Hyper-ballad

Hyper-ballad
(Lag og texti: Björk Guðmundsdóttir)

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 cutler
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 the 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.
