SMAILYKS

I TOOK ACID IN AMSTERDAM
IN A COLD NIGHT THEN I WENT DANCING
WITH QUEENS IN LATHER, AND THE YOUTH OF HOLLAND
IN A MAGIC CIRCLE, BOYS AND GIRLS

WE TOOK ACID IN THE AMAZON
WE WERE ON A TOUR AND WE WENT PLAYING
OH, I WAS BORN THERE, AND MY BROTHER TOO
WE PLAYED THE BEST AND FELT SO GOOD

I TOOK ACID IN SAO PAULO
IN A RAINY NIGHT THEN I WENT DANCING
THAT’S WHERE I LIVE, THAT’S WHERE I FIND MYSELF
AMONG MY FRIENDS TO PARTY

PLASTIC

YOU WANNA MAKE ME FEEL THE RIGHT EMOTION
THEN YOU GONNA DO IT GOOD TO ME
YOU EXPECT TO RAISE SUCH DEEP EMOTIONS
AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY I'LL DO WITH YOU
YOU CAN BREAK MY BODY AND SUCK MY SOUL
IT’S SO SIMPLE, IT’S SO SIMPLE, IT’S SO SIMPLE

I'LL SEE YOU IN SAO PAULO
I'LL MEET YOU IN RIO SOMETIME SOON
I'LL SEE YOU IN SAO PAULO
I'LL LOVE YOU IN RIO

BRAVE

DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO BE MY GIRL?
DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO BE MY GIRL?
ANGELS GUIDE HER, ANGELS GUIDE HER
DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO BE MY SON?
DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO BE MY SON?
ANGELS GUIDE HIM, ANGELS GUIDE HIM
DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO MAKE LOVE TO ME?
DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO MAKE LOVE TO ME?
ANGELS GUIDE HER, ANGELS GUIDE HER
SHE’S A VERY BRAVE HUMAN BEING
I’M A VERY BRAVE HUMAN BEING
ANGELS GUIDE US, ANGELS GUIDE US
LIFE IS CELEBRATION, WE GOTTA HAVE IT LARGE, EXTRA LARGE
ANGELS GUIDE US, ANGELS GUIDE US
DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO MAKE LOVE TO ME?
DO YOU WANNA COME HERE TO MAKE LOVE TO ME?
ANGELS GUIDE HER, ANGELS GUIDE HER
WE ARE VERY BRAVE HUMAN BEINGS
WE ARE VERY BRAVE HUMAN BEINGS

GET ME OUT OF THIS MEAT OF COMEBACK

EVERYDAY, EVERY SINGLE DAY

KILL

DON’T BELIEVE ALL THE LIES

F.D.P.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO YOU RIGHT NOW
I DON’T KNOW WAHT TO SAY, BUT I DO KNOW WHAT I MEAN

FILHO DA PUTA!!!

OK TO DIE

I see the lines, They're WHITE lines, And they're coming inside me
My BRAIN is working, More than you think, And they are there again… the lines
The WHITE lines, laughing from the mirror
Asking to come inside mE
And you'RE awake, my conscious, you're waiting
You say that I can DIE

"I'M GONNA DIE AS ANYONE ELSE", I answer you
It doesn't matter to die noW, hErE
Because it's never too sOOn
And today is a good day
Like any other day or night
It's OK to DIE … It's OK to DIE
It's OK … to DIE
It's okay TO die, Like any other day or night
It'S Okay TO die

But I must say that there is just pain
And if I can get some reliefe
It dOESN't matter
If you do FucK my brain or all of me

THE

Future ... Future is in the hands of ordinary men
We show we rule, we break bonds, we dig in changes
Survive, survive all the trash we've put inside ourselves:
TV, fast food, religion, misinformation, money, hatred, war.

Oh, oh, oh... the wind blows and there you go
Oh, oh, oh... the smoke I drag you're flying with!

Future... future is deep, deep is out, it never comes
It's always ahead as we play with time, we loose faith in ourselves
Free... free spaces fast turn into brand new places
that's why I know we must change, 'cause everything is turning too.

We fall, then why do we think we know how?
How come we think we know so much if we don't know...
the cure / our kind / peace time!

JAZZY FANTAZY

I'm glad I can rumble past old sideways of town
Stepping on vials of crack while I wave to the whores
Standing on dusty corners, empty, waiting for their dusty men
I'm glad the buildings just stand where they are
And the ground and the sky keep all elements in between
And the sounds of the city, horns, banks, radio and death
Come smooth to my ears
I'm glad that money is sometimes less abound
And the kids do their things while adults watch dry
And the night when it falls, it brings black men to the streets
So I can step on a stage and live my

Jazzy Fantazy

I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad, glad and cold
I find the city floating up against the sky
And it drowns under sunshine, and the neon lights
Bring outside a new, crazy, different, weird life
I'm glad although those who carry the seeds of corruption
They're doing well, oh, they're doing well

SPIRITUAL SKY

I'll talk, talk, talk it up now
for feelings I've been longing looking for
Jesus and Buddha and me myself too,
We watch my crescent despair and we don't like to
The shadow is behind me and I swing to make it live,
Creating clouds we make it rain like our own tears
Dum, jump, clear your way out of my way,
Walking past people I swear I've seen before somewhere

