INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE COINCIDENCE

The bed is filled with cement dust
We dream of a change

The chair is covered in cement dust
We sing and play of a change

The bathtub is filled with cement dust
Water will we never forget

The fridge is filled with cement dust
Beauty is the only thing that lasts

We are waiting for instructions from the coincidence
We don’t know if they work

INSTRUKSER FRA TILFELDIGHETEN

INSTRUKSER FRA TILFELDIGHETEN

Sengen er fylt med sementstøv
Vi drømmer om forandring

Stolen er dekket av sementstøv
Vi synger og spiller om forandring

Badekaret er fylt med sementstøv
Vann kommer vi aldri til å glemme

Kjøleskapet er fylt med sementstøv
Skjønnhet er det eneste som varer

Vi venter på instrukser fra tilfeldigheten
Vi vet ikke om de virker
