THE CAT EMPIRE lyrics : "Miserere"

Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky

on a night when the skies echoe sounds
from inside of your mind
on the stage that you shone

where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes

of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
your reflection in shadows and dreams?

- your reflection in shadows and dreams

Did you ever see a man

who did walk down the street
white robe with no shoes on his feet
and on top of his head place a box with two slits

and the sign from his neck said
'I do not exist'
or a woman who could not remember her name

did stutter and stutter
again and again
and saw you and called you her son

her eyes said
'my being is gone
but still I'm not dead'?


Miserere


Have you ever seen a sound
have you listened to an image
have you ever touched a thought

have you ever tasted nothing
have you ever told a lie
that was true more than truth

because truth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to you?
And what did it say

it is that it is this
this goes here here is there
it is not yes it is

it was dulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
have you ever my friends

been looking around?

And the other replies

with a wave of a hand
I am already here
in this promised land

but not by a god and not by a king
and not by a spirit
deep from within

I am here
because a miracle's a whim
it's a flash of glory

it's an empty tin
and maybe might lets you in
not to save you

but to keep on looking-

MiserereÂ?


Have you ever
been so happy that you're sad?

that the lights turn to stars
and the stars become eyes
and hello's are goodbye's

and the laughs are the sigh's
and the show disappears with the note
'until next time'


Long live living
if living can be this


Long live living
if living can be this

Long live living

if living can be this

Long live living
if living can be this


Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky
on a night when the skies echoe sounds
from inside of your mind

on the stage that you shone
where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
of the worlds you have seen

and the sights that have been
your reflection in shadows and dreams
Do you ever look around
and find what is yet to be found?
