Leveled Reveler
07:49
|
|||
I'm a leveled reveler
slightly out of step with the herd
and I do as I please in my swarm of bees
every buzz I foresee with the power of thee, yeah
clouded judgement
enshrined in my soul
clouded judgement
I'm losing control
I'm a leveled reveler
slightly out of step with the herd
and I seek company, can't stand the real me
all you kitchen drinkers got nothing on me, no
clouded judgement
which side am I on?
no gravity to hold
these lines on the horizon
I resort to turmoil
when the big calm comes close
blend in with you others
when jackdaws approach

Pusher
03:04
|
|||
the fader of the deck is broken
so you stick to the one record you love
the one you love
it‘s a long walk uphill to be mastered
and a solar panel amidst the grey
oh can you see it?
keep on pushin‘
take what you got in your own two hands
gotta gotta keep on pushin‘
the fader of the deck is broken
so you stick to the one record you love
the one you love
gotta trace the taste in your mouth
unfiltered karma running south
it's running south

Messina
07:15
|
|||
I separate myself from my shadow today
and move into the light
clutch my hands with blackened thumbs
never to turn white
chances are you do respect me
though you're not afraid of me but you'd better be
because I got the closed eye visuals of the 18th century
lord I leave crescent-shaped footprints in your mind
by the time I reach Messina
it's 1908 once again, no
I separate myself from space and time
to become someone else
I’ve cast my spells, I sealed my fate
it never turns out right
by the time I reach Messina
it's 1908 once again, no
1908, that’s way too late now
by the time I reach the other side
I reinvented dynamite
by the time I reach the other side
my third eye is going blind

Walkin' on Air
03:50
|
|||
revolution has been televised
now I'm looking for the VHS
revolution has been televised
the missing part was your caress
revolution has been televised
what message is there left to send?
still walkin‘ on air
still walkin‘ on air against better judgement
are we miracle workers and it's love we crave?
some nasty shadows trying to rob your grave?
in the end only you can see
it's you and me and ubiquity
are we the emerald messiah here to sweeten the deal?
twisted illusion and nothing you feel?
in the end only you can see
it's you and me and ubiquity

Fuzz Muncher
04:42
|
|||
you're throwing a lifeline, I don't need your savin' touch
prescribing me a cure, doctor thank you very much
I can do it on my own
I don't need your help...no, no
you leave me with this shit
fuzz muncher by design
you take away what's good
what's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
the high horse you ride on, oh it has been dead for long
now the stench surrounds you as i sing my song
I don’t need your helpin‘
I will do it on my own, yeah
a variety of virtues
none of them you call your own
righteousness, sincerity, integrity
there's a crack in your pretty skull
where the rain comes pouring in
a water hole where the fiendish thoughts arise

Rolling Hitch
10:03
|
|||
this little dawn got the best of me
so I lost my old self on the way
after setting foot on holy ground
there's just no way I ever could return
let your electric smile radiate on me
as I'm shedding my skin once more
let others lay their golden eggs
I just ain't got the time for the truth, oh no
it's a rolling hitch I tie to hold on to what is mine
to be severed only by the fateful grip of time
the bloodred moon, the warmest doom
have brought their offerings to me
what’s the sharpest blade in the hand
of a fool, of a fool, of a fool
but after all I don't bear no grudge
because of shallow words that have been said
let others lay their golden eggs
I just ain't got the time for the truth, oh no
you reminded me of someone I knew
the second time around, the second time around
all this time I've been searching
for something I already know,
for something I already have
it’s all becoming clear to me
as I lay supine
serenity’s a state of mind
few reach before they die
let your love flow right through me
as I'm shedding my skin once more
let others lay their golden eggs
I just ain't got the time for the truth, oh no

OPERATORS Berlin, Germany
"It is a rollercoaster, complete with ups and downs, climbs and descents that ultimately combine for a well put together if
recognizable sound. [...] One of the five reasons I wish I went to Desertfest Berlin 2012."
