Age of the Ape

Swimming in the sea
So happy to see
66 dolphins circling
Video recording
Little hope
Memory is out of scope
Lighten up
Get dressed
Lighten up
Messed and all obsessed
No pain – no gain
Let’s hope we find your brain
Low IQ
Jump the queue
Banana knowledge
Way below average
Potty mouth
Face to face
Potty mouth
No such thing as human race
Barking up the wrong tree
I guarantee
Keep a low profile
You’re living in exile
Let the dolphins go
Your time passed long ago

Nunchaku Gang
03:21
|
|||
As you think so you shall become
Simplicity is the key to brilliance
Take no thought of who is right or wrong
The successful warrior is the average man
It’s the Nunchaku Gang from outta town
Super focused and extreamly mean
It’s the Nunchaku Gang with leather jackets
Sunglasses and cigarettes
Every stupid dog has his stupid day
Before you dance kneel down and pray
For abandonded gods and human flesh
Naked knights and pretty cash
Turtle blood and snake poison
Holiday wheather and hunting season
No such thing as human touch
The gangsters they don’t speak that much
Remember no man is really defeated
Unless he is discouraged
People like you are lucky bastards
You will never get engaged

Garlic Dreams
01:49
|

It’s all about you
The night has fallen
It’s all about you
Your dick is swollen
It harbors a certain danger
It carries a certain risk
It harbors a certain danger
You will be frisked
Get some rest
Your brain blinks
Get some rest
Your breath stinks
You’re waking up at night
Your throat is dry as dust
You think you’re alt right
But this is just cheap and fast
You’re waking up at night
That’s fucking right!
Feel the the heat, pale with fright
Your money gone and your dick is light

Sunshine Boulevard
03:37
|
|||
It was a perfect day
We were six miles away
From what we called
The sunshine boulevard
The way was paved
With two billion bottles of wine
The red seed in our eyes
The yellow blood in our veins
It all merged to one
Dark matter nugget
Them demon voices
Light flooded
The infernal frame
The whole golden shining hell
Told us we were right
It was a perfect day
It was a perfect day – it was a perfect day
Until tomorrow we stay – tomorrow we stay
It was a perfect day – it was a perfect day
Sorry for the delay
Practice what you preach
Never mind the gap between you
And the sunshine boulevard
Because we are already dead
Six miles ahead a skeleton in a golden suit
Plays the trumpet
The sweetest melody on earth
Which is paved with golden turf
Our lousy hearts became noble chestnuts
It was a perfect day – it was a perfect day
Until tomorrow we stay – tomorrow we stay
It was a perfect day – it was a perfect day
Sorry for the delay – we are always late
We will rot in hell – we will enjoy
Sunshine Boulevard – it’s a perfect place
Until tomorrow we stay – tomorrow we stay
It was a perfect day

Close Encounters
03:10
|
|||
Outside of Fargo – ‘61
Hills and mountains – Betty alone
Trees around her – nobody else
She had a feeling – she felt observed
Flash and thunder – a fuzzy shadow
Solid material – beady and shiny
Suddenly clearer – getting nearer
A flying object – extraterrestrial
One more person missing – taken by a spaceship
It’ll happen once again – no one knows not where not when
It could be your neighbor next – or your wife and child
Close encounters of this kind – you better run and hide
Great Falls, Montana – hikers at night
Nocturnal shadows – twilight in sight
All of a sudden – the sky changing
Gliding and spinning – an object above
A beam of light – blinds their eyes
Jimmy and Jerry – out of sight

Mintgaton
02:50

Sch‘jeu vesel tut quei che nus havein
Televisiun ed autos, decadents il venter plein
E quei tut en abundonza
Nus schluppein avon pitgira da tschels
Ils egls serrai
Gie fom ed il mal nus insumma buc muenta
Nies concarstgaun nus sgarscheivel sdermenta
Mintgaton patratg’jeu vid quella via
sin la quella nus oz viandein
E sch'ei seigi endretg, gie endretg aschia,
Sco nus sin quest mund sedepurtein
Bumbas atomicas, armas aschi bia
Tertgau vess’jeu ch‘il mund entscheiva grad a schluppar
Quei drovi gie tut per la pasch conservar
Perquei far il militar senza patertgar
Jeu vesel buc en daco ch'il luvrer
Duess avon il professer aschi bia respect haver
E daco che nus tolerein, senza pli bia,
quei ch'ins sa oz en biaras tiaras far

Leather Gloves
02:43
|
|||
I feel desire – and I feel great lust
Not just a feeling – it’s a matter of trust
Slippery surface – good grip at once
Solid material – ready to dance
Boys and girls all use bondage gear – leather gloves, leather gloves
I touch you here, I touch you there – top to bottom, top to bottom
My hands so smooth, I love my second skin – leather gloves, leather gloves
Submissive voices from the basement – top to bottom
Cogito ergo sum – but that’s not true
It’s an open secret – ask your crew
The only existance – is beyond your skin
Come on come on – slip inside and sin

Perversa glieud
Vus essas perversa glieud
Ei dat da quels che tschontschan tup e fan mo sgnoccas
Quels che tugnan e che tuornan culla brocca
Glieud ch‘ei sin balucca e che dat mo la bucca
Che fa giugs cun si perucca
Ei dat glieud che catscha det e semna plontas
Glieud che fa tuppira e che beiba sch’ina honta
Ch’ei buc tschien mobein mo cnapp tschunconta
Che fa pass liung cun si perucca

She's my Witch
02:43
|
|||
Got hair as black as night
Got a skirt that’s ooh so tight
I’m tellin’ you I’ve got an itch
She’s my witch
Loveable, she’s good and bad
Mess around and you been had
Got a key and the master switch
She’s my witch
Likes to rock to a crazy song
Every night she’s wailin’ on
She’s a chick with a wicked twitch
She’s my witch
Likes to drag in a going mill
Plays a chicken, just for the thrill
Till you wind up in a ditch
Mmh, she’s my witch
