Landslide

Nothing to explain

Whenever you're around me 

The silence's still astounding

Unshadowed by distress or overcasting anger

We're lucky if the landslide hit's us hard on time;

Our rose-lipped youth is passing by



So easy that it's hard

Walking on a faultline,spending all the dreamtime

Waiting for the landslide to hit home

So those self-seeking satellites stop spinning 'round

And are forced to choose a different course



Who would wanna know?

If you're not gonna show

How the crazy gift of time takes it's toll

Impress me and say that you will put it straight

Wipe off the residue and clean the slate

Go get a grip before it's all too late

All and everythings at stake.



Too proud to let you know  (nothing to explain)

I tried to prove you wrong  (no need to complain)

But there's a consolation : 

The gravity's increasing  (nothing to explain whenever you're around me)

Since you've been around

The self-seeking satellites stopped spinning 'round

Can't find no joke to fend you off



Who would wanna know?

If you're not gonna show

How the crazy gift of time takes it's toll



Impress me and say that you will put it straight

Wipe off the residue and clean the slate

Go get a grip before it's all too late

All and everythings at stake:

More than anyone can take!
