brunand brunand

LEA VON WINTZINGERODE
OVERGROUND

On view through July 30th

Got to give up life in this netherworld
Got to go up to where the air is stale
And live a life of pleasantries
Mingle in the modern families

Overground--from abnormality
Overboard--for identity
Overground--for normality
Overboard--for identity

This limbo is no place
To be a digit in another space
In another crowd
I'm nameless bound
Overground lyrics
SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES
