Lyrics for "A Simple Lullaby".
01 - My Old Dad
Things can get boring In time
Flowers fade day by day
But (Okay)
(Things can get boring)
My Old Dad
We used to fly kites a lot (a lot)
Yeah (yeah)
Cookies and ice cream
On that porch (Maybe)
I made some bad decisions
(Forgive me)
On the beach,
We'd run fast
To get the kites off the ground
(When the wind picked up)
We'd just start flying
And if a string broke
(We'd laugh for hours)
For hours (For hours)
Oh oh hey (Oh oh hey)
And we'd laugh for hours
Oh oh hey (Oh oh hey)
And we'd laugh for hours
We'd pack our emotions
In different kinds of weather
(We tried to stay up)
But life wouldn't let us hover,
At some point everything falls
(down) (down)
The clouds floated
Behind them, planes circled
And what we saw was happiness (happiness)
On the way home, (home)
Asking a taxi driver ("Can you walk on clouds?")
And then there ("What's that, a kite in the wind?")
Oh oh hey (Oh oh hey)
And laugh for hours
Oh oh hey (Oh oh hey)
And laugh for hours
Oh oh hey (Oh oh hey)
02 - Casual
She wants to stay
(Oh, she wants to know about me)
She's gonna ask
(I don't care about this vision)
She just seems out of sorts
(The way you talk)
the way I talk to her, girl
(With all this gas)
I transported it, so it's this gas
She wants to stay
Ah!(Ah!)
Ah!(Ah!)
Ah!(Ah!)
Ah!(Ah!)
I don't care about this Vision
You got a ding, baby (baby)
I'm fascinated by it, it spins (Did you stop the car?)
When it doesn't want to come, that's your body, (she said.)
Well, I don't think that's your decision. (Bad decision)
She wants to stay
Ah!(Ah!)
Ah!(Ah!)
Ah!(Ah!)
Ah!(Ah!)
I don't care about this Vision
I see how far it flew after I fell asleep.
(Fantasies, melodies, and nothing more)
03 - Bye
Letting myself be carried away by the wind
(I'm leaving this torment)
Today we're a good try (That's all)
You three steps forward
Me three steps back (You think you're so bright)
I don't see you shining anymore (You don't shine anymore)
Woe is me Love (Love)
Everything passes
But what does it matter?
(Bye, Bye) (Bye, Bye)
Is love eternal?
I want to live forever
(I'm going to die setting fire to everything!)
You, three steps to the right
Me, three steps to the left (But there's still time)
Was it worth it? (Was it worth it?)
Oh my love, everything passes
But what does it matter?
Sing me a lullaby
(Love) (love) (love) (love)
(Bye, Bye) (Bye, Bye)
(Sing me a lullaby)
04 - Soul Like Water
Restless
Chained soul wanders around
(Restless, a restless soul)
Empty
Hollow heart for everything in the world
(Empty, a worldless heart)
Fly (Fly)
Fly (Fly)
Fly like a Bird
(But come back to me)
Feathered soul in flight over a barren sea
(Barren soul under the sea)
Fly (Fly)
Fly (Fly)
Fly like a Bird
(But come back to me)
I see how far he flew after I fell asleep
(Come back to me) (Come back to me)
Ohhhhhhhhh
(Come back to me) (Come back to me)
05 - Can You Walk on Clouds?
The morning light upon your face,
Gentle strength My shelter in the night.
Your arms, a fortress for my soul,
You are my hero My one and only guide
If I fall, you pick me up,
(Your smile)
And show me how to stand again.
Can you walk on the clouds?
(Take me!)
Do you know the stars?
(Show me where you are!)
Father, (Father)
I want to walk that path,
(One day I will be)
I will be like you!
The world is big, a spinning stage,
But you make it safe
With your hands, you guide my way.
I know who I am
A true reflection of your heart.
I am like you
If I fall, you pick me up,
(Your smile)
And show me how to stand again.
Can you walk on the clouds?
(Take me!)
Do you know the stars?
(Show me where you are!)
Father, (Father)
I want to walk that path,
(One day I will be)
I will be like you!
Ooooh, the sky within your eyes,
(Ooooh, look at the sun)
You taught me how to fly.
(Grow like you)
To stand so tall, to reach so high.
Can you walk on clouds? (Walk on clouds?)
Do you know the stars? (Higher now!)
Your way, It gives me faith to dream and fly!
Father, (Father)
Can you walk on clouds? (Walk on clouds?)
Do you know the stars?
(Higher now!)
Higher now!
(Again!)
Ahhhhhhhhh
06 - Heart of Steel
(You're my baby)
Cold as steel, a heart of stone,
A brutal impact, all on your own.
Damn! It makes no difference, baby,
You're so cold, you must be crazy.
It doesn't make sense, (What a satire!)
You can't hurt me! (You can't hurt me!)
I'll mop the floor with your lies. (Bitch!)
Look me in the eyes.
(Hey!) Hey!
You're my baby, and I turn my back on you!
(Sea level's so hot)
The ocean's your tomb.
You're brutal, you're so callous,
(You're so fake) a broken chalice.
Like a neck training weight (Atlas Stone),
You're a burden, sealed by fate. (You're my baby!)
(I turn my back on you)
And that's how I treat you!
Cold as steel, a heart of stone,
(Atlas Stone)
I'm leaving you alone!
The devil came and took you down.
This song won't make a sound.
The Savior raised me up from the dirt,
But the ocean's your tomb, your final hurt!
(I turn my back on you)
And that's how I treat you!
Cold as steel, a heart of stone,
(Atlas Stone)
I'm leaving you alone!
(Hey!) Hey!
You're my baby, and I turn my back on you!
(Sea level's so hot)
The ocean's your tomb.
(You're my baby)
07 - A Simple Lullaby
Here we are!
Finally together,
And it's the end of the world!
(Apocalypse!) Oooohhhhhh!
I told you!
You divided!
Where do you think we are now?
(We're in hell!) We're in hell!
This is hell,
(Hell you created!)
Hell! (Hell!)
It's the apocalypse, baby!
What did you expect?
A simple lullaby?
No, my love...
Oooohhhhhh!
We're in hell!
Heaven is on the other side!
(We're in hell!)
This is hell!
(Hell you created!)
Hell! (Hell!)
It's the apocalypse, baby!
(Angels and demons!)
You chose it, darling!
(Apocalypse!)
