Somersault

and i never drank alcohol and i never got high

it was the end of a hundred years that took me by surprise

what i thought to be dangerous, on the verge of a smile

turning out to be nothing more than hiss and overdrive

and there is nothing or noone more powerful

and the light that shines upon you says the same

when i wake up i’m doing a somersault

for the ones who never dared to speak my name

i am shy and mysterious when i say my goodbyes

when i part with the ones i’ve come to love throughout my life

when the times are miracelous, when i stop to think twice

when i sleep in the bushes next to where the treasure lies

with a devil in the words that you speak to me

when there’s nothing left and we are at the end

in the heavens you laugh at me secretly

where it echoes over and over again

and there is nothing or noone more powerful

and the light that shines upon you says the same

when i wake up i’m doing a somersault

for the ones who never dared to speak my name
