Double Platinum Pirates

You knew I was right when I said there was no crowd
Odds you must defy if you hope you will find that black cross behind a grey stone
Roll of the dice, maybe you’ll toss right and here’s your loot of gold and jewels and shiny platinum stones
In a tavern, drowned in warm ale you’ll find me…
Ain’t no pirates, no majors other than the kind you don’t want to stare at, they walk right at you
Ain’t no treasures, ain’t no boats other than the ones you want to travel in, in a passenger seat
Ain’t no magic in this life other than the one you drink, with two limes, no straw, with so much history to sink…
In the capital X ‘Strong Bull’ was dead, following charts with no rest
Lighthouse we all follow turns out to be a myth, like the Bandits and the game of ‘spelling the Bull’ without drowning in piles of shiny diamonds
On the bow, half naked, drowned in rum you’ll find me…

‘Doo, Daddy dingly doo’ sings the daughter of the boy with no job while he’s making the ‘shake it dance’ on the hardwood floors with a grin, with a plan:
« One way ticket to a one way lane; our plots have failed, the court won’t bait no more. One last time fixin’ your hair as I watch you, gorgeous, in the glow of a job ad once more… »
‘Doo, Mommy dingly doo’ sings the son of the girl who thinks:
« Your best won’t be enough, but love is all. A plan won’t be enough, but love is all. »
‘Doo…’ Really? What just a simple song can’t do? Pleased are the ecstatic kids while their plan is:
« Get a one way ticket on a rocket ship. Their plans have failed, they found no funds no more. Once we get in our own beds all we hear and say is that, sure, we won’t get it all, but love is all. Their best might not be enough, but love will prevail and that’s all… »

John Doe#3

This poetry was worth the trip of a true love porn lobbying
Teenage anger drops tears on their plagues and felt it was the wrong day
Havin’ a ‘plus side’ state of mind and take a trip in Canada
Stop feeding the cancer of the wild drunk city dancers
When did that beat go wrong?
I swear I don’t remember… maybe 35 minutes ago?
When did the beat go wrong?
I swear I don’t remember… maybe 35 minutes ago?
You can pin that in your books and then file me as a John Doe
Accountants used to work easy in the true love porn industry
Teenage riot has been pronounced dead but still is swagged in a leather jacket
Grievin’ an European state of mind on my way back from Canada
Chased the daylight in the month of May but caught no sun anyway
When did that beat go wrong?
I swear I don’t remember… maybe 35 minutes ago?
When did the beat go wrong?
I swear I can’t remember… maybe 35 minutes ago?
You can pin that in your books and then file me as a John Doe

Stay With You
06:05

I have to step into the light where I might be out of tune, but man those big black boots… I don’t know…
I try my best but can’t help staring at those beautiful big black boots and I don’t know…
I wanna run, but I wanna stay with you, you think you’re so cool, but I don’t know…
You ain’t no star, but I wanna stay with your big black boots and I may hope…
I’ve never loved that much of all material things and never thought I could hate that much their owners. I’ve never thought peace of mind would turn me into a robber. I wanna run, I wanna stay with you, now I know…
Time has flown, no need to recall the past, I have to move along and do what needs to be done…
All along Oblivion Bridge, people will dance their brains out on their stairway to a skyline. In a sweat soaked pillow they’ll wake up wet…
All along Avignon Bridge, people will dance, preparing to sail to Asia. After my fight against fire, with my blood I’ll sign a final text.
But my foes have bombed all of the bridges. No one will dance or sail, I won’t fight, I won’t sign. I’m just a bare foot sinner.

Big John was wrong the universe is gone, no karma never got no one.
Relax and lie, be productive as a kind, the Earth’s twin is yet to be found.
Yesterday hopes about future days are stranger that the facts of nowadays.
I dream when I read, I read while I sleep. I left my car go down to the deep.
I’m seasick, I won’t cross the narrow sea, and I’ll stay with my family.
I’m road sick, I can’t make an hour drive, and I’ll stay under my shallow tree.
I can’t stand a flight those pills don’t work on me, I’ll watch a shaky-taped movie.
The people make me sick, those people frightened me but I won’t bend my knee.
A party was thrown where I was all alone, the cards were sent but no one showed up.
Big lies and lores, yes I live by the shore ‘cause there’s no mountain to climb no more.
Yesterday’s hopes about future days are stranger than the facts of nowadays.
I dream when I read, I read while I sleep. I left my car go down to the deep.

