Lilacs
Down pours the darkness, down pours the rain
(the) good folk go in and close the blinds
out come the shadows, out comes the players
curtain call, the show begins


And now you see her
and now you don't



Once upon a day
in a land not far away
A stranger came to her barren land
With gold and future in his hand


(and) The promise of a world
where dreams world be fulfilled
Her pretty face and clever mind
could support the ones she left behind


So on his wings she flew
to a land she hardly knew
One thought shot through hope and fear:
'God it shure is cold out here


Down came the darkness, down came the rain
no mountains of gold in this nether land
Gone was her Stranger, in came the men
all she was now belonged to them


And now you see her
and now you don't


And now you see her
and now you don't


She remembers summer evenings
dancing underneath the trees
spinning until the world spun her
sun and dust on children's feet


'Dance my little fairy princess'
'Dance' the men and boys would shout
'Dance for rain and dance for fortune
Dance until the moon is out'


Distant seem those childhood memories
Strong hands lifting, make her fly
Now the strong hands only touch
To bring/keep her down throughout the night


Down pours the darkness, down pours the rain
(the) good folk go in and close their blinds
out come the shadows, out comes the players
curtain call, the show begins


And now you see her
and now you don't





Earth town


ladies and gents
please mind your step, we have arrived
you may now unbuckle
at least those who have survived


our crew will hand out oxygen
a faser and some foodsticks
as you leave the aircraft
just follow the yellow lit bricks


do not feed the monkeys
or the children at your feet
survival of the fittest
gives them all the chance they need


if it’s not plastic do not touch it
and hold on to your purse
should you get devoured
the four eyed woman is our nurse


Welcome to earthtown
please don’t leave the beaten path
Welcome to earthtown
emergency exits at your left


We’ve been through many species
variety’s the spice of life
Mistakes are only human
as well as our need for strife


The only green that’s left to see
is the ambush on your right
The pigment of our jealousy
and the haze across the lake at night


Welcome to earthtown
abandon hope ye who enters here
Welcome to earthtown
come get your nuclear souvenir


The bush we all remember
is the man who brought us terror
And bushes that God burned
to prove he’s still alive


Welcome to earthtown
breath in deeply while you can
Welcome to earthtown
get free cancer with your tan


Welcome to earthtown
dial 666 for help
Welcome to earthtown
please pick up after yourselves





Bunnies


Rest assured now little bunny
I will sow you back again
And everything will be
The way it was before


Rest assured now little bunny
I still love you just as much
And a silly thing like this
Will not happen anymore


Funny bunny, funny bunny...


Keep the scissors away
Just a little girl
Keep the scissors away
Just a little girl


Rest assured now little bunny
I will sow you back again
And everything will be
The way it was before


Rest assured now little bunny
I still love you just as much
And a silly thing like this
Will not happen anymore...


Funny bunny, funny bunny


Keep the scissors away
Just a little girl
Keep the scissors away
Just a little girl


Rest assured now little girl
I will sow you back again
And everything will be
The way it was before


Rest assured now little girl
Daddy still loves you very much
And a silly thing like this
Will not happen anymore
