Miserere
The Cat Empire

Do you ever look around,
Turn your ear to the ground, show your face to the sky
On a night when the skies echo sounds,
From inside of your mind
On a stage that you shone where the sun did become you and

Move with your thoughts through the signs and the scenes
Of the worlds you have seen and the sights that have been
Your reflection in shadows and dreams
Your reflection in shadows and dreams

Did you ever see a man who did walk down the street,
White robe with no shoes on his feet,
And on top of his head placed a box with two slits,
And a sign from his neck said “I do not exist”

Or a woman who could not remember her name,
Did stutter and stutter again and again,
And saw you and called you her son, Her eyes said
“My being is gone, but still I’m not dead”

Oh miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere

Have you ever seen a sound?
Have you listened to an image?
Have you ever touched a thought?
Have you ever tasted nothing?
Have you ever told a lie that was true more than truth?
Because truth it had lied all its life when it spoke to you

What did it say, it is that, it is this,
this goes here, here is there, It is not, yes it is
It was dulling your senses, your eyes they were bound
Have you ever, my friends, been looking around?

And the other replies with a wave of a hand,
I am already here in this promised land,
But not by a god, and not by a king,
And not by a spirit, deep from within.

I am here, because a miracle's a whim,
it’s a flash of glory it’s an empty tin,
Now 'maybe, might' lets you in,
not to save you but to keep on looking

Oh miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere
Oh miserere, miserere. Oh miserere, miserere

Have you ever been so happy that you’re sad,
That the lights turn to stars,
And the stars become eyes,
And hellos are goodbyes,
And the laughs are the sighs,
And the show disappears with a note
Until next time,
Long live living, if living can be this
Long live living, if living can be this
(Oh miserere, miserere)
Long live living, if living can be this
(Oh miserere, miserere)
Long live living, if living can be this

Do you ever look around?
Turn your ear to the ground?
Show your face to the sky on a night when the skies echo sounds?
From inside of your mind,
On the stage that you shone when the sun did become you and

Move with your thoughts through the signs and the scenes
Of the worlds you have seen and the sights that have been
Your reflection in shadows and dreams

Do you ever look around and find what is yet to be found?
