I've got a perfect body
But sometimes I forget
I've got a perfect body, because my eyelashes catch my sweat
Yes they do, they do.

Far (2009)

No one's laughing at God —
We're all laughing with God.

Far (2009)

Leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die
When they're about to fall from trees
When they're about to dry

Far (2009)

Living in your pre-war apartment
Soon to be your post-war apartment

Far (2009)

It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can't believe it; you were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember; you try to move your feet.

Far (2009)

Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar

Far (2009)

Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

Far (2009)

No one laughs at God in a hospital,
No one laughs at God in a war,
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor...

Far (2009)

God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious...
