Senito relictus.

Rör mig inte
Jag är så varm.
Håll dig borta
Men rör vid min arm.
Det hjälper mot klådan
I min barm.
Rör mig inte.
Rör mig.

Han är borta.
Hon är borta.
Jag är borta.
Håll dig borta.

Kom.

En tyst minut
För dom vi har förlorat
En tyst minut
För dom vi aldrig träffat på
Vi glömmer bort
Allt vi förminskat och förstorat
Och vaknar
Ur en dröm om verkligheten

Där somliga går med trasiga skor
Och säg, vad beror det på?
Gud fader som i himmelen bor
Kanske vill ha det så.

Vi går upp och ner och ner och opp
Och grisen gal i granens topp.
Jag kan och vill, jag ska och får
Jag hoppas hoppas att det går.

Med om och men, ett tveksamt ja
Det här ska nog gå jättebra
När Han och Hon och Vi och Dom
Får veta vad det handlar om

Zackarias håll ut
För snart får du kanske pusta ut.

Om allt går bra
Blir som det ska
Om vi kan leva för idag...
Det vore bra.

Rör mig inte
Jag är så varm.
Håll dig borta
Men rör vid min arm.
Det hjälper mot klådan
I min barm.
Så rör mig inte.
Rör mig!

Han är borta
Hon är borta
Jag är borta
Så håll dig borta!

KOM!

En tyst minut
För dom vi har förlorat
En tyst minut 
För dom vi aldrig träffat på
Vi glömmer bort
Allt vi förminskat och förstorat
Och vaknar...
Ur en dröm.

Zackarias du har levt i ett underland
Men nu är det dags att komma hem
Tillbaks till verkligheten.
Det är svårt men det går
I alla fall vad jag förstår...


Tack  Cornelis Vreeswijk och Astrid Lindgren.

But what about him?

People around you have learned how to read you
Everyone knows and expect you to do as you always do
You'll sing them a song and you'll dance on the table
Every night is the same.

You're the clown in a one man show 
A free entertainer for those who care watching
And everyone laughs as you're making a fool of yourself
With no honor at all. 

You won't stand you will fall.
You will wait, he won't call
You will stare at the wall 
You will sit there and drawl
You will beg, you will crawl
He won't bother at all

He won't bother at all.
You'll be the only one left in the cold
When the curtain is down and you're naked infront of them all.

Life is a merry-go-round
You're up and you're down, you're lost and you're found
Human is human, we all make mistakes
When you realize that all that you do
Is something you don't even want to

So what to be with you 
When you grow up?
Will you be the one you are 
Or someone you're just not?

You're lost in the crowd as the girl on the table is dancing
You wish you were her, but if only you knew
How much she would do to be someone like you

You are the loner, she is the star
You're dying of envy as ske flirts in the bar
Boys want to have her, you want to be her
And even though, she's crying
I'm the lonliest girl in the world.

What to be with her
When she grows up?
Will she be the one she is
Or someone she's just not?

Well life is a merry-go-round
You're up and you're down, you're lost and you're found
And human is human, we all make mistakes
When we realize that all that we do
Is something we don't even want to

So what to be with us
When we grow up?
Will we be the ones we are
Or someone we're just not?

Life is a merry-go-round
We're up and we're down, we're lost and we're found
Well human is human, we all make mistakes
When for a second I realize that the things that I do
Are things that I don't even want to do.

Now what to be with me 
When I grow up?
Will I be the one I am
Or someone I'm just not?

My Suit.

Hollow me.
Shallow beeing.
Hello you.

Hush hush hush hush hush hush hush hush little baby.
Little baby.
You little baby.

Come come come come come come come come a little closer
A little closer
A little closer to her.

You know you were
The one for her.

I think I know
No I know just what it feels like to feel nothing at all

I lose my grip
As I lose the motion in my fingertips
I can hardly feel my lips
As I sing you a love song

I sing you a love song about us.
About me.
About her.
And he who tried to tame the world.

Error error
Mayday mayday
We're losing touch.
There's someone at my backdoor and I can't hold it much longer.

Sixteen minutes to Vienna.

Push me out in the rain or drag me in to the sun.
Pull me up on the train instead of watching me run.
Two hundred people lying sleeping outside the central station of Venice.
Tonight the sky's on fire,
four million sparkles lift you higher.
Higher than the highest tower, higher than the moon.
Higher than the highest kid in Pesaro by noon.
A trumpet sounds from up above, to south and north, to east and west.
Brothers fighting building buildings highest builder knowing best.

And pretty far down under, gazing up upon the towers
Lyes Europe's biggest market square, Cracow's greatest pride
And set on stage is the city youth, playing a play in memorial
Of a time they never knew, based on stories they have heard.

Sixteen minutes to Vienna
It's sixteen minutes to Vienna.

I know that we are young and I know that you may love me
When I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I scream from the top of my loungs
Where on earth did we end up?

In a dirty kareoke bar in a basement 
About seven minutes from the heart of Vienna.
