O cowardly king of the Canary Islands
Renowned for your virtue, reviled for your violence
Your realm stretches far away beyond the horizon
Your name is as known as a household appliance
And the cannibal kids who you make call you master
Will build you an empire but it's one that won't last
There will be blood before nightfall, death and disaster
With the sound of the slaughter masked by the laughter
Of dogs
And of men
The world is a circle and I'm spinning back around again
I'm back again
The world is a circle and I'm spinning back around
Again, I must ask you what is your intent?
Do you work for some devil or are you heavenly sent?
When the ship runs aground, when the money's all spent
We will float on this ocean together forever, amen
I said amen
The world is a circle and I'm spinning back around again
I'm back again
The world is a circle and I'm spinning back around again
I'm alone, but I'll be alright
Just as long as I can make it through the night
Just as long as I can make it through the night.
I sit in the sunroom where I'm wearily watched
As I swallow these slices, each of them larger than a yacht
For I am feasting on flesh again, I guess I just forgot
My principles, all animals left to die and rot
Sweet Columbian queen, oh what can all this mean?
It's just a stream of subconsciousness, it's not unlike a dream
And there'll be no Coca Cola since September 16th
But still I'm finding holes in my logic, my socks and my teeth
And in my soul
The world is a circle and I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
The world is a circle and I'm spinning out of control
My condition, but I'll be alright
Just as long as I can make it through the night
Just as long as I can make it through the night

The leaves on the trees are a deep, deep green
The bare branch of winter has been resigned to memory
They will fall again, of this I am sure
Before they grow back to fall once more
And children will play and the birds will sing,
The greatest miracles are in the smallest of things,
don't you think?
So lover come please, bake me a cake!
While you are here, I'll tell you my mistakes
All of my fears, all of my prayers
I wish I was handsome, I'm so scared
Of dying and of being alone,
Of falling in love just to lose someone (2..3…)
Did you know my eyes are blue just like my father's
My temper is short… so is my mother's.
My eyes are blue, just like my son's
I rely so heavily on whiskey and rum.
I am packing my bags, I will leave
I'll come back in a couple of weeks
We will settle everything.
We will settle everything.
When we get there I'll find us a bar
With my best pen I will write you this postcard
And it will read,
"Hey, this city has suffered through such terrible atrocities. The buildings stand tall, the sky burns blue, the grass glows green from this incredible view and death and war destroy lives, it's true but maybe lives, like cities, can be rebuilt too. And you still live in everything I do just like I was once alive in you."

You Are My Everything

Your hair is like sunshine
Your eyes are like mine
Your smile can melt hearts
From 200 feet
Through walls of thick concrete
Or simply after a few days apart.
You are the sun in the sky
You are stars at night
You are my everything.
Although you’ve got some bad DNA
You’ll be a heartbreaker anyway
You are my everything.
And one day you’ll go to work
Your boss will be a jerk
You’ll come home to a loving family.
A loving wife, the mother
Of your loving son or daughter,
For today I’d like you to come home to me.
You are my meaning
You are my reason
You are my everything.
And you’re getting so big, it’s crazy
The ways you act like me.
You are my everything.
When I look in your sky blue eyes
I see our future lives,
We are getting the hell out of here.
I’ll take you around the world,
I’ll tell you about girls,
First I’m going to buy you your first beer.
Your hairline will recede
That is because of me
You are my everything.
And you will need spectacles to see,
That’s just the way it’ll be.
You are my everything.
