Groanie Boys 02:39
There's a place where all the cool kids go It's in the country and it's just out of town There's some black magic going on in the woods And the cops are never hanging around The sunday people hanging out in the sun And the dealers selling stuff by the pond Don't tell your mama if you're coming with us 'Cause we'll be stealing bikes and ride to the farm There's a place where all the cool kids go It's where the mobsters used to bury the dead It's where the kids sometimes are raving at night It's where the aeroplanes fly over your head The shady people hiding into the woods Peeping on couples, masturbating on porn Don't tell your mama if you're coming with us We'll hunt for dirty magazines in the corn You'll find us sneaking by the tracks Where the night train rolls We're on a sacred mission To find the secret place, where the green grass grows Groanie Boys They grew up in the wild Throwing molotovs in the canal Groanie Boys City kids from the 'burbs But all in all they were just having some fun Groanie Boys In the abandoned house And the drunkard hobo screaming at us (leg it!) Groanie Boys But it's no fairy tale Now one's a junkie and another's in jail

Greenland 04:07
[the children] Going for a fun day out at Greenland So many wonders, people to be found And it's just around the corner We're so determined to be happy And nothing ever will destroy our dream We're pretty sure we will be happy [the man] Once upon a time a man came riding west Just another immigrant, but had a plan he made a fortune he bought land His fellow villagers all came round He built a factory and a church and a school And then he gave us something real cool [the kids] Like a jewel hidden in the park Shining like a national guitar It's been the land of our dreams Ever since we were little kids And no one's going to make us change our minds We're talking some place out of spacetime Now the day's gone we don't wanna go back home Everything's now shut down, we feel so alone in Greenland And it all looks kind of sad And it all looks like this story never happened And it feels just as if we Were looking at a cemetery And it's true we were never that far from home And it's true we would die just to be once more in Greenland And it all looks kind of sad And it all looks like this story never happened And it all looks kind of weird As we head back to our own graves
