From the top to the bottom   Bottom to top I stop   At the core of the rotton   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   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 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)      Bridge (2x)
