After The Party

2.30 in the morning
last survivors dropping out
dopamine in the bloodstream, stay down, dopamine, enjoy
We had a great time, but you know,
after the party starts a new liturgy, changing water for the whole week
There is a stain on the floor, right here
Ambrosia buonissima
I won’t let you go for a long, long time,
please come see me tomorrow
Flowers flowers, roses, bamboos,
ornamental vases in the room
ashes in disposable cups
clean here, clean there,
check here, check there
hangover decadenza
Wouldn't this graduation be a consolation?
Congratulations for your score
My asylum is you, cause we jammed and here’s the clue
Please come and see me tomorrow
I won’t let you go
for a long time
After the party ,raising my soul
life of the party, praying for more
I wanna know
is my life just a rig a moro, blurry and cold
like the ice in my snow
You’re melting my spine, but I cannot decline
If you sell I’m a buy, If you tell, I’m a lie, truth of a spy
Eyes on your thighs, I sit back and recline
Take a sip of my wine or pour me a rye it’s quarter to 5.
I wanna die with the night, shine in the light sun is coming up
And then I wanna rise from the ashes, masses of asses
down on the floor, party is over but still I want more.
I know I’ m addicted
I know I’ m conflicted
I know I’ m a dick when I call in sick in the morning
But that’ s how I roll and
That’s just my role here and its taking its toll on me
I won’t let you go
for a long time
My asylum is you,
cause we jammed and here’s the clue
Please come and see me tomorrow

Muddy Road

When you walk down a muddy road
don't stop to clean your sandals off
Get a good grip on the ground, there’s a friend you can lean on
Get a good grip on the ground, before long you'll be home
That year my lucky star had let me down
I used to wear my hair in a short red cut
Roaming around for hours the French town
A wake-up call, it was time to return
To a place that I could no longer call 'home'
I was twenty-three, you were a couple more than me
You had a black tattoo, I had a flower blouse
Paris indulged that gloomy mood
But you, you spread the light of the sun
But you, I'll never forget,
how you made me shine...
When you walk down a muddy road don't
stop to clean your sandals off
Get a good grip on the ground there’s a friend you can lean on
Get a good grip on the ground before long you'll be home
Advertisements in the yellow paper
I called that number with no hesitation
That's the place you’ re looking for
Go ahead, see the rental down the road
Seethe tiny house with the ivy all around
That was my shelter, there we felt safer
Haven of rest for edgy people
We had great moments, jams in the kitchen
But you, you spread the light of the sun
But you, I'll never forget
how you made me shine

I don’t have the words to say
The way I feel some days
Words just seem to go astray
When pink turns to grey
When my heart is on the moon
It feels like night at noon
I don’t have the words to say
The way I feel some days
And I
Just can’t find the words
to make sense of the world
And face up to a bitter show
Be the actor and not the audience
Sometimes I'll grab the weapon of rage
Sometimes I'll shoot the arrows of age
Make a cradle of the stage
Cradle, cradle of the stage
I don’t have the words to say
The way I feel some days
Words crumble meanings swoon
to shards of somber gold
When my heart is on the moon
The sun shines, and it's cold
I don’t have the words to say
The way I feel some days
And I
Just can’t find the words
to make sense of the world
And face up to a bitter show
Be the actor and not the audience
Sometimes I'll grab the weapon of rage
Sometimes I'll shoot the arrows of age
Make a cradle of the stage
Cradle, cradle of the stage

In a Bubble
02:35
|
|||
|
You grew up in a place where fear
Was the way to live
You walked down with your teen gear
Sneakers on your feet
Tapes of 90’s rock
Walkman and headphones
No worries, no enemies
You used to walk around
Like in a bubble
You had a wall of sound
As a protection
Until they stopped you
They broke the bubble
Until they surrounded you
In a circle
One day they called your name
You didn’t turn around
They asked from where you came
You didn’t say a word
Somebody recognized you
I heard him play some riffs
Don’t pick on him
He’s great at guitar
You used to walk around
Like in a bubble
You had a wall of sound
Until they stuck you
You used to walk around
Like in a bubble
You had a wall of sound
As a protection
Until the boss came up
And broke the circle
Until he said to them
The guy’s protected.

Night Trap in Rome
03:37

What’s left to say more than this?
We trashed the night wasting our breath
What did we say?
my way, your way we’re trapped in this game
What did we say that took all night?
Exhausting hours crushing each other
What did we say, what did we say?
What's left to say, more than this?
We trashed the night wasting our breath,
my way, your way we’re trapped in this game
without never getting right
What else to say?
What else to say?
After we got
so carried away
This makes no sense I got, no more to say
We went too far, those words took us apart
Flashing eyes, flaming arrows fly
Oh my, take me to the closest bay
What else to say, after this?
Characters in a black and white screen
We forgot colors and the shades of a kiss
We tasted the dawn of this old-fashioned Rome
Playing the scene, of an after-war win
So, what else to say? So, what else to say?
This makes no sense I got, no more to say
We went too far, those words took us apart
Flashing eyes, flaming arrows fly
Oh my, take me to the closest bay

Feeling high, hot and sweaty
Got to feed this friendliness
Smoky back room, swim the flume
Crashing new years’ eve
What goal we achieve?
Twisting tongues, swingin’ hips
How to make a mess in a few steps
Thanks for performing, last one is my favorite
Do you have a copy?
Out there is dynamite
And tonight we bought a new star
And we drank so many shots
Bounty hunter lady killers
Help for danger Casanovas
Girls they’ve got you, no escape there
You’re the princess of no one’s bar
And tonight we bought a new star
And we drank so many shots
And we are all spinning on this white carousel
‘till the morning, ‘till tomorrow 6 A.M.
You ask me
Can I kiss her?
Yes, you can
Are you sure? Won’t you be upset

Rendez-vous
04:27
|
|||
|
Here we get, the beginning of September
derisive, seasonal disease
I might take some melatonin
Before I sleep
90 per cent of humidity
drops on steamy window panes
we have an obliged rendez-vous
before it’s dawn
You come visit me, and my throat feels tight
I have fins on my feet and swim outside
Hopefully I’m a few meters from this tide
This tide, is my place
When this tide will not be anymore my place
I will turn my fins into wings
Any constraint of the rendez-vous
Before the dawn, or whenever it is
What happens happens when it comes and goes
10 per cent dryness on the glass
when the contemptuous night is surviving
water turns to gas

Punchwalls
03:30
|
|||
|
Sometimes people turn the cause of their ugliness
Into the other’s happiness
Sometimes people see you as a reflection
Of their dissatisfaction
In the middle, between empathy and rage
We must rule this stage, and face up to the failures
This stage is a journey, where we play like it’s tetris
And the misunderstandings
Don’t sit us in boxes
Human punchwalls, they don’t fit the puzzle
Try to let it go, when you’re crushing down
They talk and rain
all over a sunny day
Their clouds follow you
and never them
Try to let it go, when you’re crushing down

My Mind Is a Sail
03:01

Some live in the same house, but never exchange a word
Some think they’re close, but they’re in two different worlds
Some are silent, but their silence says it all
Some talk a lot, but say nothing at all
But my mind is a sail
And my heart is the wind
And my home is the world, and that’s where I belong
Cause my mind is a sail
Some are family, but it’s just a matter of blood
Some don’t have the same roots, but they’ re like mother and son
Some people get married, but don’t share the same bed
Some see their sibling only when the will must be shared
But my mind is a sail
And my heart is the wind
And my home is the world, and that’s where I belong
Cause my mind is a sail
