Almost Quiet

Almost quiet I'm going down.
Almost quiet I get around.
Almost quiet I'm wasting time.
Almost quiet I've changed my mind.
You can't save me,
You can't heal.
You can't save me,
You can't heal.
Almost quiet the evening dies.
Almost quiet you'll eat my lies.
Almost quiet I put you down.
Almost quiet I take you out .
You can't save me,
You can't heal.
You can't save me,
You can't heal.
You can't heal.
You can't heal.
You can't heal.
You can't heal.

Too many happy places
have faded after years.
This drove us to the new grounds
with good days in the rear.
Those marvelous illusions
were shaken till they're gone.
This bumpy road to fortune
becomes more troublesome.
There's no way home.
There's no way home.
There's no way home.
You're free to go.
It's up to you!
Don't let the gravest mem'ries
slow your journey down.
This road winds up the hillside
You'll need a clear sight now.
Reload your hope!
Reload your hope!
Reload your hope!
Reload your hope!
We're all on our way.
We're all on our way.

Floating around
on the pathetic ocean.
Refining all
of my crude emotions.
Your heart ran dry
with the locks wide open.
You severed the tows
without me knowing, knowing, knowing.
Your stay was brief
to settle issues left.
Of all those years
were 20 Minutes left.
A sweaty shake
of hands once soft and tender.
I take a deep breath
trying myself to center.
And I surrender!
And I surrender!
And I surrender!
And I surrender!
How to get by
with all the looming sorrow?
Is it silly to cry
about the heart I borrowed?
Your stay was brief
to settle issues left.
Of all those years
were 20 Minutes left.
A forced smile
of lips once soft and tender.
I take a deep breath
trying myself to center.
And I remember!
And I remember!
And I remember!
And I remember!
I can get up!
I can get up!
I can get up!
I can get up!
And I surrender!
And I surrender!
And I surrender!
And I surrender!
And I remember!
I can get up!
And I remember!
I can get up!
And I remember!
I can get up!
And I remember!

Get up and shoot for the next perfect day.
and then again Monday will come either way.
One never ever really knows these days
but I am real and not a ghost so far, far away.
I'm not that simple, girl.
Is this what you're thinking, girl?
It's not that simple, girl,
My head is spinning, girl.
The world is dragging me down so I think it could be you
who builds me up, being my sweet rescue.
Just a simple thought but I have no clue.
You don't even seem to care and lining up is what I do.
So I do, and I do, and I do, and I do,
So please, may I pick my number, too?
I'm not that simple, girl.
Is this what you're thinking, girl?
It's not that simple, girl,
My head is spinning, girl.
I'm not that simple, girl. (I never crossed the line.)
Is this what you're thinking, girl? (Am I wrong this time?)
It's not that simple, girl, (…to get you out of my mind.)
My head is spinning, girl.

Listen, Mister, I'm in a hurry
Can we settle this pretty soon?
I totally understand your worries,
I need to take this train at noon.
So many gloomy days were passing
And I want to leave this place right now.
She touched my heart forever,
I've got to save my soul somehow.
Cause it's a good, good life.
It's a good, good life.
It's still a good, good life.
I'd never meant to walk out,
But sometimes you need to get out...
When I travel with no destination
I cleanse my mind from grief.
The inner light is never changing
A charged heart needs some relieve.
These things make people weary,
these things make people moan,
are mostly secondary.
Don't compromise your soul.
It's a good, good life.
It's a good, good life.
It's still a good, good life.
What took me so long to realize?
Don't you dare to walk into my stride!
Once I saw a cheerful wedding
while the sun set down by the lake.
The band was rocking steady,
the evening's got late.
I'm sure these guys are getting lucky -
everyone should find a home.
She said: I'm tired of this routine, boy,
and gambled with my soul.
But it's a good, good life.
It's a good, good life.
It's still a good, good life.
And if it takes a million miles,
can't wait the ocean hits my eye!

