let me take you on
we'll get high just a little
try the surface from far
we don't coincide
has it brought you closer to this
there's a common line
tied to believe in
it was a curse from before
that's not much at all
has it brought you closer to this
we've got eyes that leave us in places we don't see
let me take you on
we'll get high just a little
the crowd takes the floor
we' don't come at all

    General Comment:"We've got eyes that leave us in places we don't see"

    I think that the eyes are our mind's eyes, and we're left in places psychologically, states of mind, ideas, maybe memories of things too and places we have physically been, but which for all we can't physically see

    General Comment:I love how in the booklet, they wrote "get Canning to name more songs" under this one. One of my favourites.

    General Comment:I've had the (clears throat) priveledge of listening to about 4 of their songs. I've concluded that such was a far greater investment of time than needed to come to the conclusion that they all need to cut their prozac's in 1/8ths.
