From the top to the bottom Bottom to top, I stop At the core of the rotten Stopping just what I thought But the Sun has escaped us So, I'm fighting the sky And I'm far from my weightless Thinking why did I 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 an acidic question Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then, with the eyes tightly shut, looking through the rust And rot and dust, a spot of light floods the floor And pours itself upon the 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 Stopping just what I thought But the Sun has escaped us So, I'm fighting the sky And I'm far from my weightless Thinking why did I 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 Crys out yellow light as it passes it by A small black figure sits in front of a box Inside a box of rock with the needles on top Nothing stops in this land of 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 But 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 Stopping just what I thought But the Sun has escaped us So, I'm fighting the sky And I'm far from my weightless Thinking why did I 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'm seeing right through you Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'm seeing right through you Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'm seeing right through you Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'm seeing right through you Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'm seeing right through you Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'm seeing right through you Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'm seeing right through you Yeah, I got you caught in the act You better step back Telling me that I'm seeing right through you 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 have piled up De cima para baixo De Baixo para cima eu paro. No centro do Universo. Parando lentamente o que eu pensava O sol fugiu Então eu brilho no céu E eu estou longe de ser um 'estrupador' Veja o motivo pelo qual eu tentei Da linha para a agulha, do meio para o fim Quando os céus recuam e assustam, não A chuva então manda, pingando podendo se defender, Perguntas ácidas. Fortemente, o poder dá sugestão. Então com os olhos bem fechados, Enxergando apenas através da ferrugem e do pó. Uma ponta de luz inunda o chão E eu coloco sob um mundo de ilusão Então os olhos eu abri e está tudo escuro novamente. Em um minuto, você me encontrará. Os olhos me queimam Você diz que nunca me esquecerá Mas as mentiras se acumulavam Movendo-se em todas as partes Gritando na subida e na decida da vida Poluição manifestada em som purpétuo.
