Reward

(album: Parallel Universe (Disc 2 - Mixture) - 2002)

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
