Restlessness, when the sun is high
Directly in the midst of the sky
Melancholy, walk beside me for a while
The hours will pass on by and by.
The sun hypnotises the eyes
The brain spins like a planet out of control
Vain cosmic causes and plans
Sucked into an agonising black hole
When the brain is on fire
But the skin is clammy cold
When thoughts run riot and the body is calm
The devil walks and slowly takes hold
