Bunch of Cannoli 03:19
lyrics
She cooks cannelloni and they laugh at each other faces. (Yeah) They look through the window and guffaw at the lazy neighbour. (Oh oh) And they thrash about and fall down the hill of the park. They gape at the shiny colors of the fish in the pond. Close, close, close, close to midnight... She puts on her t-shirt and they go to the party places. (Yeah) They smoke marijuana and feel like they're getting crazy. (Oh oh) And as soon they have the munchies they go back to her house with a big bunch of cannoli and bags under their eyes. Close, close, close, close to sunrise...

Earrings 03:09
lyrics
I like your translucent heart shaped earrings, earrings. I like how they look on you. Shining, shining. They make you look like a star. Splendid, splendid. I like your amazing skin touching my skin. Even though you can't stop complaining about summer heat... I love you.

Washing Dishes 01:41
lyrics
Washing dishes early in the morning. Life is crazy, that's all... Watching TV and singing silly good songs. That's the meaning of love... Let me tell you, in the morning life is good. Let me tell you, in the morning life is good! Let me tell you something more, once the Saturday has come all the preoccupation's out of me. Let me tell you something more, once the Saturday has come all the happiness comes to me.

Dragon Flame 02:34
lyrics
The fast and distant run of the ostriches is happening right now, and not far away. The sleeping beauties are coming, and the sun is rising in the morning above living songs. Living songs and colorful water created for the world. Scratching walls and looking for another view of the same floor. Among us flies a dragon flame. Among us it flies, far away.
5.
City/Town 02:13
lyrics
Time goes by staring at her picture. She's not around. This place is boring and I want her back! I'm stone broke. I'm waiting for her call. I'm so sad. The city is far and I'm still in town!
