Mash up of Wicked Games and This is not America

This Is Not A Wicked Game

On the day that I was born 

In the light before the dawn
In the twinkling of the fading stars
In the strumming of guitars
In the distant sounding horn

In the branches of the yew
In the texture of a fleeting cloud
In the shadow of a shroud
In the scent of morning dew 


In the rustling of the leaves
In the flutter of a startled bird
In the far off thunder heard
In the earth that shakes and heaves

In the trembling of the ground
In the feeling of a strange unease
In the sudden gust of breeze
In the air a rising sound

Fate rode on a unicorn
Earth trapped in a ring of fire
Life stood on a tightrope wire
On the day that I was born 


In the breach a blinding flash
In the river of a scorching glow
In the pyroclastic flow
In the surge of burning ash

In the tide of molten stone
In the burning of what once was life
In the spectre of a knife
In the castle she’s alone

Fate rode on a unicorn
Earth trapped in a ring of fire
Life stood on a tightrope wire
On the day that I was born

The Day That I Was Born (featuring Mr Mole)

Les sensations de glisse

Chilling on a summer afternoon
But the rain is falling
Got to find a way across the dune
‘Cause the surf is calling

Never going to find a way
Till I’m riding a wave, together with you
Never going to find the day
Till I’m matching the rhyme and rhythm with you 

Vivid atmosphere
Repli de plaisir
Blended with the scene
Flux d'adrénaline
Spiritual calm
Quitte le mélodrame
Find an inner peace
Les sensations de glisse

Climbing up and over sandy hills
Now the sun is shining
Get into the flowing natural skills
In the silver lining 

Never going to find a way
Till I’m riding a wave, together with you
Never going to find the day
Till I’m matching the rhyme and rhythm with you 

Vivid atmosphere
Repli de plaisir
Blended with the scene
Flux d'adrénaline
Spiritual calm
Quitte le mélodrame
Find an inner peace
Les sensations de glisse

Les Sensations De Glisse

hey now (cover) by london grammar

Out of the blue

Lost soul in an empty day
Left home but she lost her way
Confused
By a million views

Up, down to the left and right
Pushed around by those out of sight
No sense
In a web of pretence

But I wonder what she would say
If I told her she’s okay
Clear eyes
Looking up at the skies

And I wonder what she would do
If a thunderbolt out of the blue
Set fire
To a spark of desire.

Stepped out on a golden day
No doubt that I know my way
At ease
With the rivers and trees

In tune with the harmony
I can feel it deep inside of me
In time
'Cause I’m on the right line

But I wonder what I would say
If she whispered in my ear one day
We’re free
Let’s go down to the sea

And I wonder what I would do
If a thunderbolt out of the blue
Set fire
To a spark of desire.

We went out on a rainy day
In a calm and familiar way
Cloud cleared
And the sunshine appeared

One path to infinity
Two hearts make a trinity:
One mind
Forever entwined

But I wonder what we would say
Walking together on a beach one day
Warm air
With the wind in our hair

And I wonder what we would do
With a thunderbolt out of the blue
Still higher
Everlasting desire.

Out Of The Blue

Skeleton Key

There’s a man on the corner
And he’s looking at me
I’ve seen him twice before
And today makes three

He’s making me so nervy
My mind is topsy turvy
I’ve taken something fizzy
But it only makes me dizzy

Why can’t he get out of my world?
Shiver down my spine, I’m feeling so cold.
I have a creepy sense that he’s following me
Picking at my lock with a skeleton key.

I’ve been standing on the corner
Since a quarter to three
I really don’t know why
She doesn’t recognise me.

She seems so oblivious
Supsects the insidious
Sees the nefarious
For reasons precarious

How can I get into her world?
Looking for a place to gain a foothold
I have a hazy sense that’s dawning on me
Opening a lock with my skeleton key.

There’s a face in the mirror
And he’s looking at me
There’s a voice in my ear
Screaming “That’s not me!”

Something immaterial
Spirit-like ethereal
Extra-terratorial
Multiply-factorial

Infiltrating into my world
Something passed across a forbidden threshold
I have an edgy sense that he’s trying to reach me
Picking at my lock with a skeleton key.

She’s on the other side 
And she’s looking at me
I’m pressing on the glass
But I can’t break free

I feel there is a tension
Pervading her dimension
Is this a contravention
Of physical convention?

Images pass between the two worlds
Duplicate paths on different manifolds
Endless task of impossibility
Searching for a lock for my skeleton key.

Skeleton Key

In Brixental  

Das Haus ist hoch 
Und immer noch 
Der Berg nah liegt 
Der Adler fliegt 
Der Mann versteht Wohin er geht 
Der letzte Steg 
Der wahre Weg 
Und in der Luft 
Ein schöner Duft 
Ein Sonnenstrahl 
In Brixental

My love is electric

I offer my assistance
You keep your distance
Raise your resistance
Feed my persistance.
Your perspicacity
My sheer audacity
Overcapacity
Lacking in veracity.
Don't let go
When electrons flow
In the vivid afterglow
Of an atmospheric show.
Div, grad, curl,
You're my Faraday girl
I may be a geek
But my love is electric.

Don't let go
When electrons flow

Field instructor
Charge inductor
Deconstruct a
Semiconductor.
Listen to me sister
Put it in a twister
Your resistor
My transistor.
ACDC
Never was easy
Light and breezy
A little bit cheesy.
My voltage is high
And I don't know why
I may be unique
But my love is electric

Don't let go
When electrons flow

Techno or hip hop?
Check it in a flipflop
Down in a coffee shop
Looking at my laptop.
Are you a record breaker?
Are you a money maker?
Are you a trouble maker?
Do you need a circuit breaker?
Oscillator
Generator
Will we create a
New Terminator?
A flashing LED
Won't phase me
I may be oblique
But my love is electric.

Don't let go
When electrons flow

Dampen your amplitude
Modulate your attitude
Longitude and latitude
Happiness and gratitude.
Live performer
Life transformer
Hotter or warmer
Non conformer.
Put a live wire
In an amplifier
Set it on fire
With a multiplier.
I'm doing very well
Under Maxwell's spell
I may be a freak
But my love is electric.

My Love Is Electric

Naked in Nirvana

The glistening of the sea
The sense of you and me
Birds up in the sky
Make me want to fly

The warm wind in the air
Blows through this love affair
Taste the honeydew
Dive into the blue

There's no excuse
We're breaking loose
Just feel the heat
Don't miss a beat
DJ
We're dancing in a free way

I think of you
In shades of blue
A midnight glow
Of indigo
Karma 
We're naked in nirvana

Another day of bliss
The feeling of your kiss
Sunlight on your skin
Calms the soul within

All heaven is ablaze
In golden setting rays
Silent in a trance
Inner game of chance

There's no excuse
We're breaking loose
Just feel the heat
Don't miss a beat
DJ
We're dancing in a free way

I think of you
In shades of blue
A midnight glow
Of indigo
Karma 
We're naked in nirvana
