SHINY WHITE LINES
Shiny white lines
Fierce cold teeth of summer
Glimmering on wet tired streets
Like a kind of icy device
Flocks of grey flies
Taste the flesh of the slummers
And, of course, the automobiles
Such Babel in appropriate size
Ch.
Go barefoot, feel the mud
If there’s any left in this glass world
Flocks of eyes move circling around
Chasing puzzles of shiny white lines
Shiny white lines
Make you feel even dumber
Hot Halloween with twisted smiles
All you might need is right by your side
Chaos of signs
Turns into wordless rumor
Of you being so great and bright
Lost in your own senses inside
Ch.
Пущи, пущи, па реже
Реже, реже, па цака
Реже, реже, па цака
И така, и вака цака
Shiny white lines
Fierce cold teeth of summer
Glimmering on wet tired streets
Like a kind of icy device
Sick of goodbyes
You just act like a mummer
Saying hi to each new grief
Swimming in a pool of white lies
Ch.

The Mind Gangsters
Here they come, run!
Mind gangsters return
Watch your brain fail
Call yourself insane
And the hunger then gives way to the moon
And all fairy tales rush in too soon
And the partisans shoot all the baboons
وعندهم بنادق وهم ينصرفونْ
A desperate sultan’s eyes
Darken with surprise
Skyscrapers ahead
Fall right on his head
And the mist, the moisture everywhere to be seen
And the dark filthy noise gives way to the green
And the mothers stare: where have you been?
في أيديهن التراب وهن يبكينْ
Mind gangsters job
Brain grains explode
Pyramids madly rise
Occupy your mind

CARNATIONS
A red carnation so boring and nice
The cheap vase is no work of art
Dad’s happy to snore when Mom’s trying to sigh
A symbol of a teenager’s wrath
ring wrong (2)
An orange carnation – cigarette in the dark
A night at a small railway station
Steps echo, surround this bright shiny spark
The train of a young pumping heart
King Kong (2)
A white carnation in water so mild
Pale sisters - the lilies - caress him
A marriage – the dream of the happiest child
Love sealed in an envelope, stamped
sing song (2)

The umbrella man
Has a funny, skinny body
Like a metal rod
That’s why he needs clothes
Not to feel so cold
And those clothes
Are so beautifully folded
‘Cause he is shy, so shy
So he tightens them all up
All across his body
This withered body
Which he wouldn’t want to be exposed
But when the sky cries
He shows his nakedness in shame
Protects the decent people from its sadness
Warm and cosy they can stay

Address book full of marks
Glossy millionaires send best regards
Sunflowers bow smiling politely
Red paper hearts stuck so tightly
Old school suit down the gutter
So pleased to grin growl and flutter
Badges and wedges all just in place
Epaulettes sniff tied up with white lace
Oh what a drama
A carnival’s trauma
Heavenly bleaches
On white heavy stitches
Shouting stickers fool of charm
I feel like I broke my arm
All those colours make me sick
Girls fly around on broomsticks
I would like to patch the sunspots
It means I would wind all the night clocks
Signatures laugh right in my face
Insist to be put in their appropriate place
Oh what a heartache
I need some mandrake
To calm and relieve me
I need you to believe me
(I keep turning the pages…) (So what?) (O, my God…)
(Is that hygroscopic?) (C’mon stop that) (What a mess...)
(A-a-a, a sponge, good for the tears) (You’re a total idiot, my friend) (Pathetic...)
(Why do you think it’s so fucking easy?) (Why don’t you clean up instead?) (Incredible..)
Oh this is crucial
The ultimate bullshit
Calendars waving
For decent behaviour
Total disorder piece next to piece
Have you put it down on the guest list?
Snapshots covered with mud spots
Army of barbies carrying red flags
End the blah blah, capture mirages
Put them down, make some collages
Glue or pitch, use whatever you want
Don’t forget descriptions of art!
Oh what a drama
A carnival’s trauma
Heavenly bleaches
On white heavy stitches

The divinity of scraps
The revelations of the cracks
The reproduction of the worms when being sliced into three into four or five
The eternity of mindless acts
The sincerity of drags
The sentimental tales of rags
The daze of making seconds, minutes, hours, months, decades and years of crap
The eternity of mindless acts
Broken shells of snails
Erosion, dust
Lost trails of rails
Decay and rust
Sacrifice the ash and bone
To the thunder of the sky fire (2)
The deja-vu of certain facts
The creation of senseless arts
Spontaneous movements, dances, circles, round and round and round
The eternity of mindless acts

Digging
For meanings
Digging
For truth
There comes a minute in time
There comes a moment in time
There comes this unpleasant time
When you feel so confused
Your tools
Are blunt
Shovels and picks
Are blunt
You suddenly don’t know what is right
You suddenly don’t know what is wrong
You suddenly don’t know who you are
Now you are not that strong
Bridge:
But the sun in the sky seems much the same
It seems there are still frost and rain
No flower or tree has changed
It’s another dull normal day
And all of your schemes and all your plans
Seems so pointless, you are a bug on the shelf
You’re just crawling without knowing yourself
All you know is just how to graze
Sharpen
Your tools
Yes, sharpen
Your senses, fool
Be ready to dig with no tools at all
Be ready to dig when everything falls
Be ready to dig deep into your soul
Be ready to let go
