01- Border Girl

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)

 

Found a hole into the wall I could sneak up on your shadow

And the hot wind coming from your side would turn me on

Blinded by the sun when the cops from the patrol

Said « you’re staying outside, you’re coming inside ? »

 

Tried to make another peace sign and get away with it

Girl from the Laredo heat just get me out of it

Take me on the other side, help me out to cross the line

It’s freezing outside, It’s freezing outside !

 

I, I, I, I am coming over would you set me free

Cold’s my blood there’s no way I can breathe

But I know I will finally get to see your face

Go, go, go ! And now you guide my steps

Feels like I’ve been forever tied to a stick

Like a dead tree where some kind of mind is stuck

Would you open up for me now Border Girl ?

 

High command filled the hole, my one and only window

And they would leave me forever blind you’re out out of sight

But I’ll be getting over now. I’ll be crawling underground

I’m coming inside, I’m coming inside !

 

Well that is a hell of a hike, there’s no way I can stop

She may be an inch out of town, It’s such an endless walk

Take me all the way upside and help me out to feel my heart

It’s freezing outside, I’m dying inside ! Ahhh…

 

I, I, I, I am coming over would you set me free

Cold’s my blood there’s no way I can breathe

But I know I will finally get to see your face

Go, go, go ! And now you guide my steps

Feels like I’ve been forever tied to a stick

Like a dead tree where some kind of mind is stuck

Would you open up for me now Border Girl ?




02- We All Need A Nurse

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)

 

They said it would hurt and they said you would fight

And none would be around with a helping hand

They said it won’t last till the morning light

It turned your heart to stone and you still wonder why ?

 

But take another chance and if it turns you down

Remember there is light in every blackend mind

And if you never make it all the way upside

(Rain down...Rain down)

Accept the failing heart and lay down a while

 

Cause we all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

We all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

 

They said it would rain and they said there’ll be pain

And none will never ever lay its eyes on you

Halfway through the light you kind of make it right

But one bite of a blast never feels enough

 

Take another chance and if it turns you down

Remember there is light in every blackend mind

You’ll never never never never be in peace

(Save me...Save me)

Unless you are your friend and yours the helping hand

 

But we all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

We all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

We all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

 

Save me… Save me

Save me… Save me

 

We all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

We all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

We all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

We all need a nurse

We all need a nurse, someday

 


03- Roller Coaster

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)

 

Let’s goof around crazy clowns, life is a joke

And everyday’s a different show

Are we running out of time ?

Are we’re running out of wine ?

Just cease the day and join the flow

 

Dive deep in the fray cause tomorrow you never know

You might not see another show

Every now and then you’re crawlin’

Every now and then you’re flyin’

And you want none of the folks to know... No, No, Noooo !

 

It’s way too hard, it’s a roller coaster

What they’re doing with our heads

And those blinking lights coming out of nowhere

Are we gonna loose it all ?

It’s a freaking lie, there’s no horizon

We’ll never know the reason why

So we’re fading out in the cold rain

With the bleeding of our hearts to know... Ahh, ahh, ahh

 

I am your little clown, would you please come inside ?

I’ll make sure you’ll never cry

You’ll never get an ounce, an ounce of trouble

Trouble come from outside

 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I swear I don’t want a hook up

But sure I wanna see the stars

I wanna cool off, I wanna come clean, I wanna tell you who I am

I don’t wanna be another one of those

Freakin, freakin, freakin lies ! No, No, Noooo !

 

It’s way too hard, it’s a roller coaster

What they’re doing with our heads

And those blinking lights coming out of nowhere

Are we gonna loose it all ?

It’s a freaking lie, there’s no horizon

We’ll never know the reason why

So we’re fading out in the cold rain

With the bleeding of our hearts to know... Ahh, Ahh, Ahh

Ahh, Ahh


What is said and done is gone forever

There’s nothing to cry about, Oh no

I wonder why we had to choose between this and that

None is good for us, Oh no

 

It’s way too hard, it’s a roller coaster

What they’re doing with our heads

And those blinking lights coming out of nowhere

Are we gonna loose it all ?

