Now I remember

Now I remember
Suddenly
As the smell gets into my brain
How it was when I was younger
A face in other people faces
That one, not alike, EXACTLY like that
What I said
Can't remember the answers
yet
The unexpected breeze
The gentle push of a hand
The colour of the air
And the mind goes there
To the places I really lived
Really lived
If only I could stay
Forever
lost and alive
On an autumn's day

Still



Still
Twenty years
Then all of this will be
Gone

The distance between me and you

We meet and forget
Kill and regret
Everytime
And bet and lose
Again
Kiss and argue
Again
In a second a million times
Everyday
Saving space
Moving and removing
Always farther
Always tiny
And covered in dust
And forgotten
I swallowed the key
To my
Most hidden room

Any penguin


Any penguin on the bus
Knows the road to the city
But they can't dance

'cause their legs are short
And they're just too young
For their clothes

Any penguin on the road
Could teach you how to pay your taxes
But they don't know how to smile

'cause their leash is tight
And they cannot breath
And I'm politely choking

Coming back home

And the more I look
the more I like the mess I'm in.
These suburban faces on the subway
the broken tiles on my way
to you
as I come crawling to the door
and I think of what we built
and bought,
and broken.

Your smile

In a frame
I could zoom in
In a tape
I don't watch anymore

You filled my eyes
And saved me
On a ship
In the Atlantic sea

Our clothes
Large and funny
Stone steps
Afraid to fall

You breath in me
As the wind that's pulling me
You breath in me
We are almost there

Your smile is the greatest thing I've ever seen

Norma Jean

Norma Jean

This bed is a temple
This face is a curse
These eyes are drowning
And someone's always late

Those pictures on the night stand
These lyrics I can still remember
I am your lover I am your wife
I am an actress I am drifting

To the movies
Here I come
To the movies

The strenght of the wrist
The unscrewing of the lid
And i swallowed it all
As you swallowed me

To the movies
Here I come
To the movies
