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?
