HiperBallad

Hiper-Ballad (Björk)

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 offlike: 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

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

and 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
