Mezcal Head
Album - 5 agosto 1993 - Debaser id 76169

You seem to circle miles above me
Never hearing any word that I say
Eyes reeling from deadly pleasure
The last second don't count anyway
Without the safety net you're freed
To find serene pleasure of speed

A blur of beauty, intoxicating
Existence outstripped, outshined
Head clear cold chassis shaking
Encounter of body and mind
Erupting violent machine
Precise exultance so serene

Poised between risk and calculation
In a kind of wide-awake alert daze
Pretty pirouette accelerating
Beyond living in so many ways
Without the safety net you're freed
To find serene pleasure of speed
Erupting violent machine
Precise exultance so serene

You've been away for so long
You can't ask why
You've been away
You can't ask why
You can't ask why

A million stars out tonight
Could spark neon from candlelight
One million stars
Could spark neon from candlelight
Could spark neon from candlelight

I'm goin' down, down to the market place
Goin' to learn to give
I'm goin' down, down by the sea market side
Goin' to learn to live

The tightropes wound around
Just one slip and you tumble down
The ropes wrapped around
Just one slip and you tumble down
One slip and you tumble down

I'm goin' down, down to the market place
Goin' to learn to give
I'm goin' down, down by the sea market side
Goin' to learn to live

White hot morning
The blinding light of day holds sway
Barefoot yawning wipe the night out from my eyes
It's slowly dawning
This summer town's a merry-go-round
The stakes get risen daily
In every way there's more to pay

And I'm not searching for these changes
They just slip by me everyday
And everything needs rearranging
And you're the one to make it stay

Glass clear morning
It's blowin' cool outside today
Without warning the crowds all meet across the street
Payphone calling, down the square the people stare
This daily planet's beauty lies behind untutored eyes

And I'm not searching for these changes
They just slip by me everyday
And everything needs rearranging
And you're the one to make it stay

Cool morning
Cool morning

White hot morning
The blinding light of day holds sway
Barefoot yawning, wipe the night out from my eyes
It's slowly dawning
This summer town's a merry-go-round
Without a watch you get to know
The time is right for crime

And I'm not searching for these changes
They just slip by me everyday
And everything needs rearranging
And you're the one to make it stay

Cool morning
Cool morning

The day I drove you to the fair
Undying love was born down there

This ultra-love is what I feel
Those darker forces just ain't real

You're safe alone in here with me
You're safe in here alone with me
You're safe alone in here with me
Alone in here with me you're safe

I keep on thinkin' it's wrong
So I'm chiding you in a song
It's comin' your way

You shouldn't feel this way

And yeah you think it's a sin
I ain't your color of skin
It's comin' your way

You shouldn't feel this way

I keep on losin' my feet
When I walk down the street
I keep on thinkin' it's you
Guess it makes me feel blue
You say it's broken your dreams
They fall apart at the seams
It's comin' our way

You shouldn't feel this way
You shouldn't feel this way
I shouldn't feel this way
You shouldn't feel this way
We shouldn't feel this way

Take a walk through the city
Turn right at Potzdamer Platz
To see a girl on a motorbike
Expression carved on her face
Saw a man in a cafe downtown
Who says it fucks with your head
When you're tryin' to sleep at night
With a gun across your bed

Don't wanna be down at heel
Don't wanna be down at heel
You've shown disgrace on my place
You've gotta know how it feels

Sometimes at night when it's cold outside
It would be easier and sweet
To hack a road through the jungle
Than clear a path down the street
Too many folk in the middle lane
Who don't wanna swerve 'gainst the rails
Apathy balanced with disdain
Dogs chasin' their own tails

Don't wanna be down at heel
Don't wanna be down at heel
You come breakin' down my front door
You've gotta know how it feels

Followed the girl on a motorbike
Saw her enter a bar
It's dark inside with candles burn and
To liberate her scars
She Spanish-dance on the table
With butterflies that burn
It's like an incessant fox-hunt
Too many lessons learned

And when the dawn begins to creep
Sunlight finds you in a heap
And how you wish that you could sleep
Forget the lies that you've been told
You think you're settin' free your soul
But you're really gettin' old
You've dreamt of divin' in the sea
Your outstretched arms in front of me
And how you wished that you could breathe
In the grip of ecstasy
When the shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
You wish someone could love you less
Longing for that one caress
I see you sink under Duress
And when you wanna kill it dead
You let it throttle you instead

You find it here
You find it everywhere
It's always there
I'm drivin' everywhere

Beyond the glare
There's burnin' everywhere
We stop and stare
I'm falling every stair

So take me there
I really just don't care
Down at the fair
We'll find them everywhere

The clothes you wear
You find them everywhere
The profit's there
They're buyin' every share

You find it here
You find it everywhere
It's always there
I'm striving every stair
