no one knows who you are
tell me how deep is the scar
are you ahead in the game?
are you a proper man?
no one stays in the fight
till we know what is right
are you lost in the dark
are you a fish or shark?
they never, never told you what to do
never, never, made it through to you
never, never made you feel good neither were you understood
they never showed you how to build a tribe
never showed you how to pick a fight
never showed you how to see the light
how to keep fighting for what’s right
Frank J. Miles
you can hear people scream
against the stream for the team
let’s find out who we are
are we proper men?
be a burning laser
carry on, hellraiser
winners got to be stark
can’t get lost in the dark
they never, never told you what to do
never, never, made it through to you
never, never made you feel good neither were you understood
they never showed you how to build a tribe
never showed you how to pick a fight
never showed you how to see the light
how to keep fighting for what’s right

Big City Cowboy

usually i ride alongside my coyote
washed my body in a pond last night
usually i live without a care
burn the devil with a single stare
usually i shit where i want
flowers bloomin’ in manure in Vermont
usually flying free like a bird
now i’m living with the urban herd
i want i want i want to
to shine shine shine
i want, i want, want
i’m gonna go to New York City tonight
drown the moon with the neon lights
sipping whiskey beside all of the sights
i’m gonna find a way, finally
i’m gonna go to New York City tonight
gonna find my love tonight
i’m gonna go to New York City tonight
i‘ll be your city street cowboy
rest my feet on your porch and indulge in joy
c’mon girl, light my cigarette
let‘s raise a toast to the suffragettes
i want i want i want to
to shine shine shine
i want, i want, want
i’m gonna to New York City tonight
keeping calm but always ready to fight
do my dance smokin’ marlboro lights
i’m gonna find a way, finally
i’m gonna go to New York City tonight
gonna find my love tonight
i’m gonna go to New York City tonight
ain’t gonna walk away,
i ain’t gonna walk away this time...

Black Dancin' Jesus

is there a treasure out in the sea? - no one knows
is Trump the only one who can't see? - no one knows
when are the last bees gonna die? - no one knows
when is Africa gonna rise above the
shores of the promised land?
i gotta move
like a black dancin' Jesus
at the age of forty-five
holdin' hands with the devil
who's the one who’ll free us?
when will the shackled finally be free? - no one knows
when are we gonna burn the last tree? - no one knows
when are the last birds gonna fly? - no one knows
when is Africa gonna rise
above the shores of the promised land?
i gotta move…
don’t talk about love if you cannot invest
who is our savior and who is the pest?
stop buying the crap that was crafted for fools
who entitle their masters by being their tools
imprisoned by visions ashamed to allow
slitting the throat of our sacred cow
afraid to acknowledge that we‘ve got to vow
salvation has always been knowing the Now.
i gotta move...

A Decent Way

is she gonna take me to the highest court
and claim that she was treated like a common whore
must i suffer more than a rejection
for a sign of affection?
is he gonna beckon me into his car
is he gonna touch me where it’s going too far
no one's gonna mess with my perfection
for just another erection
i want to find a way
to hold her
in a decent way
i want to find a way
to be held
in a decent way
hold me in a decent way
would you please tell me a better sport
than flirting with a girl on the center court
now and then my body needs affection
without too much reflection
his privileges have endured for centuries
now he’s filling up the penitentiaries
abusers and accusers seek protection
we need another correction
i want to find a way...

you have lit a fire in me, a fire in me
i thought had gone for good
now I‘m in love, yes, I‘m in love again
you have lit a fire in me, a fire in me
you make me feel so good
and i‘m in love, yeah, i‘m in love again
i‘m in fucking love again
you see where no one sees
you hear what no one hears
you know when no one knows
you silence all my fears
everyone I’ve loved
has changed or moved away
now you are in my heart
forever meant to stay
you have lit a fire in me...
you think what no one thinks
you say what no one says
there‘s a fire in me, a fire in me now
you taste how no one tastes
you show me how to sway
and i won’t bow to anyone but you
you have lit a fire in me...

