1. ART GALLERY

In my art gallery some strange things happen
By the way , it's the opening day
Welcome in let your mind fly away
Have some wine , we ask you to stay
There are paintings that kisses

With their frames the chandelier they misses
and if a fountain of silver and gold you'll find
just pick a coin , make a wish and a rhyme
Ridiculous art of concrete and steel
explaining the world but looks like a broken wheel

Here in my gallery
Welcome in
It's a house of joy a house of sin

Skeleton sculptures with hollow red eyes
purple glass spiders walking on lines
A hundred rainbow colored swords
ringing like a church carillon

Snake like rusty plumbing
crawl under the ceiling
buckled steel plates like dragon scales
A white cold breath like rime on my brim
Is this truth or fiction . . .
It's what you want it to be

Here in my gallery
Welcome in
It's a house of joy a house of sin
Stay in my gallery Why don't you come in
I'm waiting for you Where have you been

In my gallery there's always fun
No need to be afraid , no need to run
It's so very bright , so full of sun
and it's my loving doll , my honey bun . . .

Once there was a man
that came in here
He told me his dreams
he's in another sphere
sucked up in the color stage
it's just another page
He reached a higher level
This can go on forever

Why not Pablo Picasso , maybe Renoir
It's so easy to decide in here - you can't go to far

The same man that came in here
he was lost in his dream, it was fun and so surreal
He was dancing in the colour stage
with the skeletons and the purple spiders
He said, how can this be so real..

Why not Pablo Picasso , maybe Renoir
It's so easy to decide in here - you can't go to far

White pearl statues smiling in marble halls
A flock of seagulls on the northern wall
Black Velvet skies in big blue eyes
I think I saw Jimmy H in the haze
Crystal windows on the third floor
sugar cane fences down below
A little boy beside his mum
A poor man dressed in rags

I'm here - I feel - okay - here I'll stay
jump in - be the mouse - in my maze
Be the mouse in my maze
I'm the cat , so let's race

Then they came - the critics of fame
They scrutinize with big brother eyes

Sipping red wine telling lies
A point or two shoot the dice

An old man with tired eyes
A student with books in his hands
They understand much more than you know
They don't even have a plan

Sipping red wine telling lies
A point or two now shoot the dice - shoot the dice

What did the old man say when he left his physic sphere
- " My dreams are deceptions , of better times out here"
But this lovely dreamlands makes the life much more bright

To come here and fly away , after night , night after night

3. STARBORN

We are star born - children of the cosmic dust
Walking the soil a short time decaying like rust
A journey through the ages
On the big blue sphere

It's a walk through the stages
Over thousands of years

Through the night and through the light
We have traveled a long time
Mother Earth ship , are we going nowhere

Walk on through the ages
Corrupting the earth
It's a walk through the stages
In the great space of birth

We come from the stars
Creatures we are
No chains , no bars
Can stop the evolution car

In the quest for knowledge
We have to open our hands
Try to be receptive and not
Write it down in sand

Walk on through the ages
A perpetual change
It's a walk through the stages
Search again and again

Astral travelers from the soil
We are burning the midnight oil

Do we ever get to shore
Are we ever gonna stop
Human race wants more and more
Is there still some hope

Walk on through the ages
A perpetual change
It's a walk through the stages
Search again and again

We come from the stars
Creatures we are
No chains , no bars
Can stop the evolution car

Astral travelers from the soil
We are burning the midnight oil
It's the mankind's eternal curse
It's the order of the universe . . .


4. HOUSE OF PLENTY

This dirty mansion old and gray
Have once upon a time seen better days
The window now abide in gloom
There's no one living in these rooms
The masters left it long ago
Abandoned shadows dwell within its walls

This house have had its palmy days in joy
Once the girls would dance and sing
The boys played by the pool
It was a house of plenty
A pleasure to the eye
The golden age went by

Now gloomy shadows wanders through these rooms
Deserted to the dancing dust
and echoes of the past
From a house of plenty
Then something flickered by
The corner of my eye

I do not know his history
Or who this shape once was
His eyes looks sad drained on faith
He hovers just an inch or two
Above the dusty floor
A face so pale , with a hollow soul

He's reaching out his hand
Displays a golden coin
It's not important anymore

The old man told a tale of long ago
An age of wealth and prosperity
An age that soon would die
At the house of plenty
A pleasure to the eye
That golden age went by

This mansion old and gray
Have once upon a time
Seen better days
The masters left it long ago
Abandoned shadows dwell within its walls

No matter what all wealth can bring
In the end it do not mean a thing
If visions fade and hope decays
If future plans ideals bertay

You'd better you'd better watch out
for every house of plenty . . .


5. THE WANDERER

I fly like the light through the void
through emptiness
All , all you can see
Is my work , there's nothing less
I am everywhere and nowhere
I am , I was , I'll be there
I am within and without you

But you close your eyes , you stop your ears
You put your head into the sand
You still hold on to your flesh
You are looking pass the truth
There's no revealing me I can't be unfurled
I am somewhere in your mind
I'm the child with many names
I am many still but one
I'm beyond but yet inside your

World - that is like it is
Otherwise it wouldn't be at all
Come - come take my hand
Where I call you'll have to go
Collecting information you're part of the sensation
You will join my flight through
Universe

But you close your eyes , you stop your ears
You put your head into the sand
You still hold on to your flesh
You are looking pass the truth
There's no revealing me I can't be unfurled
I am somewhere in your mind


I'm the child with many names
I am many still but one
I'm beyond but yet
inside
Your World . . . .
