“You come to visit” lyrics by Mashina

From a distant star many light years away
from erased time
you come to visit, you come to visit

on that decending street
you take me downhill with you
high in the sky

Michael Benson - Bass

It’s dusty on the ground (also means: your father is on the ground or here)
so take me to the bottom
the highest I can climb
wild to the end, wild to the end
you liked the sharp edge
wanted my heart to shiver
wild as your heart, wild as your heart
so take me to the bottom, the highest I can climb
wild to the end, wild to the end

Shlomi Bracha - Electric Guitar

the sun colided with the sea
a flash of you and me
maybe tomorrow we’ll meet
like 2 stones rolling on a street

“So why do I need politics now?” Lyrics by Mashina.

Thousands of mercenaries gather in a mosque
talking about me, but not with me
cousin of my neighbor talked to
the assistant battalion commander (abc)
so says the wife of my sister’s son
ohh my sister, my sister..

Iggi Dayan - Drums

Coriander & parsley meet in the dark
to discuss the current situation
and In NY a new disease was invented
and one man claims to be my brother
ohh my brother, my brother…

I lied when I said everything is wonderful

cause nothing was true at all
and our ball that turned into square
is now in denial
I’m in the rock & roll business…

Avner Hodorov - Keyboards, Sax, Acordion

In San Francisco the bridges need some healing
and in Russia another train crashed
the mass broke the wall in Berlin
and all you and me can do is hope
oh hope… oh hope…

why a stone in Ramallah diverts it’s course,
of course ,you and me are seating
in a cardboard box
I’m singing and you dance in the middle

so why do I need politics now?
