BLACK MARKET MUSIC

01 - TASTE IN MEN


Come back to me a while
Change your style again
Come back to me a while
Change your Taste in men
It´s been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled , Doused in gin
I´m killing Time on Valentine`s
Waiting for the day to end
Change your taste in men



02 - DAYS BEFORE YOU CAME


Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Towns that change their Name
and a Horn of Plenty
days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack - Cocain
Couldn´t start to hide me

Days before you came
It always seemed enticing
To be naked and profane
There is no denying
Days before you came
Thunderbolt and Lightning
Each day a brand new vein
Each tourniquet colliding

Won´t you Join me now
Baby´s looking torn and frayed
Join the Masqquerade
Won´t you Join me now
Baby´s looking to get laid
Join the Masquerade

I didn´t want you anyway



03 - SPECIAL K


Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just a Leitmotif
More Chaotic , No relief
I´ll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never Heal
Can this saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation , No Delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation , No Delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you´re back with dope demand
I´m on sinking sand

Gravity
No escaping Gravity
Not for free
I fall down
Hit the gRound
Make a heavy sound
Every Time you seem to come around

I`ll describe the way I feel
You´re my new achille´s heel
can this saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal ?



04 - SPITE AND MALICE


Aces take your time
Queens are left for dead
jacks can stand in Line
And touch themselves instead
Aces take your pity
And keep it warm in bed
Aces take your time

Cut the deck
The Queens left for dead
Soft and Wet
Scarf tied to the bed
jack is all Tragic when he stands alone
Feeling demonic harmonic
And in No - Go - Zone
You look well suited

Like you came to win
Lust , Spite and Malice
Your degrees of sin
Cruisin for pity
And looking as pretty as fuck
Ace take your time
Cause Queen wish you luck

Aces take your time
Draw your final breath
Jacks are feeling fine
They´ve clubbed themselves to death
Aces take ypur pity
And sleep with it instead
Aces take your time

You can play your card
I´ll hold on to mine
Tied up in the Reasons
Ace take your Time
Looks turn to Lovers
Flames into fires
Jack loves his tragedy
Queen her desires
You look well suited
Like you came to win
Lust , Spite and Malice
Your degrees of sin
Wrap me in your Trauma
And I might Just give you mine
Queen take your changes
Ace take your time

Dope , Guns , Fucking in the Streets , Revolution

Everything will blow Tonight
Either friend or ror tonight



05 - PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE


I´ts in your Reach
Concentrate

If you deny this
Then it´s your fault
That god´s in crisis

He´s over
Every Time I rise
I see your falling
Can you find me space
Inside your bleeding heart
It falls apart 

 

06 - BLACK EYED


I was never faithfull
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining Schizo
And Guarantateed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure Zone
I´m forever Black Eyed
A product of a broken Home

I was never faithfull
And I was never want to trust
Borderlining Bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never Gratefull
Thaty why I spend my days alone
I´m forever Black Eyed
A product of a broken home


07 - BLUE AMERICAN


I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds Pretentious
But it´s true
I wrote this novel just for you
That´s why It´s vulgar
That´s why it`s blue

And I say
Thank you

I wrote this novel just for mum
For all the Mommy things she´s done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the time she sang god´s song

And I say
Thank you , Mom
Hello Mom
Thank you , Mom
Hi Mom

I read a book about uncle tom
Where a whitey bastard made a bomb
But now ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got is wrong

And I ask
Who is uncle Tom ?
You are

I read a book about the self
said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head
Create some wealth
Put my Neurosis on the shelf
But i don´t care for myself
I don´t care

I wrote this novel just for you
I´m so pretendious
Yes it´s true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you


08 - SLAVE TO THE WAGE


Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom
And wave your worries
And cares goodbey
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts
A little Vision
To wave your worries
And cares goodbey

Sick and tired of Maggie´s Farm
She´s a bitch with broken arms

It´s a maze for rats to try
And it´s a race for rats to die
Run away


09 - COMMERCIAL FOR LEVI


You´re the one who´s always choking trojan
You´re the one who´s always Bruised and broken
Sleep may be the enemy
But so´s another line
It´s a remedy
You should take more time

You´re the one who´s always choking trojan
You`re the one who´s shower´s always golden
Spunk and Bestiality
Well , its an Assissi lie
It´s ahead of me
You should close your fly

I understand the fascination
The dream that comes alive at night
But if you don´t change your situation
Then you´ll die
Don´t die
please don´t die

You´re the one who´s always chokin trojan
You´re the one who´s always bruised and broken
Drunk on immortality
Valium and cherry wine
Coke and Ecstasy
You´re gonna blow your mind

I understand the fascination
I´ve been there once or twice or more
But if you don´t change your situation
Then you´ll die
Don´t die
Please don´t die


10 - HAEMOGLOBIN


I was hanging from a tree
unaccustomed to such violence
jesus looking down on me
I`m Prepared for one bis silence
How´d I ever end up here
must be through some lack of kindness
Then it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy Heartbeat

At the time they cut me free
I was briming with defiance
Doctors looking down on me
Breaking every law of science
how´d I ever end up here
A latent strain of color blindness
Then it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy Heartbeat

As they dragged me to my feet
I was filled with Incoherence
theories of conspiracy :
The whole world wants my disappearance
I´ll go fighting mail and teeth
You´ve never seen such perseverance
going to make you scared of me
cause haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

And now my feet don´t touch the ground


11 - NARCOLEPTIC


Slip and stumble at my first offences
Ít´s not treason
It´s no lie
You talk in paragraphs
I write my sentence
It´s not treason
It´s no lie

Crush and stumnble under your deffences
It`s not treason
It´s no lie
You frame the photograph
I sit on fences
change your season
Love can die

It seemed a place for us to dream

You´d better keep it in check
Or you´ll end up a wreck
And you´ll never wake up
Wake up.



12 - PEEPING TOM


I´m carefull not to fall
I have to climb your wall
Cause you´re the one
Who makes me feel
Much taller than you are
I´m just a pepping Tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

The face that fills the hole
that stole my broken soul
The one that makes me seem to feel
much taller than you are
I´m just a pepping Tom
On my own for far too long
Troubles with the gear
Nothing left to fear

With every bet I lost
And every trick I tossed
You´re still the one who makes me feel
Much taller than you are
I´m just a pepping Tom
On my own for far too long
problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I´m weightless
I´m bare
I´m Faithless
I´m scared
