chased by the street, try not to breathe
while rushing by, try not to read
the latest truth off a tv screen
our planet seethes of selfish deed
but no one seems really nervous
i bite my tongue, try not to bleed
i bite my teeth, try not to scream
stop at a shop for smokes ‘n’ sweets
for that‘s the shit i really need
or i‘ll become really nervous
another ruler broke the rules
another killer in the news
the rich may live their dreams of youth
while countless chew on their last tooth
life‘s passing by in the speed of dreams
like it mimes the countless screens
that seem to be followin’ me
i got no choice not to join the stream
and become one of the careless
another ruler broke the rules
another killer in the news
our success tastes like failure
and we don‘ learn to lose
yeah another ruler broke the rules
another killer in the news
and all this repetition
yeah all this repetition
won’t make it true

oh pale shadow of a man
tryin’ his best to get his share
boy don’t you understand
you’re goin’ down down down down down
a one way tram
oh pale shadow of a man
come on tell me once again
try an’ make me understand
how great great great it is
what you have or can
oh pale shadow of a man
try and impress the best he can
boy don’t you understand
all you need need need has always been
in your hand
in your hand
in your hand
in your hand

Why I Play The Blues

when i went home last night, saw the devil walkin’, walkin’ by my side
yeah i went home last night, saw the devil walkin’, walkin’ by my side
when i shut my front door, he must’ve slipped inside
when i went home last night, felt so weary, felt so tired
yeah i went home last night, saw the devil walkin’, walkin’ by my side
i thought the wine had fooled my eyes, now i know, i know that i was right
‘cause when I woke up this mornin’ felt something heavy on my chest
oh I woke up this mornin’, felt something heavy sittin’ on my chest
it was the devil with a grin and his name was selfishness
now i'm strollin’ ‘round baby, ‘strollin’ round - lookin’ for your window
yeah im strollin’ ‘round baby, ‘strollin’ round - lookin’ for an open door
but anywhere i go baby, see the devil ‘s been there, been there before
we needa shake off the devil, baby, he’ll make you tie, tie the noose
we needa shake off the devil, baby, or you can only, only lose
shake, shake off the devil, baby - that’s why, why i play the blues

Stranger

i’m a stranger, babe, a stranger to the men
i’m a stranger, babe, a stranger to the land
show me, show me the wild
show me a life with the mind of a child
i’m a stranger, babe, strange to anybody else
i’m a stranger, babe, a stranger to myself
show me, show me the wild
show me a life with the mind of a child
show me, show me the wild
show me a life with the mind of a child
so I’ll show you what’s mine
deep down inside
oh I’ll show you what’s mine
deep down inside

Safe & Sound
06:57

i wear my face like a crown
while i, while i feel it raining inside
and sometimes, sometimes
all the colors leave me blind
and sometimes i wonder why
wonder why it’s so hard to smile
i wear my skin when i’m ’round town
and grasp for breath like i could drown
my mind at war, you see me frown
but in the clouds i am safe and sound
i wear my face like a crown
while i, while i feel it raining inside
and sometimes, sometimes
sometimes i wonder why
it’s so hard, so hard for me to smile
i know there’s love though there’s no proof
show me the difference between me and you
and tell me is this real or just a dream?
tell me is this real or is it just a dream?

Samsara Joyride Vienna, Austria
What started at the beginning of 2020 with spontaneous jam sessions in a Viennese living room led within a few months into the locally produced “Stranger” EP. And those kindred spirits who soon agreed on the band name SAMSARA JOYRIDE continued to relish their melange between heavy-blooded seventies blues rock and the bone-dry psychedelic sounds of the 1990s. ... more
