PEDESTAL
From the album 'Dummy'
[3:41]
LYRICS:
How can I believe this
miracle
Where the wind blows dry
Thru the force of a man
Undenied by his eye
You abandoned me
How I suffer
Ridicule breathes a sigh
You abandoned me
Lost forever
Hush, can you hear
Enter and rejoice this pedestal
Where the rainbows hide
Your destiny
Mystery of all time
No time make or reason
Ridicule breathes a sigh
No time make or reason
Hush, hear him cry
No time, make or reason
No time, make or reason
No time, make or reason

COMMENTS:
It's about death; I was
much more into that than now. I thought I had
a clear picture of death but now I know it's
a mystery and it will always be a mystery,
although it is something we all have in
common: everybody knows that life ends with
death. So then I try to imagine how we would
live if we didn't know we were going to die.
Would we live our lives differently? Less
careful maybe? Less scared? These are
beautiful things to think about and build a
song around. Beth
