3. Dwarf In A Tree (a Cautionary Tale)

There was a dwarf who lived in a tree   I could see him just like you see me   He told me secrets I never knew   Misfortune would fill him with glee   I gave him smiles, he gave me words   And said that I should hear what he said   That you and I should walk through our ears   Into darkness and enter our heads   See our thoughts like films on screen   Play back what we don't understand   Rub out words we never meant   Vanish tears with a smile of hand   What people say is said for all time   We remember that we shouldn't forget   Putting words to my beautiful mime   And confusion is all that we get   To say hello is all that's required   Dig too deep and you get in a mess   Forcing smiles with lips that are tired   If you don't know the truth then you guess   The dwarf would laugh and stand on his head   Hang upside from the tree   And said that reason should be left unsaid   Or you'll end up a dwarf like me   You'll stunt your mind and cripple your heart   Wanting to know why and what   And starts to panic when boredom starts   So just be glad to have what you've got   The tree is gone and so has the dwarf   And all that's left is a hole   But don't be fooled that he's gone far away   He's just biding his time in your soul.

나무에 사는 난장이가 있었어 당신이 날 보듯 나도 그를 볼 수 있었지 그는 내가 모르는 비밀이 있다고 했어 불행이 기쁘게 그를 채울거야 나는 그에게 미소를 짓고 그는 내게 말을 해주었지 자기 말을 들어야 한다고 말이야 그와 내가 귀속을 지나 우리 머릿속 암흑으로 걸어 들어가야 봐야 한다고 했어 스크린에 비친 영화처럼 우리 생각을 보고 이해하지 못한 것을 돌려보고 의도하지 않았던 말을 지우고 미소의 손으로 눈물을 닦아 사람들이 하는 말은 늘 그렇지 우리는 잊어야 할 말을 기억하고 말을 예쁜 모습으로 포장하지만 남는 건 혼란 뿐이야 그저 인사만 하면 돼 피곤한 입술로 억지 웃음 지으며 깊이 생각하면 혼란스러워져 진실을 잘 모르겠다면 생각해 봐 난장이는 웃으며 나무에 거꾸로 매달려 물구나무를 서서 말했어 그 이유는 말해서는 안 돼고 그렇지 않으면 나도 난장이가 될 거라고 말이야 그 이유가 알고 싶어서  생각이 막히고 가슴이 답답하고  따분해지면 공포에 휩싸일거야 그러니 그냥 가진 것에 만족하도록 해 그 나무도, 난장이도 사라지고 구멍만 남아 있어 하지만 그가 멀리 떠났다고 착각하지마 그는 네 영혼 속에서 때를 기다리고 있을 뿐이야

1. Give Me, Take You

I give you me and you take

I offer real and you give me fake

Only an expert can tell between the two

Why don't you take from me what I give to you?

You take from me and I give

What is killing me makes you live

Give to me what it takes to be

And take from you what it means to see

So give to you and I'll take from me

Through your deafness I will hear and

Through my blindness you will see

Take what I give and only you will see

What I give to you is only what you give to me

(I should take but still I give

You should give out but still you take

We miss each other by a breath)

I give you me and you take

I offer real and you give me fake

Only an expert can tell between the two

Why don't you take from me what I give to you?

2. Ninepence Worth Of Walking

Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday night,

Come the day when I will disappear from sight.

Goodbye's made easy said with sleepy eyes,

Better a tear of truth than smiling lies.

Summer, monday, when I met you I was real,

Now it's winter, friday, I no longer feel.

Will you remember me as just a friend?

Or see the start of spring and not the end.

Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday night,

Come the day when I will disappear from sight.

Goodbye's made easy said with sleepy eyes,

Better a tear of truth than smiling lies.

If I didn't know you then I know you now,

And seeing doesn't last forever anyhow.

So hold me close and kiss me with a smile,

For I must leave you in a little while.

When you wake up monday morning, I'll be gone,

Leaving with you the news of immortal song.

If I stayed with you we would drift apart.

This way I'm always with you in your heart.

Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday night,

Come the day when I will disappear from sight.

Goodbye's made easy said with sleepy eyes,

Better a tear of truth than smiling lies.
