"THE GOVERNMENT, PT. 1 (OUR BRAINS)"
oh you've got to understand
we're here to make you great again
but sometimes hate
IT FUCKS OUR GODDAMN BRAINS OUT
we're both asleep & awake
memory goes its own way
we hate we love then we hate again
WE WANT TO BE YOUR FRIENDS

"GRAVITY"
oh I wish I hadn't lost my face among those REAL LIFE WIRES
now I'm carrying brick instead of my head
and that's not what they call perfection
they say "patience patience patience is all you need to have"
so I'm patient like a dead clock
but time fucks me over every day
and I-I-I'm fading away
I-I-I'm fading
but now I'm touching your skin and it feels so-so-so fine
and I'm kissing your lips and they taste just like honey
oh there's a devil in this world and he EATS a lot of good things
dark is the night
but I can see the stars
in your eyes
oh I wish (...)
and I-I-I'm fading away
I-I-I'm fading
but now I'm touching your skin and it feels so-so-so fine
and I'm kissing your lips and they taste just like honey
oh there's a devil in this world and
he... actually DID a lot of good things babe
so dark is the night
but I can see the stars
in your eyes in your eyes...
well sometimes I'm ashamed of what I am
and I wish I was a little bug or snail
I live in the bush of ghosts
and they are my only friends
and patience is the only thing I have these days
oh one is what one is what one is what one is
IT JUST DOESN'T CHANGE

"MISS MADNESS (DREAM SONG NO. 1)"
every day I try to remember my name
every day I swim across the sea of dreamers
you took my breath away now I want it back girl
oh maybe I just did BAD and I must be... punished?
OPA!
every day I dream that I dream of being trapped in someone else's dream
you took my breath away now I want it back girl
she said "you came to the party
so why don't you dance dance dance dance dance?!"
"don't ask me where your mind is
you should just dance dance dance dance dance! (c'mon!)"
OPA!
so that day I found her in my bed
I asked who she was
she said her name was MADNESS
"you just did BAD and you must be... punished"
she said "you took me to your bedroom
so why don't you love me love love love me?!"
"oh don't ask me where your mind is
you should just love me love love love me! (c'mon!)"
OPA!
OPA!
OPA!
yeah I guess I just did BAD and I had to be... punished!
and every day I try to remember my name
every day I try to remember my name
for my heart's your toy life is a dream and I have no rest...
...and I'm now walkin' and I'm now flyin'
I'm now vibratin' to the beat of all that jazz
and I'm now dancin' and I'm thinkin' fast and slow:
what if it's my last love last dream last song?

"FRICTION"
the soul would have no rainbows
if the eyes didn't have tears
they say the sould would have no rainbows
if the eyes didn't have tears
oh JESUS can you hear my heartbeat?
I don't feel comfortable in my own skin
'cause NEMESIS took aim at me and look at me now
oh I don't wanna stand out from the crowd
I ain't no soldier ain't no hero
I'm EVERY MAN and EVERY MAN is me now...
...but I don't really care 'bout the weather
I'm not into politics at all
I hate socializing
I wanna live in a hole
with that girl with blue eyes...
(...and we'd be like Mr. and Mrs. Mole)
(that's right!)
faint heart never won fair lady
faint heart never won fair lady they say
faint heart never won fair lady
OKAY! but look there's a snowstorm in my bedroom
and the WALLS are TUMBLING down
'cause NEMESIS took aim at me and look at me now
oh should I stand out from the crowd?
I ain't no soldier ain't no hero
I'm EVERY MAN and EVERY MAN is me now...
...but I don't really care 'bout the weather
I'm not into politics at all
I hate socializing
I wanna live in a hole
with YOU...
(YES!!!)
...for you I'M ONE OF A KIND and I can do ANYTHING!
but the question is: where to go when nowhere is safe
and the question is: why we live and why we die
actually I don't care
coz I just wanna live with you in my hole
I just wanna live with you in my hole...
well I live to stand out from the crowd!
to be your soldier and your hero
I'm not EVERY MAN
I just want to be ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'cause I don't care 'bout the weather
I'm not into politics at all
I hate fucking socializing
and I wanna live in a HOLE!
HOLE!
HOLE!
with YOU!!!

