02. Nice Place For A Sad Story

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
A naughty boy, a pretty girl
The coolest lad and prom night queen
A sleepy town, a country school
The cruelest place you've ever seen
The signs of bars and traffic lights
So where you think could all this happen?

Right!
Just look outside
Ain't it the same street spreading far and wide?
Just step outside
And see this story with your own eyes

A cell, a flower store
A field of graves? that's something weird
It may be strange, it may be odd
Sometimes it's hard to hold your tears
It's not a tale with elves and knights
You almost know where it could happen

Right!
Just look outside
Ain't it the same street spreading far and wide?
Just step outside
And see this story with your own eyes

"More spite and love, less joy and laugh,
This time it's all a real life
Frustrated plight, a suicide?
No chance to wait for a happy ending"

Right!
Just look outside
Ain't it the same street spreading far and wide?
Just step outside
And see this story with your own eyes

Right!
Just look outside
Ain't it the same street spreading far and wide?
Just step outside
And see this story with your own eyes

03. Snow White

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
This sunny morning looks so nice
And all is so refreshing
She hears the ticking of her clock
No sign of past depression
But yet she feels it's not some stupid dream at all

And Snow White awakes
And Snow White awakes
Your soul is full of light
You've found the heart you miss
And Snow White awakes
And Snow White awakes
The sleeping belle revived
Because of true love's kiss

But not a day before?when all was painted in black
She cried by nights and felt so weary
And everything around seemed to be evil and unkind
Her tired eyes were blind and blearing
It's odd to see the smile now in a looking glass

And Snow White awakes
And Snow White awakes
Your soul is full of light
You've found the heart you miss
And Snow White awakes
And Snow White awakes
The sleeping belle revived
Because of true love's kiss

This sunny morning looks so nice
And all is so amusing
You see the things you never knew
This world is so confusing?
It fells like you become a freaky child again

And Snow White awakes
And Snow White awakes
Your soul is full of light
You've found the heart you miss
And Snow White awakes
And Snow White awakes
The sleeping belle revived
Because of true love's kiss

04. Red Road In Purple Haze

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
This pair is fascinating
They're looking really cool
So nobby, so enchanting
They're best students in the school

They want to be the therapists
They always get an "A"
The leaders of the rating lists
The heroes of Prom Day

Watch your back
Watch your way
You can't always be the best
Watch your back
Watch your way
There will be a day you'll fail the test

Six hundred five horsepower
Red label turned the head
One hundred miles an hour
All traffic lights are red

Carry, carry, carry, carry, carry on
"Chill out, Chelle, there's nothing wrong?"
Stand on the gas, don't let it go
"?Oh, NO!"

Watch your back
Watch your way
You can't always be the best
Watch your back
Watch your way
There will be a day you'll fail the test

Watch your back
Watch your way
You can't always be the best
Watch your back
Watch your way
There will be a day you'll fail the test

Come on, come on, come on!
Carry on!

06. Bubble Bath

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
Another day of shameful living's coming to an end
Twelve hours of jests and hurting words that Mickey's used to stand
A daily dose of cruel gibes, a sorrow's set in emerald eyes
Who the hell needs such a being when the dying looks so nice?

Pleasant smell of bubble bath
Slow, slow, slow, slow down your breath
Let the life flow out of veins
Do you really think it's gonna ease your pains?

A nagging hurt of dirty pranks is tearing her apart
How could they all be so unkind and stab her in the heart?
Sweet-scented foam is getting red while scarlet drops are dripping
A final whiff of Mary Jane before a long and quiet sleeping

Pleasant smell of bubble bath
Slow, slow, slow, slow down your breath
Let the life flow out of veins
Do you really think it's gonna ease your pains?

"How could you be so unkind? How could you be so unkind?
How could you all be so blind and make me live that way?!"

Pleasant smell of bubble bath
Slow, slow, slow, slow down your breath
Let the life flow out of veins
Do you really think it's gonna ease your pains?

Pleasant smell of bubble bath
Slow, slow, slow, slow down your breath
Let the life flow out of veins
Do you really think it's gonna ease your pains?

07. Pit Muses Have No Pity

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
How many days have passed since
That crazy summer day
I haven't seen your face so far?
What's up with you today?
It seems like everything is wrong
I cannot sleep at night
And all I have is just? that void inside

Somebody help me to change what I've done
I feel that time is against me
I have no time
Give a chance to explain it to everyone
I know that time is against me
I have no time

From early morning till late night
My company is me
I hate this place and even more
I hate myself for being here
If only I could say a word
But you don't give a try
You didn't come, you didn't call?
And no one tells me why?

