Jensen

A bright noon with grey clouds

that tumbles around near the sea far away.

Copenhagen1 looks like all other cities,

and the time has come, and nobody understands it.

Jensen,2 Jensen, come and see!

There's a hole in the atmosphere,

and the cyclopse peers through it,

to see if everything's ready

for the guests who are coming.

Glory be to Jensen,

may Jensen live a long life.

Jensen, Jensen, Jensen...

In the year seventeen hundred twenty five

a professor lived in an underground cave.

He was searing for the room that makes people lie,

and as a student, the key was put upon his table.

Jensen, Jensen, come and see!

When he had lied for a hundred years,

he once again wanted

to speak the truth.

Glory be to Jensen,

may Jensen live a long life.

Jensen, Jensen, Jensen...

She has - he also - she has smoked.

There's a difference,

we understand...

White men, every one for himself,

black with yourselves,3

and now he is riding on his hot elephant.

Jensen, and Jensen, and yes, Jensen...

And an advertisement in Ekstra Bladet4

some company advertises big cosy duvets.

You can almost smell that Mr. Huxley5 has walked

about in the editorial office and hallucinated.

Jensen, Jensen, come and see!

Distinguished guests have arrived

in the office of the misspelling gnomes.

The most noble of noble sirs

are having a reception.

Glory be to Jensen,

may Jensen live a long life.

Jensen, Jensen, Jensen...

Now we are going under,

and now we are going across

the street underneath the water

by the docks.

Thither, thither, thither

just to wake those who are sleeping.

Wait, Jensen is embracing the universe...

Jensen, Jensen, come and see!

Blotter paper6 garlands

and crazy confetti,

while the gondolas are sailing

in stoned homes.

Glory be to Jensen,

may Jensen live a long life.

Jensen, Jensen, Jensen...

A song, a song, a song...
