1. I Hope You Taste Good
Could you please wear something blue?
I promise I’m there if you are too
I hope you taste good ’cause I have had few
Bad ones they were hard to chew
How about we would first have some wine?
So we are relaxed once I start to dine
How do you mean you don’t feel so fine?
That’s ok to me let’s not eat you this time
2. When I Make a Sound
When I make a sound
You follow it
You’re in my closet
Or under my bed
I can hear you only when I make a sound
I’ll never find you
You have the best hide
Words that are loud
but I can’t hear them
You have a really deep voice
Someone would shout
but I can’t do that
Just because I am too scared
I will keep quiet
So that I can hear
You make a mistake
but you never make
I can hear you only
When I make a sound
I’ll never find you
You have the best hide
3. Into the Blind
I feel you so near
I can hear so clear
I see shadows
Dancing in the park
There are balloons
Twirling in the air
I hear them rise
Up, high
I will slide
Into blindness
Describe
Me the sky
As I slide
There’s no light
Please describe
Me the life
My ears are alert
And I can hear you flirt
Even though you’re just
Smiling at me
I know where you are
And it’s never far
You keep me safe
From the dark
4. In My Dreams
First dream:
You have too many teeth
When you smile you look scary
But the thing is you smile at me
And I feel like you love me
Second dream:
Even more unreal
You speak perfect swahili
“Abend schmubend liebendlich”
But I feel like you love me
I see you in my dreams
I woke up you are real
How can this be
I woke up you are real
Third dream:
You offer your key
I want it but it is heavy
Weighs more than 3 TV’s
But I feel like you love me
Another dream:
You are stuck in a tree
I climb there, we drink blue tea
We live there eternally
And I feel like you love me
5. Harmless
You want to tell me something
it can’t be told in here
we might as well be holding hands
as we run behind the building
i don’t say it out loud
have you any idea
why are you talking to me
don’t you know how gorgeous you are
as I leave
as we part
I glance back
look across the road
see you there
and go home
with my own
I’m playing with fire
careful not to burn
I hope I know what I’m doing
that I’ll do the right thing
6. Imaginary Boyfriend
He is perfect and I always know what he’s about to say next
We have these ridiculously long discussions it’s the best
I tell him he’s mine and he tells me I’m his for end of times
Never apart we go everywhere together, we’re as one cause
He lives in my head
A one-room apartment in my brain
Bedroom in my frontal lobe
He’s alive in my mind
He is always there for me and knows just what to say when I’m sad
When we go to the movies we get two for the price of one
He eats literally nothing, he’s really cheap to support
I don’t want to even imagine what life would be if he was real
Imaginary boyfriend
He’s all I have and he’s all I need
Imaginary boyfriend
Don’t try to steal him, cause I will know
Imaginary boyfriend
He’s father material and a dream son in law
Imaginary boyfriend
Do get to know his brother, he’s great, too
Imaginary boyfriend
Amazing in bed, always satisfies me
Imaginary boyfriend
Never annoys me and always does what I want to do
Better than all,
Better than real
7. Eater-Feeder
I’m an eater, here’s my feeder
We have this amazing symbiosis
You’re the loser, I’m the winner
He’s the main course of my dinner
We have this amazing symbiosis
Oh boy he’s just a beginner
You are beautiful
Oh my love, you are
Far too beautiful
That’s why I must go
8. Soundtrack For Obsession
I looked for you
In the crowd
I tried to find your face
but all the other people
who had your haircut
were just other people
with your haircut
I had nothing to say to you
but I wanted to talk and talk and talk
the whole night through
somehow there is
a strange reaction
your girlfriend has
a stupid name
but i see the attraction
you mean to me
more than you know
you say it would take days
to tell me just how beautiful
I truly am
this time it’s what I let you
get away with
I can’t concentrate
with you around
for some time you’ve taken up
all the space in my brain
you say you have
gained a few pounds
I say that I don’t notice
when actually I don’t mind
s’long as you’re here
we only have ’til morning
and I might wake up
9. Colin
Why do I live in a city this big?
Too many places and too many choices
But I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run
But why do I live in a city this big?
(I’ll find you)
You could be gone
Disappeared somewhere here
You’re all I want
My reaction was just fear
Why the red light, there’s no time
So many people and so many voices
But I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run
But why the red light, there’s no time
(I’ll find you)
Stop and breathe
One minute here and then I’ll go
Why am I not as fit as that jogging girl?
I’m sure she would have found you sooner than me
But I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run
But why am I not as fit as that jogging girl?
10. OK
I cleaned the house today
In case you wanted to stay
Bad stains on the kitchen floor
Frozen blueberries
I took a photo of myself, I look OK
You called me just the other day
This could be great
I drove last night all by myself on motorway
I feel quite good about myself
Perhaps everything is ok
You called me just the other day
This could be great
We didn’t have a thing to say but it’s OK
I think I can do anything and if I can’t then it’s OK
You say: “Of course I want to stay,
can I stay and stay and stay, OK?”
11. Five Years
I’m gonne leave you now but don’t worry honey cause it’s gonna be alright
I wasn’t right for you and you will find someone new who will treat you good
Remember the time when I was pissed and you were right,
I shouldn’t have got in to that fight
I will leave you be and move far far out of here and you will be just fine
Cause in five years time
You’ll be a vet and I will be dead
In five years time
You’ll be a vet and I will be oh so dead
You said you wanted children and I told you I could hate them, I might bite them
You said you want to marry, I got frightened so I went and slept with Mary
Remember when I took your dad’s car and was high,
I could had just killed us there
After that you said that you would leave me, but you couldn’t, so I’ll do it for you
Dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
But do not worry it will be just fine
Do not worry it will be alright
Don’t worry, honey, it will be alright
Do not worry, you will be just fine
Cause in five year time
You’ll be a vet, there will be no regret
In five years time
You’ll have a life that will include a wife
Wife
Wife
Wife
Wife
12. On The Run
I am the false moment in the sun
In apartment A21
With a crisp white shirt and clean white sheets
the other lies and the other cheats
And just like that I’m on the run
I admire your complexion
your soft skin shining in the sun
I want to touch but you’d break
the hours go by I won’t wake you up
And just like that I’m on the run
My thoughts run wild
but I’m letting them
plans open wide
but I’m getting them
done some day
now I’m setting them aside
so I can see
where I’m heading
Them boys mess my head
now I fell for you
I don’t sing out loud
how I feel for you
maybe everyone else
apart from you
can see that you make me feel a fool
I still try to turn things in my head
around into something they’re not
No matter how I dress it up
it happened and it’s my only regret
And just like that I’m on the run
