Dead Dog on a Highway
03:44
|

Like a dead dog on a highway
Like a dead dog I'm hanging around
Won't you stop and pick me up
Dig me a deep hole in the ground
Wrap me in white linnen
That your mother used to wear
On the day you were born
Once I was a baby, once I was a baby dog, too
Like a dead dog on a highway
And the big trucks passing by
Won't you put my little body down
Cover it with boulders out of light
Kiss away the dread and blood
And comb my fur and straighten the broken tail
It was dancing up and down
While I was going down the highway
Like a dead dog on a highway
Like a dead dog I'm hanging around
Won't you stop and pick me up
Dig me a deep hole in the ground
Wrap me in white linnen
That your mother used to wear
On the day you were born
Once I was a baby, once I was a baby dog, once I was a baby dog, too (wuff)
Like a dead dog on a highway
And the big trucks passing by
Won't you put my little body down
Cover it with boulders out of light
Wrap me in white linnen
That your mother used to wear
On the day you were born
I'm going down the highway
I'm going down the highway
Till I die, oh, till I die

Kingdom It Will Come
03:42
|

Right from the peak I'm going down down down
I found another way to live
And the whole world's turning round round round
You see me dancing in the street
An iron hall it's full of Light
And all the people that once died
They are dancing & having fun
They know the Kingdom it will come
Ah, dead babies singing in the sky
A song of marshmallow & applie-pie
Ah, there's no way to put them down
I see them dancing through the town
A killer's waiting in the wood
He doesn' care if you're bad or good
You'll be dancing in the streets with him
If there's no way there is no sin
#VERSE
And hairy truckers on the Highway
They drop their clothes all away
They are dancing naked in the sun
They know the Kingdom it will come
Ah, dead babies singing in the sky
A song of marshmallow & applie-pie
Ah, there's no way to put them down
I see them dancing through the town
And all you people full of bones
With flesh & blood that you not own
Your borrowed bodies they'll go down down down
And you'll be dancing through the town
And if you tell me it's not true
Well I could say the same to you
How can you tell that what you're hanging on
Will it be real if Kingdom comes?
Ah, dead babies singing in the sky
A song of marshmallow & applie-pie
Ah, there's no way to put them down
I see them dancing through the town
I see them dancing through the town

Tella Me Lord
04:01
|

My Brother, my brother, so selfish such pride
You went to the station in the middle of the night
Scaring the maidens
Scare them to death
My Brother, my brother, I can see it in your eyes
You were at the station in the middle of the night
& I wonder what shall I do
Shall I tell what's the truth?
WHAT IN THE WORLD SHOULD A POOR BOY FULFILL
WHAT WOULD BE DOING GOD'S WILL?
TELLA ME LORD WHAT A TOO SHALL I BE
A CAN IN THE HEAT OR A WASHING MACHINE
A CROWN ON THE HEAD OR A KNIFE IN THE BREAD
OH, WHAT SHALL I BE?
My Sister, my sister, so helpless so shy
He kicked you in the belly, one day you must die
& you take your little bag
& then you go back
My Sister, my sister, so helpless so dumb
I could sing I could write
I could say what I want
You will follow your way
Till it's to late
WHAT IN THE WORLD...
My Mother, my mother, too heartless to sigh
You went to the station got something to fry
What you have in you pan, mother
Is it sister is it brother?
My mother, my mother, now what shall I do
Shall I slay you with the pan
Or have a dinner with you?
It's not easy to decide
It's so hard to realize
WHAT IN THE WORLD...

Merchandise Song
04:39

I am ramblin'
I'm rambling from town to town
With some car trunk full of merch and songs
And behind some curtain in the night
There are some red lips fair and bright
But next morning well I have to leave
To another town
To another town
To sell some more T-shirts and CDs
I am rambling from town to town
With this car trunk full of merch and songs
If you see me coming here around
Come and buy I won't stay here for long
I could not stay with any signorina (signorina)
Though she's just so pretty and so nice
I only need some coffee and gasolina (gasolina)
To reach next city with my merchandise
I left a girl she's crying in Chicago
I left a girl she's crying in Tennessee
I left a girl she's crying in Mezzago
If you don't know that is in Italy
I wanna sing a song for you 'bout Jesus (Jesus)
I wanna sing a song 'bout heaven's grace
I'm sorry if I don't sing with the ladies (ladies)
Only leave them a button with my face
I don't wanna drink their beer nor whiskey (whiskey)
I don't want to take your LSD
I just want to travel the next city (city)
Try to sell more T-Shirts and CD
I left a girl she's crying in Chicago
I left a girl she's crying in Tennessee
I left a girl she's crying in Mezzago
If you don't know that is in Italy
And when I'll go to Heaven sooner or later (later)
That's the day when I will know and see
When I gonna meet and ask my maker (maker)
if he want some T-shirts or CDs
I left a girl she's crying in Chicago
I left a girl she's crying in Tennessee
I left a girl she's crying in Schleswig-Holstein
If you don't know that is in Germany (woohoo)
I left a girl she's crying in Chicago
I left a girl she's crying in Tennessee
I left a girl she's crying in Mezzago
If you don't know that is in Italy

WTC in Heaven
03:38

Well some said it was Mohammad Atta
Well some said that it was the CIA
Well I asked myself where was Jesus
Three-thousand were killed that day
Is there a World Trade Center in heaven
Is there a World Trade Center in the sky
Is there a World Trade Center in heaven
Where the birds & the fishes flying by
Well last night I met Jesus in heaven
He kindly took my hand
And he led me to cloud fourty-seven
And showed me where the World Trade Center stands
There's a World Trade Center in heaven
There's a World Trade Center in the sky
There's a World Trade Center in heaven
Where the birds & the fishes flying by
Well I walked through the clouds glanced and wondered about
All the walls like glooming black gold
And the traders are trading as they ever used to trade
Now in heaven they're trading their own souls
There's a World Trade Center in heaven
There's a World Trade Center in the sky
There's a World Trade Center in heaven
Where the birds & the fishes flying by

