dEUS - Let's See Who Goes Down First

I was walking down the river
Playing solitary quiver
I was thinking about a million different lives.
She came dancing up a mountain
Spread here whiteness like a fountain
And a hint of broken turquoise in her eyes.

She came all the way to say I didn’t stand
A single chance the state that I was in.

I said:
“Your soul it is a swaying”.
She said:
“Hey that’s a pretty saying,
But unfortunately it is not true”.

She said:
“You’re just looking for another to love you”.

Now we all know the world is dying
And expenses multiplying
But you could try to take it easy too.
Let me take you for a ride
I will take you for a ride
‘Cause in time
You’ll be mine
When you’re mine
It’ll be oh so fine yeah!

At the time I wasn’t feeling that good.
I wasn’t longing for a strange delight
I wasn’t flashing on the dark at night
I wasn’t going for no periodic mood.

I wasn’t suffering no odd disease
I never thought of it as no unease
But when it called me I just had to let it loose
It never made me wonder or ever think
Just merely tapping on my instinct
It left me there and I wasn’t left to choose.
Now I heard stories about this kind of thing
It haphazardly just sucks you in,
Makes you do stuff you never thought you’d do.

One night it drove me to despair
What if anybody had seen me there
To this day I still wonder how they knew.

They started spreading rumours about my state
You know how it goes around this place,
Now and then they just need someone to screw.

My senses numb but I could feel
Four, five years taken out of me.
If you’d ask me, there’s no way I could prove.

The smell of hysteria was chemical,
The air around me thick and physical,
My mind was racing but myself I couldn’t move.
It had me running, running, running, running, …

Now I heard stories about this kind of thing,
It doesn’t lose it just lets you win
With a little bit of luck you don’t come out too bruised.

Such anger that I couldn’t vent
So much energy I couldn’t spend
It would have fucked me over if I hadn’t cut it loose – YEAH
I wasn’t suffering no odd disease
I never thought of it as no unease,
Next time it calls me I’ll be ready
‘CAUSE I KNOW

dEUS - Everybody's Weird

Everybody’s weird

So everybody came, but you’re here to have some fun

And everyone’s the same, well that’s faster said than done.

And you’re such a lovely guy but it doesn’t take so much

To get all there is out, all the dirt and all the sludge.

You’re stepping on my sun

And it’s such a lot of fun

Better smile before it’s gone

You’re stepping on my sun

And the liquor that you had

Is playing twister with your mind

You been artificially sad

But never naturally high

I was flashing on a thought

On a party in this town

If I said what’s on my mind

There’d be not a soul around.

You’re stepping on my sun

And it’s such a lot of fun

Better smile before it’s gone

You’re stepping on my sun.

It’s easier to trust

If it comes down to this my friend

I will help you if I must

I will kill you if I can

Experience is cheap

And you know that in the end

I will kill you if I must

I will help you if I can

You’re stepping on my sun

And it’s such a lot of fun

Better smile before it’s gone

You’re stepping on my sun

‘Cause everybody’s weird

And they all think they’re God

But the biggest one they fear is that precious thing you got.

The fire in your eyes

Is a subtlety I know

And you will not be denied

But the service is so slow

dEUS - The Ideal Crash

Stay by my side, it's over

the ride isn't what I told you

the painkiller-side of this night

is to not look behind it's over

I have been told about longing

a feeling so old. it's dead.

I must have been misled

so stay be my side. I'm sorry.

I'm drawing myself the ideal crash

but I know I won't believe me.

There'll be a time you'll leave me.

Stay by my side. It's sexy

the way that we talk about stuff

the way that we laugh with love

the way that we're falling off.

CRASH you're life's been sucking 'cause you wanna mess

around. can anybody down you with a

CRASH another way of saying that you like to make it

up as you move along. If it's a lot, show them what you got.

Stay by my side. I want you

continue the theme that's us

even though it's only lust

the painkiller-side of this life.

I'm drawing myself the ideal crash

and I know I won't believe me.

How can a man kill gently

how long before it's all done

how can he leave someone

how can he do it softly?

CRASH you're life's been sucking 'cause you wanna mess

around. can anybody down you with a

CRASH another way of saying that you like to make it

up as you move along. If it's a lot, show them what you got

CRASH you're gonna go to hell with a certain inclination

try and make it sell and then you

CRASH you're gonna have to take yourself out of

circulation into something else

If it's a lot, show them what you got

Right now I need my hands, to cover this shit up

I need my eyes to see where I'm going, and I need someone...

