Are you looking at me? It's hard to tell I keep forgetting to breathe I'm in the physical realm I never noticed her leave But I guess you'll do as well So symptomatic of me Another chemical spell I'm in the physical realm I'm in the physical realm I'm like a fish in the sea Hope I remember it well Another ego to feed Another image to sell Is it dogmatic of me To have a story to tell? I'm in the physical realm I'm in the physical realm I'm like a fucking disease You're like a chemical smell I'm on a sonic trapeze Above a spiritual well On a tightrope of sound My head keeps spinning around Like a white hope I've found Not what I thought it would be Can't say you're nothing to me I'll cut the ropes that hold me Tell 'em that the dope they sold me brought me down

She's seventeen, a libertine, if only I promised her I'd call her from inside She's plasticine, a rash to me and she owns me Whoever said that's afraid of the facts and the lies An odyssey from you to me, an omen A magic so black it cracks and explodes in your eyes "Break on through," a brave man said, if only I prefer the words of a shaman: "I'm alive" I'm alive, institutionalised So you think it makes you right If you leap into the fight with a hard-on Man it only proves that you're asking To get fucked from behind And if you think they're trying to cheat you now When all they want are the smart bonds Ah man you'd be a sucker to join 'em When the guns are fired So arise, institutionalised

Drop of Rain 02:22
Every little drop of rain is keeping me from the fire warning and I swore never to walk through the place where the garden was razed Every little step I take is keeping me from the fine morning when I'll wake knowing what lies in the time become lines on her face And it's another morning on the way Can't keep from falling - run away Help me through another day Help me still the wild yearning to cross back over the line to a time I can never replace How could I have touched the flame? How to stop the fire burning? How bring back all that was lost when the flood broke and shattered the gates? And it's another dawning gone today No sense in mourning - it's gone away It's gonna rain It's gotta rain
