Hun Sun from Dangling Man by Jack Parris and the Marine Island Band

It means nothing to you
It means nothing
It means nothing to you

Holding
The picture.
In my
Left hand
Thumb
Forefinger

My meatcleaver
My meatcleaver

But when I close my eyes
And I dive into the light
And I wake up somewhere near the left of frame
I move around the room
The forgotten old school
Now we’re all in the photo again

It means nothing to you
It means nothing
It means nothing to you

Moments lead to moments that lead to
On and on and on.
Nothing’s wrong
In song
In song

When I open up my eyes
And I’m swimming in daylight
Can’t remember my own name
Float round this room
In this animal costume
It’s certainly not familiar terrain

But when I close my eyes
And I dive into the light
And I wake up somewhere near the left of frame
Moving round the room
That forgotten old school
Now we’re all in the photo again

It means nothing
It means nothing to you
It means nothing to you
It means nothing to you

Study every moment
Try to take it all in.
Gotta to take it all in
Sit back and wash it in.

Study every moment
And all things that I did
And the things that you’ll do
And what’s happening to you / Cos it’ll happen to you

I studied every moment
Tried to take it all in
Tried to take it all in
Sweat it out, take it in.

I’ve got to get my head out of the photo. Pull it out. Back. Back. Look around.
