Текст песни Malkovich Theme - Malkovich Music

we are always at the brink of the known
we always feel forward for what is to be hoped
every judgment stands on the edge of error
we're here face to face with the crucial paradox
we seem to be running after a goal
which lurches away from us to infinity
every time we come within sight of it

Smoke everywhere, man, smoke's all I see
smoke darkening the world, smoke darkening me
fire burning
the lame get burnt to remains
fire burning
those who remain dance in the flames
men come to douse the blaze, just flesh and skin
one blast, all you saw was the skeletons
metal, tin, flesh and skin, life is everything
beginning, the ending, it's life and it's everything

A leap of faith in deep space, freeze frame
2004 A.D., a strange beast in a weird place
awake 20,000 years late
shooting stars scrape scars on a night sky, bleeding rain on us
walking red-spotted like we're in hospital garments
it's pitch-dark in the tarpit
we bark in clipped parlance
begging your pardon, sergeant
all I see is Martians and crooked arches
flying carpets chasing iron starships
passage six, man can see things that don't exist
but can't comprehend a time before this
and so it is
on the escape
'cause nothing is a mistake
we see the skull beneath the skin
the small hairs
the pores of the skin
a blemish here
a broken blood vessel there
these marvelous fingers
every drop is so perfect
the fingernail
I couldn't have designed that in a million years
it's ebb and it's flow
it's the head, it's the toes
it's yes and it's no
it's friend and it's foe
it's my arms and my legs
and my heart and my head
it's the start and the end
the darkness around the bend
it's the land and trees
and the sand and the sea
it's the hand on the key
it's the man you can't see
it's love and it's hate
and it's bumps and it's scrapes
and it's running a race with one foot in the grave
sperm, dirt, muscle, earth
flesh, mesh, faith, fate
create, erase, replace
change shape, same weight
light steals water
water rusts metal
kill a man and his body leaves a bed of rose petals
animal, machine, planet, bone, steel, cold steel
veins, wires, fertilizer, eat your whole meal
hear with these ears, step with these legs
I breathe the night air and I'm aware something's up there
I'm man, programmed with invisible hands
mastered the codes of math and mind, still a pawn in the plan
getting tired now and these legs are like toothpicks
spark dying out but I keep moving
injured I heal, threatened I run, cornered I fight
tired I rest
threaten my kids, I'm coming for your head
and when it's time to die I lie down and go to sleep
cuz the Earth gotta eat

smoke's all I see
smoke darkening the world, smoke darkening me
fire burning
the lame get burnt to remains
fire burning
those who remain dance in the flames
men come to douse the blaze, just flesh and skin
one blast, all you saw was the skeletons
metal, tin, flesh and skin, life is everything
beginning, the ending, it's life and it's everything

it's right and it's left and it's height and it's depth
and it's life and it's death and it's strife and stress
it's one and it's many, it's none and it's plenty
it's done and it's barely begun
we are astonished and chagrined
it's spectacular and yet
