Stomp

I do the dance
I do the dance
I shake my legs
and I shake my hands
All around
Come watch the clown
It takes two to tango
and one limb to fail
why do they laugh
and shout out 'Hail'
when I'm down?
GIve me the crown
Oh the cloven foot stomp
I do the walk
the tight rope walk
Stumbling down
‘though I tried to stalk
All around
Come watch the clown
can't keep the pace
can't keep the pace
makes the world
a lonely place
when you're down
Take back the crown
Oh where do you go?
Oh the cloven stomp
blame me lord for what I’ve done
tried to be your special one
with my hoof
my cloven foot
but I knocked them down, I knocked them down
then I stamped them into the ground
with my hoof
the cloven foot

Leaving the playground

You need some help, you want to break
your plastic knife, your silver plate
we’ll force the night into the day
I know a way that leads astray
C’mon, c’mon….follow
C’mon, c’mon….come out to play
C’mon, C’mon…shallow
C’mon, C’mon
Hold me, I was so bold when they told me,
I will grow old when they tell me
No I never break that spell
Get your pads and rocking horse
Later on we’ll find remorse

Love be gone
03:41

Love be gone
and take her with you
She did me wrong
she’s been untrue
Lying lonesome by her side
Trying to keep her out of sight
Tonight we’ll fight
Love be gone
I can’t take it anymore
Make it all undone
like it ́s been before
When her lies had been truth
And the word still its use
Tonight we’ll fight
Strung out, strung out again
Put me back in line
So long, masterplan
Now I’m prepared to die
And I try, try and try
I can’t get her out of mind
Love be gone
I can’t take her anymore
Make it all unsung
like it was before
Lying lonesome by her side
Try to keep her out of mind
Tonight we’ll fight
Strung out, strung out again
Put me back in line
So long, masterplan
Now I’m prepared to die
And I try, try and try
I can’t get her out of mind

Foliage

The falling leaves
down on the street
Like children's hands
at the playground fence
That lose their grip
and down they slip
Into the street
like falling leaves
Catch me, catch me, catch me I’m falling down
For the love that you share
For the love you can spare
Please just make these days go by
The falling leaves
like bloody sheets
the path we walk
right into the dark
Catch me, catch me, catch me I’m falling down
For the love that you share
For the love you can spare
Please just make these days go by

Sleeping Beauty

I was the boy next door
and you’re the queen of the second floor
living in a cage
made of gold and mother’s rage
does all that life could bring
seem to fit between
the front seat of some car
broken bones and broken hearts
and you crushed into this sleep
a hundred miles per hour deep
so please wake up
and take me by the hand
and lead me far from where it ought to end
now they dressed you up in white
like an unkissed, unwilling bride
lying in a cage
filled with blood and inner rage
and you crushed into this sleep
a hundred miles per hour deep
so please wake up
and take me by the hand
and lead me far from where it ought to end

The war in my head
the troops have gathered
on a battlefield of ... and misery
Not love misguides us
but hope divides us
and the side you chose to be on
and she begged my not to expect
and she asked me not to tell a thing
all my love
The war in my head
and all that's been said
a wall of words has been built between you and me
Not love misguides us
but hope divides us
and the side you chose to be on

I'd like to be the one for you
who catches you in the rye
I'd like to be the one for you
who gets you by and by
but you don't need me

Black As Chalk Göttingen, Germany
Rustic and sensual. Sparse and spooky. Furious and lucid. Black As Chalk are wrenching a sound out of their souls, their instruments and the gritty, rainy alleys of their age-old hometown Göttingen; which combines the clashing impact of Noiserock with the atmospheric poetry of original Indie-aesthetics. Timeless melodies hide deep in the apparent chaos of the garage. ... more
