My fingers are grass My tongue the asp My town a burial mound
My eyes are jewels My ears hear fools And I put them down
My feet are wings My body sings Without a sound
Eyes of blind ignorance See a world of despair Mountains of man Hide cities too deep Cool dark graves where bodies creep
My nose is sharp It cuts the glass And then I escape
My back is flat Off the beaten track Am a landscape
My body and spine They intertwine I am a raging snake
I am at peace The feeling's neat Then suddenly I awake
Eyes of blind ignorance See a world of despair Mountains of man Hide cities too deep Cool dark graves where bodies creep
I am a waterfall I come tumbling (Tumbling) Tumbling (Tumbling) Down into infinity Down in journey to the sea Down, I rain on leaves and trees On beggars and thieves I am, I am, I am, I am
I stand at my window Wind and moonlight Fire my hair
I touch the glass It can't be seen But it's always there
I'm told I'm free And I believe Four walls imprison me
Eyes of blind ignorance See a world of despair Mountains of man Hide cities too deep Cool dark graves where bodies creep
My fingers are numb My tongue is blunt I am only me
My eyes are shallow My ears hollow I am only me
My feet are still I'm unfulfilled I am only me
My head's a bed It feels like lead My mind is totally free
I must sleep (I) I must sleep (Am) I must sleep (A waterfall) I must sleep I must sleep (I) I must sleep (Am) I must sleep (A waterfall) Sleep, sleep Sleep, sleep
