you and I

i'm feeling distracted
and likewise attracted
to all the things that you let me know
all the things that you can't let go

you're waiting for friction
this empty addiction
is forcing me to intervene
let's break out of this scene

i know i am not alone
i am not the only one who is broken
and i know i'll never let you go
i could watch the world pass by
just as long as it's you and i
you and i

i watch you take over
i'll give you this offer
take my hand and we'll run away
leave behind our past to stay
decaying till it's rotten
and we'll have long forgotten
the memories that will haunt your heart
let's tear this town apart

i know i am not alone
i am not the only one who is broken
and i know i'll never let you go
i could watch the world pass by
just as long as it's you and i
you and i

we watched the world go by
(but if it's you and i)
then we will never die
(no we can never die)
we watch the world go by
but if it's you and i
then we will never die

i know i am not alone
i am not the only one who is broken
and i know i'll never let you go
i could watch the world pass by
just as long as it's you and i
you and i

i know i am not alone
i am not the only one who is broken
and i know i'll never let you go
i could watch the world pass by
just as long as it's you and i
you and i...

Hanya Ada di Indonesia

SEBUAH bank swasta bangkrut lalu ditalangi negara, membanjirlah uang itu entah kemana berhentinya
Dan kami tak tahu kemana lagi mencari uang kami
Sebuah kepulauan yang dikurung kepung gelombang berkali-kali digoyang gempa dan dilindas tsunami,
Dan kami tak mau kalah, pasrah pada bencana ini...
Sebuah gunung yang mengandung api di namanya meletuskan tenaga 600 bom atom di Hiroshima
Dan kami tak pernah menyerah pada apa-apa...
Sebuah gunung yang menampung lava di perutnya tak berhenti muntah api lebih 120 jam lamanya,
Dan kami tak akan berhenti mempertahankan diri...
Sebuah gunung yang dijaga lelaki tua, lelaki yang ditunjuk atas titah seorang sultan, dan dia mati dalam asap panas gunung yang ia jaga
Dan padanya kami belajar ikhlas pada tugas...
Sebuah penjara, yang petugasnya miskin dan murah dibeli, agar meloloskan perampok pajak negara
Dan kami tak tahu harus marah kepada siapa...
Sebuah penjara, yang pintunya sengaja tak dikunci melenggang maling uang negeri nonton tenis di Bali
Dan kami tak tahu harus percaya kepada siapa...
Seorang presiden tamu negara, ia yang dulu pernah sebentar saja bersekolah di sini, mengenang enaknya bakso dan sate, emping dan nasi goreng, tapi dia justru lebih membanggakan kami dibanding presiden yang kami pilih sendiri, yang sibuk dengan diri sendiri
Dan kami tak tahu harus malu kepada siapa...

rhytm of love

my head is stuck in the clouds
she begs me to come down
says, "boy, quit foolin' around"
i told her, "i love the view from up here
warm sun and wind in my ear
we'll watch the world from above
as it turns to the rhythm of love"

we may only have tonight
but till the morning sun, you're mine
all mine
play the music low
and sway to the rhythm of love

my heart beats like a drum
a guitar string to the strum
a beautiful song to be sung
she's got blue eyes deep like the sea
that roll back when she's laughing at me
she rises up like the tide
the moment her lips meet mine

we may only have tonight
but till the morning sun, you're mine
all mine
play the music low
and sway to the rhythm of love

when the moon is low
we can dance in slow motion
and all your tears will subside
all your tears will dry

and long after i've gone
you'll still be humming along
and i will keep you in my mind
the way you make love so fine

we may only have tonight
but till the morning sun, you're mine
all mine
play the music low
and sway to the rhythm of love
play the music low
and sway to the rhythm of love
yeah, sway to the rhythm of love

negeri impian

alkisah sebuah negeri di jaman prasasti
yang dulu hijau makmur gemah ripah loh jinawi
namun tiba-tiba datang raksasa sakti
menghancurkan negeri adu domba sana sini
raksasa tertawa.. ha ha ha ha ha ha
gembira karena membuat orang-orang menjadi sengsara
rakyatpun menangis hi hi hi hi hi hi
satria bertikai membela diri dan golongannya sendiri
adakah negeri impian
negeri hayalan
negeri yang ku dambakan
di sana tak ada perang
dan kejahatan
rakyatnya aman dan tentram
menyenangkan.. mengasyikkan ow o
menyenangkan.. mengasyikkan ow o
nafsu serakah raksasa smakin menjadi
tiga kali sehari dia minta upeti
hooow raksasa tertawa
perut buncit kayak demit
bikin lari terbirit-birit
