You're always finding out

About the things that people never talk about

I didn't ask to know

But now I'm compensating as I go

I know the script I'm in

I'm only thoughts of heaven trapped in flesh and skin

And from the world of men

I try to tighten up the code again



And the code is a play

A play is a song

A song is a film

A film is a dance



Boot me up on the Zen Machine

Log me onto the Zen Machine

Load me down

Everybody get ready

Hook me into the Zen Machine

Sharing time on the Zen Machine

Load me up

Everybody get ready



Sometimes it's clear to me

Then for a moment I'm in timeless ecstasy

There are no reasons why

And everyone's a passer-by

But when they've gone to bed

A fire's burning on the screen and in my head

And on a windy day

You can smell it from a mile away



And the smell is a note

A note is a taste

A taste is a hue

A hue is a touch
