Lost in Fiction album - Lyrics
1.
Drive (me into the core)
Drive me into the core
Re-open the door
Don’t know where I’m heading
Just know what I’m dreading
Drive me into the core
Re-open the door
Just need to get going
Unconsciously flowing
Long disputed territories
Waiting to be seen
Fired up with gasoline
Mingled up in some kind of a ward rope scene
Long awaited subtle moves
Looming for a second chance
Call it a bohemian scrap of a tip toe dance
It’s a long held rumour of riot romance
Drive me into the core...
Criss-crossing the land
Now get your head out of the sand
Criss-crossing the land
Criss-crossing your mind
Now I wonder what you’ll find
Criss-crossing your mind
Sweet ancient dreams re-arise
Lost behind a wink of your eyes
Breathe in and take off for the skies
Drive, get into the car
Just bring your guitar
Don’t know where we’re heading
Just know what I’m dreading
Drive, right into the core
Re-open the door
Just need to get going
Unconsciously flowing
2.
Dumbass
The pouring rain
Against your face
A prince of pain
Has lost his pace
You aim too high
You aim too low
And you’ll never fly
Somehow you know
And the words flashing in your head
Are sprayed on the wall
Realize it dumbass
Winner takes it all
Any chance you ever had is dead
Everyone and all
Realize it dumbass
You missed the final call
You shuffle on
Down the road
No regal son
Hey, you’re just a toad
You take it in
Every word
To lose or win
Bend in the dirt
And the words flashing in your head
Are sprayed on the wall
Realize it dumbass
Winner takes it all
Any chance you ever had is dead
Everyone and all
Realize it dumbass
You missed the final call (it’s in your head)
Realize it dumbass
You missed the final call (it’s what you get)
Realize it dumbass
You missed the final call

Lost in Fiction
Lost in Fiction
The world is in a mess
We’ve lost connection
With the inner GPS
Shiny screens and gadgets
You steal my children, my wife
You steal my hearts of gold
The beauty in my life
Lost in fiction
The lying’s getting bolder (hearts are getting colder)
We’ve lost connection
The weight is on your shoulder
Baiting for addiction
You steal my presence, my time
You wreck my heart and soul
My precious peace of mind
Phony birds and faces
Spread division everywhere
Thought we’d all come together
Thought we’d give and share
Lost in Fiction (It’s a world)
The world is in a mess (a world lost in fiction)
We’ve lost connection (’cause we’ve all)
With the inner GPS (all lost connection)

Good Times (don’t drag me down)
Burning in the sand
So long ago
Felt you in my hand
I felt that glow
It shines like starlight
As I’m trying to get through another dark night
They say the past is
Nothing but a dream, but it all seems
Irresistible
Good times
Don’t drag me down, don’t drag me down
Good times
Don’t drag me down, don’t drag me down
’Cause I know you’re lying
When you send me flying
Don’t drag me down
I wonder what you are
Your face today
A wish upon a star
Just a touch away?
It shines like starlight
As I’m trying to get through another dark night
They say the past is
Nothing but a dream, but it all seems
Irresistible
Good times
Don’t drag me down, don’t drag me down
Good times
Don’t drag me down, don’t drag me down
’Cause I know you’re lying
When you send me flying
Don’t drag me down

Starlight Dancer
Starlight Dancer
Your movements so full of grace
Starlight Dancer
I long for your starlit face
You come
To me at night
Oh, Mistress
Your movements are pure delight
Starlight Dancer
Movements so full of grace
Starlight Dancer
I long for your sweet embrace
When you touch
You set it all free
Oh, Goddess
You’re everything to me
Starlight Dancer
Your movements so full of grace
Starlight Dancer
I long for your starlit face
The waves of time
Have washed upon my shore
I’ve aged I’ve changed
I’m not what I was before
But still you come
Offering your kiss
As you’re standing right before me
I immerse myself
In the magic of your bliss
Starlight Dancer
Movements so full of grace
Starlight Dancer
I long for your sweet embrace
I know
Your melody
Oh, Venus
You taught every note to me
Starlight Dancer
Your movements so full of grace
Starlight Dancer
I long for your starlit face
Starlight Dancer!
Starlight Dancer!
Starlight Dancer!
Starlight Dancer!

Haunted House
That house was haunted
We only knew too well
In a state of possession
Under a spell
Sadness
Hiding in the curtains
Dreams all
Piled under the beds
Anger lurking in the tapestries
Poisoning our heads
The night would whisper
Into that fragile heart
That a true liberation
Would tear apart
Sadness
Hiding in the curtains
Dreams all
Piled under the beds
Anger lurking in the tapestries
Poisoning our heads
7.
The Ambulance
In our little village
The sound of an ambulance
Was such a very rare thing
And would appear like an avalanche
That morning we all heard it
The siren of the ambulance
My mother seemed so worried
With our lunch packs in her hands
When I reached the schoolyard
The ambulance had left
We gathered all together
Feeling so bereft
Everything kept growing in the garden
Everyone looked the other way
Covering up the house without a pardon
Windows getting darker every day
They told me all about it
They said they’d seen it all
The bicycle all broken
Standing by the wall
Sometimes I still hear them
The echoes of the ambulance
As coming out of nowhere
So much out of hands
Everything kept growing in the garden
Everyone looked the other way
Covering up the house without a pardon
Windows getting darker every day
8.
Rice and Beans
I was dreaming about the Wuthering Heights
Hiding in the tropical nights
Tryin’ to escape a shadow of pain
Trading in a ticket for the Ghost Train
You were bleeding for the sake of your art
Sculptured in the core of your heart
Carrying a vision of Yoko & John
Dreading for the coming of a day one
Rice and beans
Fish from the sea
Days of pristine simplicity
Palm trees and parrots
The waves and the sun
A shelter for us
On the run
So we played the parts of Adam and Eve
One page before that they had to leave
Nursing wounds that would not heal
Drinking in each moment that we could steal
Rice and beans
Fish from the sea
Days of pristine simplicity
Palm trees and parrots
The waves and the sun
A shelter for us
On the run
9.
Time (thought that I would always stay young)
I felt the time
Slipping through my fingers
With a shiver
With a sigh
I looked away
Just for a moment
And time had passed
Me by
I turned around
And glimpsed my own reflection
I was struck by
A sudden grief
I saw the lines
The face of an old man
But I could not
Conceive
Thought that I would always stay young
That it would
Feel like forever
Thought that I would always stay strong
Like that old song
Just like that old song
I got it all wrong
Gone were the voices
The sounds, the laughter
Gone were the moments
That we shared
Gone were the faces
I loved so deeply
Where had they all
Disappeared?
Thought that we would always stay young
That it would
Feel like forever
Thought that we would always stay strong
Like that old song
Just like that old song
I got it all wrong
Just like that old song
Just like that old song
I got it all wrong

Black Pearl Chaser
Well, I was nothing but a young lad
When I left my home and made parents sad
I went a board a merchant sailing ship
Yes, I felt the world was at my fingertip
Bound for adventure
Blow ye winds a fresh breeze
Take me across the seven seas
The kid has got the flu, stays home in bed
Reading all day, the tale grows in his head
White sails and blue skies
Wherever winds may blow
I’m a Black Pearl chaser
If you really wanna know
I was cast upon a desert island
When the storm had taken ship and every man
There I built myself a dwelling, built a home
Almost twenty years and eight there did I roam
My own creation
Blow ye winds a fresh breeze
Take me across the seven seas
The kid has got the flu, stays home in bed
Reading all day, the tale grows in his head
White sails and blue skies
Wherever winds may blow
I’m a Black Pearl chaser
If you really wanna know
