lyrics

He sees the dead and talks to them... Or he's got access to an other dimension? Anyways he doesn’t care about the living of this world, except when he needs a cigarette or change... which are things that the dead have not and would make the alarm of any inter-dimensional portal ring, and it’d shut. And that’d be a shame if it did… He always walks the same streets, rolling his caddie, in deep conversation with a friend or many. And just as we can’t see them, we can not hear them. He’s probably fine with it, as he speaks in a low voice, almost whispering and constantly catching his breath as those long walks wear on him. He must be pretty old now, though no one can determine his age. I’ve been told he’s been going for that very same walk for at least twenty five years. Some people say that he looked pretty handsome back then. But now only his eyes of a nice clear blue, gazing, can prove it. Between two red hanging cheeks, his small mouth breathes a sigh as he takes a break on the same little square next to the cathedral. His favourite spot to approach people walking by and ask for the precious stuff. In general, cigarettes are given more easily than change. Maybe it's why the caddie is always empty. Unless it is full of the unseen... A black hole inside a used and dirty canvas bag on wheels. Maybe this is the portal.
