Mr.Shuffle 03:48
If you’re sittin’ home alone and you need some rhythm Here comes a man… better known as Mr.Shuffle And he says “I ain’t gonna mess with n.2’s, ‘cose n.1 they learn in my school” “If you don’t believe a word, check and see, check on yourself..I’m the best player in the world!” Shuffle is a man with a guitar in his hand He says that r’n’r is a usless thing He’s friend with this and that because of his act Some say he even knows the president Someone stole his equipment but he’s still n.1 Sooner or later Mr.Shuffle’s gonna conquer the world How come he’s so alone? And if you ring his bell you fall under a spell Shook a lot of hands and got stories to tell Enter in his car you’ll feel like a star He ain’t got no license but he could go far ‘Cose the officer’s a friend, he even makes amends And nobody fucks with Mr.Shuffle anyway… So How come he’s so alone? If you’re sittin’ home alone, and watch a stupid poster on the wall….

I don’t deserve any of the things that I’ve got I don’t deserve any of the things that I wish for You make me walk, you make me crawl You got me down on my knees Still, I don’t deserve that you put your eye on me Your time is money and I’m so incomplete You got your masterplan and I feel like a thief I’m stuck inside of your box and I don’t have the key… set me free You got me hanging on a phone You got me criyng all alone I keep on looking in your direction babe And since I don’t know…… (why?) It’s just a long time You got a mystical heart I don’t deserte what I’ve got I think that I deserve all of the things that are out of reach Must be a karmic thing Must be the turning of the wheel You don’t know what you got until you loose it But you play with fire until you burn Still, I don’t deserve that you put your eye on me Your time is money and I’m so incomplete You got your masterplan and I feel like a thief I’m stuck inside of your box and I don’t have the key… set me free

I flip the coin to see my chances And she stares at me like I’m some kind of alien… Somethin’ very innocent to say, about the weather or whatever sticks to my mind…now it’s time! Say wassup’ girl, how come you’re all alone? She says nothing but I know that she would be mine I offer her some cigarette and she turns her head Little by little, she’s drivin’ me insane I don’t want to give it up I don’t want to say goodbye By the end of evening the girl is mine…now it’s time! And I say hey girl, I know you like latinos, Well I’m “RUDY” reborn! Hey girl, I know you like tattoos and I have a little dragon that keeps away the blues Let me show it to you… There’s a woman on the bench and soon she will learn my name ‘Cose love never failed me yet And I think that I need some respect I don’t want to give it up ecc…

Girl on a pedestal, I know what’s on your mind Jaws about to drop another time Your point is clear so is your deal There’s no stop from now Days of youth are waiting… take a bow Girl, is your love in vain or your lover in a frame So afraid to call things by their name Where’s the news when you start all over We’re waitin’ for a curse when you smile and fool around Where’s the news when you start all over Well put on a warm cover, it’s time to forget Girl on a pedestal I know your next bold move This is your happy hour and you have no time to loose Come on little sister, time’s a little blister on your fingertip Life is a sweet and sour trip and you know a couple of tricks Girl on a pedestal, I know what’s on your mind Jaws about to drop another time Where’s the news when you start all over We’re waitin’ for a curse when you smile and fool around Where’s the news when you start all over Well put on a warm cover, and start to look around Start to look around

An eye for an eye and a thoot for a thoot You give all yourself, and you gotta loose Well you know my brother, it’s not news You have to pretend to be their best friend When everyone knows to play the game Well you know my brother, it’s not news See them on walk of fame They got money&women And now you wanna feel the same An eye for an eye and a thoot for a thoot They give you the cards but you don’t know the rules Well you know my brother, it’s not news See them on walk of fame They got money&women And now you wanna feel the same See all those people 24/7 Good sheeps in queue to get tikets for heaven And you know that no one’s gonna find a cure for them blues See them on walk of fame…

I still rember that room and my feeling for you I still remeber that fear You had cold hands, I just flew I still rember that look in your eyes Telling me that after all it was no surprise Although I never take that for granted, I’ve been locked in a maze with all my ignorance I do trashed what’s inside of you, I did not understand That I owe you everything…and love must be somethin’ hid within Is this the end of the line? Or is it just a useless try? You called the tune you paid the piper You knew it, yes you knew it all the time I still rember that room and my feeling for you No, I’ll never take it for granted, and I know about deliverance But I’ll keep on telling you, there’s no need to an end Cose you know I owe you everything… but love must be somethin’ hid within

Bright,Slow 03:57
Now that you are miles away You’d left me alone with the devil I’m sinking in the snow I can’t find a steady job Tried to write a novel But in the end I’m seein’ double I need a comfort word I think that I’ll pick up the phone Don’t tell me to stay because I got my eyes glued to the door And I’m concentrating calculating on the best way to get home Now there’s a lot of people talkin’ and a stinkin’ crowded room With Jesus on their mouth And a big collection of clues Don’t send me no letters babe I can’t read too good This trial is a fake And the whole world knows I’m guilty But it was you who stabbed me in the back It was you who told me to relax It was you to say this isn’t a dawn On any given Sunday we are coming down In this long way to spring and I’m wandering It was cold the other day when I was waiting in the hall All I did was thikin about you naked but it didn’t get much warm Gotta head of troubles and I gotta face the whole afternoon I need a confort word, my hope hangs at the phone But it was you who stabbed me in the back It was you who told me to relax It was you to say this is the end of nothing It’s the world who calls us into something Is it a long space to fill? Well I’m still wandering…

I saw you with a glass in your hand When you’re off from work your real job begins You should have told me that this was your mission No stupid lies for me to listen I should have told you where I’m coming from I come from the land where what you do is wrong The bartender knows what to do He’s not the only one who’s lookin for soul food And everybody stares into eyes of green They’re talkin ‘bout work but their thoughts are obscene So when you swallow the next olive and you smile with self-confidence A voice in your head keeps repeating : Dont’ be surprised if one day you’ll find… poison in your drink poison in your drink poison in your drink I saw you… you had power in your hands You’re a goddes with a cigarette Figernails are shining back Well keep on blowing minds with ambition You’re still in time to learn about submission Such an ipnotist, but in the end nobody remembers your name Ask yourself about that The bartender knows what to do He’s not the only one who’s lookin for soul food And everybody stares into eyes of green They’re talkin ‘bout work but their thoughts are obscene So when you swallow the next olive and you smile with self-confidence A voice in your head keeps repeating : Dont’ be surprised if one day you’ll find… poison in your drink poison in your drink poison in your drink
