{lyrics - improvised}


beyond the orange curtains
we all know that life behind
we can see no truth
beyond your ignorance

how far have i travelled
these roads again
who is out there
who can look into me and acknowledge my pain

no one except me
and no one except you 
for yourself

beyond the answers 
are the questions that your mind asks

highly decorated cars in the roads
speeding down whatever highways
no matter who you are
no matter who you'll be and what you'll be
in the end we all die

there is no escape 
or shortcuts and i love the highways

and no things that we can take
it's just a representation of god

(no one...*inaudible*)

will you listen closely to the gospels on the television
the message is the medium - oh where are you McLuhan
know where we are, know the things that we are
these extensions we preserve ourselves - mummified

the cars are passing by the roadside
when do you die
nobody knows, nobody tells you
they expect us to live to the end of the times
no one knows, nobody knows
all the secrets of our own selves
because we are not the One
we are not the One
we are not the One, that returns to Zero

there is no One, will nobody in the streets of kuala lumpur
there's nobody and anyone who lies in the streets 
we can see nothing beyond the orange curtains

oh, the truth lies beyond these orange curtains
that i wish to hold/own on/them
the truth to be all things that there is 
the transcendental truth

what we cannot see, what we are
not see what we are, not have can't see
what we not see, what we can't see
and we are not the enlightened one, or anyone

beyond the orange curtains 
you're not the one and i can't see what's beyond 
and all the things that we are not the one
and we can't see what we cannot realise

the orange curtains
the orange curtains
binds me to my ignorance

the orange curtains
the orange curtains
you see, i am no one and you are no one
and we are one

saying, oh yeah

here comes
here comes
see the life beyond the covers of seclusion
privatisation of civilisation
the rich affords more than the poorer ones
where god belongs to the pastors

we are no one
we are no one
we are no one 
to begin with...
