I can see wind upon the rise, here under glass i can see Outside, in formaldehyde, waiting to set myself free
Up around the river bend, i was separated from you You became a citizen of a world held like a zoo One step through the airlock Where the chemicals can't get through Up around the river bend, i was separated from you
Like the ocean drips from the sky, i sit here just waiting to be I can see specimens in jars, waiting, waiting to be
Up around the river bend, the specialists changed you You became a prisoner of a world kept like a zoo Outside, real life - waiting for you and for me Outside all our lives - awaiting the chance to be
Get away from me, get away from me now - it's all wrong It's too late for me, it's too late for me now - it's all gone, you have gone Will you pray for me, will you pray for me now - all night long
Up around the river bend Up around the river bend - satan's angels fly
Hey everybody, don't you know we can go outside Yeah, we can party in the formaldehyde
