Nightboat

Standing on the edge of a quay
Low lights flashing on the water for me
Fogging my mind darkens my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

I’m waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
I’m waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Shudders all through me shudder away
Echo me, echo me
Am I alone or is the river alive
‘Cause it echos me, echos me, echos me

I’m waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oat
I’m waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oat
I’m waiting
Waiting for the night bo-oh-oat
Waiting for the night bo-oat whooo!
I’m waiting
Waiting for the night boat

I’m waiting for the night boat

Black Moonlight

We are on procession with the crucial, with the wild
Taken in possession by the music and beguiled

Hold tight
We’re going out tonight
Under the black moonlight
Move till we’re out of sight
Into the black moonlight

Riding on the rhythm of the drama on the wall
Fire of desire paints your shadow ‘gainst the wall

Hold tight
We’re going out tonight
Under the black moonlight
Dance till we’re out of sight
Into the black moonlight
Alive in the dead of night
Under the black moonlight
Waving it all goodbye
Into the black moonlight

Dark magic, imagine
The shameless attraction
In passion
Win everything

Hold tight
We’re going out tonight
Under the black moonlight
Move till we’re out of sight
Into the black moonlight
(Dark magic, imagine)
Alive in the dead of night
(The shameless attraction)
Under the black moonlight
(Resetting the fashion)
Waving it all goodbye
(Forgetting some passion)
Into the black moonlight

(Under the moonlight) (dark magic, imagine)
We’re going out tonight
(We’re goin’ out yes) (the shameless attraction)
Under the black moonlight
(Under the moonlight) (resetting the fashion)
Dance till we’re out of sight
(We’re goin’ out yes) (forgetting some passion)
Into the black moonlight
(Under the moonlight) (dark magic, imagine)
Alive in the dead of night
(We’re goin’ out yes) (the shameless attraction)
Under the black moonlight
(Under the moonlight) (resetting the fashion)
Waving it all goodbye
(We’re goin’ out yes) (forgetting)
Into the…

Love Voudou

Whoo hoo hoo hoooo hooo

When I first met you on the roof
You caught me in your web of youth
But now I know the wicked truth
It’s much too late so what’s the use in fighting?

You peel me like an onion skin
And wonder at the state I’m in
One day you’ll turn up to begin
And find there’s nothing left but innuendo

Beside you others fade away
Like amateurs in love’s charade
Much more than just a game you play
These certain rules become a way of living

Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voudou
Designed to manipulate

The queen of sensuality
You shelter me from liberty
It’s nothing short of piracy
That’s not to say it doesn’t please me sometimes

Now this may come as no surprise
But I’m content to compromise
Until the day you realize
That I have been manipulating you… manipulated

Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voudou
Designed to manipulate

Ahh aahh aaahh ahhh ahhha ahhh

Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voudou
Designed to manipulate

Night after night I try to prove
That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voudou
Designed to manipulate

Tied up inside your love voudou

Bury A Friend

What do you want from me?
Why don’t you run from me?
What are you wondering?
What do you know?
Why aren’t you scared of me?
Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Say it, spit it out, what is it exactly
You’re payin’? Is the amount cleanin’ you out? Am I satisfactory?
Today, I’m thinkin’ about the things that are deadly
The way I’m drinkin’ you down
Like I wanna drown, like I wanna end me

Step on the glass, staple your tongue
Bury a friend, try to wake up
Cannibal class, killing the son
Bury a friend, I wanna end me

What do you want from me?
Why don’t you run from me?
What are you wondering?
What do you know?
Why aren’t you scared of me?
Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Keep you in the dark, what had you expected?
Me to make you my art and make you a star and get you connected?
I’ll meet you in the park, I’ll be calm and collected
But we knew right from the start that you’d fall apart ’cause I’m too expensive

It’s probably somethin’ that shouldn’t be said out loud
Honestly, I thought that I would be dead by now
Calling security, keepin’ my head held down
Bury the hatchet or bury a friend right now

The debt I owe, gotta sell my soul
‘Cause I can’t say no, no, I can’t say no
Then my limbs all froze and my eyes won’t close
And I can’t say no, I can’t say no
Careful

Step on the glass, staple your tongue
Bury a friend, try to wake up
Cannibal class, killing the son
Bury a friend

What do you want from me?
Why don’t you run from me?
What are you wondering?
What do you know?
Why aren’t you scared of me?
Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

Supernature

Once upon a time
Science opened up the door
We would feed the hungry fields
Till they couldn’t eat no more
But the potions that we made
Touched the creatures down below
And they grew up in a way
That we’d never seen before

Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature

They were angry with the man
‘Cause he changed their way of life
And they take their sweet revenge
As they trample through the night
For a hundred miles or more
You can hear the people cry
But there’s nothing you can do
Even God is on their side

Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature

(Supernature) Better watch out
There’s no way to stop it now
You can’t escape, it’s too late
Look what you’ve done:
There’s no place that you can run
The monsters made, we must pray

Supernature, better watch out!
Supernature, Look at you now
Supernature, better watch out!
Supernature,Look at you now!

