lyrics

Wiped out on the floor – unproductive
In and out of sleep
Can’t do this any more
Can’t do this any more
It all starts with that golden ball of childhood
The boot scraper, the cat prints in the cement
And it’s far, far, far too late now
Too late to add in or remove anything

Still, there were no distorted attachments
And now a song takes a look back there
A fantasy unfolding
Things that did or did not occur
Waterfalls of dust plunge upwards
Sunshine: illuminate that carpet time
Flies stuck to yellow t-shirts
And a safe, warm place to hide

I’m headed west
Gonna find the best impossibility
The crest of a hill
Or better still the green of Kerala

Now, I do not feel I deserve this
I don’t deserve to be close to you
I don’t have any reason to take care of myself
So I just hide underneath this roof
And although I can relate to what he talks about
It doesn’t fit into my own memory tale
So pretend, just pretend, and live through that
‘Cause the world might get just a little better now

And it takes an age to make good change
But a moment to be fucked by the truth
And that’s exactly what I meant back then
Direct or not – it doesn’t matter
And if you feel unique, give up the talk
‘Cause talk can’t tell your past
Experience is way too dense
And a newborn baby’s got the longest death of any of us

I’m headed west
Gonna find the best impossibility
The crest of a hill
Or better still the green of Kerala
