In times of the new concrete
Both I n I pictue the end
All smoking on new found spliff's
Conceive from behind
In these times of conspiracy
We're all caught back to the wall
All lies and ignorance
Are soon to be gone
Rest assured now I won't give a shit about shit
Warp it up and go
Shove your speech into the new crack
Down below
We alone - forever we trust in the wound
True to ourselves
With no fucking tears left
Strapped, locked and fucked up bad
With general hate of the world
Not lost in your abyss
No longer compelled
And I'll burn your stupid flag any day
Took it of my back
What was once real to us was fragile
Let it crack
We alone - forever we trust in the wound
True to ourselves
With no fucking tears left
Shoulden't try a lot cuz I will remain
And you'll turn to be my gimp
It all just seems to take me higher
And what did it do for you?
Just say "What's done is done" and "Let it be"...
Alone - forever we trust in the wound
True to ourselves
Reach out and TOUCH
Reach out and TOUCH
Darlin' just relax
You melt me like hot candle wax
One TOUCH and my whole body melts
You just say, you say you can't express yourself
Oh, just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy words would only ruin it
TOUCH (TOUCH me)
That very special TOUCH
If I satisfy you (If I satisy you)
How can you satisfy me
Don't you worry baby why
You see these tears of love in my eyes
I feel this love flowin' through
Like a river girl straight from me to you
Your TOUCH means more than words
Than any language ever heard
TOUCH ( TOUCH me)
That very special TOUCH
Every brand new day (Every brand new day)
I wake up wanting you the same ole way
Reach out (TOUCH) TOUCH me
That very special TOUCH
Yeah TOUCH (TOUCH me, TOUCH me, TOUCH me)
If I satisfy you (If I satisfy you)
Bottled up inside- angst ridden
The pain strikes - scars badly hidden
Effect of love - easy to see
just a normal kid - just like you and me
feels unclean - undeserved
Wipe away the tears - unheard
How much pain can you put me through?
How much pain?
Left in anger - and shame
No witness - just pain
Hatred boils - but there's still love
this hurts - and who's to blame?
Why did it happen - undeserved
Close your eyes - unheard
What did you get?
Love, pain
I won't remain silent
Mark my words:
Don't forget where you are
Don't forget who's the star
Do you think that I'll go far
Mark my words:
Don't stop if it's wise
I can see through your eyes
And I've left my mark
Lover
I wanna swap you for another and another
We could mate, we'll make great lovers
Mark my words:
Don't forget who I am
Don't forget I'm a man
Do you think you ever can
Mark my words:
I think it's probably true
Why you think like you do
And I've left my mark forever
Lover
I wanna swap you for another and another
