THE CURVE MOD [Intro – spoken] Turn it left. Push it harder. Don’t touch the red line. [Verse 1] Chrome eyes — electric skin, feed the noise and pull me in. Bent light crawling up the wall, I hear the curve before I fall. [Pre-Chorus] Higher… Lower… Twist it till the signal breaks. [Chorus] THE CURVE MOD! Bend my head — distort the sound. THE CURVE MOD! Turn the whole damn world around. No straigh...

TRAVELDIARY [Verse 1] I wrote your name on a station wall, somewhere south of nowhere. A coffee cup, a midnight train, your picture everywhere. Different rooms, different skies, same old shoes beside the bed. Every town becomes a line in a book inside my head. [Chorus] Travel diary, keep another night for me. Every road, every face, every place I had to leave. Travel diary, pages blowing in the wi...

THE LOUNGE [Intro – spoken] Come inside… Leave the city at the door. There’s always room in the Lounge. [Verse 1] Low light falling on the table, slow smoke dancing through the room, someone laughing by the window, someone singing out of tune. Old man sleeping by the speaker, young girl moving with the bass, everybody came from somewhere, nobody is leaving this place. [Chorus] Down in the Lounge,...

RUNNING IN DAKOTA FIELDS [Verse 1] Morning broke across the highway, dust was hanging in the air, I had forty miles behind me and another dream to spare. Old boots underneath the dashboard, radio was fading out, there was nothing left to follow, nothing left to figure out. [Chorus] Running in Dakota fields, where the sky goes on forever, running where the cold wind feels like it knows me better. N...

BLACK TREES [Verse 1] Black trees leaning on the moon, silver shadows fill the room. Someone left the window wide, someone whispered from outside. I saw the river lose its name, I saw the night forget the rain. And every road I thought I knew turned into another shade of blue. [Chorus] Black trees, standing where the daylight ends. Black trees, waiting like forgotten friends. Don’t ask me where I’...

SWEET FRUIT OF THE ASH (by Silvio Vinci) [Verse I] Morning sleeps inside your eyes, silver birds cross violet skies, I found your shadow in the grass, sweet fruit of the ash. The river turns without a sound, little moons fall to the ground, your fingers touch the looking glass, sweet fruit of the ash. [Chorus] Stay with me where the colours slowly grow, where the wind forgets to blow, and no one n...

VOODOO CLAV (reworking of instrumental original track by Silvio Vinci, thanks to JH) Turn it up… I hear that old machine breathing. [Verse] Black wire burning in my hand, electric fever across the land, red moon crawling down my spine, somebody stole the hands of time. [Chorus] Voodoo Clav! Hit me once, hit me twice, Voodoo Clav! Roll the bones, throw the dice. [Instrumental – Clavinet / Wah Guita...

THE BRONZE AGE [Intro – whispered] Before the iron, before the written law, we raised our towers to speak with the stars. [Verse I] Copper from the mountains, tin across the sea, fire inside the furnace gave the gods their key. Sails beneath Orion, cities made of stone, kings beneath the lion gate dreaming on their thrones. [Chorus] We were born in the Bronze Age, under a blood-red sun, building r...

DISTRY CHOICE Choose a number. Any number. Now forget it. Purple teeth inside the sun, seven moons but only one. Mother Mercury lost her shoes, God is sleeping in the news. I bought a ticket to yesterday — the driver had no face. Chorus Distry choice! Distry choice! Left is right and black is noise. Distry choice! [Spoken] Hello, Earth? No… Wrong number There’s a little man inside my radio. He say...

DIRTY DAMN! Pt. 2 Dirty damn! Here we go again… Something’s cooking underneath the floor. Something wicked coming through the door. Dirty damn! That’s what I’m talking about. Dirty damn! Turn it inside out. [Instrumental] Low down… Way down… Don’t clean it up — I like it dirty. [Groove] Hey! You got the rhythm, I got the time. You bring the trouble, baby, I’ll bring mine. Dirty damn! [Long instrum...

