torcha Lyrics

All lyrics by Hatakka

 

01 Lights on


You thing you're smart when you dance so hot, but you wink your eyes too fast
Ooh, how hard we'd try o manage this night could never last
Take this moment and slide into freedom an' play this game of love
Same old story, it's easy to guess - you'll get my body torn

Power is so attractive, yeah it makes me use my gun
Ooh, how hard you try to manage this game can't make you a num
Be my boss and use your freedom and pay for your sins later
Let's get down to bussiness and shut these fucki' lights, yeah

Chorus:
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on honey, it's so dark in here
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on (deep in your head)
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on masses, move your asses on!

Why do you try to act like someone who knows everything
In fact you're just a lost little girl who tries to save her own skin
Why dontcha try to convince me, try to really turn me on
Instead of cheating and telling me lies show that you're a real one!

You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on honey, can't you turn me on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Move your asses, move on masses!
Hey, you creepies, turn the lights!
You'd better turn the lights on...
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Why do we treat each other like it was the end of the human race
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
You'd better turn the lights on
Move on masses, move your asses!

02 The lie of the zombie

Son: I saw the eyes of the american war machine
Father: It's such a wise way of thinking to get us some scene
Son: The video war games can sometimes be so boring!
Father: Sand castles made to crash! You're not a boy anymore
If you can't grab a gun you'll stay alone at the shore
and everybody thinks you're too childlish and unable to get along!

Zombie (coming): Come here - you get caught!
I got my eyes on you! Be good, be my body -
I put my lies in you!

Do you remember when your daddy felt quite mad
'coz he I put didn't understand why you felt so sad;
Father: My boy, you have to face it, you're becoming a man!
Still you feel changin' tunes where ever you go
Though even girls are looking at you everywhere
but I thing I know baby, c'mon and get your share!

CHORUS
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)...
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)... Don't mess with the man!
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)...
Lie of the Zombie (yeah!)... Don't mess with the Sam!

Son: Today I slept through my broken dream
Hmm, it wasn't how it should be...
Zombie: Code number 102!
Son: Now i think they're going to cut me to pieces
Can I ever get the right answer or just lies
Nevermind 'coz there's no right way to swallow my pride
I am what I am on this crazy stand! (Lend your hand!)
Zombie: Please stop looking around
Please stop looking around - I got my lies in you!
Please stop looking around
Please stop looking around - I put my eyes on you!

(Son: does it matter anymore?!)

CHORUS

03 I held you so long

A time of no passion lives somewhere in me
It's a pity to realise that there's no more love
I held you in my arms, I held you so tight
But one day the flame went out and I was alone

CHORUS
Oh, I'm going on, I held you oh so long
Oh, I'm going on, to find where I belong

I felt I was happy, no-one knew about me
Someday they will find out, how brave I've been
Oh, I held you oh so long

CHORUS
Oh, I'm going on, I held you oh so long
Oh, I'm going to other side of dawn
Oh, I'm going on like a hungry lion

But how strange, I felt empty, days didn't pass by
I missed you, felt helpless, I have to confess

CHORUS
Oh, I'm coming back 'coz I held you oh so long
Oh, I need you so, there's no point in pretending
Oh, I'm coming on, there's no hungry lion inside myself

04 Dedicated to the flyers

Go, go, go, move on!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, have fun!

Let's go, go, go, go, go, and have some fun!
All right? It's time to fight, so trust yourself!
Let's fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck for our fun!
We play rock'n'roll, better look at yourself!

CHORUS
Dedicated to the flyers
Who don't give fuck 'bout climbers
They just wanna live thru feelings
and that's sure a real good way to start
towards the paradise!

Go, go, go, run on! Fuck, fuck, fuck, move on!

Kiss my ass, kiss my song
Let's go (fuck!) all nite long!
It's only rock'n'roll, you'd better find it yourself!
There is no sense in this, no good advice
No real help for your stressCHORUS
Go, go, go, run on...

05 Lust of life

CHORUS
Go, everybody, go, to the lust of life!

Siting here on this side of the fence,
thought grass is greener on the other side
I thought I'd feel better here, but still it locks me down
I'm the worst invention in the whole history
Birds are shooting complicated series into my consciousness
At once I'm back in time when there was no order of geometric stress

CHORUS

Tired but happy I organize the world, trying to hear it louder
Let's go deeper into the world to live more for sight and sound
Many kinda robots are waiting for us to calculate our pride
Take me away, somewhere, anywhere, I'll be in and I will survive

Civilization?!

CHORUS

Life's so cruel, life's such a bitch, (but) still it's inviting us to play
There's many dangers against the humans, but we have decided me to step inside
But I smashed the mirror down (like Tommy did)
banging the doors behind

Civilization?!

06 Vogue

Note: intro not included

Strike a pose
Strike a pose
Vogue, vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue, vogue

Look around everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go [look around]
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know [life that you know]

When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for, so

Chorus:

Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music [move to the music]
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow [go with the flow]
You know you can do it

All you need is your own imagination
So use it that's what it's for [that's what it's for]
Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door [open up the door]

It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're a boy or a girl
If the music's pumping it will give you new life
You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it

(chorus, substituting "groove" for "move")

Beauty's where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life's a ball
So get up on the dance floor

(chorus)

Vogue, [Vogue]
Beauty's where you find it [move to the music]
Vogue, [Vogue]
Beauty's where you find it [go with the flow]

Greta Garbo, and Monroe
Deitrich and DiMaggio
Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean
On the cover of a magazine

Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
Ginger Rodgers, dance on air

They had style, they had grace
Rita Hayworth gave good face
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
Bette Davis, we love you

Ladies with an attitude
Fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

Vogue, vogue

Oooh, you've got to
Let your body move to the music
Oooh, you've got to just
Let your body go with the flow
Oooh, you've got to

Vogue

07 Till the music nation

An orphan child walks and sniffs the air
in an orphan forest
everybody seems to whip him badly
in this world of jelaousy
He's lost in the sea of tears and can't confess
that he still exists.
He walks alone, he's as weird as a stone:
He broke his needle and he can't crawl

(Love him!)