were you made by a god or not?
a fallen angel, smoking pot
are you a bearer of bad news
a psychic eating up my blues?
i don’t care who is to blame
i just want to know your name
let’s dance, dance
let us enjoy this life
women and men
and what’s in between all alike
let’s dance, dance
let’s hold each other tight
feeling our heart beat
dancing into the light
were you born of rock’n’roll?
a flickering shadow upon my soul
are you a demon or a saint?
show me who you are, not who you ain’t
there’s one thing i know for sure
you’re the disease and you’re the cure
let’s dance, dance
let us enjoy this life
women and men
and what’s in between all alike
let’s dance, dance
let’s hold each other tight
feeling our heartbeat
dancing into the light

seven minutes to fix a bow tie
seven minutes to catch a black eye
seven minutes to make a man come
seven minutes
seven minutes to hold you tight
seven minutes to make it right
seven minutes to pave the way
seven minutes to make you want to stay
seven minutes x7
i never thought i would
seven minutes x7
to say goodbye for good
seven minutes to make a boy cry
seven minutes to roll your eyes and sigh
seven minutes to live before we die
seven minutes
seven minutes to spend on our own
seven minutes before we’re all alone
seven minutes to lose our way
seven minutes i won’t make you stay
seven minutes x7
i never thought i would
seven minutes x7
to say goodbye for good

my girl’s so cool cause she don‘t give a fuck
about devotion suckin' magic potions
bedroom eyes, she don’t scandalize
she realized that she’s free...
with me
makin’ love can be an easy game
no remorse, no regret, no shame
‘cause i love her, yeah, she’s my lover
and we can do it all
grab the whip baby, grab the chains
i’ll bring the pleasure and I’ll bring the pain
you’re my lover and i love ya
so we can do it all
sometimes you know, sometimes you don‘t know
sometimes, yeah, sometimes, sometimes you don‘t know
what if it‘s true, what if it ain’t true
and i won’t and she won’t and we won’t be no more?
my girl’s so cool cause she don‘t criticize
she’s got an ocean flowing between her thighs
i’ll ride those waves, wild love cannot be tamed
i hear her shouting my name…
she came
tell my girl when you feel her
i will always care for her
cause i love her, yes, i love her
and she can have it all
tell my girl when you pull her hair
that I am not afraid to share
cause i love her, yes, i love her - and we can do it all
sometimes you know...
you can be sure, you can feel secure
you can, yes, you can succumb to the lure
cause when i say - that i mean to stay
that is - yeah that is - what i meant to say

ooo, i want to sing
as loud as i can
what will future bring?
let‘s beat the odds and find out, my friend
i‘m so proud of my life
i‘m bursting with joy
man, give me a high five
show the world why you were born a boy
together, however, my brother, we gotta take cover
whenever a brother needs another brother to make him get it right:
never, never, never, no, no, never, never, never, no, no
never give up reaching for the light
let’s celebrate this life
let’s levitate high
fly high in the sky
my friend, let’s worship and greet this life
why would i regret
what i can‘t affect?
brother, let’s masc up and liberate
dude, don’t let that thing
that very pretty sexy special thing
become another thing
to bring down your inner king
she ain’t gonna drag you down
if you stand firm and keep your faith, my friend
if she don‘t like her wedding gown
be washed away those letters in the sand
together, however, my brother from another mother,
we’ll help each other when it’s time to put an end to this fight
never, never, never, no, no, never, never, never, no, no
never give up reaching for the light
let’s celebrate this life
let’s levitate high
fly high in the sky
my friend, let’s fearlessly greet this life
why would i regret
what i must accept?
brother, let’s masc up and liberate
let’s celebrate this life
let’s levitate high
fly high in the sky
my friend let’s worship and greet this life
why would i regret
what i can’t affect?
brother, let’s masc up and liberate

Love

i know that i‘d be alone without you
cause there‘s no one who does it like you do
the trailer we bought from the sailor
brand new twenty years ago
now it’s a rusty old fart
but i won’t let it fucking fall apart
cause i love like my mom loved me
at the age of three
love like a sailor in the wind
loves the sun warming up his skin
dead sure that i would be lost without you
cause there‘s no one who knows me like you do
the fire that comes with desire
a burning pyre lit twenty years ago
now the flames are hotter ‘cuz the end is nigh
i might die in your arms and you in mine
i love like my mom loved me
at the age of three
love like a loyal dog
loves you after a walk
cause i love
like my mom loved me at the age of three
love like a sailor in the wind
loves the sun warming up his skin

Slow Down
03:36

love will always grow a little bit stronger than hatred, my dear
love will always last a little bit longer than your primal fears
those shackles on your feet, those shackles that emburden the lives of your sons
everybody knows that love is the power to open them at once
slow down, slow down
slow down, win the upperhand
slow down, slow down,
slow down, it‘s enough, my friend
love will always ring a little bit louder than sadness, my dear
love will always weigh a little bit lighter than your heaviest tears
everybody knows that love is so much wiser
than the words of all men
crush those shackles on your legs, you once beat the Kaiser, now beat him again
slow down...
