The waking sun on a desert plain The polar star in the sky again Your open eyes beam out the surprise from them
You're our reward So unpredictable So delectable So undetectable Unsuspectable You're our reward
There's nothing else after all You're our reward
[R - with many echos] I still hear her laughter Come see every laughter Nothing still matters The future's scattered If it's the tactic It's just fantastic Pure elation Simply anticipation It's the suggestion It's the eternal question
(Wasn't feeling possible here and now) (2: 39) [very faint] (Leopard bones...) (2: 46) [in low distorted voice]
Waiting and wanting, not knowing what for The meaning we're standing outside the door Of everyday living or ways the feeling was more
You're our reward So unpredictable So delectable So undetectable Unsuspectable You're our reward
You're our reward I still hear her laughter You're our reward Nothing else matters You're our reward [R] The future is scattered If it's the tactic You're our reward [R] It's just fantastic Pure elation You're our reward [R] You're the anticipation It's the suggestion You're our reward Of the eternal question
[R] I still hear her laughter Nothing else matters The future's scattered If it's the tactic It's just fantastic Pure elation Anticipation It's the suggestion To know the eternal question To know the eternal question
