The Man in the Grey Suit (Doppelrahm Remix 2008)

about

Remix by Patrick de Rham of an album track released on the Poissons Autistes Collaboration "Three Timed Dead"(2008). This version was really cool but way too groovy for that particular project. As it's very different from the original, I guess it has a right to be heard, in the end...

lyrics

The Man in the Grey Suit

Pain is the measure
That keeps us growing
Such powerful incentive
To quicken the stride
Pain is the treasure
We're trying to hide
Put it aside

Time is the essence
Forever fleeting
Fake reminiscence
That withers and fades-

And the man in the grey suit is waiting in the corner

If death is a passage
Then what am I paying ?
If death has a message
Do I speak its tongue ?
Did I mock it ?
Am I putting it on ?

And the man with the black tie is standing in the corner, waiting

He has me measured…
He has me cornered…
He has me measured…
He has me cornered…