Millstone Blues

When I was 23
this drunken man took me aside,
he said "Son, you better spread your wings and fly
'cause soon you're gonna die!
You can make a million, if you really want...
depends on you being a visionary or just a greedy cunt."
I'm 30 now,
still havin' a restless soul
I'm searchin', searching', searchin'
for some Rock'n'Roll.
Feels like my life gets stuck
I'm in the office now.
You never, never, never let them tie you down!
How can I fly? How can I fly
with a millstone in my heart and a tombstone on my mind?
Where would I be? Where would I be
with no money in my pockets, full of insecurity?
When I was 27
I was almost dead.
I went to California to blow my wary head.
I met some gentle people there, I told my bitch good-bye,
got a vision for my future, got a feeling for my life.
Then I came back home
started to waste my life.
Never, never tell me that I should be fine.
I'm feeling down again
havin' a restless soul.
I'm searchin', searching', searchin'
for some Rock'n'Roll.
How can I fly? How can I fly
with a millstone in my heart and a tombstone on my mind?
Where would I be? Where would I be
With no money in my pockets, full of insecurity?
Life ain't easy! Life ain't easy! Life ain't easy! Life ain't easy!
Life ain't easy! Life ain't easy! Life ain't easy! No-ooo!

Economy

The share of love
has more decreased
since we have merged in this
maelstrom of vanities
With these scarce words,
I guarantee,
you'll spot the bias in her rigged philosophy
The less it takes to get your way
the steeper fall your approval rates
Economy
Economy he he
Economy
Economy
I draw a line
On a blank sheet
One man's poison
the other man's meat
You're acting cool
and disagree,
You'd rather function
than to suceed
The age of waste will drown the freedom bell,
The sinking ark feeds our wishing well
Economy
Economy he he
Economy
Economy he he
Economy
The caravan keeps moving on
The caravan keeps moving on

Hit the highway
To feel relieved
The greatest choices
We’ve made when we were free
Turn on the radio
Head for the party zone
Light, sweat and rockin' bands
Bring it on and on and on
Until the day breaks
Let’s have a good time
You’re my hit girl
I just want to rock with you
The moon casts silver
On the ocean waves
Don’t mention Monday
I don’t want to leave this place
The stars are shining
Now come to mind
Here's a shot of Jaeger
Please leave all this mess behind
Until the day breaks
Let’s have a good time
You’re my hit girl
I just want to rock with you
Until the day breaks
Let’s have a good time
You’re my hit girl
I just want to rock with you
Clap your hands!
Dance…!
Until the day breaks
Let’s have a good time
You’re my hit girl
I just want to rock with you
Until the day breaks (Alright)
Let’s have a good time (Alright)
You’re my hit girl (Alright)
I just want to rock with you
Alright!

Dopamine
04:04

All addictive drugs release large amounts of dopamine in the brain. But so does good food, and drink, and sex, and social pleasure, and money. Everything you want releases dopamine and you want it because it releases dopamine. Things are important and valuable only if they activate your dopamine neurons.
If I could make a wish I would dream you back.
I do count the days back to the time we met.
I force myself to make it through the day.
I haven't heard from you. Is there anything to say?
Love, love, love.
A rush of dopamine.
The hope you're building up
comes from your childhood dreams.
Even if you cry and you try to turn back time
you're not the only one who lies awake tonight.
The paradise in me is now a wasted land.
A firestorm has raged which I don't understand.
Was there any chance? Or was it just in my head?
It's hard to rest my mind with that burden on my chest.
Even if you cry and you try to turn back time
you're not the only one who lies awake tonight.
Get back on the track!
Get back on the track!
Get back on the track!
Get back on the track!
Love, love, love.
A rush of dopamine.
The hope you're building up
comes from your childhood dreams.
Even if you cry and you try to turn back time
you're not the only one who lies awake tonight.
You keep on keeping' on.
You keep on keeping' on.
Get back on the track!
Get back on the track!
Get back on the track!

The sun hangs low
while dreams subside.
The night before you killed me twice.
It's not enough
you said and smiled
lighting a cold, cold flame deep inside.
I walk away now, I walk away now, walk away now,
walk away now.
I claimed the rich land of your crown
and tried to run your strongholds down.
Now minds have changed, what was it all about?
I have no choice but to back out
And sometimes silence will be loud.
Now minds have changed, what was it all about?
Walk away now, walk away now
Walk away now, walk away now,
walk away now.
You better save your mind, you better save your soul.
You gonna save your mind, you gonna save your soul.
