From the recording A Little Fog
Lyrics
verse 10 bars
How the plants will grow
Winding tendrils creep
All around the room
Choking busts and making cracks in the walls
So the water can get through
Blood red trumpet flowers
Beckon hungry beaks
To their poisonous blooms
How curious the hummingbirds won’t fly
Close enough to get caught in the fumes
No bees or even ants will risk their lives
Only the wasps are making honey
A thousand years ago
Stood an altar, bronze
Briefly pardoning
Lowly trespassers in holy halls
Now dappled sunlight lures
Those of us who might
See the miracle
Of beautiful
disasters
How curious the buzzards deadly dive
There’s no prey left but there’s the thrill of the ride
Just like us stones turn to dust
But still will twist eternal vines
Et quand on se rapproche
Personne ne sait combien
De temps il faut attendre
Avant l'arrivé de la fin
Et c’est comme ça on danse
On danse dans l’infini
On danse dans l'infini
Dans l'infini
C’est curieux ce poisoneux parfum
Quelle sacrifice va nous sauver cette fois
Du cancer de la vie éternelle
Ou rien ne change rien ne change rien ne change
And I have come
To drink the nectar
Face the spectre
In the ruins
I have come
To drink the nectar
Drink the nectar
