Purple

There’s a spark that it spreads as it burns, then it turns into fire. There’s a stone no man owns that it rolls down the road as she desires. When the nights go purple I can even hear them sing, both together like - la, la, la.
There’s a leave that it floats on a stream as she’s dream by ancient sirens. There’s a feather that it flies on the wind from the wing of nest-less owls. When the nights go purple I can only hear them sing, all together like - la, la, la.
There’s a star that it shines in the sky and it always sets my mood. Every man is a child when it comes down to staring at the moon. As long as nights go purple I will always find myself all together like - la, la, la.

Love yourself (She told me to)
Love myself (She told me, she told me now)
If you don’t you won’t love someone else.
Treat her well (She told me to)
Treat her well (She told me, she told me now)
Put your pride aside and try again
(She told me, she told me now)
Learn not to forget but to forgive.
Make your way (She told me to)
Make my way (She told me, she told me now)
Give away as much as you can take
(She told me, she told me now)
Take away as much as you can make
I ran into this Gypsy Woman,
ran into this Gypsy Woman
but then she vanished in the haze.
I ran into this Gypsy Woman,
ran into this Gypsy Woman
but then she vanished in the haze.
(She told me, she told me now)
In the end I guess we’ll meet again.

I know you want nothing but truth. What truth? Not mine.
You look like a stranger to me. To you, I’m one.
But I’ll be there on Sunset Street, just in case you want to come.
I know that somehow you will find the way.
How about us making a truce? Yeah, you and me.
I see you’re disguised as a crook. Me too, but we’re not.
I’ll be there on Sunset Street, just in case you want to come.
I know that somehow you will find the way.

Shed Some Love

Everywhere I see the anger
and the living is an eye for an eye.
Every man for himself
and the loneliness is spreading so wide.
So I’m standing,
here I’m standing,
now I’m standing,
I am standing
Now I’m standing all alone
knocking on your door
just to beg you please, my lord.
just to beg you please, my lord.
Shed some love down here,
because we’re crying
Shed some love down here,
yeah we need it so bad
Shed some love down here,
because we’re dying
Shed some love down here,
yeah we need it so bad
just begging please, my lord.
"Show no mercy, give no quarter"
It’s your brother’s blood what's tainting your hands.
And the fear is paralyzing, I know.
And the loneliness keeps spreading so wide.
So I’m standing ,
here I’m standing
Now I’m standing,
I am standing
Now I’m standing all alone
knocking on your door
just to beg you please, my lord.
just to beg you please, my lord.
Shed some love down here,
because we’re crying.
Shed some love down here,
yeah we need it so bad.
Shed some love down here,
because we’re dying
Shed some love down here,
yeah we need it so bad
just begging please, my lord.

On Scorpions & Pride

Long as I remember I’ve always found myself
tangled in this poisonous tale.
I guess I have no saying in this grip on my soul
that’s growing old way upon my flesh.
And it doesn’t really matter how hard I try to escape,
it seems I'm bound to loose this game.
I’m going away, I’ll take out of my head,
I won’t be calling your name for a while.
I’m not becoming your slave,
won’t do whatever you say,
I won’t be eating from the palm of your hand.
Still, I’m dying to sleep with you
but a man’s gotta keep his pride.
As your face is always changing, I can never really tell.
You’re killing me time and time again.
I give all my loving but you give me all your shade.
You’re keeping me dark and out of shape.
And now I’ve had it. It's time for me to split.
At least I’ve got this song to sing.
I’m going away, I’ll take out of my head,
I won’t be calling your name for a while.
I’m not becoming your slave,
won’t do whatever you say,
I won’t be eating from the palm of your hand.
Still, I’m dying to sleep with you
but a man’s gotta keep his pride.
