Whiskey Bar 03:25
Whiskey Bar (Chris Padera) Helplessly surrounded by strangers in a strange city I feel alive but I am close to death My closest friend has left The doors are looked I tear them down Because now I just want a drink One shot left five more to go Surveillance I have lost On my way to the Whiskey Bar On my way to the heaven above On my way to the Whiskey Bar On my way to the heaven above Volume up I shout out loud Because now I just want to dance Hey litte girl don’t you want to be my mistress for the night And she came She came over to me and she yelled You are a lush now turn around Your breath smells like a cow So I stopped for one more drink to where I am welcome On my way to the Whiskey Bar On my way to the heaven above On my way to the Whiskey Bar On my way to the heaven above I am drunk and I feel alright I think I lost my way I am drunk and I feel ok I am on my way back home Back home Back home On my way to the Whiskey Bar On my way to the Whiskey Bar On my way to the heaven above

Barcelona 03:25
Barcelona (Chris Padera) 08001 is where I lived in el Raval Where the big steel cat greeted every day I touched its nose not the shiny balls My mind supersitious asked for joy This is what I found in my barrio With Mary Jane and an absinth down Happiness en el Doctor Dou Beware of the dark when the hookers rob On the way down the Ramblas or in el Gotico Too many nights dirty as beautiful I lost myself on Plaza Reial Oh Barcelona my ciudad my amor mi vida I’d like to stay forever in the city of Barcelona Oh Barcelona my ciudad my amor mi vida I’d like to stay forever in the city of Barcelona I sat down at the beach and I stared at the stars With an Estrella in my hand and a crappy guitar Walked up to the Bunkers of el Carmel To watch the sun go down and I still pretend That the sun will always shine In the city that I love The girls, the wine, the nights I had I lived a life I won’t regret A dream came true when Messi played Dancing in the streets of el Raval Oh Barcelona my ciudad my amor mi vida I’d like to stay forever in the city of Barcelona Oh Barcelona my ciudad my amor mi vida I’d like to stay forever in the city of Barcelona One rainy morning my head aches I’m wide awake Blurry pictures on the wall I realized the dream I lived has found an end Oh Barcelona I will return I promise to Oh Barcelona my ciudad my amor mi vida Te quiero hasta siempre mi querida Barcelona Oh Barcelona my ciudad my amor mi vida I’d like to stay forever in the city of Barcelona

True Ones 04:16
True Ones (Chris Padera) Six long years, well I've been taking my time Some might say I'm old, but I'm still young in mind Many new friends I have met, many old friends I have lost But the true ones are always by my side In times when I was struggling I hit the railroads hard Into blackouts I was drinking, oh my world it has turned dark In excess, what a moron, the drugs (that) kept me high I beg pardon in humility, oh man, I was a fool I beg pardon once again for one last time One more year, well I lost track of time Trouble wheighs a ton, but I left (the) trouble minds behind Many places I have been, many new folks I have seen. But the true/only ones to stay are hard to find The fights that I was fighting left my broken on the ground In times of desperation, I surrender, lost my will. A refugee of my own world, a prisoner of my soul I berdon in humility, oh man, I was a fool I beg pardon once again for one last time Some say it's waste of life, for me it's live in style As long as I can count on you My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth The one who understands the way My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth The one who understands the way Six long years, well I've been taking my time Some might say I'm old, but I'm still young in mind Many new friends I have met, many old friends I have lost But the true ones are always by my side In times when I was struggling I hit the railroads hard Into blackouts I was drinking, oh my world it has turned dark In excess, what a moron, the drugs (that) kept me high I beg pardon in humility, oh man, I was a fool I beg pardon once again for one last time Some say it's waste of life, for me it's live in style As long as I can count on you My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth The one who understands the way My dearest enemy, my closest friend on earth

Insignificance (Chris Padera) Roaming around in vague city lights I'm just a little fish in the sea and I can't find The reef I am searching for the warmth in your arms Cold as the night, I will stray if you don't mind But I ask myself Is it worth all the time The effort, the pain, the fear in my eyes Once I am with you I will lose you in a while To another man or to the time that goes by I'd rather be dead than wait for the end Shot in the face, nice cover for a metal band She said: „Please calm down, let's pretend to be friends Not lover, not haters, but true“ Truth is, I wanna shout out loud The insignificance of my small world Truth is, I wanna cry out loud I love you like I never loved before Desperate as I am I am fooling around Longing for something I could never reach (I) get involve with someone of my own nest It feels kind of wrong as I'm betraying myself Desperate as I am I am fooling around Longing for something I could never reach (I) get involve with someone of my own nest As history is written in the walls we have left Truth is, I wanna shout out loud The insignificance of my small world Truth is, I wanna cry out loud I love you like I never loved before Maybe this could be the last time we're together I am only asking for a smile Maybe this could be the last time we're together So I hope, that you will be listening Truth is, I wanna shout out loud The insignificance of my small world Truth is, I wanna cry out loud I love you like I never loved before I love you like I never loved before I will love you like I never loved before

Confessions of a Sinner (Chris Padera) I exhale the grief that was a burden to me All the demons that strained my soul I was running away from all the consequences For every action I have done And for the first time of my life I know that I was wrong I was bragging about all the girls I had Every trick that I have land I took a step to far from this honest part Just losing myself in these lies And for the first time of my life I know that I was wrong And for the first time of my life I know that I should change What goes around always comes around Be a wise man when you choose As a selfish man I have always been to the very top of this world But the fall is always hard when you are alone I stole, I stole so many things So many that I can't count Another broken heart, another world apart With luck on my side I was free (of charge) And for the first time of my life I know that I was wrong And for the first time of my life I know that I should change What goes around always comes around Be a wise man when you choose As a selfish man I have always been to the very top of this world But the fall is always hard when you are alone Oh I beg and scream forgive my please For all the sins that I commited Compassion I will try to have For redemption I confess And for the first time of my life I know that I was wrong And for the first time of my life I know that I should change What goes around always comes around Be a wise man when you choose As a selfish man I have always been to the very top of this world But the fall is always hard when you are alone But the fall is always hard when you are alone But the fall is always hard When you are alone