It’s a freaking lie, there’s no horizon

We’ll never know the reason why

So we’re fading out in the cold rain

With the bleeding of our hearts to know... Oh no, Oh no, Oh no 

 


04- I’m On My Way

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)

 

They violently threw a bone on my plate

And said “dude you be a man”

I was desperately trying to decide

Which face of mine would really pretend


And I knocked my head on the wall with rage

Deadly visions sucked my brain

I couldn’t feel what feeling was,

I was numb like an empty shell

 

“Leftovers on the side of the road,

This is all you get when you’re not a wolf”

They’re saying , I’m trying

Freaked out by my own shadow at first

I finally got a clue how not to burst

I’m hiding, I’m hiding

 

I’m on on my way, I’m on my way

Down my way I’ve seen me grounded

Down my way the crowd’s offended

Down my way I see me blind

 

Dreamed about the man, scraping the sky

But they wiped it off my head with some kind of pill

And this flickering light was just a dime

A crown on a landfill

 

Should we really tell the kids It’s just a scam ?

How many baby ducks were drowned in the pound

Where the hell is the sun ? No that’s the moon

Oh it’s just a lamppost

 

I’m on on my way, I’m on my way

Down my way I’ve seen me grounded

Down my way the crowd’s offended

Down my way I see me blind

 

Hint of trust In this pile of lies ?

You’re the one whose face says now we’re fine

You’re blooming, I’m craving

Find the good path? Neither can I

Shall we keep on sipping whisky and wine ?

I’m trying, I’m trying

 

I’m on on my way, I’m on my way

Down my way I’ve seen me grounded

Down my way the crowd’s offended

Down my way I see me blind

 

 

05- Jailbreak

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)

 

Taken up here and held as a prisoner

Biding on time holding on… whatever

You’re sticking to the rules

But don’t know what they mean

 

Take this last chance to break the walls

And turn your back from this

Hunted dull place where your brain will evaporate

Head down deep inside you know

You got nothing to do with that fictional crime

 

And if you are drowning inside

Remember how the outside feels like

The foaming of the waves

The beauty of a filtered moonlight

 

Remember how the dawn mist’s glowing

Remember how the sun was shining

Warming up your bones

And every morning’s like a new life

 

- « Tell me do you see it , Is it that real man ? »

-« I can only see half of it,

-« The other part of it was in your dream »

-« Is it why I’m just half of me ? »

 

-« No you are not a lost soul, half completed mind

Now just pinch yourself, you’ll see that you’re alive

You’re just locked up in that prison of you own

You will get out, you will shine on »

 

And if you are drowning inside

Remember how the outside feels like

The foaming of the waves

The beauty of a filtered moonlight

 

Remember how the dawn mist’s glowing

Remember how the sun was shining

Warming up your bones

And every morning’s like a new life

 

You see we have changing seasons

Amazing full horizons

Forever water falls

I swear the tide is turning

 

Is it guilt that made you lock yourself away ?

Feels like you’ve been out of here for a thousand years

They’re just trying to stuff their angst

And their fears in you

 

I’m sick of you all and your fuck’n carnival

Every time you show up it is just to make you sure that I fall

Keep your demons and your goddam freaks inside

I’m already gone ! I’m already gone !

 

And if you are drowning inside

Remember how the outside feels like

The foaming of the waves

The beauty of a filtered moonlight

 

Remember how the dawn mist’s glowing

Remember how the sun was shining

Warming up your bones

And every morning’s like a new life

 

You see we have changing seasons

Amazing full horizons

Forever water falls

I swear the tide is turning


That mist is like a doorway

Hiding shapes and harsh rays

Keeping us alive and

Wanting us to figure out why

 


06- Acquainted with the Night

(Lyrics by Robert Frost / Music by Mitch Bassoul)


I’ve been one acquainted with the night

I’ve walked out in rain and back in the rain

I’ve outwalked the furthest city light

And I’ve looked down the saddest city lane

 

I have passed by the watchman on his beat

And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain

I’ve stood still and stopped the sound of feet

When far away an interrupted cry

Came over houses from another street

 

I've been one acquainted with the night

Oh the night where I belong

I've been one acquainted with the night

With the night

 

I’ve been one acquainted with the night

I’ve walked out in rain and back in the rain

I’ve outwalked the furthest city light

And I’ve looked down the saddest city lane

 

But not to call me back or say good-bye

And further still at an unearthly height

One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong

Wrong nor right. 

