-CARNIVAL-

I will never know
cause you will never show
come on and love me now
come on and love me now

Carnival came by my town today
bright lights from giantwheels
fall on the alleyways
and I’m here
by my door
wating for you

I will never know
cause you will never show
come on and love me now
come on and love me now

I here sounds of lovers
barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
down there
just to make you mine
in a merry-go-round

The Blower’s Daughter

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes…

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We’ll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower’s daughter
The pupil in denial

I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes…

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind off you
I can’t take my mind…
My mind…my mind…
‘Til I find somebody new

KNOW-HOW

Riding on this know-how. Never been here before.

Peculiarly entrusted, possibly that’s ‘all!

Is history recorded? Does someone have a tape?

Surely, I’m no pioneer, constellations stay the same.

Just little bit of danger, when intriguingly, our little secret, trust that you trust me.

‘Cause no one will ever know, that this was happening.

So tell me why you listen, when nobody’s talking.

What is there to know?

All this is what is it.

You and me alone – sheer simplicity.

TWENTY YEARS

There are twenty years to go
And twenty ways to know
Who will wear,
Who will wear
The hat.

There are twenty years to go,
The best of all I hope.
Enjoy the ride, the medicine show.

And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
We need to concentrate on more then meets the eye.

There are twenty years to go,
The faithful and the low.
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone.
There are twenty years the go,
The punch drunk and the blow.
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone.

And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
We need to concentrate on more then meets the eye.
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.
But it’s you I take ’cause your the truth not I.

There are twenty years to go.
A golden age I know.
But all will pass, will end to fast, you know.

There are twenty years to go,
And many friends I hope.
Though some may hold the rose some hold the rope.

And that’s the end and that’s the start of it.
That’s the whole and that’s the part of it.
That’s the high and that’s the heart of it.
That’s the long and that’s the short of it.
That’s the best and that’s the test in it.
That’s the doubt, the doubt,
The trust in it.
That’s the sight and that’s the sound of it.
That’s the gift and that’s the trick in it.

You’re the truth not I.
