lyrics

Pulmonis is a very attractive and graceful city. She is irresistibly beautiful.
Unfortunately, she evaporates slowly in the wind.

The city is only accessible by steam train. Once you arrive in the station hall, the public messages twitter in your direction: "Take care of your loved ones and eat crap food!", "Frau Schwein Kein takes care of your skin, go there in a minute!", "Keep babbling, babbling, babbling bus, baabbbelaaaa, babbelooo”, ... Once you get out of the station hall, you enter one large piazza.

That's Pulmonis! One large piazza!

The entire piazza is populated by people sitting at running turntables. No scratch void exists. They talk to each other all day long and can't live without the series of buzzing noises engraved by the phonograph.

They never change places either, they just speak different languages. The only beings that move around, are a kind of mosquitoes that meander around and along the tables at different scales. They whisper the sound of shifted stones in people's ears and promise that the lungs will be rolled up in a pipe. Then the lungs will be taken to a sidekick healer who will smoke the pipe.

On the periphery of the piazza, there are men and women working all around, opening cardboard boxes. So far no one's been able to see what's in those boxes.
Maybe that's where Pulmonis' secret lies?
