Philip Glass - Metamorphosis Two [piano + synth]

Chorus 1:

Wonderful revelations, running through your mind,
I block them out, no wonder, I choose to be blind,
Just die....

Verse 1:

Funny little girl with the winning smile,
Playing all day, a carefree lifestyle.
Trying to find her parents,
But they don't exist.

Chorus 2:

Wonderful revelations, running through your mind,
I block them out, no wonder, I choose to be blind.

Verse 2:

Danger's around for a girl like her,
The women show envy, men will confer.
Beauty has its limits,
Uriko will learn.

Chorus 2:

Middle 16:

Verse 3:

Stories like this have a moral tone,
Uriko was killed and the Yokai roam.
If ever you should see her,
Just look the other way.

Chorus 2:

Uriko

The sounds are created by sonic.art - not only one of the finest saxophone quartets but also perhaps the most compelling chamber music formation anywhere. Featuring works by Philip Glass and Michael Nyman.

Philip Glass: String Quartet No. 3 - sonic.art Saxophone Quartet
