European Sky



European Sky

Music & Lyrics: Walser in the Snow
Pictures: Amor pedestre (1914)

time goes by so slowly and fine
but i see a darkness in the sun
a stain in the european sky

life may bite so deeply sometimes
but there is no wound i can’t survive
counting my little sins at night

don’t you worry baby
please don’t cry
pain is over everything’s alright
until the sun will shine

sun is bright everything’s bathing in light
but i see a shadow passing by
a crack in the european sky

don’t you worry baby
please don’t cry
pain is over everything’s alright.

Walser in the Snow



Walser in the Snow
Music & Lyrics: Walser in the Snow 
Pictures: Carnival of Souls (1962)

when i’m walking down the street
with a cigarette and a grin
it’s pretty clear that nobody likes me
but this comes as no surprise
and i have no alibis
it’s pretty clear that nobody’s like me
but if you really want to know
why we’re special and you’re not

spending sunny days at work
don’t you think it’s quite absurd
just because they give you the money
dating girls and having sex
doing drugs and drink to death
that is how you get the word funny
but if you really want to know
why we live and why you don’t

so everywhere i go
i see walser in the snow
a poet in the mud while all the people come and go
walser in the snow
such a weird way to glow
and that’s why we insist, yes we insist it’s not a show
not a show

when i’m walking down the street
with a cigarette and a grin
it’s pretty clear that nobody likes me
but this comes as no surprise
and i have no alibis
it’s pretty clear that nobody’s like me
but if you really want to know
why we’re special and you’re not

so everywhere i go
i see walser in the snow
a poet in the mud while all the people come and go
walser in the snow
such a weird way to glow
and that’s why we insist, yes we insist it’s not a show
not a show
not at all

this is not a show
this is not a show
this is not a show
this is not a show
not a show, not a show

Self Parade



Self Parade
Music & Lyrics: Walser in the Snow

don’t know what i want
don’t know what i feel

don’t know what i’ve got

i – don’t – know
i don’t know – i don’t know – i don’t know
but i want
but i feel
but i’ve got

don’t know what i want
don’t know what i feel
don’t know who i am
don’t know what i’ve got

i – don’t – know
i don’t know – i don’t know – i don’t know
but i want
but i feel
but i’ve got
woooo

i don’t know why i feel this way (4x)

Thinman


Thinman
Music & Lyrics: Walser in the Snow
Pictures: Serpentine Dance (various sources, 1895-1896)

i wish i was a thin man
i wish i was so slim i could disappear through thin air
i wish i had no story
if i could lose my weight probably you won’t ignore me

leaving my body here
leaving it up to you
you pretty little monster
with your brand new outfit
leaving my body here
leaving it up to you
you dirty little monster
with your shiny outfit

i wish i was a blue fish
i wish that i could float underwater like a snowflake
i wish i was a sea stone
i wish i could rest on the bottom and be silent

leaving my body here
leaving it up to you
you pretty little monster
with your tiny outfit
leaving my body here
leaving it up to you
this dirty little monster
you made me so ashame of

that i can’t live again (4x)

The Fine Art of Hating People



The Fine Art of Hating People
Music & Lyrics: Walser in the Snow
Pictures: House on Haunted Hill (1959)

dear ladies and gentlemen,
we're sorry to inform you
that your smile is not allowed in this area

please stand up
attention
it’s a communication
it’s urgent
it’s serious
we know you're pretty curious

everytime i see you i feel blue
all i want is trying something new

it’s not that
i hate you
it’s just that i can’t stand you
predictable
and boring
your words just keep me yawning

everytime i see you i feel blue
don’t you know we’re trying something new

the fine art of hating people
the fine art of hating people
the fine art of hating people
( hating people )

dear ladies and gentlemen
walser in the snow have just left the building
the people you see on stage
are just smiling masks with nothing in it

i can’t stand you
i can’t stand you
i can’t stand you
NO!

Temporary


Temporary
Lyrics: Walser in the Snow
Music: Sir Paul McCartney

dear mr. god
would you tell me quick
what’s it all about
‘cause i’m feeling sick
i’m getting old
or so i’m told
and if that’s a joke
it won’t last for long

temporary, temporary
a summer shower, it’ so scary
temporary, temporary
like a flower in january

dear mr. god
i do love you too
but i need to know
just a thing or two
we all love
and we all fight
but it doesn’t make sense if we’re all going to die

temporary, temporary
a summer shower, it’ so scary
temporary, temporary
like a flower in january

life is good, it’s understood, we sent a man up to the moon
date a girl, after school, try to marry her in june
everything will work out fine, all we need’s a little time
all my life is oh so scary ‘cause we are so temporary, temporary, temporary...

dear mr. god
would you tell me quick
what’s it all about
‘cause I’m feeling sick
i’m getting old
or so i’m told
and if that’s a joke
it won’t last for long

temporary, temporary
a summer shower, it’ so scary
temporary, temporary
like a flower in january
