about

Words and music originally written by Newsome c. 1997

lyrics

Down from the mountain
At journey's end
I saw a sign, clearly for me
And it said 'appreciate all nonsense and trash ...
and never, ever, get out of its way'

Blow through the reeds
Make husks bend
Cracked open suitcase
As the reeds sing

And I know of nothing, nothing at all
And I hear from no-one, no-one at all*
And is that a gift for?
I'll hide it from the world
And I will sing this song
Never again, no not anymore

(* this line is not sung on this version because someone couldn't count the number of bars when programming the drum machine)
