There’s a boy who never felt alone
And a girl who got no friends at all
There’s a man who never loved women
And a woman who never loved men
Oh, oh, the Brokenhearts Lake
Where you can find incomplete shapes
There’s a grandpa asking for time
And a grandma begging to die
There’s a wild three legged dog
And a crutch with no arms to rely on
Oh, oh, the Brokenhearts Lake
Where you can find incomplete shapes
Look at the writer unable to think
And here’s the pen allergic to ink
Here comes the needle suffering from aids
And the eunuch wanna get laid
Oh, oh, the Brokenhearts Lake
Where you can find incomplete shapes
The lost cosmonaut speaking with stars
And the lonely moon to big for bars
I knew a step who felt down the stairs
Next to a seat in a wheelchair
Oh, oh, the Brokenhearts Lake
Where you can find incomplete shapes

The Old Black River

We were kids
Hiding in a creek
Just tiny kids
Playing hide and seek
Running down the old black river
My back is cold and I feel the shiver
There’s a weird stone floating in the water
3, 2, 1,
I turn around, the world is bleak
Bended trees
Like old men wising, looking sick
Running down the old black river
My back is cold and I feel the shiver
There’s a weird stone floating in the water
Barking dog
And a frozen wind coming from the fog
Tim and Lou and Martin,
But Bill’s still missing, I can’t find him
Running down the old black river
My back is cold and I feel the shiver
There’s a weird stone floating in the water

I've been turning in a bowl
Round and round like a stone
And my soul is steal
Now
I've been skipping from stone to stone
In the park, all alone
Waiting for you to steal
My heart
But these days
Aren't over
When I feel like a stone in
Water
But these days
From October
When I feel like a stone in
Water
Falling leaves from the sky
And summer said goodbye
I feel spears in my back-
Spine
Oh it's late I see the stars
Watching me passing by
When I am leaving far far
Away
But these days
Aren't over
When I feel like a stone in
Water
But these days
From October
When I feel like a stone in
Water

Are you ?
Are you a runner ?
Cause I run to
Through wind and through fire
Are you ?
Are you a jumper ?
Cause I'll jump for you
In the black, cold water
I am
I am a swimmer to
And I won't drown
If I swim, I won't drown
Are you ?
Are you a swimmer to ?
You will drown
You stay still, you will drown
Are you ?
Are a dancer ?
Cause I dance to
And I won't let you fall
Are you ?
Are you a lover ?
Cause I'll love you
From January to December
I am
I am a swimmer to
And I won't drown
If I swim, I won't drown
But are you ?
Are you a swimmer to ?
You will drown
You stay still, you will drown
Are you
A stalker ?
Cause I am one
When I'm looking for you in the crowd of this town
And are you
A dreamer ?
Cause I am one
When I seek for the light while you hold me to the ground
And I know
That you're none of those things
And you've never been one.
Although,
It's a stone that you hold
And it's dragging you down.
I am
I am a swimmer
I won't drown
If I swim, I won't drown
Are you ?
No, you're not a swimmer
So you will drown
You stay still, you will drown.

Knock Knock
There's a knock on the wall
I've been sleeping for too long
I woke up my face on the floor,
I've been waiting all night long
Cold wine on my shiny shoes
and I never felt alone this way before
I dreamt about you all the night
that you'll come and never say goodbye
There's a motel by the road
where the rooms are full of ghosts
Where boys like me can go
and see how life can be worse
Moans and fears, well
the beds are sinking sand
And the walls are spears when
they're hitting in my head
Well it's time for me to go
I miss mother and my friends
I'll go for a walk
from the darkness to the land
This is the sad story of
an heartbreaked man
who spend a life crawling
but now he chose to stand.

Weird girl from outer space
I've known you for two days
But you're stuck inside my head
Forever, and ever
Forever, and ever
Like that awful song that I heard
This morning on the radio
Keep turning round and round in my head
Forever, and ever
Forever, and ever
I spent two days out of the Limbo
Dancing, laughing on the dancefloor
I keep staring at the back of your head
Forever, and ever
Forever, and ever
Two glasses on the floor
Are the last things from you in my memory
The souvenir of a ghost
Who changed my day and changed me maybe
Forever, and ever
Forever, and ever
Forever, and ever
Forever, and ever
