She wears her Japanese silk slippers |
|
She's standing in a blizzard of post-it notes |
|
On an Afghan rug and smiles |
|
I comb a hand through my hair |
|
I'm fumbling for a word but it's not there |
|
There's just a blind spot in my memory |
|
A friend wrote me a letter |
|
From his cigarette break |
|
He says he kind of found religion now |
|
He says he's doing fine |
|
A motorbike is roaring by outside |
|
I think it would be nice to take a ride |
|
Or spend a while in someone else's head |
|
On the street the psychedelic alcoholic |
|
From number 14 passes me by |
|
He grins as if he knew something |
|
Rent a flat, says a poster, |
|
Rent a thought, rent a lifestyle |
|
Today I saw a shopping cart duel |
|
In the supermarket aisle |
|
No sweets in the sweet shop, |
|
No wind in the tree tops |
|
And there's something in the air |
|
Early snow in October, |
|
All the drunkards are sober |
|
And there's something in the air |
|
All the while I think I gotta leave, |
|
No-one's nice these days |
|
And no-one pays their bills and I've been told |
|
My heart's in perfect shape |
|
Salesmen mumble bible quotings |
|
On the radio like tinnitus |
|
Irony is over, take the trash out |
|
Who said that? |
|
No sweets in the sweet shop, |
|
No wind in the tree tops |
|
And there's something in the air |
|
Early snow in October, |
|
All the drunkards are sober |
|
And there's something in the air |
|
She wears her Japanese silk slippers |
|
She's standing in a blizzard of post-it notes |
|
On an Afghan rug and smiles |
|
The world has turned into a blur |
|
With only random scenes in focus |
|
Cut-out images I cannot possibly explain |
|
No sweets in the sweet shop, |
|
No wind in the tree tops |
|
And there's something in the air |
|
Early snow in October, |
|
All the drunkards are sober |
|
And there's something in the air |
