Come on what do you want to see What do you see, what do you see, what do you see? Ah - Ah You sleep on the edge You don't want to go anywhere It's an endless dead end here Come on what do you want to see What do you want to be (but this is stagnation, why are you sleeping) What am, what am, what are you, oooh And what are you throwing away What do, what do, what do you keep? Ah - Ah What am, what am, what are you But this is stagnation, why are you sleeping Why, why don't you hunt? Out in the heart of the jungle 'Cause this is quicksand, why are you sinking Why why don't you float? Why don't you bite into anything, oooh For a moment you forgot everything, you looked down But it didn't stop anywhere, it's deep always everywhere ——————————————————————— We hang by the pool and it's getting dark My skin is no longer yours We look at the boys here, they dive from the diving board See the girls there falling through each other with Their long hair, their long fins slowly Over the bottom of the aquarium They look sideways through their long eyelashes They peer through the glass from the inside to the outside I squeeze my eyes half closed until I'm gone All the slow evenings back on my retina Every red sky reflects in the windows We hang until the water comes over the edge We sink into the pool and it's getting dark Against the houses and over the playground You look around, my white hair is glistening, Your shell is no longer mine, will you leave me? Will you leave me alone? Noiseless and silent Or will you fall from the edge? You stagger and stumble We take another sip, your voice in my head sings At the bottom of my glass you swim until I drink it empty Somewhere in my mind, you haunt until I fall asleep We hang until the water goes over the edge We sink in the pool and it gets dark Against the houses and over the playground We hang by the pool and you scream it Against the houses and over the playground We sink in the pool and it gets dark Against the houses and over the playground Where do you want to go? You finally jump out of my skin We were breathlessly trapped behind glass Now I drink without you, you breathe without me we seemed endlessly entangled in each other Where do you want to go? You finally crawl out of my skin We were breathlessly trapped behind glass Now I drink without you, you breathe without me we seemed endlessly entangled in each other We sink into the pool and it is getting dark Against the houses and over the playground We hang by the pool and you scream it Against the houses and over the playground Your long hair, your long fins slowly Over the bottom of the aquarium