 

I've been one acquainted with the night

Oh the night where I belong

I've been one acquainted with the night

With the night

 

07- Can’t Feel

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)


I can’t feel no arms around me

Nope can’t feel that morning glory

But I know deep inside you’re on your way

No can’t feel no fever growing

Sweaty hands nor dry mouth I feel

Shut down by this quiet resignation

 

No can’t hear no moaning sirens

It’s way too quiet, just feels like it’s fake

But I know deep inside that you are real

And I can’t fall down there is no ground

Can’t troll around cause I’m upside down

Somewhere in my mind I feel you coming

 

Now you’re coming home

It’s been a long time, long time, long time

And I’m loosing control, I’m out of line

Way out of line

 

So I’ll do my tap dance in my lonesome paradise

Clapping my hands till I get to catch some flies

And I’m tired of falling down that hole

Please do me baby, I wanna feel alive

Make me scream cause I wanna break the ice

And I’m hungry, baby, burning, you turned me on !

 

I can’t feel no pain inside me

Nope can’t feel no anger growing

Winter has numbed my bones and my brain... Dammit

And I can’t feel no sorrow coming

No can’t feel that mojo rising

I wonder what I’d say if you came today

 

I can’t hear no chanting violin

No can’t see no clear horizon

All my dreams are now fading away

No I’m not gone but a part of me

Is hiking searching for something real

And I know deep inside you are the one

 

Now you’re coming home

It’s been a long time, long time, long time

I’m loosing control, I’m out of line

I’m down and out

 

So I will sing and dance to the tunes I Iove the most

Keep myself away from the junkies and the ghosts

And I’m tired of crawling down that road

Please let it go baby, we wanna live it wild

Maybe someday I will take you by surprise

Cause I’m horny for you only you turned me on !

 

 

08- No Killer

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)


Paa pa pa pa paaa…  Paa paa pa pa pa


Spin the wheel flip a coin roll the dice and you’ll know it

There’s no right there’s no wrong, can’t be safe at heart

Take a flier in the game there’s no rule there’s no sinking

Silhouettes in the rain live it all on the crazy lines of time

 

Endless lines in your palm but you feel like you’re aging

Heavy morning sky in your waking eye

Thrill is now, you’re alive can’t you see how you’re craving

For a storm in your heart and chills all down your spine

 

No you ain’t no killer, no you ain’t no wimp

Even though she’s desperately moaning by your side

Games of heart can either take you down or drown you

Make you feel like you will never fall apart

This is your not your call

 

Ride the wind catch a falling bird In the moonlight

Roll up your eyes to the ceiling sky

Take those shades off linger on you reckless gambler

Unbutton your lips and kiss her wild and free

 

No you ain’t no killer, no you ain’t no wimp

Even though he’s desperately moaning by your side

Games of heart can either take you down or drown you

Make you feel like you will never fall apart

Would you like to know ?

 

Paa pa pa pa paaa… Paa paa pa pa pa

Paa pa pa pa paaa Paa paaa

 

No you ain’t no killer no you ain’t no wimp

Even though she’s heavily bleeding by your side

Games of heart can either take you down or drown you

Make you feel like you will never fall apart


No you ain’t no killer no you ain’t no wimp

No you ain’t no killer no you ain’t no wimp

This is not your call

 


09- Hit Me 

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)


Ahh ! Ahh ! Ahh ! Ahh !


Kicking up the wind while I’m rising up the air

I feel so high

Closer to the edge had a long awaited glance

At the moonlight

Staring at the low tide and still hoping tomorrow

We’ll get the sun brrrright

But far off I can see the shape of a man

Yes, he wants to see me my fall down

 

What you wanna do, you wanna hit me ?

Till the end of life you’re gonna hunt me ?

Stab me in the back, you wanna see me

Crawling down the aisle, vanishing and left to die ?

 

Ahh ! Ahh ! Ahh ! Ahh ! 


High up on a ladder I finally found a way

To let the gloom down

And far up ahead saw my interstellar queen

She had the right smile

And I’m shakin’ shakin’ oh it’s tickling

Tickles when she does right

But here he comes again to bring me down

The angry man with the bowtie

 

What you gonna do you wanna hit me ?