"SEX ON THE BEACH"
(I'll have one SEX ON THE BEACH please)
(thank you thank you...)
...does nobody understand?
I'm trying to pull myself together again
(yes I'm trying I'm really trying)
but I guess nobody understands
that I'm trying to pull myself together again
(oh where's my guardian angel now?)
well I said "I'll be with you through thick and thin"
and then she said "I don't want to!"
(yeah that's what she said)
so I said "I'll build you a house by my own hands"
and even then she said "I don't want to!"
(what could I do Mr Bartender?)
(oh GOD!!!)
please please don't let me die oh please please don't let me die
drinking sex on the beach in this seaside town
(I'll have the same please)
(thank you thank you...)
...but can anything be certain in this secret life of love?
there's no rest for our chemistry
damn! my everything is not enough my everything is not enough
(oh is it?! is it?! is it?! is it?!)
NO!!!
so please please don't let me die oh please please don't let me die
drinking sex on the beach in this seaside town
oh GOD!!!
oh Mr Bartender!!!

"PLASTER CASTS OF HIPSTER HEARTS"
I said "let me take you to my house
I wanna die in your arms tonite
yes I'll die in your arms
'cause love's the old way of killing and we both know that"
"oh-shit-I-kinda-feel-like-I'm-just-gonna-throw-up"
she said laughing like a little scum...
...and it stopped me dead in my tracks
and I just felt like running like Mr. Forrest Gump
well I just wanted to scream and shout I wanted to scream and shout
I wanted to scream and shout and listen to "Remain in Light"
look at me now oh GOD! you should ask how the things are!
oh why do I live up to other people's expectations instead of my own?!
love's the old way of killing and we both know that
love is always killing but it's a hell of a way to die
(let me take you to my house let me take you to my house)
(I wanna die in your arms I wanna die in your arms)
look at me now (...)

"MURDER TANGO"
she said "I leave it to the clouds
and I leave it to the rain"
under the stars circles bells
we all breathe ash that looks like air
"yes I leave it to the clouds
and yes I leave it to the rain"
under the stars circles bells
we all breathe ash that looks like air
oh god it was a dark and rainy day
when she took the knife and said
"come with me come with me boy
I hear this voice every now and then"
so we walked hand in hand
together through the rain
and we had the whole world at our feet
until we found our mercy seats...
***
(a week later)
we're seating in electric chairs next to each other
she's screaming a lot I'm silent like a lamb
and the priest says "you can kiss the bride"
"in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit
you're man and wife now
this is your wedding and the last goodbye"

"THE GOVERNMENT, PT. II (OUR HANDS)"
thank you thank you thank you...
now let me tell you something now
children are our future!
children are our everything!
children are fathers of men!
now listen and repeat dummies:
mit der nose kann man reichen mit den zahnen kann man beissen
mit den augen kann man sehen mit den ohren kann man horen
now take us for who we are
when we doubt truth and we lie
stop pushing pushing pushing
we know what we're doing now
WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW!
we let the birds rise in protests
and we drink we dance we play
stop pushing pushing pushing
the queen is dead
long live the government!
WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW!
(look at our hands! look at our hands!)
they speak for themselves
(look at our hands! look at our hands!)
we just wanna be your friends
oh you poor dummies!
take us for who we are
when we doubt truth and we lie
stop pushing pushing pushing
we know what we're doing now
WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW!
(look at our hands! look at our hands!)
they speak for themselves
(look at our hands! look at our hands!)
we just wanna be your friends
OH! we ain't no hollow men... we're the government men!
OH! we ain't no stuffed men... we're the government men!

"EXIT GHOST"
oh Henry the world runs too fast
people got all this money but they ain't got no hearts
we live in such a shallow times
death is too real to terrify
DEATH IS TOO NEAR TO TERRIFY
it's too soon to die
but it's too late to be alive
we breathe in the days and breathe out the nights
awaiting something real that kicks right in the eye...
...so let's have fun tonite my friend
'cause we'll have enough time
to do nothing when we're dead
let's have fun tonite my friend
birds will sing
the right meanings
in the end...

Tumbling Walls Kraków, Poland
“What is life?”, you asked. Well... Life is a melodramatic rock 'n' roll ride, you know. Modern men, they give away 3/4 of
their power to others; working so hard to make a living. They just need rich and healthy food, fresh and still biting synthetic sensations!
Tumbling Walls are now: Mateusz Suchecki (vocals, synth), Tetsuya Nara (guitar), Filip Franczak (bass) and Maciej Makselon (drums).
