Incredible Nose

People run away ahead of their feet
Businesses are closing as I'm walking down the street
Everyone around knows I'm a freak
Everyone around knows that I'm sick

I'm gonna blow my incredible nose

Children start to cry a dozen blocks away
Narcomans and prostitutes are calling it a day
The third little piggie put his house for sale
Asking almost nothing but to no avail

I'm gonna blow my incredible nose

Aliens are leaving for their home world
A superfast computer is abandoned by a nerd
Jedediah Smith has finally gone to hell
Consider the alternative - he rather chose well

I'm gonna blow my incredible nose

Чёрные горы

Под синим небом сидит крутая обезьяна
Выросла скромной и без малейшего изъяна
Блохи, что скачут по ней, её уважают
За горизонтом облака витают

Чёрные горы стоят за дальними морями
Чёрные горы хранят чужую тайну

Гномы на грядках растят алмазы и рубины
Каждую тысячу лет справляют именины
В пламени жарком они вовсе не сгорают
Все их боятся но не уважают

Чёрные горы стоят за дальними морями
Чёрные горы хранят чужую тайну

Красный дракон расправляет крылья над землёю
Гномы ложатся в кроватки в своих покоях
А обезьяна всю ночь пьёт, пока не пьяна
Гномы не могут жить как обезьяна

Чёрные горы стоят за дальними морями
Чёрные горы хранят чужую тайну

New Day

Новый день встает планеты голубой
Каждый, кто живет -- не обделен судьбой
Хватит нам страдать бессмысленной борьбой

Страхи и тоска приходят ночью
В сердце пустота была бы проще
Но тогда любви не стало б тоже
Той, что в нас горит -- и днем, и ночью

Green Alien Thing

Green alien thing
Came to my dinner
Green alien thing
Ate all of my cake
That's rather okay
Maybe I'll become thinner
And maybe green alien thing
Will gain too much weight

Green alien thing
Came to my party
Green alien thing
Drunk six-packs like one glass
That's rather okay
'Cause I need to stay tidy
And maybe green alien thing
Will fall on its ass

Green alien thing
Came to watch television
Green alien thing
Turned it up way too much
That's rather okay
'Cause I can load ammunition
And maybe green alien thing
Can have a bullet for lunch

Mechanical World

Mechanical world
Has formed around us
Mechanical world
Has caught us in the grind
With no time to rest
No time to realize
That there's something else
We left not far behind

The crystal clear lake is playing with light
The forest is transparent around
The stars are shining brightly in the sky without a cloud
And the half moon tops it all like a crown

Unlight

Through the darkness of ages
I saw a little speck of light
I can still feel my way
But I wonder what's beyond the night

The truth I found in that part of the world
Was that the Universal Light is not

Both forever and never
Are a very long but finite time
Whole worlds turn to dust
And the brightests stars cease to shine

Dagger

Don't tell me you didn't know
Don't tell me you got me wrong
Your dam cannot stop my flow
Your love never was so strong

My hopes were slowly dying
You never gave up your pride
Right now you may be crying
But you were too long too blind

I hope you will recover
I hope you will be fine
Brought gifts from another lover
You will be forgetting mine

I found a different road
My own way under the sun
Don't build impossible hopes
What's gone is forever gone

Wait A Minute

Wait a minute
Please wait for a minute
Wait a minute
Please give me some time
Wait a minute
Just one single minute
Wait a minute
Let me gather my mind

Got to talk
But I don't know how
Got to talk
But I don't know when
Got to talk
And I think time is now
Got to talk
But I'm not ready again

Camarillo

Пасмурное небо
светит чёрным светом
Чёрные холмы
стоят по сторонам
Кончилось навеки
праздничное лето
Титулы вернулись
к нашим именам

Чёрная дорога
скрыта в чёрных лужах
Слепят набегая
яркие огни
Кончилась навеки
временная дружба
Снова наступили
пасмурные дни

No Problem

Bitterness I feel every time I see you
Has finally declined and almost gone away
I don't understand why should I believe you
Even if you lie it doesn't matter anyway


Blaze

Pushing hell's back door bell button
With your foot
Hear the demons' choir welcoming you
The engine hardly can take any more
The light is flashing
But you choose to ignore
Pushing hell's back door bell button
With your foot

Behind The Pine Tree

Put it in
Let it solidify
If they ask
You can always deny
You can't find
Things like that on the ground
Give it fire
It can possibly fly

Can you find in the sky
A particular star
Never cancel countdown
When ready to start
Everyone who resists
Should be ready to die
Is it time to decide
If we're getting too far

Cosmic Wind

Yeah, I followed you along
To the other side
Everything that has gone wrong
Never will be right

Stars are shining brighter than
Ever seen before
You said you could fly to them
And I said, "What for?"

String of psychedelic lights
Marks the only way
Follow it into the night
Toward the ocean wave

On a cliff above the world
Looking down again
Oversees another lord
The descent of man

Universe is storming today
Cosmic wind will blow you away

(Amorphis - Holopainen)

My Kantele

Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulders
From a water-dog's hooked bones:
It was moulded from sorrow

Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments
And its pegs from other ills
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
(translation attempt)

Песня о моем кантеле

Они явно лгут, несут полный вздор
Те, кто говоря о музыке, считают, что кантеле
Было создано богом
Из челюстей широких щуки
Из зубов огромной рыбы:
Оно собрано из скорби

Его короб -- из тяжких дней
Дека -- из бездонного горя
Струны сплетены из мук
Колки сделаны из несчастий
Сказки лгут -- это вздор, что они говорят

A very short story for dessert: A Very Small Meteorite - obviously "inspired" by the Hitchhiker's Guide.
