CONVERTIBLE 1:

Morning
(platzgumer)

feel before you rise
the world’s wide open with your eyes still closed
in the darkness shines the night
and carries images you thought were lost
in the morning light

it’s calm before the storm
a gentle breeze so softly moving through
the realm of dreams still rules the mind
and what you need to know is there to find
in the morning light

 

Your Reward
(macKenna)

dream my lips and trace over them
hold my head and meet me where I am
find the beat in the words I write
understand my slow unwind

kiss me cause you love me
smell me cause I’m sweet
look at me cause I’m beautiful
rock me and keep the beat

notice when my temperature rises
know that cold air blows me in
show me how to believe in you
embrace love, bask, and then

kiss me cause you love me
smell me cause I’m sweet
look at me cause I’m beautiful
rock me and keep the beat

 

Just As Long
(platzgumer)

just as long as we’re together
our lives won’t get no better
just as long as that’s okay
I will never go astray
I won’t mind I won’t cry
I won’t lose my star in the sky
I will hope I will cope
just as long as we’re together

just as long as we’re together
slight off balances won’t matter
just as long as we stand tall
we can deaden each other’s fall
I won’t care
no despair
just as long as you’re still there
there is hope I will cope
just as long as we’re together

 

Skunks & Porcupines
(platzgumer/macKenna)

I am a prince
didn't want it to be
one kiss awoke him inside of me
and I did not mean to be

I rode away to see what I got
being a prince is more than not
and that is what I got

my world inside
their world outside
they don’t match these times
and I would have to lie
and say that I’m better of this time
when I’m really not

I am a clown
wasn’t ready to be
with all them faces there laughing at me
I wasn’t ready for this

I tried to throw out what I shouldn't
and clean up what I couldn't
cause you're beautiful like Skunks and Porcupines

 

Your Pull Is Gone
(macKenna)

it’s sad my dear
so sad you pushed me here
I'm around the corner
it’s sad you pushed me here
the fight goes on without me now
it's quiet now
the quiet shines light down on me
but my love it trickled out

your pull is gone

it's over now my dear
I didn't want it to be
you crossed a line
you really let me free

you gave me more pushing me than any other way
I know you didn’t mean to
but that’s all that’s left to say
And the holes you poked
I tried
I didn’t want it to be
you crossed a line
and it’s over now that’s plain to see

your pull is gone

 

I Shall Try
(platzgumer)

my memory is full
all batteries are empty
I can’t let you in no more
to comprehend it
I don’t mean to hurt anyone around me now
it’s time for me to start and take it all back now

and you say that I should try
and I shall try
if I can’t be honest then I shall lie
I shall try

away leading me astray
away walking in the rain
and you’re the one to see
the stroke fell right on me
my life is good in misery
but these days are not for you to see

and you say that I should try
and I shall try
if I can’t be honest then I shall lie
I shall try

 

Weather
(macKenna/platzgumer)

it was the rain on this beautiful day
that made me feel so ashamed
I see you I feel you
even now that I’m away

it’s the weight oh so heavy on me
that made me drop dead alive
I see I feel
your movements in the sky

I love you now like I couldn't love you then
we had to come apart to come together again
we had to come apart
we were apart

it’s the cage I was trying to flee
but I did not succeed
not inside not outside
I never shall be free

I love you now like I couldn't love you then
we had to come apart to come together again
I love you now like I couldn't love you then

so wide
where ever I turn
so wide
I cannot relearn

I love you now like I couldn't love you then
we had to come apart to come together again

 

Bleeding Inside
(platzgumer)

heeding your mind
missing the line
not filling up its emptiness
lost in your space
lost all your ways
there’s nothing left to trust in anymore

when you’re holding back too long
with your madness growing strong
you are bleeding inside
and you’re hoping to refind
your former strenght of mind
you are bleeding inside
and your mind is at a stage
where it cannot keep up with the race
bleeding inside

you should color up the grey
but you cannot take the weight
you are bleeding inside
you notice you’re alone
and you’re trying to be strong
you are bleeding inside
your naivity is lost
your vision it is blocked
you are bleeding inside
and you want to turn away
but you cannot stop the pain
you are bleeding inside

when you are heeding your mind
and you’re bleeding inside
the moment now has come to show your will to carry on

