You are flying like an aeroplane Through the streets tonight, coz of a message I have written to another girl Now I have to try, and delete The whole phone gallery There was a feeling of trust with us From me to you, from you to me Now the only way out for me Is another lie, or die I hear you coming… [Ch.] Now there’s no need to look around The solution you already found, so (Don’t look at my history) Now you don’t need to look around The solution you already found, so Now you’re done with me And the other girl knows about us I am absolutely free and I don’t despair, a quick search’s enough In my phone history… [Ch.] Now there’s no need to look around The solution I already found, so (Come on baby light my fire) Now I don’t need to look around The solution I already found, so Now there’s no need to look around The solution I already found, so (Don’t look at my history) Now I don’t need to look around The solution I already found, so

Microphone 04:15
When I wake up in the morning, I know it’s better I pinch my nose coz I smell like a cow I put on my slippers, I go in my bath, only a shower can solve my problem, but… When I wake up in the morning, I am all sweat you don’t know how much I hate the water in my hair I have tried to dry it, but between my legs I am so wet again and all I need is… [Ch.] I need a hairdryer in the bath But all I got’s a microphone and I sing in the mirror Now another doubt: I don’t want to wash, please but I can’t go outside with the dirt on my knees I really gotta go, there’s a ringing bell But I need a bath or I’ll be smelling like hell When I wake up in the morning, I am all sweat you don’t know how much I hate the water in my hair I have tried to dry it, but between my legs I am so wet again and all I need is… [Ch.] I need a shower head in the bath But all I got’s a microphone and I sing in the shower I love my microphone, I’m so glad But this fucking microphone sure’s no use in the shower If you wanna be like me baby, there’s a price to pay I am asleep in my bedroom and now I live in a castle, in my dreams… “So many people around my microphone, I want to understand… why” “So many creatures slain by my sword, so many meanings… a microphone” The story never ends. [Ch.] I need my microphone ‘til the end Just a real microphone, I want out of the bathroom My dirty microphone now I know I smell like a rock star and I’m sure I’m not alone!

Happy! pt. 2 01:17
The warden threw a party in the country school A-ha-ha… Happy! Happy was a guy with a passion for Blues A-ha-ha… Happy! Spider Numa played the tenor saxophone A-ha-ha… He’s happy! Little Joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone and Happy… is the Pelvis in the Memphis! Non mangio tutti i giorni, vuoi sapere perché? Guadagno troppo poco anche se suono bene… Lo so, i locali lo fanno per me: che poi se mangio sempre hamburger muoio come il re! Pasta in bianco!

Non ho mai compreso i dettami della “nuova socialità” Pare che il consenso premi più che altro l’aggressività Ho provato a digitare: “Salve, potrei dare la mia opinione?” Dalle fogne si alza un grido: “è arrivato il professorone” Lui che tutto sa Cambia la realtà Chissà chi lo pagherà [Ch.] Ormai tu sei convinto che chi ha studiato non sa niente Meglio pompare sui cliché irrealtà virtuale Prendi la pastiglia, che forse medicina non è Fai la scelta giusta, io non ti capisco perché Usi gli asterischi, la mia stessa lingua non è Navigo nell’ombra, quella del “dark web” Come un film alla TV Non progredisci proprio più Hai scelto la pillola blu [Ch.] Ormai tu sei convinto che il sole sorge ad occidente La terra è piatta ma tranquillo c’è l’effetto Pac-Man Ormai mi son convinto che dentro il vuoto non ho ragione di esistere… “I log-out, log-out, log-out!” Ormai mi son convinto che dentro il vuoto non ho ragione di esistere… log-out “I log-out, log-out”.

This world is spinning around me Every day sends future to fat Every bite leaves me One less to my last Every meal I think is the best His name was “Father McKenzie” The one of the sermon no-one will hear His loneliness, his sadness Unbelievable What have you done? [Ch.] Dr. Nowzaradan, I can’t wait I think I’m two hundred and twenty-eight But you know (the) seas increase and then fall again This world is spinning without me I’m too much I want to hide Watch the bird falling Gives new meaning to it all I want to eat it but I don’t know if I can [Ch.] Dr. Nowzaradan, wait for my weight I think I’m one hundred and twenty-eight But you say I’m a liar “The scale doesn’t lie, people do…” A few months have passed I don’t want to step on the scale If I had done better If I had eaten less Do you want the story until the end? [Ch.] Dr. Nowzaradan, wait for my weight I think I’m one hundred and seven… Coz the weight of my soul is twenty-one Not grams but kilograms…

Il termine deriva da una vecchia battuta Non è una bugia, la cosa è accaduta veramente A Calvin Coolidge, il Presidente! In visita alla fattoria sperimentale, sovvenzionata, statale: assieme alla First Lady Osservava ogni animale. Un esemplare maschio Messo in un ammasso Di femmine, è un salasso Rischia il collasso Non regge il passo Ma appena un nuovo pezzo Di femmina fa ingresso Lui ritorna un asso Ed è una cosa non banale Il Presidente ha sempre avuto ragione: cambiare partner sessuale può far bene, può far male [Ch.] Non mi accontento ma non sono un latin lover, fidati di me: perché ballo con le altre ma parlo di te. Coolidge! 109 galline al minuto, non accade soltanto al pennuto ma ogni bestia in una nuova situazione subito è pronta per un’altra emozione… Lui non si annoia, e no che non si annoia, non si annoia, no che non si annoia, no che non si annoia. Il siniscalco avea ragione Anch’io volevo ritornare vitale Della catena alimentare, sono l’ultimo… mangiami tutto! [Ch.] Non mi accontento ma non sono un latin lover, fidati di me: perché ballo con le altre ma parlo di te.

Let it Go 03:48
When I was at home, When I was dreaming in my bedroom Reading on a site, I may have found the solution “Inflatable dream” just a click and now she’s on the road Take out of the box, I’ve inflated my doll [Ch.] Let me go inside your broken hole, you’re my inflatable Let it go, inside your plastic – doll – you’re the only one I need, [The] queen of the night, I will never forget the sound of your voice, When you say to me… “shhh shhh shhh…” Maybe your figure does not look like the girls in my dreams And yet the AD said: “designed with 3 different air tubes” Now that I’ve had a better look, you are not that kind of queen You are my dinghy, the queen of the sea [Ch.] Let me go inside your broken hole, you’re my inflatable I’ll let you come, into my broken heart, you’re the queen of… my lockdown Let it go, inside your little hole, you’re my dinghy doll I’ll let you come into my broken heart, you’re the only one I need coz you’re the queen of the night I will never forget the sound of your voice, when you say to me… Broken doll, now you’re broken, they say: “Toss it in the trunk” But you’re my love, with my chewing gum, I can fix you… Let’s go [Ch.] We can go, the sea was in your soul, many years ago The sunrise comes, the wave grows Oooooooh… “Love Boat”

Pieni gli alberghi a Tunisi per le vacanze estive A volte un temporale Non ci faceva uscire Un uomo di una certa età Mi offriva spesso sigarette turche, ma… [Ch. x2] Spero che ritorni presto l’era del cinghiale bianco Profumi indescrivibili nell’aria della sera Studenti di Damasco vestiti tutti uguali L’ombra della mia identità Mentre sedevo al cinema oppure in un bar [Ch. x2] (Ma) spero che ritorni presto l’era Del cinghiale bianco [cit.] La linea orizzontale, ci spinge verso la materia. Quella orizzontale, verso lo spirito.
