and then the earth starts shaking (a remainder)

no one, no body, no thing, nothing
he and she in the beggining
god, faces of ghosts and holy spirits
construction, composition, creation
leftovers, remainders, parts, pieces
he and she stand aside
like old lovers do
then he and she stand apart
far like one and...two
if she believed in him and he believed in her
would we still need a god, 2 gods, 3 gods,uff...oh my god!!!
he and she
the angel and the devil
the egg and the chicken
or the chicken and then the egg
and you, you, you and you too
the world revolving, the air thickening
you fall asleep and get trapped in a dream catcher
and
when you just pay attention
you're sleeping with eyes open
your wife is pregnant
there's a fishbone in your throat
your naked body is covered with a coat
you are in an elevator and the cable has been cut
you're falling down the stairs everyday
no one belongs here more than you
still you have a feeling you're out of the box
you can't get no satisfaction
you cannot comprehend this sensation
you shake your head
you go mad
you remember things you want to forget
memories you want to erase
in a frenetic chase
remember when you robbed in the supermarket
remember when you crawled that tall fence
remember when the whole world has turned you into a target
remember times you exploded into a wild dance
how you became a consumer with no humour
how you sank while digging your own hole
looked around and felt absurd
got dizzy and tripped in your own pool of blood
remember feeling you have a small dick and how that made you so weak
you look in the mirror and you can't recognize yourself anymore
your sleep is substituted by a snore
and as your breath drifts from the right pace
you want to wipe your face
and move into a state of grace
somehow things remain the same
life is a fantastic game
you change your name
yes, you wanna go down that track
but first you put on your mask
you're a dreamer that dreams and lives in the dream
scattered
You get your load on the road
You have so much and you still want more
You do the things you love
Why is gray becoming your way to endure?
You make mistakes and re-arrange everything again
You nurture cliché, assumption, certainty and policy
You afraid of no tomorrow
You afraid of no success tomorrow
You are in love with your own fate
You survive you resist and you insist
Though it feels it's getting late
You keep on preparing life not pretending it
You are confused about directions
You want to go into another world
Let me tell you something a little bit closer
closer
closer
These words I use like swords
Fill this song to make you feel strong
Keep thinking I'm nothing but trouble

Now stop and feel good



You know
some things have to go
some people have to go
near the end everything turns to sand
you keep on losing
the common sense
the good and bad
the high and low
and downbelow



you hide heartaches and headaches
you become an adult
you stop dreaming
you start being serious
you go into a comma.
but when the curtain comes up and the lights go down
you give yourself the green light
to pose questions that push you from this core
you ask how do these things relate when they seem so far apart?

And I speed it up
And tell you more
I'm a liar without a choir
telling this story
before my fire is smoke
before my eletricity blacks out
I Keep it alive
You keep it alive
You tiny giant
We enlarge
We change,
We move
We evolve
We blow things up
We make a toast
a toast of fossil fuels
to laughing out loud
to bursting in tears
to action and reaction
to construction and destruction.
to tracing your own map of the world
to the world getting upside down
to consumer capitalism, overpopulation, annihilation of natural resources necessary to a sustainable environment
to all that shit you see, you read, you hear and think "fuck this is getting bad"
to then forget about it because microwave popcorn kicks ass
to all together now
