Full power in my black machine Can’t count the places where I’ve been Can’t count the ladies I’ve seen Riding on my black machine But that bad little woman She don’t wanna ride Oh no Great tires in my black machine Double smokestack, loud and mean Can’t count the places I’ve seen Riding on my black machine But that bad little woman She don’t wanna ride Oh no Can’t count the ladies I’ve seen Riding on my black my machine But that bad little woman She don’t wanna ride But that bad little woman She don’t wanna ride She don’t wanna ride She don’t wanna ride… …with me on my black machine…

They say that life is just a game The rules aren't changing, life goes the same They say they know the universal truth: "Your life is wasted when it belongs to you" But I have seen right thru their lies I wanna spread truth till the day I die What kind of person do you think I am A mortal scum or a superman? Life is changing every single day Every entity goes its own way Everybody has a right to decide What to do, how to spend his life We all need freedom, we all need peace We all need harmony to live The closeness of the universes void Made us free, love we can't avoid And we wanna stay in its sacred rays Far away from the destiny’s games What kind of men do you think we are Tomorrow's children or the shooting stars? I am changing every single day One virtue appears, the other goes away We all are kinda shooting stars Though we spend our lives behind the bars

Megalopolis 03:51
I walk thru a thousand billion empty streets I see the brain police protecting peace So many people walk just to reach their job I feel so insecure in this chromium mob This city covers entire planets Concrete is the master and the judge Cut out all the freedom flowers We’re all turned into serving cogs In this megalopolis

Bloody altars of the western world Crumble down to the sound of my chords Vagabonds of time and space We came to save this human race Bloody altars of the western world Made a promise I just have to keep I’m the murderer of your cities And I am back on metal streets Bloody altars of the western world Teenage victims made a sacrifice I ain’t no priest I ain’t no law I am Me and I roll the dice What will be well it must have been Here’s your promise, have you seen? The ways of the Sky are cut by the Sword The altars crumble to the sound of my chords

Eye See Eye 04:47
No other way You show the only direction No other way You say it’s for our protection No other mind You say your mind’s perfection No other soul You don’t need no manifestations I see a lie Where you see evolution You want a war I want a revolution No other sky You’ll never let us fly No other voice We must live in your lies No other style No other way of life No other way to spend Our time the way we like I see the rust You see some gleaming steel You say you'll never fall So let us have a deal

All of the lies you made me Think they were true, and lady Kisses of gold would save me That's what you said Take back the gifts you gave me Dust back the road you paved me Get back, you won't enslave me Now that I'm dead Same old lies you're telling me You told everybody else Same old ties you've tied me with You used back down in hell Everybody knows the means you use Dealing with your fools Milkshake queen of vaults obscene You're playing by my rules For fools For fools Yeah, fools All of the rings I bought you Thinking their sparkle bought you Sitting here dreaming of you All of the time Clean up the house I built you Keep up the flame that fuels you Blow up the stones that gild you Waiting in line Same old lies you're telling me You told everybody else Same old ties you've tied me with You used back down in hell Everybody knows the means you use Dealing with your fools Milkshake queen of vaults obscene You're playing by my rules For fools For fools

Concrete streets so hot on a summer day I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone Neon fire gleams so bright I look at neons Flashing zone flashing zone flashing zone It feels like the sun, I feel like everyone But it’s midnight and we ain’t everyone I’m sunbursts at midnight hour as my Bible I devoured Take another little tab and we’ll all be glad It feels like the sun, I feel like everyone But it’s midnight and we ain’t everyone I’m sunbursts at midnight hour As my Bible I devoured As my Bible I devoured As my Bible I devoured Take another little tab and we’ll all turn glad As my Bible I devoured and the table I have soured I’m sunbursts at midnight hour As my Bible I devoured As my Bible I devoured As my Bible I devoured

It's been sold to the highest Buddha It's been told to the east oracle It's been shown in Tibetan temples Of celestial mind and miracles That I'm the only one You go and fuck yourself I'll press the button And the force will smash your face God fights god in the west God fights god in the east God is a beast, a beast, a beast You wear a crown of thorns And you carry a wooden load You're just so sick But you act like the son of the lord You think that you were made To tell us what to do But think about it honestly now Who's gonna listen to you Yeah, I'm the only one You go and fuck yourself I'll press the button And the force will smash your face God fights god in the north God fights god in the south God is in and god is out, is out

Be prepared for a new messiah Watch the skies each day Check upon all constellations And watch the starry ways Soon you'll see the sign and laugh You'll be insanity You'll forget all logic and sense All serenity You'll laugh to the sky You'll scream "I don't wanna die" You'll wait for a child to be born Under the sign of the unicorn Be prepared for a new messiah Watch the skies each day Check upon all constellations And watch the starry ways Waiting for a child to be born Under the sign of the unicorn You'll laugh to the sky You'll scream "I don't wanna die" You'll wait for a child to be born Under the sign of the unicorn It’s the sign of the unicorn It’s the sign for you It’s the sign of the unicorn It’s the sign for you

Time to go to the show Use your head, sail your boat Time to see, time to act Use your fuel, feed the fact How many more of the raincoat people How many more of a reason inside How many stones on the road to nowhere How many ways to die How many ways to die Time to stop, time to know Use your shovel, then use the door Time to print another shirt Time to sink just like dirt Open up your sister, here comes the drill Open up minister, gotta face the kill Open up your sister, here comes the drill Never worry baby, just do what you feel So come on over darling, help me pass the time Another line of feeling all is going fine You never realize or wonder what's to do Another golden pass is staring into you Yeah you Fluorescent, he has no taste He has no smell, so cut the chase Crack the nut, free the bird Time flows on, life is birth

about

"Two Friends" tells the story of 2 teenage friends living in the Górczyn high rise. They form a band and start playing psychedelic rock'n'roll in Górczyn. They meet other musicians, other teenage friends, write songs together, and have fun in the library, where great old science-fiction books can be found. They also smoke, drink lots of beer and cheap wine and listen to old hard rock bands and Polish punk. They live in an utopia, until it's time to graduate high school and grow up. Their ways part, but both friends still play music - one is an underground musician and poet, and the other a bass teacher. Perhaps they will reunite one day to return to those teenage trips and dreams of fragile Górczyn minds on alcohol, weed, sci-fi and music. It's been 20 years since they started playing together!

Justin's artwork is based on an original photo of me and Mati from the Górczyn high rise days. I want to especially thank Justin Jackley for the album artwork, which I think fits the music perfectly.

This album is dedicated to the memory of my Grandma Barbara (1938-2021), and Burke Shelley of Budgie (1950-2022). Budgie was a very important band in the Górczyn high rise. I still have cassettes with their classic albums on them... and my Grandma lived in Górczyn, and in her apartment the "Two Friends" had their first rehearsals...

Górczyn forever, 20 years gone - 2002-2022.

"Górczyn is a residential area that has playgrounds and tranquil parks with bike-friendly roads. Park Górczyński w Poznaniu features paved walkways, while Baczkowski Pond has scenic vistas. Along bustling Głogowska Street, businesses and casual eateries draw crowds, and to the south Christ the King in Poznań church has striking stained-glass windows." ― Google
