S The Player 03:52
I know this time he will help me to learn. I know this time he will show me the way to recognize the truth. To carry myself in a world without you. I know his name. It begins with an S. Angels wants you to fade. They 're here to stand in your way. I know his game. He's pretending to bless. To help and to caress but it's only a game -- I didn't know I was playing- and I'm only the player.

Soon this lie will be accepted by you. It was this thing we talked about. You have one hour to think about it. Soon your smile will be detached from your face. It was this thing we talked about. You have one hour to think about it. I don't know if you want me in your dreams. Discovering old fears. Smile.Fear.A cheerleader is near. Old movies.New dreams.Death. I don't want to fight an angel. He holds me in his arms. I don't want the angel to die. Soon this death will be proposed to you. It was that death we talked about. You have one hour to say goodbye. To people who doesn't care. They showed that she doesn't care. To everyone except from the ones you love. It was this thing we talked about. You have one hour to think about it. I don't know if you want me in your dreams. Discovering old fears.

Catherine O'Hara. Dreamgirl. Film scene. Right. Wrong. I fear of taking photos of myself. You must not force me to smile. Dreamgirl. Film scene. Right. Wrong. I fear of getting nude in front of girls now that I'm the queen of scars. We could as well be looking at the stars. You. The mother. I. The son. But you and I preferred to fall in love. You're the mother. I'm the son. Catherine O'Hara. Dreamgirl. Film scene. Right. Wrong. I fear of kids that lie about their age. What if they relate to God? Even now that I'm aware of the death i caused i care. Ice cream lady. Find something to fear .Oh.. Funny girl undead. Her life is in your hands Dark Lord. Ice cream lady. Find something to fear. Oh.. SNL in hell. Sinead is doing it again and again and again. Ice cream lady. You're sure you don't want me to hear .Oh. We fuck at Death's in every possible way and we dance and we kiss till our lips bleed. Ice cream lady. You're sure you don't want me to hear. Oh.. No. No voice. No. No eyes. The devil's look when she's surprised. We could as well be looking at the stars. You. The mother. I. The son. But you and I preferred to fall in love. You're the mother. I'm the son. You're the mother. I'm the son. And I'm not sure what I've done. What if I relate to God?

Supposed 03:46
Now that the donors are deceiced and the rapists are sentenced to fall in love. I am now supposed to meet this man. To look cool and make sure that he has some fun. Would you believe if I would tell you that I only want some fun, too? I only want to see some nude babes. I only wanna give my love to you babe. Would you believe if I would tell you that I'm always scared of fun? ...and always dream of a place that was never there. Now that the murders have begun and my neighbours are sleeping with a loaded gun - in their mouth. I am now supposed to be a man .To be a father and get excited when I bury my heart . Would you believe if I would tell you that I have a boy's heart? --Still. I'll only love the ones that 'll never respected me. Would you believe if I would tell you that I'll always be The Boy? -Always. and I'll only grow up when my parents need the help of a man. Life was supposed to be fun and God was supposed to care. This was supposed to be love and you were supposed...you were supposed to be there.

Songbird 04:23
For you, there'll be no more crying, For you, the sun will be shining, And I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right To you, I'll give the world To you, I'll never be cold 'Cause I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right. And the songbirds are singing, Like they know the score, And I love you, I love you, I love you, Like never before. And I wish you all the love in the world, But most of all, I wish it from myself. And the songbirds keep singing, Like they know the score, And I love you, I love you, I love you, Like never before, like never before.

Jesus tried to kiss me and then he paid me to smile. Try to make a living. Try to make an honest living. Jesus tried to fuck me -he just wants to feel me- and then he paid me to smile -and slap myself. Smile for the Lord. He's just asking you to smile. -I'm sucking a popsicle. It drive him nuts. Smile. Jesus just wants me to smile. Jesus now loves me. He just said that he needs me. Now naked girls are tribbing. Our party is our fight to survive. Jesus now loves me. He just said that he needs me.He just pretends to be successful and he fakes me a smile. Smile for the Lord. He's just asking you to smile. -I'm sucking a popsicle. It drive him nuts. Jesus just wants you to smile. Why don't you give it a try? Every one dies to get inside his car and go for a ride. Ride.

I was trying to please you but i pleased myself instead. Not funny. I said I want to please you baby so I pleased myself again. Handcuffs. Baby wants handcuffs when giving head. I am your cure. I am psycho. I am your God. Your love machine. Gonna drill you baby so shut up. Won't you help me slide it in? Handcuffs. Baby wants handcuffs when giving head. Jesus promised love to a sweet boy. He promised the world. You have nothing to say. Sweet boy. That boy was dumb enough to pray. The gates of heaven closed forever. This handsome boy is nowhere now and it seems that nowhere is the saddest place on earth. Where filthy angels train the masters of new flesh. Jesus promised love to a sweet boy. He promised the world. What should I say? Jesus promised love to a sweet boy. You have nothing to say. The boy was dumb enough to pray.

Plague 04:28
Plague soon starts to spread. Spread in our hometown. Hell kids are now awake setting the school on fire. Plague is in the church. Soon God's face will burn. Hell kids are still awake and I feel chosen for. Give a kiss to the woman. Sex. Then wave goodbye. Birth is not an option. Giving birth to a blind and hairy little child... Blame the endless dreaming. Picture us the end . Fake was your expression when you heard that I was loved by someone's hate. The name is theirs now. The song is theirs now. The truth is not now. The blood is right now. Give a kiss to the woman. Sex. Then wave goodbye. Birth is not an option. Giving birth to a blind and hairy little child...

God was never there for me. It was always about him and never about me. And what if his evil baby brother set me free? Then he wouldn't even have to speak to me. Just let me be. I know his name it begins with a G. I 'll only believe in what movies taught to me. I close my eyes and dream of the same street. Cronenberg is teaching and Kubrick is in me. So just let him be. There is a great amount of pain inside me. It's about my father. Oh fuck. This is not how i was supposed to be. The death of my friends brought you closer to me. You were never there for me.

Brittany 03:19
And even if the lefts of the government unite. And even if the singers finally sing right. I wouldn't stand a chance to be with you, cause girls just do it for you . And even if my speech was heard loud and clear. And even if your Jesus suddenly reappear. I wouldn't stand a chance to be with you, cause girls just do it for you. Brittany, at least the devil music sets us free and I 'm so thankful that you stood up for me tonight. Brittany. Dancing in the clouds. Your body seems to carry the weight of the world tonight. And even if the mother of the newborn just died. And if the newborn had to act to porn to survive. If only i could have this dance with you, but baby girls just do it for you. And even if the holy book is just to fall asleep. And baby you only dream unicorns in your sleep. If only i could share the dance floor with you. We'd kick some butts. Just me and you. Brittany and me. K-U-R-S-I-N-G. We made a promise .Believe in love or die. Dancing in the clouds. God will never find us there. We cross our fingers. Believe in love or die.

Gorgeous 04:01
Gorgeous in your summer clothes. The radio plays the "man eater". A dirty car slowly stops by and besides you there's just a scary old woman who is trying to warn you but you're... Gorgeous in your summer clothes. The radio plays the "man eater". Now you're crying in the basement. They even took your clothes. The hills have eyes and wanna make you feel like home. And it feels like home. When the truth treats you as one of us it feels like... Gorgeous in your summer clothes. The radio plays the "man eater". They lead you in the forest. They had enough with you. They sing you, your favorite song while they rape you and it feels... Gorgeous. And it feels like home. From now on when you'll listen to "now you're all alone" it will feel like home.

