Telling familiar stories
Invited us to our home for some soup
Bothered by steam

We clipped our wing, so we can't fly

Better than better than what?

Some dying off
A rocket ship
Looks as if a day is gone

Looks as if a day is missing
Everyone's trying to leave
Lorries driving to the sea

Who is that who slammed the door?
Looks as if a day has gone away


More active than scraps alive

Sleep for weeks but often stirring

More alive than anyone swears
As born were we from hollow trees
Telling familiar stories

Invited us to our home for some soup
Bothered by steam
We clip our wing, so we can't fly away


Looks as if a day is gone
Looks as if the day is playing

Looks as if a day is gone
Looks as if a day has gone away
