Stanley 03:36
he passed by with his eyes wide open he walked by but his ears were shut he passed like nobody was talking to him or the figure he got he passed by with his mind wide open he walked by with his head to the sky he passed by cause someone has spoken things about good times stanley was his name and he took the train he drove back to where he came from a safe place from a nice nice place that people called home never thinking of nero burning rome take him home

Heimat 04:10

this is my first popsong and the last time I sing about grace this is my first popsong and the last time I sing about hope because a girl standing in the flood crying in this nowhereland where is my mama where is my mama where is my mama where is my mama and why is she gone this is my first popsong but the last time I sing about love this is my first popsong but the last time I sing about peace because a boy standing on the street bullets flying around his knees screaming where is my mama where is my papa where is my brother and when do they leave oh when do they leave
