You came to me, and you took me to you You said: Nothing stays in the same place You came to me, on a motorcyle devoid of color You said: Come here, baby, let us fly to another place, Another place in the heart. You came to me, from desert sand dunes You said: This entire city, it's so strange to me. For nothing stays in the same place Come, baby, and we will fly into a dream. Chorus: You came to me, and you took me to you You said: Nothing Stays in one place Stays in one place Come to me Open to me Open to me now Because nothing Stays in one place Stays in one place A black motorcycle, and a blue rock-n-roll jacket, The remains of a place I was almost in Come, baby, we will tear up the night together For nothing stays in the same place. Chorus Come to me And take me Yes take me from here Because nothing Stays in one place Stays in one place
Take me with you across the the hills of light Neon lights glow there all the time Take me with you across the black border To a place where they tell lies all the time People play there People rebel there Raise there, rebel there All the time Poker in the morning Don't forget me across wandering sands In the place where they lie all the time Don't forget me Across the black border Neon glows there all the time I'll learn to fit in there To play a poker face Just take me to you Across the black border We crossed it long ago Poker in the morning, in the morning
Shooting and Crying (Yorim UBochim)

Lyrics and Music: Si Hi-Man
Perfromed by Si Hi-Man and the Local Band (1988)
The street cleaner told me
That in his village everything had changed.
Life seems different in the shadow of the filth
And in my house, the window is broken
Tel-Aviv bursts into me
Even its smell has changed -- I sense danger.
Boys play with lead,
Girls with dolls of steel.
Life seems different to me in the shadow of the filth
It doesn't matter to me at all
Who will win this time.
The world that I had is no more
And the great light has been extinguished.
Boys play with lead...
Chorus:
Shooting and crying
Burning and laughing
When did we learn how to bury living people?
Shooting and crying
Burning and laughing
When did we forget that they also killed children for us?
At home in the city everything is different
Wrapped in cellophane, tied to the ground
I wait for the train
How long will I wait to see what will happen?
Until when will we wait and cry over what is happening
On both sides, people just want to live
With this great fear it's impossible to see a thing
We want shelter from the struggle
It so doesn't matter to me who is the stronger.
Chorus
Near the Edge (karov la-katseh)

Lyrics and music: Si Hi-man
In the midst of life, someone touched you
Mixed everything up, like in the beginning
Now you find yourself in uncertainty
Sure of loss, pursued by loneliness
Don't despair, don't be broken, what are you asking for?
Don't despair, don't be broken, what are you looking for?
In the midst of life, I fear the end
I know that now's the time, I say I'll change
I was silent until today, I was afraid to awaken
All my fears, all that angered me
Don't despair, don't be broken, what are you asking for?
Don't despair, don't be broken, what are you looking for?
Because you're close to the edge, you have to decide
What do you want?
Give me room, let me breathe
Give me another day
Give me room, we've endured so much, let me breathe.
Like a bird in a cage
I didn't know how to caress
And someone touched you, helped you to get out
Now I find myself, in the midst of the fears
Perhaps far from here there will be beautiful days.
