Keep Moving Don’t Move Kae Tempest

Keep Moving Don’t Move - Kae Tempest
[Verse 1]
Close the curtains, light the incense
Inhale the thick clouds with your eyes closed, your nose burns
On your knees in the corner of a strange woman's room
Her naked feet like tree roots in this undergrowth
Frankincense, Frankenstein, Francophile, Philistine
Frankly, we are killing time
Wake it, bring it back to life
Kneel, bathe in warm water
Your bodies dirt turns the bath-tub as grey as these walls
Notice, bathe at moonrise and sunrise
And when you switch off the telly
Wrap your head in clean towels
Curl up like a found thing
A dead insect collected
Between the pages of an old book written
In a language you can’t read
Now dry the inside of your elbows in painstaking ritual
Three times clockwise, three times anti-clockwise
Don't breathe in until there's no air left in your lungs
Keep moving, don’t move
Keep moving, don't move

[Refrain]
Seven point two billion humans
Seven point three billion humans
Seven point four billion humans