Stairs Stairs Stairs

Stairs stairs stairs
Where I hauled my burden up
Stairs stairs stairs
Where I hauled my burden up
Ev'rywhere
I found some stairs to haul my burden up
Up and down the stairs
I pulled more burden just this year
than Jesus did
Bound bound bound
To my burden I am bound
Down down down
It's my burden draggin' me down
I love my burden
Even if it's draggin' me down
Up and down the stairs
I pulled more burden just this year
than Jesus did
On the day that he died
Lord Lord Lord
Help me let my burden go
Lord Lord Lord
Grant me the strenght to let it go
I need no burden
I need no bag and no burden when I die
I need no burden
I need no bag and no burden when I die
Ev'ry trime I lost a burden
Achin' but it was bracing me for death
Ev'ry trime I lost a burden
Achin' but it was bracing me for death
For the day that I die

The Party
04:18
|
|||
Ah once I woke up in a misty room
Worn out pillows, a broken broom
And I wonder where it was and what should should I do there
Dead sure I've never been there before
So I stood up stepped up to the stairs
Crazy people running anywhere
Well I disliked their smell didn't like their tatoos
They had no faces they had no shoes
I searched my pocket, no ticket nor bill
And I got nervous if I ever will
Find out where I am and what I should do
If this is a game please tell me the rules
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come
Another room, king size bed
Chains on my leg, new TV set
A bunch of old friends jumped in and they talked
About people and places I couldn't recall
A little little boy I walked upstairs
A little little girl with yellow hair
A little little while we walked side by side
And then she vanished into the night
I saw the lights of a falling plane
Then it went dark and I searched in vain
If there's an exit an hole some way to get out of here
If this is a party, please don't give me no beer, no no no
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come
Again I woke up, a sunny room
It's all so clean, a brand new broom
But still I wondered where it was and what should I do there
Dead sure I've never been here before
Again I stood up, did I loose my religion?
All shoes and faces they came out of the kitchen
And I said to myself, grim to the bone
If this is a kingdom I would claim for the throne, yeah yeah yeah
I broke the door,I crashed out the windows
Out with the broom, out with the pillows
Stop talking bullshit, all you fools
This is my game, I gonna tell you the rules, yeah
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come
No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come

Well I walk into the bar room
And I play some rusty gospel tunes
But the people they don't understand
They are waiting for a rock'n'roll band
But the ladies they do scream and shout
When I tell them what it's all about
Stop your boozing and open your ear
Praise the Lord, water is the new beer
Now you people see for what I'm sent
I'm a keller gospel one man band
Guess Sid Vicious he's doing well
Heaven's darkroom or lighthouse of hell
But the 80ties they're all dead and gone
Sex and drugs ain't gonna be no fun
Now the time has come for new rock'n'roll
For the gospel trumpet swing and blow

Ganz war ich nie
03:25

Ich hab mir heute in die Hand geschnitten
Ich hab nicht gelitten, ich kann mich nicht entscheiden
Ich hab mir heute in die Zunge gebissen
Es hat geblutet, ich wollts nicht vermeiden
Ich hab mir heute ein Bein ausgerissen
Ich werd es vermissen, aber ganz war ich eh nie
Ganz war nie
Ganz war ich eh nie
Ganz war ich nie
Ich werd mir wieder in die Suppe spucken
Ich kann nicht länger in den Spiegel gucken
Wer hat mir bloß so ins Gehirn geschissen?
Ich seh mich gern leiden aber kann mich nicht entscheiden
Heute hab ich Risse, heut habe ich Dellen
Ich werd mich heute abend an die Mauer stellen
Ganz war nie
Ganz war ich eh nie
Ganz war ich nie
Ich hab mir heute in die Hand geschnitten
Ich hab nicht gelitten, ich kann mich nicht entscheiden
Ich hab mir heute in die Zunge gebissen
Es hat geblutet, ich wollts nicht vermeiden
Ich hab mir heute ein Bein ausgerissen
Ich werd es vermissen, aber ganz war ich eh nie

Waiting at the Turnpike
04:02
|

I was waiting for my mama
I was waiting at the bar
I was waiting at the chapel
I was waiting for my pa
I am waiting at the window
I am waiting at the door
I am waiting on the ceiling
I am waiting on the floor
I am waiting at the turnpike
Waiting for my life to change
Now as long as I am waiting
Just one day it'll be to late
I am waiting for redemption
For the deeds that I have done
I am waiting at the turnpike
But redemption never comes
I was waiting at the station
I kept waiting to get paid
Waiting for some inspiraton
Just one day it'll be too late
I am waiting for a cigarette
I am waiting for a beer
I am waiting for a moment
I am waiting for a year
I am waiting to get sick of
All the things that I don't need
I am waiting to ged rid of
To get rid of all my deeds
I am waiting at the turnpike
Waiting for my life to change
Now as long as I am waiting
Just one day it'll be to late
I am waiting for redemption
For the deeds that I have done
I am waiting at the turnpike
But redemption never comes
Und ich warte auf der strasse
Und ich wart wohl auf den Bus
Und ich wart moch etwas länger.
Bis ich endlich sterben muss
I am waiting for my mama
I am waiting at the bar
I am waiting at the chapel
I am waiting for my pa
