Misheard Lyrics:
How very like the future this place might be.
It's a tiny world just big enough to support those more knowledgeable than me.
(more knowledgeable than me)
I feel a wave of loneliness as I head back down
(feel a wave of loneliness)
I'm going to fast. (I'm going to fast.)
...
I plunge right on into the alpha storm and into the bottomless (mumbled) below.
Suddenly I can't remember how to stop.
(can't remember how to stop)
Turn around. (Turn around.)
Look behind myself? (Look behind myself?)
Do I have to turn around before I can point?
(Do I have to turn around before I can point?)
I flip into a brief.
Original Lyrics:
A far away light in the futuristic place we might be,
It's a tiny world just big enough to support the kingdom of one knowledgeable,
Throw away the loneliness and head back down
I'm going too fast, I'm going too fast
...
I plunge right on through the office door, and into the arms of the bottomless negro of love
Suddenly I can't remember, how to stop, or turn around
Do I have to get behind myself?
Do I have to turn around before I can point?
I flip 'til I can breathe
