First thing you know is you don't know a thing

Second thing you think about is that you're sinking

Third thing is water, fourth thing is air

Five are the fingers of wind in your hair

You can leave the city that you used to call home

You can leave your lover just to love all alone

You can leave your father or leave your son

And you can leave your clothes on





A nerve so sleek has entered your head

Take up your sickle, throw it and leave your bed

Make sure your will is good and hard

Make sure you never let down your guard

You can leave your body, you know the technique

Leave for two minutes or for two weeks

You leave your work and your pleasure undone

You can leave your clothes on

You can leave the city you used to call home

You leave your lover just to love all alone

You leave your father or leave your son

And you can leave your clothes on
