the muffled beat of distant music someone celebrates it's hunting season urbanised I wish I could be there warmth and laughter the right amount of danger Johnnie Walker wisdom as Cohen used to say
but it's pouring down with rain do you remember? are you alive? do you still speak of deeds undone?
I used to be immortal I was innocent as a child my vision was unlimited I saw rivers on the Moon had important things to say can't remember what they were of all the things I did none had been done before
but achievements never last do you recall? do you dream? do you still need company?
I had a friend who knew the language of the future I'm told he lost his mind they say he went away navigating empty streets astray among the lost a shadow in the corner of a stranger's eye
but there's nothing left to learn do you count the years? do you breathe? do you still watch the sunrise?
my ambition took me further than I dreamt I don't even need a mirror anymore the penthouse pool is full of ice it should be flowers winter came too soon
but you never liked to swim so you feel safe? are you happy? do you still know my name?
