Good morning dog world
Dustin Ripof here
A flying hound over there:
the best news you've ever heard
So ask me anything
You echo my irrelevance
You're barking at my fence
It’s just how I'm feeling
Running. Grinning. Hiding my face.
'Cause it's dog-
It's just dog news
Good evening dog world
Walk with me once again
The kindest you've ever been:
in sunshine and emerald
When our lives of simple cares
were silently lingering
I'd give you anything
to bring back those bright years
Running. Grinning. Hiding my face.
'Cause it's dog-
It's just dog news
'Cause it's dog news for the living
More taking then giving

Heliodor in My Pocket

First you said we'd only just begun
Then we set out to extinguish the Sun:
it was a lot of fun
But back home you were nowhere to be found
putting out the Sun must have worn you out
there's no doubt
I want the world to stay in bed today
I'd wander 'round the squares without a care
noone's there
I'd meet you in a pub, ask why you're late?
"I saved some of the Sun" – I'd hear you say
What a day!
(What a day!)
"But we can't make out this world without a light"
and so you disappeared which gave me such a fright:
out of sight
Now the Sun's back up and your last gift's in my hands
a heliodor in the pocket of my pants:
Who understand?
Who understands?
Who understands?

Train ghosts entering my head
Train ghosts circling my bed
On a winter's cold and golden street
Trains just beat and beat beneath my feet
And in circles go the tracks
'Cause we'll leave again
We'll see them again
Dear friends! This empty carriage here
is warm enough, warm enough I feel
I'll travel down, travel down to you
but I have no car, so my ghost trains should do
But in circles go the tracks
We'll leave again
We'll see them again
Empty seats and watchful eyes
Ghost-conductors tell no lies
Now I keep quiet as a mouse
at the ghost station near Jacquelin's house
Watchful eyes and empty seats
Ghost-engines ride through my dreams
Where I remain and all else dies:
at the ghost station near Jacquelin's house
'Cause we'll leave again
We'll see them again

Ripof Blues

Rip me off baby and help me forget
this imaginary music so loud in my head
rip off the sounds that you always adored
cause nobody cares anymore
Rip me off baby 'cause it's always a laugh
when imaginary people don't make a sound
rip off the tunes that once made you dance:
nobody cares for romance
Rip me off baby and turn down the noise
imagine us a place with smart girls and boys
then play them a song that we ripped off before
'cause nobody cares anymore
Nobody cares anymore.

Winter Solstice in Kiev
04:25

Close the windows now
Kiss - don't tell me why
We're liars, frauds and thieves
We're brawlers who refuse to leave
She made a snapshot of all she had
On the winter solstice in Kiev
The longer the night the longer the sleep
So slumber well, slumber long and deep
You'll slumber well, slumber long and deep
We'll slumber well, slumber long and deep
