BJORK LYRICS - Hyper Ballad

"Hyper Ballad"



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 cutlery

or whatever i find lying around



it's become a habit

a way

to start the day



i go through 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'll go through all this

before you wake up

so i can feel happier

to be safe up here with you
