Lyrics
Take this broken body
Stretch it to the sky
Pray for the lightning
That lets it cease to try
Animate this corpse
Let if fly away
Uncage this beast
Let it roam, let it play
Slip to the floor
Ecstatic automatic
Spiraling down down down
Slip from this earth
Subtracted from the rest
Spiraling down down down
Take from the middle
Take from the sides
Take from the top and the bottom
But something on the horizon
Take from the middle
Take from the sides
Take from the top and the bottom
It's far away
Swimming freestyle
Under this useless sky
Pray for a lifevest
To keep me high and dry
Don't you blame me
Don't you look askance
If I perform for you
My very own one man dance, I just
Slip to the floor
Ecstatic automatic
Spiraling down down down
Slip from this earth
Subtracted from the rest
Spiraling down down down
Take from the middle
Take from the sides
Take from the top and the bottom
But something on the horizon
Take from the middle
Take from the sides
Take from the top and the bottom
It's far away
Give to, give to me
Give to, give to me
Give to, give to me
Give to, give to me
Come down from your mountain
Come up from your sea
Reap your bitter harvest
And give it all to me
Come in from your harbor
Row out from your shores
Dig up your buried treasure
And keep wishing for more
Now I'm looking down
Upon the scene
Wanting to reach into the bag
And feel the real me
And now I'm thinking
Although I can't think at all
Maybe wishing for a different outcome
Than what chanced to befall me
Slip to the floor
Ecstatic automatic
Spiraling down down down
Slip from this earth
Subtracted from the rest
Spiraling down down down
Take from the middle
Take from the sides
Take from the top and the bottom
But something on the horizon
Take from the middle
Take from the sides
Take from the top and the bottom
It's far away
