Residual Compost of Postmodern Reality

from Music in a Dark Café by Nathan Bollig

/

lyrics

If you hate me so much you'll knock me out swiftly
take all my money and slander my name
and tell me you never loved me
but you'll love to see me vanishing

If you love me so much you'll put in your hands in your pockets
take all your money and hand it to me
and don't ask me where I'm traveling
‘cause where I go I want nobody following

It will be a few decades 'til I can come home
several more until I can show my face again
Maybe I'll see you in nighttime fantasies
Maybe I'll never see you again

You want to believe that the world isn't spherical
so I will pretend that dogs are not carrying
buckets of fire across the cold still smoldering
residual compost of postmodern reality

I will try to explain and it's not very clear
but the sound of the world is a concrete symphony
a broken chorus
a nighttime lynching
that beats on and on like a terrible dream

You want to believe that the world isn't spherical
so I will pretend that dogs are not carrying
buckets of fire across the cold still smoldering
residual compost of postmodern reality
