Lyrics

Max Ernst's Dream

[Verse 1]

Hands on the surface

That is real okay

Sun locating black, silver and gray

Bring those things to light

Streetlamps to light

[Chorus]

This collapse, this expansion

Falling, vertigo

Off the brink, things can think and

Now they spin alive

Touching becomes a new seeing

[Bridge]

[?] so sweet

Calls to me

And I obey

When [?]

[Verse 2]

Eyes undisguised

The tactile stimuli

Sun over the black waterfall

Silvery and salty

And battered rock

[Chorus]

This collapse, this expansion

Falling, vertigo

Off the brink, things can think and

Now they spin alive

Touching becomes a new seeing
