From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core of the rotten Stop and just what I thought The sun has escaped us So I'm bright in the sky And I'm far from rapist Look at why did try (2x)
From the thread to the needle, middle to end When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend The rain then sends dripping acidic questions Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust A spot of light floods the floor And pours itself upon a world of pretend Then the eyes ease open and its dark again
Chorus
Bridge: In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up
Moving all around Screaming of the ups and downs Pollution manifested in perpetual sound And as wheels go round the sunset creeps past the Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete A wind open grows and captures the eye Cry's out yellow light as it passes it by A small black figure sits in front of a box Inside a box a rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in the slanted the chain The brains lose not knowing they were part of the game And the insides go but the box stays the same And shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again
Chorus Bridge
Yeah I got you got in the act You better step back Telling me that I seein' right through you (7x)
