Aaa-aaa-aaa aaa-aaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa aaa-aaa
A silent taxi driver
Gave me a code
Apparently, it turns out to be
A registration number
Here I am, left in front of
The Hotel Universe, Hotel Universe
Am I supposed to stay here?
Hotel Universe
Aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaa
Aaaa aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaa
Aaaa aaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaa
I am
I suppose
(There is nothing)
I am
(Else)
Already
(To do)
(But)
Checked in
(To go with the flow)
Everybody here wants to connect
Everybody here wants to connect
Everybody here wants to connect
Everybody here wants to connect
Hotel Universe
(Everybody here wants to connect)
Hotel Universe
(Everybody here wants to connect)

I can’t decide what goes better with quinoa
Hmm…Asparagus or brussels sprouts?
Hmm…what is quinoa anyway?
A seed, a grain, a plant?
Some people say we are what we eat
And then I’m thinking
What do I want to become?
It’s like constructing a house
Putting decorations afterwards
My body is my house, but I’m not always at home
My body is my house, but I’m not always at home
Walking round and round the vegetable isles
Analyzing forms, benefits and even spiritual meanings
I found myself becoming one of them
My body is my house, but I’m not always at home
My body is my house, but I’m not always at home
My body is my house, but I’m not always at home
My body is my house, but I’m not always at home
I’m not always at home
I’m not always at home
I’m not always at home
I’m not always at home

I did not find any (I did not find any)
Anything for lunch (Anything for lunch)
So I take off my clothes (So I take off my clothes)
And melt some sugar cubes (Melt some sugar cubes)
Taadaaa aaa aaaa aaaa aaa
Tuuduuu duu tuu tuuuuuuu
I did not find any (I did not find any)
Anything for lunch (Anything for lunch)
So I take off my clothes (So I take off my clothes)
And melt some sugar cubes (Melt some sugar cubes)

I’m made of Outer Space
Elevator up from the royal suite
I’m made of (Get naked) Outer Space
Elevator up from the royal suite (Get Naked)
I’m made of Outer Space
Elevator up from the royal suite

A?
Aaooou
(Ha!)
I am a flower (Aha, I’m Johnny on a motorcycle)
I have a garden
I didn’t expect any guests (I’m a chanterelle)
Fruits are not ripe yet (Ha!)
I’m a cloudberry (Oh, Santa Maria)
In the distant future (I am the beginning)
(I am an elephant)
I’m not afraid (Riding a mouse)
Honeybees are with me (Racing for a mango)
I’m not afraid
(Oh, where is my mango?)
I’m a flower on a rock
Flower on a rock
I’m a flower on a rock!
(Santa Maria, oh the umpire… I’m the beginning… you, s**** b***)
I’m not afraid!
(Oo… I like cloudberries)
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
Who said I have to be ready?
Who said that fruit is better than a flower? Who said... ready is ready?
Who said this flower is not ready?
Who said I have to be ready?
Who said that fruit is better than a flower? Who said... ready is...
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind

Lalalaa la lalalaaaa
Lalalaa la lalalaaaa
Lalalaa la lalalaaaa

Ready, ready, ready...
I’m never ready
I’m always ready
Ready, ready, ready...
There’s no such thing as ready
I’m always ready
And I’m never ready
It’s beautiful now

(Relax
Close your eyes
Everything will be alright
Just relax
Your skin is so soft and warm…)
I’m wrapped in plastic
It’s getting hot here
The music makes me drowsy
I’m so thirsty, I’m so thirsty
Where did she disappear?
Mummification
Ritual of preservation
Mummification
Ritual of preservation
This is a place where kinda lost souls go to be
In narcissism purgatory
In narcissism purgatory

The Skin I Live In

The skin I live in
Separates me from the universe
The skin I live in
Separates me from the universe
In every intercourse
Flesh like a fountain of atoms
Sparkle out from
My fortified skin
Skin soldiers bring them backkkkk
It’s a safe place
I’m in a safe place
It’s a safe space
Soldiers never let out inhabitants
In case they cause the irruption
The skin I live in
Separates me from the universe
The skin I live in
Separates me from the universe

Until You're Flesh Free

Destroy yourself to create
Destroy yourself to create
Go to the depths
Leave your comfortable numbness
Go to the depths
Leave your comfortable numbness
To be transformed
From the inside, inside, inside, inside out,
Inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside, inside, inside out
When you’ve emerged into your space
Shed your skin
Like a snake sheds its skin
Remove all your muscles and bones
Until you are flesh free

Water fills the room
I grab the wooden piece of a closet
As a float
My daddy gives me a chair
But I can’t sit on it
I can’t sit on it
Newspaper glued to it
And reads the future is obscure, nearly collapsed
I think it’s bright
I think it’s briiiiighhhhtttttt
I think it’s bright
I think it’s briiiigghhhtttttt
Oooohhhh, Kami rainbows!
I see rainbows
I want to study it more
I see rainbows
I want to study it more

Snake eats its tail
And it’s never done

The cyyyyyycle starts again
So scary to see myself in you
Youuuuuu uuu uuuuu
So scary to see myself in you
Youuuuuu uuu uuuuu
