DEEP CRIMSON

Download: http://www.confrontational.bandcamp.com

Always the war
In 2019
This is the world of today
In our minds
There is only the money
And there is nothing for you
Ten hours work
No flowers in the mind
The life runs without happiness
Everyday dreams
To go to a better life
But they remain only dreams
You are the children
Your life will be very hard
You are the children
You're singing every day
To have a friend
To explain your little problems
Can you say now to have it
Sometimes you hope
It's only an illusion
Don't hope, it's better so
But children's power
Will win
I am sure
We’ll see sweet lovers for us
Your fantasy
Will find new nice colours
But now it's time to go
You are the children
Your life will be very hard
You are the children
You're singing every day

Featuring Adrien Grousset (CARPENTER BRUT): lead guitar
To P. Lion, for his encouragement and words of support.

UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS

HAPPY CHILDREN (Feat. ADRIEN GROUSSET)

STRANGER EYES - featuring CODY CARPENTER
(Originally by THE CARS, 1984)

You took the fall
You floated down
You took the jump
You fell through clouds
You watched the world
Beat the crowd

Come on ride me high
Stranger eyes

You took the fall
You landed soft
You thought to yourself
Well i'm not alone
You with your dark red soul
And your chaperone

Come on ride me high
Stranger eyes

Well I need your touch
Because it means so much

Come on ride me high
Stranger eyes


Lead synth: CODY CARPENTER

Stranger Eyes (feat. Cody Carpenter)

Dedicated to Robert Hazard and Axel / NeonVice 

4. ESCALATOR OF LIFE 
(originally by ROBERT HAZARD, 1982)

Got my Plymouth at the E-Z Park It
At the rock & roll supermarket
Muzak music makes me feel so funny
I went and spent all my money

We're riding on the escalator of life
We're shopping in the human mall
We're dancing on the escalator of life
Won't be happy 'til we have it all

We want it all

Escalator of life - up and down
Escalator of life - round and round

There's 111 choices
Don't listen to those little voices
I don't let the guilty feeling shake me
You can have your cake and eat it baby

We're riding on the escalator of life
We're shopping in the human mall
We're dancing on the escalator of life
Won't be happy 'til we have it all

Hey girl, I'm a personal friend with Tobias Bernstrup
I got all the gold in the world around my neck
Come ride the steel dinosaur
Run wild in the jungle 
It's a dying nation
Seduction, sacrifice, a new sensation
Nothing ever changes

We're riding on the escalator of life
We're shopping in the human mall
We're dancing on the escalator of life
Won't be happy 'til we have it all
