Together

break these chains of pain
keep the faith and pray
we will make it through
together

believe there is a way
to take the love we save
give it to the world
together

and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together
'cause we're friends

let the cynics cry
say we're all gonna die
we will prove them wrong
together

we know better now
we can show them how
we can learn to fly
together

and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together
'cause we're friends

The Bathroom Song

An original song.

(2009 db michel)

You're The One

i sometimes think about you
and pretend that you are here
i feel so lost and lonely
as the good times disappear
i have no consolation
all i know is you are gone
and it's left me to forget you
something i have never done

when the wind blows
when the night calls
when my heart comes all undone
i go back into my memory
you're the one
yes, you're the one

there is no resolution
for the love i lost back then
the days keep moving on now
and i can't go back again
i have no bitter feelings
just an empty bitter ache
i guess that's all that you left with
when your heart's too broke to break

when the wind blows
when the night calls
when my heart comes all undone
i go back into my memory
you're the one
yes, you're the one

Not What I'm Here For

all this fussin' and fightin'
pointin' to the video
he said...she said
what damage did they do?
the people have spoken
they've spoken loud and clear
predictions are given
it's the future we should fear
all of this drivel
runnin' down the wire
not what i'm here for

all these fugitive governors
runnin' to the talk show
she said he said
what bad thing did i do?
the losers are angry
they want to turn around
their vision of the future
we're headed straight for down
all of this drivel
runnin' through the ether
not what i'm here for

someone sing me out of here
i don't know what to do
the rush is on to hate
things we never knew

all this pushin' and shovin'
jockey for position
he said...she said
the next time will we do
other things other ways
the people just don't see
we're comin' to save them
with our own reality
all of this drivel
shinin' on my TeeVee
not what i'm here for

Only Alone

do i look like a victim
so easily led
was it my hermit ways
that made you forget
i'm not really desperate
i just don't like the phone
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

i try to remember
what made me move on
the things i've forgotten
are already gone
i don't need a memory
to tempt me from home
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

i'd live in the past
but there's only regret
i'd rather stumble along
it's as good as i get
i'm not looking for pity
in this world that i own
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

Old Masters

it's comin' again
just like it did
you hear it again
ringin' in your ears
the summit awaits
that's what you wanted
and the spirit won't break
because it carries you

on the back
of the old masters
turning you on
faster and faster
the limit exceeded
no turning back
you remember the song
of the old masters

you turn on the light
and it's shinin' on
the spirit at night
it's what you're living on
the tower is there
where you remember it
the wind in your hair
is meant to cover you

on the back
of the old masters
turning you on
faster and faster
the limit exceeded
no turning back
you remember the song
of the old masters

you can't break the chain
because it's in your blood
it's burned in your soul
it's there to carry you

on the back
of the old masters
turning you on
faster and faster
the limit exceeded
no turning back
you remember the song
of the old masters

just a lyric i wrote meant for a heavy metal backing.

You Don't Know My World

i'm still the one you see here
after all this time
you think you know me better
like i'm a simple line
in between the spaces
you never thought to look
therein lie your answers
that's where i write the book

you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me

i'm just another dreamer
swim against the tide
you think you know the story
hiding in my pride
you hang onto the bitter
it's easy to explain
you'll never understand
why i'm smiling in the rain

you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me

i'm another riddle in your episodic world
happy ending land
the guy will get the girl

you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me

Beyond The E Horizon

we are the lonely people
always looking down
searching on the ether
for what in the real world...can't be found
we like to give an appearance
that we're normal
that we're sane
but behind the stone walls we hide
a fortune in pain

lonely people reaching out
for a hand they cannot touch
lonely people holding on
to a dream that always lives
beyond the e horizon

we are the lonely settlers
in these electric plains
the heart in the real world
short circuits...in the pouring rain
we like to dream that we're happy
that we're solid
we're not fake
but behind the facade we build
a mountain of pain

lonely people reaching out
for a hand they cannot touch
lonely people holding on
to a dream that always lives
beyond the e horizon

