oh, Hindenburg, Hindenburg
I’ll follow wherever you go,
I’ll follow you down
everybody's always going somewhere
even mountains, with or without a care
so Hindenburg, Hindenburg,
I'll follow you down

Moviegoer
02:15
|

|
at the point of something flowing over
from the side I hone in, a moviegoer
and in the midst of everything almost bursting
l look out the window, trees upturning
and as you tumble over your motormower
by the stone your nose hits, a four-leaf clover
and as you pass out, gurgling
for a moment
an unheard-of thought hits
then it’s over

didn’t you say you were still on your way, or was I just dreaming?
now, everyone’s gone but this fiddle and drum
and here I am waiting, again
here I am waiting
colourless as only life can be
we should be lovers today only
(both of us restless, inherently lonely)
I’ll comb out my tangles today only
put on my swimwear and let it go

I worked so little and thought so much never thought I'd see a change
I thought so little and worked so much
if i cannot seek and I cannot go
how can I know what you are thinking about?
if I cannot speak, how can I show -
I know how everything is
be a squid; squeeze and churn, alive

Dusty

|

don’t you know that I’m dusty too,
don’t you know that I’m rusty through and through?
wherever I go, I am dusty through and through
I ́ll get old before I am functional

Oh Snake, O Dog
02:25
|
|||
|
I’m just a snake and I live in the ground
I’m just a snake and I’m afraid of dogs
I’m just a snake and I slip into the ground when I get scared
I’m just a dog and I live in the yard
I’m just a dog and I’m scared of loud voices
I’m just a dog and I eat what I find
and I’ll slip into the ground -
the moment I am through

Downtown

my hands believe in touch
my feet believe in ground
and when I go downtown
my eyes -

Tadpole
01:45
|

|
it's been building up to a rainstorm!
and I'm waiting here for your say-so
to come over, come over
now who is the tadpole
who's the landlord,
who is the rorqual?
a-loafing and roaming
...won't you come? oh, come over
head plummeting into the water
embracing, under water
now who is the landlord
who's the rorqual,
who is the tadpole
waiting here for the rainstorm to blow over

Sleepwalker

do you know what kind of sleepwalker I am
do you ever really know where I am?
could have been, could have been
like a pair of yellow boots in the rain
but you know what kind of sleepwalker I am

bedtime, morning
so long
stretching, yawning
all gone
in the summer give up
all your thinking
it's enough
first the summer, then the fall
then you stumble on and on and on and on
even as the timelessness drags you on
you keep crawling back to no-one

Hubris

|

|
i hang on to the sun as it’s sinking
i forget everything that i’m thinking
then I’m drawn to the dust on the ceiling
and that’s all there is to say
(pinch a hole in your bag and you’ll breathe in
and that’s all there is to say)
