MILLIONMOUSE A TUNER #1

Episode #1:

like sky like ocean

give me more of this highway and highrise

i can't be tracked on concrete

i cant' be tracked in the summer

i can't sing your anthem

i whistle monotone for your ears

my bandwidth is brittle and made of resin

too hairy to swallow

i rummage in eternity like plastic

water is my element

i m carried by the wind once dry