Stay by my side, it's sexy

the way that we talk about stuff

the way that we laugh with love

the way that we're falling off.

dEUS - The Magic Hour

I had a plan, was all made up
An angel was sent, for keeping all troubles away.
'Cause lady and I, we could not stop
As cool as a sigh, as volatile as something you say.

I had a dream, a simple plot
I held out my hand as if she'd never pushed it away.
The sun is still there, except it's not
Beside her I care to linger even though it's not safe.

Godawful I adore you
Angels were there before you
Nothing can stop what we do
It's breaking us up in two.

Hey maybe should we ask it
Could our friends be worthier.
Like things we trust for if we must
We must burn them.
And burn them good, real friends they would
Be understanding if it came to us
And us we must we must turn to
The God of small things.
The God of small things.

I had a plan, was all made up,
As good it was then the magic hour seemed to be fading.
'Cause lady and I we could not stop
As cool as a sigh, as murderous as something you say.

Godawful I adore you
Angels were there before you
Nothing can stop what we do
It's breaking us up in two.

There is room if you can trust
For anyone like us

dEUS - Magdalena

You drive too fast
can you please shut up
I'll call the police
if you don't stop.

You're just trying to scare me
you want me to know
that you're not this precious
little thing you hold.

You're afraid you say (and you're never sure)
of the coming day (if what you've seen before)
and I'm not that handsome (is what you'll see again)
anyway (In remembering)

But I'm feeling good
and if you don't exist
you're still one illusion
that I can't resist

Now you're holding back
and I'm holding on
Heaven knows what you want.
'Cause kicks like these
they're coming fast
but watching how long they last.

It's a funny time
to fall in love
feels like something pulled me up
to see me fall right off.
You drive too fast
but I don't care
wherever's fine
just take me there.

Now I'm holding back
and you're moving on
Heaven knows what I want
'Cause on a day like this
I'd believe anything
I don't know where to begin.

One for your coming
two for your shoes
Your buccaneer loving
and suicide moods
I wanna move
don't figure out much
into the new
[and] out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness

into the new, out of the blackness......

dEUS - Sister Dew

Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done?
All my life I've only loved the one.
I was taught to be tolerant and plain
I was taught a million things I can't explain.

It must have been the hatred in her eyes
It must have been the power to her lies
Tell me sister there's a place where I can hide

Oh my sweet this is how it did unfold
No my body never felt so calm and cold.
All around us there were people in the park.
No my senses never felt so clear and stark.

And I swear that she saw it in my way
And I'm sure that she heard it in my voice
Tell me sister please I didn't have a choice.

I enjoyed to see her being idle
She never had no worries, nothing vital
From the day I met her to the final... afternoon.
There was something there I can't describe it
We were kicking ass we didn't fight it.
She never once suspected, that she had it... coming soon.

Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done?
All my life I've only loved the one.
I was raised with compassion and they said
I was loved for the loving that I spread

Now the only thing remaining is this chill.
And the only emptiness I need to fill
Is understanding what it is that made me kill.

Please forgive me if I keep on smiling
But every sad story has a funny side in
From that moment on I felt like crying... every day.
All around us there were people screaming
For half a second I thought I was dreaming
My baby looked at me her eyes were beaming,
I walked away.

Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done?
All my life I've never loved no one.
So it dawned on me this should be the place
Now the only thing I crave is an embrace.

So let your tender wisdom be mine
And let me come to you like a child
I'd like to stick around here for a while.

dEUS - Instant Street

You're probably right, seen from your side, that I've been lucky
but I've been meaning to crack all week.
Yes I've been involved, it never resolved into anything shocking.
Pains playing yoyo in my body as we speak.

And now I found something to look for, but I can't decide,
'Cause I might find that to stroll behind is better than to score.
Just like I did before.

I t wouldn't be true, not towards you, to say that I'm staying.
When on every single impulse, on every other move I react.
'Cause in any old creek, with changing technique, you'll see me playing.
After any old motherfucking blow I'll be back.

We turned away from instant stuff
our cracking codes were breaking up
our words were sucked out it made them clean.
And after lowness say it
and after more let it be known
Our codes are grown into something mean.

You're probably right, as for tonight, you're making me nervous.
What is it you want me to be thinking of?
I'll put on a movie, I'll play something groovy as a matter of service
And I'll chuckle when you smile as a matter of love.
'Cause you know it's not my style to be giving up now.
And this pain in my side, I had enough.

This time I go for Instant Street
This life's a soulless excuse for all abuse and parenthesis.
The flyspecked windows and the stinking lobbies
they'll remain all the same, all the same.

This time I go. This time I go...