Somebody help me to change what I've done
I feel that time is against me
I have no time
Give a chance to explain it to everyone
I know that time is against me
I have no time

Somebody help me to change what I've done
I feel that time is against me
I have no time
Give a chance to explain it to everyone
I know that time is against me
I have no time

Somebody help me to change what I've done
I feel that time is against me
I have no time
Give a chance to explain it to everyone
I know that time is against me
I have no time

Somebody help me to change what I've done
I feel that time is against me
I have no time
Give a chance to explain it to everyone
I know that time is against me
I have no time

08. A Rose For Michelle

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
A youthful fellow humbly came into a flower store
A present for a pretty girl is what he's looking for
He knows that she is wild about handsome yellow blooms
How many roses in the room... That's good one, he presumes

A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
We disagreed but now it has no sense
A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
I know I'm wrong but give me one last chance
I'll never fail...

An undertaker's car has stopped beside a flower store
A bunch of roses for a girl that died the night before
Her crying parents said that she adored some yellow plants
There is a lot of stuff like that... Let's buy it all at once!

A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
We disagreed but now it has no sense
A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
I know I'm wrong but give me one last chance
I'll never fail...

A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
We disagreed but now it has no sense
A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
I know I'm wrong but give me one last chance

A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
We disagreed but now it has no sense
A yellow rose for Michelle
A rose for Michelle
I know I'm wrong but give me one last chance
I'll never fail...
I'll never fail...
I'll never fail...
I'll never fail!

10. The Afterguide

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
Leaden sky, a snowy lane
The dateless willows standing stripped
Weeping cry of mourning train
An angel's waiting on the crypt

Goodbye, my little child
A better world awaits you
We've lost your shining smile
We'll always, always miss you
Now lord is watching for a soul
That left your flesh today
Goodbye, my little child, and fly away?

Callow ghost fell out of shell
A frightened girl in dead men's land
Faint shade of young Michelle
The angel takes her lifeless hand

Goodbye, my little child
A better world awaits you
We've lost your shining smile
We'll always, always miss you
Now lord is watching for a soul
That left your flesh today
Goodbye, my little child, and fly away?

A crystal tear
A crystal tear has fallen
The gate is near
The light of new asylum
The angel leads the way
Its wings are widely spread
Farewell, you cannot stay
New home lies ahead

Goodbye, my little child
A better world awaits you
We've lost your shining smile
We'll always, always miss you
Now lord is watching for a soul
That left your flesh today
Goodbye, my little child, and fly away?

11. Sonny On His Way

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
The countryside was left behind, some towers showed up
The sleepy station heaved in sight, my train came to a stop
I take my bag and coat, I know it's cold but I'm so happy to be here
I hit the dusty ground and look around, the dirty city's roaring near

Let's make some noise
I'll do my best in stirring up this hornets' nest
It's time to go ahead and make a breakaway
Let's make it clear
You may protest against an uninvited guest
But no one cares of what you say
It's Sonny on his way

The lines of shining streets, the crowds of running folks
Wherever you may be you'll hear a never-ending drone
The pulse ?? urban beats, stone walls and giant blocks
A place where you will never be alone
I watch out carefully, it's not what I used to see
The stone jungle full of threat
My goal is somewhere near, I go without a fear
I got a plan inside my head

Let's make some noise
I'll do my best in stirring up this hornets' nest
It's time to go ahead and make a breakaway
Let's make it clear
You may protest against an uninvited guest
But no one cares of what you say
It's Sonny on his way

The countryside is far away, the towers rise a field
The sleepy station lies behind, new world is revealed
I hold my bag and coat, I know it's cold but I'm so happy to be here
I walk the dusty ground and look around, the city's roaring near

Let's make some noise
I'll do my best in stirring up this hornets' nest
It's time to go ahead and make a breakaway
Let's make it clear
You may protest against an uninvited guest
But no one cares of what you say
It's Sonny on his way

13. Strayed Moppet

Music & lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff
Unending brakes
All things around creep and fly
The sun awakes
Eroding the black of morning sky
I feel its pounce on my back
So gruesome!
I need to find the very track
That leads to home!

Strayed! I'm lost again
Inside the backwoods of the sylvan maze
I failed! It's all in vain
I guess I'll never find my own trace
My chest is melting in a squeeze
My noodle is to bloat
The foul stench of strawberries
Incinerates my throat

My lovely vaults
With mossy walls of soggy stones
Droll somersaults
Of tasty worms in mellow bones

The shady barrows where I grew
Among the angels set in cry
I want to get me there anew!
Before I mummify!

Flowers... The life is everywhere
No any rotten dainty To fare
Hours... Are melting thick and fast
I need to get me out of here [to get me out of here] at last!
