From the recording More Than Human (2006)
Lyrics
My Brilliant Scenario
A call from the ferry at
Quarter-to-two
What were you preparing to do
My brilliant scenario you
I cranked up the stereo
Coltrane in blue
Then something by Berio too
My brilliant scenario you
You haunt me
Deeper than sleep
Deeper than dream
I want you
Out of my reach
Out of my dreams too
I asked Desiderio
What he would do
So much for the contrary view
My brilliant scenario you
Your dark light
Shines on the the world
The view from a bird's eye
It's not quite
Fly like a bird
As watching that bird die
My old adversary yet
What could I do
You knew you were scaring me too
My brilliant scenario you
...You knew you were scaring me too
My brilliant scenario you