 

Saving All My Love
(platzgumer)

I’m still standing here
drowning in this mess I’m in
don’t know where to start
don’t know how to begin
you find me walking through the streets like paralyzed
I’m just waiting for my call
and I’m saving all my love
for the right one to come

so I’m moving fast
not moving yet not standing still
until I come to terms with what I feel
I am keeping my head clear for the things to come
while I’m turning round in circles
I’m saving all my love
for the right one to come

 

I Saw You
(macKenna)

I didn’t wait
you never did arrive
I didn’t doubt my love
it felt too much alive

and you saw me
I saw you recognise
you told me
I felt it from your eyes
You saw me you told me
that we’d always be together forever
just like we’ve always been

I took you
I let you
I gave you
it doesn’t matter now what you said

 

Steps
(platzgumer)

and then she closed that door
her steps stay with me for ever more

 

FRAILTY OF WIN - STRENGTH OF DEFEAT:

 

STRENGTH OF DEFEAT
(platzgumer)

Moving forward, switching back
The journey is making ist own track
Dreams arise and prove untrue
Merely adding to the things I could not do
In endless hope my strenght is pretend as my vision expands
I was fooled by my own lies
And now I reach out my hand
Great expectations so easily break
And make room for the new
as the wind softly blows them away
How I learned to forget
Those memories I pushed back
Now they don’t stand in my way any longer
The frailty inside it is growing stronger
Reading through the pages of the past
Chapters that I opened up
I knew they couldn’t last
Scrolling down those pages of the past
I’m feeling a push and the motion begins
Now I’m brushing the rim
Guided by someone else’s hand into someone else’s land
Into the dawn I take a step
Into the loop that ever leads me back
I’m drawing my own map
It’s pushing me forward while holding me back
Reading through the pages of the past
Memories I left behind
I know they could not last
Scrolling down the pages of the past

 

TRANSITORY
(platzgumer)

Looking into these blue eyes I wonder where the future lies ahead
Wise and voiceless true blue eyes
Can’t you tell me where we’re heading at
A world of fear
A pool of tears
Eternal night
A world of light
Will these trees there still stand tall
Will this place become too small and fall
Will it matter if we stop
Are we passing by or passing on
A world of sound
A higher ground
A ray of light
A world of might
Transitory

 

ALMOST THERE
(platzgumer)

The engine’s started, I’m shifting out of place
My time has come, turn the motor on
As you expect me to boldly hover up in grace
I’m out of touch, the leader of the race
I know no patience, I know no wait
The gate’s wide open as I’m spitting in the devil’s face
This was my quick start as destiny’s not yet in sight
I can feel how it’s pulling me, sucking me into the center of its eye
And I’m almost there
Now that I got my head in place you cannot keep up with my pace
And I’m almost there
I’m shooting into the future now, today is my tomorrow now
And I’m almost there
Will you remember my last goodbye as I am zooming out of sight
And I’m almost there
My mind ain’t running out of fuel, no time for rest, I’m coming through
I’m almost there
As I am reaching for the stars I cannot remain what I was
And I’m almost there
As the decades change I change with them
Transforming into an unknown brand
And I’m almost there

 

GONE
(platzgumer)

Moving away in this long lost day
Transporting what I can never convey
I’m gone far gone
Into the void where the sun escapes
Into the land where I lost my name
I’ll be gone far gone
I’m gone I’m gone
Don’t search for me cause I won’t be where you could see my hiding
No empathy don’t comfort me when you can see me crying
Don’t search for me cause I won’t be where you could see my hiding
No empathy
Don’t fake for me
I’m taking off to my private space
I’m with myself in my endless cave
I’m gone I’m gone
Drifting around where you can read the sound
Walking for miles without touching ground
I’m gone far gone
Don’t search for me cause I won’t be where you could see my hiding
No empathy don’t comfort me when you can see me crying
Don’t search for me
Don’t fake for me
I’m taking off to my private space
I’m with myself in my endless cave
I’m gone far gone
I’m gone

 

ETERNAL MOMENT
(platzgumer)

As I’m lying by your side
Eternal moment
I catch the air that you breathe
I cannot move I cannot sleep
As I’m holding you without touching you
As I’m telling you without a sound
Eternal moment
Right here by your side
Eternal moment
All my senses opened wide
As I’m lying by your side in the stillness of the night
Eternal moment

INTO NOTHING
(platzgumer)

Whistling a tune in a flat scale
Biding my time
I know you’d care for me if it was the right time
Taking a stroll in a slow pace
One step at a time
We both have seen it before
It was wrong to be right
Into nothing
We’re getting along oh so well now
My memory and I
Getting away doing nothing
I watch the hours fly by
Into the daze into nothing
Enjoying the ride
My time to move will come
For now I’m stretching my time
Whistling a tune in a flat scale
Getting away doing nothing
Taking a stroll in a slow pace
Into the daze into nothing
Into nothing

 

PEACE OF MIND
(platzgumer)

A thousand questions
A thousand answers
A thousand ways to communicate
Too much information
Too much agitation
Too many connections make my mind crash nowadays
While I gotta have my peace of mind
Oh I gotta keep my peace of mind
Too many buildings blocking my view
Too many mirrors where I can see through
Too many people stand in my way
Too many one-way streets where I get lost these days
While I gotta have my peace of mind
Oh I gotta keep my peace of mind
There are thousands of eyes watching my every move
There are a thousand drums keeping my in their groove
While I gotta have my peace of mind
Oh I gotta keep my peace of mind

 

SOLID GOLD
(platzgumer)

Now I found my solid gold
I got mine and you got yours
I opened up to let it in
It touched my heart
I let it in
Solid gold

 

 

CONVERTIBL3:

MINDWALK
(platzgumer)

Walking at your side
I want to carry on
Walking in my mind
As if I was not alone
Taking it through the night where our love shines on
In my mind I carry on with my life
When you cross a line
You can look at things from the other side
The truth begins to lie
When you set it free and you let it fly
See as it climbs up high, so high in the sky
Try to make it fly in your mind
Carry it through your days
Stopping at the light
As it shines in a different way
The truth has got two lives
As I step into another day
Stepping across the line, it feels so right
Time is by your side
See how it fades away
Walking your mind today

 

BRIXTON WITCHCRAFT
(platzgumer)

Bright as day was the night
Her sleep covered by dim light
As she lay on the bed
Slowly she turned her head
There was no motion in the room
A silent glide through the gloom
A hover in half-light
A wicked glint in her eyes
As she opened them wide
I felt her staring at me
And I was longing to scream
Her mind was miles ahead of mine
But still she touched me
With fingers of ice
In cold faint light

My empty breath rose to the ceiling
In its clouds I was conceiving
Dark light
As she was looking down on me
As she was quietly knowing me
She would do it again
Pookey pookey my friend
Make me doze into eternity
I surrender
Into the twilight zone

 

COVER ME
(platzgumer)

Forces overpowering me
I let them go
Away from me, leave me be
for they don't know
Close my eyes
Shall not see
Parallel world
Cover me

Looking through the mirrored glass
I see too much of this and too little of that for me
Close my eyes
Shall not feel
Parallel world
Cover me

In a dream
Breathing in
Then I exhale reality

 

NEGATIVE SPACE
(macKenna)

What about you?
Is that where you are?
What about you?
Is that where you are?
I didn’t know death, now I think of you.
Is that where you are?
If I’m a crazy ass-hole, I was the day that we met.
What about you?
I’ve been paralyzed and I feel again.
What about you?
Have you survived and lived again?
Is that where you are?
When you know you can, how can you not?
Please don’t talk about time…
Seeing life from pushed off its ledge,
would you tow the same lines?
What about you?
Is that where you are?
What about you?
Is that where you are?