Good Night

Sleep tight and make no sound
The last good night may sound sour
Shipped late, and missed the mailman
Sheets cold dry and feels homemade crafted
Drunkship as youth grants us no excuses for mouth uses
Skipped hours and wasted times
Bubble baths and formal tides
Drunkship as youth grants us no excuses for mouth use
Celebrated and confused, both gone bad but search for love and love and more love and more…
We come and go in the zone while we’re dancing
We come and go and try to reach the love and moves that makes us sleep tight, no waste of time
We come and go in the dance … to reach the love but keepin’ in mind that there’s just some Ys worshiping’ the double X but what we all succeed to achieve is R rated. And yet we’re all faded in lust and trust and hope we won’t end alone whispering our final good night/sleep tight…

Beliefs
04:14

I fear you left, before I do, and so when I diet, I diet for two.
When you say you always knew, we reach the point where I fall for you again…
Believe me, believe me, our love is now long overdue, believing in me you never knew…
Mastermind, looking glass, reads me like an open book. Back when you found out that I never came for you at first… Back when you shredded our dirty pages and burnt our house down to the ground. You like to think of yourself as a concrete floor that I love to lie on and pray that, amongst all the waves, all I wish is that you believe me
Believe me, believe me, our love is not long overdue, relieved I’ll be if you blew it for me too…
Believe me, believe me, our love is not long overdue, believing in me you never knew

Look at them in the street, little pieces of bone,
Under the sweaty heat asking for coin to phone,
Look at them in the street enhanced by lifeless rocks,
Moving with the same beat, the fur coat deeply shocks.
Used only to be abused, to scratch and rake off lice.
When your free pass is used, when life rolls the double dice.

Dogma Donna, I can’t guess what’s on your mind and I’m running outta time with everything you do
Mad Donna, who overcooked all of my dirty deeds
Dogma Donna, all your secret lies are soaked in bleach, my tie is shaped as a noose
Dogma Donna, no matter how hard I try I’m always one step behind each of your moves
Bad Donna, no matter how hard you cry, you’re like where the wild things were
Dogma Donna, please put back on your dancing shoes, but I can barely be a witness to your mesmerizing moves
… it never felt that real but now my time, my love, my time has gone, put our past back on even if everything’s ruin … for real… can you see it again, will I see you again ‘cause my sight, my youth, my time has gone, take me back where things were right on and do it again and it never felt so real but my tie, where is it, my tie is gone, put our past back on even if everything’s ruin … and tell me will I see you again, would you meet me again ‘cause my time, my youth, my time has gone put our past back on even if everything’s ruin cause you said it’ll never feel that real but I’ll die, I’ll die, my time is gone, rewind it all cause the show gets ruined… for real… can you see me again, will I see you again ‘cause I’ll die, my youth, patience is gone to pull our past back on, turn the lights back on and do it again…

Lions & Cowards
04:49

What did I look like when we first met? Was I confident when we first met?
Locked the doors and hide away the keys. Locked my heart and claimed some extra fees.
As far as I know I had my back against the wall…
What did I look like when we first met? You could have let me drown and disappear.
As far as I know your back was not against the wall…
What did you think? Yes, you tried and tried again.
I know, you led me to roar again.
You know, from a coward you made me a lion.
You said ‘hello’ and then all wars end straight…
What if we bail and just give up? Would it be such a waste if we just gave up?
No, now I know that cowards rule the world and we won’t be treated as fools no more, it stops.
Come, let’s leave on our rocket ship, and get our backs far off the wall. Once a pirate, I’ve changed, thanks to you, Lioness.
I’ve quit all banks, I left porno stores, and I’ll be no longer referred to as a John Doe. Don’t need no pills no more, believing in me you always knew.
I let you down, but then I came back as a bare foot sinner, it now feels real and now we can do it all over again
