lyrics
On the terraced roof, there is a room,
Quite amorphous, like a mother’s womb,
No one knows what lies behind the door,
We knew back then, but now we can’t be sure,
It’s open once, then closed for ever more.
Tiny creature, curled up in a ball,
Stretching out then stepping into crawl,
Autonomy means standing on your own,
Touch the sky, now that you have grown,
Look out there, the seeds that you have sown.
Gentle breeze, the sun shines overhead,
Mother nature’s son gets out of bed,
Lazily, he wonders what to do,
Sort out his act, buckle up his shoe ?
Who me ? Not I, please don’t misconstrue.
Dreaming on the deck, for me is part,
Intrumental process of my art,
Through work freedom you don’t get,
Work means perspiration that means sweat,
Forsaken world, better to forget.
‘Pon the stack of boxes lies the jewel,
Twist and turn as does the lesbian rule,
Open space that’s sheltered by a screen,
Plastic gesture, oh that’s rarely seen,
Freedom is a clothoid pear-shaped bean.
