Shock Activities Lyrics - Anja Garbarek

The street's reaching up to the open window 

Too much information leaks in and shoots up my spine 

Lifting my head off the pillow 

And the dust rises when I set my feet on the floor 

I breathe in and out while I try to focus 

When I feel okay I twist my mouth 

To save what little air is left 

'Cause it's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

To survive, to survive, to survive 

This situation, situation, situation, situation 

To survive, to survive, to survive 

This situation, situation, situation, situation 

I keep far away but I'm missing nothing 

My eyes are an endless panorama of blue 

There's nothing here to block my view 

And with a sideways glance 

I am shown as much as I want to see 

'Cause it's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

In full motion, no variation 

This need for speed 

The notion of convulsion 

This seed of greed 

Shock activities, lack of memories 

Don't wanna be 

Cannot see 

Anything wrong with the picture 

'Cause it's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

To survive, to survive, to survive 

This situation, situation, situation, situation 

To survive, to survive, to survive 

This situation, situation, situation, situation 

'Cause it's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions 

It's a question of constructing 

An imitation of conditions
