Lyrics:

"Is he dead?"

No, she tells him.

Say you bounce a ball

Have you ever noticed that

Between the business of its going up

and the business of its fall

it hesitates?

It just waits

There's a fraction of a second there

when it's luxuriating in the air

Before its fate rushes it on.

"But he's hanging there"

Yes, he's hanging, yes, but from the tree of life

"Is he some sort of sacrifice?"

Yes, he's a sacrifice...

He gave himself to himself so he could see.

He gave himself to himself so he could see.

He gave himself to himself so he could see.

He gave himself

"So he could see?"

As only you can see

When the world is upside down

And you hang

From the branch of a tree

"So that's me?"

Yes, it's where you seem to be.

And you hang from the branch of a tree.

"So that's me?"

Yes, it's where you seem to be.

"So that's me."
