Tracks



01. World Of Adventures

Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
I'm back in the world of adventures
in grand new adventures, expect to fly
I'm deep into sonical changes
radical strangeness and I don't know why

We run the fields in the summernight
in silent kisses in black and white
and we'll make footprints on a higher ground
We're children of the Woodstock nation
lost in peace and comtemplation

I'm the magic carpet rider
the strawberry glider across the sky
We're getting high on adventures
say goodbye to the pressure
prepare to fly

We run the fields in the summernight
in silent kisses in black and white
and we'll make footprints on a higher ground
We're children of the Woodstock nation
lost in peace and contemplation

02. Atomic Prince / Kaleidoscope

Music by Roine Stolt
[instrumental]

03. Go West Judas

Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
You left with a promise and sealed with a kiss
remember beginnings, it was nothing like this
Like brothers in arms, now worlds apart
you follow the rainbow, I follow the heart

Now, I'm perfect, I'm no Saint
but you can't fool me, so whip off that paint
You may think that I'm your stepping stone
but in this game your'e all alone

Go west Judas, see what you'll find
now, we all know what's on your mind
Just got and get it, go on collect and
burn your bridges, what did you expect

You're far from grace & you're far from home
You think you're safe in that pleasure dome
Now, racing the temple of the snakes
soon out of control, start pulling the brakes

There's no way you can become clean
you're knee deep in the mean machine
In blood you signed the dotted line
so it's no surprise the sun won't shine

Go west Judas, see what you'll find
go on "Sieg Heil" the dollar sign
You blackheart of the human trade
now wizard of the everglades

04. Train To Nowhere

Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
No expressions on their faces in the rain
We're ain't going nowhere children, we're just strangers on a train
No goodbye, no use sending letters home
There's one way to oblivion and that road ain't far from home

You may find it hard to face the evil, do you Son?
You still think a miracle will happen, when you face the gun

And then we'll fade into the night
we hold our precious dreams inside
with young hearts open wide
Running on the edge of time
so won't you hold me one last time
go tell the world about the crime
and let it never happen ever again

A fool beileved his Kingdom would last a thousand years
Now the echoes paint a future
but tomorrow hold the tears
The World is watching, but then no one have seen the end
Running on a train to nowhere
that's the bitter truth my friend
Will we ever learn so the crosses burn!

You still find it hard to face the evil, do you Son?
You still think a miracle will happen, when you face the gun

The world will fade into the night
will someone remember my name
Ride this nightmare to an end
so won't you hold me one last time
go tell the world about the crime
and let it never happen ever again

08. My Cosmic Lover

Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Give me your time
I'll give you the message
Go for a ride, into this brand new world
Hear me what I say, It's a perfect day
It's a perfect time, for a partnership in crime
It's a secret world, come on boys and girls
are you in or out? far beyond imagination

Buy a one way ticket to salvation, be my humble slave
Be a faithful servant, be eternal, walk among the brave

Do you believe that I'm the chosen one
So mystified, almost a son of God
Be aware of me, is it plain to see?
Am I false or true? AmI dust out of the blue?
Turn the world around, lift me off the ground
I'm the sign of time, singing praise the dollar sign

Buy a one way ticket to salvation, be my humble slave
Be a faithful servant, be eternal, walk among the brave

09. The Wonder Wheel

Music by Roine Stolt
[instrumental]

10. Big Puzzle

Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Face to face with the iconized
picked me up when I was falling
Once the dream revealed his face
he turned around, now he's calling

Two worlds, two lives in this dream
down the river of love together
Two birds fly into the sun
to unit in this dream forever

He said, "Son of mine, whom I idolize
your very first smile touched my heart
I'll be by your side in the darkest of nights
when this nightmagot a gripon your heart"

Big Wheels of evolution, round & round, around we go
out of chaos and cinfusion, make our way into the flow
One step and one more closer, man move in every way
high hopes, a new direction, a new level everyday

Don't know where we're coming from,
don't know where we're going to
another trick of evolution, into the cosmic revolution

Every night when I'm watching the sky,
look for big ships passing by
I'm out on my own, you may say that I'm alone
and wish that someone would take me home

Man build big machines, sail across the skies
Rope ladder to the moon, the nigth have a 100 eyes
Now children hurry home, to the million dollar dream
Still life in TV land U-tutor in extreme

Don't know where we're coming from
don't know where we're going to
another trick of evolution, into the cosmic revolution

Every night you look down from a star,
here I'm stranded with my blue guitar,
don't know if it's real but I know what I
feel and I feel it's time for spinning the wheel

But what can I do or what can I say to stop the world from turning
I can always wish you'll believe me when I
say we get closer the more we're learing
We were born in the sparkling ignition of lust
once in the timeless soul found a home
This puzzle grand is not of this earth
You know well, you can't make it alone
You can't make it alone