 

NO THOUGHTS
(macKenna)

No thoughts at all
Accidents unfold
People talk on the phones
Better come around
Better look around
No thoughts at all

VERBALISE IT
(platzgumer)

When everything tumbles and falls apart
I will be here with you
When all the world collapses and breaks apart
I will be here with you
In the mist of a new dawning
I will be right here, darling
It's time to verbalise it

SILVER RAIN
(platzgumer)

Silver rain pour down on me and drown the sun
from a crystal sky
I am the one
how's taking off into your spiral clouds
who's diving through the waters you send down
who won't be seen again

Silver rain pour down on me and drown the sun
from a crystal sky
I am the one
I'm taking off into your spiral clouds
I'm diving through the waters you send down
I will not shed a tear
I am your son

 

PREACHER
(platzgumer)

Come on now, take my hand and I'll show you through the land
Come on now, stay with me, with your own eyes you will see
There are people round here who are mongering with fear
Come on down, take my hand and I'll guide you through the land
You're living in oblivion

Come on down everyone, I shall lead you to the sun
There are souls which were lost, now it's time to carry on
Follow me, hear the call, all for one and one for all
Come on now, rise with me, in the morning we'll be free
You've been living in oblivion way too long

 

MORNING LIGHT
(platzgumer)

feel before you rise
the world’s wide open with your eyes still closed
in the darkness shines the night
and carries images you thought were lost
in the morning light

it’s calm before the storm
a gentle breeze so softly moving through
the realm of dreams still rules the mind
and what you need to know is there to find
in the morning light

 

SINK SOME SHIPS
(macKenna)

I'd never give you words untrue
I stopped looking for love past the moment I found you
Convertible
Love flows when it knows it's able
At the top of my chest, between my shoulder blades
Indellible
Let's sink some ships tonight
Right on the surface floats my freight
but with you its useless to flow that weight
So Good-bye
I'm turning up and verticle
I'm lifted, churned up, Convertible
Goodbye
Let's sink some ships, you and I
I know you see, we question gravity
Let's sink some ships

 

OUTSIDE
(platzgumer)

Take a look at things from the outside
Take a look at things from the outside
Lonesome man
Poor boy
Wicked girl
Gambling man
Proud woman
Frightened girl
Into-the-light man
Violent man
Starlight woman
Joyless man
Sunlight woman
My girlfriend
Your boyfriend
My man
From the outside
Take a look at things from the outside

BURNING LIGHT
(platzgumer)

Rays of the sun so hot they’re burning my skin
Carress me deep inside
Love me long and wild
I’m flirting with the sun
I keep on ´til I’m done
And beyond
I’m bursting to tears
I’m melting in the heat
I’m laughing with joy
Let me be your solar loverboy

WORLD IN MY POCKET
(platzgumer)

I got the world in my pocket
Pocket inside out
If I’m moving too roughly
It might be falling out
Got a dream to believe in
Got a place to escape to
So if you let yourself drown
Then do it without me

I’ll let you inside
I’ll show you around
I’ll open the door
Come on down
You may stay if you’d like to
There’s a room with a view for you
But if you choose to go under
Then do it without me

Got the world in my pocket
Have it inside out
Got a place to show you
Have a look around
If you let yourself drown
If you’re moving too roughly
If you choose to go down
Then do it without me

STAND IN FRONT OF ME
(macKenna)

Stand in front of me
See into me
Press down on me
Drip over me
Shake it out of me
Heat it up for me
Into me
I want you into me
Looking into me
Right in front of me
Pressing into me
I want you into me
Press it into me
Into me

 

ALH84001:

Ride
(macKenna)

To the sky and the wind
For moving hair around my skin
To the heat-
This beat
and the song I have to sing

Electric and shine
Petals and vines
Sway and burn
I’m taking my turn.

Along this untangled beat
Turning down different streets
Blow out the glimmer lights
Step on Marshmallow flight
We’re gonna fly this empty night

Let’s ride this untangled beat
Coast feeling its heat
Let’s soar along its glide
Then flip it to the other side.
Let’s ride.

 

Shapes Collide
(macKenna)

Like in those dreams
- a door you’ve never seen before
and when you open it up
there’s so much more

Like when
Shapes collide
Into a perfect fit
I wanna catch
I wanna hit

As far as I can tell
From all I’ve ever seen
Some of us live
Others dream
and shapes collide

 

Whose Woods Are These
(robert frost)

Whose Woods I think I know
His house is in the village, though.
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

 

Please please please let me get what I want
(stephen morrissey)

Good times for a change
See the luck I had could make a good man turn bad
So please please please let me get what I want this time
Haven’t had a dream in a long time
See the life I had can make a good man bad
So for once in my life let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time.

