lyrics

Couch Surfer

A bestiary of your greatest fears -
Your life, too silent a disco.
Ask yourself in twenty-one years
‘Where on earth did this go?’

Emergency is subjective,
Nothing is allowed.
Excuses retro-fitted,
Everything is permitted

Smashed masterpieces
In a museum of your blacker fleeces
Then when the wonder ceases -
The distillate of a single tear set into a ring

Couch surfer
Flat earther
Rain maker.
Fire walker.

There's nothing like the taste of the earth
When you didn't choose to taste it.
And there's nothing like a wasted life
When you didn't choose to waste it.

The sea blending seamlessly into the sky -
Isn’t that how we’d all like to die?
Maybe that’s what they say
Where you come from.
But me, I wanna go off like a bomb
