From 'Command Of The New Rock'

Big Shiny Limo
(lyrics © G. Florström)

Big shiny limo
Taking me away
Drove up beside me
And it seemed OK
White leather couches
And the TV´s on
Got what I need here
Never go back home

Quite clear I´ll never
Leave this limousin
Drinks last forever
So will the gasoline

Looking out the window
Don´t know where we are
As long as peanuts are free
Don´t mind if we go far
Can´t help but wonder
What made me step inside
I think someone whispered
”let´s go for a hellride”

Quite clear I´ll never
Leave this limousin
Drinks last forever
So will the gasoline

The driver looks weird
And got a wicked smell
Maybe cos he´s stone dead
And was trained in Hell

Quite clear I´ll never
Leave this limousin
Drinks last forever
So will the gasoline

A Bed at the Edge of the Universe
(lyrics © G. Florström)

Come on
Why do you stare
I´ve had a bit of bad luck lately
I´ve been
Well I don´t know where
No reason for you to hate me

I fell
A blow to my head
This isn´t one of my stories
Some girl
She thought  I was dead
I think her name was Loree

Don´t sneer
That really hurts
You make it look like I´m telling lies yeah
Might seem
That way at first
You´re upset guess I´d better hide yeah

Gonna run to my bed
At the edge of the universe

Gonna run to my bed
Gonna lay down my head
Gonna get a good night´s sleep
What I´ve sown I aint gonna reap
Gonna wake like someone new
Gonna know just what to do
Gonna run to my bed
At the edge of the universe

All Units are Out
(lyrics © G. Florström)

When we´re walking down the street
Looking for a place to eat
I´m just not there
When you´re writing letters late
And you ask me what´s the date

I´m just not there

I´m in the empty void of myself
All units are out

When we´re watching bad TV
And you´re sitting next to me
I´m just not there

When I´m drinking my coffee
Maybe smiling – don´t you see
I´m just not there

I´m in the empty void of myselfAll units are out
All units are out

If you´d take a closer look
Into my eyes I´m sure
That you would realise
What I´m talking about
Then you would see the void
The black hole inside
Then you would see the void

The perfect place to hide

I´m in the empty void of myself
All units are out
All units are out
All units are out
All units are out

Anchorage & Quito
(lyrics © G. Florström)

She´s got one hand
That´s tender
She´s got one hand
That´s cruel
One hand is
Burning red hot
The other one´s
So cool

Oh her touch is
Kinda special

She takes me down from Anchorage
Down to Quito in a nanosec
It makes me slightly dizzy
But I tell you man
I love it so what the heck

She´s got one eye
That´s evil
She´s got one eye
From God

One brings me down

To my knees
The other one
Does not

Oh her look is
Kinda special

She takes me down from Anchorage
Down to Quito in a nanosec
It makes me slightly dizzy
But I tell you man
I love it so what the heck

Soulflight
(lyrics © G. Florström)

I´ve prepared myself
Yeah I´ve talked to God
about a trip that might
seem a little odd
and I thought I had
all I needed now
but I lack one thing
before I can fly

join me
on my soulflight
on my soulflight
yeah alright

and we´ll bang the stars
we´ll make that sound
when we bang the stars
and play out of bounds

if you concentrate
it comes natural
and don´t be afraid
when the wind-god calls
he´ll explain
until we understand
what the lines mean
in Jehova´s hand

join me
on my soulflight
on my soulflight
yeah alright

and we´ll bang the stars
we´ll make that sound
when we bang the stars
and play out of bounds

All Good Things
(must come to an end)

(lyrics © G. Florström)

Yes I know
The things we say
Between the sheets
That they are
Only meant
To keep the heat
Through the night
And that you hate
To get them quoted
And I can´t
Be such a fool
To imaging something else

All good things
Must come to an end

I don´t like
To be thrown away
Like an old
Dish-cloth
I´m hardly ever used
Just one night
But I should
Get a more realistic
View on things
Cos wishful thinking´s
Leading me astray

All good things
Must come to an end

Dumdum Bullet
(lyrics © G. Florström)

You gonna maim me
With your edgy love
Same stuff nightmares
Are made of
Love´s an automatic
Gun to you
Your ammunition´s
Too cruel

You´re the most
Beautiful
Dumdum bullet
I´ve ever seen

When you enter it just
Doesn´t hurt
Only a small hole
In my shirt
And for a little moment
You´re inside
When you leave you open
My back wide

You´re the most
Beautiful
Dumdum bullet
I´ve ever seen

Firebug
(lyrics © G. Florström)

Hey baby
You never told me
Your hobby
Was to set people
On fire
Now I´m burning
All over

It´s scary
One little match
From your box girl
Sets the whole world
On fire
At least the spot
Where I´m standing

But I don´t want
No water
Oh torch me
I love it
You´re such a firebug baby

You fry me
I´m getting all crisp yeah
But that´s the way
That you want me
Guess I´ll be staying
For supper

Pool of petrol
I´m a pool of petrol
And you´re
A cigarette-butt
Throw yourself
Into me

And I don´t want
No water
Oh torch me
I love it
You´re such a firebug baby

Bridge Out Of Time
(lyrics © G. Florström)

Gonna kiss chronology bye bye
Gonna make "because" of every "why"
And now when God´s taking a nap
I´m gonna go and turn the tap

It´s all in my mind
The bridge out of time
Leading nowhere at all
That´s where I wanna go
On a bridge out of time

I´ve found a way out of this mess
At last I´m gonna get some rest
And when I´m losing my grip out on the ledge
In my mind I´m building a bridge

It´s all in my mind
The bridge out of time
Leading nowhere at all
That´s where I wanna go
On a bridge out of time

I´m gonna be busy
Cruising the time-less highway
I´m gonna be busy
Just floating away

Gonna kiss chronology bye bye
Gonna build a bridge all in my mind

Leading nowhere at all
That´s where I wanna go
On a bridge out of time

Leading nowhere at all
That´s where I wanna go
On a bridge out of time
