mom said: “come back home.
that’s not your job.
tricks and wands are not made for you.
take off your cloak,
finish your homework.
Listen to mom, it’s an order.
come back home
my little boy.
sleight of hand..
there’s no time for fun.
you do tricks, but you’re only six.
Please don’t become invisible again”
son said: “you don’t leave me any choice
these are not simple toys
but tools for my magic future
i’ll try to slice you in two
i’ll take you to my room
you’ll be my test in this box
don’t say it loud
that’s my secrecy
i’ll become an illusionist
that’s what i am,
you can’t stop my end
please let me do, it’s my destiny
you don’t leave me any choice
these are not simple toys
but tools for my magic future
i’ll try to slice you in two
i’ll take you to my room
you’ll be my test in this box”
mom said: “don’t put me in that box
is against the law
and you never did it before”

I remember when
i came and i saw you mom and dad.
the sunlinght came through the windows caressing the bed.
and you were so embraced,
my armor was crumbling
you were so embraced that i couldn’t see.
trainee doctors were out of the room with their own mess.
but you were so motionless, totally involved, totally deaf.
so I thought
you’d better leave him.
he knows what is always best.
now you have to let him go away.
i know what a pain.
i pulled out my sword,
i fought against all the doctors.
but my strokes didn’t hurt.
nothing make sense.
nothing is known.
and you were so embraced
my armor was crumbling.
you were so embraced that i had to leave
peacefully.

Scarf around my neck
and a cigarette please once more again
in this cold afternoon,
i’m walking waiting for my moon
coming down to the sea
i think back to days that passed me by
the bar that brought us together
is far away. as if it never
tell me what you need and i’ll try to do everything
place your faith in my hands and in my capabilities
i cover you under my coat and i ask what do you feel?
you reply to feel at home and have less of a chill
i love you so much i did my best
to destroy us and to bend us
two young lovers pass me by very happy
because they know what it’s worth
the hat on my head
risks to fly away once more again
waves now in front of me,
are unleashed on the promenade & the main street
everyone wants to escape from the apocalypse
lights turn on and off all the time on the street
i keep myself quiet to watch what it’s gonna be
in a single moment everything gets swept away from me
i often come back to my vices
weakness and drugs as usual everyday
two strange lovers passed me by very angry
for what would have been
for what would have been

mickey mouse gloves
open the doors to Mrs Plastic girl
and when she gets off,
she never thanks cause she has a lot of money
money to silence people
money to feed each ass-kissers
money to overpower
every vulture and the words of others
it always has been like this (X 2)
who knows where else she goes
to make a speech
so sophisticated
fancy parties for her
where she will show all her charm
she’s so delicate
the madame with no sin
maybe her husband is a crook a bit
but it’s not important,
ooohhh no!!
she has her gloves 7 days a week
it’s time to get to know this (X2)
who knows where else she goes
to make her speech so sophisticated
fancy parties for her she’s a haughty taste woman
she’s so delicate

Hey Mister,
you need to know why you run every day
with no kind
of look on your face
sail away
in the open sea away from wane don’t look back
today
or until your pain
hei mister
do you remember what happened in may?
you took your stuff
and turned off your brain
and then the explosion
in the house of love you celebrate
you drank your cup
and stammering you said
“don’t tell me it’s over over ahhhh
remember the compass
take me to a place where to be
don’t leave me alone because i’m weird
don’t get me over hey mister!!
all the ghosts
and the skeletons in your cupboard
they come to light
they want you to bare
don’t tell me it’s over over ahhhhh
remember the compass ahhhhhh
take me to the place where to be with you oohhh
don’t leave me alone because i’m weird

Something To Die For

(G. Mannucci)
I need something to die for
on the earth there are many explosions
like a stuntman in the hardest action
we search for very dangerous time
you feel like screaming but you don’t know how
you feel like screaming but you don’t know how
I need something to die for
on the earth there are many explosions
on the top I wanna go for
for estimating the sliding of time
you feel like screaming but you don’t know how
you feel like screaming but you don’t know why
you feel like screaming but you don’t know how
you are too busy to distract yourself
and always ready to fall down mix your breath with the chemistry
of your best feelings
you’ll have real happiness
you feel like screaming but you don’t know how
you feel like screaming but you don’t know why
you feel like screaming but you don’t know how
you feel like screaming but you don’t know how

(G. Mannucci)
is this the world that we want?
is this the world that we love?
everyone is only confident
of his reasons and himself
is this the world that we thought?
without lovers and without goals?
keeps feeling sorry for yourself
it’s the ordinary, the new trend
don’t say “love” whenever you want,
it’s hard to say “i feel good i feel good i feel good”?
don’t face your joy whenever you want
someone might get confused get confused
is this the world that we want?
is this the world that we follow?
there is someone who’s really sure
about the end of this world
home sweet home
it kills you
have you ever done have you ever done
something very fun something very fun?
have you ever done have you ever done
travels so far travels so far?
don’t say “love” whenever you want
it’s hard to say “i feel good i feel good i feel good”?
don’t face your joy whenever you want
someone might get confused get confused
I shout loud the following words
“i feel good i feel good i feel good”
I face my joy whenever i want
i don’t mind if get confused get confused

Scan Your Eyes

(G. Mannucci)
Me and you in a valley
with no exit road
nobody around us
nobody between us
nobody
We can’t run away from
We can just resign to scan
our eyes without any fuss
our eyes
do you remember how we end up
right in the middle of this heart
we were travellin’ by train
I sat down in front of your face and when
you moved your eyelashes
I cried
Let me share in our endless felicity
please don’t forget
have you seen the rapid flash?
have you seen?
do you remember how we end up
down in the middle of this heart
and when
you moved your eyelashes
I cried
Do you remember how we end up
right in the middle of this heart

(E. Dominici)
She always tells I should reach for the stars
Always repeating “you’re more than you are”
Isn’t it funny how things often go She just forgot all that she loved me for
So now I am asking myself once again
“Why can’t she love me the way that I am?”
Should I be different? Should I be rich?
Should I become what I’m not what she needs?
It’s a revolution to change the things she doesn’t like about me A game of confusion to give up and go along with all her wishes
All of my friends told me that I’m a fool
‘Cause I’ve decided to give it a go And the new person I’m now isn’t real
It’s just a shadow of what I used to be
So now that I’m different now that I’m rich
That I’ve become all the things that she needs
Look at the mirror and what do I see?
Only the ghost of a man haunting me
[And the new person I’m now isn’t real
It’s just a shadow of what I used to be
Look at the mirror and what do I see?
Only the ghost of a man haunting me]
It’s a revolution to change the things she doesn’t like about me A game of confusion to give up and go along with all her wishes
We will go, we’ll go far and finally reach the stars
Me and my girl, we are not free But we will reach the stars she loves me now
maybe
we’ll finally reach the staaaaaars I don’t know
well I don’t know !!!

(G. Mannucci)
on the bay of San Francisco
I saw a man who danced the disco
and the crowd was very upset
in front of his sommersaults he did continuously
in San Francisco
I saw a rasta man who whistled
the deepest “redemption song”
for a stupid little dollar or whatever you want
oh freedom here I am
catch me you know you can oh freedom here I am
on the bridge of San Francisco
the wind gave me a whisper
that brought me back home
for the lenght of its breath you were there with myself
on the bay of Frisco
sea lions sang a jingle
the original soundtrack
for a stupid little dollar or whatever you have
oh freedom here I am
catch me you know you can oh freedom here I am
let me lie on the grass
to watch the sky and its colours