Ringing Bells

the ice and snowy weather
wintertime is closing in
soon it will be Christmas
i can hear the ringing bells begin

ringing sounds of glory
ring the song of the Christmas story
they ring for you and me

ring on Christmas bells
ring on Christmas bells
i can't wait for Christmas day to come
ring on Christmas bells
ring on Christmas bells
ring a song of peace for everyone

the children look in wonder
at the season in their midst
soon that day is coming
they can hear the ringing bells begin

ringing sounds of glory
ring the song of the Christmas story
they ring for you and me

ring on Christmas bells
ring on Christmas bells
i can't wait for Christmas day to come
ring on Christmas bells
ring on Christmas bells
ring a song of peace for everyone

One Man Band

if i could give you one reason
why he plays on and he stays on
i would
but i don't know the magic he's hearing
as he plays on
for a world that just don't care

one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone

if i could tell you the secret
why he dreams on and he goes on
i would
but i can't reach the place he goes to
when he plays on
for a world that just don't care

one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone

and if i could get there
i'd be goin'
if i could be there
i'd be knowin'

one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone

Serbian Snow

it looks just like Serbian snow
but it's miles away you know
from my Serbian home
so far away

this place has a similar look
but it comes from an alien book
it's not like my home
so far away

i miss the sunrise in Vojvodina
i miss the people who i know so well
i miss the way my heart would be beating
when it snowed back home
anyone can tell

it looks just like Serbian skies
although it could fool my eyes
it can't fool my heart
so far away

i miss the sunrise in Vojvodina
i miss the people who i know so well
i miss the way my heart would be beating
when it snowed back home
anyone can tell

it looks just like Serbian snow
but it's miles away you know
from my Serbian home
so far away

The Days Roll By

i have a problem with doubt
i'm doubting me
don't know what i'm all about
and it bothers me
i'm just another stranger
like the ones i've known

i have some reasons to change
but i won't go
i keep 'em all on the shelf
just so i know
i'm just another slacker
i play wait and see

and the days roll by
like steamrollers runnin'
the engines...roaring
reaching for heaven
but the skies still cloudy
and the sun won't shine
it's the same damn thing
happenin' all the time

i never listen to me
so why should you?
so hey whatever i say
could not be true
i'm just another head
on the TV screen

and the days roll by
like steamrollers runnin'
the engines...roaring
reaching for heaven
but the skies still cloudy
and the sun won't shine
it's the same damn thing
happens all the time

Crazy Dream Wedding

i went to sleep this afternoon
dog tired and full of my lunch
the fever took hold
and took me right under
and there i was dressed to the nines
there was a wedding in progress
the reception was right after that
when i saw the scene
if you know what i mean
i wouldn't want to do it like that

i had a crazy dream about a wedding
that nearly destroyed a luxury hotel
there was a door that went to nowhere
but down you would fall like a well
children threw tantrums at parents
who gave them whatever they wanted
people were dazed by the music
the song would play on and on

they had a big stone for bowling
aimed it at a big palm tree
it went down a big ramp
and then the tree went over
the press had a field day with that
there was a din of news helicopters
trying to get a good shot of the tree
yeah i saw it all
the palm tree did fall
then i saw it again on TV

i had a crazy dream about a wedding
that nearly destroyed a luxury hotel
there was a door that went to nowhere
but down if you would fall like a well
children threw tantrums at parents
who gave them whatever they wanted
people were dazed by the music
the song would play on and on

I was trying to reconstruct a crazy dream i had this afternoon after i ate too much Bratwurst.

The King of Nothing

it's no longer a mystery...i found out today
i'm less than nothing...and that's how it will stay
look up and look over me...while i look down
you wear a smile...but i see a frown

and if there were to be a king
of this realm i know...if i know a thing
i should be the one at the the top
the top of the bottom is where the buck stops
and i'll be the king of nothing

so put on your dress clothes...and smile a fake smile
for those at the bottom...who are too tired to try
they'll never know it...you know that it's true
they don't aspire...to be someone like you

and if there were to be a king
of this realm i know...if i know a thing
i should be the one at the the top
the top of the bottom is where the buck stops
and i'll be the king of nothing

(bridge)
here with forgotten people
here with with their trampled dreams
i'll be the king of nothing
where nothing is everything

it's no longer a mystery...i found out today
i'm less than nothing...and that's how it will stay
look up and look over me...while i look down
you wear a smile...but i see a frown

and i'll be the king of nothing
i'll be the king of nothing
