lyrics

The razor glides: Do you feel fine?
The one with the dimpled chin, the smooth behind

What shall I be today?
A flowerpot made of clay
Holding a moment as it flies
Finding a steady gaze

This is the way the rose unfolds
Shower-gel burbling down a hole
This is the way the bigman hides
Hoping the warmth inside glows on

The wardrobe creaks: Are you in there?
The one with the sharpest crease, clean underwear

Who shall I be today?
That man dressed all in grey
Taking each moment as it comes
Holding a steady gaze

This is they way the world goes round
Anonymous on the underground
This is the way the hitman hides
Hoping the spark inside shines on

The front door shuts: Are we all here?
The ones with the tightest butts on this frontier

How shall I be today?
Nearby but far away
Squeezing the moment till it cracks
Keeping that steady gaze

This is the way the mind endures
A pinch of salt and generic cures
This is the way the madman hides
Hoping the fire inside burns on

Burn on!
