Lyrics
*****

Now it's day, I've been trying to get that taste off my tongue
I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm
Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before
Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, feel my pores
It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light
Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
"What's the day?" "What are you doing?"
"How's your mood?" "How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
A sacred night, where we'll watch the fireworks
The frightened babies poo
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes...

I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A Genii made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin,
she spits me out in her surely blood rivers
All the people life lurking in dominions of a hot Turk dish
If elephants are reaching for our purses, then meet me after the world with the shivers.

"What's the day?" "What you doing?"
"How's your food?" "How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that you're only what I see sometimes.
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that I'm only what I see sometimes...

This song is such an integral part of the sound track of my life, it's absolutely beautiful.

I spent a lot of day dreaming about few moments of taking a deep pleasant breath
By someone I didn't even know
So I closed my eyes and then I was there
Just like that

I dreamt about you wherever you are,
How I make your body shakes filled with trance of the ancient rhythms,
Mind dancing with fire and water

Souls put together, cutting space and time and stopping in one frame lasting forever

You know who you are stranger.

This reminds me a lot of the Sigur Ros song Gobbledigook (both are very good).
