Set On Fire

I will stay with you inside
We will make it through the night
We will set this place on fire

In the streets and underground
I will follow you around
We will set this place on fire

No one's here and no one's there
In the moment of despair
We will set this place on fire

Every now and every then
You're a woman, I'm a man
We will set this place on fire

You may knock on wood, you may suck on steel
You don't have to tell me how you feel
When you set this place on fire

To the left and to the right
Of what is left and what is right
You will see what causes fire

Ot Togo Chto Lyubila

Ot togo chto lyubila
Ot togo i iskala
Ot togo chto hotela
Ot togo i letala

Ot togo chto lyubila
Ot togo i bejala
Nepodumav prigubila
Neumelo zavyazala

Noch'yu bylo strashno
Noch'yu drojala
Dnem bylo skuchno
Dnem umirala

Ot togo chto lyubila
Ot togo i bejala
Nepodumav prigubila
Neumelo zavyazala

Never Get To Talk

I know a girl, I know her well
I like the smell, I like the spell
But we never really
Had a chance to talk

I know a man, he's like a friend
He wears the brand, he is the brand
But we never really
Had a chance to talk

I know a god, he's just a god
He likes to play, he risks a lot
But we never really
Had a chance to talk

There is a place, a weird maze
That knows the face, key to my case
But we never really
Had a chance to talk

I have a dream, sweet sweet dream
Like Rocky Road ice cream
That they all never ever
Get a chance to talk

Pereplela

Pereplyla s severa,
Hodila po kleveru,
Pereplela berega
Pereplela berega
V veera

Jdala do zimy,
Pereschitala do semi,
Perevela vremena
Perevela vremena
Nikuda

Brodila po ryadam,
Iskala nomera,
Kogda uznala, kto ona
Kogda uznala, kto ona
Soshla s uma

Prelude To You

After the rain
Under the train
Will I know you
Will I know you

Will I stay calm
Will I play dumb
In the flames
In the pores on your face

On the tip of your tounge
Through the hole in your lung
Will I know you
Will I know you

Will I come to an end
Will I come to an end
Will the world understand
Will it come to an end

Will I know you
When it comes to an end

Fragile And Numb

Fragile and numb
In a paper crown
Strech out your arms and spin

Sweet, unarmed
Take a vow
Form a smile and spin

Open your mouth
Nothing comes out
Spit out your tongue and spin

Bite off your thumbs
Evolution is down
Throw out your arms and spin

Varona Lullaby

Hodit ne nahodit
Lyajet na vesy
Tiho on uhodit
Gluho b'yut chasy

Veter po doroge
Podmetaet sny
Misli o pogode
Razvedut mosti

Lyajet na rassvete
V stepi v stepi
Slovyat na stolet'ye
Seti... seti...

Be My High

In just a bit of a while
I'll get a little high
A little soft
A little dry

Babe bah-bye
I'll get a little high
And after a while
A little higher

My oh my oh tell me why

Take your time
Take mine
Be my high
Be mine

My oh my oh tell me why

Never End

A boy without a father
A place without a name
I'm sorry I want another
Don't cry while I'm away

I'll be there when you need me
I'll come whenever you call
But now you must forgive me
I've met a pretty girl

I want you to be happy
I want you to be free
One day you will forget me
One day the wound will heal

And now if you will let me
I'll find a sunny place to live
A decade of sweetest memories
Is not worth suffering for another year

Drone

...instrumental...

Cranes

The day they saw the cranes
Fly under the rain
They left their homes
They went insane
They danced away
Thousand smiles
Thousand lies
Two lives

Hole In The Wall

Give me... give me...
Give me a reason
Reason to breath on

Show me... show me...
Show me a trace
A trace to erase off my face

Is there a hole in my wall
Is there a flaw in my soul

Crawl crawl
Under the floor under the floor
Try to explore a little more of the other side

Roll, roll
Into a ball, into a ball
Fly fly high in the sky

Is there a hole in my wall
Is there a flaw in my soul
