Lyrics

Feedline

Isn’t it strange, but nothing new
The cord between got torn in two
Hell to pay, what you gonna do
When the muses slip away from you?

Start talking now as they hold me down
Got the boys around – it may need some explaining
You knock me underground where the air is thin
Can the light get in through the shrinking opening?

I’m tired just trying to breathe

I want it, I want it, my life depending on it
I’m locked up with a tiger in a cage
I’m breathing, I’m breathing the oxygen you’re leaving
You’re leaving, you’re leaving so get away

The rhythm has changed but the same old tune
Did I turn the page, was it far too soon
The form and the brushstroke, the light and the hue
I set them down for you

The cord between us got torn in two
As a rip my side and you slide from view
Twist my tongue and you got me wrong
With the Feedline gone the taste goes on and on

I want it, I want it, my life depending on it
I’m locked up with a tiger in a cage
I’m breathing, I’m breathing the oxygen you’re leaving
You’re leaving, you’re leaving so get away
The light as its fading. The slow suffocating.
The door that I’m facing, the people there waiting,
The wisdom, the ages, the light around the edges
The feedline – it stretches to break away.

(Your mind’s a car crash – I watched it collapse
The pieces flying around like birds
And at the same time you drop the feedline
I got the tune and not the words.)
