LYRICS
-------------

Adrift In a world that you can't comprehend
As you shuffle down sidewalks you used to defend
And pick through the garbage from parties you no longer attend

You know you're a stranger in still stranger lands
Where the crumbling monuments once used to stand
And they look at you funny when you ask them where to find an honest man

When you're gone, long, long gone

When they try to dismiss you, you piss on their shoes
As they fondle their falsehoods and call them the truth
If only the hunger in our bellies were so easily soothed

But you are not like them and you don't even try
No matter how rotten, you can't make them cry
You're as real as their shadows but they'll never understand why

Until you're gone, long, long gone

So you eat in the market and sleep in a hole
You drink from your hands now instead of a bowl
Stand naked before them to show how the years take their toll

And when the wild dogs come to nip at your legs
And the passing onlookers who expect you to beg
But your life was a promise and it's far too late now to renege

And then you're gone, long, long gone

The Cynic

This is a sound sculpture by She's Excited! featuring Clara Francesca for the exhibition #MakeUsVisible in Venice, Italy. It is showcased at the Off-Biennale at the Venice Climate Change Pavilion.

“Entangled Waters” by She’s Excited! invites you on an immersive journey into the sounds of the mediterranean sea and the Venice lagoon. Peaceful soundscapes of seagulls and the ocean are juxtaposed with the threatening reality the lagoon is facing: noise and water pollution, thunderstorms and high water. Some 20 million visitors flood into Venice each year. Vaporettos and other ships disrupt flora and fauna. The sea levels are rising and Venice is sinking. There is no Planet B. We are inescapably entangled with our surroundings and our environment. 
The soundbites performed by Clara Francesca are from Anton Chekhov’s play “Uncle Vanya” and from Donna Haraway’s “Staying With The Trouble”: This is an urgency, not an emergency. Stay with the trouble. 

“Entangled Waters” is an iteration of the soundscape for the performance art piece “Inescapable Entanglement” by MEDIACOELI and XRE, which premiered at Ars Electronica Festival 2022.

Forever (Happy the Man Mix)

Sing me a song of your heartache 
I’ll sing you a story of mine
And we can pretend it’s all on
An everything’s fine
Let me know all of your reasons
For being me here tonight 
Cause you know that I’ve wanted this
For a time

You said that you meant all the words of what you said
To the conversations we had 
Your leaving me, believing me 
All for reasons I don’t know

It’s so hard to wait
It’s so hard to wait forever and always 

You talk to me then you leave me
You take me to where I wouldn’t got
All along I feel so good
You make me feel whole
What can I do what can I say
To get the other one from between
Sit here and lie, maybe get mad
But it won’t go and solve a thing 

You’re leaving me while me while you bleeding me
For reasons I don’t know 
You said that you meant all the words of what you said
To the conversations we had  
You said that you meant all the words of what you said
To the conversations we had

It’s so hard to wait
It’s so hard to wait forever and always

Forever

Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus
