They’re coming from the westside
Coming from the eastside walking in
They’re all shouting from the left side
Shouting from the right side where to begin
And I knew all the time I was borne a whore
So you cut out all the good words
Cut out all the kind words coming out
There’s no doubt you have been run down
Driven to the sundown, totally worn out
And I knew all the time I was borne a whore
So I stop and wonder
What pulls you under
So I broke all my bones
Just to see them grow again
Things I’ve got no defence against
So I tumble to the left side
Tumble to the right side with a grin
I got my bruises from the left side
As well as from the right side, humble within
Who speaks of homicide
Can you tell me more?
So I stop and wonder
What pulls you under
So I broke all my bones
Just to see them grow again
Things I’ve got no defence against
I waited all this time
Why should I change my mind?

I’m gonna take this flag
And gonna tear it to the ground
I gonna take my pride and shoot it down
And all the time where have you been?
Came from the outside walking in
No one’s gonna build a wall
Around us all
Gonna swallow gasoline
And gonna set my throat on fire
Gonna put my heart onto the wire
And all the time where have you been?
Came from the outside walking in
No one’s gonna build a wall
Around us all
Just shallow words and empty jars
You look like I have come from far below
It’s never easy in the end
In the end
The blood is rushing through my ears
Gone all the fairies and the wolves
The soil is moving slowly
There’s been an accident
That set the rabbits’ hutch on fire
I hear the engines call my name…
Gonna swallow gasoline
And gonna set my throat on fire
Gonna put my heart onto the…

Your vastness’s rushing by today
I wish you might
You wish I may
Put all disguise on someone else
Let all this end in pure self health
Your vastness’s passing by today
You wish I might
I wish you may
Tell all your lies to someone else
Let all this end in pure self health
I’m too bold to stay away
I’m too tired to stay awake
I’m too sick to stay awake
I’m too far away

Silhouettes

You think you can fence this all
In a moment of true sense
But no one can tell me when
This all’s gonna be as predicted
We come just to be alone again
I’m ready to sing a new song again
We run up the stairs and the fear remains
So I took all the stars
And I burned the trees
And I watch you become nothing more
Than these silhouettes
You say that giving is getting
Why do I feel so old?
Every time I apologise
Why do I feel so bold?
We come just to be alone again
So I took all the stars
And I burned the trees
And I watch you become nothing more
Than these silhouettes
So I ate all the stars
And I swallowed the trees
And I watch you become nothing more
Than these silhouettes

I followed the sound of wisdom
The truth was revealed before my eyes
All hail to the open minded
Who swallowed the deaf and all the blind
It’s easy to save all beauty
When there is just less than half a pound
And we go slowly down the drain
And this is where it all began
And the brave
Have all better things to do
So you will leave pretty soon
Andromeda Andromeda
I do receive the best and give back stones to you
Andromeda Andromeda
If you believe I will see what else I can do
I will just do my waiting
Until the shit will hit the fan
And we go slowly down the drain
Welcome this old familiar stain
And the brave
Have all better things to do
So you will leave pretty soon
Andromeda Andromeda
I do receive the best and give back stones to you
Andromeda Andromeda
If you believe I will see what else I can do
So see us going down the drain

Average Engines Hamburg, Germany
Average Engines sind eine Band zwischen allen Stühlen. Ihr Indie Rock fliegt irgendwie unter dem Coolness-Radar und raucht Filterlose. Das Zentrum ihres musikalischen Verständnisses liegt irgendwo mitten in einem Portwein-Nebel. Dem Chaos, das unser aller Leben ist, treten Æ mit einem Schulterzucken und einer Handvoll Riffs entgegen, die begehbare Schneisen in das Dickicht der Zwänge peitschen. ... more
