The way the stones are set forces my next step and the action on the ball makes me dizzy in the head But would the thing be clear if I made it disappear? The action on the ground makes a funny sound Gassy in the guts, a shaking in the legs, a voice that drives a wedge between the body and the bed The action on the strings makes the body sing The breaking of the chest makes the body rest

I have got a pain all along my knee That shouldn’t be inside of me It shouldn’t be you who shows me How to go down the stairs One at a time, on your behind One at a time We step, limping, On the grass The ground it feels uneven Still We don’t feel like looking down To see what’s gonna happen next Oh!

Oh please Go no!

Everywhere he turns The truth of what he's learned Surrounds him Let me introduce my dissociate Always looking over there Staring off into the inappropriate Where it's not rude to stare Everywhere he turns The tattered and the burned Surround him Here lay the remains of my dissociate Assembled neatly on my plate I'll never come to know if it was poisonous A dish that I refuse to taste Let me introduce my dissociate Always looking over there Staring off into the inappropriate Where it's not rude to stare

Time is nothing new to me You never though I would use it secretly You just watch me move so easily I keep short I do it so long When you listen carefully I think you'll hear what I'm doing musically Let's just guess how stupid you can be I keep it short I do it so I do it so Long Do it so Long Do it so Long Do it so Long Do it so Do it so Do it so Long Do it so Long Do it so Long Do it so Long

It only happens when we play it like that It sinks like heaven We won't know when it gets up again It's almost here Right now Upon us It seems like everyone has the same feeling But we haven't yet told each other About the music I heard one time a sound That broke up into two clean halves Music, only music Has the power to make me laugh Oh! Is that how it feels to you? And will it always be true? Does this happen in music Or is it something we only hear When we're alone? We won't know when it happens again We just won't know when it comes We'll be at home We'll be at home Only the music Only the music Heaven is sitting down on a cloud It sinks to greet us We won't know when it gets up again No No we won't Know No we won't Now we won't Know No we won't

A little water A little voice The face emerges The vocal boy The body sinks In swollen skies The spirit swims In open eyes You never felt it You never heard His troubled noises His nervous words The body sinks In swollen skies The spirit swims In open eyes The mouth repeals It's broken lies Oh! A little water A little voice The face emerges The vocal boy

Freedom! A little taste of that freedom And we're on our way On the path Down the road To music Magic! A pretty piece of that magic And we know what we all feel Right now in our big hearts Gentlemen and ladies please We are here to improve by degrees My voice is gone But still it screams to bring you near us Instruments and timing pose Little threat to those of you who know How deep a song of ours can go For those who hear us Freedom! A charming tour of the kingdom Music has no end Nor a smell Nor a place to call home Magic! Just a hint of that music And we know what we need to grab hold of With both hands A little taste of that freedom And we know what we need A charming tour of the kingdom And we're on our way Oh! Ah! Oh! Aha! Ow! Oh! Aha! Whooo! Magic! A little taste of that magic And we know what we need to grab hold of With both hands Magic! Magic! Ahh Freedom! Magic!

Reaching out Holding in Against the door Through the stairs It turns out I was hurt And it stayed in the brain It stayed in the brain It stayed in the brain And the body felt the pain It stayed in the brain It stayed in the brain And I know I'll see the image Again Somersault Through the air Looking up On the pile What did you do? (What did you, what did you do, What did you do, what did you do?) It stayed in the brain It stayed in the brain It stayed in the brain And the body felt the pain It stayed in the brain It stayed in the brain And I know I'll see the image Again It all begins when you start the engine But it don't end when you hit the brakes Is there someone in there with you screaming Or are you alone? Inside out Right side up Across the street Pointing Now the lights Will gather here It stays in my brain It stayed in my brain It stayed in my brain And my body felt the pain It stayed in my brain It stayed in my brain And I know I'll see the image Again in my brain It stayed in my brain And my body felt the pain It stayed in my brain It stayed in my brain And I know I'll see the image
