lyrics

This could be freedom
This is something else
This could be a study on life living

This could be less
Hooked up on the making
Site specific installation
Hooked up on the making
The most modern painting
Hooked up on the making
The most modern painting
Feeding the ego
Sick sweet feeling
Back to the dark mirror narcissus

The conditions for being are changing
Who do I address
Conversations at breakfast
With images of ourselves
Is this life we're kicking
Something real is missing
I remember seeing
Yes, I remember seeing
Back to the dark mirror narcissus

Floundering over soft core addictions
Hooked to the classics
Hooked up to the game
Hooked up to the conversation
Hooked up on the making
The most modern painting
The most modern painting

Heavy, heavy drowning in blessings
Heavy, heavy drowning in blessings
Heavy, heavy drowning in blessings
Heavy, heavy drowning in blessings
Heavy, heavy, drowning in blessings
Heavy, heavy, busy, busy

We're the echo of the sound
We have not yet heard
We're the image of the thing
We have not yet been
Let me see then
Let me see
Let me see then
Let me see

I immortalise you here remotely
Longing to be closer
To when we sat in gardens
And made mountains out of matter
Staring at empty glasses
In gardens

Quiet whipping winds
Whisper things
As she passes
Long summer grasses
Blow curses to the wind
As she sings
Shows you things

Quiet whipping winds
Whispering things
As she passes
Long summer grasses
Blow curses to the wind
As she sings
You can lose all the feeling
Remove all the meaning
This is a very good life

Busy, busy drowning in blessings
Busy, busy drowning in blessings
Busy, busy drowning in blessings
Busy, busy, heavy, heavy

This could be freedom
This is something else

A word from the conversation
Disturbed me from my private slumber
Sugar dripping rumours
And the pleasure of the surrender
Begin a million drumrolls
To call us from our sleepy coffins
Wake us from our warm soft skulls

Heavy, heavy drowning In blessings
Heavy, heavy drowning in blessings
Heavy, heavy, busy, busy

This is a very good life
