'Till the storm takes hold
He shatters like a psycho
Fold boy, just quit
Your body needs the fix

Storm takes hold
A thunder in the dead zone
Fold boy, just quit
The fury makes you tick

Snaps his records, will it work?
The fourth dissection makes him question if he's sane
A square boy who breathes punk, gypsy beats and smokes crack! 
Keeps believing -
- a parasite has blurred his eyes and smeared his frame
Composure was all he pushed; now he's a freak

A hazardous growth, change, wild rave
Needs therapy
Builds energy for the dream -

'Till the storm takes hold
He shatters like a psycho
Fold boy, just quit
Your body needs the fix

Storm takes hold
A thunder in the dead zone
Fold boy, just quit
The fury makes you tick

Zaps his in-ears, what's that sound?
Some pop-art fused with grimy noise and bad taste
"Hey Andy, you messed up, that's an exotic thrill!"
Keeps believing - 
- a cortex cracked

A hazardous growth, change, wild rave
Needs therapy
Builds energy for the dream -

'Till the storm takes hold
He shatters like a psycho
Fold boy, just quit
Your body needs the fix

Storm takes hold
A thunder in the dead zone
Fold boy, just quit
The fury makes you tick

LYRICS:
- - - - - - -

Guarding your door, seeing rain everyday 
Why won't you come out and play? 
Sniffing the past; like it's still '88
Blind love for Guca and Mary Jane

Blossoms on polaroids and fifty-year-old flags 
Is that your idea of change?
Dad's vinyls leave only nostalgic stains
Show me your will to go face the flames

Calling out your name like you've gone for a ride
To a time of lust that's colouring your mind
Getting high on lost days, that first kiss and dance
Are you strong enough to say 'please don't take me back'?

Re-watching kids' films from back in the day 
Why don't you hop on the train?
Embrace the tide, every new step's a fight 
Show me your will to say 'bye, bye!'

Calling out your name like you've gone for a ride
To a time of lust that's colouring your mind
Getting high on lost days, that first kiss and dance
Are you strong enough to say 'please don't take me back'

Calling out your name like you've gone for a ride
To a time of lust that's colouring your mind
Getting high on lost days, those blue flower buds
Are you strong enough to keep walking through the mud?

LYRICS:

Lives in disgrace
Says it's their fate
Sick jokes, the fad; breaks their nails to get a laugh
Plays with grenades
Lights up like mad
Jerks off to posters of guns and promised lands

That's when I see all my sisters loose their minds
I tell them "run, leave this life and fate behind
call your friends, cross the hills towards the skies
until the sun wakes and burns you in the eyes!"

Scoops up their hate
A sip and taste
Burns up their hi-fi to kill expressive style
Expecting love
Expecting praise
Keeps building anger until the end of days

That's when I see all my sisters loose their minds
I tell them "run, leave this life and fate behind
call your friends, cross the hills towards the skies
until the sun wakes and burns you in the eyes!"

And when I see all your signals in the sky
I promise you that I won't be far behind
You'll see the smoke of his old ways rising high
And you will know that his generation died

LYRICS

Call us wasted
We're in the back
Trying our best to stay sane
A pity we can't sing
In ways that makes them smile

What's the time now? 
They lie in wait
Ready to break our desires
They'll keep a watchful eye 
To make sure we're not fake

(But) The way we play
Makes them lose sight and pray 
We'll sway in pain
Make them think we're insane

Start the dreaming 
Disintegrate
Their pressure burns us alive
Don't need to be the guy 
Who tells you we can win

(Cause) The way we play 
Makes them lose sight and pray 
We'll sway in pain
Make them think we're insane

The way we play
Makes them lose sight and pray 
We'll sway in pain
Make them think we're insane

LYRICS
- - - - - - 

In a town known only as Soldier's Paradise
Lived a man and his wife
From his couch he sharpens and looks me in the eyes; 
"Sing your song and fuck off" 

This was back when sirens and bombs would get him gold
And my life was denied
To the point where all of my dreams were shot on sight

Back when all on tata's mind was his ribbons and silver teeth
While I was left with no smile
No, mama let me go, let me be
The real-life Greek tragedy

They tell me apples don't fall far from the tree
Well then, why did I fall
To a stinking pile of brown oranges filled with seeds
Made me stink while he sang; 

"You're a catastrophy, ugly-face mystery
what's your passion in life?"
I can't calm, can't carry on, stuck in misery

Tell me why was tata so proud of his red and blue leather jeans
Not of my abilities
No, mama let me go, let me be
The real-life Greek tragedy

Know that your pity is my sweet ecstasy
Fills my heart with a cause
Like King Kong, a crazy fun SexMex Balkatron
Who loves getting it on

They tell me plumbers find love but wear no ties
Well then why do I have
No one to cuddle and give me a kiss goodnight

Tell me why was tata obsessed with the Freedom Man on TV
Instead of cheering for me
No, baby come with me, can't you see 
The real-life Greek tragedy

Why did he fight and bleed in the wild 
While I was left in the dark
No, mama are you here, do you fear
The real-life Greek tragedy

Serbs need their love 
Tata says my fist should do the talking tonight
Kiss me baby, hear my call
Please join in the fight
Tata says my fist should do the talking tonight

'Till I gain all your sympathy
'Till I gain all your sympathy
'Till I gain all your sympathy

Regards from Serbia

NEW ALBUM - 'PULSE RIDDLE' (2014)

Self-proclaimed gypsy ravers Tako Lako return with a intoxicating second album, following a band overhaul in late 2013. Pulse Riddle unleashes their visionary 'gypsy rave' (think Gogol Bordello meets Depeche Mode) in full force, with explosive, percussion-driven beats and an acid-induced vibe that's more reminiscent of a psychedelic rave fest than a road-trip to the Balkans. Fiery, loud and endlessly original.

Features American independent rapper SwizZz of Funk Volume fame.