 

Know
(platzgumer)

If you're there
or if you're not
you never make me know it

If you're here
or someplace else
you won't  show it

Is it you
or is it me
I wouldn't know it

Some place else is a better place
Some other time is a better time

Is it there
or is it not
I wouldn't know it

 

Skunks & Porcupines 010
(macKenna / platzgumer)

I am a prince
didn't want it to be
one kiss awoke him inside of me
and I did not mean to be

I rode away to see what I got
being a prince is more than not
and that is what I got

my world inside
their world outside
they don’t match these times
and I would have to lie
and say that I’m better of this time
when I’m really not

I am a clown
wasn’t ready to be
with all them faces there laughing at me
I wasn’t ready for this

I tried to throw out what I shouldn't
and clean up what I couldn't
cause you're beautiful like Skunks and Porcupines

 

Space Between
(platzgumer)

The way the wheel was turning
It was bound to go down
It should have been plain to see that something’s going wrong

I’ve been waiting for you
And you waited where we could not meet
In the space between

Now this is all we got
The empty space between

I needed to go with it, driving away
We talked but never spoke the words we should have said

The distance between us kept growing with every passing day
Now we walk on separate ways

The empty space between

Now this is all we got
The empty space between

The empty space between

The way the wheel was turning
It was bound to go down

 

The Killing Song
(platzgumer)

So I have killed tonight
I cut off a life
Killing once killing twice
Lay it on me

The forest keeps a secret
hidden beneath the trees
I dropped the knife
no one shall see it

I have killed tonight
I cut off my life

 

Coming Your Way
(platzgumer)

I have been coming your way
Yes, I have been coming your way
But you never open your eyes
To see how I’m coming your way

I have been talking to you
Thought I was talking with you
But never ever hear what I say
When I am talking with you

I have been coming your way
And you haven’t seen I was there
Don’t you never ever open your eyes
To see me coming your way

 

If
(platzgumer)

If the road would take me anywhere
I’d keep on walking

 

Needles
(macKenna / platzgumer)

So I lay
A needle in the hay
And you’d come back and lay with me

Outside the branches sway 
Against night's black & grey
Not further
Just right away
But anyway

Now there’s no use for all this anymore
Cause you’re gone
Now there ain’t no use for me hanging on
No, there ain’t no use to still hang on

Oh, come lay
We'll be needles in the hay
With the branches we sway
Just you and I

Against night's black and grey
Time passes away
Let's kiss good-bye today
Come lay with me, my love

Now there’s no use for all this anymore
Cause you’re gone
Yeah you’re gone and I’m still hanging on
No, there ain’t no use in hanging on

C’mon and lay with me
We’ll be needles in the hay
Come lay
We’ll be needles in the hay

 

No Time
(macKenna / platzgumer)

It is time
To be stepping out of line
You and I have been watching for so long
and still we stay behind.
Too many moments pass
Not seeing through the masks
Playing the same songs
Off we fly

Now it's time to step out of line
Running out of time

The circle's unbroken
Questions never asked
The doors are open
It's our life to pass.
And their movements are not my movements
their actions I'm refusing
Can't synch me to their time
It's not mine

Stepping outta line.

No time
Is the time
Is your time
Is my time

 

A Vow
(platzgumer)

The day you walked out of our life
Set foot onto the land
That day was fated to never end

I watched you shut the creaky gate
Saw you leave without a sound
Not a single thing I avowed

You must have come a long long way by now
Such a long long way now

Your shape absorbed by the light
Not to be returned
Not given back to those who yearn

When I dared to follow you
And grab your hand
There was nothing left to understand

You must have made a long long way by now
Such a long long way now

I walked your path for many miles
Not seeing any land
Useless footprints in the sand

The empty night, dull and black
Winds around me now
Its emptiness, my vow

This emptiness embraces me now
Your leave, my vow

 

Pan lives
(ostermaier)

leave your coat fuck this goat
call her sylvia before you kill her
take the road and cut her throat
suck her blood so you're the god

coast to coast the trees are dead
the shepards mad the end ahead
lost in stars the moon fades out
the sky is silver so is my cloud

with streets in panic I will love
if there is heaven it's not above
deep in your eyes waits a night
and no wrong will become right

I am pan and I will fuck this goat
I am pan and I will fuck your god
I am pan and I will cut his throat
I am pan and I will suck all blood