Brother, Father, stand by me now
Sister, mother, you dig the power within

With my hands full of hatred I reach the stairs and jump the steps down
I get closer to you and empty my hands on your face
Social ambiguities and differences of sex are a tiny line we can cross
On a comfortable mattress, in a rainy night
So touch me, I'll touch you, and hold me
I'll hold you like fork and knife on my dining table
It took me many nights crying,
It took me many nights asking, why, why, why

ACID STREAM

I've seen places burning, I've seen hip young people running
In the town Mr. Lou Reed has sang about
Redning lights and stupid roaches,
I share my room with they see
The shame I feel, I can't hold myself on to this fight anymore

I'd love to see you get up, stand up, move up
Not down, not down, not down

See the waves our bodies create on the air
Streams of drunkness we take like
sedated tigers of a bum circus
I'd wanna get a fix to, to free my mind, and loose my time
But even junk won't be able, to bring out what I feel

Oh, streams of ecstasy, oh, places where I've been
Oh, overdrive and white noise
I swim on waves of purple light
Oh, Morrissey I love you, Johnny Marr, how are you, man?

HEAVEN!

Cesar, don't blame your addictions and passions
This disease don't belong to you (It's a lie!)
Cesar, sure, you have reasons to cry
But don't be afraid of tonight, nor anynight! See...
I dreamed you were in a happy place, Partying as ever with other happy men
When you die your name will be of a star

It's heaven now! / Is it heaven now?
Oh, Cesar ! / Oh, my friend!
If you wanna it, baby, you got it!

Cesar, there are plenty ways to live with this
I agree it sucks but you've got to be strong
Cesar, don't ask for sorrow, don't ask for tears
And your friends owe you at least a little respect
Although they now pretend to be strangers
They are fucking afraid of what they can't understand
If you need someone now, please knock at my door
Those who love you will always be by your side

BUST

Gimme sun, gimme moon, gimme peace, Gimme a date, a place, a time
And I'll follow you, and fall for you, and rise and fall again
We hit places at the same time,
You gottta a sentence and I won't back
You come my way and smile my way, dig it's madly hurting me!

I wanna be busted
Inside out, outside in, up side down, down side up
I wanna be busted
After I've shown you the way into my life again

I'm shy and make no promises
Won't try to pretend nothing ever happened
But I see a crowd, I hide behind them
And shake and panic like a drunk man
Now on fucking TV I see murder pictures
They're not just war, they're also love
If only my brothers could understand
My guilty mind is sick and tired of this

I wanna be nailed, like the man, like the man, like the man

I KNOW YOU LIKE TO BRING ME DOWN

You've gonna away, I'm here forever
I think about the crazy things you do I can't understand
I wonder now you are away, If you miss me as I do
I know you like to bring me down

Don't wanna know what 'ya have to say, I've had enough

ANGUISH

Save your words for a better world, Try anguish and hatred, see if they fit
I bet not although sometimes they help
'Cause nonsense and prejudice have a seat in the power, in your mind
Take care ' yourself and love those you care
Don't let the hard days make a monster out of you
And when you say you don't want me,
How dare you say you don't love me?

So don't stay, don't stay, don't want you here
All I feel Is anguish. It comes from deep, anguish!

Keep your tongue inside or bring it out to kiss me
And what you want you can't have
A job, a car, friends and hapinness,
They're outside, what you need is inside
Save your words for better days
Don't spoil my ears with nothings and everythings
And when you say you don't want me
How dare you say you don't want me?

So don't stay, don't stay, don't want you here
All I feel Is anguish. It comes from deep, anguish!
All i feel is anguish, I've never been so low
I feel like I got to die, To end the brief story of my life

NonSensE #2

We'd like to fast and drink all happiness
Fall flat on the floor to celebrate all things that are
We're misfits, we're lunatics, we're freaks, we do like chicks
We talk the news we feel fit, now and ever
Oh, dear, you know, this girl is stoned
She stands before the chaos, smiles and sings
While black angels clap their wings for her

It's not a party, It's celebration,
It's not chick at all, it's for anybody
We've come so far this time around and ever will
We'd like to share a world with you if you dare
listen low whispers, sighs
We play the way we get to feel the world,
fell it stinky around us
Oh, dear, you know, this girl is stoned
She walks like this, she moves like that, she's way up there
She turns into anything you want, love, candy, night

JOSEPHINE

I tell you what
You know, Once I met a girl
Her name was josephine
She was young, she was just a teen
Yeah, seventeen, my josephine!

She turned up a beautiful girl

Once upon a time I had this girl
She taught me things, she showed me wings
She flew me within
Ah, my josephine!

INSIDE

There is a light
Oh man, I feel, I got try
Try what I see, As fun time
I see the dark, But I see light
I dive in smoke, I feel fine
I see spots of colour, Rainbow inside
It rains inside, It shines

I see the dark, But I see light
I jump inside, and I go deeper
And what I find is desire
My soul is shining, I reach a hand
I hold it tight, you're with me,
Inside
You got me inside,
I am inside

I am floating, I am high, inside
