Lyrics:

Ask me how I am
Ask me how I've been
And then stand and watch and hope and wait
And with any luck
I will be an earthquake
And I will clear a space here
Where you can put pictures and silence and sleep
And you can stop asking
Cos you'll be
You will be
You will be
You will be
Down in the centre of the earth with me
Now you see me
Now you don't bother looking twice
 
I picture myself like a column of smoke
When questioned I see myself
Riding around forever on a manmade horse
And you
And you
You will be
You will be
You will be
Moving randomly
You will be
Yeah you'll be
And now you see me
Now you don't bother looking twice (don't bother looking twice)
So you can
go through all
Keeping secret
Try to crawl
You can do it
Do it
Do it
 
Yeah
Yeah you will be
Riding round forever
You will be riding
Riding
Riding round
Forever
forever
Riding round forever
