lyrics

“Strange to think that once there was a planet
With no one there, no mind that could observe
And from the dark, life flickered for a moment
And as it died it dreamed itself important

Am I a clock whose hands move in two directions?
Am I a crow choking on the stone of wisdom?
Am I a cell that runs across a slide chasing poison?
The night is cold and clear, the stars are prickling at the water
The moon’s a sharpened stone to cut a glowing hole in the water
The night is cold and clear, the cosmic ecstasy of the mincer

Loves go by, and roll like pearls falling
From broken string, tumbling away
And destiny, is an animal that’s sickened
Staggering, in decreasing circles

Adrift on my back I will try to ignore
The slow going out of the lights on the shore
‘Cause I know my own way home
An animal bred into captivity
And still ready to chase any sign of release
Or a scent of a great unknown
Europe will crash into Africa
And give birth to a new Himalaya
And my bones will fossilize in an inland sea”
