Downhill Songtext

von North Atlantic Oscillation

This is what passes for silence
Jettison sense to keep afloat

If we had a diamond for each joke
We'd be broke, but we'd laugh

"Do no harm," tattooed on
Water after peace flows still downhill

Closer to the void than to the spark
The sun-drenched park, what did it mean?

Now we're past the point of no concern
Watch it burn, let it die

"Do no harm," tattooed on
Water after peace flows still downhill

Now we're more electric than the clouds
Feeding mouths with no face

When the last heart shudders once and stops
All these props will fall away ...

"Do no harm," tattooed on
Water after peace flows still downhill
