 Bjrk - Post - HyperballadBjrk, Neele Hooper & Marius De Vries  2005.03.29. 17:23  "Basically, 'Hyper-ballad' is about having this kind of bag going on and three years have passed and you're not high anymore. You have to make an effort consciously and nature's not helping you anymore. So you wake up early in the morning and you sneak outside and you do something horrible and destructive, break whatever you can find, watch a horrible film, read a bit of William Burroughs, something really gross and come home and be like, 'Hi honey, how are you?'." 
we live on a mountain
 right at the top
 there's a beautiful view
 from the top of the mountain
 every morning I walk towards the edge
 and throw little things off
 like: car-parts, bottles and cutlery
 or whatever I find lying around
 
 it's become a habit
 a way
 to start the day
 
 I go through all this
 before you wake up
 so I can feel happier
 to be safe up here with you
 
 it's real early morning
 no-one is awake
 I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
 I listen to the sounds they make
 on their way down
 I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
 imagine what my body would sound like
 slamming against those rocks
 
 and when it lands
 will my eyes be closed or open?
 
 I go through all this
 before you wake up
 so I can feel happier
 to be safe up here with you
