Hyperballad - Björk (with the Brodsky Quartet)
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit
A way to start the day
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
It's real early morning
No-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
That's my jam right there.
Everything was wonderful until I scrolled further down the page and noticed that Hello Kitty was doing her jackbooted march perfectly in time to Bjork. That is some scary shit.
Works for the Gorillaz' "Clint Eastwood" in the next post, too.
I don't think Sanrio would appreciate that "jackbooted march" comment, though. . .
George, I'm starting to think your mix cds are almost as weird as mine.
That is one of my favorite Bjork songs! my kiddies too, they love it. I'm gonna play it now and we'll bop around the house.
