Blonde Ice
02:52
|

|
Have you ever known
A dreamboat girl
That got you sinking low
So low
‘Cause golden angels glow
But don’t you know
The core of gold is cold
Real cold, and so am I
Who am I? Who am I?
Blonde Ice(x4)
On Love Street do go slow
Be careful not to fall
For right below
Thin snow, that’s where I lie
Who am I? Who am I?
Blonde Ice(x4)
Maybe I’m to blame
For not feeling in the least ashamed
Of wearing that wicked nickname
‘Cause I used to be sun
‘Til love disgraced my heart
And raped my soul
So blonde sun, well turned to ice
Who am I? Who am I?
Blonde Ice(x7)
That’s who I am
Blonde Ice

13 Golden Letters
03:11
|
|||
|
Thirteen is a notorious number
Branded as being a traitor
Within its own perversity
Shines a seductive beauty
13 Golden
13 Golden Letters
Spellin’ GOLDEN
Spellin’ GOLDEN LETTERS
Gold is more than just a color
It’s a symbol of wealth and splendor
If money’s the root of all evil
Then gold is the seed of the devil
13 Golden
13 Golden Letters
Spellin’ GOLDEN
Spellin’ GOLDEN LETTERS
Twenty-six of them latin letters
That’s twice too much characters
Line them up with inspiration
Then watch the black magical reaction
13 Golden
13 Golden Letters
Spellin’ GOLDEN
Spellin’ GOLDEN LETTERS
What’s with 13 Golden Letters?
Well, there’s none and many answers
For the purpose of mysteries
Is not to tell but just to tease

Lament of the Prisoner
02:15
|
|||
|
Now and then, inside the prison walls
A man can be heard sighing when night falls
And that man
Rotting sadly
In the can
Well, that man is me
Lonely, lonely, lonely me
Weeping over memories of you dear
Lovely, lovely, lovely you
Who never did shed a single tear
Back then, you were such a pretty sight
How lucky was the man by your side
And that man
Destined to be
Your husband
Well, that man was me
Lonely, lonely, lonely me
What I’d give to hold you, oh so near
Lovely, lovely, lovely you
Whose heart never was truly sincere
For some years our marriage went as planned
I loved a woman and you loved a man…
But that man
Loved so dearly
Your sweet friend
That man wasn’t me
Lonely, lonely, lonely me
I’ll spend the rest of my life in here
Cause of lovely, not so lovely you
Double murder got me a hundred years

Hey Shadow Sister
02:32
|
|||
|
Sister, o dear sister
Life down here’s a sinister comedy
My dear shadow sister
I beg of you, come ease my misery
You were born out of my fantasy
Promising you’d keep an eye on me
So how come you’re not here by me today
Now when all my dreams are just crumbling away
Away
Sister, o dear sister
Hear me from your celestial balcony
My dear shadow sister
Won’t you please grant me your company
You and I’ve been through stormy seas
You would kiss my scars and put my heart at ease
Among all guardian angels you reigned supreme
But now I’m in need, you’re nowhere to be seen
So I scream
Sister, o dear sister
How could you show me no mercy
Hey shadow sister
No you’re no more part of my lunacy

The Glass Key
02:20
|

|
I hold the glass key
I hold the glass key
I hold the glass key
I hold the glass key
To your fragile heart
To your fragile heart
People they don’t see
Your inner mystery
Behind your misery
The sweet delicacy
Of your fragile heart
Of your fragile heart
Still there’s charm in feeling lonely
Still there’s charm in suffering cruelly
Life goes without me
Emptiness and grief
Your crystal heart could be
A love sanctuary
To my shattered heart
To my shattered heart
Still there’s charm in feeling lonely
Still there’s charm in suffering cruelly
People they don’t see
Your inner mystery
Behind your misery
The sweet delicacy
Of your fragile heart
Of your fragile heart
I hold the glass key
I hold the glass key
Down in my psyche
I hold the glass key
To your fragile heart
To your fragile heart

A Sordid Little Story
02:46
|
|||
|
All along, I’ve been watching from the wings
All along, I hid and saw your doings
All along, I did witness everything
All along
And we both know it wouldn’t be right
To bring a certain matter to light
A sordid little story
About which you may be worried
A sordid little story
That’s only known to you, God and me
All alone, your conscience’s bothering you
All alone, you’ve got no one to turn to
All alone, ‘til I come out of the blue
All alone
‘Cause we sure don’t want to spread
A secret that’s meant to stay dead
A sordid little story
Starring you in loss of glory
A sordid little story
Now listen carefully
Do you read between the lines here
I think I’ve made myself quite clear
From now on, you won’t be alone
We’re partners now…
On and on, we’ll be just like Jack and Jill
On and on, you guess who’ll roll down the hill
On and on, if he doesn’t pay the bill
On and on and on
Yes, everything has its price
And you’ve got yourself a costly vice
A sordid little story
It’s too late for you to feel sorry
Here’s the end of the story
When you submit to me (x2)

Lovers' Vows
03:01
|
|||
|
My lover
She whispered to me:
"Never
Leave me dear
‘Cause if you should
Well, here’s exactly what I’d do
I’d stalk ya
Capture ya
Torture ya
To get ya
Right back just where you belong
Our love is meant to be lifelong"
Softly
I confessed to her:
"Baby
You’re my love
And you’re my sweet
So if you’d be deserting me
I’d stalk ya
Capture ya
Torture ya
To get ya
To swear that you’ll always be mine
And this ‘til the end of time"
I’d stalk ya
Capture ya
Torture ya
To get ya
Swear that you’ll always be mine
And this ‘til the end of time
Strange how
Ruthless is time
Lovers’ vows
Of a passion
Once so great
Now slowly disintegrate

Anna / Annie
01:53
|
|||
|
Anna, I love her better than
Annie, who loves me more than
Anna, who doesn’t quite unlike
Annie, who does adore me in vain
And we go round and round
Lost in love’s funhouse maze
From Annie to Anna
Distorting mirrors always
Lead to dead ends
Anna, I love her better than
Annie, who loves me more than
Anna, who doesn’t quite unlike
Annie, who does adore me in vain
And meanwhile time
Keeps ticking away the years
Of Annie and Anna
I’m taking leave my heart in tears
Back to sadland
Anna, I loved her better than
Annie, who loved me more than
Anna, who didn’t quite unlike
Annie, who did adore me but
Anna, I’ll never forget her and
Annie, I’ll see them both in dreams where
Anna, will be the same person as Annie
Will I ever find Ann?
