Road to joy

The sun came up with no conclusions.
Flowers sleeping in their beds.
The city cemetary's humming.
I'm wide awake, it's morning.

I have my drugs, I have my woman,
they keep away my loneliness.
My parents, they have their religion,
but sleep in seperate houses.

I read the body count out of the paper
and now it's written all over my face.
No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter.
Sometimes that's just the most comfortable place.

So I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing.
Every day I'm on the clock.
My mind races with all my longings.
But can't keep up with what I got.

And so I hope I don't sound too ungrateful.
What history gave modern man.
A telephone to talk to strangers.
Machine guns and a camera lense.

So when you're asked to fight a war that's over nothing.
It's best to join the side that's gonna win.
No ones sure how all of this got started,
but we're gonna make 'em God damn certain how it's gonna end.

Oh yeah we will, oh yeah we will!

Well I could have been a famous singer
if I had some one else's voice.
But failures always sounded better...
Let's fuck it up boys, make some noise!

The sun came up with no conclusions.
Flowers sleeping in their beds.
The city cemetary's humming.
I'm wide awake, it's morning!

Road to joy (Denia 2007). Julio 2007.

Mi otra vida me enseñó a esquivar,
a levantarme, a ser fuerte,
que la soledad es la peor muerte.

Mi otra vida me enseñó que lo real
es lo que tengo en frente,
y que al final sólo quedan los cuatro de siempre.
