People I Know

on my way back home i see donkeys,
marching in a row and ridden by monkeys.
the crowd on the road flow through the traffic;
a stray dog alone is longing for home.
you are the people i know, people i know.
is this a fairy tale? is this what we are?
is this what we struggled for, all we can do so far?
the children stare at the moon dreaming of flying away;
a herd of sheep amok is turning into wolves.
you are the people i know, people i know.

Dumb
02:34

ten years of silence waiting for something new to say,
i was afraid of new experiences, i built up huge defenses.
everything went on to an end: the old owl told me to look for my friends,
i didn’t understand because i’m deaf, because my eyes are blind
‘cause my eyes are blind.
it is dangerous to lean out when the train is running fast,
it is not easy to grab a cloud, jump on it and hear the sound,
’cause no sound can be heard by a deaf man:
no sound and no melody, no fantasy.
becoming dumb, becoming dumb. becoming dumb, becoming dumb.
gigantic holes in my heart are breathing the solar wind,
a wide space gracefully imploding.
and dumb, becoming dumb, becoming dumb.

On the Road Again

i’m on the road again: no plan and no schedule my friend.
this is how i got here, this is how i will leave this place.
i leave an empty room: i won’t look back and shut the door.
i will just disappear and music will stop.
i sunk in my own self and surf its tidal waves, oh my dear.
this is how i brew my paint, this how i color love and rage.
standing on the edge, countless times i lost the game,
but i kept self-control.
this is what i’ve got: i’m on the road again.

Oh! My Dear

oh my dear,
how long does it take for my heart to heal?
the time it takes for my shoes to fall apart,
the time you take to break my heart,
compared to it ... just a fart.
we went to amsterdam, then flew to new york,
i drove to chicago, you were not in chicago,
now my heart oh my god! falls apart.
