I went through a wall. My skin was colored like the asphalt. I have thought some evil thoughts, I turned the volume off. I stepped out into the ether. At the handrail, I reach in my pocket for two dollars for re-entry. Have a runner come send for me. When I live inside the ether, I'm a master; my own country. So i do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. Chewing out the glass in my palm. You will lay still while I am gone. I am breathing now, just for one. A voice that pierced through the low drone: Oh, I want to take your hand and marry; make you dance with fear. Now I want to live inside the ether for old times. I walk backwards all my life, and stumble sideways all the way home.
Drop the needle and drop right out of all the worries of the world. If only for a while. It’s totally worth it. These are fantastic tunes from a legendary band. Just mind blowingly beautiful then savage then beautiful again. Yep…. bit like life. Enjoy…. johno71