He writes poems on a little red sheet
showing'em to his granny (rest in peace)
he blows his mind, out in the fields, catching
just empty space

CHORUS
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride on to liberation
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride on to destination
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride to your own sensation
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Ride till the music nation comes!

He builds a heaven on the top of his room
forgetting the world outside
Then one prick comes, showing some interest, saying:

»I can make you a big star«
In his mind he climbs to the clouds, throwing
rotten flowers into the holes in the ground
So I ask: Who are you? Already leaving?
Isn't there any time...?

CHORUS
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Riding the liberation
Ride on - ride on - ride on - Riding the »satisfaction«
Ride on...

08 Fool's Gold

I am a tree with no leaves
I use her as much as she needs
How is my welfare and charm
Coldness pierces through to my thich

As always, shit happens
You'll always reap what you will sow
I panic, you don't
We silly people with wicked thoughts

How can I stand what I am
Struggle inside pushed into a can
Hatred!
(the love for my...) hatred!
(The shining of my...) hatred!
I'm torn everywhere

Another great feeling:
how I'll get you as fast as I can
You panic, I don't
It's only humanity I stream out

I don't wanna see you in my head
It's alright as long as you stay in bed
Rock me in your cradle to big sleep
Like a real man, I don't wanna weep

I have practised to raise a smile
That's how I can keep you in my pile
But still I'm only yours (when passing time)
(...doing time, doing mine, all mine.......it's all mine)

How is my welfare and charm
'coz I can't give no helping arm
Hatred!
(You're the screen of my...) hatred!
(You're the t(h)rashcan of my...) hatred!
C'mon baby get your share!

No panic, shit happens
You'll always reap what you will sow
You panic, me too
We silly people with wicked thoughts

09 You know better

I love the sound of dignity
I love to stand on my own two feet
I keep on watching the big sunset
You'd like to talk to me , but I won't let you, I bet

CHORUS
I know I love you - I know I hate you
I know I love you - I know I hate you (now)

I prefer to get cold in a hard rain
than to give anybody a chance to share my pain
I wanna feel the limits in my head
I wanna keep siting in the electric chair

CHORUS
I know I love you - I know I hate you
That's why I put my faith in you
You know better what you are!
I know I love you - I know I hate you...

I love the sound of dignity
I love to stand on my own two feet
Sometimes I'd like to change my way to go
to give my confession and feel my flow

CHORUS
I know I love you I know I hate you
That's why I leave it up to you
'coz you know better what you are!

10 DANCE ELECTRIC

I wanna go jo-jo underground
I wanna live for sight and sound
I wanna move towards the flow

Don't let me walk down
Please, don;t let dry out
Don't let walk down
I wanna spell your succes:
better to wind up yourself
to a vague ball of experience

Don't let me walk down
Don't let me go down
Hey baby let me fly high

CHORUS
I wanna dance
I wanna dance electric!

Better to really step outside
Better to look for bright colours
I wanna hear the metal sound!

You're not a dead body
Like us, everybody
Hey baby, gimme your noise!

CHORUS

11 JUKOLAUTA

This is the life of finnish man
when you're walking in winter snow
Your toes are icecold
You are what you are told

This is the life of a finnish man
See how they make you a man
You must stand quietly everything
You need a hard mind and body

12 DEATH PARTY

So c'mon join the party
for the things we don't like
So c'mon let's be boring, like we always try
This is our mega-culture,
this is our enjoying culture
(living inside)

We don't like to step outside
and glance under sand
'coz we might see the people,
reaching out their hands
but it's fucking culture: no-one can join the party

Death party

So let's make a decision and find the new vision
which is buried deep under the ground

We feel so confused
We don't know what to do
The old primitive man's hiding there still

Trash flash uniform...

Let's tear off this old uniform
Why can't we be what we are
Let's make a decision and find the new vision
which is buried deep under the ground

Trash flash uniform..

13 I'M A BELIEVER

You said today...
I'm a believer...!

14 FUCKADELICAN GARDEN

C'mon step into joy, this is our way
(and) we don't give a damn od what they'll say
We should stay in the light every single day
'coz we are the warriors that can never fade away

Psychedelican is always there
so is all kinds of stuff we'd like to share
People, let's ride on our wide smile
have a mosh and don't say goodbye to anything

15 WALTARI~LAPIO

You know all about flying, but don't tell me
all your wisdom
'coz just own imagination can throw us out of
deadly routine
Livin' in tha naughty city (without no heart),
blind
and mind full of emptiness
The long winter seems to fill your heart with
distrust and loneliness and cold

CHORUS
I wanna know where's the deepest sea
Tell me who you are, The Waltari!

Run with your flame into a big horizon
Fly with your thoughts above despair
Slow down with your lips in fast emotion
why can't we love fast in our heads

CHORUS
