Here comes the wind; row, row your boat
As I sail, I see the beggars and wounded crowd of people
Follow me, comrade, marching with the crowd
I am the captain pirate, the one and only pirate
Ten thousand gods will be watching me, so steady as she goes
Death may lie before me; I sail with the tide
Come on, come on comrade! Do what we want in this shitty world
I hear stories, ruthless, relentless bastard stories
That’s me, hahaha! Bring the life to the sea
Come on, come on comrade! I see the triumph in the end

BOOGEYMAN'S HYSTERIA
04:50
|

|
Sometimes I feel like a psycho killer; I buried one and two, three, four...
Forgot the number. Oh lord, I want you in that number
When it rains, I feel craziness inside my head
I track the scents, colors, scat, sounds... you know what I mean?
It’s lazy man’s tracking, a patient game
You know I’m a lazy hunter, you know?
But I am not a skudikudubai. I don’t wanna be somebody’s last special dinner
You might not live to tell this story, cause I hear someone is coming to me.
You better run, run, run to get out of here

OUTLAW

Hey man, I need a pistol when I see your smile, when I see your black back
You make me mad. I lost my temper. That’s your mistake.
Hey lady, I need a whisky when I smell your perfume, when I see your body
You dress like a queen and I know you deserve me. Wanna feel you
I don’t care about law, I don’t care about faith
I only shoot the worst one. I'm an outlaw
Hey rattlesnake, I need boots when I see your shake, shake, shake move
You make me go on a rampage and kill my eyes

When I first saw you, you looked like a cat from Mars
Your toe, your nose, your belly, it was so perfect
You said you wanna fly like a blue bird, I just so laughed
You said, ‘Our Moon looks like a banana," it became our band name
Flying cat, snow rabbit, desert fox, it’s your nickname
When I first saw you, you looked like an angel from star
Your color, your shape, your big eyes, it was so pretty
Lollipop, sweet jelly bean, lemon drop, it’s your nickname
Wild beast, big monster, stinker bear, it’s your nickname

I remember when I first met you
You said, “Hello,” and “who are you?”
I was sitting in an old chair drinking a lot of beers alone
You gave me your phone number, I don't know why
"Is she falling in love?”
So I put my imagination and hope in my pocket with a note
We walked on the sand hand in hand everyday
And I couldn't take my eyes off you
I promised to god on our first night that I will always love you, babe
I didn't believe in fate until I met you
I hated everything but me.
I was afraid of people, so I was always sitting alone
I'm not a nice guy, but you loved everything about me
I’ll never say goodbye, I’ll never let go of your hand
Now I have to give you everything
I cannot breathe when I think of you
I don't want to imagine life without you
You always make me crazy.
I don’t know why you said you loved me
I don’t know why I love you

LIZARD KING

Didn’t know what time it was
I am running again, someone behind me
I was standing at the front door, I saw what you did
I watched all, it was yesterday
They’re gonna chase me, they’re gonna shoot me
I don’t know who you are
I am running again, run to the end of road
I was standing on the edge of a cliff, I was screaming
I will kill you, I'm lizard king
They’re gonna chase me, she's gonna threaten me
He's gonna kiss me, everybody kill me

BALLAD OF AN OLD MAN

|
I will not allow myself to forget the time we had even though you're not around
Now I am old and weak, no family and friends indeed, no place to stay around
I need you, I need love
I will not allow myself to get help from others even though I have nothing in my pocket
I am sitting next to station, waiting for the last train so I can lie down my body
I need you, I need time

ROCK, SCISSORS, PAPER
03:56
|

|
If you wear yellow clothes, I wear light blue jeans.
If you wear a cherry blossom skirt, I wear sky-blue pants.
Sun is shining in the sky and we play hide and seek
We play all day long, watch the sun set together
All will be missed as time passes by
Alright, let's go and more jump!
If you wear purple glasses, I wear long white socks
If you wear a wonder woman suit, I wear a superman suit
Sun is shining in the sky and we play rock, scissors, paper
Alright, let's go and more jump, and dive, and dance!
Alright, let's go to bed, no more play
No more jump, come here baby, I have a book for you
Rock, Scissors, Paper!

PARTY'S OVER

Party’s over, my friend, crazy nights gone into the dawn
All we have memories of fever, we smoked a pack of cigarettes
We shared a lot
Party’s over, my friend. wild daydreams into dust
All we have are memories of fever, we slept for years, and years, and years
We shared a lot

THE OLD TOWN
04:08
|

|
The old town where I grew up
Sound of sea, I wake up
We were swimming and dancing on the shoreline
Many left, but no one comes back
One day, strangers came to my town
To buy our land and soul
Some sell, but I don’t have any land
Many left, but no one comes back
Mama, I wanna make everything right
But it’s not gonna happen, right?
I wanna dance with my friends
Now I’m lying by the sea
The old town where I grew up
Sea of grace and pain
My friends are gone to find their jobs
But it’s not your fault
