We go down like moles

Claws dig an endless hole

We descend on fours

Our snouts lead us on



We fall down without notes

And so we build a barren moat

Work through the night, our eyes opaque

Our fingers cold, kisses in rain



We fall down in pairs

Moles locked in a blind stare

Your pearly mouth, it cracks a smile

Without a sound, the blind lead blind



We, the animals of prey

Have become cannibals untamed

Under the stars the moles go far

Into the earth like a sinking stone



We ascend as swans

Glide through blue waters calm

Exhausted head, it falls asleep

Under a rock, after the dig



We wake up as swans

Songs sung for no one

Left in the night, the moles asleep

Forgotten prey, dead rodent stink



We get up as swans

Big bird in a small pond

Our eyes are smiles, our fingers cold

Our lips are frowns, our toes have mold



We, the animals of prey

Have become cannibals untamed

Dug in the night, we use our spit

And make a moat where we play dead



We, the animals of prey

Have become cannibals untamed

Dug in the night, we use our spit

And make a moat where we play dead



We play dead, we play dead

We play dead, we play dead

We play dead, we play dead



We play dead, we play dead

We play dead
