Lyrics:
When you call my name
breath fills a shut-down space.
Mouths were opened here once.
There was a band on.
Hear the buzzing of the empty halls,
or all rooms that are empty at any point in time, sigh,
aaah.
Once you played in empty bars.
Performing for the beer tap and the pool tables.
Nobody giving you their card
because you have potential.
Almost nothing interrupting ideas
jittering in the jiggers.
They sound like the way to another.
Now you go to the afterlife.
You’ve heard good things about it.
But the embers are cooling,
and the spirits are just names plus one.
And you see
tagged-over posters with faces out of frame,
boarded up windows that watch you walk away.
All things abandoned are following your steps,
associating from space to emptiness.
When you are sleeping, time glows.
(Cleo)
Trees sticks rocks bamboo leaf bamboo leaf again and then
the branch the branch the pine cones and the birds in the distance
gum gum gum cigarette butts candy wrapper a button
a slug shoes came here and here and here
someone once lay down here but the tree sand the pine cones

I think this is my favorite song on the album. It has a little bit of everything I love about Jenny in it.

Supposedly a reference to the movie of the same name (by Apichatpong Weerasethakul). Saw it a couple of years ago: quite magical, and so is this song.
