We go down like moles   Claws dig an endless hole   We descend on fours   Our snouts lead us on      We fall down without notes   And so we build a barren moat   Work through the night, our eyes opaque   Our fingers cold, kisses in rain      We fall down in pairs   Moles locked in a blind stare   Your pearly mouth, it cracks a smile   Without a sound, the blind lead blind      We, the animals of prey   Have become cannibals untamed   Under the stars the moles go far   Into the earth like a sinking stone      We ascend as swans   Glide through blue waters calm   Exhausted head, it falls asleep   Under a rock, after the dig      We wake up as swans   Songs sung for no one   Left in the night, the moles asleep   Forgotten prey, dead rodent stink      We get up as swans   Big bird in a small pond   Our eyes are smiles, our fingers cold   Our lips are frowns, our toes have mold      We, the animals of prey   Have become cannibals untamed   Dug in the night, we use our spit   And make a moat where we play dead      We, the animals of prey   Have become cannibals untamed   Dug in the night, we use our spit   And make a moat where we play dead      We play dead, we play dead   We play dead, we play dead   We play dead, we play dead      We play dead, we play dead   We play dead
