SCARE YOURSELF ALIVE
(LIVE CD/DVD)

Wide eyed
Open mouthed
Blank faced
Low clouds
Long walk
Up from hell
But I came back
Back unbent
What it means
Is that I'm good
That much
Is understood
But all in the room
Is dark because
Life is no longer what it was

Lawrence of Suburbia
Real life is murder
Wake up from Utopia
On it again
All aboard the moneytrain

Everyday
As a rule
I'm distant
I'm cool
Not the same
As before
I've folded up suicide
In four
But this dirty sun
Shining down
Pierce the dark
And the sound
All you'll see
Is a tightlipped smile
On a scared little man
As the train runs wild...

Lawrence of....

Scare yourself

You scare yourself with the future
Yeah its hollow chest seems full
No room for rebellion
You only see the strings that pull
Scared into boredom
Yeah 'coz the things that tempt your fate
Just grows into trouble
Both some old and some up to date
Scare yourself into empty space
A distant star above the human race
Scare yourself about the getting down
'coz when you look down you never left the ground

Scare yourself into darker nights
Scare yourself on how you live your life
Scare yourself far away from the light
Today is the worst day of your life...

You're too afraid to remember
You know you're going to dream what you saw
But you will not be listening
To what it says but for the knock on the door
Scare yourself up against the wall
Your face is white from a voice that calls
You're the trap and the bait as well
You're so smart you're gonna scare yourself

Scare yourself into darker nights
Scare yourself on how you live your life
Scare yourself about the getting down
'Cause when you look down you never left the ground...
You never left the ground...

The Road Below Me

Like a roach in a sink, I was fighting the water
I fell on my back down the drain
I'd drown you'd think but no sooner than later
I was back on my feet again
Yeah, I crawled on the streets, looking up at the buildings
And often I hid my face
I paced among feet, your floor was my ceiling
But now I live like I own the place

On the road below me
I smile at the joys of travelling
On the road below me
I can handle almost everything
On the road below me
First I was sad; but now I'm free
On the road below me
The distance from here to a memory

Every day was a mountain, the fear of what hid
Inside of the timeworn phrases
I went from pale to gray, from being shut away
And now I can't resist new faces
Days become weeks, yeah, March becomes May
Looking back at my sleepless nights
But, hey, I'm built for trouble and I can take a lot
And I can safely say: "I'm allright"!

On the road below me ... Allright!

You know wonders are wonderful
-Even when they are being asked for..
Yeah, we just don't know
What life has in store for us..
Because the moral of this is immoral
And the moral escapes me now...

On the road below me ...

Soft Dogs

Wrong words
Out of confusion
Yeah, I risk losing
The flesh you wear so well
Lost words
Eating away with no patience
Noone mentions
Our hearts like a small machine
Giving
And finding the place where your soul is
It's just that I know this
It's near the wound - it's near the pain
Listen
To the warm red water
Making me smaller
And soft as tears - soft as rain

I'm finally on my knees
The stupid pride recedes
Baby, I'm all ears..
Finally
I hear every word you're sayin'
Baby, I'm a soft dog at your feet

Wrong turns
Maybe I ordered
But, you followed
Me straight to hell
And wild words
Like I know what I'm doing
Like I know who I'm using
I can never tell..
Changes
The kiss of life that I'm giving
I've been afraid for no reason
Again this feels like home

I'm finally ...

Yeah, it's nothing but spoken words
But, it's the words that hurts
And some will never be said again ..
Mistakes, we'll quickly forget it
The one false line, I really regret it
Because the original scratch remains

Hey Now

My feet were in London
My head in the clouds
And I'm constantly moving
With the holiday crowds
This happy future
Is a thing of the past
I watch the day ending
I watch shadows pass the city's
Arriving I begin to feel fine
Then the city sits down
And I go out of my mind
I've ended up taking
The longest way home
I'm cool but I'm all alone

Hey now I'm out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There's nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad

Enough for one day now
The edge of the world
Look at the frontpage
And what it did to the girl
Her shit was together
Her feet on the ground
Now it's sounding like zippers
As the dryer goes round
To the man with the most
Whose face never changes
Enough for one day now
Yeah - I'm cool

Hey now I'm out the door like a cat
Across the tracks
And never once looking back
Hey now
There's nothing new in that
Not everybody knows
The good from the bad hey hey
Just hear what I say
I take the blame
But not the pain pain pain

Jihad

From the steamin Mekong delta
To the shores of Tonkin bay
Bombs of yellied gasoline
Is making night as bright as day
And the mogul's hard tank masters
Adore their new grenades
And the D.A.D. find their 9" shells
Are great for border raids

Yeah! I'm superfurious
I've done it again
I reach 50 when I count to 10
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left
For the pilgrims
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left
For the pilgrims

And you can shake your fist at the T.V. set
And you can slam your hand in the table
And you can cry and curse
Through tightlocked teeth
Just as hard as you are able
But you can't run away from trouble
'Coz there ain't no place that far
No fuel left for the pilgrims
Yeah! That's just the way we are

'Coz I'm superfurious I've done it again
I reach 50 when I count to 10
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left for the pilgrims
Jihad, I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left for the pilgrims

This is tower again, do you read me? You can get the girls & the
videomachine but the fuel you asked for... You cannot have!

What?! Blow me to heaven!!
Jihad I'm getting so mad I'm getting so mad
..Who's mad I'm mad, so mad
Jihad I'm getting mad
And there's no fuel left for the pilgrims.
Etc.

Grow or pay

There was a real thin line
Between right or wrong
In those Walt Disney times
When my parents were young..
But the line has disappeared...
And you wonder where it hides....
And you wanna go out; but you stay inside.....

I got run over by truth one day
Didn't see the red light
Since the accident I've walked this way
- I only did what felt right...
But from this day on; it's either: grow or pay!
Grow or pay
'Coz I got run over by truth one day

Sometimes the sky's so grey
That you cannot see beyond it
And even the wildest of dreams
- Can't take those lines from your forehead
Yeah! I know there's a bill
- And it's gonna make it's way somehow
With an excuse and a bow; I'll be paying it now:

Grow or pay
I got run over by the truth one day
And since the accident I've walked this way
Didn't see the red light
But from this day on; it's either grow or pay!

Grow or pay
'Coz I got run over by the truth one day...

Something Good

Do you really think that you're lost?
And that you'll never find the way
Learn the secrets of the woods
See the picture if you could
You grow a little every day
And now I'm grown and I look like you
Who'd ever know - how I turned out
But, I'm grown, and I look like you
I look like someone I never knew..

Speak while you
