1.) SILVER STRINGS Silver strings, build a pair of wings
and fly away
I can not see you more today
Cause we're going out without our guitars
I hear the radio, baby, in the devil's car
And we're gonna go out and never come back
I'm gonna be so silent, hear my heart attack
Little king, I do not want to sing
Please go back to the tree
and do not follow me
Cause we're going out without our guitars
I play the radio, baby, in the devil's car
And we're gonna go out, and we might never come back
The night is so silent, hear the guitar attack
2.) DRAGON #2 Out of the dark, out of the night
something's coming under the star light
Just keep going, always look ahead
The age-old dragon rears its head
Some said say it's living, some say it's dead
The sky is red, the road is long
joined together in a song
There is nowhere in the world you can hide
from this awful lullaby
You can take this curse from me
to the land of dangerous mystery
Just keep going, always look ahead
Some say it's living, some say it's dead
Please always remember what I said
The road is long, but I don't care
joined together but beware
There is nowhere in the world you can hide
from this awful lullaby
3.) THE KING OF ELECTRIC GUITARS The king of electric guitars
brought under wayfarer stars
Is this the life that you left me?
Please tell me
The king of the (records) and hearts
moved (to the millions) from cards
Go throw yourself to the hounds
Love has no sound
Laughter's the mythical lion
And when you are weak it's so hard to find you
Go throw yourself out the door
And speak of love no more
4.) SUNDAY Sunday came so suddenly, I heard the raindrop fell
High, low, but you will never tell
I won't go outside today, I'll just go back to bed
Tick, tock, the clock inside my head
And it's one, two, three raindrops fall
This trip around the world was better than them all
5.) 13 BEES
(until i'm gone, until i'm dead, i'll be making a wish on this
empty head)
6.) RIDDLE OF THE CHAMBERLAIN Did you ever find the light that we left behind?
Can you feel the snake bite you in your mind?
It's true
It's true
Did you ever find an instrument that you can't play?
Please look back and wave when you leave today
It's true
It's true
All right, we're moving closer to the universal night
All right, under the apple tree we can all be free
All right, we're moving closer to the universal night
All right, under the apple tree we can all be free
All right
All right
