lyrics

We are always moving
Crocodiles, elephants
Following the river to the north

In the shade I am
Hydrogen I am
In the air I am
Oxygen I am

We have to feed the giants
penetrate their insides
We have to feed the giants
their mouths are open wide

In the shade I am
Hydrogen I am
Can I reencarnate?
In the air I am
Oxygen I am
Can I become flesh?

I don't want to
I don't need to
I'm afraid to

I am always here
and will always be
"Here" is where I am
"There" is where I'm not

Two are the ways of happiness
One says seek, the other says conform
But this one does not search happiness, but content
Content is the highest will of zen
Unsatisfaction is result of nonconform

Come dear
Come to my ear, come
come here
come near

Be silent
my musketeer, go
be violent
be clear
