Dead to the world my body was sleeping
on my mind was nothing at all
come a mist an aire so appealing
I'm here a whispering you summouned I called
I formed me a presence whose aspect was changing
oh he would shift he would not shift at all
we sat for a while he was very engaging
and when he was gone I was gone on a smile
With a strange way of walking
and a strange way of breathing
more lives than a cat
that let me astray
all in all he captured my heart
dead to the world and just
slipped away
I heard me a music that drew me to dancing
lo I turned under his spell
I opened my coat but he never came closer
I bolted the door and whispered oh well
With a strange way of walking
and a strange way of breathing
more lives than a cat
that let me astray
all in all he captured my heart
dead to the world and just
slipped away
I laid in the rushes the air was upon me
wondering well I just couldn't discern
will he come back come back to me
oh I whispered will you ever return
I was feeling sensations in no dictionary
he was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
the life in his fingers unwound my existence
dead to the world alive I awoke
With a strange way of walking
and a strange way of breathing
less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
the life in his fingers unwound my existence
dead to the world alive I awoke
alive I awoke
alive alive I awoke
alive I awoke
alive I awoke
alive
I awoke
I awoke
alive I awoke
alive alive o
alive alive o
The lyrics DEAD TO THE WORLD of PATTI SMITH is also present in the album Gone again (1996)
Patti Smith (Patricia Lee Smith) è una cantautrice, poetessa e artista statunitense nata a Chicago nel 1946. Considerata un'icona del rock alternativo, ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti con il suo stile unico che fonde punk, poesia e performance teatrale. Nel decennio settanta, Smith si è affermata come figura chiave del movimento proto-punk e della New wave, guadagnandosi il soprannome di "sacerdotessa maudite del rock" per il suo carisma interpretativo e la profondità dei suoi testi. Il suo album di debutto, *Horses* (1975), è considerato un classico del genere e contiene brani iconici come "Gloria", "Because the Night" e "Piss Factory". Smith ha collaborato con artisti come Bruce Springsteen, Iggy Pop e Fred Sonic Smith. La sua carriera si è estesa oltre la musica, includendo anche l'attività di scrittrice e artista visiva. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo *Radio Ethiopia* (1976), *Easter* (1978) e *Wave* (2004).
