NO AIR (E. Satie/ C. Norby)
Stormy sentences fly from your mouth
No air
Accusations all gather in clouds
No air
Thirty-store buildings of cries and complaints
And thirty-four cyclones that keep you insane
And I
I watch the odd ballet your body performs
and I smile
Aching adjectives, negative nouns
No air
Absurd scenery - Where are the clowns?
No air
Towers constructed on yesterdays lies
You threaten to crash them in front of my eyes
And I,
I listen instead to your melody
with my eyes closed
Stormy sentences fly from your mouth
No air
Accusations all gather in clouds
No air
Thirty-store buildings of cries and complaints
And thirty-four cyclones that keep you insane
And I
I watch the odd ballet your body performs
and I smile
Aching adjectives, negative nouns
No air
Absurd scenery - Where are the clowns?
No air
Towers constructed on yesterdays lies
You threaten to crash them in front of my eyes
And I,
I listen instead to your melody
with my eyes closed
