The Ballad Of Jerry

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

Sad was the day
and sharp was the noise
when the hang out kid saw 
that his punishment came 
He spent too much time
in praying for joy 
It's all about a boy

First came the flashes
followed by crashes
when jealousy rose
in the form of a pistol 
Just ashes of wishes 
remained in his dishes
It's all about a boy

Jerry can dance,finally
Left all his plans
so far behind
Jerry can dance 
it's plain to see 
For the last time tonight

Between the sky
and the planks of the scaffold
when the wind it kneels down
and says: God bless you boy 
His prayer for bliss
it had been raffled
it's all about a boy

Jerry can dance, finally 
Left all his plans so far behind 
Jerry can dance it's plain to see 
Fot the last time tonight

Jery can dance finally 
Left all his plans so far behind 
Jerry can dance,
it's hellish to see
For the last time tonight

What have you done sonny-boy
now you're dancing there
on your own 
You've got your rope 
you're jerking alone

Straight To Your Heaven

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

The steam is rising off the river
the night takes a big bite from the moon 
The passion's burning in fever
and an angel's warming dope in a silver spoon
 

Go straight to your heaven...

Tonight the gallows birds are happy 
whistling the devil's weary blues 
They don't need a goddamned penny 
they're just twisting away in pointed shoes

Go straight to your heaven...

Fish headed guys came off a picture 
Bosch with his dreampipe blessed them all 
They're dancing tango with a vulture 
gay spirits riding for a fall

Go straight to your heaven...

Lord came down with some angels 
Up there He was sad and bored 
He drank a coctail with a stranger 
and then hit the road in the Devil's ford

Go straight to your heaven...

As Perfect Strangers

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

All over the world 
the time is the same the time 
when we are changing 
New ways to find 
old ones to blame 
just save a smoke for the morning

I could cry, cry for the Savior

for I hope every evening t
hat my flame sleeps away 
and the whole wide world 
is an ashtray for me in the morning

As perfect strangers
I wear down the world 
meeting bad angels 
down on the earth

 
Under the sky the scene is the same
we sin and then comes the praying 
Wounded girls wounded games
they try to keep on playing

I had a tale and I had a partner
but now they're gone with the night train 
There must be a wind up or down under 
that shows me the right way

As perfect strangers
I wear down the world 
meeting bad angels 
down on the earth

Fellows, it seems

I'm losing the flame 
and running out of dreams 
with the morning train

Party In My Bones

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

I'm shuffling down on the street 
this cold night laid me bare
I'm going down with the stream
into the city's blare

Passing by the hooker's row tempting lips, 
oh burning curse 
Hey babe save yourself for tomorrow
keep your passion in your purse

Came on! I can hear those crazy tones 
If I can't find a party, 
I'll have a party in my bones

I'm spinning round and round 
around my tattooed bones 
The dreams are razed to the ground
and covered with heavy stones

Passing by the junky's square 
it feels so dizzy, feels so gay
A giddy sniff from the air 
and I'm dating fairies right away

Come on! I can hear those crazy tones
If I can't find a party, 
I'll have a party in my bones

I'm falling outta my skin
into the midnight glass 
The shade of human sin 
is walking on magic grass
Bright morning makes me sober

 
Twilight's gone it seems so dull 
I fall prey to the brandy soaked suburb 
Hey, pour some brandy in my skull!

Come on! I can hear those crazy tones 
If I can't find a party,
I'll have a party in my bones

Touch Of Fall

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

November cold rain

shadows and fears

blows out my brain 
shedding my tears

All those bad years

just pain in my feet 
The sound of your words
a pain in my ears

Shalalilappara

Shalalilappadoo 
I'm rambling around

I've gotta find you

Deep in the redness

I rested my head
right on your shoulder

and sang

Oh, Ma Cherie

let me do it one more time 
I have a glory

when you're mine

Red yellow leaves

covered the town 
No one believes

they all fell down

An old one legged priest

tolling the bell 
He takes one more drink

then falls into hell

Shalalilappara

Shalalilappadoo 
There's nothing to find 
There's nothing to loose

Honey I want you

to bring me a beer 
It ain't no use

to scream

Oh, Ma Cherie 
let me do it one more time 
I have a glory

when you're mine

I put out my last butt

I feel nothing at all 
I'll drink my last shot

then I've gotta go

When I feel run down 
I'll finish the show
then disappear down

in Mexico

Shalalilappara

Shalalilappadoo

When you’re around

Then I’ve gotta move

You give me the feeling 
it's a walk on the moon 
and I dance on the ceiling

with you

Oh, Ma Cherie 
let me do it one more time 
I have a glory

when you're mine

If You Pay, I Sing

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

Jesus made a miracle 
Jesus made a miracle 
Jesus made my bottle walk

My day has come,
I've gotta go 
but I still have

a song to show

a song that makes

your bottle go 
I've gotta fly

when a banjo rings
But my maker gave me

hands not wings
So I've gotta fly with drinks

 
It's easier than

you would think
to sip the drink

just sip the drink 
If you pay

I try to sing anything
I'll try to drink anything

Fever

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

When the clocks strike
at last you gotta be in fever 
I've gotta leave home too
when the last train's gone 
We slide in the tattered town 
and we float on the edge of time
Screaming eyes and glowing fever

