Wire Animals - Thin White Rope

I’m amazed how the news does travel

Static like ghosts in gasoline

Faster than vision on a wire

Faster than voices overseas

And the voice says to me:

«You are alone, you are not free»

Late at night when I’m cooling down

Rattles sound inches from my face

And your voice lashes like a snake

With a phone cord for a tail

And the snake says to me:

«You are alone, you are not free»

I dial networks that ripen slowly

Ripen long after 12 o’clock

And the wind shakes the drying fruit

Sounds like chewing in the dark

And I choose what I see

I am alone, I am not free
