in ogni luogo, in ogni tempo
the ghost in the shell
music: tommasi
lyrics: tommasi
A car is running on the highway
there’s a red cloud, it’s the end of a day
there’s a girl, she will not rest tonight
still she’s got no one to hold tight
Looking down at the city and its wideness
you will hear a thousand silent noises
look at all those distant faraway lights
they seem to glance like a moltitude of eyes.
Sitting alone on a boat through the night
dive in to the sea of conscience
let your thoughts deal with reminiscience
and you’re lost by now out of sight
She seems to speak with her eyes to the sky
no man exhists who will see bullets fly
but with these eyes I have seen my being
I’ve flown through my ghost and now I know I’m living.
I’m living - doesn’t matter what you say
I’m living - I know I shall die one day
if only I could run faster
“don’t let’em ring the bell”
if I could just have no masters
“don’t let’em break the shell”
(I would give to the wind all my poems and the dreams)
(and then have them back again enlighted with the new beams)
Merging in the alleys of your telematic mum
sense what it means to be part of the whole
and if it’s too late for playing a role
find some distant place where you may roam
Now tell me sweet child of another god
are you leaving from the land of nod?
I shall come through with you, I believe that you’re alive
a living memory hanging on changing tides.
I’m living - doesn’t matter what you say
I’m living - I know I shall die one day
if only I could run faster
“don’t let’em ring the bell”
if I could just have no masters
“don’t let’em break the shell”
Gaze for the truth from the top of a hill
playing like a child with a firefly
this is the net, it’s endless and wide
move to stand still.
