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 a rapist Look at why I did try 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 a rapist Look at why I did try
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 it's dark again
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 a rapist Look at why I did try 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 a rapist Look at why I did try
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 window then grows and captures the eye And crys 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 this land of the chain When brains lose not knowing they were part of the game And the insides go but the box stays the same In 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
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 a rapist Look at why I did try 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 a rapist Look at why I did try
In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up
Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'll see it right through you (7x)
In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up
In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies keep piling up
