  • A flask I drink of sober tea
    While relay cameras monitor me
    And the buzz surrounds it does
    Buzz surrounds
    Buzz surrounds

    Closed eyed, sky wide open
    Unlimited girl, unlimited sigh
    Elsewhere
    Indefinitely
    Far away
    Magnifies and deepens
    Ready to sing
    My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
    And listening
    (Keys swing from my hand)
    My ears know that my eyes are closed
    (Perish thoughts like contraband)

    I train myself in martial arts
    As advertised
    I reinforce my softened parts
    As advertised

    See through me little glazed lane
    A world in myself
    Ready to sing
    My sixth sense peacefully place on my breath
    (Flickering I roam)
    And listening
    My ears know that my eyes are closed
    Ready to sing
    My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
    (Flickering I roam)
    And listening
    My ears know that my eyes are closed

    I see to bolts
    Put key to locks
    No boats are rocked
    I'm free to roam
    Among dummy screens
    And magazines

    Closed eyed sky wide open
    Unlimited girl unlimited sigh

    To think that I lay next to you
    Wasting time when I could do
    A simple job in strip lights
    A flask I drink of sober tea
    'Til daylight sends me home
    Flickering I roam

    Daydreaming admiring being
    Quietly, open the world
    I hear the tune of the starry sky
    Turning over at midnight
    Seen through me little glazed one
    A world in myself
    Daydreaming admiring being
    Quietly, open the world
    I hear the tune of the starry sky
    Turning over at midnight Writer/s: Andrew Vowles, Elizabeth Fraser, Grantley Marshall, Robert Del Naja