Running past the hall. We're in a hurry. We're getting old. We're boys . We're swearing that we'll never fall in love. We' re boys. We're lying that we'll never fall in love. Then don't change us God. Don't wanna change.No.No. Let us keep our bodies warm. I fear that someday i'm gonna have to get in touch with the lost boys. Each time you ask I'm lying about my age. I'm so old. And my Lord. My keeper just sensed the smell of death. Then fuck out of fear. Then don't change me God. Don't wanna change. No.No. Let me keep my body warm. Here is where he keep the boys . Out of fear. Out of fear. Here is where he kept us boys. Chained. We should leave. I'll always try to figure out what's happening in the world. Then don't change me, God. Don't wanna change. No.No.

Eating flesh is now forbidden. Eating flesh was supposed to be our way of reaching God. Rock and roll is now mistreated. Rock and roll was supposed to be our way of reaching God. but... The city I live in is the city of devils. The city of devils. I'm God's lonely man. Start the dreaming. Start the endless sleeping. In dreams I walked with you. In dreams you stopped talking to me and I stopped talking to you. I am sure you'll find a reason. There's always a reason for being unhappy. The city I live in is the city of devils. The city of devils. I'm God's lonely man. Start the dreaming. Start the endless sleeping. The city I live in is the city of devils. The white devil is getting closer.

Suddenly I saw you in the corner of that song. Silently screamed to you: "I don't want to have no more." This song is about you. You shouldn't mess with my dreams. I stopped asking for help. Now I try to find peace. I don't like strangers when they treat me like a friend. I was a young boy. I could never be your friend. Your hands were undressing me. That's when I first talked to God. I prayed "Save me and I will be your shining star". This song is about you. I couldn't get out that door. I was just a boy but I guess that's what you were after for. To feel young once more. But why don't I feel like... Why don't I feel a little better when I find my way. I always fear that... I always fear that when I close my eyes this moment will be there. You will always be there.(You will be standing right there.)

Unicorn 05:33
I wear black. I feel blue. My face is white. It turns red. Be strong. Play dead. Lie to God. Need a favor. God says "Go away". He says "Go away". My father's eyes haunt me. Satan stares my long legs. I wish his kids will all born dead. Cause I wear black and you are there and you sing "Go away". Save yourself. Burn your skin. Unicorn.

about

"American Unicorn” is the fourth solo album of The Boy released from Inner Ear. It was written, performed and produced by The Boy. It was recorded and mixed by callmelazy and mastered by John Christodoulatos. Vanessa Ferle designed the artwork based on the photos of Niki Nikolakakou.

A few words about the album:
The American Unicorn is a pop distortion.
It’s Alex De Large who laughs away Singin’ In the Rain, practicing ultra-violence in Clockwork Orange.
It’s Buffalo Bill, dressed in human skin, rocking to the sounds of Goodbye Horses in The Silence Of The Lambs.
It’s sinful Mimi Rogers who saw the boy-prophet in her dream.
It’s The Applegates, a family of cockroaches transformed into humans in order to flood the american suburbs.
It’s Catherine O'Hara who forgot Macaulay Culkin home alone. 


It’s Brittany and Santana kissing to the sound of Fleetwood Mac’s rumours.

It’s Mark Twain’s clay animation Satan that was banned from NBC.


It’s Jesus who tried to kiss you and pays you to smile.


It’s the talentless stand up comedian, Marty Malt who has a hand on his back and the doctor told him to put plasters.
It’s the shaved head children of Prince of Darkness, waken up by the plague of 1999.
It’s Max Headroom who still laughs spasmodically in my dreams.
It's the hideous uniformity of the cheerleaders. 


It’s the Last House On The Left where we kill beauty and affluence.
It’s The Lost Boys of Santa Carla praying to God not to change them.
It’s Bret Easton Ellis who has the key to the wrong rooms.
It’s Mia Sara who wants to kill the Unicorn and let us all sink in darkness afterwards.
It is he who touched me weirdly when I was young.
It’s growing up in gray Athens in 1981 and feeling like it’s Yellow Los Angeles.
If you say that the American Unicorn is all these, how come it doesn’t exist? I reply “Do you ever wonder how would we be if we did not see the wrong dreams ?"

“American Unicorn” is released in double 10inch blue vinyl (including bonus cd) and digital album from Inner Ear.
