I FALL UP


I fall up!
I'm dying of light this early
It's all up!
It's all up!

Walled up!
Stepping into a dunky mermaid
Walled up!
Walled up!

More volts!
I'm sucking the juice from the generator
More volts!
More volts!

More volts!
"More suck at the duct" my dictu
More volts!
More volts!

Burn up!
Turn into a lanky housemaid
Burn up!
Burn up!

It's all up!
I'm living beyond the warnings
It's all up!
I fall up!

Sell up!
I'm cackling off to the Congo
Sell up!
Sell up!

Give up!
Find God in a big fat water-melon
Give up!
Give up!

More volts!
I'm sucking the juice from the generator
More volts!
More volts!

More volts!
"More suck at the duct" my dictu
More volts!
More volts!

More volts!
I'm sucking the juice from the generator
More volts!
More volts!

More volts!
"More suck at the duct" my dictu
More volts!
More volts!

More volts!
I'm sucking the juice from the generator
More volts!
More volts!

More volts!
"More suck at the duct" my dictu
More volts!
More volts!

STIFF


I wanna be thin
I wanna be small
I wanna be pinned up high and studied on the wall

I wanna be sold
I wanna be fit
I wanna be there.

I wanna be hooked
I wanna be base
I wanna be served up lightly dressed and on a plate

I wanna be cut
I wanna be dried
I wanna be there.

I wanna be changed
I wanna be rode
I wanna be made to handle very heavy loads

I wanna be his
I wanna be hers
I wanna be theirs
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.

I wanna be held
I wanna be schooled
I wanna have every plea for mercy overruled

I wanna be milled
I wanna be rolled
I wanna be there.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna be there.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna be there.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna be there.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna be there.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna be there.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna be there.


Alternative hearings:

I wanna be base == I wanna be baked -- Dan



ARE THEY THINKING OF ME?


Nay alway ullo
Unda way uzzun leer
Unda holways around
Who are under the whale

I will hum bay above
Are they over the sea?
Are they hungry above?
Are they thinking of me?

In the way of the world
Where they're always a whale
In my humble experience
There ain't no-one to help.

In the sun of the wold
Is there anyone knows
He'll be hundred before
How could anyone know?

Are they hampered again?
It was over the wold
Are they all this way up?
And the probe in the door.

Are they hungry out there?
Are they thinking of you?
In the rhythms out there
How could anyone know?

SOME WORDS


Words, but nothing clear
What channel are you on?
It's hard to hear.
You speak to the world
From such a feeble system;
So... far away.

The thought, not falling
Just drifting in the early morning.
You pass from the world
Out to the Solar System
So... far away,
So... far away.



UNDER


When all the worlds are lost in snow
I have to move this meaning through;
Disperse the force so far engendered
All near the steam and summer view
And then... remain.

Where steeples crash in fire and thunder,
Where sheets of steel obscure the land,
Where word and sense are torn asunder:
Here was the place I chose to stand.
Just when I think I'm going under,
I... remain.

Well all the waves of spin are foaming,
And fake muezzin steam and brew,
Formed in the fire of all their longings(?)
This is the way I took it through,
Just when I think I'm going under.
This is the way I thought it through;
This is the way I took it under...


Alternative hearings:

Disperse the force so far engendered == disperse the form so far engendered -- Dan

All near the steam and summer view == All miller steam and summer dew. -- Dan

And then... remain. == And *there, *within... -- Dan

I... remain == I'm there with you -- Dan

Well all the waves of spin are foaming == Where all the waves of spin are forming -- Dan

And fake muezzin steam and brew, == And faithful resin, steam, and brew -- Dan

Formed in the fire of all their longings(?) == Form in the fire of all their dawning -- Dan



OVER


Into the road and ten women
They are the rose of, oh, living
They're over...
Paling over.

Say all the words that are memory
Enter the ways of all the pain
Send over...
All is over.

Hitherto rode and wherebefore
Given the rules we had to call
All over...
All and over.

(Inaudible chorus)

Into the ways of forgiving
Into the silver source renew
Over
Big over.

Into the world he was approved
Came to the world a year too soon
Over
And over.

[German voices]

The seats are so uncomfortable, too.
You know, you never realize it.
Guess I might as well go do my makeup.
In case we get out of this thing I want to look good for those pictures.
That's my only claim to fame this Fall.
You know, this might be your only contribution to being alive.
Think anyone's worried about you?
Think anyone's worried about you?

[more German] voices

Ohh! No sacrifice!