Kick me in the nuts you wanna geld me ?

Into little pieces, wanna cut me ?

Flush me down the drain ? It’s getting very near the end !

 

I see clear in your mean old little game

I don’t fear your deadly looking face

I see planes all around to bomb us

I see clear !

 

What you wanna do, you wanna hit me ?

Till the end of life you’re gonna hunt me ?

Stab me in the back, you wanna see me

Crawling down the aisle, vanishing and left to...

 

What you gonna do you wanna hit me ?

Kick me in the nuts you wanna geld me ?

Into little pieces, wanna cut me ?

Flush me down the drain ?

Peaces of my brain, splashing all the way

What else can I say ? It’s getting very near the end !

Ahh ! Ahh ! Ahh ! Ahh ! 

 


10- We Are Nothing

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)


Isn’t strange we keep looking for a change ?

When there’s none to come, I’m sorry

Isn’t strange we’re all insane ?

Isn’t sad I’m cracking a smile ?

Cause in that dream I saw you near me

Isn’t sad it’s just a dream ?

 

But I ain’t gone love, I’m just aching

And every morning’s feels like dying

Cause in the end we are nothing at all

Aging, leaving

 

What a shame to know that every day

Lead us straight down to our coffin

And we’re just waiting up in vain

We all agree the winds are turning

Depending on which side you’re facing

You win the fight or slip away

 

But I ain’t done love, I am bleeding

And every morning feels like dying

Cause in the end we are nothing, you know

Aging, fading

 

 

11- Burry it All

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)


You took me on board to your hills and your mountains

Burning up fuse with your sure glowing flame

Riding ahead in the mist of unspoken

Magic, be ours in the mid of a rainy day

 

But the dream was too short and then started the blame parade

We were lost in a maze, struggling with those bitter days

 

Million years of fantasies, wasted times and reveries

And I ain’t sure when you got me

I wish I could die, I wish I could

I wish I could just burry it all

 

Stuck in a gloomy room on a cold and rainy night

We locked up our feelings in the bricks of our brains

Trying to ignore, I numbed my lips with a Talisker

Swallowed the pill, I was a ghost and I tried to escape

 

But I heard your voice in a echo and it stopped my journey

Blinded by light, all I heard is you callin’ my name

 

Million years of fantasies, wasted times and reveries

And I ain’t sure when you got me

What’s the story ? Tell me what the story is

Cause I can only walk away, empty spaces call my name

I wish I could die, I wish I could

I wish I could just burry it all !

 

I’m tired of all those dreams in which we’re bleeding

Don't set the light on us, you'll see us chocking 

 

What’s the story ? Tell me what the story is

Cause I can only walk away, empty spaces call my name

I wish I could die, I wish I could

I wish I could just burry it all 


Million years of fantasies, wasted times and reveries

And I ain’t sure when you got me

What’s the story ? Tell me what the story is

Cause I can only walk away, empty spaces call my name

I wish I could die, I wish I could

I wish I could just burry it all !

 

What’s the story ? Tell me what the story is

Cause I can only walk away...


12- All Gone Today

(Lyrics and music by Mitch Bassoul)

 

Looking ahead to find how much time

Is left before the sea will freeze

I’m just a witness of time flying fast as speed of light

 

You’re the one who made my heart beat

Yes you’re the one upsetting time

Tell me, how long before we fall ? We’re way too high

 

Time has stopped I am going elsewhere

Wind blow please just take me there

There might not be love to be found

But I’ll be there for once

 

I wanna go away 'fore heart stops to grow

And all my fears on the way kill me today

I wanna leave you all 'fore mind goes away

And I see love turning grey, all gone today

All gone today

 

Our past has gone and only whispers

To what is left of our remains

Please come to me, long time no see


We’re getting old, we’re drying in peace

Bleeding away part of our sins

Please sing to me, come back to me


I wanna go away 'fore heart stops to grow

And all my fears on the way kill me today

I wanna leave you all 'fore mind goes away

And I see love turning grey, all gone today

All gone today

 

I see all that sky… Oh so bright

All that sky... Oh so bright... Oh so bright

 

I wanna go away 'fore heart stops to grow

And all my fears on the way kill me today

I wanna leave you all 'fore mind goes away

And I see love turning grey, all gone today

All gone today
