATION PROCESS
YOU SEE HER WALKING INTO THE ROOM
SHE KNOWS YOURE THERE
YOU FIX YOURE HAIR
ITS A SECRET DANCE OF GLARES
SHE SETS YOU UP LIKE A BOWLLING PIN
BUT YOULL STRIKE OUT ANY WAY

SHE’S GOT ANOTHER COMPANION
AND STILL SHE WANTS YOU
TO GET HER A DRIINK
SO YOU FIX HER UP A TONIC AND GIN
WHILE SHES MASTURBATING HIM
WITH AN EDUCATED GRIN

THE POLLINATION PROCESS BEGINS
ITS A MAN AND WOMAN PROBLEM
FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER EVERYONE WINS
‘TILL A FLY DROPS IN YOUR DRY MARTINI

IS IT CRUEL TO SAY YOULL REGRET IT SOME DAY

YOU SAY YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED SOON
SHE’S ALL FOR DRINKS AFTER THREE
SHE SAIS SHE’LL MARRY BUT SHES TLAKING TO HIM
SHE WANTS A BALLROOM WITH A GROOM
BUT IN HER DREAMS SHE WASNT SLEEPING WITH YOU

THEY WILL GET MARRIED AND HAVE A HANDFULL OF KIDS
THEY’LL BE OK
BUT IT WASNT MENT TO BE THAT WAY
THEY’LL HAVE A HOUSE WITH A NICE FACADE
BUT UNDERNEATH ITS REALLY FALLING APART

THE POLLINATION PROCESS BEGINS
ITS A MAN AND WOMAN PROBLEM
FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER EVERYONE WINS
‘TILL A FLY DROPS IN YOUR DRY MARTINI
Track Name: FEEL YOU TONIGHT
MY LOVE WHEN EVER I LOOK AT THE SKY
I KNOW I CAN SEE YOURE EYES SHINING ABOVE
STARING BACK AT ME

AT NIGHT I SUDDENLY FEEL YOURE HEART
I KNOW THAT WERE NOT APART AND I KNOW YOU CAN FLY
STRAIGHT INTO MY DREAMS

AND I CAN FEEL YOU TONIGHT