Danse Macabre

Halloween girl seize the fray
Brothers and sisters lead the way
Shackled to the rhythm, your soul is weighed
So you better get down on your knees and pray

Comin’ out for the Hawsker mad bull
Jumpin on the hot seat, lyin’ in the deadpool
Delivery quick, expensive mistake
The damage, the damage, the damage, the damage

Hey, no way
Some ghost drivin’ an AC Cobra
Auto-da-fé
Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre
Hey, no way
I had you down for the cat’s pajamas
Auto-da-fé
Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre

If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine

Heaven sake, don’t blow your karma
Liberate your Danse Macabre

Zombie in the bathroom, nuns in the bed
Kiss a kiss make up, toastin’ the bread
An Elvis’ moans, an old natty dread
With death in the living room, offering her head

Are you watching, are you watching
Collars and chains and gold star matching
Kamikaze stag dude twist and shout
At Sudan Archives on a girls night out

Hey, no way
Some ghost drivin’ an AC Cobra
Auto-da-fé
Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre
Hey, no way
I had you down for the cat’s pajamas
Auto-da-fé
Get dirty up on the Danse Macabre

If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine

If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine

(Heaven sake, don’t blow your karma)
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine
(Liberate your Danse Macabre)
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine
(Heaven sake, don’t blow your karma)
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine
(Liberate your Danse Macabre)
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind, if you don’t mind
If you don’t mind diggin down the gold mine

Secret Oktober 31st

Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence
Sh…
Lies on a stranger’s bed
The new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Never expected, but never knocking
Holding your own in a battered car
All night parties, cocktail bars and smile
When the butterfly escapes the killing jar

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

Freefall on a windy morning shore
Nothing but a fading track of footsteps
Could prove that you’d ever been there
Spoken on a cotton cloud
Like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind
And lost in distant thunder
Racing on a shining plain
And tomorrow you’ll be content to watch
As the lightning plays along the wires and you’ll wonder

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

Ghost Town

This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won’t play no more
Too much fighting on the dance floor

Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown

This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can’t go on no more, the people getting angry

This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town

Paint It Black

I see a red door
I say paint it black
No color in my life
So just turn it black

I see the girls walking by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I’m gonna turn my head
‘Til the darkness goes

I see this line of cars
And they’re all painted black
Dead flowers and my love
Both never to come back

You people turn your heads
Quick now, look away
Like a newborn baby
Is that just happens everyday

I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black

Maybe then, I’ll fade away
And not face the facts
It’s not easy facing up
When your whole world is black

No more will my deep sea shades
A deeper blue
Maybe now this dark thing
Will start happening to you

If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
My love be laughin’ at me
Before the morning comes

I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted
Painted, painted black, yeah

Super Lonely Freak

Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red
And when the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me
I’ll be your homing angel I’ll be in your head

Because you’re lonely in your nightmare let me in
And there’s heat beneath your winter let me in

I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground when all around you earth turns to fire
Only get a second chance when danger’s on the wind

Because you’re lonely in your nightmare let me in
Because there’s heat beneath your winter let me in
And it’s silent out on your stone field let me in

She’s a very kinky girl
The kind you don’t take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the streets
She likes the boys in the band
She says that I’m her all-time favourite
When I make my move to her room, it’s the right time
She’s never hard to please, oh no

That girl is pretty wild now
(The girl’s a super freak)
The kind of girl you read about
(In new-wave magazines)
That girl is pretty kinky
(The girl’s a super freak)
I really love to taste her
(Every time we meet)
She’s alright, she’s alright
That girl’s alright with me, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

She’s a super freak, super freak
She’s super-freaky, yow
Everybody sing
Super freak, super freak
Hey

She’s a super freak, super freak
She’s super-freaky, yow
She’s a super freak, super freak
She’s super-freaky, yow now
She’s a super freak, super freak
She’s super-freaky, yow
She’s a super freak, super freak

Spellbound

From the cradle bars
Comes a beckoning voice
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound

Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound
Spellbound, spellbound, ooh-ooh
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound, spellbound

And don’t forget when your elders forget
To say their prayers
Take ’em by the legs
And throw them down the stairs

When you think your toys
Have gone berserk
It’s an illusion
You cannot shirk

You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound

Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound
Spellbound, spellbound, ooh-ooh
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound, spellbound, spellbound

Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Entranced, entranced
Entranced, entranced
Entranced, entranced

Psycho Killer (Feat. Victoria De Angelis)

I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me, I’m a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh

Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ay-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, ooh

You start a conversation, you can’t even finish it
You’re talking a lot, but you’re not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh

Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ay-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ce que j’ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire, okay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they’re not polite

Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh

Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ai-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, ooh

Confession In The Afterlife

These are words fallen from fire
Ashes on the river tide
Into love there will be a pathway
And I will see you on the other side
Stories like the evening stars are showing up
In that light, yeah, it’s alright, whatever fills your cup

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Confession
In the afterlife

Even eyes painted on [?] see everything you leave behind
Once beholden, always forgotten
Upon this blameless sea of never mind
Secrets woken, hurt nobody you’ll be sure
With malice broke when nothing really matters anymore

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Confession
In the afterlife

Oh, confession
Confession
In the life

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Confession (Confession)
In the afterlife

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Confession (Confession)
In the afterlife

Evil Woman

Ha, ha
Ha, ha
Ha, ha
Ha, ha

Hey, woman, you got the blues
‘Cause you ain’t got no one else to use
There’s an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there
There’s a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it’s a cryin’ shame
But you ain’t got nobody else to blame

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hard to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin’ in a daze
Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do?
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It’s so good that you’re feelin’ pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train (train)

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman

Evil woman, how you done me wrong
But now you’re tryin’ to wail a different song
Ha, ha, funny, how you broke me up
You made the wine, now you drink a cup
I came runnin’ every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin’ in your eyes
Ha, ha, very nice to know
That you ain’t got no place left to go

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman

New Moon (Dark Phase)

You shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again but could I please rephrase it?
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer
But I’ll wait till you decide

Send me your warning sirens
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna
I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite

Breaking away with the beast in both worlds
A smile that you can’t disguise
In every minute, I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Spare me from these reminders
As if I’d forget tonight
This time La Luna
I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite

I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite

New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite

New moon on Monday
New moon on Monday
New moon on Monday
