Looking in the mirror of his face He did not recognize That he filled himself with emptiness Of his hollow eye
He challenged every second That he did even try Forgotten are the moments That follow like a spy He used to pull the hairs from his skull While hanging on a chair The jaw grinds under staring eyes He chews them one by one
He only drank hot water from the tab Above his kitchen sink He drank until he could no more Feel the flooded floor He fell into his wooden chest To sleep with open eyes The beauty of a senseless sleep Away = paradise
The morning light falls in his eye It does not even blink At the sound of reality A flooding kitchen sink
We carry you around As long as we can You are the nobody man The secrets of our bodies Reveal the nobody man You're here in our solitude One body, one vote You're comforting our loneliness It's a poor democracy
Tjook lyrics, composition, vocals, guitar Piano arrangement and performance Dick Boshoff Leiden - NL 1989
