Hey, do you remember before your were born,
When we would play on the seventeenth floor?
With our backs to the wall, singing sounds of the ages,
Going: Oh la, de da, de da, de la.
Today we are one, we are something, remember?
We were somewhere without reason, without
Days, without words, without pleasure or pain.
Do you remember my sweet, when our beings were entwined?
And as our glories came closed, our birth begat cries…

I am the two-toed wanderer

My spirit will rise

There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
