Hyper‐Ballad Songtext
von Björk

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
This 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 again with you
I go through all this before you wake up
So I can feel happier to be safe again with you

It's 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
I 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 again with you
I go through all this before you wake up
So I can feel happier to be safe again with you
I go through all this before you wake up
So I can feel happier to be safe again with you
