Monument Songtext
von Jane Child

Pasted labels on my days
Well, I was wandering faster than science
Going over the greenery
Where often just a change of stance
Could end up looking like a Christ
But there is hardly any more imagination
Ambushing the habits that I have lately fallen into
Well, I could sit for days like a statue
Even though I′m trying not to do the same things twice

So throw a cloth around the shaking shoulders
Of the statues that you've built
You′ve built yourself into a monument
A monument
You'd even pray to it
While it was yawning


And just like zero in its constant emptiness
Oh, I'm uttering the words of some useless, unwritten scripture
Where often just a change of words
Could end up talking like a Christ

So throw a cloth around the shaking shoulders
Of the statues that you′ve built
You′ve built yourself into a monument
A monument
You'd even pray to it
While it was yawning

Throw a little money in the paper cups
Of all those things that you are not

You′ve built yourself into a monument
A monument
You'd even pray to it
While it was yawning
