Transformation

Eyes screening the counter
as if it was a shooting range
where every other drinker's
right and ready for a change

          Transformation
           tonight's marching orders
           transformation
           breaching every border
           transformation

Coffee-grounds won't tell you
and the cards and stars won't spell out
how to dance and prance and chance
your luck out on the roundabout (of)

             refr.

       you shouldn't let on
       life's just a bet on

            refr.


1988. Door Ludo Mariman op muziek gezet. Het was lang deel van zijn live-set toen hij in duo optrad met Gert Van Rompaey.