DIRTY DAMN! [Intro – spoken] Midnight. Downtown. Engine running. Nobody’s clean tonight. [HORNS HIT] Verse 1 Blacktop burning under my feet, Red light flashing down the street. One bad woman, one fast ride, Trouble sitting on the passenger side. [HORNS] Ba-da! Ba-da-da-DA! Chorus Dirty damn! Here we go! Dirty damn! Keep it low! Hot wheels — cold hands, Nobody sticks to nobody’s plans. DIRTY DAMN!...

BREATHLESS SPACE Verse 1 Neon dripping down the wall I hear the rhythm when you call No direction, no escape We keep moving out of shape Chorus Breathless space Between your body and mine Breathless space We’re running out of time Don’t talk — Just let it move Breathless space Get into the groove [Instrumental Groove] Verse 2 Silver shadows, burning slow Where we’re going, no one knows Feel the pr...

JUMPING FROM PLUTO Verse 1 I saw the Earth from the edge of the night, a little blue fire in a river of light. You were sleeping somewhere below, while I was learning how to let you go. Chorus I’m jumping from Pluto, falling into you, crossing all the silence where the stars come through. I’m jumping from Pluto — nothing left to lose. If gravity can find me, maybe you will too. [Instrumental] Vers...

ANTIQUE CLOCK BLUES [Verse 1] Got an antique clock hanging on my wall Been ticking all night but it ain’t moved at all Hands at midnight dust upon its face Everybody’s running but time stays in its place [Hook] Tick-tock — give me that groove Tick-tock — don’t make a move Old clock talking like it knows the news I got that tick-tock antique clock blues [Instrumental groove – Hammond / guitar] [Ver...

Hold it down Gripp! Turn it around Get low Get loose Get into the sound [Instrumental groove – Rhodes / wah / Hammond] [Verse] Heat in the corner smo...

SATURDAY ORANGE [Verse 1] Saturday orange on the window pane Someone is laughing inside the rain I watch the shadows crossing the floor I’ve seen this morning somewhere before [Chorus] Saturday orange Burning slow Where does the daylight Really go?

THE SIM [Verse 1] I met the Sim on Sunday He was sleeping in my chair Purple shoes and silver eyes And flowers in his hair He said, “Don’t trust the mirror It only knows your name” Then turned himself to yellow And walked into the rain [Chorus] Hey, Sim Where have you been? Walking through the spaces In between Hey, Sim Let me come in Turn the world around And start again [Instrumental – fuzz guit...

PULLED IT STRAIGHT I came in crooked, left through the wall, heard somebody whisper— “Ne regarde pas derrière toi…” Black shoes, white room, nothing in between, I pulled it straight, baby, from a broken machine. Pulled it straight— straight out of the fire, pulled it straight— straight through the wire. Déjame entrar, don’t ask me why. Tout va bien… when the truth learns to lie. She wore red silen...

IF YOU DO THE GROOVE, LOWER YOURSELF! Hey… Don’t look up. The ceiling is moving. Just follow the bass… Purple shoes on a yellow street, Radio preacher got electric feet. Moon in my pocket, smoke in my brain, Somebody’s dancing inside the rain. If you do the groove— lower yourself! If you feel it move— lower yourself! Down, down, down… Where the good things hide. Saw my shadow drinking gasoline, Ta...

EASY BALLAD [Verse 1] Morning light across your face, nothing left for us to say. We don’t need to make a promise, we just need another day. [Chorus] Take it easy, baby, stay here by my side. We don’t need forever, just this night. [Hammond / Guitar] [Verse 2] We’ve been running for so long, chasing shadows down the road. Come and lay your head beside me, let me share your load. [Chorus] Take it e...

THE WAIT Sitting by the window, counting down the days Every second feels like forever in this haze Your voice echoes in the distance, calling out my name But the miles between us feed this burning flame I'm holding on to every word you said Replaying every moment in my head This is the wait, the ache I cannot shake Every dawn, another chance you'll take To come back home to me This is the wait, t...

Warm drives on an empty road, sun went down an hour ago. Got the window open wide, nothing here but time to ride. Old white lines beneath my wheels, every mile knows how it feels. Left some words back in that town, some things rise, some things go down. Warm drives, carry me slow, don’t need to know where I’m gonna go. Warm drives, under fading light, keep that engine rolling through the night. Ra...
