about

Recorded live to tape in Berlin on a Spring afternoon in 2013...
no overdubs and no thinking, just with great company, a six pack of beer, a good room and equipment. Million thanks to Federico Albanese for making it possible.

lyrics

did yer broken fingers make a stronger hand
did yer blood bath wars make a more peaceful land
did yer angels and demons make points
when they bet on the race of us human beings
did ghosts drive me off times train track bridge
just to break me out of the prison of my own head
did garden spiders spin their webs with the same count of days
as it's said in heaven did the endless universe want to live
right where my life stands did nature want to grow anywhere it can
did the black hole surrounding my soul
wind me up and make me go go go
did my life on a limb let the blossoms begin to twist into fruit
that will fall to the ground...
or did I make all this up because I am just a man
talking to himself all over and over again..
did I make believe when I was just dead that I was really living instead
I hope not cuz I just wanna dance like no one is looking
I just wanna romance with she who loves good cooking
I just wanna watch us overact, like a silent movie
a head movie...
I thought this was our life we're going barefoot where we want
we don't owe anyone anything not below or above
cuz I got free from all I see and I know the greatest mystery in history
is just a real person, a real person, a real person, a real person