When the ghost of the town 
rolls around in fever 
And the sky spreads a hundred thousand tears 
A dealer's mumbling 
a prayer bells are jangling a hell off a lay 
When bells ring out you find me in fever

Well, just keep on movin 
the full moon tells you where to go 
Well, just keep on moving 
'cause the devil's never gonna say:
you're wrong

There's a poet with his poem
what a poor boy! 
He's stumbling with his muse right beside 
He offers his poem some wine
his eyes have infernal shine
this fallen minstrel singing of fever

Heaving sin in my skin is shaking in fever 
The fall in your arms gets hot 
it's sweating love 
We drift on the breath of the night 
A million sighs in the pale yellow light 
the need is begging for fever
 

Well, just keep on moving 
The full moon tells you where to go
Well, just keep on moving 
'cause the devil's never gonna say: 
You're wrong

At The Table Of Gloom

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

Silver rain's falling over the town 
Looks like the angels are pissing on the sly 
Lost at the counter, silently raped by the time 
I'm a stranger in the jungle and the bells ring in the sky

My darling came but she just slowly passed by 
She left on the window a misty, pale good bye 
Now I'm just wondering what is left to be mine
I'm a pauper in the jungle and the belss cry in the sky

Please! What's going on here 
Langour weaves all over the room

What's real in the web of grey fear? 
I'm just a man at the table of gloom

A rusty shape is playing a broken guitar 
He looks like an angel who came down here to die 
On the edge of nothing, where the dawn meets the night
I'm a jester in the jungle, and the belss scream in the sky

A numbing chain ties me down to the ground 
I feel like a lame bird who's still trying to fly 
Just like the wind blows sleepy leaves through the town 
I'm chased by a nightmare that belss fall from the sky

Please! What's going on here 
Langour weaves all over the room 
What's real in the web of grey fear? 
I'm just a man at the table of gloom

Make It Double

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

It's time to het a bit crazy
This night is a devilish child 
Come Lady, come get dizzy Hey! 
Come with me honey rip this night

It's time to jump in a limousine 
This time is brimming with life 
It's a rush, you better get more kerosine 
Come with me for a burning ride

Hey brother make it double! '
Cause who knows how long your can 
Please don't ever mind the trouble just like me

This time I feel like Willy 
Willy Shabby was a fatalist boy 
When the end came he wasn't shilly shally 
Hey! Come with me Willy boy just once more

Its time, go cross the river 
Cross the Styx with the ferrymen's ship 
The other world is just another bummer 
If you pay at the devil's inn leave a tip

Hey brother make it double 
'Cause who knows how long you can 
Please don't ever mind the trouble 
live a life that's worth to spend

You just never know what's coming 
Squeeze out every drop you can 
If the bad fate cuts your running 
you'll always have your rest

Just A Dream

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

I was down in the Hell's Ditch 
along with my fears where time fell asleep
and it's dreaming I saw a girl wrapped up in tears 
It was you, once again you 
I reached out my hand straight to you...

Just a dream...

I met ramblers and gamblers hunters and prey 
The aimlessly roamed in the jungle 
Begging was useless even to pray 
but you could walk on the waves 
under the skies and over the shades

Come Lady, come Come be real 
Come Lady, come through the dreams to me

Down in the town where the damned people live 
I heard soft moans and loud screaming 
There was a sound that come to my ears 
it was you, once again you 
I reached out my hands straight to you...

Just a dream...

Now I'm just stuck to the counter without any dreams 
Time is awake in the morning 
I can see you down on the street and it's you, 
oh the real you selling your charms deep in the blue

Come Lady, come come call in here 
Come Lady, come 
We'll blow away this dream...

Eugene's Cool Blues

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

Check it out here comes Eugene 
with a hash smile on his face 
He rolls around in his blue jeans 
with a tooth brush in his guitar case

When I go with him,
then I don't know where I'm going.

Check it out here comes the evil
With him you could sing a song 
Hey man, here comes the evil 
I'm sure you could make a hell of a row

When I go with him, 
then I don't know where I'm going.

Hey man, says the evil 
I'm taking home my trusty steed 
Hey man, says the evil stay high, 
say hi to the night for me

When I go with him, 
then I don't know where I'm going.

Check it out here comes Eugene
in a funky plastic form 
Check it out here comes Eugene
and he's dying for a liquor store

When I go with him,

then I don't know where I'm going.

Hey man, waddaya say 
we drink a couple of hot shots of whatever.
Hey, and get a handle on that chick problem of yours.
Just sink me "Bottle up & Go". 
Hey man, don't worry, the night will take care of you.

Finale

Music: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius Lyrics: Kiss Tibor & Varga Livius

You can be cautious

or just a rebel 
Until the day the Lord

kicks your bell 
Angel or devil

who can unravel 
So just blow it all to hell

You can be lovely

You can be ugly 
It aint no matter

if you sing or bark 
'Cos where we all go 
Just poison ivy 
will grow wild on your heart
