The world's a little narrow for me
I'm still looking for my place in it
I don't see clearly what tomorrow brings
And that is what might be killing me today!
Half-empty glasses on the table
Whenever I feel like it, I take a little sip
Stop me in case we should by any chance
run into each other in another life!
BLR:
There was a time when I thought nothing can stop me
But now I know when it's raining, my kind gets soaked first
I've learnt to appreciate it, for delight fades fast
In vain I'm climbing, I always end up in that same old ditch!
I've understood and I've regretted my mistakes
And I believe up there my prayers will be heard
I'm driven by the flood, in vain I'm seeing the distant bank
Under the veil of night I just keep on writing my song!
I don't know what's going to happen when I get sick of it all
But I'll make sure to leave you this before I make off
I take everyone into my heart who understood me
and believed in me, that's the only thing that keeps me alive!
I haven't given up my faith so far and I never will
Not even if I get a few sudden slaps in my face from life
As long as there's anything in my heart and even when I'll have a reason to cry
there'll always be paper, a pen and a microphone!

I remember 10 years ago I wanted something totally different
I still believed then I could cope with everyone blindfold
It took me a decade to realize
that what is going to kill me is not the others
but my egocentric system that I created exactly
to avoid the ditch, now look what God has given me
I've nothing left, all's fallen apart, ceased what I believed in!
I would have needed a fucking great slap from fate
to smack loud enough on my face
to not even let my consider the wrong path
some hand to pull me back!
But there was no one to serve as a good example
My father's left long ago and my mother, well, why should she speak out
knowing anyway that her son is just a self-destructive idiot
That I, if necessary, burn at a 100 degrees and don't give a shit about others' opinions!
And in vain do I have money in my pocket when I'm a splinter in your eye
It's you I wrote the songs for to remind you that
whenever you criticise me you hurt yourself a bit as well
because I show you a distorting mirror in which you see yourself!
No need to tell you in every single song what a big shot I am
No need to think that I ever get anything I want
For 10 years I've been trying to be the same guy
But the world has changed and so have I... That's it!

Curtis:
Quite a few problems did I have to face regrettably
The right path I left for the wrong one
There was was much pain, but now it has all burned away
Angels followed me, their prayers reached me!
I was a bad example, a splinter in many eyes
I look up to the sky a rosary in my hand
A few people told me they'll never forget me
and if I ceased to exist, they'll still love me!
And it was often that tears fell from my eyes too
What I believed to be myself, ran through my fingers
In my disappointment and pain what else could I expect
I want to stand in front of God or the devil with a pure heart!
I never was a big shot, allowed to do almost everything
Or a rich family's stain, who can just go for broke
because there's nothing that really matters
From my childhood on it was only the sin that seduced me!
(No one will stop me!)
