Gotta take that sunset ride
Drive directly at the sun
Can't make you young inside
But least you'll have some fun
Drive directly at the sun
Drive directly at the sun

She cried bingo the night before
They took away her keys
She's staring at the TV set
Blanket on her knees

Gotta take that sunset ride
Drive directly at the sun
Can't make you young inside
But least you'll have some fun
Drive directly at the sun
Drive directly at the sun

Suddenly the doorbell rings
A kind old man inquires
Something shiny and electric
A chair with four grey tires

She's wild on the streets
Boredom she defeats
She's behind the wheel
Listen to the tires squeal

(solo)

The man returns to his garage
Working hard on junk
Turns it into something good
Throws it in his trunk

Gotta take that sunset ride
Drive directly at the sun
Can't make you young inside
But least you'll have some fun
Drive directly at the sun
Drive directly at the sun

Gotta take that sunset ride
Drive directly at the sun
Can't make you young inside
But least you'll have some fun
Drive directly at the sun
Drive directly at the sun

Drive Directly at the Sun

(Slow down...)

Ran down to sector one
Found an exterior port
Dark and deep against the sun
A system smashed support

My rocket garbage truck
Returning from the stars
To dump out all this stuff
From Jupiter and Mars
Jupiter and Mars

I'm feeling mild impatience
Exasperation and frustration
From avoiding deviation
A problem at this elevation

A speaker saying syllables
That don't mean nothing at all
Sounds analytical
And very comfortable

My rocket garbage truck
Returning from the stars
To dump out all this stuff
From Jupiter and Mars
Jupiter and Mars

(space instrumental & repeat chorus)

My Rocket Garbage Truck

Music written by Henrik Sprock and lyrics written by Raymond Larabie in 2019. Performed, recorded, mixed and mastered in 2019 by Henrik Sprock.

Have you ever been so tense
So long you couldn't cry
Overwhelmed with the expense
Did you fail to comply

Did you fail to comply
Were you a hopeless introvert
Why didn't you show those guys
The ways in which you hurt

Prisoners on a ship of love
And it was wrecked by the patrol
The ones they want to get rid of
And it was wrecked by the patrol
Prisoners on a ship of love
And it was wrecked by the patrol
The ones they want to get rid of
And it was wrecked by the patrol

The ways in which you hurt
The ways in which you hurt
Why won't you show us
The ways in which you hurt

Have you always been alone
Did you think it wouldn't end
Did you expect us to believe
Did you expect to lose a friend

Do you still get up each day
Jogging pants and dirty shirt
Why won't you show us
The ways in which you hurt

Prisoners on a ship of love
And it was wrecked by the patrol
The ones they want to get rid of
And it was wrecked by the patrol
Prisoners on a ship of love
And it was wrecked by the patrol
The ones they want to get rid of
And it was wrecked by the patrol
Wrecked by the patrol
Wrecked by the patrol

Wrecked By the Patrol

She takes the train to Porto Fino
And she's drinking cappuccino
The train to Porto Fino
Train to Porto Fino

I could be better, so much better
But this is what it comes down to
I could be better, so much better
But this is what I am

So she don't talk to me - no more
She don't talk to me - anymore

...

Now I am just a thought
At least I am a thought

Six Chords and a Thought

I play drums & percussion, bass and guitar. I also sing and write & record some songs. Since 2002, I've made hundreds of recordings, mostly improvised. Here are just a few of them. Some of these songs were meant for my additional solo recording projects Alternastream (rock, http://www.alternastream.com) and Laser-Attack (surf rock, http://www.laser-attack.com). Also check out my other solo recording project Lhyzzard (https://soundcloud.com/lhyzzard/tracks).
