Shadows 04:39
lyrics
I don’t want to hide, all my love for your brown eyes I’ve got no shadows I don’t want to steal, anything that life can bring I’ve got no shadows Just happy with you, and all the things that we can do. I’ve got no shadows And one day you’ll be mine, and i m so glad, i’m so glad I’ve got no shadows I call the cloud, downtown they could say “We are not like that, we are not like that We came after the day, but we only want to play We are not like that, we are not like that We came after the day, but we only want to play We start the rule, we hide the fool And we promise to the gods To escape of your own road This is the end of mankind , but can’t you really understand” La la la la la la la la la I don’t want to hide, all my love for your brown eyes I’ve got no shadows I want to be feared by anyone against our dreams I’ve got no shadows I call the cloud, downtown they could say “We are not like that, we are not like that We came after the day, but we only want to play We broke the rules, we hid the fool (but) We are not like that, we are not like that We came after the day, but we only want to play And we promise to the gods to escape / from your own road This is the end of mankind, but can you really understand”

The Larch You said I like But I don't now You think up high I dream on low I touch the sky You live on ground I feel like artificially numb You hold me tight I let you go You let me com I run away Purple Headed, green headed, picture yourself live it outsIde on the side on miror I'm drawning high your flying low you give me choice i don't choose We ‘re friends for life We touch the sky I feel lik artofisally numb You hold me tight I let you go You let me com I run away Purple Headed, green headed, picture yourself live it outsIde on the side on miror I 've used a lots of jobs In a lab a shop or stock Things I do with satisfacto Never thinking of bad times Freaky Chicky Records ©2009 Joseph Merrick Circus Circus preserve my motivation on the otherside of the mirror It’s a passing sun I ‘ve come this way You tried to Join me under the larch It’s a passing sun I ‘ve come this way You tried to Join me under the larch I 've used a lot of time To love all those useless things Wings makes me fly on the sky Never thinking lifetime preserve my motivation on the otherside of the mirror It’s a passing sun I ‘ve come this way You tried to Join me under the larch It’s a passing sun I ‘ve come this way You tried to Join me under the larch

Mescaline 04:29
lyrics
A rainbow on a hill, Glasgow just gonna kick and the birds just left around Camille jumps on the hill, she gives me mescaline I just don’t know who I am And they come and go, goodbye hello, they can’t see my face But they come and go, goodbye hello, birds just want to rest With you, I’ll drive all the night And you, come along with me I just can’t stand in the van Oh baby let’s make love. I wake up this morning, i’m always on the hill, but the birds just fall apart And she was on the hill, she dances with reptiles and I just don’t know who I am And they come and go, goodbye hello, they can’t see my face But they come and go, goodbye hello, birds just want to rest With you, I’ll drive all the night And you, come along with me I just can’t stand in the van Oh baby let’s make love.

Broken 06:15
lyrics
Broken Don’t need more blues in vacation The pool makes me fat Chlorine burns my eyes But nobodies cares I just need more books and fictions Something about love During times of war And nobody escapes Time's just stretching The heat produces steam Everybody gets a hole And I feel Broken I need shadows Need some breakdown Coz' I'm so high And I fell broken When I've fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain, Before high-piled books, in charactery, Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain; Upon the night's starr'd face, When I behold, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,[1] Five by one, with a mussel The fridge is just empty And I can't go out But nobody's care I can wait to do the laundry Warm makes some steam I bask in the sun And my skin burn's But nobody's care Time's just stretching Everybody get's a hole And I feel Broken Freaky Chicky Records ©2009 Joseph Merrick Circus Circus Need some breakdown I need shadows When I'm on high And I fell broken Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain, Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain; When I've fears that I may cease to be Before high-piled books, in charactery, When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance.

No Cool 04:52
lyrics
No Cool Who can cry now (that) we’ve lost the birds Who can cry now Who can cry It’s too late We have try to sow (semer), we arrived to change the world High gain of this mess, devil win and the world’s looking for See the men to rise / see men rise / , and see the rivers on their flows Change of all the worst, gaze on the fossil fuels Come on Eeiln , we drive on a thin way High gain has , high gain has, high gain has, high gain has no need to take a nap And I fuck this world, and I deny this world High gain has , high gain has, high gain has, high gain has no need to take a nap Who can cry now (that) we’ve lost the birds Freaky Chicky Records ©2009 Joseph Merrick Circus Circus Who can cry now Who can cry It’s too late We have missed our chance, we have failed to change the world Memories are sold out, and culture has fallen down High gain of this mess, devil win and the world’s looking for See men join forces , and see the rivers on their flows

Little Spring 02:52
lyrics
Little spring I’m sick, I’m in my bed I’ve taken two drugs again I can’t change the world today In my dream there’s a rainbow-warrior And in my brain there’re ten motors I’ can’t see any walls today. At this moment of my life I’m sick but I can’t be sad At this moment of my life… Outside the sun is shining But I can’t see it drives me bad I don’t see any wall today Little Spring takes a picture too And it makes lots of things But I don’t care about her aim… At this moment of my life I’m sick but I can’t be sad At this moment of my life…

Follow Me Follow Me 03:39
lyrics
Follow me, follow me Follow me, follow me we can make love and eat sushis we can drink wine and dance boogie under the red light, I do. It’s ok, you won’t dance, I’m upset It’s alright, prick up your ears on these mantras we can make love and eat sushis we can drink wine and dance boogie Follow me, follow me under the red light, I do.

She's an Actress 02:33
lyrics
She’s so pretty, with a conform diamond smile. I’m in a quandary: do I kiss or clutch her tight. What should I do girl. Yes I love you, I’m on a lucky day, I’m on a lucky day She’s an actress, with an impressive sense of act(ing) She’s cooking and forces me to eat sugar’s salt What should I do girl. Yes I love you, I’m on a lucky day, I’m on a lucky day Yesterday, she told me, to help her for her audition I’m a romantic butcher and she’s a hot jeweller Come on, come on, she calls me on the stall, Come on, come on and she lets me all alone.

Passive I’m a passive loser waiting on the world No one can win no one can lose in my world And, on & on & on &on I look at you And, on & on & on &on I ‘m lovin’ you I’m a passive loser, at the top of the world I’m a passive lover, let me sing a song.
