|
I'm lying as far out |
|
Towards the edge |
|
As possible |
|
So far out |
|
That i'm almost tripping over |
|
You lie behind me |
|
Your breath is heavy |
|
You're sleeping |
|
There are some screws |
|
That are coming loose |
|
From two holes in the wall |
|
The plaster's sifting down |
|
Resting like sleep-sand in my eyes |
|
There's a cabinet (Hanging over my bed) |
|
Filled with all my secret things (Filled with all my secret things) |
|
Every night i lie (Staring at it) |
|
I'm so afraid that it will fall down |
|
Onto my face |
|
I know what is keeping |
|
My cabinet from falling down |
|
It's very a small bird |
|
Made of ceramics |
|
Fastened by a thread |
|
To the bottom of the cabinet |
|
When you're awake |
|
You play around with it |
|
Then i get so scared |
|
That the thread won't be strong enough |
|
I'm hiding my head under the pillow |
|
Hoping that |
|
The bird won't fly away |
|
There's a cabinet (Hanging above my bed) |
|
Filled with all my secrets things (Filled with secret things) |
|
Every night i lie (Staring up at it) |
|
I'm so afraid that it will fall down ' |
|
Cause what if the cabinet (Were to fall down) |
|
And what if it hit my face (Would you get frightened by) |
|
The things that you would see (The things that you would see) |
|
Or would try to mend it (Would you even try) |
|
There's a cabinet |
|
Hanging above my bed |
|
Filled with secret things |
